Letter from sseR. Sigel.

At a Polish sympathy meeting held in
New York last week, the following letter
was read from Major General SIGEL:
READING, PA, November 10.

Committee:

whether my official duties will allow me to

During the last political campaign in Pennsyl-

and did my best to defend the cause OF Poland
against Russian perfidy and tyranny (applause),

I hone time will destroy this error.
Truly and respectfully yours,

Effects Of Smelling Charleston.

A correspondent of the Augusta ga.

Confederate flag despite their efforts, defiantly
floats above the ruins. When the siege is rails

About twenty-five 10O-pOund Parrot shells
were flung into the city to day. Old Gilmore
scattered them prOmiscuously in the lower part
of the city, and it really seemed from the way
in which they were pitched about that he was
trying to hit somebody. The city hall building
had hole punched in one corner, and some of
the marble cornce knocked away. One struck
the telegraph office, and the operators cut
stick One smashed through the roof ola house
in Queen street, and several falling in this

Osed to the tune of the double quick" Several
fell in the vicinity of the banks on Broad
street and East Bay, tearing up the streets,
smashing window paneS. and kicking up the
mischief generally. One went crashing through
the Mechanics and Planters Bank, and il is
evident, think that Gilmore was after max

booked and his currency taken at par" is

on the wharves were slightly smashed but
during the entire shelling, which lasted from
about $3.50 to / o'clock no one was hurt.

The loyal Democrats of Massachusetts
are speaking out in decided terms against
the policy of the opposition leaders, and
in favor of the government and the war.
At Maiden, Mr. D. 81. MASON, a leading
Democrat, made an able speech urging the
people to promptly respond to the call tor
volunteers, and declaring in favor of a
determined effort to crush the rebellion,
and all the peculiar institutions of rebel
dom, if necessary for the perpetuity of the
government and the nation. In Worces-
ter, Hon. ISAAC DAVIS, up to the present
time in full accord with the Democatic
party, spoke at war meeting as follows:
Allusions have been made by the eloquent
officer who has just taken his seat to the sub
ject of slavery. I don't propose to say any
thing about that matter 1t is an institution l
abhor and loathe AS an institution it is be
tween the upper and the neither milestone, and
will be ground to powder. (Great applause.)
If this foul blot is erased we will forever shout
"glory!' "hallelujah!' I have no sympathy
for that patriot who will do nothing because
Lincoln or his cabinet do not do just right.

The Military Strength of the Nation.

The correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun has been permitted to examine the
forthcoming volume of Mr.. KENNEDY,
census commissioner, upon population.
The following extract, showing the nat
ural yearly increase of fighting men, is in
teresting:
When Il population as reached nearly its
permanent condition, as in Europe and the old
States of America, One-fifth of the total popula-
ton is still found to represent nearly the num-
Der of males, between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five. But the emigrating ages are nearly
allied to the military ages: and in the newly
settled States of the West the proportion of
fighting men is accordingly greater than in the
Atlantic States. Beginning at the cast and
proceeding westward, the proportion OF white
males from eighteen to fOrty-tive to the entire
white population, is. in Maine, 1875 per cent;
% 8; California, AL; Virginia, 1873; South
Carolina, 1853; Arkansas, 10.1; Texas, 21.9.
The total of white males in all the States (se-
coded included) and in the Territories and Dis
trict of Columbia, appears by the census tables
of 1860, to be 5,624, 065. During the year
1861 about 277,5OO white males reached and
passed the age of eighteen, and 129, 600 arrived
at and passed the age of forty five, leav-
Ing difference of 148,900. This latter
number. after being diminished by the
natural deaths. and increased by the accession
from immigration, will express the total
increase of the military population (white) du.
ing 1861. About 100000 is estimated as the
clear increase of fighting population in 1861.
The number of such, of course, increases with
augmented population in the aggregate, but
that of this country has not been Increased by
immigration since the war began to the extent
that existed before. From this data it seems
pretty clear that more persons are annually put
hors du combat (killed or permanently disabled)
by the war thar the military forces are aug
mented by the natural Increase of fighting pop
ulation.

There is nothing the President can do
that will 80 re-animate their hearts, and
stimulate their confidence and affection for
him, as the calling to his side, as his daily
advisers, Cabinet of the wisest, truest

regardless of what may have been their
former political association. At this time
and on this occasion, backed by the urgent
wishes of the people, and anxiously So
licitous for his own continuance in power
for usefulness-forh his own future fame, as
well as on account of the sorely necessi-
tous and exigent condition of the country
we earnestly press this recommends

New YORK, Dec. 8 -.Rebel accounts
from Richmond papers:
DALTON, Dec. 5.-Gen. Ledbetter ar
rived yesterday from Knoxville which
point he left last Sunday. Longstreet had
the same day made an unsuccessful attack
on Burnside and afterward commenced
retreating to Virginia.
Hooker's and Sgel's corps are reported
advancing on Knoxville and London, will
probably follow Longstreets or enter Vir-
ginia. Firing heard yesterday in the d.
rection of Cleveland. supposed to be from
Wheeler's cavalry.
DALTON, Dec. 4 --latest accounts rep
resent that Longstreet with a part of his
command made an unsuccessful attack on
Knoxville. His loss is very small. He
then raised the siege, and marched towards
Abingdon, Virginia. General Bush sue
ceeded in etfecting junction with Long
street without the loss of his supply train,
as previously reported.
Gen. Vaughan with his command and
one of Cheathams regiments was at
Charleston, Tenn, trying to make his
way TO North Carolina.

New York, Dec S.-The r chmond
Vhig, of the Sd inst. talks in the follow
ing plain fashion:
'.With no other motive or thought than
that of advancing the public interest, we
would again suggest to the President the
advantage of reconstructing his Cabinet,
and calling to bis aid the very ablest talent
of the country. We have a Department
of State that has not been able for nearly
three years to establish relations with any
other State a Treasury Department that
has failed to keep its faith from running
to ruin = War Departm mt in the hands
of chief whose studies and course of life
have been purely and specifically civil; a
Navy Department without navy; POST
Office Department with very Stacking
system of mails; and a Department of
Justice which is vacant. The business OF
each department separately shows the want
of more mastery hand and the united
powers of the chiefs in Cabinet councils, if
such councils are ever held, fail to supply
evidence of the wisdom the country needs.
We are getting in too deep water,
and feeling Of sadness is shaking the
souls of the people.

Delicacy in Conversation.

A maxim of BRUYEREs is going the
rounds OF the English newspapers. 1t will
do for this country:
There is speaking well, speaking seasonably.
speaking justly and speaking seasonably. It
is offending against the last to speak of enter.
tainments before the INDECENT; of sound limbs
and health before the infirm; of houses and
lands before one who has not SO much as a
dwelling in word, to. speak OF your pros
perity before the miserable. This converse
ton is cruel, and the comparison which natu.
rally arises in them betwixt their condition and
yours is circulating.

1t is some amends for the ridicule which
has been so unsraringly heaped by certain
foreign presses upon Mr.. LINCOLN, that the
London Spectator, one of the most intel
ligent and NEST respectable journals in
Europe, finds occasion tor the following
words about him:
Mr.. Lincoln has been tested as few governors
have ever been tested, and though he may not
always have risen fully to the level of great
emergency, he has seldom failed to display a
noble impartiality, great firmness of purpose,
and a sagacous, if somewhat utilitarian, judy
ment. y X We believe a juster man never
held the reins of government.
