From W1sHTNGT0N

MAeHIHGTnN, Dec. Z.
The Opposition Democrats held an ad-
journed meeting this morning, but toouldn't
agree upon caucus for the nomination of
officers.
The Secretary Of the Treasury's report
will probably not be rerdy bsfore noon.
HOUSE, AT NooN.-Mr. Etheridge, Clerk,
called the House to order. He said he
would proceed to call the roll Of members,
and Of such members only whose creden-
tials show they were regularly elected in
accordance with the laws Of their States
and Of the United States.
Rumors from the front tonight say
Lees whole army is on this side Of the
Rspidan. It is believed that he has been
reinforced by a portion Of Longstreefs
corps. The impression prevails nOtWith-
standing semi-oficisl denisls that our ar
my will winter on the line Of the Orange
& Alexandris Railroad, some distance this
side Of the RappshaRnock.

then, for capital, than the $500" Gov
eminent loan 2 But if sny doubt, let him
refer TO the statistics furnished by the
census tables Of the various nations OF the
world. The facts which they present viii
prove the most satisfactory mode Of dis
pslling the numberless gloomy sPPrehen-
sions which are being continually oopJur-
ed up by those who are disposed to exag-
gsrate the extent Of the calamity ocea-
stoned by our rebellion. A reference TO
the state of most Of the prosperous ma
ions of the world clearly disproves such
q position, and shows that the highest con-
ditions Of national advancement have not
been materially affected by the extended
wars in which those nations have been i'm
memoriaHy engaged, and that q heavy Ms
tionsl indebtness has not proved an IN
mitigated evil.
" For instance, Great Britain, France
and the Netherlands will undoubtedly be
conceded 10 represent the highest prosper
ity that has been attained by any Of the
European nations. And yet no nations
have been called upon TO endure hercer or
mere prolonged wars, domestic and for
eign, thsn they. The effect has been, un-
QutbLlOuAUlyf 70 AuOuE al NASLU Nc
tional Indebtedness but neither their wars
nor their Indebtedness have had the effect
to destroy their elasticity, nor to check the
progress Of their general prosperity. The
result would have been different, probably,
il these nations had been falling into de-
csy, instead Of being, as they really were,
in q state Of development; and in this re-
speet their case resembles our own, with
enormous advantages in our favor. These
nations, while undergoing the trials ofwsr
were oppressed by the evils Of an immense
exodus Of their people, caused by the dens-
ity Of their population, the impossibility
TO provide occupation for them, the low
price Of labor, and the scarcity Of terri
tory. Compared with our country, they
possessed slight room for future develop
ment; they we're settled in every part, and
no vast territory lay invitingly open to en-
courage enterprise and settlement. Their
great problem has ever been what to do
with their surplus population, which, in
its turn, has sought new fields for adVen-
ture and selfsuppOrt in countries like our
own, where an illimitable territory waits
to be developed, and where inesleulable re-
sources invite industry and energy. The
encouragement to be derived from these
facts and comparisons Of circumstances is
very great, and to the mind of any dispss-
sionste reasoner Is conclusive that the
course Of this great country is onward and
upward, and that its credit will live un-
impaired to the end"
