The New York EseninE. Post and
Democratic Principles.

The New York Erening Post has long
maintained reputation for sagacity, fore
sight, and comprehensivenes in it's treat
ment Of political affairs Originally a
Democratic paper, holding to the cardinal
principles of the Democracy in matters OF
political economy and constitutional inter-
probation, it has lent its aid to the Repub-
ican organization upon the question OF
negro emancipation. The Post now an
nounces that the Republican party was Or
ganized for the special purpose of compile
ting the overthrow of slavery; that with
the passage of the constitutional amend
ment this purpose was substantially
achieved, and the party having thus real-
lied the object of its founders, stands dis
solved, and must naturally disintegrate
into the elements of which it was origin
ally composed. Having thue formally
announced the dissolution of the Republi-
can party, the Post once more filings out the
banner of Democracy inscribed with the
principle of free trade. The Democratic
party welcomes back into its bosom, what
it has ever regarded as the ablest exponent
of free trade principles the country has
produced, and congratulates the Post on
the evidence of foresight it exhibits in
this renewing its fidelity to principles
which it has never abandoned, and which
are necessary to the full and free develop
ment of our national resources. " .5
The Post recognizes in our present Con-
gress revival of the old Wing doctrines
in regard to high protective tariff and CEN
tralized banking privileges, principles
which have been formally denounced at
the ballot box by the American people in
the successive election of Democratic
Presidents, and which are now being re-
vived as psrt and parcel Of our govern
ment policy in an indirect manner by
means of the opportunities afforded by the
exigencies of a civil war. The Demo-
cratic party has again got to fight over
the old battles of free trade against pro-
hibitory tariffs, of individual banking
privileges against a national monopoly,
and of strict Interpretation of the Con-
stitution against loose and dangerous
system of construction. In this great
work, We recognize the Post as one of the
authorized leaders of the standard prin-
ciples of the Democracy. .a..i .''

Credits Allowed.

The following dispatch shows that the
government will cut down our enrolment
on "the nect call" from 81 900 to 16, 900 ;
in other words, that we must furnish nearly
1000 more men than justice requires un-
der the present call, and will have them
credited on the next. 1t seems to be adj
United that We are to have more calls:
, III WASHINGTON, Feb. %.
To Hon. Stephen Miller: ..
The President orders our claims allowed,
but the credit will only be given on next CALL
We must fill the quota now assessed on the
enrolment of p, 900, but the number thus fur.
nished in excess of what our quota would be

S AIN A q L
Ignatius Donneny on Reconstruction.

During the last Congressional canvass In
the Second District, we opposed the cleo
ton of IGNArIUs DaNNKLLY on the ground
of his general unftness for the position of
a representative. We deemed his political
opinions unsound, but our greatest objec-
ton was predicated on a knowledge of his
utter lack of practical business capacity,
aud all his speeches and votes during the
present session have justified our estimate
of his character. There has not been 8
single foolish and impracticable measure
before the body of which he is a member,
whether relating to finances or anything
else, that he has opposed. On the con-
trary, his vote has uniformly been record
ed in favor of the most obnoxious measures
of the widest theorists. His vote for THAD.
STEVENS bill to make the sale of gold
penal offence is sufficient to stamp him an
ignoramus in finance. The latest exhibl-
ton of his want of judgment, is found In
his vote on the bill to provide govern
ment for the rebellious States, the same
in substance as that which received the veto
of the President at the last session. The
bill was advocated by the extreme radicals,
and opposed by the best men OF both po-
litical parties, and as natural consequence
we find DoNNELLY's vote recorded in favor
of its passage. 1t was based on the radi-
cal theory of holding the States of the
South as subjugated provinces for all time,
to be lorded over by thousands of petty Of
fcers, whose presence would darken the
heavens like the locusts of Egypt; it pro-
posed to levy taxes to the precise amount
to which the Southern people were liable
from the last year before they went into
the rebellion; and, generally, to extin-
guish the last yestige of hope for re-
stored Unien, based on the consent of the
governed. The bill was defeated by a
large majority. .......... ... ....

Preparations to Evacuate Richmond

For the last six months we have had
almost daily rumors OF the intention Of
the Confederate government to evacuate
Richmond, but not until now has there
been any evidence that such a measure
was seriously contemplated. The dis
patches clearly show that some move
ments have been made which have created
a great panic in the rebel capital, although
the Sentinel DAVIS organ) says they were
purely precautionary" The opposition
papers discuss the effect of the abandon
ment of Richmond in strain that leads
to the superstition that it had been deter
mined on and was in process of execution.
They say, and we think truly, that it would
lead to an abandonment of the scheme for
an independent Southern Oonfederacy
that the army would dwindle in numbers,
and, moving westward, would become the
mere body-guard of the fleeing officials;
that the rebel cause would sink
into mere rebellion in the estimation of
foreign powers; and that the North would
be free to treat the rebel officers and SOL
diers as traitors and criminals. An evil
dence of the panic prevailing in Richmond
may be found in the statement that since
SHERMAN has cut off the lines of congress
sional retreat west and south, the rebel
senators and representatives have one by
one fed the capital, so that less than a
quorum is now left. There is hint that
DAVIS may initiate their example. Rich
mond is the head and heart of the rebel
lion, and when we hear the rebels speak OF
giving it up, the conclusion is forced upon
US that they are very hard pressed.

Extract OF a Private Letter on Pc.
litical Matters from Hon. John
b. Brisbin. ..,

We are permitted to publish the follow
ing extracts of letter from Hon. JOHN
B. BR1sBIN to friend in this city. He
writes from Schuylersville, New York, and
will return home in a few weeks. Speak
ing of the late peace negotiations, he
says: $50
The only gamers (if gain there can be from
80 shallow farce) are the South. The grave,
authoritative announcement that we are un-
willing to treat except upon the condition of
surrender, unites the enemy. Lin
coin advances terms which mean unconditional
submission; to use his own language, mo re-
ceding from his last annual message and the
documents preceding it," i. e., emancipation,
coniscation, ct I'd omne genus. He only yielded
so far as to hint at possible mercy to the offend
ers. Here, of course. was an end to serious
discussion. 1t was no more than o repetition
of his Ito whom it may concern" &.
You will also remark q significant negative
in his message to Congress on the subject He
is o pettifogger and designed it to be what we
lawyers call negative pregnant" He says
substantially that they (Stevens ct al did not
say that they ,sould treat upon the basis Of Union
nor did they state that they rould counsel negotia.
tons upon such basis. He dared not say that
they denounced contrary determination
which is of itself significant After Mr.. Lin
coins adrmce terms it was almost strange they
did not so affirm. 1t was simply courteous
forbearance, and that is all. The southern
people are neither Patagonians, nor "War
Democratic, nor yet Digger Indians and Meth
er dirt, nor grasshopper legs are sufficient pa.
bufnm.
Abiding to the republicans he says:
The future win set US even with these inef-
fable miscreants and trifiers. The punishment
awarded to the hypocrites of hell in Dantes
Inferno was to place an iron cowl upon their
heads and contract it until the eyeballs pro-
truded. Let the cowl go on and let the pres
sure begin. These subjects must hare rigorous,
a0arlike and defiant discussion The mealy moulin
era has passed. Dr.Sangrado with his invaria-
bic warm water and blood-letting only reduces
the patient The disease is in the blood, and
nothing but caustic and mercury will treat the
case conclusively. s.' -.
On the unconstitutional amendment
abolishing slavery he says:
observe that "loyal " Minnesota has rati-
fed the constitutional amendment so called.
OF all the devices which the architects of ruin
have schemed to procrastinate the day of peace,
! this is the consummate flower" 1t
is foolish to discuss the question of power
when the question of policy at this juncrure
is so paramount. If the power does reside in
Congressit has not been reserved to the States;
and we have the strange result that slavery
has never been abolished in any of the States
because it follows that it could not be done by
State action. 1t is no less fanatical tnan the
proclamation, because it cannot be ratified I'M.
till the South is suhjugated and coerced to
ratify at the point of the bayonet and this
was the object of its passage of course.

Ch arlestOn.

The Tribune has the following extrac
from the Christian Examiner of the 22d !:
1t is not Charleston but the empty and ruined
shell of the city, that the enemy found lying
with its doors open, and entered without OPP
position, after burning more powder, throw
ing more weights of iron, ball and shell, than
ever was expended in any siege since the world
began, and all in vain. At length finding the
back door of the place, left purpoeely open,
they slip in, and straightway the whole north
ern people sing TIE Deum over the reduction
of the hot bed of secession, they find there a
few Jews, some Telegraph operators who are
Yankees. and wilderness of shattered and
tenantless stone and lime,-not Charleston,
but the abandoned Hull of Charleston. The
soul and spirit of that heroic city lives STILL but
hot in those ruins; it is in the field with Gen;
Lee and Gen. Beauregard, where the hot-bed
of secession yet blooms with vigorous branch.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L. L. BAXTER, of
the First Regiment of Heavy Artillery,
left Friday morning to join his regiment at
Chattanooga. During the session of the
Legislature, now nearly at its close, he has
discharged his duties as State Senator with
credit to himself and bis constituents. He
has never taken up valuable time with un-
necessary speeches, but has devoted his
best efforts to the interests of the State.
He is an experienced soldier, and cannot
fail to win the regard of his new command:
The best wishes of hosts OF friends will
follow him to the field of duty.

the Laws, General and Special, passed at
the late session of the legislature, which

two acts, passed just at the close of the
session, and therefore they will not become

A reference to the accompanying tables will
show two principal features marking the past
month, 1.-The moderate temperature, and the
amount of moisture deposited. The former
was hardly desirable, for it brought with it
rain, and dampness and cloudiness. The latter
was most acceptable, exceeding in amount the
precipitation of any February for seven, and
probably for q larger number of years. 1t is
understood that the amount of snow falling to
the north and west of this point is much in
excess of that with which we have been IA
vored and the prospects of fair stage of wa
ter, for at least portion of the coming season,
are very promising. The amount Of moisture
deposited for the two months Of the present
year is already in excess of the corresponding
months of 1864 by more than two inches. And
as the tendency to precipitation has COM
menced thus early, it seems an earnest of its
continuance.
1t is generally believed that the past has been
an unusually mild winter. This Is so to a GER
tain extent. But it will be seen below that
both of its immediate predecessors were mild
er. The true explanation appears to be that
the extremes of temperature, were much
nearer to each other both in January and Feb
ruary. '7'
