Cljicagcr WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20,1861 PBEBIDENT LINCOLN. In both France and England, parties are discuss lug the character of onr Presidential trying id come to some conclusion as to his rank among men of ability and renown. The conviction seems to be working its way that there is more of him than be has had credit for. A very considerable number hare al ready reached the conclusion that he is one of the few truly great men of the earth. Oth ers think him “ quite a smart man,” consid ering his advantages, and bis early deficien cies ot education; others cannot make much of him any way; while the tory party still charge him with all that is brutal, andwickcd, and disgusting. Wc easily understand the sources of oil these vailed opinions. It Las'been the inter est of a great faction to disparage and abuse Mr. Lincoln. The rebels, as ono man, took to bating him the moment he was nominated for the Presidency. They did this both from reeling and policy. They need their hatred of ulm.to plunge, jbeir States into secession. They began by charging him with all the traits of imbecility and villainy for which they knew any epithets. They made him a drunkard, a baboon, and a beast At home and abroad, they have never ceased to accuse him. And as their cmmlssarics swarmed in Europe, with the express purpose of manu facturing and shaping opinion there, their accusations have not failed to prodace effect A man so bitterly assailed, it was believed, must be guilty in some degree as charged. 80 much smoke betokens fire. At home, Mr. Lincoln has had to bear the dislike wMch comes of political opposition. He was on old Whig, and the candidate of the Republicans. Of course, tbe Democrats would uot naturally like him. lie had been the especial opponent of Mr. Douglas, in a very exciting campaign. The friends of tl»t -chief would naturally be suspicious of Mm; and though they might fall in to sustain Ms war policy, the old political jealousy would not at once die out. Hence, the whole country has been in some doubt, with due exceptions, as in what rank he ought to be placed.’ Nor is the matter entirely settled yet In- deed, no man's character is fully settled until he is dead, and the possibility utterly gone, of his doing anything more to overturn the good name he may have acquired. But some things are as well settled in Mr. Lincoln's case os arc usually done while one lives; and arc as little likely to be reversed, os in the cases of most men. Is be a great man ? What constitutes greatness in men ? He docs not. of course, fIU out every ideal of charac ter. Daniel Webster, tbe .traitor John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, and General Andrew Jackson, were all great men, and all quite unlike each other. There are men in public life to-day, who excel Mr Lincoln in some departments where special,abilities are re quired. Very possibly he has not the finan cial ability of Mr. Chase, the administra tive power of Gen. Butler, or the military talent of Gen. Grant. He certainly has not that breadth of philosophy wMch character izes 31r. Seward. But whatever he is, Ms ability is *ui ycnerit; it is Ms own. As to its size, color, and quality, Europe, having little to do in these days, may settle it to their liking. But we who have to do with him, are tolerably well satisfied with him in certain particulars. Nevertheless, we are free to say, that we do not desire to set him up as an Idol, lest we might spoil him; or lest, as when the nation took to worship ping old General Harrison, Heaven might take him away from us as a punishment for oar idolatry. • Among Mr. Lincoln’s traits then we name the following. 1. Mental Sagacity, This is a com prehensive term; bntin his case, it means' a power to look into the center of things. His mind is of the penetrative cast, and seems to us to stand in the front rank of that class of minds. He can untie hard knots. He does not bushwhack about a question, but goes to the center Of it at once, and with those parts of it which give difficulty to common men, as a good physician, who hears a long winded stoiy from a patient, of aches and alls endurcdfknows how to sdect at once the few points which really concern the case; as a good lawyer, listening to a long yam of im materialities from a client, seizes on the one pivot where it all turns, bnt which the cli ent never thinks of at aIL So Mr. Lincoln’s mind instinctively gets at the tnu question. Ton may call this a high ora low trait of mind; but it is one of the rarest Accuracy is talent, and the talent of the fewest minds. 2. His mind is also of the practical cast It seeks for truths which are to be realized in acts. Be is not a theorist Hadhe been an ed ucated man in the commonaccept&tion of the term, he night have been spoiled, inasmuch as his tendency is to ideas, rather than to ac tion ; but his early indigence compelled him to grapple with realities, and to deal with des tiny iu actual hand-grips; and so forced him to be practical, whether he would or not Wc bad a fear when ho commenced his ad ministration, that be would fail in his admin istrative ability. Bnt the truth is, tbe gov ernment docs not all rest upon one man; and Mr. Lincoln’s ideas can be put in practice by men of more activity and aggressive en ergy than himself. i>. Be possesses further mental integrity. Not that he possesses all the quota of mental qualities possible to be enumerated. But bis mind is sound. It acts harmoniously with Itself. It seeks truth; and truth satis fice it If a thing be true and right, that Is the cod of the question; and Mr. Lincoln cannot and don’t try to chase it any farther. 4. And hence, his mental constitution is in agreement with his moral sentiments. His mind is foil ofjaintas and candor. Probably no man bes ever been in public life in this country who excelled him in this particular. Since this war begun, he has courted and re ceived the support of former political oppo nents. We do not rememberto have seen the charge of any unfairness on his part, toward any man, on account of former political views.' Among his strongest friends are former Breckinridge men, Douglas men, Radicals, and Conservatives and all alike trust him. You may count this trait too,, as high or low, but it is certainly very rare. 5. As the last of his traits now to be men tioned, is his well known honesty. This is no new or late tharectcristlc. It is his old title at home with his neighbors. It is carried in to public life; and now among the brood of gigantic thieves, educated for twenty years, and seizing upon the great opportunities which the war presents, and swarming about the capital and through the land, no who knows Abraham Lincoln, believes that a scale as thick as foil, sticks to.hls fingers; or that he knowingly permits, or winks at it, in others. These qualities are not always the most shining,and arc sometimes slow In getting re cognition of the world. And especially, when, as with him, they are associated with a person, physically ungainly; with a want of that polish which a certain style of edu cation and advantage impart; when they are associated with a broad wit, and with that habit and love of blunt ways, begotten in frontier life, and nurtured with the rough as sociations of western fields, rivers, endjeourt rooms—in such circumstances, people to whom conventionalism- is law, have to look twice, *before they see what may still be seen. But good and honest men, who have come near to Mr. Lincoln, have, from the first, come away with favorable impres sions of b!m. And thus bis reputation steadily grown, day by day. Anfl already bin nomination and election for a second term is on assured thing, and will apparently come about as naturally as the changes of the sea sons, or the rising of the sun. As to wbat Europe will say of him, ho trouble need be bad by him or bis friends. If the stare shine, somebody will see the light; and they who are a little further will see it about as well, In time, as those who enjoy a nearer view. THE NAVY EXPENSES. The Senate Naval Committee are busy ex amining witnesses on the subject of the enor mous appropriation demanded for tint arm of the sen-ice. It is sold that numerous cur tailments will be reported, and, also, that the committee will report adversely to the build ing of a certain cl*ss of steam ships recom mended by the Navy Department. These are understood to be the large iron and wooden war steamers, about which there was consid erable controversy recently. They nre of im mense size, deep draft, doubtful utility, and cost enormously. They can be of no sort of use against the rebels, as there is not a port or harbor in possession of the hitter which they can enter. They arc intended for some foreign future war, which the Secretary thinks may occur; either that or fat Jobs for favorite contractors. One thing is certain, they ore not wanted for the present war, and the finances of the country cannot afford thla unnecessary expenditure. The Navy Department last year asked for inruty-cne million! and got it, and soon used it up, but emboldened by the ease with which the money was obtained, this year it demands one hundred and for iy-tw> million*. Next year it will perhaps ask for three hundred millions. Now Is the time to pot a stop to this extravagance. Congress should cut down the estimates to the amounts seeded to operate to advantage DgiJnetthe rebellion and not allow a cent more. Uwt of the work remaining must bo performed by the army. It la difficult to conceive of another port that the nary can take. It is at the end of Its string In that re spect. Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington, Mobile and Galveston will have to be redneed by the army. Monitors and Iron-cl&ds are not a match for powerful sand batteries arm ed with ten-inch rifle cannon. . , Tbe country now possesses six hundred V( ssels of war, which Is far moro than can he employed against the rebels. Why should wc scores of war ships at an pause of half a, million for the smaller and two millions each for the larger craft ? Let ns wait until this war is dosed and the se ceded (States restored to the Union, before we go into training to fight John 801 l or Louis Napoleon. One war at a time Is enough. In the present inflated state of the currency and scarcity of ship builders, it costs twice or thrice os much to build and equip a war steamer as it will after the rebel lion is ended. We hope Congress will cut down the appropriation demanded at least onohall All expenditures foreverybrunch of service must be reduced to the lowest practi cable sums. The way to carry the coun try safely and triumphantly through the crisis is, to lay on more taxes, cut down all expenses to the utmost, fill up the army, and make a grand combined movement on the rebels when the campaign season opens. THU LAMAR LEXTERS. Herewith we print another batch of the in tercepted Lamar letters, wMch shed new light upon the blockade running business. As in dicating tbe perplexing difficulties under wMch King Cotton labors, the vicissitudes of the rebel loan, the anxiety of Copperheads in New York and elsewhere to turn a penny by helping on their Southern brethren ‘in the strict line of business, and especially the du plicity of Englishmen of the Laird stripe, they are valuable and important. Mr. Jingle, as described by that great historian of the Pickwick Club, had an easy road to travel os compared with tbe Lamars and the loan and cotton agents of Davis. We commend them especially to onr readers as important links in the history of the rebellion, fastening John Bolls, rebels and Copperheads into the same chain IST*The “Democratic” and Conservative members of Congress” have at lost contrived a resolution upon wMch they ore all agreed. They have adopted it unanimously and are harmonious.- Here it is: Jletdred, That we are for the restoration *of all the States to the Union; that true patriotism and true statesmanship demand that such policy be pursued toward the people of the States in which the insurrection exists as shall behest calcu lated to bring the expensive and exhausting war in which we are now engaged to a close, anl to re store said States-to the Union under the Constitu tion, with all the constitutional rights of the poo pie unimpaired. • The Republicans join the “ Democrats” and Conservatives on this platform. It expresses exactly what they desire and what they are trying to do. They are ardent “ for the res toration of all the States to the Union,” and they advocate and demand that “such policy shall he pursued towards the people of the insurrectionary States as shall be best calcu lated to bring the war to a close, and restore said States to the Union.’* With this great object steadfastly in vicW ;thc Republican party have adopted the most efficient policies in their power to reduce the rebels to submis sion to the constitution and the laws. They began by trying the easy methods proposed by the Copperheads, but it was like throwing grass at the boy in the tree stealing apples, filling the traitors - with langhter and con tempt at the Government Stronger policies are now being tried with the happiest effect The army is no longer employed guarding the property of traitors; nor in catching and returning loyal negroes to disloyal claimants; but the property of rebels is confiscated for the support of our armies, and the Union men of the rebel States whether white or black are enlisted into the Federal service to help reduce the guilty insurgents to submis sion to the laws. And when the war is over, peace restored and the Union saved, the mas ses of the rebels will be allowed to exercise and enjoy every constitutional right and priv ilege accorded to the great loyal masses of the North. Monopolies and special privile ges will not be confered on pardoned traitors, and four millions of loyal colored people who will have assisted in putting down the rebellion and saving the Republic i cm not be in violation of the Constitution, justice and and humanity, reduced to chattel bondage by the Government and handed over to 250,000 subdued rebels in order to restore and per petuate a mean aristocracy, and an abhor rent special privilege. The “ Constitution was ordained” by the fathers, “in order to form a more perfect Union, establish jus tice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, pbomote the general welfakb, and SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR POSTERITY.” And when the Union is restored It is intended by the Republicans that it shall be placed on this constitutional platform and administered thereafter in this spirit. Dinner to Gen. Burnside. An informal complimentary dinner was given to Gen. Bnrnslde, a few days ago in New York, by prominent citizens. The Gen eral gave some deeply Interesting reminis cences of tie perfect and self-sacrificing loy alty of the people of East Tennessee, of the siege of Knoxville, and of his command in Cincinnati. East Tennesseeans, lor instance, when the Union armies swept their farms clean of subsistence, would say, “It’s hard. General, to be sure; but tlumk God, the Tan did it I” And during the siege of Knox ville, most Reasonable and huge supplies were constantly floated down to the town on the river past the besieger’s pickets through the fogs, from a region actually patrolled by rebel cavalry. The General said of the siege of Knoxville, that after all, there was no great merit in holding it, “ because wc were or dered to!” After explaining bow the deten tion of Lougstreet before Knoxville, enabled Grant to complete his success at Chattanoo ga, Gen. Burnside paid a noble tribute to the private soldiers, whom he called the real he roes of the war, “ fighting where they encoun ter twenty bullets for one that comes near me, and with no prospect if they fall, better than a nameless grave.” Then followed a brief allusion to hispcWcyln arresting Yal landlgbam, of striking at the leaders, and a curious story of that Copperhead’s arrest It was threatened that he would be rescued; so he was put in the room immediately above Gen. Burnside’s in the hotel, two floors higher, a company of regulars quartered in the hotel, and a Corporal and seven men In the room opposite Vallandigham’s, having express orders to do anything to prevent the prisoner from leaving that room, A serenade to Valiandlgham was proposed, but given up when Gen. Burnside advised the proposers that this regular corporal didn’t know any thing in the world, except to obey orders, and that there was -danger that he might think a rescue was intended, and that Valfan dlgham might unhappily meet with some ac cident. The bill Form. A Washington letter says the President has had several thousand copies of his proclama tion of December Bth, declaring an amnesty to all rebels of the rank of Colonel and un der, providing they take a prescribed oath, printed in huge type in the shape ol a hand bill, and at the end of the proclamation is the following: u The book wherein to record the taiHng of the above oath by such persons as may apply is in the custody of at—-—, who is authorized to administer the said oath to such persons of that vicinity, and is re quired to give every person requesting it a certificate m form below, and which certifi cate shall be. nntil some other mode of proof eh&Ube authoritatively provided, sufficient evidence of the facts certified to entitle the holder to the benefits as provided in said proclamation: . Ui CenTiriCATß.—l do hereby certify that on ——dayof 386—,at—,the oath presented by the President of the United States in his pro clamation 01 December eighth, eighteen hundred and slzty-thrce, was doly taken, subscribed and made matter of record, by— M This has been done by the President, as thousands of the people In the South will never have any other opportunity of. seeing it. The army advancing into the South with the Amnesty Proclamation on the points of their bayonets wiQ prove the best of circula tors, and will give the rebels a chance to .take either the Amnesty or the bayonet. .By all means give out the proclamations, start the carriers, and give the rebels their choice. tsy**The rebel Secretary of the Treasury says that unless his proposed loan of a thou sand millions shall be taken up by April next, the dilapidated Southern Confederacy will tumble to pieces; the rebel Secretary of War says'that unless the tanners are made to disgorge their provisions, the Confederacy wilWio of starvation; the rebel Senator Wig tall says that unless they enforce the con scription of every while man they can lay hold of; capable of hearing arms, their Con federacy will surely go to the dogs. Let it tumble, die and go. tgy Arrangements arc making for another grand fair in Northern Ohio In aid of the San itary Commission. A building will be erect ed on the park in Cleveland, Inclosing tbe Ferry monument, covering an area of twenty five thousand feet, for the uses of holding the fair. It will be designed so as to contain a fine art ball; e hall for the sale of everything useful and fancy; also, one-for the exhibition of battle relics, old paintings, old furniture and other curiosities. It will also be arranged wllh a lecture hall to accommodate an au dience of five thousand, to witness the tableaux that will be - exhibited, and to listen to lectures it is proposed to have delivered. The fair will not be a mere w local institution, but, as its name indicates, will bo gotten up and sustained by the people'of Northern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, the' famous Winslow will case, now on trial at Bridgeport, Connecticut, Andrew Jackson Davis, the' “Seer,” was brought upon the stand by the plainiil&. Ho testified that; Mr. Winslow called upon him several years since, audited him iThe could give the price of certain stocks, prospectively. Davis declined to render the information, on the ground that spirits did not give facts that led to no good end. He said, also, that when clairvoyants examined sick persons, the pa tient-appeared to them entirely transparent, flesh, bones and all, and wherever there was disease, a dark or black spot appeared, or in flammation, or decay.! Ho said that clairvoy ants used minerals in their prescriptions, and be named Iron, gold, .silver,'magnesia, &c. Judge McCurdy asked him if they adminis tered “brass.” He thought not But the plaintiffs thought the Judge had insulted their witness. He was on the stand two hours, and underwent a searching examination. Major General Grant not U. 8. Grant. In a recent trip over the Ohio and Mississip pi railroad, in company with Major General W. T. .Sherman, that gentleman, who is a great admirer of General Grant, related a circumstance as to how he obtained the ini tials “U. 8.,” which we do not recollect having seen in print He stated that his bap tismal name was Hiram Ulysses, and ho bore that name till he was appointed a cadet at West Point The member of Congress who nominated Mm somehow got his name mixed np with that of his brother, and be was ap pointed as UlyssesJSydnoy, and that name once on the records at the MUUaiy Academy, could not be changed. He was baptized Into the military school as U. S. Grant, and he has ever since borne that name. fgy* Hon. Michael Hahn on the Ist of Jan uary succeeded Mr. H. Kennedy as proprietor and principal editor of tbe New Orleans Tme JJdta. Ho announces in* Ms salutatory that “be shall, at all times, advocate the necessi ty of strictly adhering to the views advanced by the national Executive, because, personal ly he knows the Executive to be influenced by no other sentiment than the honest and patriotic one of restoring, in all its vigor and unity, our country as it existed before this atrocious rebellion, without ill-will ora par ticle of animosity any portion of the people.” ts7~ A Nevada paper describes a now way of getting water recently adopted by a min ing company on Reese river. It is nothing less than boring an artesian well horizontally instead of perpendicularly, and Into a moun tain-side Instead of the “bowels of the earth.” In running a cut for the tunnel they struck’h large stream, and will donbless, as things appear, find enough before goingmuch further, to supply a large population. It Is thought that the water mine will pay much better than the silver mines. A Good Movement. —The employees on the Pacific Railroad, eastern division, on New Tear’s day got up an agreement, and has been numerously signed, pledging that for every profane word uttered during the year 16W, they would pay one dollar for the benefit of the Soldiers* Aid Fund, We wish such a pledge could be drawn up and very generally signed in this city. We think,'if strictly ad hered, a sum large enough to cany on the war could be realized. EspThe English have established another extensive mosket manufactory on the Ameri can plan at Birmingham. Notwithstanding they have hod two such establishments in op eration for several years, they were obliged to send to Massachusetts for all the ma chinery, tools and fixtures, not having yet learned to make them. . The American plan of making ail the parts so that they will fit any gun made in the same manner, excites' much admiration. tST General Grant was lately rallied about the New York Herald?s persistent and prepos terous use of his name for the Presidency. The General replied: “I aspire only to one political office. When this war is over I mean to run for Mayor of Galena, (his place of residence.) And if elected, I intend to have the sidewalk fixed up between my house and the depot.” \3T The officers of a Massachusetts regi ment which recently encountered the rebels in the Shenandoah valley were much surpris ed at the peculiar noise made by tbe enemy’s cannon. Upon investigation, It 'was ascer tained that the rebels had not fired either shot or shell—bnt had used Instead pieces of rail road iron and old horse shoes fastened to gether with telegraph wire. EgT During the holidays at Vermont, lIL, the young folks got up an exhibition for the benefit of the Soldiers* Aid Society and raised forty dollars In one evening. Tbe ladies and gentlemen connected with tbe Leagues pre pared a supper for the benefit of the sol diers’ families and raised the snug little sum of $125. t5T* Lord Palmerston is reported to have thus hit off the position of things In Europe: “Europe has been .threatened with a torch (Poland) and a Incifcr match (the Danish Unchics); the match is the more likely to set the house on tire.” * t3T Stephen C. Foster, the well known song writer, author of “ Old Folks at Home,” “Gentle Annie,” “Oh! Susanna,”‘“Old Uncle Ned,” etc., died in New York City on Thursday last He was a native of Pitts burgh. A number of the moneyed men in New York are engaged in organizing a new trans- Allan tic Steamship Company with a capital of ten million dollars. The British terimmi* is Bristol, which point it is proposed to roach in seven days. * C*?- The ice has been found floating in the ML'tisfcippi as fur South as Helena, which is something unprecedented. Advices from New Orleans report that it has been colder than ever before. Treatment ot, Soldiers in New York. Several regiments of-veteran volunteers, says the New York recently return ed from the scat of war, covered with honor able score and bearing their battle, stained andbattcrcdcoloretbroughourstrcets. Their arrival has been duly acknowledged in the newspapers, and their deeds have been re corded in prose and verso by appreciative pa triots; but their reception has not been equal to their merits. No preparations were made by the State authorities to receive them. No place had beenprovided for their shelter.. No tables were spread for their entertainment. No State officials extended to them a hand of welcome. Had they been foreigner*, just landed at our vJiarVf*, or other unheralded stranger x, they could not have been treated with more indifference by Gov. Seymour, and yet ho knew perfectly well that these brave men were coming here. He bad been notified of their intentions. The press announced the fact that they were on their way. They came here In the coldest weather we have had this winter, tired and travel-worn, and hungry, and toe only quarters offered to them were the bare boards 'of the Fork Barracks, and even • that • dirty den, peopled with vermin, was begrudged them by the Copperhead Common Council.. Why arc these men subjected to such shabby treat ment? Why have the State authorities neg lected to provide for their wants ? Is Gov ernor Seymour offended because they have re-enlisted? are they snubbed by him'be cause they have been fighting for Union and liberty? Arc the rights of soldiers to be ignored, when they come home to aid in re cruiting their wasted ranks? Is gross neg lect and iuhospltallty to be the reward given by the State to.vcterans in the service ? The short answer to these questions is, that Seymour and his crew are Copperheads, who sympathise with-the rebels, and bate the breve men who .have sworn to crush them. A “ blue coat” is 'obnoxious in their eyes. •Their affections are oil bound up in the sue? ccss and welfare of the “ graybacka.” minting Conscripts with Dogs, Tlie Army and Xavy Journal publishes the following extract from a cavalry officer’s letter, written from Southwestern Ten nessee: “I have been out with my regiment scouting for three weeks In the region lying between the Tennessee and Mississippi Bivers, north east of Memphis. Tor the first few days, we were after a guerilla company, who were en gaged in bnnting up, or bunting' down, con scripts with dogs. Brutal and horrible as It may seem, it is nevertheless strictly true, and yon may rely on it, that at* this very boor, hundreds of the people of West Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, are being hnntcd down with blood-hounds.' I could not realize it until bytbe most positive evidence I find it true. Wc were once almost within hearing of the baying of the bonnds,* and sent oat a scouting party who came very near catching some of the devils. If they had been caught they would have received short shrift.”. it is not often we have occasion to agree with the copperhead press, but we ful ly endorse the following from the copper head N. Y. Jtenald: * Tiiet 44 Most akd Shaix."—The late New Hampshire Democratic Copperhead Conven tion has resolved that 44 the rights of the bal . iot-hor must and shall be maintained, even if it bo necessary to resort to arms. Now wo dare say that not a solitary man of these .New Hampshire copperheads has ever been denied his rights of the ballot-box, or has any fear that he will ever be. Why Is it that these would-be Democrats can never be brought to repeat in these , days, word ior word! old Hickory’s 44 must and shall ?" 4 ‘By the Eternal! the Union must and shall be preserved." This comprehensive “.must and shall" laid out-the copperheads in.our last year’s State elections, and against It all this unmeaning claptrap of 44 the ballot-box". is simply disgusting. FROM WASffISGTON. WAsmsoToK, Jan-15,186i •, TAX THE STATE BAHSB— SOME OF TUB DEFECTS . OF THE KATIOHAL SYSTEM. ' In my letter of yesterday I stated that many gentlemen of financail skill and ability are ol the opinion that the Secretary of the Treasu ry’s plan of borrowing money on bonds is no better than issuing treasury circulating notes direct, If as good, as the Secretary has to pay a large rate of interest in the case of the bonds,"and none in tbc case of the treasury notes; and the inflation is about the same/ - as these bonds are used as a basis for the is sues of the National Banks. But this infla tion may possibly be obviated by taxing the heterogeneous moss of State bonk issues out of existence, and after Congress has made the necessary appropriations let them immediate ly set about doing this, or the consequences to the financial interests of the country will be very had indeed. In this connection j might reiterate whatT before stated with re cord to the National Bank system, and that • is that long and old established banking in stitutions object to merge their indivldaal character (If I may use the term) in these banks which, reaDy though each dependant upon jts financial capital and ability, are nominally all on the same footing. These old establish ed bonks, like that of Commerce, Chemical oud American Exchange, do not want to throw away the good names which years of prudent management have established, and take numbers instead. It Is like the current system of State jurors, which merges the men In the mere machines, dressed alike, and only distinguished by numbers. There is a good deal in this objection. It is also a ques tion whether, so far,-the capital!?**or the mere speculators and of capital bare become the stockholders and proprie tors of these banks. TUen again, one great advantage of the treasury note system over these banks is that it obviates the necessity ofa redemption center or" centers. I notice already tb*t the New York bonks do not like to take the monev of those of the West I only throw out these suggestions to call at tention to what are considered some of the defects of this new system. • The great advantage of the National Bank system is the opportunity it gives Mr. Chase to retire his circulating treasury notes, and substitute these National Bonk notea for* them, and thus in time enable him to gradu ally resume specie payments. THE COPPERHEADS AND THE CAiIPAIaV—IN A QUANDARY. -The Copperhead members of thcHonscand Senate meet almost nightly, and hold long and anxious consultations oyer the prospect of the coming campaign. They are in a quan dary. They -want to flndont ‘‘howto dolt;” or rather “how not to do it.” That is, they know that they must seem to go for the war, in order to succeed; and the question with them is how to go for it, without actually go ing for it The military candidate game is to be played. McClellan is the favorite with nearly all, except the Illinois men. Of these, CoL Bill Morrison and Jim Robinson arc out and out for Grant They say that to wio,the party must back down from its peace princi ples almost intoto. In fact, they go In for ‘‘roosting low enough 1 ’ to win, ana iu order to win they are willing to take any man or any platform which will bring them back into power. The remainder of the Illinois men arc not so decided for Grant; still they all lean in that direction. Fernando Wood ob jects to McClellan. As to Grant, Us all folly to talk of him, of a man who goes for the Proclamation, arming of negroes, &c. So that the caucus is divided on the vital point of the principles of the party. The lata de feat in Illinois, overwhelming as it was, bos struck terror into the members from the State, and they object logo into the coming tight with the certainty ofanolhor such over whelming rout staring them in the face. INDIAN TREATIES AND ALLEGED FAVORITISM. A telegraphic dispatch to the western press generally, a few days since, alleged that there was some favoritism exercised in the carry ing out of the treaties and sales of land under treaties with the Indians in the Interior De partment. I bare inquired into this matter in the proper quarter, and can stale that there Is no truth in the statement, which though quite general and indefinite may have been thought to reflect upon Mr. Dole, Indian Commissioner, or even the Secretary of the Interior. As to Mr. Dole, ho is an old and •well known citizen of Illinois, and I can as sure all h!s numerous friends at home that his transactions will bear the strictest official scrutiny. WDT THE KENTUCKY MEMBERS TOTED FOR COLFAX It Is stated that the Union members of Congress from Kentucky were flooded with letters from Union men of that State begging of them to vote for Colfax for Speaker, and generally adding that they were willing to let slavery go rather than that the rebellion should not be put down. I was shown a few such letters to-day. ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN CANAL OFFICE. The intention of the friends of the Illinois and Michigan Canal enlargement in this city to open an office for meetings, compilations, maps, books, Ac,, is taken in high dudgeon by its opponents here, who call it a “free and easy,” where Members of Congress are to be entertained to oysters, champagne, Ac. This is all bosh. There Is not the remotest inten tion of any such mode of pushing this useful and important enterprise. . MEMORIAL OP ASSISTANT ASSESSORS FOR ZN- CREASE OF PAY. . Mr. Moorhead, of Pennsylvania, Ims pre sented a memorial in the House, on the part of the Assistant Assessors of the United States, for an increase of pay. In the cities these officers perform a large amount of work, and arc ont doors in oil weathers In the rural districts they arc compelled to keep a horse and buggy. Their compensation Is but $3 per day at present. Hon. Joseph L. Lewis, the Commissioner, has, in his report, called the attention of Congress to this sub ject FROM THE FAR WEST. Matters in Utah, Colorado, Nevada.

' On the 10th of December a brutal murder was perpetrated at Salt Lake City. One laroh K. Luce, a resident of Suit Lake City, mbruttd.day light on the most frequented thoroughfare, in the doorway of Townsend’s Hotel, attacked Samuel R. Banting with a bowie-knife and sUbbed his unresisting vic tim to death. The deceased (Banting) was about 85 years old, recently from Bannock, and lately a Lieutenant in the service of the United States, but was on bis way to Missou ri to see his aged parents, from whom he had been separated 14 years. He is represented to have been a quiet, peaceable man, and those who know him cannot place full faith In the story of Luce about the beating and threats of Banting. SHOOTING AFFRAY IN NEVADA. A remarkable shooting affray occurred in Virginia on tbo 12th of December. A man named Charles Slier was shot in the head with a revolver and killed, by a woman named Deborah Davis, or Philips, under the following circumstances. The parties resided, in the same house, on the cast side ol C • street, spine distance south of the SL Lonis brewery, and just beyond a large carriage and sign painting establishment, the names of the owners of which we were unable to ascertain. There ore only two rooms in the house. Slier and a man named Joseph Petersson occupied tbo bock apartment, and Mrs. Philips lived in the front room, with her daughter, a little girl about seven or eight yeats of age. There had been a difficulty between Stler and the woman forscveral days previous, caused, she says, by his attempting to take improper liber ties with her, at different times, and offering her personal abase. Be this as it may, about half on hour before the shooting occurred, she was furnished with a sue shooter by a 'friend named Schofield. She concealed the weapon, and soon 'af terwards Mr. - Stier returned home. She drew the revolver and he .ran into his own room bolting the door after him. She struck against the door with the revolver, and fired one of the barrels through it The report attracted the attention of a gentleman on the other side of the street,' who went over to the boose and witnessed the remain der of the a flair. 'We obtained an account of it from him, which we are satisfied is correct There is a door to each room on the north side of the.honse, and a pair of steps extend ing from each door to the ground. They are about ten feet apart Slier came ont upon one pair of stairs, while the woman returned, and stood upon those leadingnp to her doot She called Lima coward and told him to takr back what he had sold derogatory to her character, or shcwonld shoot him. He very calmly replied, “shoot on,” when she com menced firing. Two balls whistled past his head;'during which time he- remained per fectly motionless.. The third bullet street him just above the left temple, and he imme diately fell down the stairs to the ground, a distance of about’ten feet. He was picked up and carried into the house, and a physi cian summoned. BIOS DISCOVERIES. Big discoverieshavebecn made at Hum boldt City. A correspondent of the Union says: . Seven large, well-defined gold-bearing ledges were located last week. They most be veiy rich. I saw a wagon load of tbo rock yesterday in which I think no piece conld have been found without gold in sight. The gold is coarse and free, soys at the ledges are making ten to fifteen dollars a day with band mortars. Companies are constructing arastras, which will soon be in operation. The Cuba is taking out very rich ore. About COO tons lies at the month ot their tunnel, to be worked as soon as they can get their mIU put up. Mammoth : Tunneling Company, a little more than 200 feet in, and has struck pay rock.' Melrose, bos struck richer than ever before. Winnamucca taking' out pay rock.

'Mr. Jacob Gooding, formerly agent of the Overland Kail Company between San Fran cisco and Salt Lake City, died near the latter place on the 15th of December. Jose Arnamado Marquez, present Peruvian Consul General for the Central American States at San Francisco, sues for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain possession of his child, a boy aged four years. In 1850 he was attached to the Peruvian embassy, in Wash ingtop, D. C. -About that time he was mar ried, in New York city, to Emma C. Wilcox. Subsequently they removed to Lima, where petitioner held a lucrative office under Gov ernment. The wife being’‘dissatisfied with the country os a residence, came to San Fran cisco, where she has supported herself in a moderate way by giving lessons In music and language. PACIFIC PZBATES. It Is reported that the United States steam er Narragansctt his gone to look after a sus picious vessel, supposed to be a pirate, which is fitting out at Victoria (V. L) This accords with a statement published that the Collector of Puget Sound District had mode application for a man-of-war to watch the piratical ves sels on Die Sound. Advertising Extraordinary. A London letter to the Cincinnati Gazette says that in comparison with the English we don’t know anything about advertising, and that the tricks and shifts resorted to to at tract public attention to an article or place of business arc manifold and astonishing. Here is one, which the writer witnessed himself: The other day In passing along the street, I stopped with a large crowd near , a meat store, where a load altercation was proceed ing, with load and angry language. It was on a Saturday evening, and the streets were filled with people ana market stalls, some what as Fifth street in Cincinnati is on the same evening. It was easy, therefore, to gather a crowd by any disturbance. In this ’ meat store the chief batcher was threatening most violently a Junior partner bee Asc he hod sold a string of the finest sausage at only nine-pence a pound to some woman; the ■butcher ‘‘would not stand It, by G—;” “he would break up the partnershipto-morrow;” and “ if he did not take care he would knock the breath out of him then and there.” The other whined out some apology and defied him. u Here arc sansages that coat me nine pence,” holding them up to the crowd, “and he goes and sells them for that—these best Kcntishtowns. If yon, sir, ever sell another one for less tl\an ttn-pence, you’ll catch it!” Now the sausoges.were scarcely pnrchascable elsewhere in the market under a shilling; and It actually turned oat that this noise and fury were all a mock scene to bring a crowd to the door and advertise the sausage. 1 saw seve ral persons buy some of the sausages. A Bod in Pickle for Contractors* [From the New York Herald.) One of the best measured introduced in Congress this session is the resolution of Mr. Washburuc investing the Committee on the Conduct of the War with power to examine’ into all contracts made or that shall be made up to the time of the committee’s making its report. Armed with authority to meet dar ing the session or in the recess, and to send for persons and papers, it will be difficult for any suspicious operation to escape its notice, grovided tbe committee be thorough and oncst in its iuvestigations. Of course the efficiency ijf the committee will very much depend on the elements of which It is to be composed; but os all parties will have to be appointed on it to give it a complexion of fairness, it aught to work well for the public interests. A body like this, sitting en pernui tutu'Cj cannot but exercise a wholesome influ ence over both government officers and con tractors. When the latter find that detection is prompt , and punishment certain they will make up their minds that honesty is the best policy. ' , Railroad Accident—Thirteen Freight Cars Thrown into a ditch.— At five o’clock yesterday afternoon, a northern bound freight train of twenty-one care met with a serious accident fire miles east of Galena. Just be fore running on a bridge over the east fork of the Fever River, the engine struck a colt, passing over it safely,'as did also two care, the third cor was thrown off the track, and when it reached the bridge it shoved the main timbers from their places, and bridge and car went down together into the stream.
