Bosworth, D. D., Factor. Text:—But I will aiug of thy power, yea. I will ting aloud of thy mercy iu the moruiug. for thou hast been mv delenae and my refuge In the day of trou ble. —tl'Sa LX Lix. 16. The experience of mercies always demands the expression of gratitude; and more loudly when mercies are mingled with judgments. Nothing can be more base for a people in the day of trouble, than to fail to acknowledge th« protection and deliverances which God accom plishes for them. This Psalm is a lesson on such matters. It is made up of prayer ami praise. It was com posed by David to celebrate his escape when Saul caused his house to be surrounded by sol diers who were ordered to kill him when he should come out.—1 Sain., xix. This event formed the commencement of Davitl's loug continued flight, during which he experienced unheard of dangers and nameless sufferings. This Psalm was composed during this gloomy period, and therefore makes mention of deliv erances obtained, while it implores the contin ued interposition of God in his behalf because of the enemy. Its allusions and sentiments are general, that they may lie appropriated by ail who may be similarly situated. Mark well the moral basis of the Psalmist’s addresses to Gml. He addresses God in a most filial main. or. “Gray God.” “God Is my defense.” TUo God of my mercy shall prevent me.” Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.” Un to Thee, O my strength will I siug: for God is my defense, the God of my mercy.” Hero we behold the subdued emotions of a mel low hearted child turning unto the great Father in confidence and cheerful hope. And In every great calamity in which God's peo ple participate, they have been heard to ad dress Him as their God, and to cry unto Him for deliverance. Moreover, David urges his own innocence as to the enemy which has risen up agains t him. The mighty are gathered against me not for my transgression, not for my sin, O my Lord.” He meant uot to say that his afflic tions, as coming from God, lmd no justiflea tion in himself, but that he had given the ene my no just ground for such violent treatment. It was an appeal to Omniscience as to his in nocence in respect to Saul. Aud being inno cent he could properly plead witli God to dis comfit and overthrow him. Ills prayer is the cry of injured and persecuted innocence, seek ing redress of Him to whom vengeance be longs.” Nor can the assailing party in any conflict reasonably hope for the divine inter rsitiou in their behalf, for their success. God always on the side of the innocent, and the wronged. He may use the wicked as the rod with which He chastises his people; hut He will never help the wicked to accomplish their purposes. These two facts correspond with the double character of the Psalm. In the ex ercise of filial love, David acknowledges deliv erances, while, conscious of inuocenceund the rectitude of his cause, he implores God for final and complete success. Is not this Psalm suited to us as a nation in trouble? Our euemy, without just cause, lias hrnnoiit. unnn us fruont fvilumitios unit throat. ens yet greater ones. But Goil hath wrought extraordinary deliverances already for us, which demand the exercise aud expression of devout gratitude, and thanksgiving. While the night yet lingers we may say with David, I will sing of thy potcer, yea, I w ill sing aloud of thy mercy la the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.” And I propose to notice some Iff the events of the war now pending which call for devout thanksgiving. 1st. In any such enumeration we should never omit the singular unanimity and spoil taneouimens with which the North rose up to meet, and continues to resist, this monstrous rebellion. This universal up rising of the Free States was wholly unexpected by the South. They had contidently calculated that those here who had been their political friends and co-operators would, at least, refuse to take up arms against them. They reckoned the strength of their allies living in the Northern States, sufficient to neutralize the exertions of those w ho might be disposed to resist them by force and arms. They never expected to con front their old associates leagued so closely with their common political opponents. This fact shows this union of the North to be re markable. Scarcely less surprising was the spontaneous and universal up rising of the people here, to themselves. It was the theme of grateful men tion, and the cause of Bplendid outbursts of eloquence, in every speech from rostrum or pulpit. It was hailed as a phenomenon only second in marvellousness to the rebellion it self. Such a fusion of political parties, such a suspension of partizan strife, such a flowing together in the exercise and practice of a com l mon patriotism of those who. but a few mouths previous, had been arrayed in conflicting sec tions in support of opposing platforms, was admitted to lie wonderful by all. We felt that some spirit from above was moving upon the heart of the multitude, calling forth those deep, moral sentiments of our common humanity, which will evermore take the side of truth and justice. We felt awe struck! This union at the North was far more spon taneous, prompt, and powerful than that at the South. Here it was immediate and almost universal, from the day of the bombardment of Fort Sumter. At the South there ere entire States which came slowly and reluctantly into the hostile confederation. From the other States there were many thousands who fled, leaving their homes and their possessions and B business, to escape violent treatment for not uniting in a rebellion which they disapproved. Many who remained and are now among the supporters of the Confederacy, gave in their allegiance and support with a hesitancy and reluctance most suspicious, and strangely in I contrast with the unanimous and spontaneous and simultaneous movement of the North. The reign of terror enforced in many parts of the South, and the necessity for the military con scription, go to show that the union of feeling and action there, have not in them that free spontaneousness which is so natural In true patriotism. In contrast with what exists at the South, even now, tile union witlr us is re markable. How promptly have our immense armies been raised! How cheerfully have lib eral bounties been paid! How wonderfully has the whole country worked and sacrificed, and jioured out treasure, to meet the necessi ties of the sick and wounded. In these bless ed charities, neither party lines, nor denomi k national lines have been recognized. Here there a man has looked on coldly, or spok s.*^,«'couragingly. Here and there a treach p^y heart has been uncovered and overt acta i.-ivV'ihown a man or woman in alliance with the rebellious. Hut how few the numberl Is it not remarkable And this unanimity and co-operation sub stantially remains. It was to be expected that political questions and conflicts should come up, nnd that old party lines would bo reform ed. Hut a* yet there is no party ayain.il the tear. As yet there is no party to declare for the rebellion, or for the Confederacy. Among the people, in the army, nnd out ot the army, there can be no such party. The patriotism of the North is too deep, and the love for our fret; institutions is too pure to render the form ation of such a parly possible. The men will be larld indeed who shall attempt leadership in such a direction, and will find they have reck oned without their host. Traitors and spies there are among trs 1n every State perhaps, and likely enough in every department of State, and in every portion of the army. What else could be expected from such vigor on the part of our enemies, and such leniency on our j ow n part. But the masses are one. The mass t es, ot all ranks, and conditions, and professions, pvvwji aih-ear the burdens resting upon us. Tlie institutions which we have cherished have produced habits and developed energies aud re kmirf'PH tl'lliclt Oil'll.In Ha to tiiii.ii tin. nouoiilt which these institutions are now suffering. Such a national spectacle was never before ex hibited, such prosperity in connection with such a war, and such a rebellion. The resour ces of the North have never before been un covered, the industry and business capacity of the nation have never been tested or compre hended. The Independence of the Free States both of the Soutli and Foreign Nations could never have been so clearly demonstrated as by the present exigencies. Our reserved resour ces, not only in money, but in the products of the earth,—the last and chief source of all wealth, and in the material for w ar both on sea and on land, have been Imt partially drawn upon, while they are being increased every month. In all this I see cause for devout gratitude, and sincere thanksgiving to God. He has giv en another fruitful season. He lues crowned the year now closing, with goodness, and caus ed our paths to drop fatness. Our pastures have been clothed witli flocks; the valleys al so have been covered over witli corn. He lias multiplied our men, stern, stalwart men who love to work and know how to make the most of their advantages. He lias raised up men of eminent practical wisdom to manage our national affairs, both ]iolitical and financial. He has thus laid the foundation for a hope of ultimate success which ought to inspire us with cheerfulness and gratitude. 3d. Important successes have been secured in the war. The enemy hies exhibited remark able energy, a fertility of expedients unantici pated, resolution and co-operation unlooked for, though not inexplicable. Their achieve ments are truly remarkable,unparalleled! The world cannot but admire; and we should Join in this admiration were not the grand aim and purpose so detestable and abhorrent. But not withstanding the enemy has commanded and combined sucli resources, fought on his own territory, lor tiis own independence of those whom lie hates, fought, ill many instances, lor life itself, and therefore with a desperation which cannot be expected on our part ordina rily, he has been defeated and driven back.— He has gained numerous victories; but the war, thus far, has gone against him. He has not maintained himself in a single State, the possession of which has I icon fairly contested. In Missouri, in Kentucky, in Tennessee, and in Virginia even, he has not maintained cren the dcfenxive with success. Iu each of these States he has made repeated attempts to drive back the invading army of the North, and has, in each case, signally failed, llis late attempts, both in the West and iu the East, to carry the war into the Free States, proved utterly un successful. I think it may lie set down as set tled that, thus far in the border States, the war has gone against the South. ®e strength, and position, and resources of the two armies to-day, viewed together witli their entire course, decidedly preponderate iu favor of the North. Then look at the actual aggressions which have been made, upon the territory and strong places of the Confederacy, and in no case lost again. Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk, witli the Navy Yard in active operation one year since, and the James river, the entrance into which was commanded by these places, are now all in our possession. The Sounds and entire sea coast of North Carolina may lie regarded as in our hands, together with no in considerable portion of the State itself. A most important foothold has boon obtained 1 in South Carolina at Hilton Head and Btau fort. The coast of Florida Is iu our posses sion, and portions of the State arc about to be colonized by northern agti-uituilsb. Pensa cola and its navy yard, one year ago a strong hold of rebellion, lias been secured. New Or leans is also ours. Galveston, with the entire coast of Texas is now in our hands, or within easy reach. Only a short portion of the Miss issippi waters remain under the coutrol of the Confederacy. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mis souri have twice been delivered from the pres ence of hostile armies. Thus in nearly every State of the Confederacy the Federal govern ment has obtained a prominent and important place, which may be made a base of yet fur ther aggressive o|>erations. These conquests extend around the entire coast of the Confed eracy, and through its western center. Indeed, there remain but four important places to be secured, in order completely to destroy their entire commerce, aud to put an end to their naval operations. Nor is this all; the occupation of those pla I P»*:t 11 V Witli 111- tlio limits**! n«ivil liirpn it our command last winter, has filled tlie enemy with fear and trepidation for the places yet in their possession. They make no secret of their solicitude. They see and feel that our enlarged fleet and army can easily finish the work which lias been so auspiciously commenced. And this fear is the precursor of the coming reality. The successes of our naval operations last season were of incalculable importance, and have not been duly appreciated. They weak ened the commerce of the Confederates amaz ingly, withered tlie confidence which they had inspired among foreigners concerning their ul timate success, and increased the effectiveness of the blockade so as to silence all foreign com plaint. And while these successes have had such depressing influence upon the opposition both at home and abroad, they have inspired a confidence in our army and navy which, if not abused, will prove of great value. Besides all this, it is most signifteautand encouraging that no place once taken lias ev’er been retaken by tlie foe. Ills losses have been dead losses. And these have surely been sufficient to show that he cannot sustain, even a war of defense. Every attempt to regain the grouud from which lie lias been driven has signally failed. His campaigns in Tern lessee and Kentucky and in Virginia have demonstrated his inability to recover himself, or to regain his power in those States, while his single invasion of free ter ritory, and hasty retreat, must have destroyed all his hope in that direction. This last fact deserves a fuller recognition. The Southern army marched into Maryland up to the borders of Pennsylvania, when as strong its it can ho|>o ever to tie again, when flushed witli victory, when animated with the hope of plunder, and with the not unnatural purpose of punishing us for the desolation which had followed the invasion of Southern territory, by coinmittiug similar depredations in the Northern States. Our army was in a languishing condition, disheartened, demoral ized, many of its licet commanders dead, and others inefficient, or even worse than that; yet nothing was accomplished by this bold at tempt, of substantial advantage to the Confed eracy, while, for us it is a demonstration that their successes will be confined to their own familiar fields. There has been evidently a limit set for the proud waves of this rebellion, which it cannot pass. As we review these successes ought we not to be devoutly grateful to God? May we not have been guilty of unduly appreciating them? Because we have noterushed the vital part of the monster anil extinguished ids life, may we not have been discontented and murmured, while we ought to have felt that God has done for us great tilings for which we should praise Him? May we not be like the ungrateful petulant child, who, because he cannot have all lie asks at the instant, refuses to accept the gilts which a judicious and kind pareut be stows-upon him? Alas! that we know not when God is blessing us! It was one of God’s lamentations over Israel, “But they knew not that I healed them.” We insist ou looking at single events when we ought to survey tlie combined events of the entire period. Tlie agent of a vast enterprise cannot stop to look alter every little thing. He must rely upon tlie main operation for ultimate success. So long as tlie grand event approaches we should be cheerful. 4. This enumeration of lilessimrs would be incomplete were I to tail to mention the mor al results already secured or likely to be se cured by this contest. Tile events of the past two years have revealed the weaknesses and the corruptions, and deficiencies of our na tional and social character, and our necessities in this direction. We begin to see that we have been too exclusively devoted to the pur suits of wealth and personal aggrandizement, and have criminally neglected the work of government. It lias long been one of our na tional sins not to hold our public servants re sponsible for their good character and the faithful discharge of their high trusts. The emoluments of office have not been duly bal anced by its responsibilities rigidly enforced. Base and unlit men have held posts of honor, only to dishonor them. The crimes of public men have not been suitably rebuked and pun ished. Ily such means the tone of public mor als has been lowered, good men have been disgusted with politics and neglected their po litical duties, and—a worse result still—l!c publican government had begun to sink in the estimation of many. The present trials are leading good and great men in all parties and professions, to search out these radical defects and diseases in the body politic. Already they have begun to expose them, tvs you will find if you will read their speeches, instead of the sensation rumors in the newspapers. Public attention will, I trust, be fixed on these evils, and their career will be checked. The sad lessons we are uow learning w ill help school statesmen, legislators, political economists, and diploma tists, who shall equal those noble men who were trained in the severe experiences of the period of our Bevolution.and bring to the ad ministration of national afiiiirs the highest wis I dom and fidelity. And surely whatever is working for us such a needed renovation de rnands our gratitude. Already has the patriotism of the people been much purified and developed. The love of country slept in our bosoms because there was nothing to wake it: it languished because there was nothing to exorcise it: it was insi pid, and foolish, because never made sober, sturdy and discriminating by great trials. We boasted and bragged. Our self-adulation was often indiscriminate, and unreasonable,and dis I gusting to foreigners. But perils, and con flicts, and taxes, and blood have waked up and brought out our patriotism wonderfully. It is refreshing, amid the terrible moral winter now upon us, to see this beautiful flower,—these delicate crocuses springing up from beneath the snow in prolusion, true harbingers of spring. Our young men are catching tlie holy tire, and the noble impulses they are now cher ishing, and the stern training they are now re ceiving, the national experience they are now I working into their characters, cannot fail kto render them worthy to receive and fit to dis charge the responsibilities of free men and cite izens of a mighty republic. Our political and social institutions are be ing subjected to new tests Which promise the most favorable result. The process is, of ne cessity, long and fearful. But the progress of civilization and Christianity has always been slow, and attended by violence. Let us not, however, look only on the sail scenes of the conflict, and refuse to be comforted by the prospect of ample compensations for ail that is to be sacrificed or suffered. The trial now pending is developing and ex posing to the nations, tin; inherent power of Republican institutions, in a remarkable man ner. The ability of our national system to de fend itself from domestic enemies lias already astonished tire world. The young giant of the west has already displayed a vitality more vig orous and buoyant .and a wiadom more mature, than anything exhibited in the history ol na tions. This demonstration is already begin ning to produce its legitimate influence in moulding the sentiments d feelings of the old world in our favor. On •successes are fast compelling the nations who fave hated us to respect us, England at Hrst *ewed our strug gle with wavering sentiment Soon,—and it was not strange—old disllk. i and deep-rooted prejudices came to the surface, and the lead ing expressions and •iivill-L_ rations were de cidedly in sympathy v the confederacy. There were expressions fly the government, but these were too faint, o he thunder of the opposition was too louil to allow of their being heard. But already a pou i ful reaction has commenced. Powerful writ, in Europe have looked beyond the itnmediat i deplorable con sequences, to the nature of the conflict. And every serious effort to understand 'the nature and purpose of the gigantic struggle, brings with it new reasons (or modifying most of those opinions which were hastily advocated by the popular organs of English opinion at its'first outbreak. The Westminster Review for Oe toner says—--i ne symptom* 01 reaction in Eng lish opinion arc now. as might lie expected.lic corning every day more decided; the time which has elapsed has allowed of study, the requisite information has been acquired, and before long, in spite of exasperated feeling, a more full measure of justice will lie meted out to the North than it lias yet received at Eng lish hands." This reaction has been led on by several powerful works by leading minds in Europe which have discussed our present struggle in a masterly maum r. And it is the more grateful as it is the is re valuable, be cause it lias been the result, ot of our own exertions or agencies, hut the obtruding merits of our cause, and in pile of foreign prejudices, and of tlic stead \ertions of do mestic enemies. It is tie- w y ne ebb of a powerful tide which no pew on earth can ar rest. The friends r.i_ ive Christian civ ilization will throw tbemseh upon its rising waves, followed by the rr, illloi.. of the common people; and the proud i 1 isiei and minions of monarehs will not Is' far oqtiiiid. Meanwhile we know full w I, that the strug gle now pending is a legitiu and meritnble conflict between the two kinds of civilization which have been working togstliar in our na tional system from the outset, each kind ex treme in its character,—the hut form of re publicanism and the worst form of slavery. No constitution, no administ atiou has ever, or can ever bring them into easy co-operation. They are in their nature and Influence, unlike and antagonistic. They arc ‘lie flesh and the spirit which war against each other. 'This an tagonism is not in the rrtcei, but in the systems. They never worked in harmony, ami never will. Our present conflict is t’.- severest and most demonstrative trial of the relative strength anl vitality of these two forms of civ ilization, mat the world has. ever witnessed. Eu i v day increases the inter- st with which it is viewed b/ reflecting men 1 uh at home ami abroad. As the conflict ad» s each party is forced hack upon its reserved resources. Neither will surrender till exhausted. The in teference of other nations willouly bring such nations into the ring, and increase the scope and fury of the contest. The issues cannot be thus changed. Nay, such intervention in be half of the South would only serve to range monarchists on the side of tyranny, where they are supposed by many to belong. And the result woulifbe one grand and awful con test between freedom and oppression. And, at length, the world is destined to know which Is the more powerful. Which is destined to triumph ?—is a question of tremendous inter est, the greatest question now before the world. That is destined to be answered by the turning of another: Which can command tlie greatest resources? Both parties are cou lldent of ultimate victory. We shall see which is disappointed. Should it prove in the end, that freedom gradually withdraw- from slavery its vital valves and its main reliance j should the youthful Hercules lift Antonis from the ground and squeeze him to death in his arms, tile world, at all event- the lovers of freedom throughout the world, will have occasion to thank God for the desperate experiment and dreadful encounter. Already the grand crisis approaches, It is wonderful how steadily it lias moved along, as if propelled by some di vine, unseen band. No one can rejoice in the rivers of blood and tears on which this enter prise is borne ;but shall we not rejoice in the con viction that these bloody sacrifices will obtain a glorious redemption, liotli for our nation and for multitudes ol tin-enslaved? I thank God that tlie results promise to be a rich compensation for all they shall cost. I bail in the distance an auspicious morning. I begin to hope that the solid foundations of tlie fathers shall yet sustain a superstructure worthy of them. The expectations of oppressed humanity which have long hung upon the fortunes of the lte pulilic, shall not be put. to shame. The morn ing daw neth. Brigiit streams of rosy light illumine tlie ea-t. And what if tlie dawn be long in bursting into perfect day What if it lie an oriental dawn w hich commences near midnight It shall lie followed by an oriental day. T he long and cheerful hours of that cloudless day shall give tlie emancipated mil lions opportunity to demonstrate that their cause w as worthy of all this toll, this sacrifice and blood. A contest so dreadful and thorough shall need no repetition. There are some plants which blossom but once in a century. Generations must culti vate them w ith benevolent luuids, iu patient hope, and lie grateful for their growth. Their joy must be the joy of anticipation;— sympathy with the joy of coming generations. Be this our joy, if need lie. We w ill thank God that this fearful conflict is not all to be lef t to our children. We will rejoice that we may do and sutler something lor our race which w ill be worthy of being remembered. We will tliauk God that we may contribute something to tho vital values ol the world. I..

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND MAISE Saturday Morning, Dec. 0, 1862.

The Portland Daily Press hae the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. Abolitionism becoming Respectable. Abolitionism, as defined by sham democrats and their allies, Is becoming a very respectable thing. They stigmatize as abolitionists all who do not acknowledge the righteousness of slavery, its coinpatihility with divine ordina tion, its perfect harmony with republican in stitutions and its just claims upon the respect and reverence of the wisest statesmen and the soundest political economists. If a man now repeats with emphasis the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence—that all men are created free and equal, and are endowed with the inalienable right of liberty, he is an abolitionist. If he insist that human slavery is opposed to natural laws, and rests upon an outrage and usurpation, he is an abolitionist. If lie contend that differences in color neces sarily imply no superiority in mental power, then lie is ail abolitionist, and would disregard God's imprint on his human offspring. If he contend that the white man has no more mor al right to enslave the black than the native African lias to enslave the unfortunate mari ner who finds himself cast upon a barbarous shore, then he is not only an abolitionist, but he is guilty of underrating the majesty of white humanity, and is to be taunted as a “uiggerite” and an advocate of negro equality with the cultivated races of Europe and Amer ica. If he believes that slavery tends to de stroy the moral forces of a nation, and to ener vate the industry of a people in whose midst it is operative, then he is to be stigmatized as an abolitionist. If he believes that slavery lias Dromnted the nresent rebellion, that it is the “great black commissary of the confederacy,” —as Dr. Bellows styles it,—and that emanci pation of the slaves of rebels is demanded as a necessity of the war,then all the tribes of sham democrats and rebel sympathizers combine to denounce him as an abolitionist; and this word has really become the mad-dog cry by which attempts are made to disparage and to bring Into disrepute every man who contends that ilavery has no superior claims to respect, and that if it stands in the way of preserving the Union or of maintaining the authority of the government, it should be trampled beueath the feet of our victorious armies. But as we have said, abolitionism, ns de fined above, is fast becoming respectable. Of the late members of Buchanau's cabinet we find at least four who rest under the ban of the pro-slavery politicians, and who are good enough abolitionists according to the modern standard. These are the venerable Lewis Cass, late Secretary of State, John A. Dix,Ed win M. Stanton and Joseph Holt. Then we have such men as Gens. Hunter, Butler,Hook er McClernard, Sprague, and hosts of others, all democrats recently, but now abolitionists according to the latest definition of the north ern pro-«Javery lexicographer. Going back we find the eminent historian and scholar, Geo. Bancroft, once the distinguished repre sentative of a democratic administration at the Co urt of St. James, now an abolitionist of the newly-defined type. Then we have Kobt. J. Walker,a man who was called from the “cot ton State” of Mississippi, to head the Treasury Department under Mr. Polk, and whom Mr Buchanan selected above ail others for the Governorship of Kansas; he, too, comes under the ban for being an abolitionist. And so we might go on, and we should find that scores and hundreds of those who have been the honored men of a better democracy than exists today, are now the most zealous defenders of dqctriues and measures which call down upon their heads the mad-dog cry referred to, from the sinall-beer politicians and pro-slavery advocates who in so large a degree, make up the democratic party. Are we not right in saying that abolitionism is fast becom ing respectable And does it not bid fair, at no distant day, to become popular also? The truth is, the bone and sinew, head and heart of the old democratic party, are now in the ranks of those who are denounced as abolitionists, by a set of “soldiers of fortune” and broken down politicians, who are anxious to galvanize into li !e the old, effete organization of democracy, merely for the personal and political advanta ges which they hope to derive from it. They ignore Jefferson and every doctrine he ever enunciated. They stand on doctrines as dia metrically opposed to true democracy as dark ness to light. They are fighting to revive the dea posonx qve VEmpereur tOrnbe dans un pulls, e'ext un accident; su/ipasonx quc tous I'm n tiriez, e'ext un malheur.'' "Suppose the tui peror falls into a pit, that’s an accident; sup pose you help him out, that's a misfortune.” Debate ht Mechanics’ Hail. A large ami interested audience gathered in the (Library Room of the Mechanics’ Associa tion on Thursday evening, to listen to the debate on the President’s Proclamation, which has been continued with great earnestness through sevpral sessions. The auditors, as w ell as the sjieakers, evidently anticipated some lively demonstrations, and they W'ere not dis appointed. The discussion was not confined strictly to the question, the debaters claiming the privilege to go aside to refute whatever seemed to them wild or erroneous in the argu ments of their opponents. It was galifying to notice, however, that although many very sharp things were said on both sides, some c them touching personal political records, past professions compared with present conduct, party inconsistencies and misdemeanors,—all of them giving zest to the entertainment—the only irritatiou produced was to excite the par ticipants to sharper thrusts, without hostile feelings. The discussion was opened by Mr. O. S. Beale, who made a spirited reply to the argu ments used against his remarks the previous evening, and gave his opinion as to the merits of the two political parties. lie was succeeded by Mr. J. T. Emery, who in sustaining the negative, severely censured the administration, contending that the course it had pursued had divided the North, and he. was able to prove that those composing the administration were either thieves or traitors. Massachusetts would starve on the compliments which Mr. Emery bestowed on her and all of her political faith. nc was opposed to me rrociamation, oecause lie believed it would, in its results, prove the eud of our government. J. T. Walton hung out the banner of his convictions as to the two political parties in a characteristic speech, and gave in his adhe- fence to the Proclamation, believing as lie did, i that the Government, in executing its provis- ions, was acting in obedience to the principles of a great moral law which is always produc- tive of happy results. Chas. P. Kimball opposed the proclamation, i because, in his opinion, it could do the rebels j no harm nor the slaves any good; because it is unconstitutional aud contrary to the prorn ises of the President and the action of Con I gress, and because it “destroyed confidence in the President’s honesty and capacity.” That t I these attributed qualities of the Executive were always a humbug he had no doubt. He j believed that Floyd and Cobb, the traitors, j were not so bad as some who are now in the national government. X. A. Foster followed in the affirmative, i briefly reviewing some of the arguments of those sustaining the negative. He believed I slavery was the producing cause of the rebel lion, aud if It was blotted out the rebellion would cense to exist. The fighting men of the South are able to be in the field only because J the slaves are sustaining them by labor on the plantations at home—take away this prop and we can easily make an end of the war. Dem ocrats fear to do this lest it should irritate the South. He did not believe the South could well be Irritated to the performance of inorebar barous deeds than those they had already done. The effect of the Proclamation would be to give early and general freedom to the slaves, and thus the war would be terminated and the j supremacy of the government established.— Mr.Kimball,in reply to some observations as to his political wanderings and returnings by Mr. Foster, contended that he still stood on Douglas grouud, and that he was willing to “follow in the wake" of any man, however humble, who was right. He invoked the pres- ence of Douglas to explain to the people some of the late messages of President Lincoln, and said he could not sustain the President in the course which he has pursued during the last six months. His remarks throughout were clearly and forcibly expressed. Mr. M. A. Blanchard, speaking in the affir mative, was convinced that the Proclamation would result favorably for the nation. The 1 conflict is now so great that slavery must go down. It does not even ask for the protection of, but opposes itself to the government. If, as an enemy to the life of the nation, this in stitution can be struck by a power higher than the constitution, let the government deal its heaviest blows upon it. The hour of adjournment having arrived, on motion of Mr. Emery the question was laid on the table for discussion at the next meeetiug. j from our Regular Correspondent.

Skirmisher. Major Gen. Hal leek's Report. Gen. llalleck has made a report to the Sec retary of War in relation to the military ope rations in Virginia, and a few extracts will lie read with peculiar interest. When it is under stood that this report is from the highest otti clal source, its statements will do much to cor rect public opinion, and to disabuse the pub lic mind of a mass of false impressions in re lation to tiic disposition of the Executive, and the Department, towards the Army of the Pe ninsula, and the promptness with which the orders of the General-in-chief have been re sponded to. Gen. Halleck refers to his being called by the President to assume the duties of General-in-chief and says: The tlrst tiling to which m$ attention was called on my arrival here, was the condition of the army at Harrison’s Landing, on the James river. I immediately visited Gen. Mc Clellan's headquarters for consultation. 1 left Washington on the 24th and returned on the 27th. The main object of this consul tation was to ascertain if there was a possibil ity of an advance upon Richmond from Harri son's Landing, and if not, to favor some plan of uniting the armies of Gen. McClellan and Gen. Pope on some other line. Not being fa miliar with the position and numbers of the troops iu Virginia and on the coast, I took the President’s estimate of tlie largest number of reinforcements that could be sent to the Army of the Potomac. On the day of my ar rival at Harrison’s Landing, Gen. McClellan was of the opinion that he would require at least 50,000 additional troops. 1 informed him It,at tl»i- ,,,»t .,,,--0,1. 1... that 1 was not authorized to promise him over 20,000 and that I could not well see how even that number could be safely withdrawn from other places. He took the night for considering the mat ter, aud informed me the next morning that he woidd make the attempt upon Richmond with the 20,000, but, immediately on my return to Washington, he telegraphed that he would require 35.000, a force which it was impossible to send him without leaving Washington and Baltimore almost defenseless. The only alter native now left was to withdraw the Army of the Potomac to some position where it could unite with that of Gen. Pope, and cover Wash ington at the same that it operated against the enemy. After full consultation with my officers, 1 determined to attempt this junction on the Rappahannock, by bringing McClellan’s forces to Aquia Creek. Accordingly, on the 3Uth of J uly, I telegraphed to him to send away his sick as quickly as possible, prepara tory to a movement of his troops. This was preliminary to a withdrawal of his entire army, which was ordered by telegraph on the 3d of August. In older that tile transfer to Aquia Creek might be made as rapidly as possible, I author ized Gen. McClellan to assume control of all the vessels in the James river aud Chesapeake Bay, of which there was then a vast fleet.— The Quartermaster-General was also request ed to send to that point all the transports that conldbe procured. On the 5th I received a protest from Gen. McClellan, dated the 4th, against the removal of the army from Harri son's Landing, a copy of which is annexed, marked Exhibit Xo. 1, with my reply on the 6th, marked Exhibit Xo. 2. On the 1st of August I ordered Gen. Burnside to immedi ately embark his troops at Xewport Xews, transfer them to Aquia Creek, aud make posi tion opposite Fredericksburg. This officer moved with great promptness, and reached Aquia Creek on the night of the 3d. His troops were immediately landed, and the tran sports sent back to Gen. McClellan. About this time I received information that the enemy was preparing a large force to drive back Gen. Pope, and attack either Washing ton or Baltimore. The information was so di rect and trustworthy that I could not doubt its correctness. This gave me serious uneasiness lor the safety of the capital and Maryland, aud 1 repeatedly urged upon McClellan the neces sity of promptly moving his army so as to form a junction with that of Gen. Pope. The evacuation of Harrison's Landing, however, was not commenced till the 13lb, eleven days alter it was ordered. Gen. Ualleck speaks in detail of the effects of McClellan’s delay upon Pope's arrange ments and “dispositions” which he says were “well planned.” He says: On the evening of the 27th Gen. Pope or dered Gen. P irter to be at Bristow’s Station by daylight oil the morning of the 28th, with Morell’s, and also directed him to communi cate to Bank, the order to move forward to Warrenton Junction. All trains were ordered this side of Cedar Run, aud to be protected by a regiment of infantry, and a section of ar tillery. For some unexplained reason Porter did not comply with this order, and his corps was not in the battles of the 28th and 2t»th. Heiutzelmau's corps pressed forward to Manassas on the morning of the 28th, and forced Jackson to retreat across Bull Run by the Ceutreville turnpike. McDowell had suc ceeded in checking Lee at Thoroughfare Gap, but the latter took the road from Hopeville to Xewmarket aud hastened to the relief of Jack son, who was already in rapid retreat. A por tion of McDowell’s corps encountered the re treating column on the afternoon of the 27th, near Warrenton turnpike, and a severe but successful engagement ensued. Jackson was again attacked on the 2flth, near the old battle ground of July, 1861. Knowing that Long street w as not distant, lie made a most desper ate stand. The light continued nearly all day, and was terminated only by darkness. We hud gained considerable ground, but nothing was decided when the battle closed. It was renewed tile next morning, and after another day's hard flghting.our forces fell back behind Bull Run, the enemy not attempting any pursuit. Two days later, however, he threw a considerable force between Chantilly aud Germantown to turn Pope’s right. Hook er dislodged them alter a short but severe en gagement, in which Brig. Gens. Kearney and Stevens, two of our very best officers, were killed. Pope's army had been relnfored by the corns of Franklin and Sumner, aud no lurther upprehen-ions were f. It for its safety. During ihe operations ol'tlie previous week, of which we received very favorable, but not trustworthy accounts, every effort was made to push forward supplies and reinforcements to Gen. Pope's army. Tlie troops from tlie peninsula were ordered not to wait for trans portation, but to march immediately to the Held of battle. Some of tlie corps moved with becoming ac tivity but the delays of others were neither creditable nor excusable. In order to recognize the different corps, get stragglers buck into the ranks, and to supply deficiencies of ammunition, clothing, etc., caused by recent losses. General Pope request ed, and received directions to bring his army within the defenses of Washington, which were then under the command of Gen. Mc Clellan. This movement was effected on the night of the 4th, w ithout loss. Gen. Pope be ing now second in command of the united for ces, applied to be relieved, and was transferred to another department. Although this short and uctive campaign was, from causes already referred to, less successful than we had reason to expect, it had accomplished the great and important object of covering the capital till troops could be collected for its defense. Had tlie army of the Potomac arrived a few days earlier, the rebel army could have been easily defeated and perhaps destroyed. After giving an account of the disgraceful surrender of Harper’s Ferry by Col. Miles, within hearing of tlie guns of McClellan, and the battles of South Mountain and Antietam, the report continues. From the 17th of September till the 20th ol October. McClellan’s main army remained on the north hank of the Potomac, in the vicinity of Sharpsbtirg and Harper's Ferry. The long inactivity of so large an army in the face of a defeated foe, and during the most favorable season for rapid movements and a vigorous campaign, was a matter of great disappoint ment and regret. Your letter of the 27th, and my reply on the 28th of Cctober. in regard to the alleged causes ol this unfortunate delay, I submit herewith, marked l'.xhibit No. ,7, in reply to the telegraphic order of the Cth of October, quoted in my letter ol'tlie 26th,above referred to. Gen. McClellan disapproved of the plan of crossing the Potomac south ol the Bine Ridge, and said he would cross at Har per’s Ferry and advance upon Winchester, j He, however, did not begin to cross till the 2(>th of October, and then at Berlin, j 'fids passage occupied several days, and was j completed about the ;id of November. What caused him to change his views, or what his plan of campaign was, I am ignorant, for al>out this time he ceased to communicate with me in regard to his operations, sending his re ports directly to the President. On the 5th iust., I received tlie written order of the Pres ident relieving Gen. McClellan and placing Gen. Burnside in command of the army of the Potomac. The order was transmitted by a special messenger, who delivered it to Gen. 1 McClellan at Rectortown on the 7th.

It still goes on, and will as ever rely upon the seasonable contributions of a liberal public to enable it to afford duriug the present winter all needful relief. cy- We clip the following list of promo- j lions in the Seventeenth Regiment, U.

Pedlar Arrested.—City Marslial Huse yesterday arrested a pedlar who was going from house to house selling glass ware, aud receiving payment in rags, Ac. The man pro duced a United States license for peddling which he had obtained at Augusta. He was told that this was of no avail to him here; that in order to peddle in this city or county he must obtain a license from the County Commissioners, and must prove his good char acter, aud must have been a resilient in the comity one year. His goods were taken and he was given until uiglit to leave the city. When ready to leave his goods would be re stored to him. Professor Briggs’ Readings.— There was not such an audience at Mechanics’ Hall last evening as the readings of Professor Briggs deserved. His recitations were admi rable, especially those from “Pickwick” and “Les Miserables.” We hope at the next enter tainment the hall will he filled. The echo, which to some extent prevailed last evening, will thus be avoided, aud the reader will enter into his subjects with more, spirit. ~y~Bangor auil Lawrence exchanges arc making merry about the recent muddy condi tion of Commercial street in this city.

The room, though not 1 ao large, is much pleasanter than the former one, and, what is better, it reduces his expens- es, which were last year $300 over his receipts, j We trust he will receive this year at least a sufficient amount to cover expenses. £ySteauiskip Jura will sail for Liverpool j this afternoon, after the arrival of the train from Canada with mails and passengers.

Negotiations between the Rebel Leaders and Northern Democrats.—Subscription tor the English Operatives.—Special Cabinet Meet ing. New York, Dee. 5. At a meeting of theCluunber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, fg(!S,200 were subscribed and a skip offered hi carry grain and provi sions to tlie suffering English operatives. The Times’ Washington dispatch says a special cabinet meeting was held yesterday, which, occurring only one day in advance of the regular meeting, is regarded as an event of unusual interest. The Tribune's Washington correspondence contains the lollowing statements: Dr. Bar ney, a citizen of Baltimore, was recently taken by tlie rebel pickets nem Ceutreville, and for warded to Richmond. He has since stated that lie went in their way for the express pur pose of being captured. While in Richmond, where lie lias acquaintances, he had frequent interviews with the confederate cabinet, and was admitted into many of the secrets of the rebel programme. When the time arrived for his departure North, he was sent for by Judah P. Benjamin, who handed him letters address ed to Gov. Seymour of New York, Fernando and Ben. Wood, Vallandigham and Cox of OhifT. Senator Bayard of Del., Keverdy John son is Md., and a number of oilier democratic leaders in tile Northern and Border States.— In tlie verbal instructions given to Dr. Barney, no terms were asked for. Tlie Southerners told him they would consent to no terms—that if not admitted into the Union again as equals, they would uot come in at all. What they ask is tlie granting of an amnesty to all tlie military and civil leaders of the rebellion, so that an election for members of Congress can be made during the coming winter, and that body be called together at least as early as 11. Gallant Action of Federal Cavalry with a Superior Rebel Force. New York, Dec. 6. A Suffolk letter of the 3d Inst, to the Her ald, states that Col. Spear, with 300 cavalry, was sent to Cassville. where, on Tuesday morning, he was attacked by 700 rebels. Col. Spear's men were at breakfast, but at the first signal of danger the 300 men were in saddle, and, led by their gallant Colonel, dashed out of the camp to meet the foe. The rebel force was not prepared for the fierce charge of the 11th Pennsylvania caval ry, and gave way like a flock of sheep, ami sought safety in flight. A more eoinple rout of an assailing lorce has not probably taken place since the commencement of the war. The enemy's force was estimated at some eight hundred strong, and had attached to it a section of the famous Rocket Battery. In the fearful onslaught of our forces the rebels be came panic stricken, and had not time to save their efiective means of defence, the Rocket pieces, which fell Into our hands almost with out a struggle, with the horses, ammunition, accoutrements, and everything necessary to their service. Reported Capture of a Wagon Train by the Rebels, New York, Dec. 5. The ncrald has the following: Headquarters Army of tlie I’otoinac, Dec. 4th.—It is rumored that a train of wagons loaded witli ordnance stores, en route via Oc coqtian and Stafford, lues been raptured near the former place. Nothing had been heard from the train late last evening, and it is feared the report may lie true. Many of our batteries have been protected by earthworks, and extensive fortifications commanding tlie enemy’s position are ap proaching completion. The Times’ corres]>ondent at headquarters says tlie result of Gen. Burnside's interview with the President is that he will now be let alone, and be allowed to follow out his own plans in his own way, free from bureaucratic dictation at Washington, and is confident that he will have from tlie government all the as sistance he asks for. Movement of a Large Rebel Army from Ar kansas to Mississippi. Cairo, Dec. 4. The Memphis papers say that (ten. Holmes crossed from Arkansas to Mississippi at Vicks burg, last week, with a force estimated at for ty thousand. Guerrillas are still very troublesome in the city ot Memphis. They continue to burn cot ton and press men into the retiel service.— They have picked up a number of stragglers from our army. Tlie expedition which left Helena lasf week is said to number 20,000 men, and will move overland toward Grenada. Another Report about Stonewall Jackson. Philadelphia, Dec. 4. Tlie Washington Star of this evening has tlie following: “Fairfax iitatian. Dec. .3—P. if.—There is no news from our front. A man lias arrived in our lines from New Orleans, witli a pass from Gen. Butler, lie came via Richmond and Gordonsvillc-to Madison Court IIouse,and says that a part of Jackson’s forces were at tlie latter place a week ago, and went thence to LibertylMills, where they encamped next day. Steamers Arrived. New York, Dee. 0. The steamships City of Manchester and China, from Liveriiool, arrived at daylight this morning. Finny—To see (lie prospectus of the Port land Advertiser, (which by the way is quite a lit-rary curiosity from which we may make some extracts when we can find nothing more “funny” to publish,) inserted in all tlie papers of "Southern proclivities,” with Uighlaluten editorial laudations of the excellence of that republican concern. What is still more “funny" is to notice that these immaculate democratic aiders of the Southern confedera cy cannot speak favorably of the Advertiser without a characteristic fling at tlie Portland Press—a paper that lias so taken tlie wind out of llie sails of the Advertiser that it is com pelled to resort to the blowing of every seces sion sheet in the Slate in order to keep its rags flapping. Tlie Press has reasons for congrat ulation that it enjoys the cordial hate of all such lovers of the Portland Advertiser.—I Hal lowell Gazette. £Jp“The three-footed Oxford bear is dead, after a chase of live days; desperately wound ed with an ax on the third day, having been caught in a hollow stump, but still lively enough to run forty or fifty miles before he was finally shot. The bear was a local celeb rity, his peculiar tracks having been for many winters visible about the Oxford sheepfolds. Gross receipts of the hunt: ten dollars for the hide, four dollars bounty, and one hundred and forty pounds of rough grease. So says the Oxford Democrat. An Extravagant Beatty.—A Richmond correspondent of a Southern paper says: Fol ly and extravagance have not ceased with the war. 1 heard of a young Richmond belle, yesterday, just aliout to lie married, who paid $85 for one bonnet, $50 for a second, and $45 for a third, for her nuptials. This is none of Dixie’s business, but the young bride had far better have given two-thirds of the money to cover the feet of the soldiers than her own pretty head. J3P“The business of counterfeiting rebel State Treasury notes, lately detected at Rich mond, was traced to some negroes who were engaged to sweep out the treasury depart ment. One stole the blanks, while another filled up and signed them Naval.—Rear Admiral Porter has pro nounced the gunboat Eastport unseaworthy, and she is to be immediately put out of com mission, and her officers and crew placed on some more effective craft. E^~The New York Herald has raised its price to three, cents a copy. The New Bed ford Mercury has also increased its price to three cents. The Case of Gen. Stone.—There wan an omission in the telegram about Gen. Stone. It should have read that Gen. Hooker’s appli cation was endorsed, “not granted.” TO THE Portland Daily Press. FROM WASHINGTON. Reply of Gen. Scott to President Buchanan. The McDowell Court of Inquiry. Testimony of Gen. Pope at the trial of Fitz John Porler. Committeo on the Conduct of the War Fer retting out Delinquents. Washington, Dee. 5. Gen. Scott, through the columns of the .Na tional Intelligencer, briefly and finally replies to ex-President Buchanan, denying that he (Scott) has any private resentments to gratify, and stating that he has received many official courtesies from the late President of the U. S., hut to vindicate the justice and truth of history is a paramount obligation. Gen. Scott then shows that certain Southern States re ceived an undue proportion of arms, and that many of them were not condemned. Commander George II. Cooper lias been or dered to tlie temporary command of the Con necticut, and upon his arrival at Port Royal, S. C., to transfer tlie Connecticut to Captain Stella Vagen, and to assume command of the Mercidita. Tlie Committee of Ways and Means have prepared a bill authorizing all officers under tlie direct tax and excise laws to administer oaths. In the McDowell Court of Inquiry to-day, the defence oirered the testimony of Colonel Rugglcs to prove that the witness examined yesterday was a man wholly without good reputation, having been engaged in attempting frauds against the government, but this testi j inony was ruled out by the court, when Gen. I McDowell entered a protest against tlie pro ceedings. Gen. Heiutzelman testified to the entire total abstinence of Gen. McDowell from the use of wines and liquors, directly contrary to the evidence of the prisoner's witness. In tlie Porter court martial case, Gen. Pope wits cross examined lor a long time uy inn counsel for the defendant. Among the ques tions asked Gen. Pope was why he had ex i pressed to Geu. Porter two days after his alleged i disobedience of orders, his determination not to report him for delay, or to take any action looking to his impeachment. To this question Geu. Pope answered that he did not think that Gen. Porter deliberately withheld his troops from him. hut that this idea probably originut j ed in a mistake or blunder. The committee on the Conduct of the War 1 at its meeting to-day appointed Representa tives Covode, Gooch aud Odell a subcommit tee to investigate the alleged abuses ut the camp of the convalescents, also the condition of the wouuded anil sick soldiers, with a view to the immediate discharge of those who may he found to lie permanently disabled or unlit for duty. The committee will also investigate the subject of absenteeism of officers and men j from the army without proper authority, and the conduct of army surgeons and their treat- i j ment of the men entrusted to their care. They will also recommend the adoption of stringent measures to promote the efficiency i of the army. Federal “Shells” Refuse Duty. New York, Dec. 5. A special dispatch to the Post says that Gen.
