CbTIstIll as.

Before we can issue another paper, that
great festival will have passed away. And
we sincerely wish our readers merry
Christmas AMI a happy New Year. But,
notwithstanding how sincere our wish may
be, we know that too many it viii be sad
indeed There will be a vacancy AT many
n family board. The beloved lost ones
will not be there. The insatiate thirst
for blood has taken many a father, and
many a brother who used to grace the
festive board, AMI consigned them to death,
the camp, or prison, and left nothing
behind them but squalid poverty, to be-
wall their absence in a feast Of tears. To
the young and the thoughtless, the carols
of JOY will be sung as heretofore. To the
heartless shoddvitcs who are enrichIng
themselves at the expense of the blood
and the health and the happiness of their
fellow-men, cit will be glorious anniver-
cary. They say times were never as
good as at the present. The success of a
few of them, they imagine, is the success
of the whole country. They know not,
nor do they care how many their course
has deprived OF a cup of good coffee or
ration of good beef. OF turkey on this
festival But even to the unfortunate this
anniversary brings consolation that
shoddy knows nothing of 1t is the
birth day Of the Prince of Peace, who
alone can give consolation beyond worldly
wisdom, "who can temper the wind to
the shorn lamb" and who never torsakes
those that put their trust in him. Such
is the consolation that this Goddess Ad-
ministration cannot take away. They
have no lot or part in this anniversary.
They have Il chaplain now in Congress,
employed at large salary TO pray for the
members and the Government, and open
the House with prayer.
The Rev. DIR. Charming is sound on
Abolitionism, bet he denies the Divinity
of Christ, denies that He suffered for our
sins or WAS the Son of God.
That is q small matter to them, if he
is sound on the abolition of slavery.
We will not issue pape. next week,
our boys wish to keep the holy-days, as
it has been a custom always heretofore tc
do so, but we will endeayor to give you
regular news hereafter.

Remfnisccnce of Gen. Jackson.

Mr. Eiyes was 4 worshipper of Gen.
jackson. with whom he was on the most
intimate terms, as publisher Of the Globe,
then edited by Mr., Blarr, and the ac-
knowlcdged organ OF the Old Hickory.
No man was better acquainted with the
eventtul administration of General Jack
son than Mr.. Rives WAS, and l have sat
IN his Office hour after hour listening to
"reminiscences. Among these were the
attempts made II dtferent times by Mr..
Van Buren, Attorney General B. +. But
Ter, and others, 10 tone down and modify
Jackson's messages and proclamatiUns.
on one Occasion-it was III the message
OF December Sih, 1885, on the French
ndemn;ty-Gen jackson had written:
Ihe honor of my country shall never
be stained by an apology by me for the
statement Of truth and the performance
OF duty nor can give any explanation
OF my official acts, except such as is due
To integrity and justice, and consistent
with the principles on which our insiitu-
'oi's nave been framed"
L was waiting for the Globes copy oI
The message" said Mr. Rives, chatting
with the General, who was smoking hi:
plpe' when Major Donelson, his private
secretary, came in, and read the page ol
more OF manuscript which the Cabine
had substituted for this sentence.
" 1t was late on Sunday night, an'
congress was to meet the next morning
When MAYOR Donelson read the substi
tuted sentence, the General said Nov
read that again 1t was read secon'
time, and he then rose, and paced th
floor, stopped and said Strike all tha
out, sir, and put what l wrote. That
what meant, and, by Cd, that's wha
my message shall say" The alteration
were made, and have the original cop
to show that this was SO. "The word

After he graduated, he moved TO Wash

and studied law under the direction OF the
celebrated William Writ. From thence
he moved TO Cincinnati and entered vi9or-

reputation during his close practice was
gained in defending James &. Birney. a
well-known Abolitionist for harboring a

The Military Situation.

We resume to-day. our sketches of the
6 military situation," suspended during
the recent Presidential canvas, because
that contest seemed to have superseded,
in the public mind, the events end move
ments of our armies. The war news, as
1t comes TO the press, is so vague that, rs
well as unreliable, that it is at all times
difficult 10 get at the exact truth yet
sharp cautious and candid observer may
manage TO gain more intelligent and cor
rect view of what is transpiring in the
field than the general multitude, whose
whole knowledge is derived from a con-
fused mass of partial conflicting, and
oftentimes positively false dispatches.
The interest of the war is centercd just
now in the operations u Sherman before
Savannah, and those of Thomas at Nash
vile. AS regards the former, the news
| thus tar received is by no means distinct
or positive though it has been assumed by
portion Of the press that Savannah has
fallen No intelligence has reached US
warrantlng such a conclusion. The re-
| ported firing OF a salute by Dahlgrcn's
| fleet and the running up OF fags, may
| have signitied no more than that Sherman's :
! army, or a part of it, had effected com
! munlcatlon with the cooperative naval
| force OF the Georgia coast. This, we be-
lieve, is all that had taken place at the
time of which we are speaking What
| has been done since is altogether matter
for speculation. Sherman, reinforced by
the navy. possessed of Il new base of sup
plies, and having tue way open for retreat
in any desperate extremity, may either
lay siege 10 Savannah, or attempt 10 carry
it, in spite of its triple line of defences by
storm. In either case, the chances OF
success would seem 10 be in his favor, un-
less the Confederate strength is more near
ly equal TO ours than il probably is. On
the whole, therefore, the public may look
for news OF the capture of Savannah
though it is still possible that events may
disappoint the calculation The taking o.
an earthwork called Fort NJ 'Ail>ter gives
Sherman command of the mouth Of the
Ogcechce river, and secures communica
ton with the Union fleet
General Thomas, in dispatch to thC
War Department claims brilliant vic
the capture of many prisoners, including
IS several officers of hi IN rank, together
{ with a considerable number of wagons
c artillery, and small arms, the Confederate
u lines are said to have been broken anc
: driven back at all points. That there WA
i a severely contested fight appears proba
Il bc, and that thomas had the best of i
|, |, at last advices may also be conceded. Blu
Il it is not So clear that the Success won by
/ our arms was conclusive. Hood is repre-
scntcd. in one dispatch, 10 have shiiiec

II fighting, and if he were in condition t
p make a stand on fh. defensive he may b.
IL strong enough TO turn the tide of batt
I. in his own favor, and again assume al

" troops. The next reports from that omar
q ter, therefore, will be anXiously awaited

A sad ErHEGGY.

On one day last week, or rather at
night, sad tragedy occurred on the bor
derS of our county. We believe in Knox
township, Clearfield county. a man by the
name of Thomas Albums, who had been
raised in this county and moved away to
that locality a few years ago, seemed TO
be amcnable to military law, for not re-
porting or descrtion, or some other offence
of the kind OF which we are not advised.
There WAS a dance going on, at
Adams house. Some eight or ten
soldiers came to arrest him, he shot the
first man dead on the spot, and was about
TO make his escape by knocking off the
Notwithstanding But there were three
balls put into him before he got any dis
tance. lie then asked Il EN- to carry him
to the house and shortly afterwards ex-
pired. Our informant had been in the
ne ghborhood and saw the dead bodies
of both. Truly, men must have an awful
reluctance to 60 into the army, when they
resort to means so fatal and desperate.

Curious ILLUSTRATION or RED TAPE
About fifteen years ago. It happened, IN Il
certain country Of Europe, that the lnspec-
tor-General Of gar!isons, while visiting
provincial town. observed sentinel station
ed at little distance, outside the garrison
keeping guard over some ruined buildings IN
II suburbs The General inquired Of the
sentinel, with some curiosity, WHY he wls
posted there. The sentinel referred him TO
his sergeant. The sergeant had nothing 70
say but that such was the orders Of his Lieu
tenant. The Lieutenant justified himself
under the authority Of the Captain-c
ant of the garrison. Upon being applied TO
for his reasons for the standing order IN
question. the commandment informed the In
spcctor- General, with much seriousness,
that his predecessor in Office had handed
down the custom to him as one Of the mill
tary duties Of the place. A search was I'M
mediately instituted in the archives OF the
municipality, the result Of which Was 70 OBJ
tain satisfactory proof that, for the last seven
ty years, sentinel had always stood over
the ruined buildings in the same manner
With awakened interest and curiosity, the
General returned to the capital. lie there
set on foot a more elaborate Investigation
among the State documents OF the Minister
Of War. After a long delay il was a: Inst
discovered that the ruined buildings Of the
Faubors had been, in l720, . s;nreho"se ioT
mattresses belonging to the Ion, ana
that in the course Of that summer It "sG BE-
come necessary to rcpaint the door. While
the paint was wet, a guard was paced on
the outside TO warn those who went in and
out; but, before the paint was dry, Ii came
to pass that the officer on duty was Dispatch
ed on a mission Of importance, and left the
town without remembering 10 remove the
sentinel. For a hundred and thirty years a
guard Of honor had consequently. remained
over the boor-a sacred and lnyiola6!e ira
di,ion, but one which represented at bottom
no higher idea than the idea Of wet paint
