Ocr Chbistmas TuuKiY. This bird, whit h
generally makes his visits llmuHaaeoafjl
with those of SabM Claws, annually, OA tut
duly to bund, as expected, :iud ui wurtuly
welcomed. He was in line tlesh and feather,
and, judging from the frequency and high
(tur)key note of his gobble, was in bouyMl
Spirits. He was " cooped, cabiued and con
fined " for a short time, but being fearful that
his continual clamor might bring sonic other
biped to his rci, to prevent so fowl a trans
action, we put a . to his existence in the self
same moment. After undergoing the culin
ary process, and being tested by the m itiir
eatery and gastronomicdl apparatus, it was
couceded by every one who sat on the in
Vjaeat, th f he was not all "f.tss and feath
ers, " but that he was a biped of fine parts
and of tender and excellent qualities.
Farewell, noble, bfrd i) Never again shall
we behold th; gsudv pltimiige no more sh-vll
we see thy stalwart frame uo more listen
to thy stomach-stirring gobble I Thy coop
is empty thy head is trunkless thy f ith
urs lie scattered on the ground ! We mourn
for tin e (or one like thee, which would do
hs well !) M but we mourti not its those with
out Ao;f.'' Our loss is great but not irrepa
rable ! Though the recent holidays and fine
weather has created s id havoc in thy family,
doubtless thy tribe is still numerous. The
coop is empty and lo 1 New Year's day is at
hand I (P. S. Don't mistake the editor's for
the publisher's domicil. In thtyl event, we
hould have to exclaim with Richard, " Now
is the Winter of oar discontent;" and an
other battle of Bosworth field might ensue.)
To the kindness of our esteemed friend,
Mrs. 'Andy' Montgomery, we are indebted
for the 4iue gobbler above mentioned. May
her tribe and her turkeys increase ; may
she be blessed in barn and store-house, and
in all good things I
Geographical. President Davis, in his
late message, speaks more than once of the
" Island of Nassau." Is not this an error?
Is net the Island New Providence, and Aas

Sknatk. ;Mr. P;.wcll, (Vim. Kv.) gavo no
tics of a bill totil!W!lc.5iTi!lf iJlii er nnd
soldiers interfering wmWiTtioiJ- in States.
HouSlt. The Speaker nnnnuncd ns the
regular order of business the resolution snli
Bai'tted, by naanimous consent, by Mr. Cox,
, Hem., Ohio) and laid over under the rule..
The resolution is as follows:
A.v fwtf, That the president of the United
States i,e respectfully nil urgently requested
to take immediate step- 1 r the exchiinge f
such of our prisoner! as are now contined in
the prisons of the South, and that be be re
quested to communicate to this body all the
correspondence in the War Department in ref
erence to the exchange of prisoners:
Mr. Washburue (Un.'j 111.) submitted a sub
stitute, namely:
That the House approve of the consistent
statesmanlike and humane eifoits of the Ad
mlolstration to secure an exchange of our
prisoner? nnw in the hands tot the rebels, and
it is hereby recommended that such eii'ot t.s
be continued to secure an exchange of our
prisoners now in bo ijhern prisons.
This subititute to Mr. Cox's resolution was
agreed to by 94 to 73 uncf the resolution as
thus amended was passed. Yeas, 100
Nays, 40.
ft is verv Blgficant that in Htiuso so de
votedly servile, Mr. Lincoln should have his
course relative to the exchange of prisoners
endorsed by n vote of 94 to 73; It id u vic
tory that will have the consequences, of n de
feat; for the confession of 7;; mn that he hag
not acted honorably and humanely, will out
weigh the interested testiurony Of 94 parti
lani that he bus. If the truth was knon
and tee Congressmen brave enough to speak
it, the substitute would have beea uuaui
raouly rejected.
Repentant rebels are required by tbe
President's proclamation of amnesty not
simplv to yield obedierc to bis emancipa
tion edict and all (he radical acts of Con
gress relating to the rebellion, but to sup
port all these. Abolitionists, formerly,
were expected lo yield obedience to the
fugitive slave law, which they did not
do, but what would they hae said if
they bad been required to take an oath to
support it.
Repentant rebels should, of course be
required to take an pa'h to support the
constitution, bnt the President, in offering
amnesty to them, hhould, at the very
least, have let the emancipation edict and
all other measures of doubtful constitu
tionality stand in abeyance, awaiting the
decisions of the Supreme Court.
But the President was not offering
terms to be accepted; he was offering
terms not to be accepted.

Our friends will confer great favor
by furnishing us any I".te Yankee papers
they may chance to get, also anything local
of interest. Letters from the front, or differ
ent branches of the army, short anu pithy,
very acceptable.
