ACC lLA4 W GlAuGE NuA -Ao EeNAs
The intensely cold weather Of the past
few days has had the effect, we trust, 10 re-
mind cur welI-to-do citizens as they sat
BY their warm fires, that hundreds Of their
fellow citizens are living in mere novels
with scarcely clothing enough to cover
their nskedness, and with no food save
such as the hand Of charity measures out
to them. This tale Of poverty is no TO
ton, as The benevolent men and women
Vho are now devotiDg themselves to the
task Of searching the lanes and alleys,
hillsidea and fats for the poor, well assure
jus. Asuy instances Of terrible suffering
have came to our knowledge from other
sources, the details Of which sre harrow
Ing indeed. Many Of these suffering fam
lilies are those Of soldiers whose small
esrniDgs 60 but little way towards buy
ing the neeesssries Of life, and many Of
them are those Of soldiers who have lost
their lives on the field Of battle. Both Of
these LAST have special claims upon our
Iiberality; for not TO share with the brave
defenders Of our Union the last loaf Of
bread would be base ingratitude.
But we need dwell on this subject no
longer. We know well the fearful truth Of
the stories Of suffering, and we regret to
asy that we know also that liberal as have
been many Of our people their hberahty
hss not yet reached the measure Of neees-
Bsry relief.
The donations Of groceries, provisions,
elOGhing and cloths reckoned in dollars
and cents, would seem large in ordinary
times, but it must be remembered that
prices are in many instances, four times
what they we're before the war, and that
consequently, it takes four times the
AMOUNT Of money to meet them. And yet
,ar citizens were never better able to be
lberally charitable. Every trade and
ksnch Of mercantile business has been
ad is fourishing to an astonishing de-
Fec, and money has, been pouring in nPon
ie capitalists.
The committee raising the fund for the
eIiefOf the poor, and for distributing to
hem, are lsbOring night and day without
IntsrmissiOn, and are doing incalculsble
good, but they say their hands will be
stayed for lack Of means if the responses
to their calls be not more liberal
Essdws say mOrel We sincerely be-
HsVc not for we have 1t not in our heart
to believe that in The gOOdly, wealthy city
Of Cleveland there can be found any, who
viii say "No," !" to the appeals ofohsrity, or
who will say "let the poor soldiers wives
and children starvs or fresEs." The s0ork
efrslief must go on.

OT. JOHNS, January :.
Tne examination of Collins, DlcKinsey
and Seeley, charged with being concerned
in the Chesapeake affair, was commenced
before the Police Magistrate this morning.
At the outset the counsel for the prisoners
took exception to the form Of the warrant,
and contended that the case did not come
within the provisions of the Extradition
Treaty, as the offense was committed on
the high sea and not within the American
Jurisdiction. The magistrate reserved
Judgment on these points.
Captain Willets evidence was then
taken. He modified his first statement Q s
to the number Of shots fred at him. He
uow says there were two or three. In
other respects his evidence is substantial
ly the same as his published statement.
The examination was adjourned until
Wednesday. The court room was crowd
ed with spectators. But little excitement
was shown.

The strocity Of the rebels in their un-
willingness to exchange prisoners is
shocking to the civilization of The age.
Ths afsctation Of JEFF. Davis that be will
hold no communication with General But
ler, stripped Of all its verbiAge and parade
Of chivslry, is simple enough. These
modern barbarisns, surprising even the
ferooiOus King Of DahOmy, are trying b.
their eruelties to compel this government
to their terms. They have deliberately
brgun 70 murder cur prisoners in their
hands. They claim that all slaves OF
freedmen enlisted from the Confederate
borders are not TO be exchanged by the
laws Of war. Their punishment says the
Richmond Enquirer, we can provide for.
These rebels assume all the while that
they are q recognized nation, which is not
the case. Every man in their midst owes
allegiance to the Federal Government.
In the rebel srmies are citizens Of Mary
lind, Missouri, Kentucky and New York.
he Federal Government would be justi-
Ad in not exchanging these, according
to JEFF. Davis legic. These States have
nerer seeded.
What they propose to d., and what they
hsEe done with our negro soldiers, is evil
dent from the following from the En-
auirer:
We see no necessity for any law on the
subject The Yankees are not going to
send their negro troops into the field; i;
they know SIS well as we do that no re-
lance can be placed upon them; but ss
depot guards, &c., they will relieve their
white troops. This is the use that will De
made Of them. Should they be sent to the
field, and be put in battle, none viii be
taken prisoners-0ur troops understand
Whist to do in such cases. II any negroes
have been captured during the war, as
soldiers in the onemy's ranks, We have
not heard Of them. We do not think that
such case has been reported. The law
of the rebel Congressl Is, therefore, use
less.
In other words, the brave men, who vert
c1ptured in the assaults upon Forts Hud
son and Wagner, have been murdered II
cold blood. We blush to chronicle sucl
disbolieal cruelty.
Itis probable that the seVerest retalis
tioR viii now be resortea to. Genera
Butler is now in favor Of putting al
equal number Of rebel officers under sucl
keeping and upon such diet as shall cor
respond to the clothing, food and fue
shich cur men sre receiving in the pest
suses Of Richmond. BE is still farthe
n favor Of calling upon Northern vOlun
tssrs to relesse ourprisoners. he believe
) : sufficient number can be obtained with
cut any resort to bOunties. II the Gov
srnment has exhausted all honorsbl
mems Of bringing these miIcrearts {
terms, let Us call for more men to rsleas
thsm. This perfdiOus cruelty will resC
upon their ewn heads in bringing dow
upon them the wbirlWinds wrath Of q
outraged people.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YoRM, January 4.
Mayor Gunther assumed the duties Of
his office to-day, delivering a long Mes
sage. Oa the retiring of Ex-Msyer Op-
dyke he was escorted by committee Of
prominent citizens, with band Of music,
to a neighboring hotel, where an address
was delivered, and festivities INDUCED in.
1t appears by Mayor Gunther's address
that the city debt is so, 900, 900, probably
arising from the fact as stated in his ad
dreas, thai the system of local Govern
ment is lacking in that simplicity go ne
cessary to economy and eXpedienoy, and
that the subdivision Of functions aad The
want Of responsibility has led to e1trsva-
ganoe and multiplication of Offices.
It is stated that the Stonington steam
ers have been purchased by merchants Of
New York and Boston.

themselves sick Of the war and the hope

forced into the ranks against their will
and say they have always been opposed to
secession. Those from North Carolina,
