Governor Bradforfs s message was trans
mitted to the Legislature to-day. He says
the finances Of the State are in prosper
ious conditions. He says, in reference to
the question of emancipation: Ibelieve
to-day, es have for years, that if we had
long ago provided for gradual emsncipa-
ton of the slaves of the States we should
now be, as regards all the nstionol ele-
ments Of public prosperity, in advance Of
our present position. The products Of our
State and its natural resources are not

by slave labor.
lam satisfied the people of the States
in their moments Of calm and deliberate
reflection, long since came to the same
conclusion. When conspiring leaders st
the South lifted their hands against the
Union and pointed slavery ss the institu-
ton upon which their visionary Republic
was TO rise, they struck blow at its very
vitals in every border State under which
it has continued to languish, ard which
must inevitably result in it's ultimate des-
truction. 1t becomes us people to whom
the whole question rightfully belongs to
take immediate measures for its removal,
which should be no longer delayed than
may be required by proper respect by
those industrial pursuits with which in

Various Things.

Six FIEGERED.-Six-hngere babies are
reported, by DR.. D. J. Mcgowan, Of the
army, to be comparatively frequent among
the negroes Of Northern Virginia. Tne
doctor, from his observations, estimates
that at least one per cent. of the young
dsrkies Of that region ara born thus alb
normally "pOlydsctylOus."
WASTE IN THE ARMY.-To learn how i'm
mense is the army of the United States, il
is necessary to examine the rolls at the
Pay.nasters Office. A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, indignant at the
discoveries there made, says: "One thing
ought not, on sny pretext, to be neglected.
A peremptory stop should be put to the
further ssddling Of the country with
plethora Of officers. Wehave on the rolls,
say sn army of 700, 900 men, Of whom per-
haps half a million are, in some way or
other, in the field. Fs are paying officers
for not man less than fourteen hundred
thousand. A Colonel is popularity supposed
to command q thousand men. Our Colo
nels will hardly average 500I The same

MODERN ECONOMY OF TIME-The Scien-

been eeOnomized by the application of ma
chinery:
One man can spin more cotto1-yarn now
than four hundred men could have done in
the same time in 1869, when Arkwright,
the best cotton spinner, took his first
patent.
One man can make as much -four in q
day now, as q hundred and fifty could a
century ago.
One woman can now make as much lace
in day, as hundred women could cen

1t now requires only as many days to

CONGR EssIONAL.
WASHINGTON, January 8.
SENATE.


Mr.. Wilson reported back the joint re-
solution Of thanks to General Hooker, his
officers and men.
Mr. Sprauge reported resolutions of
thanks to General Burnside, his officers
and men.
Mr.. Smith introduced resolutions Of
thanks to General Thomas, his officers and
men.
Mr.. Wilson, Of Massachusetts, introduced
a resolution providing for the expulsion
of Senator Davis Of Kentucky, owing to
the sentiments put forth in a recent reso-
luton by the latter, which in the opinion
Of Mr.. Wilson incites the people to treason
able insurrection and rebellion. This,
stripped Of its verbisge, Mr.. Wilson said,
was the purport Of the resolution.
Mr.. Davis explained to the Senate that
the Language quoted in Mr.. Wilson'S res
olution was a gsrbled version of his own
resolution. What he (Davis) proposed
WAS that the people should rise at The
polls and take the power of this Govern
ment into their own hands. He Davis
repeated that the terms Of Wilson's resolu-
ton were against the terms o. his own
and were false in fact.
The subject was then passed over and
the Senate resumed the consideration Of
the bill in amendment Of the Enrolment
Act Debate followed on the $500 commu-
tstion clause.
Mr.. Lane Of Indiana, advocated its re-
peal.
Mr. Wilson opposed striking it out, and
believed that the country would sustain
him. He believed that the term Of service
ought 10 be reduced from three years, and
went into executive session and subse-
quently adjourned.

s0Rs Of our steadfsst friends in Englsnd,
has published reply to the misstatements
uttered during recent speech in Glasgow
by the notorious Spence, formerly rebel
agent, but now, as Professor Smith shows
by citations from the Richmond papers,
disowned by the rebels. Professor Smith
concludes his letter with the following
Pungent passage:
al see that Mr.. Spence does not dwell
much on the tariff theory Of the secession
Tbst theory has served its turn by pro7id-
ing English morality with q subterfuge
for sympsthizing with q slave power. He
new dWells more on 6 difference Of nation
ality between the North and the South.
But before he calls on the President TO
sscriEce the constitution to his ethnologi-
cal theories, he must think, make those
theories more precise. He allows, if
mistake not, that the Cansdians are Of the
same race as ourselves he says. that the
Cansdians are Of the same race as the
northerns, but he ssys that the northerns
are not of the same race as ourselves. A
good many Of the northerns can scarcely
fail to be pretty nearly Of the same race 90
ourselves, since they have but just left our
shores. The old gentleman in 'Tristram
Shsndy,' after hearing all the learned ar
gumsnts on the other side, Genes round in
his mind TO the conclusion that, after all,
the Duchess Of Suffolk must have been
some kind Of relation to her own son. Yes,
on those battle-fslds the CoVsnsnter is
once more encOlntering the Cavalier and
1 think that once more the Co7enanter will
win, and that once more he will save lib
erty from tyranny, and progress from the
worst Of all reaction. Of two great efforts
to drag the English race back into slavery
Of body and mind, one found its grave at
Msrston Moor and the other st Gettys-
burg"

sneeisl to the Post


Special to the Post:
AdVices received here show that Volun-
teering is going on rapidly. All that is
needed to avoid the draft is the continus-
tion of bounties by the Government The
Senate will probably comply with the de
sire of the President and pass the bounty
bill of the House, perhaps with some
amendments.
A Communication from the Army of the
Potomac says it will crafty by every feel
ing of humanity, and delight hundreds Of
half clad and starved citizens to learn
that an arrangement has been made and
authorized by the Treasury Department
to supply the necesssries of life to the suf-
fering families within the lines of the Po-
tomao.
Some months ago a plan was projected
and sanctioned by General Meade, pro-
Tided it was sustained by law, to effect
this object; but on reference to Washing
ton it was found to be unauthorized by ex-
isting laws regulating the trade and mill
tsry rules. Recently, however, another
plan was suggested and presented to the
Treasury Department. by which it was
sanctioned and will shortly be carried into
effect.

GENERALS STAFF OFFICERS, ETC

cOnAdentially. 1t makes a pamphlet Of
seveDty-four octave pages.
NOMINATION OF GENERALS.
During the vacancy Of Congress fifty
eight Brigsdiers were appointed, whose
names now come before the Senate for con-
frmstion. Most, if not all of them, have
been announced from time to time, as the
appointments were made. Among them
were Colonel Thomas K. Smith, 9th Ohio;
Colonel N. NJ. NOree, goth Ohio; Colonel
Walter G. Gresham, SD Indiana, and Col
Onel Robert A. Cameron, 34th Indiana.
After the meeting of Congress there
were seven vacancies still to be flled-for
these there has been an exceedingly active
contest. The result is highly creditable to
the West. The following are the men the
President has nominated:
Colonel C. G. Hsrker, 65th Ohio; Colonel
John F. Miller, 29th Indiana Colonel
Guitar, commanding 9th Ohio Colonel C.
G. Andrews, 81 Minnesota; Colonel John
Cyrus Russey, Sd lows Cavalry; Colonel
Regis De TrObrisnd, 55th New York Vol
unteers. Each of these is accompanied by
recommendations Of their commanding Of
fcers, reports, &C., on which the appoint.
ments are based.
DEATH OF OALEB B. SMITH.
The death of Caleb B. Smith gives
rise to all sorts of speculation as to his
successor. One of them is that Usher
would be appointed. 1t is said that was
what he sought when he came here first
Several other Indian1sn's are also men
toned.

EXEMPTION ASKED FOR BY THE QUAKERs.
A delegation of Quakers, representing
all their annual meetings, sppsared before
the House Military COMMITTEES to urge that
they should be exempted, both from militia
II service and from payment Of commu-
tItion. There is not much chance of their
getting it. They object to paying cOmmu-
tstiOn inasmuch as it goes to support war,
but when they were told that By a late act
ths money received from combinations
goes into the great fund Of the Treasury,
they had more difficulty in making it clear
that they should be relieved from pay
ingit.

FROM CUMBERLAND.

CUMBERLAND, January Z.
General Kelly this evening received the
following dispatch, with the exception of
MoNesls company, which is several miles
bach Of Moorefeld:
There is no force Of rebels near Peters
burgh.
The report at Moorefeld yesterday even
ing was that Fitz Hugh Lees rebel forces
had been ordered to Winchester.
The present rebel raid was a complete
failure, and was all attributed to the fact
that Early was unable to bring his artil-
lery from the valley, owing to the icy con-
dition Of the roads.
Esrly's object was to attack New Greek,
but owing to the late snow storms the
roads we're almost impossible for infantry.
