MISCELLANY.
The Boys that are Away.

Christmas time is passed and thousands
Of little ones have been made glad. Brill
liant has been the exhibition of tempting
wares, and parents and relatives have yiel-
ded according to their wants, we would not
have the juvenile jublation less; We would
not have single tiny hand or pock' { or
hungry mouth unsatisfed. But while we
share the delight Of the happy little people
about US, we think with renwed sympathy
of their elder brothers, the brave boys that
!. are away. We may have been liberal in
gifts, but those boys have surpassed us ali.
Since the holiday season commenced; some
Of them, in battlefield and hospital, have
given to their country life and limb. We
have parted with the abundance of the pres
ent, but they have made bear the future. |
We have lavished money, Tut they have
lavish ed blood. What can wedo for them
ia return?
Il is impossible, perhaps undesirable, to
supply each and all with donations and din
ners. We have had it carefully explained
to US that the delicacies we send individual
soldiers cannot always reach them, and
might burden and embarrass them if they ,
did. Ia health, our sturdy heroes accept
the fare of the camp they make daily sac
alice Of the comforts and luxuries Of which
;welare SO fond. But when worn out with
fatigue aud hardship, or struck down by
m urderous Toe they ask-what more? Only
the care that shall restore them to The rank
from which they fell, only the comforts that
shall enable them to gather up their flashed
lives, to be poured forth anew. And these
they have never yet adequately received.
Notwithstanding all our Gberality, men have N
suffered and still suffer. men are dying and
will yet die, for want of the cordials in our
closets for want of the comforts upon our
shelves. The sanitary commission has done
a greatsaud' blessed work, but 1T has never
done all it sought and strove TO do ii has :
faltered for lack of means.
This must not be. The bright eyed boys
Of yesterday are the worn soldier of to-day.
The younger brother should not monep
olize all the comforts, and the elder one the
peril and the pain. Let all the money that 4
has been expended for Christmas gifts at ?.
home be carefully counted up it is not one
iollar too much, we Wishit were more; then
let at least an equal sum be forwarded, net =
srudgingly, but as the glad overflow of full
aands and fewent iheasis, to the institution
devoted to the necessities Of those who are
10 dear 10 us, those forlorn pickets stationed
0 watch about our jutilant camp. Let US
axe down the empty stocking, cord up the
unused wine, seal up the jellies and the
sweetmeats, and send them all merrily on. =,
Let the boxes be full and the barrels heavy. :
md let US write legitibly upon each, & A

The GREAT Door AT THE CAPITOL IN
WAsHINGToN.-Tha splendid work of art,
concerning which the public have been led to
form such high anticipations, has been re-
ceived and set up, though it is not yet per-

trance of the corridor leading from the old

use, the total expenses will be just about
100000.
The leading subject of its establishment is
the history OF Columbus. 1t has two valves,
with Jour panels on each valve, and one semi
circular panel over the transom. The first
panel beginning at the bottom of the left
hand valve) contains a scene representing
Columbus before the council of Salamanca;
the second panel his leaving the Convent of
Robida; the third panel, his audience with
ceAuindhu anu AsdDelld; Tile I0urtn panel, his
departure from Palos; the semi-circular panel
over the transOm represents his first landing
at San Salvador; the fifth panel, his first
encounter with the Indians at Hispaniola; the
sixth panel, his triumphant entry INTO BARGE
Iona; the seventh panel represents him pris-
oner in chains about to be sent back to Spain
the eighth panel contains scene representing
his death.
There are sixteen small inches in the Dor
der or frame around the door, in which are
sixteen statuettes, representing distinguished
contemporaries of Columbus, and between the
panels are heads representing historians who
have written on his voyages, from his own
time down to the present day, ending with IT.
wing and Prescott. Growing the door is
bust of Columbus. The ornaments are chief
ly emblematic of conquest and navigation.
There are also about the edge four great d.
visions of the world-Europe, Asia, Africa,
and America. The surface of the work has
beautifully soft and mellow tone. All the
figures and ornaments are very sharp and
clear in outline, and the mechanical execution
is almost wonderful in its perfection.

XXXVlll OONGRESS. Especial Session
WASHINGTON, March TO-
SENATE.
The resolution Of Mr.. Anthony relative to a
committee on Manufactures was taken from
the table in the absence of other business and
placed upon its passage. Rejected.
Mr.. Dixon submitted the following:
Resolved, That the Secretary of War be,
and is hereby, directed to lay before the Sem
ate the late report of Gen. Rosecrans of the
battles of Murfreesboro', with the reports and
documents which accompany it.
Mr.. Sumner said he would not object to the
resolution, but he deprecated action that might
open the way to business of legislative
character. This was an Executive and not a
legislative session.
Mr.. Dixon said that the resolution might be
properly entertained; that there was prece-
dent for it. In justice to the officers and men
whose brilliant achievements it recognized, it
should be adopted. Agreed to.
Mr.. Davis submitted the following resolu-
ton, which was laid over:
Resolved, That the President of the United

power of REMOVAL also the amount of all pay,
salaries and perquisites, or other compensa-
tion,received by all such officers and employees
In the aggregate.
Mr.. Anthony moved a reconsideration of the
vote by which the vote relative to the commit
tee on Manufactures was rejected.
1t was recoisidered and ordered to be laid
on the table.

Report Of Wreck Supposed to be the
Pirate Retribution.
NEW YORK March 10

New YORK, March 10.
Steamer Roanoke, from New Orleans LIST
! and Havana 9Th, arrived this afternoon. New
Orleans advices contain nothing of great in
| terest.
| An information" has been filed in the Pro-
visional Court for the conhscation of SlidelPs
property in New Orleans.
| The prisoners from the Queen of the West
| report that they were jealously guarded at
Alexandria, and robbed of all their clothing
and private property.
The Era of the LIST inst states that 20 rebels
who had been recently sent into the rebel lines
had returned and begged to take the oath of
allegiance, and for bread-every one of them
suffering from actual hunger ,andrheir children
crying for food A rebel major and captain
who had been paroled by Com. Farragut,have
returned to New Orleans and taken the oath
of allegiance. The rebels would not receive
them. All the above give fearful statements
of restitution In rebellion.
Vera Cruz advices received at New Orleans
state that the French are entirely inactive, and
unable to accomplish anything without further
large reinforcements, which if not soon re-
ceived they will be driven from the country
The French officers are dissatisfied, and the
climate is operating unfavorably on the SOL
dlers. Most of the French force at Vera Cruz
are negroes from Martinique. The bulk of
the French army is near Puebla, and the coun-
try between there and the City of Mexico is
invested by guerrillas, well armed aud mount
ed. whole train of supplies from Vera
Cruz for the French army had been captured
by the Mexicans. The French are construct
ing railway TO Puebla, and the Mexicans are
amusing themselves by spreading the rails to
run the trains off the track.
A Havana letter of the 9Th inst. states that
the schooner Ocean Herald, from Portland
reports seeing on the oath ut., the wreck Of a
steamer, painted black, off Abaco Island, ~
miles from the light house. The stem and
only two smoke stacks were visible. No signs
of life was seen near her. The same day the
Schooner picked up two water casks. Nothing
having been heard of the pirate Florida at
Havana since the gunboat Sonora chased her
into heavy gale about 100 miles from Ahaco,
it was conjectured that the wreck might be
that Of the pirate.
The pirate steamer Stonewall Jackson ar
rived at Havana on the Sd, from Nassau.

New Hampshire Election.

CONCORD, March 10.
The political canvas in this State has been
one of extraordinary excitement and the vote
to-day Is comparatively one OF the largest ever
thrown. For Governor the republicans sup
port JOS. A. Gilmore, the democrats Ia A.
Eastman and the Union or war democrats
Col Walter Hartman. The returns for Gov
ernor in sixty-seven towns give Gilmore 10 400,

some OF the principal towns is ss iollows:-
Concord, Gilmore 1915, Eastman 74e, Harri-
man 1928; Dover, J55, SAT, 40; Portsmouth.
$50, las, 30; Manchester, 995 1859, 567; Nash

hundred towns loot up, Gilmore l5,649. East
man 16,903, Hartman 20SO.
l1.30 p M.-Returns from about two-tbirds
of the State indicate that the Legislature will
be largely republican, that there has been no
choice OF Governor by the people, and that the
three republican members of Congress have
been elected, although there is some doubt
about the first, Joel Eastman's district.
CONCORD, March II, 2A.M.
The returns from about It's towns give
Gilmore 24,SS1, Eastman 25,722, Hartman
1913. These returns indicate that there is no
election OF Governor by the people. The re-
publicans will have majority in the Council,
Senate and House of Representatives. II is
believed that all the republican candidates for
Congress are elected. The majorities in the
LIST and I'd Districts will be small There are
about % more towns to be heard from.
