They contain a deal of suggestive information, a „d much of it appropriate to the approaching holidays. Don’t fail to read tliem and profit by them.

Editorial Ai-olociies. —W r e do not know what has got into our up-country editors. We find the following para graphs in recent exchanges: The Griffin (Ga.) Star of the 20th iusL, says: Apology. —Our readers will please pardon our shortcoming in our editorial department for the past and coming week. Our “boss - ' editor having rather over cropped himself by a multitude of business—among other things (and we say it with shame!) running for office. But, he will get over this foolishness about New Year's, when we hope to make our paper as interesting as pos sible. Os course, his Spalding county friends will see to it that the Colonel is duly elected. The next is from the Rome (Ga.) Commercial, also of the 21st inst., and is as follows: Our Associate begs to be excused for the present week, his Chair Editorial, as he has engagements on hand that re quires all his time. Such engagements frequently frustrate gentlemen's ideas, and give them what, in common par lance, is termed the cold chibs, but as we propose to say more iu regard to this matter iu our next, we merely render the above as an apology for this week. Success and happiness attend him until then. That is a little more singular than the first, but it will, no doubt, be doubled by the next issue. Our good wishes to all of you, unhappy brethren ! Martin V. Calvin, Esq.—This gen tleman, whose siv visits here heretofore, turns out, now, were successful in in ducing one of Charleston's fairest daughters to desert her home, is again among us; but this time entirely on a visit of recreation and recuperation, lie paid us a very pleasant visit yester day, and as he appears to be the same genial and clever fellow iu a stale of double blessedness that lie ever was before, and has promised us to keep fully up to that litgh standard in future, we have accommodated matters, and now renew with him entirely all pre vious kind and fraternal feeling® “'><l hopes. Our trieud Calvin has trans ferred, since last in this city, his connec tion with the Chronicle and Sentinel to a connection, as an associate L utor, with The Daily Press, an excellent and now thriving competitor for public favor in our sister city of Augusta. Our friend E. 11. Pughe, the publisher of The Daii.v Pkkss, we are satisfied, will find in Mr. viaiviu an able coad jutor, and a confrere whose connection will prove preeminently conducive to the best interests of his already able and valuable sheet. —Charleston Counci, yestcrdai/. Tij k Hope Balk.—The 25th Anniver sary of the Hope Eire Engine Company came off yesterday with great eclat. 1 lie Company paraded through the city in the afternoon, and looked the same hopeful youths, the spemr/repis, we have always known them.

After the transaction of usual busi ness the meeting adjourned. A Queer Advocate of Peace.— There is published iu New York City a journal entitled The Advocate of Peace. A late number contains the following sentences; If in its laws it (the Government) says that rebellion is the climax of all crimes, but, by its neglect to execute these laws, says it is no crime what ever, it stultifies itself, neutralizes o i this point nearly its whole power, and virtually invites to future rebellions without end. If such men as Davis and Lee, Breckinridge and Forrest, are not to be hung, then no rebel can de serve a halter; and we may as well blot out at once our entire criminal code, and make our country, without further delay, an elvsium or pandemonium of rascals and villains. It is just such journals as the above; and such expressions as the foregoing extract, that keep alive sectional jeal ousies and sectional hatred. The peo ple ought not to give them any encour agement. They have a chain gang iu Rich mond, Va. Why not put Jeff'. Davis on the streets and make him work for his living? Providence [ll. I) Press, December 15/A. W e are astonished to find such a para graph in the Providence Press. We have always considered that one of the most dignified and liberal of the Northern Radical journals ; but such paragraphs as the above are not calculated to in crease anybody’s admiration.

The President gave audience, yes terday, to Senator Roberts, of Texas, on the subject of the proposed treaty with the Camanche Indians. Roberts represented that during the war, the frontier was protected by law. All residents of the frontier being exempt from military duty, many reported there to escape service. Since these parties have returned home, the frontier is left unprotected, and has been the scene of daily outrages by wild Camanthes. j With tile view of arresting these out rages, the President referred the matter to the Indian Bureau, requesting prompt action. The Governor of lexas re quests to be made a party to this treaty, to impress the Camanehes with the fact that Texas is a part of the Union, which they seem not io realize. FROM PHILADELPHIA.
