Uncle Santa Claus sends me to bring you q

A book full of pictures you hardly can lit,
And soon as YOU open it wide, you will see
On the very first page, there's picture Of me.
Perhaps You don't know who is telling YOU

I'm jolly old Dutehman named fat sided

And if you would have . more exquisite

I'm also the worshipful master, "Kriss

I was brought up most kindly by good uncle
Claus,
Who taught me this comical twist Of the jaws,
And keeps me at work in eontriving new toys,
To put in the stockings Of good girls and boys.
He's getting a little too old. and too slow
To distribute his presents before the cocks
So he sends me to bring them tonight in his
place,
And snatch him kiss from your fat little
face,
So round and so soft, and so ROSY t0see-
He says you are almost as bewitehing as me
can't staya minute. but up and away,

So good night, little Jenny and Mary and
Pan,
Tomorrow be merry and gny as you can.
Good bye for the present till next year, and
then
I'll ask my old uncle to send me again.

Seward was discussed. The vote was
sixteen IN favor against thirteen.
On the 17th, another caucus adopted
r substitute, recommending the Pres
ident to partially remodel his Cabinet,
which was unanimously agreed to-
The Conservatives believed it would be
regarded as a general invitation 10 the
whole Cabiaet to resign.
On being informed Of the fact, the
Secretary and Assistant Secretary Of
State sent in their designations, request

ent writes that it is rumored, this af-
ternoon, that the entire Cabinet will
retire, leaving the President free to con-
struet a new Cabinet. This is, prob
ably, incorrect, but it is not improbable
that Messrs. Blair and Bates have also
rendered their resignation. One of the
shrewdest politicians in Congress, this
morning, expressed the hope that the
President would accept the resignation
Of every man, civil or military, who
shah offer it. with one solitary excep-
ton, and that man shall be Mr.. Chase.
He would not accept Chase's resigna-
tion in any contingency, for the sake Of

Charles Sumner has been rendered the
portfolio of Stale. Mr.. Sumner is.
perhaps, of all our statesmen. the most

R 10. SIi Whool Ga-Iang to the
great sale of horses, mules and oxen,
to be held at Gallipolis on Friday, 96th
December, under direction of Capt. C.
W. MoULros, A. Q. NJ.
Bargains are sure TO be had at this
sale. A great many animals are sold
from being too far reduced to recruit
pro6tably, with forage at the present
high prices. Several good mares with
foal and too young for service will aIse
be offered. As to age color, size, i'm
per}ections, &C., the most fastidious
cannet fail to be suited. So come along,
every lover of good stock, and come
early. The sale will com mence at 9,
precisely. and the best horse in the let.
will be the first one offered. Buyers
will do well to provide halters, before
coming to the sale, as none will be
furnished, nor any horses be returned
to the stables when sold, but paid for
and delivered to the buyer before an
other is offered.

~ Reader, a HAPPY CHRIsTMAs.-
And SO 10 most Of the Journal readers
we believe it will prove. DeplorabIe as
this war IS, and terrible as its results
are to peace and happiness in the Sec
tions OF country where it prevails. our
readers have every reason to be thank
full that their lot mas been cast in a
free State. Unexampled prosperity
has continued in old Gallia through.
out the year just closing. and if any
have 10 say, that with them the case is
otherwise, the fault must be their own.
But whilst this is the case at home
with US, how many of our brothers are
now lying on beds of sickness, wound
ed perhaps unto death. enduring all the
pains and tOJtures consequent on gun
shot wounds. How many are exposed
to inclemencies of the weather, badly
sheltered, cut off from all intercourse
with the world of civilization. deprived
Of the comforts OF home, the endear-
ments of affection, and the delights OF
friendship. Do you think it happy
Christmas to them? Do you even wish
it to be SO? Then 60 to the supper to be
given by the Ladies Of the Knitting So
ciety, on Tuesday evening next at
Franks Hall, and contribute your mite
toward a Christmas offering for the
soldiers family.
HAPPY CHRIsrMAsI But how is #
with the wife, mother, daughter or
sister of him who now "lies dead on the
field of honor?" Is it happy Christ
mas to their sad hearts? We know it
is not, cannot be, when deprived Of
their earthly snPr~'9e' ana HIsuu.-
Do you wish TO alleviate their sorrow,
and aid in making them comfortable
Then go-to the supper at FRANKS Hall,
and whilst enjoying happy Christmas
yourself. reap the double advantage of
doing good 10 the cause, in which our
benevolent ladies are engaged. So may
you do good TO all. and when peace
once more dawns on the land, your ap-
proving conscience may say to your
brethren returned from the wars, Hap

@ The northern "peace party" is
making poor progress with the work in
hand. j. Wesley Greene, who figures
so conspicuously iu the movement, is
likely to prove rather hard case. His
statement turns out a lie of the first
water. Not single prominent fact or
circumstance named in it, has any foun-
dation in truth. His affidavit only
tends to prove its falsity. Some inter-
esting developments have been made
relative to the character of this same
Greene. From them he has the well
nerited reputation of bigsmist, swind.
Ter, forger, perjurer, &c. all these
nice traits in the rogue's character only
more fully qualify him for the work the
northern peace party" have for him
to do. Secession was born and reared
on falsehood and crime. Nothing can
or will approach it except it have an af-
fnity for it. This Greene is proven to
have in the highest degree. Bat their
man overshot the mark. Like all other
natural liars, he spun his yarn too 6ne-
iy. His mission is ended. He went
up like rocket; came down like stick.
For short time, the glare of his huge
lies lit up the murky atmosphere where
IN the "peace party" love to grope their
