Letter from the Federal Capital. Washington, Dec. 23,1862. The last week was one of great and con stant excitement at the Capital. First came the roar and thunder of battle from Freder icksburg. followed by a silence gloomy and ominous; then the air became full of rumors, vague and conflicting; audut last, when boat loads of wounded were brought to the wharves, and their mangled and bleeding forms in long and ghastly processiou were carried along our streets, on their way to the various city hospitals, we kuew in part how great bad been our disaster. Of the criticisms, strictures, and denunciations, which were so rife, founded as they were on partial knowl edge of facts, and drawn out by the anguish and anger of deleat, there is no need to speak. As if however convinced that the war must be carried on upon some other plan than that which has thus far divided and scattered, ratti er than concentrated our forces, CoDgress did little ordinary business, and the Kepubli cau Senators held long secret caucuses. Then it was announced that the Secretary of |Me had resigned, that Gen. Burnside had asn|R be relieved, that Secretary Stanton had re signed, or was about to do so, witli I know not what other exciting reports. Before Saturday night there were reports that every member of the Cabinet had ten dered his resignation, that there was to be a complete and thorough reconstruction of it, and such progress indeed had rumor made in some quarters, that the new Secretaries were already named. The week closed with more excitement in political circles than I have ev er before witnessed. Mini day morning brought us a large in stallment of surmises and conjectures, but very few certainties. The Premier has many friends, yet his retirement from the Cabinet at this time would hardly produce any very deep or general regret, as lar as 1 can judge of pub lic feeling. He has managed our foreign rela tions with dignity and ability; but so far as lie has exerted an influence upon the conduct of home aflairs, and most lieiieve that influence to have been great, he seems not to have been in favor of boid^ounsels, or decisive acts. The late disaster on the Kappahnanock, the deplorable mistake of sending a large force in to Southern waters at this conjuncture, the misfortunes which seem to liave attended at least some portions of the Bauxs expedition, will probably go far to make changes in Uie War and Navy departments, acceptable to the country, if such changes really occur. But, amid all the censures and criticisms which ore now flying here as thick as the grape and can ister that lately swept the hills and slopes of Fredericksburg, 1 have heard of no censure of the Secretary of the Treasury that did not seem dictated by partizan animosity. Every one, whom I liave heard discussing probable cabinet changes, has spoken of Mr. Chase os a man who cannot be spared from his post with out detriment to the public service. On Friday, Mr. Kelley made a noble speech In the House, in answer to certain Border State men aud their Northern allies. Yester day a speech of similar scope and purport was made, iu the Senate, by Mr. Lane of Indiana. In the course ot it he gave the late Democrat ic victories a pretty thorough sifting, and _1_1 sL.s t __Os.s. I_a A. vuvnvvi m uvww wo Kitv a suit was owing to the fact that all the cowards and traitors and sneaks had remaiued at home to vote just such men as themselves into of fice, and, in addition to what they could do le gally, bad cast a heavy fraudulent vote, ap proximately estimated at seventeen thousand. Iu reply to Mr. Powell's jubilations over the results of the elections, lie declared that, for himself, “he could rejoice in no triumph, when he must mingle his rejoicings witli those of the enemies of bis country.” In ullusion to Mr. Davis’ brilliant and patriotic idea of re-cou structing the Union with New England lelt out, the western Senator paid the proscribed section a noble tribute, declaring that, if ever that should be, lie would go to New England, where be could have at least a stripe of the old flag over him, and where he could die in the assurance that no tyrant would ever tram ple upon his grave. Once at least, stirred by the fiery words of this old mail eloquent, the galleries forgot the stem and grave decorum of the Senate, and broke out into applause. Senator Lane is a flue sample of a western man, tall and sinewy, rather careless in dress and appearance, unstudied in manner, but with a stout true heart in him—a heart that loves freedom and hates slavery witli equal fervor—a good intellect, a sound judgment, and plain, strong sense. He is not graceful iu speaking, but often, as in the'case just cited and in the Bright expulsion case.he rises with out any premeditated effort into bursts of the most genuine eloquence. -Gen. Burnside’s report, received since writing the above, has produced a great sen sation, exonerating, as it does, the President and Secretary of War from all responsibility for the attack at Fredericksburg. It is strong ly in Gen. Burnside's favor, that he dares take great responsibilities and frankly acknowledge bis own acts, even when they have resulted most disastrously. This morning the excite ment seems to be abating, and the probabili ties are strong, that tiiere will be no change in the cabinet. The House lias voted to take a recess for the holiday,and very unexpectedly to many the Senate has concurred. Friday's ses sion will therefore be the last until the first Monday of January. T. S. H. SlxbvHXB, Dec. 23, 1802. To the Editors of the Press The intense cold wliii-u |las reigned here tlie past few days, preventing all communica tion witli the post office and the rest of man kind, lias become less severe, and we are be ginning to receive direct Information from our friends in the army. Nearly every family In this vicinity lias friends in the army, and one, I am sorry to say, hns brothers in the rebel service. Soir.e Imve already learned of Bfcmls killed or wounded. Our letters, generally, are of a personal character and give but'little information of general interest. 1 am permitted however, to send you some quotations from a letter writ ten by an officer in Howard's division. “The loss in our division was 1200 or 1300. Hancock and French lost even more, making the loss of the corps nearly equal to what it was at Antietam. It was a mighty struggle. The enemy were strongly entrenched. They poured a murderous lire from rifle pits and batteries upon our lines, as they attempted to charge upon them. Col. Miles, with the mag nifleeut little 01st Xew York and the 69th, which were with us at Fair Oaks, came near reaching the crest of the hill, where were the breastworks aud batteries. ■‘But Miles being wounded in the neck, not dangerously, and a storm from the rifles and art llery being ran d upon them, they were forced to give way.” It is proper to remark that these were*the two regiments led by Gen. Howard in his fa mous charge at Fair Oaks, where he lost his right arm. They are of the same brigade,that gained so much honor at Antietam under the gallant Gen. Caldwell of Maine, the successor of Gen. Howard in the command of that brig ade. Gen. Caldwell commanded them at Freder icksburg, where, I believe, he was wounded. At Fredericksburg Gen. Howard's Division was hotly engaged in the afternoon ami eve ning of Saturday, two brigades holding their own some time alter their ammunition was ex hausted. The horses of Gen. Howard and his brother and aid, Lieut. Howard were wounded, the latter twice. Lieut. linear I, was slightly wounded in the left leg; the right, wounded at Fair Oaks, has recovered its strength. Gen. Howard has been nominated for Major General by the President and will probably be confirmed as soon as Congress changes the law limiting the numltcr of Mqjor Generals. The limit was fixed at 30 before calling out the last 300,9011 men, but it is supposed that the number will bo changed to meet the exi gencies of the service. A LIEUT. SURPRISED. Again I quote an amusing, though it might have been a serious, circumstance from the letter referred too. “While the enemy were shelling ns to-day. a shell hur-i in (ren. Couchs quarters, in a room in which one of his aids was asleep. I It passed straight through the brick wall, and then exploded. I need hardly add. that the Lieut, awoke about as suddenly as ever one did. and for some time could scarcely compre hend the Ktatua rerum. When he was fairly himself again, he was gratified to tlnd that be was ucither killed nor hurt." DEMOCRATIC IDEAS IX SI.AhVII.I.E BEFORE •VXD AFTER THE BATTI.E. The Argus and Newman’s paper (of Hal lowed) are the printed sheets imported into this community. The influence which they exert over their renders is surprising. Their opinions are accurately represented by these conflding people. It has liecn amusing to no tice tiie difference in their opinions belore and since the battle of Fredericksburg. Before this batlie.no language was too severe against the Administration, because it would not at low Burnside to advance. Since, the same has lieeu the case because, as they allege, Burnside was ordered to advance contrary to his better judgment. A story was told me recently, by an old far mer, of a Dutchman who was in the habit of coming home late at night nearly “half seas over," and whose chief delight ou those occa sions seems to have lieeu to abuse a very affec tionate and dutiful wife. One night, return ing late aud, if possible, worse utT than us ual, while approaching his hovel lie thus solil oquized “Vat for shall I lick Mary to-night I know not. I want not to take the same thing as last night. What has she been to do Mine Gotti I have it. I ask her if she feed the horse; and if she have I lick her. and if she haven’t pe Limned but I lick her for that.” Our Democratic friends are bound to bluinc the Government, whatever it may do.

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND, MAIN'S Tuesday Morning, December 30, 1863. Ttf The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the oity. “The Union as it was." "The Union as it tons exclaims every mod ern democrat and pro-slavery sympathizer, who thinks more of conserving old errors than of defending vital principles; and so it has come to be the watchword of the opposition “Th# Constitution as il is-; the Union as it was.” We have taken occasion to speak of the first member of this proposition, and to show that the idea of retaining and insisting upon the Constitution as it is, was not born in the brains of those who now clamor for it until the last hope of changing it to suit the purposes of slavery,had effectually faded out. It is because of no special respect or reverence for the Constitu tion itself that it Is now demanded unchanged, but, failing to secure a desired change, the friends of slavery, fearing such a change may be made as will be adverse to their pet protege, clamor for an unchanged Constitution. But no one is disposed to quarrel with the persons who thus clamor, however much their motives may he disliked, for all are willing to abide by the old Constitution,at least until such time as Its provisions may be reviewed, and revised if needs be, in the way and manner provided in the Constitution itself. But when the demand is put forth for “the Union as it was,” and this is declared to be a condition of support of the government, and the people are virtually invoked to revolt agaiust all efforts to preserve the Union or to restore it except as it was, then every loyal man has a right to remonstrate against the quasi trenson that insists upon such a demand and such a condition. The Union as it was.’ The thing is utterly impossible. Vandal hands have been laid upon that Union, and its beau ty and symmetry have been marred, and no power short of Omnipotent can mend up the shattered links and restore all the fragments to the exact position they occupied before this unholy rebellion wits precipitated upon our once iieaceliil and happy country. The Union as it tens.' The Union a, it was Intended to be by our fathers; the Union such and perpetuate, and of which it was to be the bond; the Union such os Jackson coutern- j plated when he said—“it must and shall be preserved,’’—such a Union would realize the hopes of the patriot, and fulfll his most ardent anticipations. But the Union such as it had become, such as it had degenerated into, such as it had been made under the corruptions of designing men,—the restoration of such a Un ion would be one of the greatest calamities that ever befel a free people. For a moment contemplate such a Union, in which all the powers of the government were prostituted to the basest purposes; a Union in wuicb treason was plotted ill both Senate and Cabinet; a Uuion ill which official oaths were of no more weight than the thistledown that floats upon the breeze; a Union iu which free American citizens were not allowed to express an honest J opinion in nearly one-half the States of the confederacy; a Union in which outrages upon Northern Senators by the representatives of the Southern people were rewarded with/e/e* and mementos; a Union in one half of which free thought was a damning, sin worthy of a halter; in which neither exalted patriotism, sainted piety, refined education, gentleness of manners, purity of purpose, kindness of heart nor beucvolence of spirit was any protection to a man of anti-slavery instincts, against the brutality of mobs aud the violence of despera does and bullies. It was a Union in which the whole of the government was engaged to destroy the liberties of a feeble and defenseless hundfullof people, ami to force upon them, in the face of their indignant protest, a form of government and social institutions which from their inmost hearts they despised. It was a Union in which “border ruffians’’and unmask ed villains were allowed to overrun the rights of an infant territory, to plant among and force upon its population their own offensive cus toms and laws. Such was the Union as it had become under the. reign of desperate men; a Union which caine to outrage all the better feelings of the human heart, and to trample upon the common instiucts of a great people; and we say that such a Union were the worst form of despotism; and if the present war lias no other result than to burn up and utterly de stroy all the elements of such a Union, and to give us in its place a Union in which human rights shall lie deemed quite as sacred as State rights, iu which the law ol'God will be treated with something besides a sneer, in which truth, justice and equity shall be considered cardinal virtues, iu which an honest patriotic man will be allowed to entertain an honest opinion, in harmony with the laws of God and man, in any part of the country, then will our struggle not have been in vain;—then will the cost of j the war, in blood and treasure, vast as it may nave ueen, not prove 10 tie a nau investment. But we shall be told by those who clamor for “the Union as it was,” that it is not the evils referred to for which they would contend; that such evils and abuses were no part of the Union, only excrescences that had accumulat ed under it; that the Union they would have as it was, is the Union of States with institu tions undisturbed, with each restored to pre cisely the same status it occupied before the Southern disaffection culminated in civil war. To this we reply that the thing is impossible. As well look under the snows of winter for the violets of springtime. As well look in the debauchee for the elasticity and buoyancy of youth. As well look in the broken down and enervated drunkard for the clear head, the bright eye, and the accute conscience of the sober man. The thing, We repeat, is impossi ble. The Union, politically, can never he what it has been. Slavery, which was allowed under the Constitution as a tolerated evil, temporary and abnormal, and which for seventy years has been trusted—perhaps confided in—has proved itself the great element ol danger and discord in our form of government. It lias proved to be fratricidal, parricidal, and regiel cal; it has lifted the hand of brother against brother, of the child against f lic parent, and of a minority against the sovereign—the sover eign will of the sovereign people. No matter wbat else may come, of this we are sure— slaterj can never be trusted again! ThiB infernal element of despotism, or-rath er this essence of despotism itself, iu instigat ing the present rebellion staked Its all upon the issue. The struggle was lor Increased do minion, and failure will be but the signal of i Its doom. If the Union is restored and pre served it will lie with slavery restricted to 1 narrow limits, if uot entirely destroyed. It has waged bloody war against free govern ment, to erect a government such as the civil ized world has never yet seen, with negro slavery os it chief corner-stoue; and if iu this struggle it fall, the civilized world will pro nouuce against it, and henceforth its star will wane to total obscuration. And is It supposed that a free, Intelligent people will be content simply with refusal to lie subdued; that they will not turn upon their as sailants, and forever bar the entrance of anoth er rebellion like the present, at least, through the particular door at which this has found ad mittance Does any one suppose the free peo ple of America are hereafter, for any consider able time, to rest satisfied with the slave rep resentation principle in ottr House of Com mons? Does anyone suppose those who have suffered and sacrificed so much to preserve this fabric of liberty from the assaults of the slave power, will long consent to be slave catchers for a nation of rebels Doe9 any onw believe that slavery will be allowed ever to ex teud to another foot of free territory? that its limits have not been reached? that hence forth its advances will not be in the direction of total extinction? In these remarks wc are not so much indicating wbat ought to l>e, or what we would have done, as the natural operation of human action,and the results of a loug series of indignities and outrages which slavery has instigated against the loyal people of the coun try. It lias proved itself barbarous. It lias proved itself deceitful, treacherous, inhuman and despotic, and for all these qualities the people have ail inborn hatred. Knowing, therefore, what slavery is, what it lias done and wbat it bas attempted, and knowing the tendency of human action under long contin ual provocation and irritation, wc insist that slavery can never again resume its olden sway, and, therefore, the restoration of the Union as it was is an utter impossibility. Hundreds of thousands of the American people honest ly believed with Mr. Douglas, that slave states and free states could live together in the same Union on terms of equality and peaceful fel lowship that Mr. Seward was mistaken when he spoke of an “irrepressible conflict between slavery and freedom,” but hundreds of thou sands of the same men now as firmly believe Mr. Douglas was mistaken, and that Mr. Sew ard was right. Were Mr. Douglas to-day liv ing, ire have no doubt lie would frankly con fess his error. He confided too much in the honor of men who have since proved them selves devoid of honor; men from whose hearts all sense of honor had been driven by the demon of despotism, born and nurtured in the accursed atmosphere of negro slavery. The events of the last two years furnish am ple evidence that slavery and freedom cannot safely dwell together under the same flag. One must go t j the wall. One must die. And to show which we will copy the language of nno nf tlm runniif rrroot lumlnnn/iL nftkn Ik.tv, ocratic party, Hon. Hobert J. Walter: Slavery is the enemy of free government. It lias commenced and now wages an nulioly war against this Union, and thus assails the liberty of our country and of mankind. It' has framed a government based on the eterni ty of chattel slavery, and demands in its name to rule the larger portion of the Union. It seeks to sever the lakes from the gulf, and the mighty Mississippi audits vast arterial tributa ry system. It asks to be let alone in the commis sion of all these heaven-daring crimes. In the name of my bleeding country, of the millions whom it has doomed to death, or wounds, or chains, or misery; in the name of the widows and orphans it has made, whose bitter tears and agonizing sighs now till our laud with sorrow; in the name of the free and blessed government it seeks to overthrow, and the glorious Union it strives to dissolve; in the name of God and man.of religion and liberty, the world arraigns the criminal at the bar of justice. Now Is the day of trial: humanity hopes and fears, mankind awaits the verdict. It is rendered: Guilty upon every charge of the indictment; and heaven records the right eous sentence—Slavery must die, that the Union and liberty may lire forever! The Crowning Statue for onr National Capitol. Our readers probably have noticed, on the left hand side of the live dollar notes issued by the U. S. Government, the figure of a fe male adorned with an ancient helmet upon her head, her left arm resting upon the shield of the Union, her right hand upon a sheathed sword. This is a copy of the statue of Liber ty, which is to adorn the new dome ol the Capitol at Washington. Congress made an appropriation of *25,000 for a statue of Liberty to surmount the new dome, and the order was given to that emin ent American sculptor. Powers, to furnish the same. He made the model of a spirited fe male figure, which is considered his second best work of art- With her right arm raised and pointing to that Heaven in whose inspira tion she trusts, her left foot “tramples upon fetters.” The artist adopted this idea to show Liberty victorious over tyranny in general; but. when this model was offered to President Buchanan, he “smelt” a free soil or abolition sentiment, and thought the chains were the manacles of southern chivalry with which they christianize unwilling barbarians into i slavery; and so, true to his Southern proelivi- ties, he rejected the noblest work of American art, and ordered the military figure which adorns the bills, as above-named; which very appropriately bears the motto “ribus unutn,” which we suppose the engraver intended as a part of our national motto, “E pluribus unum.” If Congress dont now put Powers’ statue on the dome, we hope they will order it executed iu marble for the Inside. The Nineteenth Maine.—A private let ter from Col. Sewall, of the Nineteenth Maine regiment, published in the Bath Sentinel, con tains the following notice of that regiment at Fri>(tortnL-oltnvi* The men behaved splendidly, not one falter ed. They cheerfully endured the fatigue and hardshi|>s of the four days’ operations. The regiment was highly complimented for its good conduct under tire, by the old regiments, and this evening, Dec. 18th, Gen. Howard came to camp and addressed a few words to the men thanking them for their soldierly l>ear ing and firmness in the four days’ contest. He told them they reflected honor upon his native state. Lt. Col. Heath is highly commended for his coolness in action, which attracted the atten tion, and won the remark of many officers who noticed him. He certainly is one of the best and most efficient officers Maine has sent yut. The Hartford Press very truly says, “the most admirable report received from any General during the war is that of Gen. Burn side to Gen. Halleck, giving his reasons for making the attack as he did at Fredericks burg. Every one must admire its candor, modesty and manliness. He assumes the en tire responsibility of the movement, anti pro ceeds to justify it with a simple, plain state ment, in which his good sense, energy, and practical talent are strongly exhibited. It is a report that all can understand. Gen. Burn side trusts the people, and is not afraid to ex plain matters to them.” Maine Sixth.—Our correspondent “Skir misher” sends us the following list of casual!- 1 ties in the Maine Oth, received by the Gover- nor from Col. Hathaway, the very efficient and attentive agent for the State at Washing- 1 ton. The men are only wounded, and are comfortably in hospitals: M. J. Pennell, Co. B; Frank G. Leighton, G; Samuel Smith, E; B. W. Layton, D; W. W. French, I>; Chase W. Heher, D; Dennis Blakely, E; Austin H. Blaisdell. Artemas Ward says Alexander wept because there were not more worlds to con quer. It is a sad tiling to see a man w eep. But if one of our Generals would conquer the South, he might sit down and have a good long cry, and we could all stand the heart rending spectacle. Maine Camp Hospital Association. It is believed that the public will be inter ested in the following extracts from letters written by Mrs. Eaton, who, with Mrs. Fogg, is engaged in labors for the sick and wounded in the Maine regiments in the field. The de tails given show how the work is done, and will also indicate how we at home may co-op erate with them therein. Should any wish to aid in this enterprise let them forthwith pack their box and direct to Mrs. J. S. Eaton, care of J. W. Hathaway, No. 273 Fstreet, Washing ton, D. C., and send it to Mr. George R. Davis of this city, who will forward the same, send ing him notice of the same by mail: Stoneman'b Station, Dec. II, 1S62. I must seize a few moments to write you this evening, though 1 must acknowledge I do not feel much like writing alter the anxieties of the day. It is a new thing for me to listen to the cannon's roar from early dawn till eve ning. I cannot describe my feelings. At first, for about hull' uu hour, it seemed that I could not endure it. But soon I became more calm, and at length so accustomed to the sound that 1 could pursue the duties of the day. We understand, to-night, that Fredericksburg bus been burned; indeed, we could see the smoke distinctly; but you will have learned all the partienlars. As we proposed when I last wrote, we left Washington for Aquia Creek on Tuesday, the 2d inst. Arriving there safely in the evening, we found to our surprise that the place had been so thoroughly destroyed when last burn ed, that there was not even a place of shelter for us. We lodged ou the floor of the cabin of the boat. Nextday weproceeded to Falmouth Station, where we found ourselves in the same condition—no house there. A colonel of a Maryland regiment encamped there, politely took our baggage in charge and sent the offi cer of the day with us to Gen. Sumner’s head quarters. There an ambulance was furnished for Gen. Burnside’s headquarters. There Dr. Lettennan, medical director ol the army of the Potomac, with whom Mrs. Fogg was pre viously acquainted,ordered another ambulance for Gen. Hooker’s headquarters. It was now evening, and a house was found for our accom modation. I wish you could have seen it! Next morning we called on Gen. Hooker, who received us in a most affable and gentle manly manner, approved our work, and gave us an ambulance to visit the Maine Regiments in that vicinity. Since that time we have S|ient some time with the Maine 20th and the 17th. We find many sick among them. In the 20th about 75 arc receiving medical treat ment, though they have had but few in hospi tal, not having a suitable hospital tent. In the 17th they had over one hundred on the sick list, and about eighty in hospital. I can assure you our visits are most gratefully re ceived by those for whom we labor, and if I may judge from appearances, favorably appre ciated by officers.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Pitor. liuigos’ Readings.—Last evening Prof. Brings gave the fourth of his series ol Readings at the Lecture Room of Mechanics' Hall, to a very select and appreciative audi ence. The room was quite full. The selec tions generally were well made, and the most of them were rendered with fine effect- We should give the preference, however, to those of a humorous character, in which the reader seemed perfectly at home. “Handy Andy’s Bottle of Soda Water,” by Lever, was re ceived with decided favor. Prof. B. person ates the Irish character with great perfection. Poe’s “Raven” was recited without book or prompter, and portions of this peculiar and difficult composition were admirably rendered. “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” “The Rival Editors,” and “The Frenchman and the Rats,” were very finely presented. Iu the Gbost scene, ffom Hamlet, Prof. B. has an op portunity to display the depth and richness of his voice, and he improves the opportunity admirably. Iu the other Sliakspearean selec tions we did not think the reader so fortunate. For his age we doubt if Prof. B. has a living rival. A Heavy Mail.—The Southern mail re ceived at the Post Office in tills city last eve ning contained between three and four thou sand letters from New Orleans, written by our soldiers there to families and friends at home. With what emotions of joy will Ihesc letters he received by those to whom they are ad dressed. The mails East and North to-day will carry a rich tribute of affection. While the clerks in the Post Office were as busy as bees last night in making up the pack ages for mails, they were surprised by the en trance of a man bearing an extremely large package of contraband mail matter, in the shape of stewed oysters, with the condiments, sent iu by W. P. Preble, Esq., Clerk of the U. 8. District Court. The clerks soon made legal male matter of it, and the oysters were (Jjs trilmted almost as rapidly as they distribute letters. The oysters were capital, done up in James Freeman's best style. May we be there again when another lot is sent hi. it We would again call the attention of our readers to the re-opening of Wesley's Grand War Tableaux at Decring Hall to-night. Ail who visited it while on exhibition here be fore, spoke highly in its praise, and many of our citizeus expressed regrets at not being able to witness it then. To them we would say, do not fail to do so now. The wide-spread reputation of this great painting has been gained by its great merit as a work of art, as well as to the great subject which it repre sents. Almost all of our citizens have some friend in this great war, and, by witnessing the Tableaux, it brings them very near to them; in fact, the scenes are so truthfully represent ed as to make persons feel that they are part of it. Custom House Stamps.—We learn that on and after January 1, 1863, Internal Reve nue stamps will be required at the Custom House in this city upon every entry and clear ance. A supply of the proper stamps has been received at the Custom House, and also by the Collector of Internal Revenue. They vary from 23 cents to $5, according to the value of the goods entered and cleared. B3^“At a special session of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen last eveuing, the stalls in the Milk street Market were rented, to the present occupants, for the next year. The amount received for rent of the whole was $450. An order was passed giving the disposition of the annuity from the Clapp fund for the present year to the Widow's Wood Society. Caution.—Letters are frequently dropped Into the boxes at the Post Office with revenue •tamps on them, the senders presuming that such stamps will be current in payment of postage. Such is not the case, and all revenue stamps placed upon letters arc just thrown away; for, at the Post Office, the stamps arc killed, and the letters are charged with full postage. _ Arrival or tiie Caledonian.— Steam ship Caledonian, Capt. Craig, from Glasgow Dec. 3, via St_ John, N. F., 26th, arrived at this port about two o'clock yesterday afternoon.— She brings 10 cabin and 3” steerage passen gers, and an assorted cargo for Canada and New York. After discharging her cargo for Canada, she will proceed to New York. New Directory.—We are authorized to state that those citizens who have moved their places of business, or residence, or changed their business relations, since the city was can vassed for the new Directory, can he properly designated by immediately leaving a note rel ative thereto, at Thurston's Printing office, 82 1-2 Exchange street. tr At a meeting of the City Council, holden on the 22d Inst., Aldermen Larrabee and Shuttles’, and Councllmen Stevens and Fletcher, were appointed a special committee to make arrangements for keeping the harbor open and free from ice during the present wiu ter. Patties desiring to contract for this ser vice can apply to the Committee. Narrow Escape.—The Courier states that two lads yesterday morning had a narrow es cape from drowning, by the breaking of the ice near the Grand Trunk Railway, where they were skating. One of them managed to get out, and assisted the other, tylio, with some difficulty, was rescued. By Don't forget the entertainment of the Spiritual Association, at Lancaster Uall, this evening. It will be an interesting exhibition. At the representation of it on Christmas eve ning the applause was vociferous, and it was well bestowed too. Ey*Bemember that Chandler and hts origi nal Quadrille Band, with two extra pieces, plays gt Lancaster Hall on Xew Year’s Eve for the Temperance Assemblies of sixteen dances, to dance the old year out and the new year in. 5TA few gentlemen of this city have pre sented the West Congregational Church with the Communion table, which was formerly in the 2d Parish Church, and at which Dr. Pay son so long administered the elements of that ordinance. Railway Traffic.—The receipts on the Grand Trunk Railway for the week ending Dec. 20th were $04,283,18 Corresponding week last year, 104,048,50 Decrease, $0,705,32 Personal.—Brigadier General Xathl. J. Jackson returned home from the Held of battle last Wednesday. He was in the city yester day in good health and spirits. He will return to his brigade to-morrow. ByThe steamer John Boll arrived out at Glasgow in 13 days, she was to leave that port for Portland on the 13tli of December, and may be expected here daily. By About 70 members of the 7th Maine Regiment arrived here from the South yester day, and proceeded to Camp Abraham Lincoln. What shale we but?—This is the ques tion which agitates the minds of parents just now; and we advise those on whom the usual holiday demands will be made, to step into the I bookstore ol Bailey Noyes, fully believing j that the number and variety of books to be found there will satisfy the most dilllculU— They have a fine assortment In the uiosi splendid bindings, as well as all the standari publications in less showy but more usefu covers. If you want photographic Albums, it is th place to buy at Bailey Noyes. For the Juveniles they have replijnisliei their counters, and Young America cauno fail to ttml something to please. Besides these no doubt a good variety of fancy goods uta. be found to tempt the buyer. It is well wort the time spent in examining this collection i holiday goods. Look oct fob toub Stoke Keys.—Las Saturday a gentleman doing business on For street missed the key of bis store, which b had lelt in the lock on the inside. Suspeclin, that it had been stolen, and having a duplicat key, he watched on Sunday for the rogue. About six o'clock the thief came and, as h was about entering the shop, lie was seizei and the key taken from him. Some circum stances connected with the case induced th owner of the shop not to prosecute the fellow and he was discharged with an admonition. BY TELEGRAPH -TO THE EVE\I\«; PAPERS.

His repth corps of the army of Vir ginia under Gen. Porter, was sworn. He gave the particulars of his arrival at Warren ton J unctiou with his brigade on the 27th of August, after a march of from 18 to 19 miles. He also spoke of the unfavorable condition of the roads, the darkness of the night, the ex haustion ot the troops, Ac., which retarded his movements by the route lie had pursued. He was also examined minutely as to the part lie had taken in the battles of the 29th and 30th of August. Whilst testifying on this poiut he referred to a conversation on the battle Held between Gens. Porter and McDowell, which he had not overheard, but supposed it I Hire somewhat upon an order he had received al most immediately after in regard to the charge that Gen. Porter had criticised the manage ment of Gen. Pope, and had otherwise dis played insubordination and lack of energy.— He said he knew of no instance wherein Gen. Porter had failed in his duty to his command er or his country. In the McDowell court to-day nothing new was elicited from the cross examination of Gen. Stgel. His replies were repetitions of his previous testimony, or dry details, the signifi cance of which may not fudy appear until all the evidence shall have been obtained.

POETRY. Poem, by “Stonewall* Jackson. Now that President Lincoln's reputed poem has re ceived its quietus, Uie quidnuncs will undoubtedly be glad to read “Lines by Stonewall Jackson." We find the following verses in the Liverpool Courier, and have the authority, such as it is, of that newspa per for stating that they were written while the so-cal led author was serving in the Mexican war, and “evince tii»t tenderness of feeling which is often as sociated with courage and resolution." The tattoo beats—the lights are gone; The camp around in slumber lies; The night with solemu pace moves on, The shadows thicken o’er the skies; But sleep rav weary eyes hath flowu, And saa, uneasy thoughts arise. I think of thee—oh! dearest oue, Whose love mv early life hath blest— Of thee and him—our baby son— Who slumt>ers on thy gentle breast; God of the tender, frail, and lone, Oh! guard the gentle sleeper’s rest. And hover, gently hover, near, To her, whose'watchful eye is wet— To mother, wife—the doubly dear, In whose young heart have freshly met Two streams of love so deep and clear— And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Now, while she kneels before thy throne, Oh teach her, Kuler of the skies.

From Injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation bad been produced, in consequence of which I suffered constant martyr dom. Every moment of my waking life was embit tered, and I was frequently unable to sleep at uight. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, aud 1 entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball taken out of its socket, iu the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOH K1 f' II Alllt'S El E WATER. I bad never heard ol it be fore. but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results. In a very few days the paiuftil irritation was removed; 1 could bear the strongest light, and weut forth to the enjoyment uf a new life. I uow keep a bottle of it always in the house, aud if my eye stems at all disposed to annoy me. I give it a lose, and that isan end of it. I would not be with out it for any amount of money. I take occasion to lay, farther, that my wife used to suffer severely at iimes from protracted pain in and over her ere-, and ibe has found Poor Richard’s Ey* Watkr a sov iroigospecific in her case, giving her almost instant relief, (irateftrl to Clod lor the benefit that I have personally received.
