The Call for 100000 Men.

In our issue of to-day will be found
the call of the President for the above
number of men. When the intelligence
reaches rebeldom that half a million of
men in addition to the veteran army now
in the field, are coming upon them, it will
strike terror into the rebel ranks, and
cause their wicked leaders to tremble for
fear of the destiny that must shortly come
upon them. They will now be able to re-
alize the fact, that our government is real
ly in earnest and intends to crush the unho-
ly rebellion which has been instigated and
carried on by rebels and trattors.--
The hand writing is visible on the wall.
The decree has gone forth, and will, ere
long, be fulfilled.

having called out seventy-6ve thousand
men for the defense of Washington, an
editorial in the Patriot Il Union, declared
that the Democratic party could have no
sympathy with the government in the war;
that not Democrat should shoulder a
musket or pull a trigger; that was the ex-
tent of that Journals patriotism at that
time After two years of war almost ex-
clusively on the policy suggested by the
Democracy, the rebellion was still defiant
and the loyal millions discouraged. At
this time a change of policy was being de-
bated. 1t was proposed that, instead of
detailing a portion of the Union army to
suppress the slave insurrection and pro-
tect rebel property, the whole army should
be used for one single purpose-the over
throw of the rebellion; leaving rebels to
take care of their property and negroes
too. 1t was also proposed t0insite all who
were willing to do service for the union,
under the old flag, into our armies with
out restriction as to color. 1t was at this
period of our own troubles that the Patri-
OF & Union establshmentgained still more
notariety by the issuingof posters calling
for the musteringof negro soldiers at Har-
risburg, hoping by this means to get up a
prejudice against the policy, which, if
adopted, was sure to strike astunning blow
to the rebel cause.
One of its editors suspected of compiled
ty with this act, was arrested, and for a
time, imprisoned, but on further examina-
tion it was found that he was not the au-
thor of this cowardly act of treason, and
he was therefore released He afterwards
denounced the act; left the concern, and
the Party, and took the stump for Curtin.
1t is quite naturnal that the Herald should
recommend such sheet to its readers

The dead lock that has kept the State
Senate inactive so long, is about to be re-
moved by special election in the Indiana
district, which has now been ordered, and
the people of the State may feel relieved
at the thought, that the time is at hand,
when the factious copperheads, can no long
er prevent the passage of Resolution by
the legislature of our own State, eompla-
menting Gen. Grant, and his gallant ar
my, which they did few weeks ago.

THE TAX ON SPIRITS. The investi-
cations of the Committee of Ways and
Means on the taxation of spirits has de-
We oped much interesting information.
The annual consumption of spirits, as
shown by the New York trade, is about
100, 0,000, 900 of gallons. By the census
of 1850, S6,7S1,557 gallons were pro-
duced in the loyal States alone. Under
the Excise law, tax was paid up to Octo-
Der -, 1864, on 32,6l0,000 gallons.
This is, of course, largely below the
years consumption, and is to be explained
by the confusion incident to the earlier
working Of the act, and particularly by
the difficulty of discriminating between
stock produced before and after Septem-
ber l, 1868. The monthly collections of
revenue have steadily increased and for the
months of July, August, September and
October, 1853, the receipts on spirits av-
eraged 1922, ,992 %, or at the rate of So.
S75, ,907. SO per rannum, representing S4S3-
795.40. For November and December
the returns were much larger

REBEL INVASION OF THE NoRTH.-A
Washington dispatch says Gen. Hal
leck, in conversation with prominent pub
lie men, has expressed his belief that the
last grand aud desperate effort will be
made in tiie ensuing spring by the rebel:
to transfer the real fighting to Northern
soil. They cannot subsist their armies in
their vn desolated region, from all the
most fruitful parts of which slaves have
been withdrawn into the interior Cotton
etates. l. is difficult to determine wheth-
er their new campaign will be due north
into Pennsylvania again, or across Ken
tucky into Ohio, using Longstreet's pres
ent position as base of operations. All
the secret advices received at the War
Department show that Peter-the- Her
NIT crusade against the North is now be-
ing preached throughout the Confederacy,
and that they a.e conscripting into the
ranks with ruthless violence everything
human that is able to bear arms.

SENATOR CowAN's RECENT VoTE. -
Speaking of Mr.. Cowan's recent vote on
Mr.. Summers resolution in the case of
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, the Phila-
delphia Eoeaing Bulletin very justly re-
marks:
Mr.. Buckalew, of this State, was of
course in the opposition but we are sur
prised to find his colleague, Mr.. Cowan,
voting with him. The course of Senator
Cowan has several times excited surprise.
He has disappointed the high hopes that
were entertained at the time of his elec-
tion, not only by his eccentricities in vo-
ting, but by his failure to show the dis
tinguished ability as a statesman and de-
batter, which his friends declared he pos
sessed. He has carried the ideas of the
Greensburg bar to Washington, and he
lets legal quibble weigh more heavily in
his mind than great political principle.
If he had done any great public service
as Senator, or had in any way acted as
worthy representative of State like
Pennsylvania in a situation like that into
which the rebellion has brought US, we
might overlook his professional propensity
to vote on technical grounds where ma
tional questions are to be decided. But
there has been no such compensatory SER
vice rendered by him, and for all praeti-
cal purposes, Mr.. Buckalew is about az
good Senator for Pennsylvania as Dir.
Cowan. But the large majority for Mr.,
Summers resolution shows that Mr.. Cow
an is harmless in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The follow.

Headquarters Military Dioisiom Of Ms
sissippi, Nashville, Jan. 29.-On the
morning Of the 25th inst, the enemy six
hundred strong, attacked our garrison Of
about one hundred, at Athens. After
two hours lighting the enemy was repulsed
and driven back. Our Toss is 20, but
that of the enemy is much greater.
On the 9th, Col. Miller had a severe
fight on this side of Florence, repulsing
the enemy. Our loss in this affair was
fifteen killed ond twenty-five wounded.

The Opening Campaign.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met at Philadelphia, on the 18th
of January last, and after attending to
some preliminary matters, appointed sub,
committee on resolutions.
The resolutions are such as might have
been expected from a committee of which
Beef Bigler," was chairman and rep
resenting, as it does, defunct party
soured by repeated defeats. As is COM
mon with conservative" resolutions, we
notice the absence of any expression that
might be construed into declaration of
decided disapprobation to the course pur-
sued by even the leaders of the rebellion.
The most they ever do in that way, is to
draw comparison between the Loyal peo-
pie of the nation, and their chosen rulers
on the one side, whom they are pleased to
call Abolitionists, and the rebels at the
South, including JEFF. Davis & Co., whom
they gently term secessionists.
When we look at the frequent and stun
ming rebukes which that cowardly party
has received at the hands of the people,
for its treachery to the Government, and
its almost unmasked sympathy with arm
ed treason, we are astonished at its fool
hardness, in again going before the peo-
pie on issues that have been already deci-
ded against it.
But they assume to believe that the last
election was carried by Military power,
and fraud on the ballot box. Shame on
them, thus seeking to evade the weight of
the verdict, which they in their very
hearts know was rendered against them.
Was it military power that beat Vallan-
digham in Ohio, over 100000?
But the most important declaration in
these resolves, is to the effect that
if the Administration at Washington, don t
get frightened at them and at once aban-
don its policy of bringing back the rebel
States by vote of its loyal citizens, in
stead of allowing their friends, the reb-
els, to participate-that then they will re-
sist the Government by all the means
that God and nature has placed in their
power" 1t is to be feared this threat
will be too much for the Administration,
brave and patriotic as it is.
Shame on any party, thus attempting to
annoy patriotic administration in its ef-
forts to save the unity of the country, but
more especially party like that which
now claims to represent the conservative
elements of the country, that cannot boast
of having the control of single State
from Maine to California. Keep cool gen.
tlemen. Remember your attempt to re-
sist the Government in New York, De-
troit, and elsewhere. Thanks to the over
ruling Providence, that sustains us, we
are not dependent upon that class of trai-
tors and fogies, for our future national life.

The Beaufort District, 8. G.,

This once opulent and productive por-
tion Of the Sea Island region Of South
Carolina, is undergoing a strange transmu-
tation Previous to the Rebellion it was
occupied by the proudest Of the aristoc-
racy of the South, whose many broad
acres were covered with thousands of those
anomalous beings who were regarded and
treated partly as men and partly as things,
and whose labor in the cultivation of sea
island cotton, the most valuable variety Of
that staple, enabled the proprietors of both
the acres and the chattles to riot in wealth
and luxury.
Now those cotton princes are poor,
homeless wanderers, made so by their own
folly and wickedness, and their magnih-
cent estates are being divided into small
lots and sold for unpaid ta.ces (not con
fiscated) under the auctioneer's hammer,
to the soldiers and sailors who wrested
them from their rehchewners, and to the
very slaves whose unrequited toll had long
been expended upon them. A new and
strange, but far better civilization has sue
ceeded the cruel bondage and barbaric
pomp of former days. On this compara-
lively small tract we see beginning, an
epitome, cf the mighty change which has
Dvspn to pass over the domain Of slavery
and cotton. Let us hope that pure
Christianity and an intelligent spirit OF
law-abiding Liberty will mark the pro-
gress of this great revolution; and that all
classes there will be lifted up together, so
that no one class shall ever have either
the will or power to get their feet upon
the necks of the others. Gazette.

greatly for the better in the program
me he set forth in his recent procla-
nation. The election for delegates
to the Convention to alter and amend

put off till April, as at first proposed.
At the instance of the Frce-State
General Committee he has ordered
that an election for Delegates to a
Convention to frame anew State Con-
stitution, as we'll as for State officers,
shall take place on Washington birth
