A. NEEDED BEFOSS.
The order issued by Gen. Hnrlbnt to all
the officers In his Department to return to
their regiments every soldier employed on
detached duty, is one that ought to be re
peated by every Commander of a Depart- j
mebt Heretofore thousands of soldiers were
taken from the ranks and detailed on
** special duty.” .This special duty consists
'' chiefly of apflng as body servants to officers,
.dandug attendance at their hods, and mogul
"tying their dignity and consequence; in act
ing as teamsters and laborers for the Quar
termasters, and in derking for all grades of
officials; for unloading steamboats and trains,
and In constructing corduroy roads; and
• thousands are kept in the hospitals as wait
ers and nurses, where many of thcuuare dis
charged on one pretext or another, or obAin
citiscns clothes and desert It is not an over
estimate to say, that two-fifths of the entire
number of soldiers drawing pay do not an
swer at roll-call, nor can tbey be found when
a battle is about to take place. They are ab
sent on-thc •* detached service” described, or
reported dek in the hospitals.
Bow often do wc hear of this or that regi
ment going into a battle with 250 or 800 men,
and yet on the rolls of such regiments will
be found 600 to 7DO names drawing their
quarterly pay. The absentees ore mainly on
detatched service; a score or two may be
sick, but the remaining hundreds are dis
persed about the Department, and some of
them in other Departments, frittering away
thdr time in doing what soldiers should not
be set at, *
Estimating our present army at 500,000
men;.SO,ooo is a liberal computation for
those absent on account of illness, including
those at home on sick foloughs as well as in
the hospitals, and 150,000 men is an under
estimate for those out of ranks on all the
dodges and pretexts that are embraced un
der the head of u detached service,” leav
ing about 800,000 men, at the outside, to meet
the rebels in the field. And this largely ac
counts for the seeming that the reb
els nearly always outnumber our forces in
actual battle. At Chickamauga Gen. Bose
crans had scarcely 50.000 men in the action,
and ho apparently had all he could procure or
concentrate; yet it is known that on the
pay-rolls of his Department were the names
of not far short of 140,000 men. It is truq
that many thousands were scattered about in
garrisons, holding railroad stations and little
towns; bnt If the exact truth were known,
it would be found that half as many soldiers
were on “ detatched duty”--afi he had in the
fight Had they been with him instead of be
ing absent, playing'orderly, cleric, servant,
teamster, or hospital' nurse, a splendid
victory would have been won instead of a
bloody reverse subdued. We hope this
<A detatched service” abase will be investi
gated and reformed. Plenty of persons oth
er than white veteran soldiers can be obtain
ed to perform aIL the necessary “ detached
duy-,” and if officers about posts and
commissary departments want to have troops
of servants at their beds, let them hire civil
ans and pay them ont of their own pockets,
instead of robbing the army of its rank and
file for such unsoldicrly employment.
EXTENDING TZXE BAILS WEST-
WAED.
Our readers will remember that some
months since the Galena and Chicago Union
Bailroad effected a perpetual lease of the Chi
cago, lowa and Nebraska, and the Cedar Bap
ids and Missouri Bailroad, which, when com
pleted,' will extend the Air-Line, dirditly
west to the Missouri. The Cedar Bapids and
iliSßouri Boad was extended west of Mar
shalltown to State-Centre, fourteen and a
half miles on the 25th of November. The
grading to Nevada, thirty miles west of Mar
shall, was completed In October, hat owing
to the mass of freights • crowding every ave
nue, the iron could oot be got forward to fin
ish the road. Iron to lay the track to Cato,
twenty-three miles west of Marshalltown, is
now on the ground and it will be pat down
as soon as the weather will permit It now
reaches a point further west c than any other
road in lowa, and is under contract to be
finished to Boonsboro, .on the Ucsmoincs
Hirer, three hundred and forty-five
west of Chicago,* by the first of November
next This will leave bat a hundred and
t vcnty-fiye miles of track to be built in order
to .reach the Missouri,' and arrangements are
making to push the work forward more rap
idly than has been realised in any other part
of the road. Probably our citizens will re
joice in a continuous rail to tbe Missouri dur-'
ing the year one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-five. ■ - •
The surveys west of Boonsboro have do-,
vcloped aline nearly due west and not bend
ing eo far north as in the old surveys, with
an easy grade,* reaching the Boyer Elver at
Denison, and thence down the beautiful val
ley of that river to the Missouri. The point
of crossing the Missouri is said to be favor
able and nearly, if not exactly, on a line with
Ihenorth bend of the Platte. Of course the
length of’the road will be materially short
ened. In view of the fact that work is ex
pected to commence on the line of the Great
Pacific Hallway in a few months, the progress
of this and other lowa roads westward, be
comes a matter of great interest to onr city.
The rapidly increasing length of the Galena
road'westward has called fora correspond
ing increase of rolling stock. Contracts Jbr
locomotives and cars have been made, to be
completed in time for next season's business.
A single fact will show the importance of
the extended line to Chicago. lu 1801,47,030
live hogs were brought over the road to our
City; in 18C3, 200,000 arrived by the same
line and had it net been for the terrible
stonn on the last day of the year a full round
£OO,OOO would have been reached.
The bridge over the slough was completed
to Little Hock Island &4cw years since. The
bridge across the maid stream of the Missis
sippi is in a good stage of forwardness.- • A
million of feet of lumber is already on the
ground to' build a temporary wooden draw
to be used till it can be replaced by an iron
structure. * . *< -
Onr business public have reason for con
gratulation, that one of onr principal rail
road lines is likely so soon to reach the Mis
souri. Within a year from that time, or us
soon as business has had time to adjust itself
to new channels, Chicago will control the
vast trade of the Platte Valley. It is a trade
of the value and extent of’which onr mer
chants have no adequate concept! on. Color
ado is already a rich and prosperous territory
annually contributing millions of gold to the
commerce of the world. Idaho, the new ter
ritory north of* Colorado, embracing the
headwaters-of the Yellow Stone, the Mis
souri, and the it is believed. lias
even more gold than any other State or Ter
ritory in the Union. The trade that will
reach, our city as soon as one or more of
our roads have reached- the Platte Valloy,
we . predict will astound our people accus
tomed ns they are .to commercial wonders.-
The sooner, therefore, the Missouri Is reached
the better will it be for the growth and pros
perity of Chicago. .

A New Fashion and 1U Perils.
Dr. Buckland, an English surgeon, cautions
the ladies of London against the dangerous
character of a new fashion of female attire.
The Ingenious milliners paving devised an odd
style of ornaments lot ladles 1 hats, consisting
of plumes woven from spufc glass. It is inti
mated that the eyesight of Loudon women is
thereby . imperiled. • Dr. Buckland says:
4< These plumes are highly, ornamental and
graccftil to look at; but I would beg tbe gen
tlemen' to warn tbe ladles of their families'
against wearing them, for, those -threads of
glass are as thin as cobwebs, and, though ap
parently solid as a mass, break and snap <yf£
foiling Into almost Impalpable ‘powder with
'ike greatest oasis; the ijitnice are very likely
to find their way into the eyes of the lair
wearers; <ond ,I need not ton them what pain
nnd disconcert they would necessarily .cause.”
r * There is a man in the Crystal Palace In Lon
don whose occupation is that of a glass-blow-'
cr, and this person writes to the Times in an
JncUgnaat strain. Dr, Buckland’a caution, h©
says, u hu & tendency to Injure the glass*
blowing business;” and merely humauitary
considerationMaro of no consequence to tMa
“ Crystal False* Glass-Blower,” who signs no
other name. Moreover, this Ingenious per
son avers that the glass he spins cannot be
broken', but can be “tied in knots”—which
is a remarkable virtue in glassware.
jsy Charleston. Is having a good time of It
Day after day, week after week, month after
month,- the work. goes on; 'not very hard or
bitter at once—but like a kind of cancer,
which cats on, and aches, and gets a little
worse all the while. Gilmore seems to be
• studying as to how long he can keep them
toasting:' A few shells every'day, tossed into
some unexpected place, and setting the town
on Arc, arc, like his cigar, a thing to be at
tended to. It 2s not quite certain that he is
acting according to the Constitution, which
prohibits “ unusual ” punishments. WAX the
thing never be over? , The Charlestonians
may well say, as is said in the Apocalypse to
the Laodlceons—“l would those went cold
or hot,” It were better to be burned up and
done with it, than to be thus kept simmering
through all the moon’s rhnpg^p,
It is the very thing for Charleston, She
kept the nation In a stew for thirty years. It
is At that she take her own physic. We hope
Gilmore will take his time. There is no hur
ry as to Charleston now. As that old one
eyed Cyclop promised Ulysses'*, that he should
be, as a special favor, the last man he would
cat, we. would be willing to bargain with
Charleston, to be in no hurry as to her case.
Twenty shells per day isn’t much. We can
afford them as long as she win Let her have
them in due-measure. By about next Sep
tember, we can send a squad ashore to see
how much of the nest nf the rebellion is left.
Don’t be in a hurry, Gen. Gilmore.
£35" The present lull in military action Is
unavoidable, at least as regards land opera
tions and huge movements. But it may be
carried too far. It may be so far indulged in
as to give us great trouble next season, and
as to protract the war. It ought to be a sea
son of prodigious activity in the way of pre
paration ; in the work of fitting up the army;
in preparing supplies, and in getting them
forward; and especially in making connex
ions, and in getting ready to extend them,
so that when the army begins to move, it
shall move. All this is the work of the pres
, ent season.
We have little from Dixie but stories of ex
haustion and discouragement; and one in
ference is, that the rebels are doing nothing
bnt sitting on the ground and groaning. In
this we may be mistaken. It Is probably the
fiict that they are busy as tecs.; and as tlielr
circle is not large, they can work with great
rapidity when so minded. It would be a
shame If they arc ready to move before wo
arc, and so take the initiative. Snch a move
ment would give them an advantage which ‘
they might a long time'keep. Tie season
opens in Georgia before it does here. The
rebels know thatnext summer will kill their
concern outright unless they can, by some
desperate endeavor, get an advantage, which
shall protract the-war and afford them some
dimly-conceived chance or other. We may
therefore expect them to be desperate if they
stir at all. Let onr preparations be har
ried up.
ESP The SotUJiCrti Literary a lite
rary periodical published at Richmond, has
an article on the Anglo-Saxon mania, in which
the writer attempts to prove that the chival
ry arc descended, without taint of blood,
direct from the Normans, and haring planted
his genealogical tree, suddenly burets out as
follows:
Who will insist that the Saxonlzed maw
worms, creeping from the Mayflower on to
the cold, forbidd|ng crags of the North, have
any right to kinship with the whole-souled
Norxnan-Britidfa planters of a gallant race,
on a welcoming sunny soil.■ -
These “ whole eonlcd Nonnan-British
planters,” have a Just right to complain of
the “Saxonizcd maw worms.” They have
crept from the “cold, forbidding crags of the
North,” into Missouri,. Arkansas, Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Florida, and are still
creeping. They are uneasy worms, and will
probably keep on until they have eaten the
bogus Confederacy throhgh and through.
ESP The Ist Alabama regiment of colored
infantry'was recruited at Corinth, where they
.are at present located, in May last On the
first of January, instant, there were present
in camp for dnty 952 men, thirty-nine com
missioned, and fourteen non-commissioned
white officers. J. M. Alexander is the Colo
nel; J.M. Irvin, Lieut. CoL, and E. M. Low,
Major: Not one private or officer in the regi
ment is. under arrest, and only four men are
in the hospital.
One very good feature In this regiment is
the organization of schools. - company
is organized into a separate school, which is
taught by teachers hired for that purpose
from the North. They arc paid by a volun
tary contribution froju tbe soldiers of from
fifty cents to one dollar per capita each month.
The soldiers evince great interest in their
books, which they take out on picket with,
them, and they appear to acquire knowledge
us readOy as white children. They arc under
excellent discipline, and like military service
very much. - —'

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, &C., BY THE ABUT.
A good part of yesterday’s session in Con
gress was taken up with a debate In an at
tempt to define the jurisdiction of the Court
•of Claims. The Union men generally ore in
favor of leaving all those claims for damages
by the army to -farms, fences, crops, &c., to
Congress, and allowing the Court to pass
upon those claims only which arise on con
tracts, &c. If the Court of Claim sis to pass
on every case of damages : claimed on ac
count of the passage or ; encampment of the
army, the country would be swamped Ww>i
. than six months. The expenses of witnesses,
&c., too would be enormous, while the evi
dence taken would be almost all expsrte,
Seccsh would swear for Union men and trice
*■«*«» regards the amount of -damage done
to both. The only way in which damage nrin
be done in such cases is by commissloaera
appointed to visit the property. Some gen
tlemen desire the Court to. pass upon cases
wherein &c., have
given receipts. Bnt the Quartermaster-
General’s Department has already the decis
ion in such cases, and can only pay In cases
where the receipts are regular. Any one
having passed a month or two with the ariny
knows with what'recklessness receipts'are
given, especially when .the army is about to
move from an encampment. Here is a mine
of fraud and con-notion In which it
hot do to let cveiy shyster attorney have
a chance to dig out the money of the people
.in the shape of claims trumped up by every
imaginable system of deception, fraud and
pcijury. ....
THE COMMUTATION CLAUSE IN THE CON-
SCRI7TION.
This subject attracts more general atten
tion In and out of Congress than any other.
It is generally understood that it will. be re
‘ talned in a modified form. Mr. Sumner, to
day, in the Senate, offered an amendment to
the Conscription Act which fixes a scale of
commutation. He supported it In one of those
perfectly classical and statesmanlike speech
es which are seldom or never heard in these
days of slip-shod and disjointed efforts at elo
cution. It was not a long or elaborate
speech, but it was to the point and purpose
of his amendments, and every word and sen
tence might be printed as be delivered it,
and the whole published in aSchool Reader as
a perfect specimen of the English language.
I regret to notice that Mr, Sumner shows 4
age. That nameless appearance of something
indicative of a want of nervous energy is visi
ble in his noble looking form and Features.
He looks as if he spent more time than he
ought ip his study, and prolonged his labors
too for into the hours which should be given
to repose. The brutal assault upon him by
the ruffian Brooks, may also, and no doubt
does, effect his nervous system unfavorably.
But, even as ho is { with age creeping on
apace, and the physical man showing signs
of the wear and tear of the mind within, air.
Sumner is the greatest man in the United
States Senate, and is likely to be in all oar
day and generation
Mr. Sumner’s amendments - provide that
the commutation be SBOO, except that every
person discharged shall in addition pay on all
income over SOOO and not over $3,000, ten per
cent; over 2,000 aud not over $5,000, twenty
per cent; aud on all income over $5,000,
thirty per cent. •
Mr. Stanton, I learn, Asserts that if the
commutation danse is not repealed the Gov
ernment cannot succeed in raising a suffi
cient number of troops.
TAX ON SPIRITS—INCREASED TAX.
Thc Committee on Ways and Means in the
Sedate yesterday reported a tax of GO cents
per gallon on spirits, and two cents per
pound on cotton. The duty on spirits is to
be levied on all on band on which no duties
have been paid and no returns mode from the
12th of January, 1804. It >tas at first deter
mined in the Committee to put the tax at 80
cents, as I some time since informed you,
bnt within a day or two it was cut down to
60. It was reported in New York yesterday
that spirits were to have an additional tax of
20 cents, upon which the article went up in
proportion. I notice some agents of Chica
go speculators here, seeking information and
paying liberally therefor. X saw some money
change hands in this way to-day—a flat broke
correspondent of a paper (not the Tbibukb)
raising enough at one haul to pay a'month’s
board, and keeping a nest-egg for fatale op
erations. There may be a still further ad
vance in the dnty. Judging from the letter of
Mr. Chose sent to the chairman of the Fi
nance Committee. e»
THE COPPERHEADS COHHEKCIXG THE CAM-
PAIGN
Tbe.resolutions of tbe Copperhead caucus
on Saturday night,directed against the mone
’ taiy interest ol the country, which now sus
tains the war. and the resolutions of Fernan
. do Wood in the House yesterday, are looked
upon as the opening of the grand .campaign,
which will only close with the Presidential
election. Wood is a fitting representative
man of the Democracy, a$ respects the hon
esty and integrity of the party. There is
about as much honesty in the movement os*
in tbe mover. Still these two moves of the
Democracy give them a platform, for which
they hod been casting about since the open
ing of the session. They intend to fight the
battle for tbe President almost exclusively
on financial and economical grounds. They
will howl “fraud,” “fraud, 1 “ corruption,”
“ corruption/ 1 from now till the Ides of No
vember, with a vigor worthy of a better
cause. The peace propositions will be kept
in abeyance, except when some unfledged
politician, likeßodgers of New Jersey, sends
up a rocket in the shape of resolutions pro
viding for commissioners to Biehmond, &c,
-Such things are merely safety valves for the
escape of the extra steam of the party, not
intended for present use. Bnt when Fernan
do Wood Ignites the fuse,’and throws a band
grenade like that of yeelerdayj Into
the House, it means mischief It is
the movement of a cunning politician who
watches events, feels the public pulse, and
acts accordingly. Wood's resolutions, it
struck me, were badly met on our side of the
House. The laying of 'them upon the table,-
on motion of Thaudeus Stevens, exhibited a
tear of investigation unworthy of a party
which has been foremost in investigations.
Why not let Mr. Wood have his committee
as desired, and by a unanimous vote ? Such
a course would disarm the copperhead move
of its sting and prove to the country that the
Union men even when in power are as anx
ious to ferret out all frauds as when they arc
in opposition. Mr. Washburn, of Illinois,
and some few other Union" men, took this
r|pw of the case, and ia so doing showed
their cood sense and sound statesmanship,
ifthe “Gentleman in Black” himself call for
an investigation, let him have it- Corrup
tions arc incidental to all parties and. all
times. They can only be successfully ’dealt
with by a frank determination on tbe part of
good men of all parties to ferret out the per
petrators and bring them ta merited punish
ment The Union men who voted for Wood’s
resolution are: Messrs. Fenton, N. Y.;
Dawes, Moss.; Grider, Ky., and Washbume,
Mr. Wocd claims thafi’his resolutions are
respectfully worded and that his intention in.
offering them was honest. I have reasons to
know that a committee of thlsjdnd would
he a movement highly satisfactory to the
President himself. The copperheads to-day
claim that the. moving of these resolutions
and the manner. in which they were met by
the Union men bos been the first substantial
triumph they have achieved this session.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Several members have offered joint resolu
tions providing for amendments to the Con
stitution to abolish slavciy. I, however, look
upon them all as fio much time and effort
wasted. To amend the Constitution requires
a vote of two-thirds of both houses of-Con
gress, so an application from two-thirds of
the Legislatures of the several States, to call
a convention for amendments, which after
wards must be ratified by the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the States or by conventions
In three-fourths of. them. Now, it is plain
that no amendment abolishing slavery can
obtain any such ratification as is above re
quired. •Therefore, why take up time with
thnt wbich con never accomplish the end
sought? *
BEKATE COKFIKMATIOKSI
It !s rumored that the Senate will refuse to
confirm a large number of Major and Briga
dier Generals; at least fire of the former and
twenty of the latter. Among the former the
.name of Gen. Schofield is prominently men-'
tioned. It should become in mind that in
making these promotions the President hod
to balance the claims of political and military
supporters of various officers. If be refused
to promote the political Generals, the Sena
tors and Representatives opened their batte
ries. If he refused to promote the military,
the officers of the army, opened theirs. In
all these promotions the President tried to
do the best lie could under the circumstances.
If some incompetent men were promoted, it
is a fact incident to all wars in all countries.

Gen. Grant, within a few days, has written
a letter to the President, endorsing Ms Mes
sage and Proclamation. He is virtually with
Mr. Lincoln on all measures ,he h** taken for
the suppression ol the rebellion. Letters'of
the same tenor are coming in at the White
Bouse from other Generals in the field. I
may also inform you of a fiict not generally
known, and it is, that Gen. Grant some time
in August last-wrote Mr. Lincoln a letter, in
which he says that the Emancipation P/tx&i
--ination and the arming of the negroes were two of
the deadliest Wows abiud at tf»e rebellion. Li the
same letter be goes on to state that be is not
able to obtain as many negroes as ho desires,
be<jau6e the rebels run them off into the inte
rior; but he hoped to be able todo so when
.be got ihrthcr into the enemy’s country. An
' extract from this letter was actually incorpo
rated, word for word, by Mr. Lincoln into
bis celebrated letter to the Springfield (HL)-
Msss Union Convention. Lct the New York
Herald make a note of the above. If the Cop

they will have to so* modify their platform,
that all good .Union men can cheerfully

THE BOUNTIES TO TOLUN*
TEEKS.
Letter from Secretary Cliaae to Senator
Fessenden.'
On Wednesday lust, while the joint resolu
tion to continue the bounties of volunteers
was pending in tin? Senate, Mr, Fessenden
sent the following letter to the Chair to be
read for the information ol the Senate:
Tbeascbv DcrAirrsiusT, Jan. 11, IS6L
Sm—On receiving from you copies of Sen
ate joint resolution No. 9 and llouse joint
resolution No. 16, relating to bounties, with
your letter inquiring “ whether there are any
considerations arising from the condition of
the Treasury which will make the passage of
cither resolution dangerous or particularly in
expedient at the present time, and also re
questing such suggestions with regard to any
modification of either resolution or to. the
whole subject matter as may occur to me, 1 * I
addressed a note to the Secretary of war,
asking for such Information as ip the amount
which will probably bo required for the pay
ment of the bounties proposed, the periods at
which the money will be wanted, and the
proportion of the whole amount likely to be
derived for commutation for drafted men, as
would enable me to make a proper reply to
your letter.
The Seceetory of War In answer to my note
says: •
“It is understood that 50.000. veteran vol
unteers have been or mav be enlisted from
the onflics in the field* Twenty-one million
dollars would be required for the whole
bounty to that number; 810,500,000 would be
required for the installments falling due the
hret year.
** There ore two other classes of volunteers
besides what are called veterans:
44 L Those who volunteer to fill up old
regiments.
44 2. Recruits for new organizations.
44 To those who go Into into old regiments
S3OO is allowed-by general circular No. 93;
but to new recruits onlv the*sum of SIOO
payable under the act of July, 186 L
14 The Department lies labored to confine
the volunteering to veterans and to filling up
the old regiments. ,A few new organizations
were authorized before the present system
w’as adopted.
“The number that will volunteer for old
regiments or new organizations cannot at
present, with any certainty, be estimated.
Rot in most of the States vigorous efforts
arc being made by executive and municipal
authorities to flu up the whole quota.”
From this statement it* appears that $31,-
OCO,OCO will probably be wanted for bounties
to veterans. The sum likely to bo required
for recruits to fill, up old regiments is not
stated; but if the numbcr.be assumed os
equal to theitamber of veterans expected to
re-jcnlist, the. amount required for their boun
ties will bo $16,750,009. If one.': hundred
thousand men are thus obtained, and the re
mainder of .the. three hundred thousand men
called for be filled up by volunteers for new
(srealization s, thc further sum of $3,000,000
The addition, therefore, of three hundred
thousand volunteers to the army as veterans,
recruits for old regiments, and recruits for
new organizations, will require appropria
tions 'lor bounties* to the amount of $56.-
736,000. *
Rut, if I understand the Secretary of War
correctly, the sum of $21,000,000 includes
$5,CC0,010 for the bounty of 100 to each mg™
allowed by law to all recruits, excepting col
ored; alike, whether volunteers or drafted
men. So, too, the estimates of. $15,730,000 ■
for recruits to old regiments includes $5,000,-
CCO of usual bounties; while the sum of $20,-
000,000 for two bundred thousand recruits fora
new organizations is wholly made up of like
bounties.
If, therefore, the estimate of fifty thousand
veteran recruits and fifty thousand • recruits
for. old regiments be correct, the whole
amount required under existing laws in or
der to the raising of the same number of men,
is $26,750,000, of which sum about $15,000,
CCO will ho required during the present year.
Taking these figures to be correct, I reply
to your Inquiries that I do not think there
are any considerations arising from the con
dition of the Treasury which will make the
passage of either resolution dangerous or par
ticularly inexpedient
I must not omit however, to observe that
any additions to the appropriations demand
ed by existing estimates enhance the’difficul
ty of obtaining-the vast sums required to sat
isfy them. •’ * - . ,
The first duty of the Republic to Its soldiers
and sailors is prompt payment and sure sup
plies. Payments cannot be prompt nor sup
plies sure if appropriations exceed the prob
ability of certain provision. 1 •* ■
The estimates heretofore submitted require
from loasy' of the last seven months of the fis
cal year lb«, $352,226,539, or $50,318,079 a
month. If vigor and decision and earnestness
in the work or suppressing the rebellion shall
be attended with marked progress toward its
consummation, these large sums, and the ad- ;
dltional sums required for bounties, can prob
ably be obtained at reasonable rates.
Cut the whole of these additional sums, as
well as eveiy other amount, added to expen
ditures heyoud estimates, should he raised by
■ taxation. No uncertainty can be safely al
lowed to attend the question of prompt pay
ment Delay of payment, and doubts os to
its certainty, chill the qrdor ol the best
soldiers, create dissatisfaction in the minds
of dealers with tbe Government,'enhance
prices of supplies j and invite deterioration of
their quality.
I trust, therefore, that the Committee on
Finance will accompany any report that may
"he made of the resolutions referred to it with
some resolutions pledging the faith of Con
frees to raise by taxation, beyond the $161,-
5C8,5C0.35, heretofore estimated, as the pro
portion of this" years'' disbursements to -bo
provided in this mode, eveiy dollar which
maybe appropriated beyond the estimates
submitted at the commencement of the ses
sion. • *
All considerations of pmdence and econo*
my, require this legislation. • It will bo im
possible to raise larger sums by loans much
longer nnlces large sums are also raised by
taxation. In the report submitted to Con
gress at the commencement of the session. I
ventured to say, “It Is hardly too much—
perhaps hardly enough—to say that every
dollar raised for extraordinary expenditures
or reduction of debt is worth two in the in
creased facilities foi thenegotiatlon of indis
pensable loans.” Reflection and observation
since have satisfied me that under onr pre
sent circumstances the remark is an under
statement of the truth. .

Secretary of Abe Treasury.

had beenln business in that city for nearly
half a century.
Spceeb of Senator VUmd an hla Bno*
% latlon to Expel Garret JDarU.
Mr. Sumner (Adm., Maaa.)moved, afchalf
pftst twelve, to take Mr.. Wilson’s resolution
expelling Mr. Daria. Adopted.
SPEECH OF HE. WILBOIT.
Mr. Wilson said, on the sth of January the
Senator from Kentucky laid upon jour table'
a senes of seventeen resolutions, and the
Senate-in compliance with his request, or
dered them to be printed. These resolutions
were placed upon our desks, and they hare
been read by Senators, who have the courage
to Impose upon themselves a task so calcu
lated to tax their powers of endurance.
Having a reasonable degree of confidence In
my own powers of endurance, I entered
jipon the task of reading those resolves
aimed at the President and his Cabinet, too
majority in these chambers, the laws of Con
gress, the Proclamation and orders of the
Commander-in-Chief of our Army and Navy,
and of all who were clothed with authority
to administer the Government. I gropqp
through this mass of vituperative accusa
tions with mingled emotions of indignation
and pity. In this farrago of spleen and
malice the Chief Magistrate, his. as
sociates . and supporters ore accused,
arraigned, condemned. The heroes
of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Port
Chattanooga, and fields made immo -tal by
their, endurance and valor; jthe heroes 'who'
rescued Kentucky—rescued even the hearth
stones of that senator from rebel desecration
—are branded as subsidized armies; and toe
men who, at Fort Hudson; MUUken’a Bend
and Wagner, fought .with, heroic valor," are’
stigmatized as negro janizaries. After hurl
ing his accusations at the President and his
supporters in toe Cabinet and in toe field,
the Senator turns to the people of the loyal
North, and calls upon them to revolt against
their war leaders, take the power Into their
own bonds, and go into a National Conven
tion to terminate the war. Should the loyal
people of the JJnitcd States act up to bis de
claration; should they bo incited to‘revolt
top President and bis constitutional
advisers, and take the power in their "own
hands, assemble in a National Convention, a
convention unknown to the Constitution and
laws, to terminate this war for the preserva
tion of the Union, the fields of the loyal
States will he reddened with the blood of
civil war.
He ssks the Senate of the United States,
-with their oaths of fidelity to the Constitu
tion recorded, .to proclaim to the American
people the unconstitutional, revolutionary
and treasonable doctrine that they ought to'
revolt and assume the powers they, have del
egated under the Constitution of the United
States to paen who now fill the executive,
legislative and judicial departments of the
Government. -
■ In the sixteenth section he calls the bloody
insurrection of the rebels “a revolt,” thereby
showing that he knew the -meanlng of this
word revolt when he urged it as a duty upon
the loyal people of the United State.
The Senator must not trifle here. He most
remember that this is the Senate of the Uni
ted States, and not a barbecue in Kentucky.
The Senators cannot fall here to comprehend
•the import and meaning of the words and
phrases embodied in these resolutions, and
they know that these are the words and
phrases of statesmen, and not the idle bab
* blings of fools. When by toe express words
ofhls resolution the Senator from Kentucky
declares that the people of the North ought
to rpvoH against their war. leaders, and take
this great matter into their, own
hands, he must be held to have in
tended that they should rise In Insurrection
-against tbelr war leaders and abjure their
allegiance to the government of their country,
for that is the precise import and meaning of
this word “revolt” in toe - connection in
which the scnatorliao used it. ThatthcScn
atorfrom Kentucky means by the term “War
leaders” the President and others subordi
nate to him in authority, and that the people
should revolt against them, Is not and cannot
be open to doubt. To make good theso
charges of the subversion of the Constitution
and laws, rights, and liberties of the people,
and to fire toe popular h6ort of the North for
the revolt proposed and advised to - be a high
duty, It is farther declared in the resolutions
that the President of the United States and
the civil and military officers thereof may*
treason against any State whose gov
ernment is in performance ©fits duties under
the Federal Constitution.. by levying war
against it or adhering to its enemies, giving
■them aid and comfort, as resisting with an
armed force the execution of its laws, or ad
hering to such armed force, giving it aid and
comfort. That no man of the millions of the
north tons Invited by the Senator to revolt
and take the powers of government Into
their own hands may be mistaken as to the
“warleaders” against whom they are told
they ought to rise in insurrection, in the 17th
resolution it is further declared that the
•people >of the loyal States are resolved
into two great parties, the destructives and
the conservatives; the first, the destructives
consist of Abraham Lincoln, his office-hold
ers, contractors, and othcrrfbllowcrs. Their
real objects are to perpetuate their party
power and to hold possession of the govern
ment, to continue the. aggrandizement of
their leaders, both great and small, by almost
countless ollices and employments, by my
riads of plundering contracts, and by patting
up to sole the largest amount of spoils that
were ever offered to market by any govern
ment on earth. Their object is * * ♦ to
destroy or banish and strip of their property
fc all the pro-slavery people, secessionists, and
anti-secession, loyal and disloyal combatants
and non-combatants, and to distribute toe
lands of the subjugated people, as-was done
by the Koman conquerors, to their own
countrymen; also to enslave the- white
by trampling under foot the laws and the
Constitutions of the United States and the
States by the power of his subsidized army; ,
and lest it should falter,* by hundreds* of |
thousands of negro janizaries, organized for
that purpose by the Secretary of War and the
adjutant-general. But,* says the Senator,
verily the people ought to revolt against the
President and his followers, because he has
thus suppressed the freedom of elections in
Delaware, Maryland, Missouri andKcntucky,
because his object is backed by a subsidized
Qimy and hundreds of thousands of negro
janizaries to perpetuate his power, *
If the Senate should passthese resolutions,
as the Senator from Kentucky proposes It
shall do, con any man doubt that the Sena
tors voting for their passage would, before
God and their country, bo guilty of.inciting
or attempting to incite the people to revolt
against their duly chosen President and the
executive officers clothed with authority un
derhim? . - •
The Senate ought not, in my Judgment, to
tolerate for a day or for an hoar in this cham
ber any roan who dares thus to betray the
high trust of too people.
The Sepate of the United States, in ihis
“dark and troubled night” of our history,
owes it to the country whose Constitution It
has sworh to support, that prospects of con
spiracy against the constituted authorities
sbojl not btsthrust upon it by Its own mem
bers.
In other days these chambers rang with
.menaces of disunion and civil war. The
men who uttered these words of meditated
treason told the people of the South what
the Senator frpm Kentucky now tells the
people of the North, that they flnirht to re-.
Toll against the Government and" take the
matter Into their own hands. Under the
lead of these rebel chiefs, whose treasonable
words once rang through these halls of legis
lature, the people of the South did revolt
Against the Government, and took the power
into .their own hands, and plunged the nation
into the crimes and horrors of civil war.
Whoamongiis does hot now regret that
the Senate ol the United States did not hurl
headlong from this chamber those rebel
chiefs, even as the rebel angels were hurled
from the battlements of heaven ? Bat these
dlsloya> leadcre, these champions of the
sjavc-mongcr, whose hearts, were spell
ing with treason, never made in the Senate a
proposition so unconstitutional and revolu
tionary, treasonable and wicked, os is this
proposition of the Senator from Kentucky.
How sublime a thing it would bo in this
crisis of our country lor the Senate of the
United States to rise to the heights of stern
and lofty dnty, and cast out one who has
darfed tell a loyal people to revolt against
their government and take its powers into
their own hands. Such an act of avenging
patriotism would fire the loyal heart of
America, silence the mutterings of treason,
and nerve the arms, of tbc heroes who are
battling and bleeding for the unity of the
republic. • *

Satuedat Evented, Jan- 16.1381.
This evening close* a week 01 severe ■mogoacy la
tie money market. Operators bare found it impossi
ble to find adequate accommodations. If Indeed they
could find any. The cause of the stringency has been
heretofore alluded to, but wo repeat two of the most
prominent, tlz : a refusal of eastern baaVn to rdAlis*
count produce paper, thereby forcing our bankers to
carry- the vast amounts of produce In the bands of
westers holders and operators; and second, overtrad
ing In almost all departments; and perhaps there should
be added the Diet that business Is now done almost
entirely on a cash basis, thereby requiring vastly more'
funds to do it. Bow long this stringency most last no
ohe'dares to predict; but most of oar financiers
money will he much easier within the next thirty days.

We learn that a new feature has* been introduced
Into the New Tork money morket, and there Is some
talk, of Its becoming the practice here. -The bankers
, and brokers are requiring interest .on. call loans to.be
paid In coin. This may have something to do with the
sodden rise In gold. Tbo practice is borrowed from
the 5*20 system of Mr. Chase, and-may tend to check
transactions in Ihoso bonds, for .if capitalists and
bankers con get 7 per cent and even' more la coin,
loans will become better than the; 530*. The fact,
however, that Government 5-20* have'tb* property of
the entire nation for security will always’ make them
the favorite Investment, above mere Individual loans.

Blßuflsfa and the United States.
Tbe relations existing between Russia and tbe Uni
ted States are tbe subject of of much interest at the
present time. Our commercial relations with' Russia
have been constantly and rapidly increasing. In 1363
there were 84 cotton mills In that country, rnuniai
l,<CO,OOOsplndles; three years previously' there wore
hut fifty-five. In 1814 less than 8,000400 pounds of cot
ton were used; In 1859 more than 43,000,000 pounds.
In 1849, our exports to Russia were little more than
one million dollars; In IBS) tte exports were more
than $5,000406. Oar exports are mainly agricultural,
and so are f theirs, hence our exchanges are not large’
In amount. - • • -
Tbe amount of her agricultural exports will aston
ish many Americans, who are little aware, of her pro*
ductlvewcaltb. TheDepartmeut of Agriculture has
established a system of exchange with onr Consuls
abroad by which foreign agricultural statistics have
been obtained, and from Information received from
Thnott; C. Smith, our Consul at Odessa,'by that de

NEW YOIIK DRY (iOODS HAItRET.
[From the K. Y, Independent, Jan. iith.i
The year has opened .actively. Jobbers are lar-e
.borers o£ staple. harenS ■
downward tendency, bnt arc rather tending noward
The impedimenta to our receiving cotton from Sj
Sooth, even by the now “open" AUuboippi. are too
great to he overcome. Goods are scarce for the de
mand ; the receivers of goods are asking n rices:
the business both In woolen and cotton goods has fbr
the past week been very large, and, trade may bo de
scribed shortly as brisk at buoyant prices. FriaUhavo
been taken largely from drat hands, at some advance.
-The demand for actnal wants is suiDcicnt to make a
largo trade without any demand for stock, which few
dealers like to do.. Desirable styles arc taken quickly
op oo arrival in market. Jobbers have bought heavi
ly. Brown and bleached shirtings and sheetings ore in
good demand at an advance of KQlc; drills arc quick
of sale, with a light supply; scripts and ticks arc ac
tive. In woolens there is a ready demand for delaines
at SOc.'of desirable styles; fancy eosslmeres of the
ugbt kinds are very active; city jobbers and clothiers
have been buying heavily without hesitation as-to
price for desirable styles; spring styles are no: super-,
abundant, and will meet a very general demand when
they are brought freely into market, which Is ripe for
them; satinets arc in limited demand; spring cloak
ings arc wanted, the supply is limited; spring shawls
arc also selling hy/amplci*, the ataortment of which la
largo und good. Foreign goods are no; so active; the
clothiers are the chief buyers. -Gla-igow ginghams are
act ive. British dress goods are coming freely forward,
and win present a liberal and attractive assortment.
Silks are Heady. The Spring trade bids fair to bo
good. The country seems short of stock, and Is pre
pared for a large consumption, though prices be high,
uhile gold is at 52 per cent, the rates of foreign ex
change must he In full proportion, and thna a hl»h
cost of Importation Is inevitable., This rather favors
the home manufacturer, yet the demand keens ud for
nearly all kinds of foreign fabrics. • •- *7 *

SaxirßDATETcrnro, Jaa.l6.-The receipts of Hogs
during the week ending this evening bear very favor
able comparison with the receipts of the preceding
week: and very plainly, show that much baa bedn
- done la the way of clearing the various lines of ml
i way of snow with .which for some days they hod been
effectually blockaded, to the Inconvenience and loss
of thousands of ourWestertt population; but placed
by tbe side of the receipts ot the corresponding week
of lost year they sink Into comparative Insignifi
cance, amounting to. less - than one-four.‘h of what
those were. But comparing our receipts 'from Octo
ber!, 16CS. op to the present time with the correspond
ing period of last season, we are considerably ahead,
as no less than hogs more have been-received
during this than the preceding season.. It is how
ever pretty evident that onr receipts of live Hogs for
.(haremalnder of the season’will be comparatively
light. This will not not only result from the remaining
sal ply through the country being smaller than it was
; at this time last year; but that from the difficulty of
, obtaining; railway accommodation for shipping live
In seme parts of the hog districts, they are being kill
•edand packed where they are On the Hannibal and
St. Joseph Bail way plena many thousands of hogs ore
being packed that were bought for shipment to this
msrkethad therebeen railway facilities for forward
ing them. Tbe snow storm of the Slst ultimo, has al
so materially affected the transmlsalofi of hogs to this
marketbyrendertngnotonlyraUroads but all otter
roads Impassable, a large- number of tbe latter re
maing even to the present time. On Thursday even'
lag last a rather heavy fall of snow took place be
tween Arlington'and Mendoto, a fair quantity of
which, drifting into the deep cuttings of tte Barling
ton Railway, completely blocked up tte line for some
hoars;flve trains ofllve stock were kept back and
.arrived here about 2 o'clock this morning having been
' detained from 18 to 88 Hours, fortunately with no other ’
loss. The general receipts for tte week-have been
-more regular as well as more liberal, and although
‘ ttero has been a fair amount of activity in the market,
still it has been evident that the high rates which have
been obtained for the past fortnight were about as un
popular ns they well could be. Still with small re
ceipts for tte demand, sellers have held their ground
firmly, and It has boen with difficulty that any conces
sion has been obtained.'. This was especially the case
fa the early part of the week when the shipping de
mand alone would have absorbed considerably more
than the entire receipts of the. market; SfaccThurs
day competition has been less active and a redaction
on previous rates of 23 to Ssc per 100 Us from’common
to prime bogs has been conceded. There were In-the
yards this morning upwards of 4,000 bogs, and daring

• S 0 ** The general receipts’ will
bear favorable .comparison with any former perlodj
consisting as they do of so large a proportion of prime
and .extra qualities. Of tte rccelptaof the week there
arc about 1400 hogs left over , unsold In tbe various
yards, most of which arrived after the principal bus!-
- ness of the day was over. - ’ The market has been tot
ersbly active to-day—packers have been buying more
freely. There has been no dccline_OD yesterday’s quo

• Sattetat Eteeiso, January 18.—With modi mild
er and more endurable weather throughout the week,
together with a . Ihr better supply of stock,
the market baa again began 'to aa
assnme Its wonted appearance. With many dlaad*
vantages, peculiar to the present and past few weeks*
there has been a tolerable amount of activity In the
marketwhlch baa resulted In the sale of the whole of
the receipts, and not a few of them several times over.
With shippers the urgent demand Is not so much at
present for more stock, hot for more cars and greater
facilUldfortheahlpmcnt of stock when required;
that being obtained, huger -receipts win bo need*
cd. With no want of activity In the marked
dnrlng ( tbe week, it.haa been fbond that the
high rates which were obtained for Beef Cattle sab
sequent to the Slat ultimo could not be sustained,
and a decline of SOQMc upon former quotations has
neen the result. At present rates the market rules
mere steadily and a ranch better agreement appears
