awful picture of the condition Of the rebel
army on the Potomac.

using greasy decks of cards in: gambling.
Great numbers are Offering large sums for

the evil, and that such is the demoralized
condition of the army that enlistment can

ton Of the army.
4 New Orleans despatch of he 9th

Rurning Of Char,estol.

Oae of the most striking events OF the
day is the burning Of ChailestOn--a place
of 1900 inhabitants. This city began
the war, and has been an infamous hole
of sediiiou and crime fer thiIiy years. Be
ginning with imprisouipg free celJred
men from the North for DO crime-mob-
biug away Judge and his family, when
the former came to test the legality Of this
brutal law-eniing with the attack Of l.
batteries and 1000 men upon about 20
starving inmates Of Fort Sumpter, to this
day they have been mad with anger and
conceit When the Union forces landed
at Port Royal, Charleston papers said they
had raised the black flag, asking aud
giving no quarter, and would burn the city
to ashes, before it should be possessed by
Yankees. Since that capture, all along
theeoast, By their own accounts, they have
burned rice and cotton crops, dwellings
and other buildings, in the face Of their
slaves. When they would not flee with
them, many Of their slaves were shot dead.
One planter shut up Zen "haTpy and con-
tented servants" who would not continue
under the lash, and burned item dolca
ufth the buitIin3. Besides the poor slaves
there are many free black in Charleston
and near, who have been pluadered to
keep up this war. And then there are the
despiscd and tax-ridden poor whites
English, Irish, Germans, &c.-who have
been of late sorely abused by the Secession
powers. We know not, as yet, which OF
these classes planned the ruin and applied
the fearful torch. Probably the slaves,
in imitation of their masters, for the more
ignorant too of,en follow the worst ex-
ample Of the better inf0Irned.) The mise
ries of that race for scores of years-han
dsd down from parent to child-haye per-
haps been avenged, and this modern Ba-
bylOn is purged. We can but pity the
thousands of innocent men, women and
children, who must have suffered with
those well worthy-bu; neither Divine
nor human Government deal, with com
munities, in general, except as mass. He
Hsends his rain upon the just and upon
the unjust" aud His judgments often
smite the innocent as well as the guilty.
But her harbor blockaied and her streets
desolated, let this Rebel hotbed remain a
silent memorial of the folly Of Secession.
1t Is happy circumstance that this Ca
!amity visited the city months after the
Gag of the Union was struck down and be.
fore it was conquered by the Government.
Noue, now can lay the blame upon any but
the subjects (willingly or uuwilliugiy) of
Secessionaom. This terrible punishment,
God has permitted them to bring upon
themselves.

SALT ToE THE THRoAT.-In these
days when diseases Of the throat are SO
prevalent, and so many cases fatal, the use
otcommon sal; is recommended as an efec-
'Oal remedy: 1--WE commenced by using it
'A'ee times a day-morniDg, noon, and
night. We dissolved large tablespoon
'ai OF pure table salt in about half Of
tunbler fall Of cold water. With this we
g'rg'ed the throat most thoroughly Just
before meal time. The result has been,
'ua' during tie entire Winter we were not
only free from the usual coughs and colds
70 which, go far as our memory extends,
We Lave Always been subject, bat the dry,
backing cough has entirely disappeared
we attribute the satisfactory result CO.
'iFely to the salt garg!e.-Rd. Telescope.
Extracts from the Canada papers,
;hi the reported opinions Of Lord
Lyons, indicate that, by the surrender
o' Mason and Sldcl, all danger Of
: war with Great Britain has. for the
present, been avoided. The Rebel
,hols have been transferred 10 the

From Port Royal, s. C.

BEAUFORT, :. C., Dee. -, 1861.
We have had no battle yet part of eur
regiment went 20 tie ferry port RoyaD,
about ten miles from here. The enemy
were in sight, on the other side two men
Of Company X threw off their clothing,
swan across the river, (aJout 20 rols,)
aud brought the ferry boats over to cur
side Of the river. 1t was bold act, as
they were within gun-sh5t Of the rebels.
One of the rebel Sergeauts came down
with a fls of truce, and wanted to know
what the firing neant-our artillery bay-
Jog fired several shots-aud when We were
on the island he was told that it was the
20 h Penna. Since then, We have heard
that they say We are Z" set of know-no,h-
ings, and don't know when they are in
danger"
One Of our sur-boats, with three men
in, was coming down the river, and hap
peuing TO get near the shore of the main
land, FIVE Of the rebel cavalry came to tie
bank of the river and ordered them to
come on shore, or they wosld fire. 4 man
from Company d told them to fire away;
they fired, but their shot fell short. The
young man up aud fired, and their captain
fell from his horse, dead. He loaded and
fred the second time, and another fell
dead He fired two other shots, bu; killed
only the two The rebels fred twenty
shots, but all fell short.
The enemy had camp two or three
miles below the ferry. Col Christ asked
permission of Gen. Stevens to 60 over and
take them, but could not get it. A few
days ago, Lieut.. (now Captain Ransom,
of the artillery, took several pieces down,
aud sent his compliments to the rebels in
the shape Of a few shells. They left their
camp, heltor skelter, like parcel of rats
from burning barn. Col. Christ and
Gen. Stevens stood by and watched the
affair. When the enemy left their camp,
the Col again asked to take the seth
across, but Gen. Stevens ordered the
Michigan Srh to go over. They refused.
He fell into great rage, and swore that
the whole brigade were towards, but he
does not let the seth 20 after the enemy
there was some honor to be gained, and
he was afraid that Pennsylvania soldiers
would get it; but when he came to look
for the camp next morning, it was gone,
and the chauce lost for ever. | DO think
that the maddesi man ever saw was Col.
Christ. AN effort is being made to have
Stevens removed, and Christ put in his .
place. Col. i. c. Christ is from Schuyl-
kill comfy, aud is respected BY all the .
men il his regiment.
Last Wednesday evening, I received
orders to 60 to the camp near the ferry .
Started in company with two others about
,undown, with a walk Of nine miles before
is 1t was a. beautiful moonlight night,
and a good road-thc celebrated shell
road. 1t is ten miles long, reaching from
Beaufort to the ferry, and is made of oys-
er shells burnt until they crumble From
he looks | should say the shells were a
DOT thick. The road is the best and mos.
.olid that ever saw. After marching at
quick step for four miles, we overlook
he Ok carts; we got in, and the way those
ken did travel was not slow The drivers

HARRISBURG, Jan. /, 1862.

more distant Members aud their caudi-
dates have arrived. Ii Is supposed most
Of the old Officers 10 the Senate will be
reelected, but the House is in some doubt.

districts, hold The balance If power; but
the Democrats have been iudustriously at
work, since the election, TO buy over
enough of such members to aid their 40
men ia organizing the House. They claim
they have got enough traitors to those who
elected them, to carry it-bat some esteem
this mere brag, for effect.
This morning is cold, and We had it,

morning, was full, and good prices all in

THE RICHIoND EXAMINER says ::
Let the Congress, which meets next
Monday, in response 10 the British
movement towards us, proclaim COM
plete free trade Tor three or five years.
Let it send that news to England by
the return of that steamer that has
brought the tidings Of the Queen :
proclamation, aud it will have rem
dcred the quarrel now begun nearly
irreparablc. II will have done better.
1t will have supplied the Southern
army with arms, and the Southern
people with those thousand neccssarics
the want Of which renders civilized
life nearly impossible.
Bat We hope little from the Con
grcsS now in session. Like the last
Convention Of Virginia, it is com
posed, for the most part, Of men who
learned their lessons in the SC ho0l of
the late United States. They belong
to the decline Of that power. They
lived in a period when blindness had
settled on the councils of their nation,
and were deep in the petty expedients
Of the Yankee policy, intended for
the petty end Of an immediate and
material prosperity, devoid of all Iof-
ty principles, conceited in itself, ig-
norant both Of history past and pre-
sent, and obiivious Of all things be-
yond party strife and party views of
their day.

The Toronto Globe, which is more
friendly TO Us than any other Canadi-
an paper, is heartily rcjoiccd at the
action OF the Administration in sur
rendering Mason and Slidell. 1t says
" We would not utter an ungcnerous
taunt at this moment; there is no
shame in the American people admit
ting that, while engaged in 4 civil
contest, they shrink from a war with
Britain. The shame lies in having
taken up. in a reckless spirit Of brava-
do, a position which it has been impos-
siblc to maintain. * For fifty
years there has been peace between
the United States and Britain, and,in
spite of a slight interruption in 1887,
we may say that the Intercourse OF
Canada with her neighbors has been
almost uniformly agreeable and ad-
vantagcous to both parties. We have
something 10 say against each other
but what ncighborS have not?
When Canadians and Americans meet
they are almost uniformly courteous
and kindly, understanding the weak
and strong points Of each other, and
finding it easy to give and take, with
out offence. We hope that there is to
be no interruption ofthis good feeling
on account Of recent events. We
can assure our neighbors there is the
strongest desire among the Canadian
people to preserve kindly relations
with them"
The Cobourg Sun copies "with
pleasure" the following from the King
ston Wing: No matter what the
News may be Of the action the Bri-
tish Government may take of the Ma
son and Slidell affair, we cntrcat our
readers, not to fret their fat with anv
dread of a war between Great Britain .
and TIE Uni,cl States. sc sible men
are at the head Of both Governments. (
and know the horrors of war too we'll .
to hasten into 1t without adequate
cause. Whatever might lie thought
Of the war at home, it would be very
in Canada. il is all very
well for US to poke up the Yankees
with long stick when they brag of
their victories and the press feeds .
them with flop doodle" but TO fight
with them is beyond expectation.
They are our neighbors and our best
customers. Many Of US are connected
with them in ties of blood and busi-
ness. They are a kind, hospitablc,
intelligent race OF peoplc-if they
would not brag SO much-are our .
and the idea Of cutting each .
