TIE LECTURE. larger audience than
was present should have heard the lecture
of Prof Epson at Chatham Square Church
last evening. His treatment of his sub
ject-"Ihe Glory and Shame of Actors
and Acting showed thorough knswl-
edge Of the history of the stage and the
drama Of actors and dramatis's. and
while the genius and splendid talents Of
Garrick, Siddons and Keene enlisted his
feelings and commanded his admiration,
they do not pervert his Judgment, nor
blunt the acuteness OF his moral percep-
tions. Garrick, Siddons and Keene are
his stare, bis master minds, and even the
morbid vanity that the stage engenders,
and Of which this triumvirate Of genius
are humiliating instances, could not have
been dissatisfied with the willing homage
he rendered them. But the conclusion
to which the lecturer comes, after full
survey of the drama is. that while bebe-
fetal to the actor physically and intellec-
tnally it debases him morally, while upon
the auditor the effect is to weaken the 10
tsllect and deprsyeths heart.
HARPER's MAGAzrHE-The January
number of this most popular Of the
mon.hlies is on our table. We confess to
partiality for Harper. The Atlantic il
clever, scholarly, cultured; the Continen-
tai is far from heavy, but we persist 10
deeming Harper the best of American
monthlies.
The articles and illustrations OF this
number are excellent. The 6rst article,
A Tour Through Arizona. from the pen
of J. Ross Browne, is very readable
paper. Heroic Deeds Of Heroic Men is BY
Abbott, and his mastery and graphic de.
scriptions reproduce the scenes of the
siege Of vicksburg. Our Mutual Friend,
BY Dickens, grows in interest. Arma.
dale, by Wilkie Cslins, commenced in
the December nun her, continues ia this.
and will be che marked feature Of the
present volume. The articles are al good.
We may be permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from Sberideu's Battle Of
Winchester, showing that lowa's soldier
sons are heroes all, whether on the battle
Fields Of tbs West or in the Shenandoah
valley. Noticing the confusion which

Senator Clymer's Remarks.

After tho 10th ballot, on Wednesday,
Mr.. CLYMER made the following remarks
temperate, diguified and strictly true
proposing compromise by which an or.
ganization could have been Immediately
effected, and giving the Speaker to the
Abolitionists
"lt is perfectly evident, sir, that as this
Senate is now constituted il will be i'm
possible 10 effect an organization. We
are likely to remain here at this rate till
dog days, That is neither desirable on
the score of personal convenience or pub
lilo policy. No men can hr more anxious
than the Senators with wt0m l have the
honor to act politically III bringing this
state Of affairs to some amicable conclu-
sion, We are prepared therefore, sir to
say to this Senate deliberately that for
the purpose of effecting an organisation,
and in order that the legislation Of the
State may proceed, we are willing to ten
der to the other side of this chamber as a
compromise of the difficulties existing be-
tween us, this arrangement: That they
shall select first, any Office within the gilt
of this Senate, we to select the second
they the third, and so on 10 the end of the
list We make this offer, trusting that its
fairness will commend it 10 the judgement
of this Senate, as it certainly will COM
mend itself to the judgement of the people
of this State. We are here l6 to l6 OIL
this floor. 1t is no fault Of this side OF
the chamber that such state of affairs
exists. 1t is true, if we are to believe the
organs Of the Republican party, if we are
TO believe Senators on this floor and Off
GERS of this Senate, that Major White is
no longer a member of this body, having
resigned weeks ago. If these statements
are true, that gentleman is no longer a
member of the Senate of Pennsylvania.-
And hold that it was the duty of those
who controlled the affairs Of this Senate who
were its officers, to have ordered an cleo
ton, and to have had his successor here
and if we effect no organization under
present circumstances the responsibility
must lie upon them.
"Now, sir, Tor the sake of arriving at a
just and amicable arrangement, we have
offered the proposition 1 have stated. l
trust that for the sake Of the interests OF
this State, the proposition will be accept

* S1gnInCaht Peaoe Propositfon.

A few days ago in the House OF Rep.
rssentatives, Hon. FERNANDO WooD, oi
New York, offered the following pream-
BILE and resolution, which was laid on | he
table, without debate by vote of 90 to 80
WHEREAS, the President in bis message
delivered to this House on the 9th instant
and in his recommendation to the people
TO assemble at their places Of worship and
give thanks to God for recent victories
claims that the Union cause has gained
important and substantial advantages
and whereas, in, view of these triumphs,i it il
no longer beneath our dignity, nor danger
Gus to our safety, to evincc generous
nagnanimity, becoming great and pow
ful people, by offering to the insurgents
an opportunity to return to the Unior
without imposing upon them degrading
and destructive conditions; therefore,
Resolve2, That the President be re
quested to appoint three commissioners
who shall be empowered to open negotia
tions with the authorities at Richmond, t
the end that this bloody, destructive ant
inhuman war shall cease, and the Unior
be restored upon terms OF fraternity ant
equality under the Constitution.
Every Republican member voted to lay
the resolution on the table. The vote
however is full of significance. 1t show:
that large minority of the present Con.
gress are desirous that the bloody strife
which has for more than three years par
alyzed the arm of the best government or
earth, and scattered death and destruction
all around. should cease. And the mar
who does not rejoice at this gleam of re
turning peace, in the great council of the
nation, lacks that patriotism which is ne
cessary to make good citizen.
This is but the beginning of the end
The whole country is tired of this fratrici.
dal war, and the sooner it ends-close.
honorably-the better it will be for the
nation, and the more honorable for hu
mapity.
Let the mass of tho people take the mat
ter in hand, and resolve that the mep
who are getting money, and place, and
power out of the war, shall no longer con.
troll the nation to its eternal injury
Then the men in Congress who now turr
deaf ear to all peace propositions, will
gladly listen to those who placed them il
their present positions, and consent tha

Davis Message.

The respondent tone which is said to
pervads the message of the President of
the Southern Confederacy has inflated
into exultation the hopes of many Of our
contemporaries, that there will be speedy
termination Of the war in the utter pros
tration Of the South. We confess that we
cannot reaectingly participate in these glad
some provisions. The message is to all
appearances, candid and truthful, furnish
ing in detail full account of all the dis.
asters recently incurred by the South, but
exhibiting 30 faltoring of spirit, as to the
chances of ultimate success.
In the Revolutionary war, when Wash
ington's army was reduced to the fraction
of brigade, and despair depressed the
masses in every section of the country, he
continued still hopeful, and declared, if
beaten in the open country of the plains,
he could retro into the fastness of the
mountains and still continue the contest,
Such, we conceive, the spirit exhibited in
the message of jeff Davis. Its candor and
calmness indicate, that in his opinion at
least the South is as yet unconquerable.-
This fact it intimates in conjunction with
the statement of the hopelcssnass of for
eign intervention, assistance or even sym.
pathy.
But in spite of the resolve, apparent
through the whole message, of maintaining
the conflict, VIC could indulge in hopes Of
peace and Cancellation, could the Presi-
dent here be persuaded to annul his proc
lamations Of copfscation and emancipa-
tion

The BoUNTIEs CoNTINUED.-The
House OF Representatives have passed the
joint resolution reported by the Committee
on Military Affairs, extending the pay
ment of bounties heretofore allowed vol
unteers from tho 9th of January until the
the lst of March. There is no doubt of
the Senate promptly approving the same,
and as this action has been taken upon the
recommendation of the President himself,
we may as once begin to act upon the
matter as a fixed fact, viz that all men
enlisting before lst of March will receive
the'large government bounties as heretofore.
Districts having a desire to fill up their
quotas now have an opportunity to do so.

SPECULATION OF OLD ABE.-It appears
that the President is laying something by
for rainy day, and in the pursuit of that
laudable undertaking, is using the advan-
tages of his official position. An in
stance of this has lately come to our
knowledge, that is vouched for as true. II
will be remembered that few weeks ago
he located the central route of the Pacific
Railroad in favor of Council Bluffs and
Omaha City. 1t now tnrns out that he
is quite largely interested in land specula-
tions in the latter place being the owner
Of considerable amount of land, which
the location of the road will, of course very
much enhance, and should one-half of the
expectations of the other land holders OF
the place be realized, will in the end, net
him much larger amount than he will
derive from his whole four years salary

General McClellan's Report.

In advance Of the publication Of the Re.
port Of Gen. Mcclellan Of the campaigns
on the Peninsula and in Maryland, recent.
ly made TO Congress we lay before the
readers Of the Columbia Democrat, a sy-
nopsia of it made by correspondent of the
New York Commercial advertiser. 1t con-
tains letter from Gen. Mcclellan to
President Lincoln giving his views ia rela-
tion to the proper means Of conducting the
war that will be read with deep interest
by every true patriot. His many friends
cannot but admire his bodness in speak
ing so plainly upon so important topic
at that particular juncture of public affairs.
1t exhibits him not as a military man only
but as statesman, and had his counsel
prevailed over that of the radicals, we
cannot but believe that the war would have
bsen ended long ere this. Every admirer
Of this patriotic General will feel proud OF
him after perusing this letter.

A Magnificent Scheme.

Senator Howe, Of Wisconsin, has sub
mitted joint resolution empowering the
President to call out One Million of vol
unteers, for ninety days, for the express
purpose Of marching straight through the
rebellious States, and liberating the Union
soldiers held as prisoners of war. These
troops the President is requested to place
under command of General Grant. Why
not place them under the immediate com.
mand of cold Abe" himself, or, if his du.
ties are too pressing, of General Greeley
or Governor Andrews, of Massachusetts,
Both these worthless we're going to make
the roads swarm with volunteers to crush
the rebellion, in case Lincoln would issue
an emancipation proclamation.
Itis a magnificent scheme, and looks
really as though Senator Howe was about
"taklng vigorous measures to prosecute
the war'-iato Africa. Go in gentlemen
