The rebels are gone and Washington is

of the administration, for 1t had none; not
to the number of its defenders, for they

by assault. The safety of the national

QUA PoRcEs IA zee oITY.

There was until the evening of Monday,
July IL, in the city of Washington, scarce.
ly a regiment of soldiers upon whom the
least dependence could be placed. True,
there were "the militia" certain number
of "huudred days men," body of con.
valescents gathered from the hospitals,
force of workmen, from the navy yard, and
a number of men from the Quartermaster's
Department. Opposed to these were some
of the best disciplined of Lees veteran
enthusiastically not less than twenty
Eve thousand. On Monday evening, the
advance guard OF the 9th corps arrived,
and Immediately story was carefully and
generally circulated that the whole corps
was behind the defences of Washington.
OF course this report, as was intended, i'm
mediately reached the ears of the rebel
spies and sympathizers within our lines,
and was by them speedily transmitted to
the besiegers without. The result of this,
the only piece of strategy shown by the
federal authorities during the continuance
of this raid, was to cause the rebel army TO
break up its camps and begin its retreat on
the night OF Tuesday.

Either on Saturday, Sunday or Monday,
the rebels could have carried by assault
any one of the earthworks or forts in their
front. Had they captured any one of these
they would have had the key of Washing
ton in their hands, and the city would
have been at their mercy. The forts in
the chain of Notifications which guard
Washintiton at the point menaced by the
enemy are situated at sIch distance from
each other, that were one of these in rebel
possession, the whole circle would be
broken, and wide portal held open to
the entrance of the besiegiug host. Moth
ing then could have saved Washington.
Once inside the Notifications, of course
the city would be in the hands of the in
Vader.
EFFECTS OF TIE CAPTURE OF WASHINGTON.
Does the country realize the conse-
quences which would have followed the
capture of Washington? The rebels once
ensconced behind it's defences, General Lee
would have Immediately detached at least
fifty thousand men from his army to the
assistance of the occupying force. There
were in Washington, at the time of its
peril, rations by economy in the use of
which an army of eighty thousand men
cenld be fed Tor several months. But the
'arny of occupation" would not be COM
pulled to depend alone upon food within
the walls for subsistence. Their cavalry
could ravage the country for fifty miles
around, and thus obtain large supplies of
cattle. provisions and forage. It is be.
lieved that for twelve mouths, at least,
could they have sustained themselves in
Washington. even if they were dislodged
at the expiration of that time. This is
food sufficient, one would think, for the
d. Is. 80

A beautiful Similc.

Hon. VIM. b. Reed, Of Philadelphia, re-
Gently concluded an address in that city
by saving that he had attempted to keep
his mind and the minds of his audience
away from the terrible events which, as a
nation, were crowding upon us; but he felt
like one that walks on Vesuvius and sees
along its entire height, cleaning through
crevices, the burning lava, and does not
know ut what instant it will burst forth and
swallow him up. There was fable, which
he had read, of an old man who, walking
one day in a peaceful valley, was startled
by prophetic voice which told him that
at the end of thirty days there would be
three full days and three dark nights of
rain upon the earth. That every one upon
whom the rain fall would become mad, as
would also their children. The voice told
the old man to hide himself in cave for
the space of three days of rain. and at
the end thereof he could again visit his
former abode. AT the end of the thirty
days, the old man, following the prophetic
voice, entered the cave and remained there
the length of time in which the rain by
prophecy, was to fall. At the end of that
time he came out and entered his accus-
toned habtation; but what change had
come over the land. He saw brother slay
ing brother, and friend driving dagger
deep into the back of friend. The voice
of Christianity was raised in eulogy of these
dreadful crimes. And as the old man look
ed upon them in wonder and in pity, he
was looked upon with suspicion. He was
threatened with the prison-house and with
death. In despair he, too, plunged into
the waters which had covered them all. say
ing, in world of madness it is better to be
mad than to be wise. The speaker said such
is the fable, and the audience could make
their comparisons.

We do not suppose there is a "really,
truly, radically l0yaw man In the country
who does not look upon George II. Pendle-
ton as a traitor. Folios have been written
and hundreds of speeches made to prove
him so. We never believed him that, and
in our incredulity have sometimes doubted
the sincerity of many who professed that
they did. Be that as 1t may, what do our
readers think of the following dispatch,
which we find in a'Chicago newspaper?
'sCINcINNATI Dec. Last evening a
fashionable party was given by Hon. Geo,
Ii. Pendlcton at his house. Between 800
and 600 guests were in attendance, of all
parties, including Gen. Hooker and Mr.
Chase"
From the fact of such acknowledged
Union men as either General Hooker and
ex-Secretary Chase being at Mr.. Pendle-
tons party, we conclude that etiquette
makes distinction between what people
say and what they think, or that a person
may be exceedingly dangerous as an enemy
of the country, and yet be marvellous
proper man with whom to indulge in cor
dial social intercourse. There has been
some suggestion made that loyalists and
disloyalists can not live together, but
"Fighting Joe" and ''Old Greenbacks" are
evidently unbelievers in this doctrine Of
isolation.
Seriously, for our part we are glad to see
such signs of pacific relations between men
of different political parties. They DO
good by toning down partisan harshness'
which too often runs into personal bitter
ness. Their example is good, too. for mutual
amenities teach that there are others In the
world besides ourselves, and that all the re-
spectabilty or the patriotism is not con-
fined to our own accustomed circles. MT
Pendleton was sensible to invite to his
house representative men opposed to him
i'm politics, and they in turn showed excel
lent sense in going-St. Louis Republican.

a The New York Times Of Tuesday devotes
an editorial to 'sthe objects, of SHERMAN's
Invasion, "and confesses that The Times Is
not Of those who expected vast advantages
from Gen. SHERMAN's advance through
Georgia, viewed merely as a raid. 1t con-
fesses, what must all along have been ap-
parent to all who will give to our military
affairs rational consideration, that "a de-
stiuctive invasion of this kind creates a
vast number of new enemies" that every
man robbed and stripped by the tempest OF
destruction now sweeping through Georgia,
is henceforth hundredfold more bitter
hater of the North and the Union than ever
before; that "all doubtful and lukewarm
Southerners In that State have undoubted-
ly become now intense Secessionists." The
aim of SHERMAN it thinks is the estab-
lishment of new base on the Georgia
coast, and that il he shall succeed il
will enable him to assist GRANT in
placing LEE in even worse position than
was CoRNwALLIs at Yorktown. But yet il
comedies that if HOOP should break through
into East Tennessee, there would be new
link of communication formed between the
Eastern and Western sections Of the Con-
federacy. HOOD bids fair to do this very
thing, and If success shall attend his ef-
forts, the only thing that will have resulted
from SHERMAN's march through Georgia
will have been the conversion of ''all doubt
full and lukewarm Southerners in that State'
into ''intense secessionists." Inasmuch as
we have the ability to prosecute the wal
indefinitely, we presume this fact will be
received by the public with indifference.

FRIDAY MORNING, ~ DEC. Q:
Reorganization of the Democratic
49, ADnv-nV q

We notice that in some quarters the or
ganization of the Democratic party is not
satisfactory to some of its avowed adhe-
rents, and, therefore, they recommend re-
organization, with new officers aud an en-
blazonment of new principles upon its ban
ners. BY implication. it is claimed that a
reorganization of the party on such basis
will give the control of three or four State
Governments to State Right Democrats,
and that then "the principles of self-gov-
eminent would be rescued from monarchical
government"
Z, It seems to us that all the Democratic
party Is In need of at this time is votes. It
may be possible that in SO large an organi-
zation as the Democratic party-a party
that at the late Presidential election polled
on the home vote alone in the State
of Ohio 1851 votes = 26s7S more than
were pollcd for PIERCE in 1S52-24, ,937 more
than were polled for BUCHANAN in 1856
$500 more than were polled for DOUGLAS
in 186O-there may be men who are not ex-
actly perfect, and men whose judgments
therefore, do not harmonize fully. This,
however, can be accepted as true, that had
the Democratic party succeeded at the late
State and Presidential elections, ''the liber-
ties OF the people, and the principles of self
government would be maintained to the
utmost. Numerically, the Democratic party
came out of the late Presidential contest
ION the home vote) $500 stronger than four
years ago, while LINCOLN came out 7,SO1
weaker. This circum stance should furnish
cause for congratulation, and every effort
should be made to add to this numerical
strength of the party, instead of creating
dissensions in it.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-12-09
CouIdn,t Deny Il.

"A few days ago, we heard afinely dressed
gentleman say to an old man who evidently
works hard every day, that the Democratic
party Is dead, and will never more be
known IN the politics Of the country. The
old gentleman controverted the assertion,
and then declared that If DOUGLAS had been
elected President in 1860 instead ofLINcoLN,
our taxes would be now counted by mills
instead Of by dollars. The Administrations
did not undertake to deny his declaration.
Il Is 90 unquestionable that he couldn't.

A Specimen Brick.

Under the above heading, The N. Y. Eve
ming Post, a leading Administration paper,
writes the following admirable editorial:
When we spoke, yesterday, of the foolish
ness, and worse, of the great mass OF mat
ter printed in the journals of this city I'M
der the head of "Washington Dispatches"
we did not think the telegraph would so
quickly bring us the admirable specimen OF
what may be called electric balderdash,
which appears in the morning papers, as
the effort of a western agent of the Asso-
ciated Press.
We allude to dispatch from Louisville,
touching the prospect of the campaign in
Tennessee. A part of this production gives
important information, which we hope VIII
prove to be correct. 1t asserts, namely that
General Thomas holds line from Nashville
toward and TO Murfreesboro, and that he
will draw reinforcements from Chattanooga.
But the remainder of it, and the greater
part of it, conveys what the agent probably
thought to be opinions, but which are In
fact only sentiments, and very foolish ones
at that-a kind of stuff of which we cannot
even say that it is important If true"-for
It has no possible or conceivale Importance.
We are assured by telegraph, that ''our
troops are brave and Gen. Thomas is an
able commandern We are further told
that ''General Thomas has altered his plans.
and will either capture or annihilate the
rebel army What did he intend to do
with 1t before he changed his plans? Again,
s'the rebel General Is pressing blindly for
ward.n That is bad for the rebel General,
for he will be pretty sure to run his head
against something hard. But how does the
telegrapher know? Once more he says, ''we
will not tremble for the result, but will feel
strong and hopeful for the cause, and con-
fidently look for victory to perch upon our
banners" That is cheerful-but couldn't
he have sent it by mail just as well?
Finally, he says: ave predict that the
rebel arms will meet with terrible disas-
teri Just here we desire to say word.
To predict is not the business OF q tele-
grapher; nor can it answer any good pur-
pose to send over the wires the predictions
or speculations Of others. His business is
to give information; .'facts, not faneies," |"
ought to be his motto; and news collectors
NAV be sure that If they make shorter dis
patches by rigid adherence to this theory,
they will be the better liked by the public,
which Is not an ass, the general opinion Of
newspaper managers to the contrary not
withstanding. ol. r..s

The Cause of the Advance I'm Gold.

Mr.. BLAINE in the lower House of Con-
gress, on Wednesday, claimed that the rap
i'd advance in the price Of gold was attribu-
table to the introduction of Mr.. STEVENS
bill designed to prevent speculation in gold.
The New York Posts money article of the
same date puts an entirely different face
upon the matter. Itattrihutes ito the fact,
that Secretary FEssESDEN's report present.
ed to Congress on the preceding day, is
regarded as favoring the further issue Of
currency. The most effectual way to run
down the price of gold, and to keep ii
down, is to diminish the circulation OF
what is termed paper money.
