happy and prosperous new year to our friends
and patrons! But what contrast between the be-
ginning of this year and that of 1852! How many
thousands have died, how many have been widowed
and orphaned, and what suffering since that time !
But "while there is life there is hope" We trust
that the advent of 1866 may be attended by better
omens than we can now see. The future is in the
hands of an All-wise and ALL merciful Being. "Man
proposes, but God dsposes." Whatever may hap
pen to US We must learn to submit to His will. Ma
tions rise and fall at His command. Sinner as we
are, We feel that the universal prayer is peculiarly
appropriate to US all at this time: sour Father,
who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth, as it
is in Heaven" That Kingdom will not come amid
blood and carnage; that will may not be done &C
cording to our will. But it will be done" wheth
er we pray for it or not Let each do his or her
duty during the coming year, and leave results to
that Being who " is too wise to err, and too good
to be unknd."

THE SECRET OF ENGLAND's GREATNESS 1t was
noble and beautiful answer of our Queen says the
British Workman, that she gave to an African
prince, who sent an embassage, with costly pre-
sents and asked her in return to tell him the secret
of England's greatness and England'S glory and
our beloved Queen sent him, not the number of her
armies, not the account of her boundless merchaD-
disc, not the details of her inexhauStble wealth.
She did not like Hezekiah, in an evil hour, show
the ambassador her diamonds, and her rich orna-
ments; but handing him beautifully bound copy
of the Bible she said Tell the Prince that this is
the secret of EIglands greatness"

We observe, from correspondence published in
the South Carolina papers, between the Governor
of that State and the Secretary of War; the latter
declines to grant furoughs to officers in the army
of Northern Virginia who are members of the Leg
islature so as to enable them to perform their du-
ties as legislators To this extent therefore, the
Secretary of War has decided that the people of a
State shall not be free to elect whom they please to
represent them in their Legislature.

negro men have been hired for the coming year
for one thousand dollars, to be fed and clothed by

one thousand dollars. Slaves are bringing in mar
kNt when sold from three thousand to SIX thousand
dollars, according to age sex, health, and ap-

FANArlcIsM-The Daily Confederate ofSaturday
last says:
Regarding this struggle as one wherein religion
and religious liberty are at stake, we are shocked
whenever minister of the Gospel of Christ loses
an opportunity of setting his standard close along
side the Confederate banner, TO FLOAT OR FALL TO-
GETHER"
That is, the banner of the Prince of PeGce-the
banner of Christ-must be set "close along side"
worldly banner which has been rolled and drench-
ed in blood; and these two-the banner of Christ
and the flag of war-should float tGlI together"
Horrible If the Confederacy lives Christ shall
live, but if the Confedevacy falls Christ must fall
Horrible
The following counterpart Of the above We copy
from one of our exchanges:
TIE PIErY OF OUR ENEMIEs-It is stated that in
the late session of the Pittsburg Methodist Episco
pal Conference, after the Introductory exercises
Bishop Simpson, in some remarks, laying his hand
on the flag of the 73d Ohio regiment spoke of it,
"as some small patch of AZURE filled with stars,
that an angel had snatched from the heavenly
canopy to set the stripes in blood" All over
the vast assembly handkerchiefS and hats were
waved, and before the speaker sat down, the whole
throng arose, as by magic influence and screamed,
and shouted, and saluted, and stamped, and clapped
and wept, and laughed in wild excitement. The
Star Spanged Banner was sung, or rather shouted,
until the audience dispersed it had to disperse"

The Richmond Enquirer and the Richmond Sen
tinsE are proposing to sell out the Confederate
Ststes to foreign powers, and to abolish slavery as
condition precedent TO receiving protection at the
hands of those powers. The Sentinel utterly ig-
nores the people of the States, and says "our
thorities must do this thing if necessary, with an
iron hand, without regard to the Constitution or
the wishes of the people. North Carolina will
never submit to it. If this movement should be
seriously attempted, and if the Congress should
clothe the President with supreme power, the Leg
islature of this State WILL in our opinion, instruct
our members of Congress to return to their homes.

We have no news from Gen. Hoods army except
through federal sources. The Nashville journal of
the gath states that Hoods army was on Duck
river, near Columbia, and was crossing as rapidly
as possible, Thomas pursuing vigorously. Anoth-
er Nashville paper claims that the number of pris
oners captured from Hood, including his wound
ed found at Franklin, will reach from nine to ten
thousand, including one major general and four
brigadiers 1t seems TO be more than probable that
Gen. Hoods army has been badly cut up and well
nigh destroyed.

Masonic BAPTIsN.-A Masonic Society
in New York, called the Lodge Of Perfec.
ton, recently performed a singular cere,
mony-a sort Of imitation Of the usual
rites of Christian baptism. 1t is thu
described:
The members having entered in process.
sion, were followed by a party with si1
children, some borne on cushions and
Others led BY sponsors and ParentS-a man
following behind with the sacred triangle
of burning candles. This company made
three circles, escorted by the Lodge, the
Masens chanting praises. Then adyanc'
ing to the East, they stood before the
Grand Master. Prayer was read and
hymn was sung. The orator then nd
dressed the sponsors and children, ad.
monishing them to be true to themselves
their neighbors, their country, and theil
God. Another prayer was then repeated
A fount Of perfumed water stood before
the Grand Master. Taking each child't
hand, he immersed it in the water, repeat.
ing its name and the words, ~ wash thee
with pure water. May God give thee and
maintain thee in that innocence and purity
Of heart OF which this cleansing is a SYM
bol." He then marked or the forehead
Of each child q triangle with consecratcd
oil, and pronounced the invocation Of
blessing. A hymn was then sung; the
brethren knelt and uttered a solemn vow
to watch and protect these children through
life. Each partookof salt in confirmation
of the pledge. A locket was presented to
each Of the female children and a ring to
the boys /; also the triangle and apron. A
benediction compiled the rite.

The LnrEest Organ ever Made ON
his Continent.

Messrs. E. & G.. G. Hook, at their extern
sive mandatory in fremont street, hox-
bury, Mass, are now erecting the largest
organ ever built on this side Of the ocean. It
is intended for the church Of Henry Ward
Beecher, in Brooklyn, n. Y, and will proba.
bly, be finished and In use by the close OF
January. This splendid instrument Is to cost
$4,000. Though not so large as the Music
Hall organ, it will be more symmetrical, and
will have the additional merit, in the opinion
many, Of having been made in tho United
States. " -. ,
Several new features are TO be introduced
into the organ which have never before been
brought into use In this country, the CHIEF OF
which Is the " tuba marabiles," a reed stop OF
large scale, voiced on a very high pressure Of
wind. A gentleman who heard this range OF
pipes tried on an organ IN England says the
effect was tremendous, and that in the grand
| chorus at an oratorio It overleaped and over
powered the combined efforts Of the full organ
ana several hundred singers and instruments.
1t was beyond his power to describe. The
MesSrs. Hook have the exclusive control OF
the patent for this improvement for America.
The organ is to stand behind the pulpit,
and to occupy the whole space from the cellar
floor. to the ceiling Of the church. In the cell
lar will be the hydraulic engines which are to
work the organ on the door Of the church,
and rising to the height Of and behind the
pulpit, will be the bellows chamber ; and from
the pulpit level, forty feet upwards, will rise
the magnificent front of the instrument itself,
the massive pipes Of silver hue and the wood
work, polished black walnut. The breadth
will be q feet, and the depth q feet.

CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS AND THEIR
SLATB.-The following from the Sacra-
mento correspondent Of the San Francisco
Bulletin is only a confirmation of what
has been asisated in the political circles in
Sacramento for a week or two past:
The slate of the leaders is said to be
definitely made up about as follows /:
Governor Low is not q candidate, but his
friends" will insist on making him Sena-
tor to succeed McDougali. Felton's
friends will assist in this movement, in re-
turn for which Lows friends are pledged
to make FELTON, the successor Of Conness.
Parks is to be next Congressman, and
Phelps is to be the next Governor, in re-
turn for the assistance rendered by their
respective adherents. II this programme
is carried out, Lieutenant Governor
Machin becomes Governor, and then who
ever is chosen President pro tenn. of the
Senate becomes Lieutenant Governor.
