THE OHIO STATESMAN FOR 1865
PROSPECTUS.

The time has come to issue the Annual
Prospectus of TIE ONO STATESMAN.
This journal was established to expound
and enforce the great ideas of Government
taught and practiced by THOMAS JEFFERSON
and ANDREW JACKSON, which gave exten'
Of territory to the Union, worldwide re-
nown to these States, and unexampled pros
perity and happiness to the American peo-
pie. Never before in the history of the
Government, were the exposition and the
enforcement Of these ideas so necessary as
now. Alone through their adoption and
faithful practice by the Administration, can
the Union be restored, and peace and wide
spread happiness be brought again to our
Country, now torn and mangled and desc
lated by gigantic Civil War.
A partial change in the Editorship and
Proprietorship of THE STATESMAN has taken
place. LEWIS BAKER has sold his entire in
terest in the Establishment and retired from
the position that was assigned him on the
Paper-E. b. EsHELMAN having bought that
interest and an additional interest. Mr..
EsHELMAN has been for nearly Seyear,
the Editor of The Chillicothe Aduertise'- "a
paper regarded as one of the leading DEM
ocratic Journals of Ohio. lie has now
assumed the duties and responsibilities
of his new position as the co-editor OF
The STATESMAN, thus uniting his expert
ence and ability with those of AMOS lay
MAN, in the important work of continuing
to. make the several editions of the Paper
deserving the cordial and liberal support OF
the Democracy, everywhere.
The Ono STATESMAN COMPANY now call
upon the friends of the Union and the Con-
stitution, in every County, Township, and
School District, throughout the entire State,
to actively aid them in the circulation of
this old and time-honored Central Organ of
the Ohio Democracy. They ask that all OF
f..
its editions be literally subscribed for and
paid for, during the ensuing year.
AN accurate daily abstract of the pro-
ceedihgs OF the Ohio Legislature, when in
session; he latest Telegraphic Dispatches,
including the proceedings of Congress,
when i session, and the Markets from all
the Commercial Cities-will be given in
each issue.
THE WEEKLY STATESMAN is large thir-
ty-two column journal, printed on good
papef and clear type, large enough for old
eyes. Each number contains complete
res,nas Of all the Military and Political news
Of the week; the latest Telegraphic and
Market Reports; a carefully prepared col
lection of Literary reading for the home
and family; and an abundance of Para
graphs upon every topic of interest or i'm
portance. -al t 'as
While the war continues, and the curren-
CIV ia of such sort as it is, we can hope for
little or no profit. Our terms for The
WEEKLY have been somewhat increased,
bataot In proportion to the increased cost
of white paper, labor, and everything else
used In making Newspaper. The Paper
cannot be published with any lower scale
soflprices. AS it is, there is really nothing
equally valuable, SO cheap as Newspaper
llike Tn STATESMAN.

Sherman,s New Base.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com

SHERMAN:

sherman's Movements In England

The brilliant success of Gen. SHERMANs
daring march from Atlanta to the Allan
tic gives piquancy and interest to the fol-
lowing extract from the New York CORES
pondence of the London Herald The
author of this e:r cathedra statement is the
successor of the notorious Manhattan"
and, though more scrupulous of truth and
decency than his predecessor, whose let
tiers were modelled upon the editorials of
the New York Herald, he is not one whit
less devoted to the cause of JEFFERSON
DAVIS:
Gen. Sherman's movement will result either
In the most tremendous disaster that ever yet
befell an armed host, or it will rewritten upon
the page of history as the very consummation
of the success of sublime audacity. The name
of the captor of Atlanta, if he fails now, will
become the scoff of mankind, and the humilia-
ton Of the United States for all time. If he
succeeds, it will be written on the tablet of
fame, side by side with that of Napoleon and
Hannibal. he will be either Xerxss or a
XenOphon. -. ..... .,.... t. ..l.r ..,

A Plucky Woman.

We find the following incident related
by correspondent from Nashville, under
date of Dec. 14th. The courage of Mrs.
RAINS in saving her house when it was
placed between the fire of two great con-
tending armies, is very remarkable, but it
is noted that woman in defense Of her
property, will exhibit q courage which
would shame the bravery of our boldest
men We believe that Mrs. RAINS is the
widow of the late rebel Gen. RAINS, who
distinguished himself in PRICES CAMPAIGNS
in Missouri:
Our skirmish line pushed out mile beyond
the Rains House, which stands on the Muir
freesboro Pike. AS soon as the men had passed
by it, Col. Thompson gave orders TO fire it. as
1t had on several occasions given shelter to the
rebel skirmishers, to the great annoyance of
our men. This order was about to be exc
cuted, when, to the surprise of all, Mrs. Rains
issued from it. and with frantic entreaties be.
sought that it might be spared The courage
OF this lady Is something remarkable. The
house stands full in the midst and exposed to
the fire OF both parties, and yet she had re.
NAMED in it during the hottest firing. to save
her house from pillage and burning. az She
said. She approached Col. Thompson "a he
was standing in the yard, and began to sup
plicate him TO save her house, while the bull
lets from the rebel muskets were still whist
ling uncomfortably thick On all sides of them
At the Colonel's suggestion she took refuge
behind large tree, and continued to converse
with him. The house was spared on condi-
lion that no more rebel sharpshooters should
be allowed TO harbor IN it. From her the Col
onel learned that General Hood had that day
ridden along the whole exten. of his works.

expressed himself highly satisfied with the

Porter,s Expedition.

The news from the Wilmington expedi-
ton is somewhat conflicting. The first is
highly favorable, but later report states
that the expedition has been abandoned.
A report still later states that the powder
ship was exploded within three hundred
yards of Fort Fisher, but the effect Is not
stated. The bombardment of the fort was
progressing on Monday. The expedition
has experienced severe gales which came
near sending some of the Monitors to the
bottom. A letter froa, Fortress Monroe
Of the 10th says: -
A number of vessels composing the feet ar.
rived at Beaufort on the 10th. Since then, one
at time they have been arriving, having been
separated by severe gale that ragged off Cape
Hatteras on Wednesday the 18th inst. The
fine weather that furnished such coed cause
for congratulation the day the fleet left did not
last long, and on the following day the feet
was struck by terrible storm that, for time,
threatened to engulf the heavy monitors in the
ocean, and to sweep to destruction the navy
that struggled against its almost resistless
might.
The monitors pa1icularly were in danger.
Their peculiar construction and immense
weight of metal render them unwieldy and
helpless in storm. The great waves, lifted
by the angry winds, threw their huge bodies
over them, burying them as it were for mo-
ment, and then, all drenched, they would rise
from the trough only to be presently again
submerged. The escape of the .Mahopac was
almost miraculous. The boiling waters leaped
above the little craft, until leaking badly, she
signalled to her convoy that her main pump
was disabled and the water gaining. Had her
fate been decided then, and, like the original
monitor-lost off Cape Hatteras nearly two
years ago-she had found watery grave, no
human hand could have helped her unfortu-
nate crew, for the stoutest vessel could hardly
Withstand the impetuous rush of the troubled
waters. Happily, however, by hard labor at
the pumps, and by bailing, she was enabled to
signal to her anxious convoy that the water
was being successfully resisted, and the brave
little craft with struggle freed herself of the
volumes that the ocean hurled against her,
and arrived in safety at the appointed rendez-
vOus. ., '..
Some uneasiness is felt in regard to the 9TH
er vessels, though we trust all fears are ground
less.

Political Capital OF the Republic

The Herald says gentleman meeting
THAD. STEVENS, the Republican leader in
Congress, at Washington, the other day,
inquired if the amendment to the Consti-
tution for the abolition of slavery would
pass this session. "Well, replied STE
VEINS, it ought to pass, and l find many
Democrats in favor of it; but somehow or
other some of my people object to it.
They say it will take away all their thun-
der, and leave them nothing to aeitate
about. Still, it ought to pass, and per-
haps it will"
These remarks of Thad. Stevens show
very plainly why the amendment to which
they refer hangs fire in Congress. By a
sudden change of front some of the Re-
publicans are opposing it, while some Demo,
Gratis are willing to vote for it. The Re-
publicans are afraid of losing their politi-
cal capital. Rather than do this they are
willing to sacrifice their consistency and to
betray the principle for which they have
always professed to contend. This proves,
as we have constantly asserted, that the
Republicans have used the slavery ques-
ton as mere catch to get into power.
They care nothing for the freedom of the
negro; but they want to ride on him so long
as he will carry them into the White House
and the halls of Congress Now that they
have achance to abolish slavery, they re-
fuse to avail themselves of it, lest it should
iniure their political prospects. They had
rather re-rivet the chains of the slave than
run the risk of defeat at the next election.
They want to keep the negro upon the
auction block, and they want to have him
whipped once in awhile, so that they can
indulge in oratorical sympathy for him and
rhetorical fourishes about the rights of
man. Sambo has had pretty hard time
with his fre-eating masters; but he will
have much harder time with his hypo-
critical deliverers.

The Resources Of the Confederaey.
The Richmond Whig of Dec. 23d says

Inc Richmond Whig OF Dec. 23d says
editorially:
The idea has been expressed abroad. ED
studiously enforced at the North, that the re-
sources OF the Confederacy, as to arms-bearing
men, are on the point of exhaustion. Many
well meaning people among ourselves have
yielded to the delusion. Yet no proposition is
more erroneous than that the confederacy is
exhausted, or nearly. exhausted, in its arms
bearing population.
The Wing then goes on at great length
with statistics, and shows that according
to those figures the Oonfederacy has now
a force of about seven hundred thousand
fighting men, making allowance for details
by the President. The Wing assumes that
they have now in the field four hundred
and sixty-one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-four men. This force, it claims, is
larger than any force that has been
brought against it by our government.
With this force the Hhig sums up that
the Confederacy can be defended and the
tide of invasion rolled back.

Senator Nye OF Nevada.

The Senate of the United States is about
to receive an important accession in the
person of Gen. "JIM" NYR. The Buffalo
Courier says that years ago hewas a "side
judge " in Madison county court and be-
came somewhat prominent in State poll
tics as rampant Barnburner. He was
always seeking Office, and after seeking in
vain in the ranks Of the Democratic party
went over to the Republicans. When they
succeeded in erecting the metropolitan po-
lice commission they made NYE one of its
members. His career in that capacity was
odious, and his character was pretty thor
oughly ventilated in an expose concerning
the levying of present" of some mag
nitude-a house and lot we believe-upon
the police force of the metropolitan dis
trict. Subsequently he was aAoat for a
long time, but finally found employment
upon the Republican stump as the 'Hon. !"
and "Gen." JAMES W. NYB. As re-
ward for his services, Mr.. LINCOLN made
him Governor of Nevada Territory-sala-
ry, 81, 800 a year. Now he returns Sem
ator of the United States, fit associate
for JIM LANE, ZACH CHANDLER and others
of the same calibre, who fill the seats once
occupied by CALHOUN, CLAY, WEBSTER,
CAss and their compeers. Asa retailer of
chaste jests and classical scholar, he is
only equalled by ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

A Pleasant View Of the Financial
Situation.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune draws roseate picture OF
our financial prospects, under the taxation
already levied, and such additional as may
be imposed by the present Congress- Inc
correspondent estimates saving OF i've
to ten millions of revenue by the act
CHANGING the time when the 81 tax on
whisky should take effect from February
18th to January Let, and that the law as
it now stands, when the present stocks are
consumed, will yield one hundred millions
of dollars of income per annum-a sum
sufficient to pay the interest on the pres
ent national debt. When the rebellious
States are reclaimed, and the excise laws
extend to all parts Of the country, the in
come from this source will reach one hun
dred and fifty millions per year, and it is
estimated that two hundred millions will
be derived from the excise on domestic
distilled, brewed and vinous beverages du-
ring the year 1866, to which may be add
ed twenty-five millions from duties on i'm
ported spirits. When to this liquor tax is
added the heavy income from tobacco in
its various forms, a revenue will be derived
from those two sources almost sufficient of
themselves to pay the interest on the ma
tionM debt and support the army and navy
in time of peace. Most Of the other tax
90 after the war is ended may be repealed
or greatly reduced. a..o.s .l.a......-
The tax on incomes and manufactures
may be cut down fifty or sixty per cent.
Indeed, if Congress would lexy tax on
cotton of say three cents per pound, or
twelve dollars bale, q revenue of not less
than fifty millions could be obtained from
that source, and all taxes on incomes and
manufactures might then be safely abated.
The tax on the three articles of liquor, to-
bacco and cotton would supply the Gov
eminent with an abundance Of revenue for
all its wants.

ton TO Wilmington:
