The Anniversary of Christmas

"Peace on Earth and Good Will to Man"
The first thing IN connection with this
blessed anniversary which rurshes upon the
mind is the shocking Inconsistency and
criminal recklessness of many of the pro-
fessed ministers and deciples of Him whom
this day commentaries The exalted ap-
pellation of "Prince of Peace was gwen
to Christ when he was fulfilling his mission
upon earth. Princes of war and of carnage
are the titles earned by too many of his
Pulpit and Others disciples, The doctrines
of Christ were Peace, Love, Tolerance, HUI
mility and Charity. Their doctrines are
War and Slaughter, Hatred between breth-
rem, Malevolence, Pride and Vengeance
Christ's doctrine is to even love your enc
mies-theirs is to exterminate then, from
the face of the Earth. In the whole mis-
sion of Christ and of his immediate disci-
pies, employed, as it was, when the world
recognized the relation of master and SER
want, there is not a word that looks like the
fierce prescription and bloody Abolition
spirit of some of the clergy of today,
Christ, in an especial manner, condemned
the sources of discord-the stirrerS-up OF
slrife. Many of those who profess TO rev.
erence His name, and be His humble disci-
piles, are the great apostles of political
agitation and strife. Christ taught that
men should "render unto CESAR the things
that are CKsAR's," a figure of speech en-
ployed to nculcate obedience to the civil
powers but how many of His preten ded
followers preach to US a Higher Law-that
is disobedience to civil Government
What a mockery in vital essential creed
is there between the pure, pacific, kind and
humane teachings of the Redeemer, and
the bloody, violent, fcrocious and hateful
dogmas of the hypocrits who assume the
mantle of His name to hide their evil
deeds
Is it improper on this blessed anniversary.
to hope that before another Christmas rolls
around, reconciliation between brethren
may take place, and white winged peace
shall dawn upon our Z" ce happy country?
May we not hope that ere anot thor Christ
mas the fathers, brothers, husbands, sons
and lovers, who are now engaged in the
fearful butchery of each other, will be
peacefully enjoying the sweet society of the
beloved ones at home around the old famil-
lar hearth.

LETTERS FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1868.
,ecial Correspondence to the Wheeling Re gister

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1868.
The funeral of Major General Buford took
place On Sunday last, under circumstances
showing the high estimate in which deceas-
ed was held by the authorities and the army.
The pail bearers were Gems. Casey, Hentzle
man, Sickles, Schofeld, Hancock, Double
day, Augur and Warren. The body was
conducted from the church where the last
services were performed, to the Railroad
depot, thence to be taken to West Point,
New York, for interment. Our citizens
generally showed their sympathy with the
bereavement suffered by the deoeased's
family, friends and fellow soldiers.
Whatever might be the result of the in
yestgation by the committee in John P.
Hale's bribery case, his own statement in
the Senate appears to be universally consid-
cred as a virtual confession of Judgment

SlOOO. DE attempts adefense on the ground
that ne Was tawyer, but this is untenable
because untrue. He performed no legal
services; he appeared before no court, the
only tribunal to which he appealed was the
Secretary of War, and there as promin-
ent abolition leader, he succeeded in his eff
fort. Mr.. Hale's own conscience would not
have pricked him had the services been
those merely of lawyer, and in going to
man of the well-known antecedents of Rev.
erdy johnson to get advice, he went where
he had reason to be.iev he would get some
thing whereby he might dupe and blind his
conscience and keep the money. Mr.. John
son did not say the thing that was strictly
just and true when he said he was in the
habit of doing such things as that which
was contemplated by Mr. Hale. Mr.. John
son could not do it. He cannot even get
common justice for client, to wit, the
Fitz John Porter case, wherein the COM
nonest order of the courts was outraged in
prejudice of his client. Again, Mr.. John
son printed and published review of the
testimony in the said Porter case, but it was

General Banks Department

The New Orleans correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press writes, Dec 7th:
Gen. Banks has rot sufficient troops to
carry out his plans What those plans
may be no one but himself can tell, and
he is not likely to divulge the secret. He
has been calling earnestly for more men
for some time past, but his demands have
not thus far been complied with. tits pro
bable that other department commanders
have been equally earnest in their requests
for troops, and that Government sends to
the quarters where the most pressing need
is apparent The great interest being in
northern Georgia, Gen, Grant is very prop.
erly reinforced before other appeals were
needed. --tf5-E- &C. - -
In West Louisiana the war seems to have
dwindled to comparative quiet. A few
months ago that section was swarming
with the troops of the rebel Dick Taylor,
who made up in activity what they lacked
in numbers. He was unable to keep his
command up TO proper fighting standard
,>ud is now supposed to be recalled to Tex
AZ. Combined with the forces of Magru
der nd Holmes, Taylor's command will
enabla the rebels to take the offensive
AGAINST &C. 'ue part of our line.
Life in New Orleans is at present quite
osv. The Ea ,tern, Officers seem to form a
coterie of their own, from which those hail
ing from the Wes,t are carefully excluded,
at least such is the complaint of some of
the Western men. The contrast between
this and Gen. Grants Departments is very
great, as far as etiquette is concerned AT
Gen. Grants headquarters the utmost
plainness is everywhere apparent, the Gen
eraI himself being the least pretending OF
all. Here it is just the reverse, the red
tape being in all Its glory.

Condition Of Grants Army.

| A correspondent OF the st. Louis Repub-
lican who had just returned from Chatta-
nooga, writes from Louisville the 18th:
The army is getting into good condition,
rapidly, at front. Plenty of coarse food
there now, for man and beast. The gener-
al health of the troops is excellent. The
stock is in better condition than l expected
to find it, and not near so many mules have
deceased as reported The inability to OBJ
tain long hay, straw and stslks-renders the
bringing to process rather slow, and if at
least one-half of the entire army stock
say 10000 head of mules and horses-could
be spared and driven back to interior Ken
lucky, to winter, thousands of dollars could
be saved to the country.
The prospects are good for long stay at
Chattanooga-three months at least-un-
less Grant concludes to ramble into Georgia
with empty pocket and wallet, and without
a change of clothes. The utmost strain up
on the railroad south of Nashville only
keeps up day or two of rations in advance.
The other line Of railroad, via Athens and
Huntsville, is being rapidly repaired, but
the long bridge at Duck river, near Colum-
bia, will require month in rebuilding
The rebels even blasted down the stone
piers. -
There is an efectual stoppase upon travel
TO the army, except on strictly military bu-
siness. Military conductors upon every
train, ruthlessly tumble every passenger
ashore at the first station, who have not
pass direct from headquarters at Cbattsnoo
ga. And no goods whatever can pass over
the railroad, save army supplies. The ex
press company arerestrcted to the carriage
of small soldiers packages, and the news
paper men can only carry so many pounds
daily. Not pound of suffers goods can
go forward.
The express office at Stevenson is sight
SO full of boxes and bundles. Suffers
goods are piled up in half the stores of
Nashville. There is nothing to sell at Chat
tanooga, and the soldiers are flush with
money. Ev-H the supply of letter paper
and envelope has been exhausted, and the
one firm of newspaper men have sold pa
pers and stationery to the extent of 81 500
per day-at least one third OF the amount
clear profit.

New MEN SoUTH-REBEL CONGRESS-
The list of the Rebel Congress shows that
the people of the South have elected from
their Congress, almost all the men who
brought on the war,--while ws, ofthe North,
in reverse policy, have put in power the
Abolitionists, who, under the auspices OF
England, rs years ago, started this civil war
ball. There are not in the rebel Senate,
over five original Secessionists. The two
Senators from Georgia, Herschell johnson,
and Benjamin Hill, did all they could to
avert this civil war. l-Llyn AH
