SHOWING THE cLovEN FOOT.

The following extracts are taken from the
Gresnsburg (Pa.) Democrat, the Breckinridge
organ in Westmoreland county:
"Retribution will come upon the coward
knaves who have been desolating homes and
dividing families. The hand on the dial plate
OF destiny is beginning to move. and it will
never turn back. Vengeance, deep and
damning, will be meted out ere many more suns
brighten up the face of nature. Arise,
freemen, arise, now is the hour to arise and in
your majesty to tumble The President and his
Cabinet, Hallecls aud Stanton, Senators and Con-
gressmen into the Potomac! The lives of
Lincoln, Stanton, Halleck, aud Burnside, are
no more valuable than the lives of those
whom they marched out to needless slaugh-
ter and misery. Why then should they be per-
rnitfed 10 lire aud murder our people without
mercy 7'' We wish to God that the men
who caused the hellish butchery at Fredericks
burg had been among its victims. My
the vengeance of Heaven, Earth and He'll for
ever follow, rest upon and abide with them"
This is the language Of one of class of pa
pers which lays claim to an extraordinary ven-
Grafton for the Union, and to superlative de-
gree of loyalty. To say that it is profanely
reasonable, is to call it by as mild a name as
it deserv YES.

PIPING THE SAME TUNE.

tsThe great novel expedition fitted out under
that retreating hero, Gen. Banks, has turned up
at New Orleans, without injury to any one in
particular, except Picayune Butler. and his

command, and is ordered to report to WASH

clared not entitled TO be considered as soldiers
engaged in honorable warfare, but robbers
and criminals deserving death and that they /,
and each of them, be whenever captured re-
served for execntion."-Jef. Daris' Proela-
nidtio-.
A comparison Of the above paragraps-one
from JEFF Davis Retaliatory Proclamation, the
other from the Breckinridge organ in this
place-shows striking similarity of language
and hatred to a patriotic Democrat. The edi-
tors OF the Republican, it will be seen, de-
nounce Gen. Butler and his men 'splunder-
ers," whilst the leader of the Rebels calls them
srobbers and criminals'-the latter threatens
20 hang sold Ben" if he can capture him
the former would probably exult if he did. A
rigorous discharge of duty appears sufficient
to elicit abuse and condemnation from both
Queer people these Rebels and Breckinridge
editors!

THE PROCLAMATION OF FREEDOM.

z
The President, on New Years Day, issued
his Proclamation of Freedom, Il will be
fouud elsewhere in this paper. Having des-
tgnsted the States aud parts Of States which
are to be regarded as in actual rebellion, the
President declares that all persons held as
slaves within the same are and henceforward
shall be free, and that the Executive Govern
ment of the United States, inc luding the mil
itary and naval authorities thereof, will recog-
pize and maintain their freedom. He enjoins
the freed mef to abstain from violence, recon-
mepds them to labor faithfully for reasonable
wages and announces that they will be re-
ceived into the armed service of the United
States, to garrison forts, positions, stations
and other places, and to man vessels of all
sorts In the service. Believing this act to be
one Of Justice and warranted by the Constitu-
tion, upon military necessity, he invokes upon
Il the considerate Judgment Of mankind and
the gracious favor of Almighty God.
The publication OF the Proclamation In the
Eastern Cities produced at once favorable
effect upon the Stock Market, and securities
Of all descriptions materially advanced. This
is, perhaps, the best index that can be consult
ed as to the policy of the measure. Time,
however, will soon render an infallible judg-
ment In the case.

auMHARY OF FEws.

A correspondent OF the Tribxne says that
Hthe French Government has decided to act
alone in the matter of mediation, and to offer
to the President of the United States the
same proposition which has been made to Eng
land and Russia, trusting to his judgment to
pronounce upon its merits aod its practicable
ty. That document will be accompanied by
letter from Drouyn de T. Huys, stating, in SUBJ
stance, that the Emperor believes the PROPOSE
tion OF an arm istice an act in no way ipjuri-
Gus to the interests and honor of the United
States, but, on the contrary, emirently useful |;
that it is not his intention to press it upon the
Federal Government, which alone can deter
mine the time when the friendly Offices Of
France may be accepted
The illumination Of JEFF Davis against Gen
ersi Butler and the Presidents proclamation
has the irst effect to derange the program mo
upon which the exchanges of prisoners have
heretofore taken place. The orders and
threats of the great outlaw are directly Ia vio-
lation of the cartel, and the first impulse Of
the goynrnment was to terminate all procee
dings under it. 1t had been merely agreed
to make general exchange, including soldiers,
political prisoners, and suffers; but until Da-
Wis shall satisfactorily explain his intentions,
all commissioned officers in our hands will be
retained, and only privatcs and commits
stoned officers given up.
Gen. Butler, 1t is said, several months ago
received letters threatening him with sssassi-
nation. The General showed these letters to
some secessiouists, and quietly remarked j:
"lf am disabled or killed Gen. Phelps will
be my successor, in the command of the de-
partment. Ifyou like tn, change, can stand
it.''

Union men in Eastern Tennessee has been

Great Battle at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
THE REBELS REPULsED.

CAIRO, JAN. 3.-Dispatche from Gen. Sher-
man. dated on the bastle field of V,cksburg,
we're received at Helena on Saturday, the
9th. Con. Sherman debarked his force on
the left bank of the Yazoo river, ten miles
above the mouth, and forming in line of battle,
advanced towards Yicksburg. After passing
beyond the range of our gunboats, our troops
encountred the enemy, who awaited them in
force. terrific conflict ensaed, which lasted
for five hours. The enemy was driven back
by our shell beyond the bayous girt the rear
OF Vick sburg, and from their entrenched
works which were stationed on hill.
On Saturday night, the two armies lay on
their arms, two bayous intervening between
the hostile forces. During the night pontoons
were constructed, notwithstanding terrific
fire was poured upon our men by the enemy
under the cover of underground. At daylight
ou Sunday, a concerted advance was made by
Gen. Sherman's entire force; Gen. Steele
commanding the left wing, Gems Morgan and
Blair the centre, and Gems. A. l.. and II. l..
Smith the right.
Gen. Steele succeeded in turning the enc
my's right, so as to communicate with Nor
gan's division. which had been separated by
the swamps running::at right angles to the main
front.
By sunset the whole force was engaged, and
up to 10 o. clock the musketry and artillery
firing was very severe. The rebel army, in
front of Morgan's and Smiths divisions, were
entrenched un high ground. This position
was finally carried by storm.
Our gunboats did not cooperate with the
and forces, but the gunboat Benton engaged
the Notifications on Haines' Bluff, during the
action. Several of the crew Of the Benton
were killed, and Capt Gw,nn, her commander,
was mortally wounded.
In the action, on Saturday. the Fifty eighth
Ohio, Eighth Missouri and Second Kentucky
Regiments sustained considerable loss.
Gen. Banks forces with Farraguts feet were
expected to cooperate with Gen. Sherman in
the attack, bnt they had not arrived.

THE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.

A fugitive Louisiana planter has lately pub
lished letter on the condition Of the South,
in which he fully corroborates all that others
have testified on the delusion and ignorance
of the mass of the people in the slaveholding
States, the inveterate hatred of the Yankee"
which their wicked leaders have SO carefully
trained them up in, and the present destitution
which the desolating effects Of the war have
brought on all classes. He closes with the
following remarks, which bear the impress of
goon sence, and may be read with profit by
many al the present time:
s'Still any attempt at conciliation of the
South would be utterly thrown away. The
only argument which they will understand or
respect now is superior and overwhe ling
force. PROSTATE and break 10 pieces, this
winter, Gas you can,) their organised Gouern-
msnt, and the whole resistance will fall utter
ly exhausted and helpless. The talk of its
being impossible to subjugate the South seems
to me very foolish. l believe it the duty of
the nation 10 God and the loyal people, and to
the unhappy South itseli, in whose welfare
am very deeply interested. A year ago had
myself given up to the dreadful fact, as I sup.
posed, that the nation was torn asunder. But
since the events of last spring, and what have
seen myself of the prosperity and tremendous
power of the Northern States, have entirely
changed my mind. 1t Is plain that, so far as
human prudence can foresee, nothing can pre-
vent the speedy fall of the Richmond Govern
ment but a sudden blindness and cowardice
seizing upon our loyal people just as complete
victory is within their reach.''

PRICES IN RIcHMoND.-A man has lust arrj
we'd at Suffolk, from Richmond. He says
that in Richmond Federal money is worth
twice as much as the rebel notes. He had on
pair of jean pantaloous, which he said cost
$25 soft felt hat, So !; and pair OF common
shoes, worth in the North about nine or ten
shillings, $25. Ladies' dresses were selling
at 500 and upwards. Gold is worth two huu-
dred and fifty per cent. Persons attempting
to enter the rebel lines with articles from the
North for sale, are now arrested, and their
goods confiscated, as they charge such exorbi-
tant prices.

CANADIAN JEALoUsY.-In alluding to the
proposition made in Congress, to construct q
canal between the Minnesota and the Red
river of the North, the Montreal Herald says:
This is another step toward the occupation
of the Northwestern Territory by the Ameri-
cans. They do everything possible to open up
communication with that important territory,
and in a few years the consequence will be
that the resident Of Fort Garry, and other
posts in the valley of Red river, will have
become so Americanized that an alliance
with the Federal Government will be sought
for.
