GENERAL NEWS.

Saturday and Sunday were the two hottest days
we have had this season. The range of the mercury
was not remarkably high, but there was s'ickyness
in the air. aud it cuDg abou, us like robe of fire,
bringing to speedy surrender the verest salamander
amongst us. About one o'clock on Sunday morning
there was thunder shower bat 1t left the atmos-
phers as hot before. BY careful survey OF angles
and exposed places one was able yesterday to get
now and then Bit Of breeze, and existence was
thus made tolerable. The rush TO ferries and cara
Yesterday was unprecedented, although the exhaus'
ton produced by the walking necessary to reach
these conveyanccs was something not to be rashiy
ventured upon. AS the sun went down all New

front tters of the houses and loed like en- over
heated OK. Within doors the sir was very IKE the
air of newy.heated oven, and the broiied denzcn
was glad enough to escape TO the street. Late III
the evening came the cool breeze peculiar to this To-
cation, aud az midnight the temperature was once
more down to comfortable.
BY the arrival on Saturday of the steamship
Columbia, we have dates from New Orleans to the
18Th inst. The news is unimportant. Two steamers
had arrived from vcksburg, and there was general
rejoicing over the final opeuing of the Mississippi.
The Spanish frigste Priucessa arrived at this
port on Saturday, and anchored in the bay. AT

dispensable recourse. Nothing else will give
us the necessary reGnforcements with adequate
celebrity. We need them nop, so as to DO
ready for a decisive Fall campaign, if the
Rebels shall not-as wo think they maybe
imoelled by the mere assembling Of this new
force to succumb.
Volunteering is too tardy resource; beside
which, it involves the appointment OF multi
tude of new and mainly green officers, who
cannot, in the nature of things be nearly so
efficient As the old ones, improved by actual
service, and with the most conspicuous towards
imbeciles and swindlers weedcd out. Three
Hundred Thousand new men Incorporated into
old regiments will DO far more effective than II
mustered in in new regiments, and will cost
the country at least Fifty Millions less.
We do not disparagc Volunteering. On the
contrary, we welcome it; the more the better.
Every good man now disposed to volunteer can
pocket tho $500 in cash which tho Govern
ment exacts from every one seeking exemption,
receive his Sl3 per month, beside clothing,
equipment aud ratons during service, and have
further bounty of 800 at the close, which
We confidently hope will be within year.
Never before on earth were such inducements
offered TO volunteers as now. But let them
take the places of drafted men, so as TO So
cure the extra $500 which does not come out
of tho Treasury, and recruit old regiments rath-
er than form new ones.
Meantime, the Prc-SIavery journals and
politicians of the loyal States are darkening
sion in the Cabinet respecting terms OF accom-
mediation with the Rebels, and are strainlng
every nerve to force the Government to solicit
Peace at their hands. Some of them are ask
ing if THE TRIBUNE will advocate 4" recon.
struc.ion" on this or that ground, IN defiance
OF our repeated and explicit statements that
we propose to leave this whole matter to the
Government OF our country, which we hold to
be at perfect liberty TO accept the submission
of the Rebels on such conditions as 1t shall
Judge honorable. proper and safe. In all this
land. there is no man who viii more heartily,
gratefully welcome just and true Peace than
the President OF the United States, nor one
whose heart would more revolt at the
Infection OF needless injury, suffering
or humiliation on the defeated Rebels.
We propose therefore, TO leave the arrange
ment on our side of conditions Of Peace wholly
to him and his constitutional advisers, while
we enireat every loyal citizen TO do bis yory
utmost toward securing an early and fit pact
hcaiion of the country b. swelling the ranks oil
the Union armies. To this end, let every
drafted man who can be spared from has
bushes, respond personally TO the call of du!yi
le. every one who cannot 80 find worthy
and patriotic substitute; and let each State,
county. city and township, generously aid aud
encourage tho National effort to recruit our
wasted armies while irowning Indignantly upon
each device 10 defeat or nullify the National
ConscripiiOn.

WASntNGT0A, Dec. Ia.
Senator Grimes bill to facilitate cnlistmcnts
in the Navy, proposes TO give the same boun-
ties as received by volunteers in the Army.
The bill of Senator Hale more efectually to
suppress the rebellion, is 10 the effect that
hereafter all persons in the United States SER
vice, are equal before the law, and all claims
for personal service, except those founded on
contract, and the claim OF parent to the SER
vices of minor child, and service rendered
in pursuance OF q sentence for punishment OF
crime, be forever abolished, anything in the
constitution or the laws OF any State TO the
contrary Notwithstanding
Senator Wilson's bill 10 increase the bounty
of volunteers, gives TO those who shall re-en-
list, having served nine months and been hon.
orally discharged, or to those who may have
less than one year to serve, the sum OF $400.
and to all others $500. 1t authorizes preni-
UNI of $25 for the enlistment of veterans, and
SIS for any other volunteer. 1t approprates
s20,000,000 for such payments. Negro sol
diers are to be equipped and paid the same as
other soldiers. All drafts from the militia of
the States are to be proportioned everywhere
to the number OF persons liable to military
duty, taking into account the number previ-
ously furnished.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Municipal cu,t---Dcc. ~.


II is we'll known, OF at least should be, TO
all persons having business at the Municipal
Court that Monday is "civil' day, so that if a
man gets into the Watch House on Saturday
night, he is either discharged in the morning
by the Marshall or taken over to Jail, to await
his trial on Tuesday. 1t will be understood,
therefore, that Saturday night is not the most
favorable time for getting iadeceRtty drunk.
Occasionally there is a civil case comes up
on Monday that is of sufficient interest to take
note OF. Such an one came up yesterday,
occupying nearly the entire day. 1t was an
action brought by Samuel Bell, of Falmouth,
against Jabez c. Benson, of Gray. 1t seems
that the defendant sold the plaintiff, in Sep
TENDER last, two COWS and calf. One Of the
cows was represented to be the mother of the
calf, which turned out to be another cows
progeny, and the COW was sick and blind. The
other cow was entirely different from what
she was represented to be, and as MIR. Benson
was not inclined to make restitution, Mr.. Bell
has sought to obtain justice by a lawsuit,
which will probably cost him the third COW.
The case was ably argued by Mr.. Vinlon
for the plaintiff, and by Mr.. +. Fox for
the defendant. The decision was not an
nounced last evening, when the Court ad-
iourned.

ed on Temperance. The weather was unfa-

Of the hall was well filed by a very attentive
and highly pleased audience. This young
Kentucky orator took a very enlarged view of
his subject, and discussed it with earnestness,
eloquence and enthusiasm. We have not

orators remarks, brief as they were. We can
assure him that his auditors were sorry he was
so brief The gallant Colonel was followed by
