The Old and the New Yenr.

The period marking the close of the old,
aud the beginning of the new year, natu-
rally excites to sober thought. 1t points
out one of the great stages in the journey
of life. By it we are reminded that by
three hundred and sixty-five days travel,
we are nearer our ultimate destination. We
are also taught that we are just entering
upon another like stage in our journey,
which will, in like manner, soon be passed
through, and the year 1865 will be called,
as 1864 Is now, 'sthe old year."
The thoughts Of the most superficial and
unthinking will, in spite of their efforts
at restraint, revert, at this season, to the
history of their past lives, especially, during
the past year. Men feel that they must, at
this time, have some settlement, or at least
n review Of their temporal transactions.
And in regard to matters of the deepest in
terest, no one old enough to feel the first
awakenings Of the moral sense, can wholly
escape from serious reflections on his past
course and his future destiny. He cannot
but feel, however strong the temptations
that surround him, or however upright his
past life may have been, that he is called
upon by the highest authority in the uni
verse, to become, for the year now coming
in and for his whole future life, wiser and
a battar man

Our trip was delightful. The country is

1t was universally remarked that larger,
more peaceable, orderly and respectable

although some party or other sailed annu-

nue Collector.
1t has lately been discovered that L.. g.
BERRY, the Collector Of Internal Revenue
at Detroit, is d defaulter In the sum Of over
one hundred thousand dollars. He is rep
resented as being one Of the pure patriots
who only a few wceksago were denouncing
honest men as "copperheads," "traitors"
'.rebel sympathizers," &c, on account OF
their political opinions. His case has been
taken in hand by the Detroit Board of
Trade, which adopted on the 18th inst. the
following memorial to the President:
BOARD OF TRADE Rooms,
DETROIT, December 13, 1854.
To His Ercellency Abraham, Lincoln, President
of the United States: S3A fil1
The Board of Trade of the city OF Detroit
deem it public duty to call the attention
of your Excellency to the misuse of the
public funds by J.. G. Berry, collector of
internal revenue at this point. For over
three years the country has been covered
with shame and filed with dismay Mt the
almost daily discoveries of frauds upon the
Government. The ease with which those
implicated have escaped justice has been a
premium to crime. Taxation has aroused
the people to sense of these enormities, and
it is not to be supposed that heavy burdens
will be borne patiently and without muir
muring where such conduct Is permitted
and goes unpunised. We have arrived
at point in the fortunes of the
country where the Government must
show its power and honesty to retain the
support and respect of the people-when
Justice, In its sternest form, must overtake
the wrong-doers, leaving no hope of pardon
or escape. We sincerely believe these sem
timents will find response in the heart of
your EXcellency. We are of opinion that
exalted social position, wealth, official sta
tion, political influence, and previous good
character, should initiate against, and not
in favor of, those who betray social trusts
and violate implicit confidence. All these
advantages are safeguards thrown around
such persons, that men of less note have
not to shield them from temptation. Many
near and dear relatives and friends of the
members of this board have offered up their
lives on the battlefield as willing sacrifice
for the public good, and we would consider
any further favor or leniency toward those
who do SO much to unhinge public conf
dence as an outrage on the memories and q
blot on the patriotism of the fallen brave.
In their name, and the name of the many
burdens we so willingly bear, we pray that
your Excellency will take such steps as
will save the country for the future from
these most disgraceful doings of dishonest
and unfaithful men. For our own part we
will never cease to hold up such men to the
public scorn, and incite the public at large
to demand from those in authority the i'm
mediate trial, conviction and punishment OF
such offenders.
With great respect this Board remains
your Excellency's faithful end obedient
servants. ..-..... stt

A Richmond Paper on the Fall of
Savannah.

The Richmond Examiner of Dec. 27, has 6
long editorial on the reduction of Savan.
nah, from which the following extract is
taken: .......
1T is painful that the enemy has occll-
pied a new piece of territory, or villages
and towns, and Savannah is considerable OF
city, full of rich people. some of whom,
we are sorry to hear, have always been
Yankees, but in all the South there is not
another town which we could afford to sur
render with so little diminution Of fighting
men. Savannah has not been port for
years, the Yankees holding permanent pos
session when close to the mouth of the riv-
er. Savannah is not manufacturing city.
Its cotton stores have long since been re-
moved inland. 1t has never been military
depot. 1t is the gate of no interior. 1t
rests on 10 line. Its loss does not interfere
with any part Of the Confederate transpor-
taJion, and does not render more difficult
the defense of Charleston or Augusta, for
between Savannah and Charleston is Beau
fort and Port Royal, which the Yankees
have long held without disturbance. Beau
fort aud Savannah would have been, and
will always be, the point ddpput for land at
tack on Charleston, when that is made. The
loss of Savannah is no loss to MS, when the
w
Vicksburg would not have been unrem-
edied, if Davis had not thrown away an
army in it. The loss OF Savannah is
real gain when the garrison increases
the Confederate army in the field. The
enemy is not likely to leave garrison in
the city. In his usual vain-glorious and
bombastic style, Sherman tells his friends
that when the sun commences to move
northward he will follow the suns exam
pie, and there is reason to believe he will
keep his word. We suppose his column
left Savannah yesterday. He makes no
secret of his destination. 1t is Richmond.
His route lies from North to South Caroli-
ma. The accomplishment of success does
not necessitate an attack on Charleston any
more than the march on Savannah invoked
an attack on Macon or Augusta. Sherman
now believes he can live on the country
any where, and march any where he pleases,
with thirty or forty thousand men. He can,
il he marches through country where
there is neither army nor Notifications. It
was no great feat for him to march from
Atlanta to Savannah. He has done nothing
that a band of escaped galley slaves could
not have done as well. No doubt he can
move through the Carolnas to Richmond,
exactly as he came, If the Confederate army
is not in the way, but possibly Mr.. Davis is
now convinced of the necessity of employ
ing armies to oresist the progress of an army.
If the Confederate armies are about to be
presented as Christmas-gifts, with General
Lee as their Commander-in-Ch Chief, it will
not be an agreeable present TO item, but
such relief TO the country as will enable

Narrow Escape of bishop McEl.
Vuine.

On his late voyage home from Europe
Bishop McIlvaine, of this Episcopal Diocese,
had a very narrow escape from drowning.
Itis related as follows in The Gambler EMS
copalian, in an article from Assistant Bishop
Bedell.
The Bishop of the Diocese arrived in
New York OH Saturday, 26th, by steamship
Etna. The passage was unusually stormy
and perilous; and only signal mercy of
God saved our beloved Bishop from being
washed into the sea, beyond any possibility
of relief. For sixteen days, during which
the passage lasted strong gales were en-
countered, almost all the time dead ahead.
There was scarcely day when the passen-
gers dared to go on deck: On one occasion,
whilst the Bishop and several other passen-
gers were making their way to the saloon,
a wave rose above the ship, and crcsting at
that moment fell with tremendous force
upon the vessel. The windward bulwarks
were instantly stove and the water rushing
in carried the Bishop, and others who were
with him, down to leeward, half drowned.
One poor little cabin boy, the Captains
a gentle and attractive lad, was
swept overheard; Nothing could be done
to save him, for the ship itself was stagger-

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 81
Tho Wnr-Yenrly Predictions ms
I. 33g 10 IDS Close. faaott

Men, as they hail the advent OF new
year, naturally review the past and inquire
Into their present condition. But every
person Of intelligence and reflection feels
that his condition is intimately linked with
that Of his fellow-men, and especially, OF
his own countrymen. All but the most
thoughtless and hard-heartcd, as the years
1 '6l, '62 '63 and ga commenced to run their
rounds, lamented the sad condition of our
country. How is it now at the opening OF
the year '65? Is the state of affairs Inn
proved? The past year has been to agreat
extent, in its development of the history of
our great civil war, but the repetition OF
the year or the two years preceding. AL
ternate success and defeat have followed
the two contcnding parties. In the early
part of the year, the rebel arms were more
successful; in the latter part, important
Federal successes have been achieved. But
the work OF mutual destruction and
slaughter has all the while gone on-is still
going on--with little more prospect of
reaching its end than at the beginning of
'64. -
Indeed at the commencement of "a, and
of each preceding year, since the war be-
gan, 1t was confidently predicted, and
confidently believed by large portion
of the people, that the war would be
over, and benign peace reign in its stead,
before the year then beginning should
come to close. The same prophecy is just
as confidently made now, and, as heretofore,
the strength and resources of the North,
and the weakness and destitution of tie
South, are dwelt upon. as indubitable and
unanswerable proofs that the prediction
cannot fail of fulfllment. And, though we
boast of our keen and penetrating intellects,
and how readily we can see through al!
humbugs and expose all shams, thousands
among us will now, as in the past, believe
every word the partisans of the Admins
tration say about close of the war before
the close of the new year. And this, Too,
in the face Of the fact, that Presidcut LIN
COLIN has just called by proclamation for
three hundred thousand more men to serve |
for one, two and three years, and to be fur
nished by the 18th of February, under pain
Of draft.
The war, it is true, by some unforeseen
event.er catastrophe, may come to sudden
before the end of the year '65.
But President LINCOLN, as his action indi-
Gates, does not think it will terminate so
'oon, nor does his policy augur any such
result. His policy is, that the war must be
.arried on till, whatever the results in 9TH
n respects all the negroes arc made free,
Ind their freedom for all coming time am
ply secured. This policy has already cost
he lives Of million and half or two mill
ion of white men, and will, if persisted in,
IS it is likely to be for the next four years
1t least cause, in all probability, the sacri-
ice of more able-bodied white men than
here are negroes, men, women and child
ZEN, bond and free, in the whole United
States. |

Jeff: Davis Proclamation ReIa-

Richmond papers of the 9th contain the
proclamation of jeff, Davis, relative to the
seizure OF the steamer Michigan on Lake
Erie, and demand, under the extradition
treaty made by this Government, for the
surrender of one Burly, which concludes
as follows: The expedition undertaken in
the month of September last, for the cap
ture of the armed steamer Michigan, a ves-
sci of war of the United States, and for the
release of prisoners of war, citizens Of the
Confederate States of America, held cap
tive by the United States at Johnson's Is

and undertaken under the authority Of the
Confederate States of America against the
United States of America, and that the Gov
ernment of the Confederate States Of Amer
lea assumes the responsibility of answer
ing for the acts and conduct of any of its
officers engaged in said expedition, and
especially of Bennett G. Burly, an Acting
Master in the Navy of the Confederate
States.

The whisky Tax.

The imposition of an additional fifty cent
tax upon whisky, which has just been
done by this Congress, is nothing more or
less than the voting of so much money into
the hands OF the whisky. spectators and
whisky holders. This is evident from the
fact that they refused to tax the stock on
hand. The whisky lobby or other lobby
that is prepared to spend considerable mon
ey to get their bills through, seem to have
no difficulty with this Congress.

The Lady,s Repentance.

A young lady was addressed by young
man, who, though agreeable to her, was dis
liked by her father. OF course he could not
consent to the union, and she determined to
elope. The next night was fixed, the hour
came, he placed ladder TO the window; and
in few minuets she was in his arms. They
mounted double horseand were soon some
distance from the house. After awhile the
lady broke the silence by saying: swell
you see what proof have given you of
my affection; hope you will make me a
good husband.r He was surly fellow, and
gruffly answered, Perhaps may, and
perhaps not" She made no reply, but after
a silence of some minutes, she exclaimed,
"Oh, what shall do? Ihaye left my mon
ey behind me In my ROOM" "Then," said
he, ssyou must go back and fetch it," They
were soon again at the house, the ladder
again placed, the lady remounted while the
lover waited below. But she delayed to
come, and SO he gently called, g areyou COM
ing?" when she looked out of the window
and said, g Perhaps may and perhaps not;'
and then shut down the window and left him
to return upon his double horse alone.
Was not that a happy thought on the lady's
part--a famous joke?-Lge Of DR.. RULES.
