THE NEWS. A lady arrived at Baltimore on Friday last irom Fortress Monroe. She had a heavy trunk, which. wa3 taken to the Northern Central Railway station, when. suspicion being aroused, the trunk was opened and found to contain a dead man.

On being arrested she acknowledged that he wrs a deserter, and that he had adopted thU means to escape and had died in the trunk. It is understood that the Brazilian Government is perfectly satisfied with the decision of the U. S. States Government in the Florida case. The Consul is to be dismissed, and the Captain of the Wachusetts suspended.

That portion of the expeditionary fleet under the command of Gen. Bailor which made the attack on Wilmington, has reached Fortress Monroe. At last advices Com. Porter was still shelling Fort Fisher. Hunter the notorious Missouri guerrilla has been arrested at Salt Lake City, while en route for California with in greenbacks, stolen from the bank of Bioom-ingtou a year ago.

The President has authorized Governor Brough, of Ohio, to raise ten new regiments for the term of cne, two and three years, a3 the recruit may elect. It is reported that Francis P. Blair, afrt Montgomery Blair, have gone to Richmond on a mission of peace, iu obedience to a request of Jeff. Davis. It is reported that the rebels are removing the heavy machinery from the arsenals in Richmond further South, preparatory to evacuating the city.

Maj. J. L. Shirk, surgeon, and Capt. R.

TV. Membernick, of the Tth Pa. Cavalry, were murdered by some guerrillas in Kentucky. At latest advices Gen. Thomas' headquarters were atPular-ki.

Gen. Steadmanis south of the Tennessee, and hence in the rear of Hood. Four of the St. Albans raiders, it is said, were captured at New Haven, last week. They had enlisted iu the Union army.

The rebels have kept up an unusually bri-dv fire on our lines in front of Richmond for several days. The cause is not known. Vico-Admiral Farragut, was presented with in New York on Saturday last a gift from the citizens of that city. Gen. Lee talks of astonishing the world, by a rapid concentration of all the rebel troops and invading the Northern States.

Gold sold at 224 in New York on Saturday. An advance, owing to the news of the failure of the Wilmington expedition. A rebel deserter reports that Early's division is about to make another campaign, probably into the Shenandoah va'ley. A rebel spy was captured near City Point, a few day since, who had full drawings of all of Grant's works upon his person. The Pensylvauia Legislature met yesterday.

We will print the Governor's message next week. Most of floods forces are said to be still North of the Tennessee river, and likely to be taken. Edward Everett is warmly recommended by leading Bostoniansas Minister to France. Hon. George M.

Dallas died at Philadelphia, suddenfy, on December 3 1st. An expedition, under Gen. Granger, has been fitted out against Mobile. Death of Mr. Dayton.

It is with regret that we announce the death of Hon. Win. L. Dayton, our Minister to France. He died in Paris of apoplexy, on the 2d of December.

Mr. Dayton was a man of ability, and a fine moral character and amiable manners. His remains reached Trenton, N. J. on Saturday, December 31st, and were escort ed to the State House by the Governor and city authorities, where the body was laid in state, a detachment of National troops being placed as a guard of honor.

The funeral is to take place on Thursday at 1 1 o'clock. Re-Arrested. We see it stated that the Canadian authorities have re-arrested a number of the St. Albans raiders discharged by Judge Coursel, and that a proclamation has been issued offering a reward for the apprehension of others. The Canadian authorities have also called out the colonial militia, and are taking measures to prevent future raids being made into the United States from Canada.

The New York Herald has dubbed the oil millionaires "Petrolians." Why not call them Gent-iles. Western Virginia's oil wells are worth twenty millions of dollars. THE EEBELLI01T WANING. Speech of Poote. In the rebel House of Representatives on December 17th, Mr.

McMulIen, of Virginia, offered a resolution in favor of sending within the Union lines, commissioners to treat with the representatives of the Government at Washington for a restoration of peace. In reply to a question, Mr. McMulIen that Lay, who had recently arrived in Richmond, had been assured by Gen. Grant that any such commissioners would be allowed to pass through his lines. Foote has retired to private life in disgust.

In the rebel House, while the currency bill was up, he withdrew from that body after making a frank statement of the situation of the rebellion. He" said ''Sir, I bese 'ch the honorable gentlemen, on this last occasion, perhaps, that I shall have the honor of addressing this House, to look with me upon the present condition the country before they resolve to withhold their support from this measure. What is our situation? Let us look danger in the face, and to provide for it while it is possible to do so. Sir, we are upon the verge of ruin, Congress is rapidly abandoning all its powers, and building up an irresponsible military despotism, the like of which has; never existed before earth. The policy of the present House seems to le to crush out dissatisfaction by armed violence alone, iu imitation of that thorough policy introduced and enforced in England by the celebrated Lord Stafford, the enforcement of which speedily brought Charles the First to the block, but before Stafford had his own head.

Ten days hence freedom of deliberation will have been effectually extinguished in this body by means which I may not specify. The unjust, unwise, and deeply criminal displacement of the gallant, efficient Johnson from the command of Tennessee, and the transfer of that army to the neighborhood of Nashville have opened all Southern Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama to the army of Sherman. Fort McAllister has fallen; Savannah is a-bout to fall the fate of Charleston seems only to be deferred a few days biter. Hood's army has already met with great disaster at and in my judgement is fatally compromised. Presidential interference is the source of al! this dire mischief, as it was of the result of the unfortunate battle of Murfree.

boro' and the still more disastrous one at Missionary Ridge. Should Hood's army le destroyed, an event which I tear is but too probable, and Sherman could come around to this vicinity in ships, which I do not doubt he now intends, what will be the fate of Richmond?" A CALL FOE 300,000 LIEN. A Proclamation. By th a approved July 4th. 1804, entitled.

"Ai; act further to regulate and provide lor the cnrullim: and caiiing out of the National forces, and for other purposes," it is provided, that the l-reident of the U. States may at his discretion, at any time hereafter, call for any number of men as volunteers f.r the respective terms of one, two. and three years, for military service, and that mease the quota, or aTiy part thereof, of any town, township, warded' a city, precinct or election district, or of a county not subdivided, si all not be filled within lie space of fifty days after such call, then the President shall immediately order a draft for one year, to fiil such quota or any part thereof which may be unfilled; oik SYlurrnx, by the credits allowed in accordance with the act af Congress on the call for live hundred thousand men. made July lsth, 1M4. the number of men to be obtained under that call was reduced to two hundred and eighty thousand mul Wln-rfts, the operations of 1 he enemy in certain States have rendered it to procure from them their full qticta of troops ur der said call and Where-ax, from the foregoing causes but two hundred and fifty thousand men have been put into the army, navy and marine corps under the said call of July 1, 1W4, leaving a de-fi-ioney on that call oftwo hundred and fifty thousand; now therefore, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of A-meriea, in order to supply the afusaid deficiency and to provide for casualties in the military and naval service of the United States do issue this my call, for three hundred thousand volunteers to serve for one, two.

Terrible Bailroad Accident. A most terrible accident occurred on the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad on Friday December 23d, about twenty miles distant from Cleveland. When the train was crossing the bridge near Hudson, after the engine and baggage car had passed over cither a wheel, axle, or rail broke, and the first passenger car pitched down into the st ream, followed by the two others, and all of them piled in the gorge, a mass of ruins wherein the killed and wounded and uninjured were mingled causing a horrible scene. Six persons were killed outright, ten or twelve seriously hurt, 'and about twenty slightly. The injured were taken to Hudson, wh2re they were well eared for by the citizens.

After the wreck was cleared the cars took fire, but no one was injured therefrom. The precise cause of the accident is unknown. Sherman's whole loss since leaving Atlanta is less than 2,000 About 400 were lost in the investment of Savannah, and 500 by straggling on the march. Kilpatbick atone time 'chased Wheeler forty miles without bringing him to a fight THE "Wn ZLSTIErWS. The Attack on "Wilmington.

The great Natal and land expedition which left Fortress Monroe some time since, made an attack on the defences at the mouth of Cape Fear river, about twenty miles below Wilmington, N. on the 21st. The attack was commenced on Fort Fisher at about one o'clock, by the fleet, and brisk firing was kept up until night, when it ceased. The firing was resumed on the morning of the 22d, and kept up during the -ilay. Fort Eisher is said to be much damaged.

All the barracks and storehouses belonging to the works were burned by the explosion of our shells, and the garrison of the fortification was driven to their bonib-piofs the guns of the enemy scarcely venturing a reply to the well directed shot from our war vessels. Under cover of the fire of the fleet, Gen. Butler landed about 5,000 colored troops near Fort Fisher. They took up a strong position and held it against a vigorous attack from the rebels. They then attacked and carried, at the point of the bayonet, a strong earthwork in front of the Fort, but the rebels being reinforced returned and retook the position, driving out our black troops with considerable loss.

In fact, our troops pushed up to Fort Fisher, and actually entered the work. A rebel bearer of dispatches was killed as he was about to enter the fort, and Lieut. Waller, of the 142d N. captured a flag from the outer bastion of the fort. Our men also captured a whole rebel battalion outride of the works, but were withdrawn from the shore after their failing to storm Fort Fisher, and fire was resumed by our men-of-war.

On Saturday, the sailors from the Santiago tie Cuba cap'tured the Pond Hill Battery of 65 men, on shore, and brought the whole party off to the ships. The weather which has been of the most violent ever known on that part of the coast, has much retarded the operations of the expedition. Counsels Obedience to Gen. Sherman. The avanuah of the 21st says: "'By the fortunes of war, we to-day pass under the authority of the Federal military forces.

The evacuation has left the city gates open, and Sherman, with his army, will no doubt to-day take possession. We desire to counsel obedience and all proper, respect on tho part of our citizens, and to express, the belief that their property and persons will be respected by the military rulers. The fear that General Sherman will repeat the Atlanta expulsion order, we think is of doubtful foundation. Then, he could not supply food for the citizens and armj. In our case food can abundantly be supplied for the army and citizens.

It behooves all to keep within their houses until Gen. Sherman can organize the Provost Marshal system. Let our conduct be such as to win the admiration of a magnanimous foe, and give no ground for complaint or harsh treatment on the part of him who may, for an indefinite period, hold possession of our city." Lee Favors Arming Negroes. The military authority of rebeldom has pronounced in favor of arming the slaves. Gen.

Lee declares that he is not only favorable to their use as servants, but as soldiers, i and avers that the South can ake them more available than Lincoln. He is for promising them freedom and a home. Gen. Cooper would not await the slow action of the Legislature, but would employ them as soldiers as well as teamsters. The masters in the cotton States have not advanced thus rapidly in opinion.

They are not friendly to this summary dispensing with the ''corner-stone" of the new Government. The rebellion was inaugurated in the interest of slavery, and they are not for so utter an a-bindonment of the great causeof this insurrection against authority. The Confederacy to them is of little worth if it leads to the sacrifice of peculiar institution." Naturally enough they fancy they might as well be under the dominion of the Yankees, without further bloodshed, if slavery is to be annihilated, as to the support the" Jeff Davis despotism that is to create a paradise for free negroes. The Late Battle at Franklin. The N.

Y. Times has a special from Fr inklin, Tennessee, dated the 22d December, which says that the rebel retreat from Franklin to Duck river beggars all description. Hood told his corps commanders to get best way they could with their commands. The rebel loss during the campaign, is 17,000 men, 51 cannon, and 18 General officers. The number killed at Franklin is wounded 3,800, and prisoners.

Before Nashville, and in his retreat to Columbia, 3,000 were killed and wounded, and S.000 taken prisoners. The Union loss at Franklin was and before Nashville less than 4,000. The total Union loss will not exceed 7,000, with two Generals blightly wounded. Gold in Richmond. Gold in Richmond is now at the premium of 4,000 or forty dollars for one, having advanced since the defeat of the peace candidate at the North for the Presidency from about 2 -4u0 per to its present figure.

The same causes which produce depreciation in the value of rebel currency operates to produce appreciation in the vidite of our national currency, gold sold in New York, on December 27, at 219. General Thomas has been making quite a livelihood Lively Hood) in C0ESESP0NDENCE OF THE J0UENAL. Letter from Philipsburg, Pa. Philipsburg, Jan. 2d 1SC5.

Dear Journal Another leaf in the book of time is filled, and all the accidents, incidents, events and occurences, of the year A. IX 1604, are there on record. The past year has been one of glorious achievements for the Union cause, from the commencement to its close, it was a series of victories for our gallant army and navy, and the Stars and Stripes float over many places now, where the rebel rag did the year preceding. But the year l.o4, we shall know no more, save when, hi the future, it will be referred to by posterity, as one among the most cveutful of the Great Rebellion." We now turn a new leaf, and commence the year A. D.

1665, and if the reltelliou receives a few more such blows, as it has in the past few weeks, there will not be much to record, concerning it, one year Lence. The end is nigh, when the Richmond newspapers acknowledge that their armies are 'hard and sorely pressed, that the enemy is campaigning on a larger scale than at anytime since the war commenced;" and they might with truth have added, seem determined to pro.ecute it vigorously. God speed the hour, when the blessings of peace and happiness, may reign supreme throughout the length and breadth of our country when'the glorious Stars and Stripes may float in all their pristine purity, over every inch of iand from tl Atlantic to tite Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and most cincerely do I hope, and confidently lliink, this will be the case ere the ekx-e of 1 Since my last letter to you, our town has been the ''stage of action" of many aud thrilling incidents. To chronicle them all would take ii ton of foolscap, and a score of Knights of the quill to perform. I shall, therefore, only give you a ''select few" a phrase by the way lately introduced into this loveliest viliiage of the plain." A few weeks ago, our citizens were taken by surprise, by the advent of several companies of the Regt.

Vet. Vols, under the command of Major Goebel. They were temporarily quartered in the M. E. Church, and from that time hence, the old town assumed quire a dignified aud martial appear ance, uncle bain's sny-biue lversey, met one at every turn, and garrulous old women, nervous old maids (who ever saw one that was not nervous,) and copperheads, predicted that ail the evils possible, would be enacted by the sojer boy" that nothing would escape their lingers, that was not too hot or too heavy in short, putting them down as a set of consummate viliian.s.

Accordingly, many a sigh escaped from those. who were ignorant enough to believe such tales. Many a "gude" wife, (on the evening of tho first day. and a few subsequent-days after the arrival of the sorrowfully called her flock of fowls" and gave them their supper, confident, that she would uever look on their ''like again." that before to-morrow's sun ad set that olddom-inick hen, that was so good to hatch, and that spreckeled pullet, so good to Jay, would li in the gastric regions of 'them awful soldiers." But if ever people were disappointed, it was thrse same garrulous old nervous old maids, and blatant copperheads the two former, agreeably the lat-tei, sadly. For lo and behold, next morning the flock, at breakfast call, came up for their rations, intact not a feathei missing.

No men could conduct themselves more gentlemanly, quietly and respectful'-, than have the officers, and privates, of the Kith Vet. Vols, since they arrived in Philipsburg. I have yet to hear of the first word of complaint, against them, for any act unbecoming or unlawful, to any of our citizens, or their property. The arrival of soldiers in our town, has had a beneficial effect in banishing from the minds of those who repose as much confidence in the copperhead papers as they do in their bibles, the slanderous and vilifying epithets against the soldiers of the Union army, published from time to time in the copperhead papers. They now see, that the whole foundation for such assertions are based on lies of the deepest dye.

The spirit of loyalty to the Union, suddenly emina-ted from the lips of men and women, that only on the day of the soldiers first appearance in our midst, uttered very utsioyal sentiments, and condemned the authorities for sending volunteers out into these copperhead wilds, to involve the good Union-loving non-reporting drafted men into a war. But all are Union now ye, verily, a change has come over the spirit of the dreams of the most venomous snaikes of the copperhead species They uncoiled at the presence 'of the soldiers as readily as a black snaik on a pile of stones in a summers sun and are as meek, mild and calm as an ali-gator, on the banks of the Nile, catching fiies. The 'number of non-reporting drafted men, desert ers, and (last but by no means least) aiders and abetters of disloyalty, brought in by the soldiers, "are legion. Every two or three days, an invoice of the medley crew, is. sent "riding on a rail" some to Waterford, others to Williamsport, and Harrisburg.

Since the battle up in Knox township, Clearfield County, the drafted men who failed" to report at the proper time, seeing, that Uncle Sam was getting in can. est, come in from their hiding places, and give themselves up to the Provost Marshal. They certainly take the wisest plan, for if there is any leniency, it will much sooner be extended to a man who sees his error and promptly takes the steps to correct it than to one who still presists in what I knows to be wrong, and resists the enforcement of the law to bring him to justice. Where, oh where! are the chieftains of other days, who held the sturdy cops of Clearfield eountr. rivited to tffe spot, while they delivered to them, in tones of Snaiky thunder, the grand Union loving sentiments of "not another man nor -another dollar" will we give for the prosecution of the war against our brother rebels? What has become of the two "Sweet Williams," that so lately bloomed and in all their grandeur, while their foot was on their "native heath?" How is it that we hear nor see no more of them? Have they shuffled off their 8naVe.ii coil, and emigrated to a more congenial clime Or has the abundance of Uncle Sam's Sky Blue Kersey, now so prevalent in the Clearfield atmosphere, so dimmed their vision that they cannot find their way out? I see that some of the Monarchs of the Grahaniton nest, came in contact with the Kersey, and it stuck to them so closely that they had to go on a journey to Harrisburg, to have an operation performed by a Court Marshal, that is convened at that place, for the trial of patients who suffer from "Copper on the brain." One of thee Monarchs, I understand, was the Graham-ton correspondent 6f vour contemporary, over the nom-de-plume of "Argus, if" I remember.

It is horrible to see so many old aud respectable and intelligent citizens, as have passed through this place in the last week or two fromvour county, suffering from that venomous disease, "Copper on the brain" and it seems no 'cure is known, only that of a Court Martial at Harrisburg, and that often fails to establish a radical cure, until the patient is relieved of his greenbacks and confined iu a military fort a year or two. Our citizens gave the f-oldiers an "Old Years" dinner on Saturday. The dinner was one of a novel jnodtts njterandi kind, and conducted as it was in a very social way! Each family was to entertain as majiy soldiers as they felt able to provide for" the soldiers to go to the residence of such family as they would be directed, as invited guests. Accordingly, a committee was appointed to ascertain how many soldiers, each family could provide for, and send the number to each, on Saturday 31st ult. for dinner.

After the committee had cone the rounds, they reported places for some one hundred more than there were soldiers here to fill. But the families went to work, and provided for the number they had agreed to take, confident, of course, tliat they would certairly have thorn for dinner. Saturday came. The hour for the festive meal at hand. Fine fat turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks, done to a turn, were placed on the table, surrounded by all the sauces, mashes, stews and etceteras immaginable out some instances no guests were on hand.

The consequence was, that not more than one, or perhaps two soldiers were at places, where tliey had provided tor fifteen. One lady informed me, she had gone to extra pains, to jret a good dinner for eight, and she had none. She felt very much disappointed that some did not come. Now. witness the change that has taken place a-niong our people, in their estimation of the soldiers who came among them a few weeks since.

I hey were then looked upon by many, who heartily provided a dinner for them now. as a set of thieves not because they believed it, but because hev were told so. To-day they permit the same soldiers to set down in a social and familiar style, and partake of an Old Years dinner. Such changes are commendable. Lekoi Interesting Case.

At the Chester county adjourned court in December the case of Richards applying for an injunction to restrain the Phoenix Irou Company, at rom using bituminous coal in their low was'ar-gued before Judge Putler. The soot from the chimneys injuredthefuruiture and goods in the dwelling and cotton factory of the plaintiff. The defendants admitted the damage, and agreed that they ought to pay for it, as they were willing to do. Their property cost them and they employ over one thousand persons at wages a-lnounting to more than a year. They cannot make so good iron with anthracite as with bituminous coal, and estimate their loss, if they are prevented from using the latter, at 40.0 0 a year.

To erect higher chimneys would require seventy stacks, at a cost of $200,000. They are willing to pay damages to the plaintiff, but argue that the business and prosperity of large manufacturing interests should not be broken in upon, because of the discomfort or inconvenience of one or two neighbors. The case is held under advisement. The Fi.okida ('ask. Alluding to the Florida disaster the London Tintf says: Assuming to have been by design, we are not hp.sed to waste much indignation on the subject, as the method of procuring the Florada was such a violation of neutrality as to deprive the sufferers of sympathy.

To Jirail, the outraged paity, the Tiium predicts, 3Ir. Sewaud will have to make ample apology. Some of the elite of Xew York are making an eff'ortto reform the custom of late hours at evening parties, which they consider injurious to health and beauty. A new mode of invitation has been devised, to convey a delicate hint of the new system: "Mrs. Smith will be glad-to receive her friends between the hours of eicl.t and eleven." An Irish hackman, who carried General Grant to his hotel in Xew York, spread himself as follows: "Here's to meself, Dennis Connelly, the biggest man in Ameriky but one.

I've driven the Lieutenant-Gcn-eral of the United States, and its more than Bobby Lee ever did." Adam was fond of his jokes arid when he saw his sons and his daughters marrying one another, he dryly remarked to Eve that if had been no apple there would have been no poiriito. Artemus Ward notifies ihegentlenian who left phosphorus in his bed at the St. Nicholas Hotel. that, if he will leave his name with General Dix, he will hear of something to his advantage. The ladies of Paris, not content with dyeing their hair red, now dye their lap-dogs to match the color of their dresses.

Green dogs, yi-llow dogs, ahd sky-blue pups, are all the rage. We hear of a young lady in town, who is so lavtrc-hearted that it has made her round shouldered. A blue and pink mare, and a colt of the same color, are the attractions of a circus in England. When men take brandy to "fetthem up," it of! en brings them down. ijtfcu 'dvfvtfef mentis.
