of Mr. Koontz, why has he failed in, his

mount-as an examination Of the account
submitted above will show that he gave
him credit for only $1196-tlius~ making

ELKTON, JANUARY 6, 1866.
1865.

Casting Il glance back to the old year Just
gathered to the tomb Of the hours, now much
have we to be thankful lori SiXtyhve was
ushercd ia amid the roar Of cannon and
tramp Of embattled hosts. The nation was
Offering its sacrifice of toll and blood on the
altar of freedom. Aristucracy was striking
madly its last desperate blows for supremacy
in the New World, while the legions of free
dom were advancing her banners. f'ud moving
in their terrible might from victory to vic.
tory! The year. that has inst been entombed
with the six thousands that have gone be-
fore, was destined to witness the death Of
slavery, and Il complete conquest by freedom
of that disturbing element, which, for long
series of years, retarded the progress of
these States, proving never ending source
Of contention and bitterness. Having moth
ing TO feed on in the future, that pride born
of slavery, and which so putled up the in
habitants Of the southern States, will, in
few brief years have ceased to torture those
whom it lurcd to ruin. Verify the saying of
of the wise man has been fulfilled in the
case Of the worshippcrs of bondage. Never
did pride, with its ignis .fatuns lamp, lead
to more woful destruction, or a naughty
spirit receive greater fall y!
In the language of Senator Wilson, a sy-
nopsis Of whose speech is printed on tie
first page, never did people fight a Drawer
battle, and never were a people so entirely
conquered and subdued. And never before
was such magnanimity shown as the loyal
freemcn Of America have displayed to such
savage, blood.thirsty, and cruel foe, as
the leading and controlling spirits Of the
Conederacy have proven themselves to be.
But it is past, the tolsome march and
deadly conflict, and the banner of the stars
waves in the quiet breeze of peace. Conse-
Grated in baptism Of blood, unparalleled
in history, it has become thousand times
more the banner Of the free. From the
blood Of the Revolution the young Repab
lie rose upon the world as the champion of
the rights Of man. Like Paul, proclaiming
a new gospel to the philosophers of Corinth,
which, by the beauty Of its truth, inspiration
and justice, was to overturn and subdue the
false and glittering theories of the Pagan
philosophers, so the doctrine that man was
capable Of seli;govcrnnent was proclaimed
by those iron men of the Revolution to the
naughty despots of the Old World, and by
their sons i'll 1860, that theory has been es-
tabished on a foundation that cannot be
shaken. Skepticism in regard to popular
government has ceased even among its direst
enemies.
