Whisky and War.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an arti-
Gle under the above heading, makes an ar
sument in favor of the proposed taxation
of the fluid branch of his subject, and pro-
ceeds to show that rebellion and war are
but legitimate and historic results flowing
from too great a prevalence of the cereal
juice.
After citing the instances of trouble
growing out of this "broth" of spirit,
whisky, (Which he says is the generic term
for "black spirits and white, red spirits
and gray, y in England and Scotland in
Sweden in Gustavus Thirds time, and in
our own country in 1794-the whisky
InsurrectiOn"-he says, eff it" (such taxi
"shOuld de crease the use of whisky, the
influence would be of double advantage. -"
He adds:
Of the condition of the whisky question at
the South we are Ignorant, but it is, we are
sure, one of the very life supporters of the re-
bellion. 1t is one of the forms in which grain
becomes the staff of life and although such a
flame cannot last long, it burns tiercely while
it does exist.
If the writer's theory is true, and the
rebels are in fact fighting entirely on the
stimulous of whisky, we could almost wish
that our own people had more of the same
"ardent" patriotism. We could feel with
President LINCOLN, who, when told that
Gen. GRANT kept drunk on Bourbon whis-
ky, said he would send barrel of the
same kind to every general in the army.
But we are somewhat skeptical on the
fighting properties of whisky on many
Northern officers, since the failure of bel
licose results cannot be charged to the use
of too limited a quantity.

HERBERD FISHER,
TO Soldiers and POstm asters.

Editors Of newspapers throughout the
United States will doubtless confer favor
on the soldiers in the field, as well as their
friends at home, by giving publicity to the
following:
An act to amend the law prescribing the arti-
cies to be admitted into the mails of the
United States.
BE 1t enacted By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Uni ed States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, That articles of
clothing, being manufactured of WOOL cotton,
or linen, and comprised in a package not ex-
ceeding two pounds in weight, addressed to
any nOn-commissiOned officer or private serv.
ing in the armies of the United States, may be
transmitted in the mails Of the United States
at the rate of eight cents, to be in all cases
prepaid, tor every four ounces, Or any fraction
thereof, subject to such regulations as the Post.
master General may prescribe.
Approved, January %, 1864.
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT., Jan. %, 1864.
The foregoing law is published for the infor-
nation OF the public, and especially for the
guidance OF POstmasters, and is thought to be
SO full and plain that no one can mistake its
meaning POstmasters will however, bear in
mind that packages of clothing entitled to pass
in the mails-eight ounces for four cents
must be manufactured from wool, cotton or
linen, and not exceeding two pounds in weight
and must be addressed to nOn-oOmmissiOn-
ed officer or private serving in the armies of
the United States. Consequently package
addressed to a commissioned officer, or COM
posed of other materials than rs above speci-
fled, such as boots, shoes, &C., if sent by mail,
must be prepaid by stamps at letter rates, viz :
three cents for every half ounce or fraction
thereof

The Spring Campaign.

We have repeatedly warned the country
to put no faith in the theories which took
for granted that the military power of the
rebellion was broken, and that its armies
would melt away before thu advent of
spring. Our views are thus Endorsed by
the Washington correspondent of the 1,'i-
bune:
General Halleck, in conversation with prom
inent public men, has expressed his belief that
the last grand and desperate effort will be made
in the ensuing spring by the rebels to transfer
the real fighting to Northern soil. They can
not subsist their armies in their own desOlated
region, from all the most fruitful parts of
which slaves have been withdrawn into the in
terror Cotton States.
1t is difficult to determine whether their new
campaign will be due north into Pennsylvania
again, or across Kentucky into Ohio, using
Longstreet's present position as base of ope-
ratiOns All the secret advices received at the
War Department show that Peter-the-Hermit
crusade against the North is now being
preached throughout the Confederacy, and
that they are cOnscripting into the ranks with
ruthless violence every human being that is
able to bear arms.
In letter which purpor+s to give Rich
mond news in the same paper occurs the
following:
If, however, the civil power is given to the
spirit of discOrd and contention, if the govern
ment itself is submitted to an outward press
ure which places it in the necessity of resort
ing to violence and arbitrary measures, the ar
my, on the contrary, unconscious of these dis
SensiOns, has recently seen its number in
creased and its discipline improved 1t is the
only organized body in the Confederacy which
at the present time preserves its spirit and
does not allow the wind of discord to divide
and break its ranks.
This is not the kind of talk we usually
see in the administration press; bit it is
the highest prudence to take that view of
the matter, and be prepared for the ire
mendous campaign which will open in the
spring.

the death Ofthe children was caused by the use
of improper medicines. The matter is under

Mr.. Fernando Wood, Once More.

From the New York Evening Post.
We had occasion yesterday to correct
Mr.. Fernando Woods readings of some of
the incidents in the early history of the
Union. To-day we must notice the clumsy
haste with which he strives-but in vain
to push off an inconvenient inquiry.
Mr.. Kinney, of Utah, asked:
When vessels were detained at New York.
with arms for the rebels, did not the gentle
man Mr.. Wood telegraph to the Governor of
Georgia, that he regretted exceedingly that he
had not the power to release those ships?
To this Mr.. Wood replied:
The gentleman had asked him whether he
did not, when Mayor OF New York, send a
communication to the Governor of Georgia.
regretting that arms and munitions had been
stopped at New York. He thanked the
gentleman1or favoring him with an opportu-
nifty to deny most emphatically and positively
that there was any foundation for the accuse
ton other than this, namely: before the COM
mencement of the rebellion the police of New
York stopped the departure of the Savannah
steamers with merchandise of every characters
not arms, but merchandise. The Governor of
Georgia had telegraphed him at time when
the communication between the South and
New York was uninterrupted and wished to
know whether it was by his order that the
merchandise was stopped in trdnsitu He re-
piled it was not, and that under the laws of
New York the police was not responsible to
the Mayor. And this was ALL
Now this seems to be conclusive Mr..
Kinney was answered, and the patriotic
Wood was prepared to receive the condo
lence of the House. Mr.. Kinney made
only one little mistake, which Mr.. Wood
did not take the trouble to allude to. It
was not the Governor of Georgia, but Sen
ator Ioombs, of that State, with whom
MIR. Wood had the correspondence con-
corning arms; and the following Dispatch
es, printed in the New York journals for
January 26th, 1861, will show how far
Mr.. Kinney was off tho track

Testimony Of Gen. Burnside.

At meeting held last Sunday evening
at the Cooper Institute in New York, in
behalf of fund for the families of SOL
diers, Gen. BURNSIDE said:
Nothing was SO encouraging to the soldiers
in the field as to know that their families were
taken care of. The families of soldiers de-
served to be cared for tenderly. The General
related incidents in his personal experience to
show what comfort it gave the absent husband
and father to know his wife and children were
not in trouble. Every soldier that came from
neighborhoOd where the wants of the fami-
lies OF those who had gone to defend their
country were provided for, was really better
and more contented soldier than those who
came from Localities where these things were
neglected. When the soldiers were made to
feel ana know that this kind of feeling exists,
they are made better soldiers and there is a
stronger obligation upon them to fight for
their country till every inch of territory is re-
stored that rightfully belongs to her. (Ap-
plause.) This is the general feeling of the
army.

K he Presidents Emancipation Proc
lamatiOn.

The London Daily Ners of the 18th
ult. says that Immediately after the receipt
of the telegram which stated that Mr..
WENDELL PHILLIPS had represented Pres
ident LINCOLN as having told him that the
Emancipation Proclamation was mistake,
a gentleman well known in Liverpool
wrote to Mr.. WHITING, Solicitor to the
War Department at Washington, asking
him ifthe report was true. The following
was Mr.. WRITINGS reply:
Statements have been privately and publicly
circulated that the President has said to Mr.
Wendell Phillips that he had no expectation
that the Emancipation Proclamation would do
any good, or be of more effect than the POpe's
bull against the comet. That the great folly
of his life was issuing the Emancipation Pro-
clamation." Several letters have been address,
ed to me, inquiring whether such statements
were true cannot do Mr.. Phillips the injus.
tce to believe that he ever made the assertions
attributed to him. and have the highest au-
thority for denying that the President ever on
any occasion, to any person. used the language
or expressed the sentiments thus enormously
laid to his charge. The proclamation was
one Of the series of me lsures called for by
SIcdG uCiSCHSJ. IL was uOG ouu
d emily resolved upon. Months of anxious obser-
walton, consultation and reflection had been
given to the subject of military emancipation
before it was finally carried into effect. Ii
was deemed measure of solemn import, OF
awful responsibility. and, in its ultimate re-
suits, of Unreasonable Importance to the
country. 1t is true that the President did not
at first expect such immediate and eXtraordi-
nary effects to flow from it as were anticipated
by its sanguine advocates. but he had then and
has now unbonuded confidence that it would
become an efficient means of suppressing the
rebellion, and would prepare the way in the
hostile districts for that state OF society in
which liberty and Union would become for
ever lone and inseparable'
The President would not have made a proc
lamatiOn fhe had no confidence in its efiicien-
cv. He would not have declared to all the
world that he believed it to be an act of mill
tasy necessity If no such necessity had existed
Events have occurred since the beginning OF
the year which have demonstrated the power
and wisdom of that great and irrevocable act
Ofjustice and humanity which will render the
name of President Lincoln llustrious through
all time. In his message to Congress he uses
the following language: While / remain in
my present position, shall not attempt to re-
tract or modify the Emancipation Proclama-
ton, nor shall / return to slavery any person
who is free by the terms of that proclamation,
or by ony of the acts of Congress-"
And in the proclamation of amnesty he has
insisted on complete submission to the terms
of emancipation. VIM. WHITING,
Solicitor of the War Department.

greatest impeachment to successful mining the

CAPTAIN Beaser and others ate that the
lake shore. from La Pointe to OntOnagon, is
thicklv strewn with pieces of the wreck of the
Inflated Sunbeam driven ashore by the fall
gales, and there is little doubt that some bodies
will be found during the winter and spring.
Our latest date from below says the Miner OF
January I'd are via ST. Paul. One of the Sc
verest snow storms ever known visited Onton
agon, commencing December 31st, and contin-
ned until January 9th. The first three days of
1864 were all that the most ardent admirer OF
such weather could reasonably expect or de-
sire The wind blew hurricane; the mini
mum extent of cold was twenty degrees and
the maximum thrty-four degrees below zero.
The amount of snow that fell was not less
than two. and some estimate it at three feet.

tains an extract from the log of the propeller

1868, from Ontonagon. They were three
hours cutting through the ice to the lake,

Harbor at p. NJ; at 9 o'clock cleared off and
got inside Left Copper Harbor Dec. 1, at $50

heavy sea and wind could not enter, but left
for Portage Entry. Off the light at 6:15 A. NJ;
found the river frozen over; cut through the
ice to Ed%erton dock. Took on two hundred
and nine barrels and eleven masses copper.
Left Dec. 2 Arrived at A. NJ. at Marquette.
Took ON two hundred and eighty tons iron.
Left next day; arrived at 800 canal Dec. 4.
On the morning of Dec. 5, found the lake
frozen one solid mass of clear ice. Sent men
ahead with axes to cut channel, and got
through at o'clock, Dec. Z; we saw open
water distant about three miles. At IL o'clock
we reached the open water; had fine run
through Lake Huron, arriving at Detroit De-
cember 10th.

no ice in sight in Lake Superior. S.
