Increase of Pay for Officers I'm the
Army.

ARMY
Officers in the army, in consequence OF
the depreciation Of the currency, feel that
their pay is inadequate; and, therefore,
Major Gen. WEITzEI, and four hundred
and seventy other officers Of the 18th Army
Corps, have p,titioned Congress to grant
them an increase of pay. Mr.. WILSON pre-
sented the petition to the Senate, and, In
few remarks, made it apparent that such
increase was necessary; but the condition of
the Treasury he pronounced such as to
make it difficult to increase the pay of these
officers. The resolution was referred to the
committee ON Military Affairs for serious
consideration. t .lr
1t is, undoubtedly, true that the officers
in the Army need an increase of pay; but
an increase in their pay is not so urgent
not so much demanded by justice-as is
an increase in the pay of the privates. In
the present condition of the currency the
pay of the latter is too insignificant; but,
notwithstanding that the majority of the
people, as Administration politicians in
sist, voted for double taxation, they will be
turned away with the answer that the con-
dition of the Treasury is such that the just
ly demanded increase can not be made.
Why is the Treasury In this condition ?
Why is it that we cannot pay our officers
and soldiers and marines something ap-
proximating just compensation? IT. as
we are told by Administration politicians
and by preachers from their pulpits,
the prosperity of the country is greater
than ever before, and If our people have
riches virtually thrust upon them, there is
no excuse for the Treasury to be in such
condition that we cannot make our officers,
soldiers and marines feel comfortable. Why
should our people who stay at home flourish
luxuriantly, while soldiers and their fami-
lies are allowed to feel humillated by rea-
son of not being adequately and promptly
paid? The soldier, as well as the "laborer,
is worthy of his hire"
AS there may have been some doubt be-
fore the Presidential election, as to the ac-
tual prosperity of the country, there may
have been some extenuating excuse for the
condition ofthe Treasury to be such as not to
admit of an increase in the pay of the SOL
diers, officers and marines; but as the re-
suit of that election has rendered it un-
questionable, that our people are growing |
rich at rapid rate, the Treasury need no
longer continue in an ungratifying condi-
ton.
The increase of pay to officers, soldiers
and marines, will necessarily augment our
expenditures, and according to the logic of
the Presidents Message, the more we in
crease the public debt, the more we increase
the substantial national property. OF
course, substantial national property adds
to the actual wealth of the nation. Can
we, therefore, have too much substantial
national property.

gherman's Battle I'm Front of Sa-
lssi yannah.

.
The New York World has given to the
public an account of battle fought be-
stwcen SHERMAN and the Rebels in front OF
<Sayannah on last Saturday, in which SHER-
MANS loss was 2, 800, ana tho Rehel loss be-
stween three and four thousand, among
swhom were fully 1,20O prisoners. SHEER
IMAM captured colors, cannon, small arms,
wagons and caissons. This account was Civ
ZEN to the Washington special of The World
direct from sloyal resident of Richmond"
THE special says that the facts shave been
scarefully concealed by the Rebel authori-
ities." We should think SO, for the Rich
3mond papers of Monday make no mention
whatever of any such fight. They repre-
sent SHERMAN as in close proximity
to Savannah, and express the opin-
lion that a battle might be fought
lon that day. Why is it that pub
fishers of newspapers will impose upon
, their readers such sensation dispatches, and
undertake to give to them countenance as
probable? Had there been theleast ground
ifor news SO gratifying, Mr.. STANTON would
have given to the wings of the telegraph
an electrifying dispatch. We have no
doubt that SHERMAN will work through, and
as soon as the fact Of his having done SO
reaches Washington, or if the fact of his
having achieved anything OF a victory
breaches that city, Secretary STANTON will
quickly give it to the public. And this re-
mark will apply to any victory that may be
won by any of our armies.

British Rebel Sympnthizers-Le
ter of Secretary Seward.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.


The President to-day sent message to
the Senate in reply to MIR. Summers res
olution calling upon him, if not incom-
patible with the public interest, to furnish
the Senate with any information in his
possession relative to a proposition of Brit
ish subjects to give aid to the rebellion:
Lord Wharncliffe Informs Mr.. Adams
that the Liverpool Bazaar produced about
El7,000, and asksl permission for an accred-
tied agent to visit the military prisons with
in the Northern States, and distribute aid
to their inmates. He denies that any polit-
ical aid is aimed at, or any imputation that
Confederate prisoners are deprived of such
attentions as the ordinary rules enjoin. He
says: 1.-THE Issue of the great contest will
not be determined by individual suffering,
be it greater or less, and u,.whose family
name is interviewer with American history,
cannot view with indifference the suffering
of American citizens, whatever their State
and opinions" isif,.L
Mr.. Adams replies " that it has never been
the desire of the Government to treat with
unnecessary or vindictive severity any OF
the misguided individual parties in this
desperate rebellion who have fallen into its
hands in the regular course of the war, and
that he should greatly rejoice II the effects
of such sympathy could be extended to
ministering to their mental ailment as well
as their bodily sufferings, thus contributing
to put an end to a struggle which other
wise is too likely to be only procrastinated
by their English sympathizers."
Mr.. Seward replies as follows to the ap-
plication received through Mr.. Adams:

Necessity of an Opposition Party.

The Albany IN. W Erening Journal (Ad-
ministration) of recent date, devoted an
editorial TO showing the absolute necessity
for an Opposition party as IAN indispensable
condition to free State" 1t ventures the
declaration that without it, Liberty would
soon perish and Law would become the
handmaid of Tyranny" and it claims that
such an Opposition is of more Importance
in time of war than in time of peace, be-
cause ''then, more than ever, those in au-
thority need watching" Why, this is the
rankest kind of ''copperheadism."

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 8, 1864

SIR: have received your dispatch OF
the 18th of November, No. S07, together
with the papers therein mentiOned-name-
ly. a COPY of a letter which was addressed
to YOU on the 18th of November last by
Lord Wharncliffe, and copy of your an
swer to that letter. Your proceeding in
that matter sapproved. You will now in
form Lord Wharnclifle that permission for
an agent OF the committee described by him
to visit the insurgents detained in military
prisons of the United States, and to distrib-
ute among them fl7,000 of British gold, is
disallowed Here it is expected yQRr cor
respondence with Lord Wharncliffe will
end. That correspondence will necessarily
become public. On reading it the Ameri-
can people will be well aware that while the
United States have ample means for the
support of prisoners, as well as for every
other exigency of the war in which they
are engaged, the insurgents who have
blindly rushed into that condition are suf-
fering no privations that appeal for relief
to charity, either at home or abroad, and
the American people will be likely to re-
fleet that the sum thus insiduously tender
ed In the name of humanity constituted no
large portion of the profits which its
contributors may be justly supposed to
have derived from the insurgents by ex-
changing with them arms and munitions
of war for the coveted productions Of inn
moral and enervating slave labor, nor will
any portion of the American people be
disposed to regard this sum thus ostenta-
itiously offered for the relief of captured
insurgents as a too generous equivalent for
the devastation which civil ,oar, promoted
and protrdcted By British subjects, has spread
throughout States which before were en-
..a a..A L
Finally, in view of this last officious in
teryention in our domestic affairs, the Amer
icar people can hardly fail to recall the
warning of the Father Of our Country,
directed against two great and ultimately
connected public dangers-namely, sectional
faction and dforeignintrigue. | do not think
the insurgents have become debased, al
though they have sadly wandered from the
ways Of loyalty and patriotism. I think

Tinkering the. Currency.

Some Administrationists do not seem
perfectly satisfied with the currency as it
exists. They appear to think that there is
too great difference between the accepted
value of gold and silver coin and greenback
currency. By reason of this difference,
the expenses of the Administration are
very largely increased as well as the cost of
living to the people; but instead of this be-
ing an objection, it is an argument. in its
favor. We adopt the theory of the Adj
ministration politicians. The President in
his Message, and surely no one will have
the temerity to doubt his wisdom and far
reaching perception, argues that, inasmuch
as our public debt is held, ''for the most
part, by our own people, it has become
substantial branch of national, though pri-
vate property" Therefore, if this public
debt were not held, 'for the most part, by
our own people," it would not be branch
of substantial national property. Indeed,
J it would be the reverse. A home illustra-
ton will make this unmistakable. Suppose
accompany of gentlemen engaged in a GER
taid enterprise here in the city of Co.
lumbus expended daily from three to
four times more than they realized or can
realize from their enterprise, and were
constrained to 60 into the money market to
borrow means with which to pay their ex-
penditures. Now, if they succeeded in bor-
rowing those means here in the city of Co
lumbus, the evidences of their indebtedness
their promises to pay-become substan-
tial property Of the city-the city mean
while being rendered prosperous; but if
that company failed to secure the necessary
means in exchange for their evidences of in
debtedness here, and secured the accommo-
dation in Cincinnati, the substantial proper
ty of Cincinnati would be thereby increased
while the company would feel the weight
of their indebtedness more than If they had
been accommodated here in Columbus.
This is the Presidents argument touching
our public debt slightly illustrated. If the
argument is sound, it is the greatest absurd
ity imaginable for any efforts to be made
by which check shall be made to the in
crease of the public debt. Nor is 1t sound
financiering to undertake to put gold and
silver coin down to the value of greenback
currency, and to keep it, down, because Ad-
ministrationists insist that the wider the
discrepancy between the value of these ar
ticles, the more is the ability OF the people
increased to grow in prosperity and wealth.
