State Rights & Coafederate States’ Rights. Brnr ny—tUc day is breaking. If tlio W inter Garapaign closes as fa vorably as it has began, tho War will close before the first of Jane.

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- Abolition Nation. He must light, and scmbly and the people of the State, that fight desperately.

An Incident of Buttle.—One of the sold iers in General T. R. R. Cobb’s brigade has a game cock, which he had with him on the day of battle. By a trick, or sig nal, which they had taught him, the sol diers could make the cock crow whenev er they chose. Upon each advance of the enemj', just bej j)re our sharpshooters openedtipon them, cock’s clear, shrill clarion rang out on the sulphurous air. This strange defi- j anee, while it cheered and amused our | hoys, fell with a depressing effect upon the I j ears of the enemy. When the foe retired | to return no more, the cock with repeated crows, sounded the victory.

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?

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.
