They came just at tho right time to be of
service, as we were under marching orders
when we received them. and the following day,
the snow falling thick and about six inches
on the ground. we took up the line of march
for Williamsport, where we arrived after two
days of the hardest marching we ever expert,
enced. We were there but short time, and
indeed had not got completed the necessary
arrangements for our comfort. VIII en- We were
again ordered to join our brigade at this place,
which was another two days march. We're
mained two days in town when we were or
dered out to camp. where. however. we could
not stay on account Of the weather, and were
ordered tor town, where we are at present in
very good quarters, though under orders to be
ready for marching at moments notice. In
short we have been most constantly on the
move since We received the mittens, which
must plead my excuse with the ladies for the
seeming negligence on my part"

who ResnonsihIel

The Cincinnati Gazette, in an article upon
"The Crisis of the Cabinet" thus places the re-
spOnsibility Of the present condition of public
affairs upon the Administration:
The Administration cannot escape response
bility for the conduct of its officers, on the plea
that they are Democrats whom it sought to bind
to the government, whom it found in office
IL must be held responsible for failure in the war;
and corruption in any department of public al
fairs They who have fastened military failure
upon il, aud have grown rich upon the public
plumber, are most ostentatious in holding it to
this responsibility
A reform is need. d in every department of the
Government, both military and civil. The con-
troll of the army, the war expenditures, whose
honest administration is so vital to the national
existence. and the whole Government should be
in the hands Of its friends. We but unite in the
cry of those who have been helping the Govern
ment to ruin through trusts conhded to them,
when We say that change is needed; and if a
revol futon Of the Administration is requisite to
bring about this change, it is imperatiyely neces
sary.
A revolution Of the Administration, in the
view of the Gozette, includes not only the ais
placement of the Cabinet, but of the President
and all in authority. The revolutionists mean
no half way work.

The fredericksburg Disaster The
FUTURE.


The Cincinnati Commercial thus discourses
upon the recent disaster of the Federal army upon
the RapPahannock:
The country has cause for eongratulation in
the fact that our Generals were enabled to un-
derstand the necessity of retrograde movement
70 save the army. IL was in most critical posi-
ton, and Gen. Burnside, Saturday night, ordered
an attack 10 he made upon the enemy's batteries
az daylight Sunday morning, our troops to ad.
vance from the city in three columns. The d.
visions to be engaged were assigned their places
and duties in this enterprise, but Gen. Sumner
protested so strongly against the movement say
ing it would be fatal to the army, that Burnside
yielded. and the country was spared a repetition
on an enlarged scale of Saturdays blunder and
disaster
Ii IS possible that If we go behind the manage
ment of our Generals on the Rappahannock, we
will hnd that there has been in the public mind
an undue appreciation of mere fighting qualities
in officers, and depreciation OF the generalshp
that does not underrate the enemy, that displays
foresight, ls wise IN precauton and Indifferent TO
the noise Of those whose passions have the better
of their judgment
Concerning the future Of the winter campaign
in Virginia, il is unlikely that anything important
can be Immediately, and possible that nothing
decisive can be even remotely, accomplished, on
the present line of operations But the position
of the enemy on the Rappahannock can be turned
BY the Abandonment OF Aqua Creek as base,
and a movement down the river to point where
is shores are commanded by gunboats, and where
supplies can be landed from transports. which can
ascend the Rsppahannock easily the POto
mac. The true base OF operations against Rich
mond is. however. on the James river and th,
more promptly the army of the Potomac is sens
back the position from which Gen Halleck
Withdrew il IN August last. the more speedily it
will ful6Il its destiny IN possessing Richmond
The logic Of events. in our Judgment, leads to
bis conclusion, irresistibly.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-The President has
issued the following:
EXECUTIVE MANsIrE,
WAsHISGroN, Dec. %, 1862.
To the Army Of the Potomac:
l have just received from your Commanding
General "A report of the battle of Fredericksburg.
The attempt was not IN error, nor the future
other than accident. The courage with which
you on an open field maintained the contest
against an entrenched foe, and the consummate
skill and success with which you crossed and re-
crossed the river the face OF the enemy, show
that you possess all the qualities of great army,
which will vet give victory to the cause of the
country and of popular Government
Condoling with the mourners for the dead, and
sympathizing with the severely wounded, con-
graduate you that the number of both is cOmpar-
atively small, and tender to you, officers and sol
diers, the thanks of the nation.

Orpheus G. Kerr ON Compensated
EmanelUa lion.

You have undoubtedly read the Abe L paper,
my boy. in the reliable morning journals, making
due allowance for the typographical outrages com
mitted by printers Of opposite politics. but there
was one portion of il gotten up for the honest Abe
by the Chaplain of the Mackerel Brigade and
this portion is so mutiated in the publishing that
cannot refrain from giving you the true yer
sion Speaking of the cost to the country of
emancipation with compensation, the Chaplain
wrote:
Certainly it is not so easy to pay something
as il is to pay nothing; but it is easier to pay
small sum than it is to pay a large sum; and il is
easier to pay any bill when we have the money
than it is to pay a smaller bill when we have no
money Compensated emancipation require. no
more money than would be necessary to the pro-
gress of remunerated acknowledgements, which
would not close before the end of FIVE hundred
years. At that time we shall undoubtedly have
FIVE hundred times many people as we have
now; provided that one dies i'm the meantime;
and supposing the premium ON gold to ncreasein
the same ratio as 1t has increased since our last
census taken. the premium on the specie be
longing TO FIVE hundred times our present popu-
lation will be amply sufficient to pay for all per-
SONS of African descent
do not state this inconsiderately. At the
same ratio of increase as we now realize. Ameri-
can gold will soon be worth more than all
Europe. We have ten millions nine hundred and
sixty three thousand miles, while Europe has
three millions eight hundred thousand, and vet
the average premium on specie, in some of the
States. IL already above that OF Europe. Taking
the brokers in the aggregate, i find that if one
gold dollar is worth 81 80 in one year
Ii will be worth 50 go in years.
