Once this was a joyful season, sons and
daughters, scattered wide and far, from
the parental roof, were wont to return and
gather around the family altar, talk over
the scenes of by-gone days, take counsel
for the future, and renew the pdedge of
filial love. Hut ah, these gatherings now
arc mournful to the soul. The old man no
more feels the hearty grasp of his brave
hoy’s band. lie sleeps in a soldier’.■
grave. The daughter comes, hut she is
clad in mourning, and .leads her little or
phaned children by the hand, too young to
be conscious of the desolation that had en
tered into her very soul. How many,
many homesJiave been silent witnesses,
the past week, of these heart-rending
meetings. In many a Home even Old
Santa Claus has been a stranger. The
little bluc-cycd “hindering thing” cannot
understand why her stocking docs not
hang, as usual on Christmas morning, by
the mantel piece, filled with toys and
sweetmeats and other evidences of the
kindness of the big hearted old man. But
Father used to be “Old Santa Claus";
he is dead now, and Mother Las not the
heart to take his place. Tom- Woman,
pitiful babes, God help you now.
We heard the familiar salutation, “a
merry Christmas’’, a few times as we pass
ed a friend on Chritsmas morning; but
it was spoken without the bright smile of
other days. Even the children and ne
groes, who claim this holiday as a special
prerogative, and are more merry and hap
py than any-body else, were backward in
tW\r entreaties for “Krismas Gif”; and
their presents proved “stale, fiat and un
profitable.” A few fire crackers were
popped in the streets by boys who had
shinplasters to the amount of fifty cents,
but by far the majority of the mischievous
urchins had to put their hands in their
empty pockets and look on while their
more fortunate companions pitched their
fire works among the gaping country ne
groes. The usual number of negroes was
noticed—to paraphrase Coleridge’s An
clent Mariner,
There were niggers here niggeis there,
Niggers every where—
But not a-dime to spend.
It was a glorious triumph of Southern
I pluck and skill. H ith Generals, than
'•horn, tho world has not Letter, and
troops that stand fire like salamanders,
how could it have been otherwise ? But
the enemy was desperate. He had gath
ered all his strength for one blow. His
; General in command felt the vital impor
tance of success. Failure was ruin to lately made a speech three hours long,
him, and death to the hopes of the whole ;it capitol, to convince the General As-

country would have been overrun and the

Sosm b»«3v “Hurt.”
It was a fancy of Abraham Lincoln in
the early days of Lis reign, before bis
chair got hard, that nobody was hurt no
matter horr badly tbe Yankees was whip
ped, or how much money was squandered
by liis officials. His organs took up the
phrase, and passed it from line to line, un
til it became a household term in the whole
land. Somebody is hurt—badly hurt.
His papers arc moaning dreadlully. Even
the Louisville Journal—that vilest of all
the pack of abolition bounds—is forced to
admit that tbe slaughter of the Yankee
troops tit Fredericksburg was absolutely
sickening to read of. Other Northern
Journals cry out in the ngonv of despair—
“Heaven help us, there seems to be no
help in man. Our cause is perishing,
i lope after hope has vanished, and now
the only prospect is the very
despair.”
Is nobody hurt now, think you Abra
ham Lincoln? Do the meanings of the
cause, they think it better to accept him
as their leader, than to do without
him, though the history of his popular
leadership has shown that he always leads
his party into the ditch. Those editors
have a hard task before them. It is to
reconcile Air. Hill’s speech with his record.
AVliat is It is record upon this question?
Acting under the solemnity of an oath as
a Senator from Georgia, Mr. Hill voted
against the Jiist conscription act, and dodg
ed the second by not voting at nil, as the
records-of Congress will show. The speech
of (he Senotor as a party r leader says the
Conscription act is constitutional and that
the necessity for its passage *was over
whelming. The record the Senator act
ing under oath says it was either uncon
stitutional or unnecessary, or both. "Which
shall be received as the true opinion of
the Senator, tire speech at the capitol of
Georgia or the official vote at the capitol
of the Confederacy? The one contradicts
the other. Both cannot stand together.
If the act was constitutional and the ne
cessity for its passage so urgent and press
ing as to admit of no other mode of raising
troops, why did the Senator from Georgia
act so unfaithfully as to record his vote
against it? AY ill some of those Editors
blackness of who have puffed Mr. Hill’s speech explain
this ? Will some one reconcile the speech
of the politician with the record of-the
Senator? CALHOUN.

ghastly corpses that lay' for two days on :

From Frciltrii'lcsiinrj.
AY'e take the following extracts from the
correspondence of the Richmond (A r a.)
Examiner, of Dec. 19th :
The Town.—On a superficial view the
town has much the appearance that it
might be supposed to wear if several large
fires had broken out at one time and the
inhabitants of the whole place had remo
ved their furniture and household goods in
haste and panic. Fences are torn down,
windows wrenched off, doors burst open
and parlor, chamber and counting room
furniture thrown into the streets, into gar
dens and into the old fields.
But it is necessary to enter the houses
even lightly to appreciate the word sac!;,
and to be able to conqirehend the thorough j
A’audalism of the ueoplc with whom we *
are at war. That tncy- would have Strrretrr
all the food, money-, and clothing that |
tune appears to have been fulfilled.
Burnside, set bis army in motion last
week, sent them across the Rappalian- r p 1T t E ,
nock, on the road to Richmond, kept, J
them there a day or two, and then
meeting with obstruction which he
found to be insurmountable, moved
them again towards tbe other side of
the river. If motion is what the Yank
ees want they will probably have
enough of it, but whether they will
be at all benefitted by it is another
thing.
