Southern cities may be captured and
destroyed; the Southern armies may be
sverpowsred. This and moee macy be
effected In time, for the North has the
MOST meu, cannon and mousy-and the
President of the United States is virtu-
ally a Dictator, his power ia As absolute
a. thas of tho Emperor Of R~assis-and
yss the Union will not be restored until
the present Abolition policy Is changed.
Against this Abolition policy the South
will ighs madly on forever. There will
nayer be peace between the Southern peo-
pie and the Republican party. And as
the ulsraissas, wains and aogmas OF
this laaser party are now the Consultation
and Government of this country, peace
will not be restored until the fourth day
OF March, 1865. On thai day We hope
the Southern rebellion will be suppress
ed, by the dsstruesioB Of thai abolition
ism which furnished the prstaxt for it,
and gavsit greater strength than ever be-
fore was possessed By any rebellion since
the world began. But the Installation Of
o Democrats Administration and Con-
gress, ia 1865, will cass its health and
peace giving shadows along ways before,
and thus mitigate the horrors of war,
and least give Us HoPE-the last of earth
~ blessings. 70
Rally, therefore, and carry the States
for the democracy this fall. Two States,
two of the Old Thirseen, New York and
New Jersey, have Democrats Governors
to-day. 10 January next Pennsyivania,
Ohio, Iowa and other States will nos, a.
now, blash TO owu Abolition Executives
who have crawled in the dust, but will
stand broadly up By the side Of New
York and New Jersey and demand the
restoration Of the Constitution.

Oh. il no faces are beheld on earth,
Bat toiling manhood and repining age,
No welcome eyes OF innocence and mIrth
To look upon Us kindly. who would wage
The gloomy battle for himself aloney
Or through the dark Of the oerhanging cloud
Look wistfully for light: Who would not grOan
Beneath his daily task, and weep aload
But little children take Us by the hand.
And gaze with trustfal cheer into our eyes;
Patience and fortitude beside Us stand,
In woman's shape. and wait TO heav'n our sighs.
The guiltless child holds back the arm of guilt
Upr4ised TO strike, and woman may atone
With sinless tears for sins of man, and melt

morning. The engagement lasted an hour and
half Harlan killed and wounded number of
rebels, losing killed and wounded. Among
the latter was Lieut.. PAIL Pail is of Southwiths

Morgan spent last night at Bardstown and
moved eastward on Springfield turnpike this
morning.
Scouts report that the Rebel Colonel Bszile
Duke was seriously wounded at Rolling Fork.
A messenger reported to Harlan that our
forces had an engagement at New Haven this
morning and repulsed the Rebels there.
The Shepardsville and Rolling Fork bridges
are safe. The trestle work on Muldrough's Hill
is go seriously damaged that it will require a
month for its restoration. Two small bridges,
easily restored, were burned by the rebels near
Lebanon Junction.
The above comprises all the damages done by
the rebels to bridges on the Louisville and Nash.

Lieut.. John Speed, of Glbert's staff was ia.

New YoRK, Dec. s0-A Washington letter
states that rumors of foreign Intervention are
quite common here at the present time, but they
cannot be traced to any authentic source. Tits,
however, claimed by many intelligent persons
that NJ. Seward con6dentially expects the in-
PREVENTION Of the French Government in our
affairs, and that be has shaped the foreign dplo-
macy, of this Government Of late, wholly In
reference to such danger
Hence he comedies acquescence in the trade
going on between New York and the French in
Mexico and in M. Corwin's singular conduct in
Mexico. The exact facts in the case are not
likely to appear at present unless they come to
US as the first proposal of mediation came thro'
the English papers.

OF course, as the events of the terrible battle
OF Fredericksburg are canvassed. hundreds of in.
stances come to light of individual gallantry,
daring. and GOODNESS. Col. Burns regiment of
the Irish Brigade went into the fight With about
100 men, and came out with $50. One after
another the stapdard-besrers were shot down.
until t,centy had been killed at the duty, and
the colors were torn to rags by the storm Of fire
through which they we're so CALAMITY borne
Seven different times did the Colonel seize the
colors from the ground, and hand them to the
nearest man. And iat the last, after even all
this, the colors were lost, after 500 men had
fallen in their defense. After the battle il is
said that the Colonel sat down and wept bitter
tears.
The case of Lieutenant of the same regiment
is Of most melancholy nature. In the advance
OF his regiment he was struck down by bali,
which shattered at the same time leg and an
arm; he fell between the lines of sharpehooters;
he Jay there for long time suffering intolerable
agony, and at last unable to endure it longer, he
drew, with his unshattered hand, his revolver,
and deliberately blew out bis brains.

rible war productive, in which We are engaged,
to-day, the holy Christmas day of the year Of our
Lord eighteen hundred and sixty.two.-[Cor. N.
