PHILADELPHIA, December 3Oth, 1868.
As the holidays are past, and new year
is just dawGing, people are beginning to
prepare for another years business. As
holiday, the first day Of the year is Of little
account. Everything is centcrcd in Christ
mas and everybody seems to think should
lc celebrated in some Eay. While many
good people go to church. and behave them
selves as christians and good citizens should
do, quite large number, have an idea that
drinking cgg-nog and other potations which
contain more spirit, if not more head d.achc,
is more agreeable il not more crcditab!e.-
! never before saw so many drunken men
in Philadelphia as did on Christmas day.
], was, in some respects, drunken carnival
or BachanaIian reyciry, and can hardly
think the quiet and more orderly, If not
the more respectable portion OF The citizens
could participate or find any pleasure iii
festivities observed in this manner
The nomination of Gen. Mcclellan by .
few party leaders and some of these scarcely
known out of the city, is looked upon here,
US :hc smallest tizzle of grand scheme,
that ever came Of, in tins city Of selfish,
;r not wonderful patriots. There are q
number Of aSpirants for the Presidency
Among them, the most prominent are Mr..
Lincoln. Secretary Chase, Gen. Banks, Gen.
Butler, Gen. Grant and Others. There Is no
doubt but that President Lincoln has the
inside track. All conccdc to him honesty
of purpose anl disposition to do what
Is right. These are important qualities
in man occupying such a position and
give him great weight among the masses
Secretary Chase has proved himself a man
OF rare ability in the management Of ouI
financial affairs. Gen. Banks possesses
perhaps, more administrative talent than
any OF Cur leading men, but the impression
Is, that he is "biding his time and will
10: make any serious effort. Gen. Butler
will. no doubt, act in a sensible manner
What Gen. Grant will do, remains to ,,
seen. II he puts himself into the hands o
un.crupulous politicians, as Gen. Mcclellan
did, he may share the same fate.

dying. There are many anxious ospir0nts
TO fill that high and responsible Office
There is one consolation, that it will lie file
ty T. loyal Union man.

which took place on the morning OF the
10th, at Tunbridge, England. King won in
twenty-five rounds, the fight having lasted
thirty-one minutes.
The London Times deyotes leader to the
affair, and also publishes graphic special
account. Ii cditorially says

~" SoyTH AND NoRIH.-A reluctant
admission is made by the correspondent Of
the London Times at Richmond, that it is
dangerous and difficult work 10 attempt tp
run the blockade Of the rebel ports; and Of
course this admission implies greater distress
and scarcity alaong the Southern people
Another correspondent, who was with the
rebel army under Bragg, admits also that
"A crisis Is approaching to test the South"
He also 1--WE quote from the telcgraphic re-
porO pays high tribute to the magnili-
ccnce Of Northern faith and sclfrcliauce, as
contrastcl with the lukcwaymncss of the
Southern masses" So, an English observer
among the Southern people admit that they
are lukcwarm. This is a different state OF
affairs from what is reported by the Rich
mond editors, but we doubt not that it i:
! the true one. The rebellion is on its las
/ legs, and another campaign will utterly
/ qucl It. Let the new call for troops b,
promptly complied with, 50 that the ncy
campaign may be vigorous, short and dcci
sive. The North has ample resources an,
unlai.iug zeal and faith. Let these be vel
used and the South must soon succumb.

During the night the family was aroused by
the violent knocking Of parties outside,

and if not opened they would break it
down; that the officers wife had a lot OF
money, and they were bound 10 have it,.
The woman was terrified, and giving the
money to the soldier inside sccroted herself
and her children, when the soldier eXclaim-
