From a large number of certificates received from year to year, we present the following: From the Rev. 1'. G. iJimb, I*(tutor of the Baptist Church, Alexandria, ALEXANDRIA. Licking Co., Feb. 24. 1838. In January, 1K54.1 Jiad a severe cough, pro eecVn. ocl3-ly I DR. T. J.

Thrive Slowly*?it is dangerous for a man to grow rich and strong faster than he grows good. I do not think it is wise to grow rich too fast,.. at any: i rate. I do not mean to say that there may not be men of such slature that they can grow rich rapidly without being hurt by their riches; btft generally. God ma'kes the road to wealth one of care, so that the process in oris of education, and so that, when a man bad attained 'his compe tence, he hajs gone,through that which is a strengthener, stiffener, and which prevents his being much injured by it. But when men come into the possession of wealth without having earned it, hey are apt to be injured.bj it, because they have hot received that education which is necessary to enable them to administer it properly.?Bceeher. Miss Gordon, of Louisiana, a mem ber of the company of the Savannah .theatre, while playing HUy a short time ago in the drain*.'*8miles and Tears," seized an occasion to interpolate her part, and exclaimed with great bitter ness, "I despise the North; give me the Sunny South!" The empnasis with which the remark was given created load applause from the Southern por tion of the audience, and hisses lrom the Northern spectators. Qjiite a war of Communication is going on in the Savannah papers about this bit of im pertinence^ _ y What the United States' Government is saving to an Invader: "Max", get out Of ilex." Carious Revelations In Be|>el History A Georgian communicates through the Jfew York Tribune some new and interesting items of the recent history of the rebellion, which throw light on the motives of the chief conspirators. He states that when the provisional confederate congress-met at Montgom ery in 1861, the provisional presidency was privately offered to Alex. H. Ste phens, of Georgia. Be declined it be cause he did not believe in secession. He recommenned Toombs as the best secessionist for the place, and he would have been chosen if the Cobbs had not exerted their influence against him, and prevented his nomination by party strategy. Besides this, Toombs got beastly drunk on the night before the provisional president was elected, and Jeff Davis was elected, although the first;choice of onlyja small&ortion of the delegates. Mr. Stephens was persuad ed to take the vice presidency. His theory at that time was thnt secession would be in form merely, that there would be no war, and that the Union would be restored with now guaran tees to the South and to sla very. He and Toombs had held extensive correspondence with leading men in the West and Northwest, ana had come to the opinion that western men would not fight against the South, and that New England would not un dertake the job alone. Mr. Stephens said confidently that war was impossi ble, and Mr. Toombs offered "to drink all the blood that would be shed."? They were then^as incredulous as to the war, as the North was as to their deter mination to secede. Under this delusion of reorganizing the Union by a threat to dissolve it, Toombs went to work to get an act through the confederate congress permitting any state to join the confed eracy, whether holding slavos or not.? He And* Stevens believed that the con stitution as amended at Montgomery would be acceptable to a majority of the states, and if Now England, would not accept it she must be "left out in the cold." But the real secessionists dis liked this programme, and Davis gave oat word that he would veto Toombs' proposition if it passed, and it .was dropped. Davis having got his provisional gov ernment in operation, and it having be-, come certain that there would be war, Mr. Stephens tried to get some efficient measures taken for preparation, but Davis insanely delayed or defeated al most every measure of importance. After Pope's defeat in Virginia, Mr. Stephens proposed an effort for armis tice and compromise, and Davis con sented, but be fore any steps were taken he changed his mind, and sent Lee to invade Maryland and dictate terms of peaco in Washington at the point of tho bayonet. Stephens warneu him that this would only arouse tho North, and fill up its armies, but Davis was confi dent of success and laughed at Ste-1 phens. Subsequently Davis consent to let Mr. Stephens make an attempt peace, and then after it had failed he lied about it and sent Stephens home to Georgia in disgrace. Throughout the war Mr. Stephens always professed the highest respect for President Lincoln, with whom he had been on intimate terms in Congress. Davis seems to have had no real friends, and men stood by him only because they feared him. Senator Doot.ittle in his short speech against the adoption in the Sen ate of the House resolution appointing a joint committeo to inquire into the condition of the States lately in rebel lion; spoke of Thad. Stevens, of the House, as follows: I will not speak*of him as a member of the House, out as one known to his tory, who resides in the State of Penn sylvania. His history is known of all men, and one thing we know of him? he is most bitterly and uncompromis ingly hostile to the policy of the pres ent administration on the subject of re construction. He goes with him who goes furthest, holding even that the State of Tennessee was an alien State at war with the United States; that if I am not mistaken, in the convention at Baltimore which nominated Mr. Lin coln and Mr. Johnson for President and Vice President, Thaddeus Stevens ob jected to the nomination of Andrew Johnson because be was an alien ene my. 1 have seen nothing in the history of that gentleman to lead me to sup Eose that he has in any respect changed is opinions; for it is not long since we read a speech of his, delivered in the State of Pennsylvania, marked with his usual ability, and with that cool assu rance that sometimes rises to tho sub lime, in which he proposed, if I do not mistake, almost the entire and univer sal confiscation of the whole Southern States. The Wool Trade.?Our wool trade has grown immensely within the last five years. In 1860,33,000,000 pounds of wool were imported from foreign coun tries; in 1864, 76,000,000. In 1860 the United States produced 60,000,000pounds of wool; in 1864, 90,000,000. In 1860 we imported about $17,000,000 worth of manufactured woolens; in 1864, over 131,000,000. Value of woolen goods manufactured in the United States in 1864, ^121,868,150 83. One-third was the product of the single State of Massa chusetts. A bank director in Philadelphia late ly put in the stove in the bank a pack age of cancelled bills representing a sum of four hundred thousand dollars. Presently an explosion occurred; the top of the stove was blown off, and the pieoe^ scattered In all directions; and the wjaolo neighborhood was alarmed. Some theories maintain that the acci dent was caused by the inflation of the currency; others, of a more practical turn of mind, say that the stove blew up because it was tightly closed.

%hi3nidligwn\ CAMPBELL Ac M'DEBMOT EDITOR* and proprietors. TI EHDAY PEC. 19. Our CI I j EIkUob. We are gradually nearing another charter election. The turn of the new year will soon be upon us.'* Willing or' unwilling we iqus! all rouse ourselves and go to the polls and vote. So long as we have an election, vital to our most im mediateinterests, onceayaar, so long must we be content to go through the routine of nominating and voting for those who are to protect our lives and property during the year. We can not escape this duty by neglecting it, lor the consequences as we have often seen, come home to us in the shape of mal administration, which is always expen sive and derogatory. "Eternal vigi lance** in the way of eternal voting is the price we must pay for good govern znent. State, national or municipal.? We have always believed that our char ter elections occur too frequently. We do not relish their constant recurrence from ywr to year. We have been in hopes that before long we should all be willing to see them made biennial.? Still there is much to be said in favor of yearly elections, expensive and demor alizing as they most assuredly are in sotne respects. And until a change is made we must do the best thing we can to correct whatever evil attaches to! them, by electing the be^t men to office.' We mean best in ul! respects?morally, politically and in point of capacity. We do not want a man simply because he hits one ot these qualifications while he lacks the other two. Give us all of them if possible. We feel sure that this city has many men tit to be candidates j for the chief places, who are a credit to us in all three respects. We are happy to know that a good number of leading Union citizens are thus early in the canvass manifesting an unusual degree of interest in the next charter election. They desire to enlist the proper attention of the peo ple in time, aud not wait until the last hour of the canvass arrives as they al most did last year. It is in our power to accomplish a very different result i this time if we only do our duty in I each ward of the city. A majority of the voters in Wheeling prefer the sue-! cess of Union inen at every election, j all things being equal as rcpects the, personal fitness of the candidates. Ilut I the Union party cannot succeed with- i out organization and without thorough J work, as we have often taken occasion j to say in times past. Organization aud j work are neceasary and always will be in any cause or within any party, to get voters to the polls. With organiza tion and Work the Union men of this city can always succeed, as the whole history of the war lunhiiown, It is well for us thus early before the election to appreciate our duty and de termine u|*m its energetic discharge, i In this view no time should be lost in "organising victory" as resj>ects overv necessary doUiil in each ward. And just here we venture a word of advice. U*t un not repeat the folly of over-con fidence in those wards in which we have l**eii accustomed to large Union majorities, as was the caae in the HMo l?er election. We warned our friends then as we do now. Majorities are pro verbially unreliable. There is no lift tenure in them. They unn be held only by organization. While it here the work hud lM?on (lone and where it had been neglected. We fell short mainly in the very citadels of our strength, while we gained in the strongholds of the opposition. Let us move along the whole line this time. So shall our victory be certain and sweeping. Let the work be commenced at once and vigorously in every ward. By the time we ar*? fully under way with the canvaaa the day of election will not be far off. The loih Judicial 4 lreolt. The Berkley Union contains lion. K. B. Hall's answer to Judge Kennedy's notice of contest. We call it a very terse and telling document. We think l?y the time Judge Kennedy gets through with the specifications tlirtt are expected to be established against him, he will have little appetite left for con tests. Berkeley and JefFrraoti Count lea. Andrew llunter, the most offensive man who could present himself l?efore Congress from theee two counties, is making himself conspicuous in the work of detaching them, if possible, from West Virginia. He will not suc ceed, of course. We understand that he has been both at Richmond and Wa?hiugton,and that he acts likes fran tic man. He cannot bear the idea or being separated from his "dear old mother," or as Uiey pathetically tenu it at Richmond, "the dear old mother of us all." The Berkeley I ?w,a thinks that every loyal man in Jefferson can bear it, and as for Berkeley county she looks on the "dear old mother'* as the very Incarnation of the "strange wo man," and wholly unfit to live in the same family, after her late record, with decent people.

A small detachment of mllitarv, un der command of Lieut. Pfohl, liKkl New York, are now stationed in t'harlcs town. The oltfect of their being there is not known, uulesa it be iu connection with the Freed men'a school, which has just opened there.?ObiWc^'oirN, II*. Fa. J VfM. Exactly so, it seems to bo necessarv to protect not only loyalty but civiliza tion itself everywhere withiu rebcldom. Free schools, e*j?ecially schools for the Freedmeu, are the altouiination of the rebels. Their deeds having been so long evil they naturally prefer darkness to light. Bnt light wilt dawn upoxi them in spite of themselves. The rvign of the slave oligarchs is ended in the South. The institution*, sentiments and civilisation of the loyal States are pioneering their way throughout that section under the protection of the flag, against the barbaric ideas that culmi nated in the rebellion. GK.V. Rohkrt MrrcuKia. of West Vir ginia, has been appointed Governor of New Mexico.?Jn KxcJtanyc IXipcr. We should be glad if some body would inform the public somewhat of General Robert Mitchell, of West Vir ginia. Wo have seen the above an nouncement of his appointment in journals that ought to be authority. Perhaps they cam give us the desired information. A gentlema who recently inserted a "want" in the Chicago Josr-aoi,^received six hundred and thirty-two answers.? Who says the people dont read the ad vertisements? j The editors of the Richmond rebel newspapers are foolish fellows. They write a great deal of learned non sense. They quote a great deal of Lat- in, and mix' U tip oftentimes with very bad English. Most of them are regu lar Bohemians. Hence they bring to bear no practical sense in their politics. Just now they are assailing Governor Peirpoint, having nsed him sufficiently as they no doubt think. The Exawuncr wants the legislature to supersede him and get somebody in his place, known to. the editor. It disavows any a?- quaintanct* with the Governor. The Tittirs is likewise stupid and veneinous, i and the JEnquirer is scarcely less so. The Whig seems to have totally aban- 1 J doned all iU promise and promises of last spring, while the Dispatch professes no change of heart whatever. The ed itors of these papers are bidding high i for preference among their old patrons. They know of no way of editing a paper except to abuse people, especially to abuse the Yankees. They interlard their abuse with pedantic quotations from books that nobody ever read, in- eluding the editors. They generally j wind up their abuse with an intimation that anybody aggrieved can be redress ed bv calling on the writers at some j whisky shop, where they are always to 1 be found during business hours. j It is such fellows its these who affect I the custodianship of Virginia's proper i policy in this crisis. Their silly articles are tinged with pretentious advice as i to what becomes "Virginia gentlemen" j now a-days. They deprecate in a truly lachrymose and bellicose style the new j orderof things whereby fine old "Vir j ginia gentlemen" can no longer sup- ply themselves at a reasonable price j with "generous liquor," but are obliged to drink u fresh and very "inferior ar- tide," aud they drink so much of it j that they are dying off very fast, thus j leaving the race of "tine old Virginia j gentlemen" nearly extinct. The whisky bottles who write all this j stuff are the same fellows who assisted so materially in getting Virginia into the rebellion. They are now assisting j to keep her out of Congress and to pro- j serve martial law in the State. If they j were all suppressed and locked up in (fastle Thunder and allowed no whisky j there would speedily be a change for! the better. Cotton* is selling at New York at 49a 50c. A circular lately issued by a very accurate Euglish cotton house?the Neill Brothers?estimates the old stock of cotton at the South last spring at I 1.650,000 bales and the new crop at i 400,0*^0, making the whole amount A050.0U0, of which 1,090,3M bales have j already been sent forward. Their esti- i mates have been made up by personal j examination of the cotton growing ter i ritory, and gives 500,000 bales more than 1 [Secretary McCul loch has been wont to 1 estimate the atnouuL at. If the English 1 estimate proves true so much the better i for the government, the manufacturers I i and the southerners. The government will get the 2 cent, revenue tux upon, every j>ound that is moved, the manu- facturent will be glad to have the sup ply as large as possible, and the south j enters will naturally like to sell as much as they can, as that is their most available means of raising money. Probably half of the cotton now in the South has been bought and paid for with northern capital, and this is one reason why money is scarce. The hold ers send it forward sparingly so as to keep up the price, and tit present prices lit takes a great deal of money to carry a million bales of cotton. Money is in active demand at New York, but cull loans are pretty easily negotiated at 7 per cent, while mercan tile paper ranges from 7 to 12 |?er cent, and is not eagerly sought after. At Boston, money is easier of access and the demand for it is less pressing thnn for several weeks past, and the common rate for short loans with good collater als is 7 per cent. At Chicago, com plaint is still made that currency is very scarce and loans are not easily ef fected at 10 per cent.intercstat the lead ing discount houses, which are endoav iing to contract their loans, while pri vate huukcrs charge lu2 per cent per month. Tho recent decline fn the prices of grain and produce increased the demand for money,-as speculators wished to invest at the decline and hold for a rise. The j>ork packers are doing nothing yet, and are waiting for an ac i live demand from the East before com mcncing their winter's business in oar 1 nest. The general feeling in business circle* is good, but it is too near the close of the year for very great activity. Tub 1>kbt ov Viruinia.?Tho auditor of Virginia, in a report made on the 11th inst., puts down the amount of the registered stock of the State at $21,90ti, i 380, and of coupons issued by the State i at 5?12,973,ooo?making an aggregate of Tho amount of interest paid on the registered stock of the State sinco the first day of January, 1365. is $2?S9,S22 4tt. On the coupon l>onds of the State no interest has been I?aid since tho first day of Januarv, Si"?.

Titr.UK was heavy scolding in the 1'nited States Senate last week about the imperfect reports sent to tho asso elated press. Editors will sympathize i with Senutors in these complaints, and ?if any means can be found by which intelligible accouuts of tho proceedings of Congress can be given to the coun try, the press will universally welcome 1 it'us a long desired reform. 'The press reports were never more meager and stupid than now. 1 l Tins Cork Jferald^ speaking of tho! searching of the passengers on board j steamers arriving at Queenstown from j America, savs: "It is difficult to say whether a male spectator feels morein dignant than amused at beholding a |H>liceman 'feeling*a female passenger's back liair, done up in the present ex- i traordlnary fashion, for the purpose of I ascertaining whether it conceals arms, ammunition or documents." Tick'Boston .trfeerfwer,in speaking of the attempt of the Virginia JA*gislature to repossess Berkley and Jeflferson!

Mullett, assistant architect of the Treasury Department, has just re turned from the South, where he has been inspecting the government build ings under orders directed to him some weeks ago by the Secretary of the Treasury. The old Custom House and Marine Hospital at Charleston were found to be so badly wrecked that they will be useless. Mr. Mullett reports that the government buildings in the other Southern cities are generally in fair condition and will require but little re pairing. The uii The director of the United States Mint at Philadelphia has made for the Sec retary of the Treasury specimens of eagles, half eagles, dollars, halves and quarters, bearing the motto "In God we truBt." in addition to the other legends and devices upon the coins. Secretary McCulloch approves the designs, and the coin hereafter made will bear the motto. Tho smaller coins do not afford room for the words. A Herald's Washington despatch says: Further disclosures show that the frauds upon discharged soldiers by un principled claim agents, in the matter of procuring bounty land warrants along the Pacific, Railroad, will reach 8500,000 instead of 9200,000, as at first be lieved. Complaints of swindled dis charged Boldiere, who have received the advance foe of $25* are coming in at a fearful rate. Senator Doolittle's bill for the remov al of disqualification of jurors, in cases of trial for treason, by reason of previ ously expressed opinions, is still in the hands or the Judiciary Committee. The Tribune's Washington dispatch says Brevet Brig. Gen. Banning left last evening via Baltimore Ohio Kail road with his regiment, for Ohio. It was composed of 29 commissioned offi cers and 735 enlisted men, and was mustered out yesterday at Alexandria. They are ordered to Columbus for final discharge and payment.

He will also introduce a bill appropriating 300,000 acres fori nstituting in the Dis trict a normal school for the education of school teachers.

The Herald's Charleston correspond ent says: Rebuilding the city is about to com mence in earnest. Mr. Theodore D. Wayner will soon have a force of from 500 to 600 mechanics and laborexa em ployed in tho cleaning and erection of new buildings in the burnt districts laid waste in tho great fire of 1861. Mr. Wayner has in contemplation the erec tion of some 200 handsome buildings and stores by tho first of July. Others of smaller capital are commencing to clear their lota preparatory to building. The admission*of the State into the Union would have a wonderful effect on the business and prospects of the city. Capitalists are chary of investing money until the Stato and her citizens are rehabilitated in all their civil rights. Brevet Major General Devins is com manding the district of Charleston dur ing the temporary absence of General Bennet, of the regular Infantry. Interesting Mexican Hem. New York, Dec. 18.?The Herald's Vera Cruz correspondent states that the last news from the United States had caused a profound sensation, and was regarded by all as ominous of an ap proaching storm. The news that Major-General John A. Logan had been appointed as Minister to the Republic of Mexico was at once construed as a determination on the part of the United States to maintain that Republic even by foroe of arms. The anxiety to ascertain what will be the ultimate action of the United States in regard to Mexico daily increases among the Imperialists, and they were greatly alarmed by the information that General Grant bad publicly expressed sympathy with the Republican cause. This declaration by the Lieutenant General commanding the armies of the United States was regarded with the most solemn consideration. Nothing which had reached here for a long time past?in fact before or since the estab lishment of the Empire was put on foot ?had produced so great a sensation and evoked as deep a consideration, as did the brief speech of the Lieutenant-Gen eral commanding the armies of the United States. In this instance the speech was regarded, taken in consid eration with other facts, as the solemn and united utterance of the military force of the United States through Its chief commander. It was not believed that the Lieutenant-General spoke with out due deliberation and a full knowl edge of the extent to which his speech would command attention in this terfi rumor that'General Sheridan's army was being reinforced, and United States vessels were taking soundings in French harbors, also produced great ex aitemant. a Net/ York, Dec. 18.?Gold opened at 146X and closed at 146X.

Holmes, the passenger agent for the Wheeling and Parkersburg and Wheeling and Cincinnati packets, has started a "log-book" of the river and weather, at Messrs. Booth, Battelle Co.** store.

An Extensive Robbery.?On Sunday morning last, before daylight, a ware room back of the market house was broken open and robbed of a large lot of articles, consisting of watches, jew elry, boots, shoes, gaiters, Ac., Ac., all the property of Mr. John Ross. The theft was reported to the police, and officers Wallace and Brady went to work at the matter. Their suspicions were directed to a William James Chap line, and their suspicions of his guilt being confirmed they proceeded to ar rest him. They founa him on 5th street* but before they could secure him he broke away, across low, over fences and down into the city. The officers fol lowed him and brought him to on 4th street. He was lodged in jail, and con fesad the theft and and stated where the goods could be recovered. The officers instituted a search, which resulted in the recovery of all of the stolen goods except a pair each of gaiters, boots and shoes. The articles were returned to .the owner, and Chapline was sent up to the circuit oourt for trial. It Is a good thiug that this matter was placed so quickly in the hands of such efficient officers, as by this means a largo lot of valuable goods was recov ered, and a dangerous character placed in "limbo." River News.?The river was falling yesterday, with five feet and six inches in the channel. The Eayle left, for Parkersburg. The I'ototnac arrived from Cincinnati ubout two p. m. with a fine trip. The Nevada passed up. The Expresn Is the Parkersburg packet for to-day. The Potomac will leave for Cincinnati at 5 o'clock this P. M.
