The Old Year Departed.

The memorable year of 1855, has closed out, and
it is numbered with the years beyond the Flood 1t
will be matter of interest to ali thinking men, to
pass in review some of the leading mOmentOus
events that has trsnsp!red since its commencement
To give complete synopsis of these is not necessa-
ry, as they are yet fresh in the minds of all We
can therefore, but call TO mind few of the promi-
men: events, and in doing so, it will seem to the
reader that it is scarcely possible that they should
have taken place in SO short a space the single
year Of 1865.
At the commencement of the year just closed out,
Hood rebel army shattered, dispersed and whipped,
took up its winter quarters in Mississippi; large
rebel force in the Southwest, then holding Texas
most of Louisiana, and South Alabama; while the
rebels boosted that the armies of Lee and johnson
were able hold Richmond and successfully resist
Grant and Sherman. But the rebel painters had
not finished the scene on the canvass, before the
whole picture changed. 1t would fills large newspa-
per present the transactions the five first months
OF the year. The great rebel power, under Lee and
Johnson that had for four years defed the armies OF
the Union, was, in few days shattered and blasted
in all its parts; and disbanded brigades scattered
regiments and whipped, demoralized and wander
| ing companies, were hunting Federal commanders
! to surrender to. The combined attack Of Farragut
and Candy, brought down Mobile; Grant, who all
the time said he would fight it out on that line
overpowered the army Of Lee triumphantly enter
ed Richmond taking that Den Of Treason, and de-
stroying the hopes of the insurgents. johnson
fanked and beaten by the intrepid Sherman, sur
rendered in North Carolina Sheridan had made q
bowling wilderness of the Shannandoah Valley, and
! Jubal Early is said to be running yet! Wilson
made an easy and successful raid from Nashville tc
the Gulf; the surrender of Dick Taylor and all his
forces west Of the Mississippi followed before we
were ready to parole them; and the capture Of JEFF
Davis among the pine woods Of Georgia, disguised
in petticoats and bonnets, early in May completed
| the grand picture OF Federal triumphs
In a few months followed the ratification by the
States Of the Constitutional Amendments, setting
at liberty 100000 of slaves and old offenders, &c
and 50 years of age instead Of crowding the sane
tuary of God, and asking for pardon, crowded oul
court-rooms, and implored the pardon OF Andrew
johnson, the successor Of the martyred President
whose death was all they had left TO ezult over
Now, and before this eventful year has closed out
the worst Of traitors were found denying that they
had done any harm; and asking only to be let
alone. What wonderful year the year 1865 ha!

The Southern Papers.

The newspapers Of the South are justly supposed
20 reflect Southern sentiments; and far the late
rebelious States are concerned, they indicate very
correctly their rebelous spirit and reasonable pur-
poses. We have all the time centended that the
rebels of the whole South are full # the spirit OF
disloyalty, overfowing with hatred o. she Govern
ment, and as much bent upon the ruin Of The csun-
Try as they were in 1852. Any who doubt these
statements will have all their doubts removed II
they will read the Southern rebel papers. They all
breathe the spirit of rebellion, they stab the Gov
ernmont, and they find fault with all who are in au-
thority They pretend 10 be pleased with the Pres
idents plan of reconstruction, but all that is with
view 10 recover their property, 10 obtain pardon,
Ind TO get into power again. The rebel leaders Of
the South, who desire TO get into Congress and 70
practice cheat upon the loyal men of the country,
would do well 20 suppress the publication Of ali the
Southern psPers. As long as these are circulated
freely men Of sense can and will see where they are
drifting TO- and what they are aiming at. They are
aiming 10 accomplish by legislation what they failed
10 do upon the field OF carnage-the ruin of the
country.

Hon. John N. Bolts and the Test Oath.
rom the Philadelphia Press

From the FhLad5iphl1 Press.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 2l.-John NJ Bolts. of Vir-
gina, visited the capitol this morning. and looked
as hale and happy as when, more than twenty years
ago he slept in the same bed with John Tyler
Whatever may be said of this remarkable man, no
body doubts that his course fearless and loyal
to the National Government as that Of any of the
early Southern opponents of the rebellion. John
NJ. Bolts imbibed hatred of the authors of the in
surrecton from his opposition to the Southern Dem
ocratic leaders. 1t was, therefore, natural for him.
as an old Wing, to take issue with the so-called
Democrats, who had so long ruled the roast in Vir-
ginia. During four years OF war; his plantation has
been ravaged by the conteuding hosts, and he said
this morning that ne would, rather than 20 through
the same rough and bloody experience, endure the
horrors of double Bull Run defeat. 1t was re-
freshing to hear his warm, bold words Of henest de-
votion to the country and his earnest denunciations
of the classes who seeking undeerved admission
into Congress. Just now the hated obstacle in the
way of this class IS the test oath In support OF this
essential protection, Mr. Bolts has prepared several
powerful arguments.
His reasoning derived from his sincere and IN
falterng loyalty, and his knowledge Of the treason
of the traitors goes te the very root Of the question
In one of his letters he contended with mastery
ability, not alone for the constuonality, but for
the necessity of this oath. Some Of his points are
opportune and powerful, and may well be proftably
read by our lawmakers and those who expect the
oath to be repealed for their special benefit In re-
ply to the allegation that one Congress cannot bind
succeeding Congress, and that the oathis therefore
imperative upon persons applying for admission to
the present Houses, he says: Z" II Congress cannot
bind its successors then we should have no laws be-
yond the period for which Congress was elected and
there would be an absence Of all law until each was
re-enacted by the succeeding Congress
With keen discrimination, he finds the constitu-
tional power to make and force political test oath
in that clause of the Federal compact which says
members of the State Legislature, &c, "shall be
bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Con
stituton, but religious test oath shall be required
as qualification to any public trust under the
United States" Thus, in the very prohibition he
finds the full power to create precisely such pot-
zeal obligation as that which now stands, Ike an
angel with flaming sword, barring the admission
Of bloody handed rebels. l mention these two
points not much because they are timely and in
dictate the existence of that sustaining patriotism in
the South which looks to strong measures as the
surest security for lasting reunion.
