On Saturday morning last, in the House
of Representatives, MIR. Harris, Copper
head member from Maryland, in the course
of a speech delivered in that body said,
1.-THE South asked you to let them live in
peacei but no, you said you would hriug
them into subsection. That is not done yet /;
and God Almighty grant that it never may
be. hope that you will never subjugate
the South" He also said that "much better
would it heve been for us in the beginning
to consent to division of our magnificent
empire and cultivate amicable relations with
our estranged brethren, &C." The Copper
head or so-called Democratic members voted
in body against expelling this deep-dyed
traitor from the halls of Congress. Does
the Democracy of Delaware endorse the
sentiments of Mr.. Harris? viii its organs

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-12-09

Before dawn of the next morning, SCuo-
FIELD resumed his march towards Nashville,
burning the Harpeth bridge and leaving HooD
to follow as best he could. This the Rebel
General did during the day, taking good care
not to pursue too closely. The previous after
Moons work had given him sample Of what
the Union army could do when brought
to bay.
If the Rebels can find material in this signal
repulse OF their army for victory, they are
welcome to it all and THOMAS and SCHo-
FIELD will furnish them with an abundance
more, and perhaps ofbetter quality whenever
HooD feels like again investing. One ques-
ton arises, and we put the query to the Ec-
omincr:-"Il HooD's Franklin triumph cost
him five thousand of his best troops how
many men win he have left after gaining "a
few more Of the same sort2"

THE BUREAU OF ORDNANCE.

Commander HENRY A. WISE, the energetic
and accomplished chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance. in his annual report, states
that the work OF labricatng cannon has
steadily progressed during the year ending
November I, 1854. Over fifteen hundred
guns Of different calibre werc added TO the
grand total including some 1O-iuch solid
shot guns, and three 13-inch Dahlgrcn guns.
The rule observed in arming our ships-o-war
was to place on them the heaviest and most
effective guns they could with safety bear.
One thing is certain, and that is that all the
demands OF the navy have been promptly met.
It will give unusual satisfaction to learn that
no difficulty is anticipated in the manufacture
of the immense 15-inch guns for which three
loundries have contracts. The Report empha-
tically states that the cannon Of the United
States navy, made exclusively from American
arms, are unsurpassed by those Of any other
nation. The cast-iron banded rifles of TAR
RAFT, and the bronze 12-pounders and 20
Founders of DAHLGREN, are the only kinds
used in the navy. The percentage OF loss by
rupture and enlargement is exceedingly
small
During the past year tests have been made
Of the power of the guns belonging to the
navy. and in common use in the batteries of
our ships, against both solid and built-up
plates The result is entirely in favor Of the
guns and their solid projectiles. The last
change effected in any part Of the ordnance
equipment of the navy is thai which has taken
place in the ordinary wooden brOadside car
riage. Between muzzle-loading and breech-
loading muskets the advantages are held to be
with the latter. A thoroughly organized gun
merry ship, for the training of officers and men,
is recommended; and the removal Of large
magazines OF powder and deposits of nitre to
more secluded localities is strongly urged.
Commander WISE pays the following tribute
to the superior facilities Of our city for the
important operations of his bureau:-
"PmGADELrHA- The limited space occupied
by this navy yard, although situated in the great
! est manufacturing city of the United States, has
! necessarily restricted the ordnance work 10 the
| simple preparation Of the batteries of ships. IL
| cannot therefore, strictly speaking, be considered
! a manufacturing depot for ordnance stores; but
within It's capacity it has never failed to respond
| to the calls made upon it, and the Bureau is well
| assured that if at any time an extension OF room
! in this yard is possible for ordnance purposes, the
eminent skill Of the artisans Of Philadelphia will
| DC developed in the production Of work unex-
| Celed by the mechanics OF any other locality.
| This Yard has, moreover, the advantages of an
| abundance of coal and iron near at hand, with a
large foundry at Reading to supply the guns and
! well-located magazine at Fort Mlillin fJr pow
! der and shells; while few miles beyond the
magazine, on the river line, are the important
| powder-mills of Messrs. DUPONT Co, from
| whence to draw supplies"

EDITORIAL COURTESY.

We have clipped, incidentally, from the Bed
ford Inquirer the following courteous editorial
acknowledgment of the success which has at
tended our efforts in the publication of THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH. This is only one out of a
large number which we receive from both jour
nails and individuals. Our news and editorials
are copied all over the country, and our local
column is republished in almost all the city morn
ing papers, and this without word Of credit.
We are always happy to have any contemporary
republish our articles, but it is simply an act Of
justice that the time, money, and intelligence
which are expended in procuring them, should
receive an acknowledgment OF the source from
which the articles are derived.
The following is the article referred to-
GENERAL GRANT.-The account on our first
page OF General GRANTS movements, from the
Philadelphia EVENING TELEGRAPH, is as inte-
resting as a romance, with the advantago'in its
favor Of being true. Speaking OF THE TELEGRAPH
reminds us tbat We ought to tell our readers Il
TACT that many of them may not have the oppor-
tuuity OF knowing, as we do, viz that the Pnila-
delphia EVENING IELEGRAPH is becoming one OF
the ubl, 81 and most enterprising journals in ths
whole counry. Though only u year before the
public, it has avery generally accredited position,

SHIERM IAN.

General SHERMAN has not been heard from
definitely by the Rebels since the 2d Of De-
cember, when he was at Millen, Georgia.
The latest Rebel news from him indicates that
at that time he was displaying his columns
south, and led them to hope that he was
destined to either Darien or Brunswick,
Georgia. It is generally believed in the North
that General SHERMAN has taken Savannah;
and as all channels of news to the Rebel
papers are now cut of, it is quite likely the
enemy could not hear of such a victory for
our forces. The absence Of reliable news
from General SHERMAN in the Southern
journals, argues for him great successes,
and the fact that he has not made for the
coast for supplies before this, proves that he
has sustained his army from the enemy's
country alone during all the history Of this
great expedition. We may expect glorious
news from General SHERMAN in few days
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-12-09
JOHN WIEN FORNEY.

Indications from Washington point to a
further change in Mr.. LINCOLN's Cabinet, to
be caused by the translation of Mr.. USHER to
District Court in Indiana. Among the promi-
nent names suggested for the position of
Secretary of the Interior is JOHN w. FORNEY,
Esq, of Pennsylvania. There is certainly no
citizen of Pennsylvania whose appointment
would be hailed with more general satisfac-
ton.
The political history of Mr.. FoRNEY is so
familiar to the public that it is unnecessary to
urge it in support Of his claim to such a recog-
milton. In the hour when President
BUCHANAN turned towards the false gods
of slavery and treason, Mr.. FoRNEY severed
he almost idolatrous friendship of his whole
ife, and sought amid strangers and former
political enemies, the opportunity to carry ont
the loyal convictions of his heart. How he
has succeeded the world knows.
In his character Mr. FoRNEY combines all
he requisite energy and vigor, with an en-
arged experience in public life. He pos
sesses administrative abilities of the highest
order, and is infeXibly devoted to the cardinal
principles to which the nation has so recently
pledged its faith anew. His appointment
would be a proper rebuke to the aristocratic
slaveowners who opposed his having place in
Mr., BUCHANAN's Cabinet, and would be a
signal recognition of the moral and political
worth of a selfmade statesman, who has
already adorned so many public stations.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-12-09

not look in the least old-fogyish, and we trust
that the country will award Mr.. WELLEs the
credit for the progressive spirit which he has
certainly evinced. If any Secretary Of the
Navy ever issued more sensible report, we
would like to have it pointed out to US. If
the public still insist that he is an old fogy,
all we can say is that It is great misfortune
for a man to have a long beard.
We cannot conclude our praise Of Mr..
WELLEs without alluding to the graceful man
ner with which he awards commendation for
all that has been done, to those with whom he
has at least an equal right to share the honor
We prefer to let his modest phrase speak for
ITSELF "But il is to the officers and men Of our
naval service that the great renown Of what
has thus been done, and is doing, justly be-
longs. The best administration Of this Depart
ment can do little more at any time than to
give them the adequate means and the right
opportunity of action. To them, therefore,
first and always, be the honor, when their own
country and the world shall recognize in this
expansion, and these exploits of our naval
power, spectacle Of patriotic and virtuous
heroi,m worthy Of the cause in which it is
displayed, and Of the national life which it
illustrates and defends"
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-12-09

respected by Government cannot be- any
rover in legislatures to compel any person to
mart with anything of real value that is his,
unless he can get his own price for IL, and
have that price paid in what he may consider
money, or It's equivalent Any legislation
therefore, or any attempt at legislation, which
proposes to contravene this natural and whole
some rule in commercial economy must prove
inoperatiue to effect any good result, and be
productive only of mischief
The practice of speculating in gold is no
doubt Objectionable in certain respects, and IL
is also most desirable that the national cur
rcncy should be fully or nearly at par always
with gold. But no eXpedient5 of Congre IS,
however cunningly devised, can efectualy
prevent the trade in gold as a commodity ;
while every effort to restrict /; must inevitably
raise the price Of the article in proportion to
the increased difficulty and risk of dealing in
it, and, consequently, the difference between
the value OF gold and the purchasing power Of
the national currency be widened instead Of
diminished
In short, such legislation as that proposed
by Mr.. STEVENS is always unwise, because
practically useless. 1t can do no good, while
it may do much harm. The country is, there
fore, to be congratulated that its Representa-
tiyes so quickly saw and suppressed a measure
that was visionary in its nature, and capable
only of working incalculable public injury.

Petersburg.

The city of Petersburg, Dinwiddie county,
Va, is on the south bank of the Appomatox
River, twelve miles above its junction with the
James at City Point, and is twenty. two miles
BY railway and twenty three miles by turnpike
southeast of Richmond. Its popu'ation in
1854 was $4,000, and was growing rapidly. 1t
was one of the greatest tobacco markets of
Virginia, and contains many inc public and
private buildings. Several of its streets are
lined with three story brick houses. giving it q
fine uniform appearance. 1t is at the head of
tide water upon the Appomatox, which is nav
igable to the town for vessels of one hundred
tons The fall in the river Immediately above
the town furnishes splendid water power,
which ia employed in several extensive manu-
featuring establishments. The Great Southern
Railway, from Richmond to Charleston, passes
directly through the city. Until this war
commenced, however, there was break of
about mile in the road, in the town, making
necessary transfer of freight and passengers
from depot to depot. Military necessity"
however, caused the railroad connection to be
perfected and this road, the great feeder o
Lees army, and also of Richmond, is held as
the most important in the Southern Confed-
eracy. .}1r ~ EtI 40. 1.EIt I'll. 49, .--rt.- 4
