Secretary of the Navy's Report. 671 Vessels and 4,610 Onus in Havy. 6,000 Offieera and 45,000 Sfen. The Secretary of the Navy's Report shows The United States Navy, December 1st, con-eieted of eix hundred and seventy-one vessels, having a tonnage of 570,393 and carrying 4,610 guns. This is an increase of 83 vessels and 1G7 guns since December 1, 1863. Th 3 vessels constructed for the navy since March 4th, 1861, number 203, carrying 1631 guns, not counting those which have been constructed within the same period and lost in battle or by shipwreck. The officers and men now on duty number Si.OOO-r-ofScers, 6,000 ; men 45,000. . There are six squadrons on duty : The west Gulf, Admiral Farragut ; east Gulf, Admiral Stribling ; South Atlantic, Admiral Dahlgreen; North Atlantic, Admiral Porter; Mississippi. Admiral Lee, and Pacific, Peareorn besides the flotilla, Admiral Parker. The West Indian squadron as an organization has been discontinued. The consumption of coal in the navy last year was about o00,tX0 tons. The blockade extends along a coast line of 3,549 miles, a greater length than the whole coast of Europe from Cape Trafalgar to Cape North. The' iron clad fleet has increased to seventy-one vessels. They carry 275 guns, air of heavy metal. The number of prizes captured during the year was 32,488, 207 of these were 6teamers. The grdes proceeds from sales of condemned prizes were $14,393,250, and the expenses $3.236,1.53,-- The balance of $18 J90.- 841 was divided equally between the captors as prize money, and the government as a naval pension fund. The " navy department has cost 230,647,201 :n four year. Of this aprregate 85,763.292 were expended last year. The available resources for the fiscal vear ending June 30th, 1804, are Si, 392,890.50. The balance on hand at the beginning of . the fiscal year was 8o0,9o2,224. Mr. Welles enlarges upon the patisfactory cotnlition of the navy, coin mends its officers for euHtaining its discipline and emcieney, and adverts with : emphasis to .the- extraordinary growth of the service since the first year of the war. lie contends that the blockade' ot the port of Wilmington is more dirticult than any otlier on the coast of the United States-, and says the navy is reaily to attack Wilmington as soon as there is a land force toco-oper-atw. The withdrawal of a large part of our land forces from the island in Charleston Harbor had necessarily put a nop to a serious demonstration against Charleston, and threw ;xn the iron clad fleet the burden ol ensuring the safety of the coast and retaining the harbor. Kear Admiral Diihlgren has kept these vessels where Admiral Dupont and otbers said they could not be kept, for the past eeventeei months. J he destruction of the pirate Alabama is alluded to at length, but no explanation Of the capture ol the Florida is given. A Eemafkable Confession of the Secretary of the Treasury. ' Th Secretary of tUe Treasury makes the remarkable oonessioa tfeat, if the people had only oreeeu the vast expenditures of this war, they would never have engaged in it." He says, in speaking of the war ia its commencement : Had it been then foreseen that what was believed Lo be a contest for months was to be continued for years, and that hundreds of millions of public-debt would be swollen into thousands of millions before the close of that contest, it may well be doubted whether, ignorant as they were of their own immense resources, the people might not have-shrunk appalled from an undertaking which contem plated a sacrifice so lar exceeding all former experience. This draws from him the remark that it was "fortunate" the people were so iguoranfc. Hear him: Unaccustomed for a long course of years to trreat national efforts, it was fortunate that their power of endurance should be tested only bv degrees, as the stiuegle which .Providence hah prepared for them developed its vast proportions, and the necessity cf great and long continued effort became apparent. We never before heard of national short sightedness and ignorance being made a sub ject of congratulation. The United States Supreme Court. APPOINTJIE iT Of 3AL1IOX P.

Attempt of the Union Prisoners at Salis-bury, H". C.1, to Escape. From the Richmond I nqairer, November 28. On Thursday last a serious attempt was made by the federal pr'isonen confined at Salisbury, "N. C, to esca pe, which waa rapidly and effectually quieted at the expense of considerable Yankee blood. It appears that the plot had been formed amon$; the prisoners (of whom there are at Salisbury some thirteen tbbusand) to overpower the-interi or guard of the encampment, then break the line of parapet guard, and after securing all the arms they could to march through Western Nbrih Carolina into Tennessee, and make good their escape. In the first part of their pvogramme they succeeded. The interior guard were soon overpowered and two of the unfortunate men were killed while resisting. Tbey then attacked the parapet guard, who fought bravely against the terrible odds until the alarm h ad been fully communicated to the garrieort, and two pieces of artillery were thrown into position bearing upon the encampment. To of the parapet guard were killed in their gallant defense. In good time the artillery opened, and after a few raking discharges of grape and' canister, the insurrectionists cried out for mercy, and declared that they would make no further effort to get away. By thin time they were completely surrounded with axtillery and infantry, and it is well for them that they ceased their demonstration, and sued for nercy. In ten min-. ufes more the whole camp would have been one scene of slaughter. Asl it wai, shout forty were killed, and a large number wounded. Thus a very foolish attempt to escape from confederate durance has ended. It will prove, no doubt, a lessoni to prisoners in the South. But for the coolness, and, it ma? be added, the consideration of the officers commanding the garrison, the punishment inflicted upcTn these misguided captives would have been far more serious, if indeed it had not amounted to the annihilation of the entire body. Cheap Sympathy. Our readers will remember the letter of President Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby, coiidoling with her on the loss of her five sons in this wan-. He speaks of ; "the solemn pride that must beWr, at havi'ig laid so costly a sacrr fice upon the altar of freedom." This kind of sympathy is cheap, and easily manufactured; and when one reflects, that the man who is thus ostentatiously .-.'-shedding his tears over the remains of Mrs. Iiixby's five sons, has two sons who are old enough to be laid upon "the altar," but whom he keeps at home in luxury, we can easily understand the hypocrisy of all tliis sympathy for the poor -'bereaved widow. Why is it, we ask, that Mr. JJncoIn's sons should be kept from the dangers of the field, while the soil ol 'the laloring'. man are to be hurried into the harvest of death at the ront? Are the sons of the raii-splitter poroelairi, and these -others only common clay? Or is it that Mr; Robert Lincoln, the voting gentleman whose face is so familiar at. w a term places, and billiard rooms in the metropo is, has ta ken his younger brother into the speculation nf citttivntinff rnf.'nn on Inland JTmrifter Ten, throuohlhe agency of slave labor, and they cant Le iparext from their bttsineia.-Phil. -Age.

He got his furlough. Portland Aryus. Pixing the Responsibility. We used to be told that the only reason why tlie rebellion was not suppressed two years ago, was the "sympathy" shown for it by the "Copperheads." We are glad to correct this misapprehension on the authority of James Watson Webb, Republican Minister to Brazil, who imposes the sole responsibility on foreign nations. Heays: "It foreign nations had shown the same respect for international rights which they have displayed toward rebellion would have been suppressed more than two years ago, with but a small portion of the sacrifice which we have been obliged to make." That lets out the Copperheads, who ought to be very thankful that they are not guilty, as heretofore charged. JJayton ,mpire. Angnst Belmont. Mr. Belmont is simply the New York cor respondent of the house of Rothschiid j: that though a Jew by birth, he married out of the faith raanv years ago, is not connected with a Jewish congregation, and is universally repudi- a ted as a Jew; that the Rothschilds have never assisted the rebel treasury to the extent of a dollar, that their sympathies and active co-op eration have been with the Government, based on liberty as its main principle, as stated by Baron Rothschild, of Frankfort, to the United States Consul General, Mr. Murphy; that the only banker of any note who upholds the Coo federate cause ra barope, is Mr. Erlarger, of Paris, who used to be a Jew, but was conver ted to Christianity, and married Mr. Slidell's daughter.

I Death from Chewing Tobacco A Cn- rious Case. . From the Liverpoole Po, Xov. 0. . An inquest was held yesterdtv, at Clithero, on the. body of a boy named Richard Edinond-soii, who, it seems, had died uider rather extraordinary c.rcumst a noes. Dceased, 17 years of age, about a fortnight ago -purchased half an ounce of a kind of tobacco fnown as Lim- ericK roil, deceased cliewea it. and swal lowed soine of the juice, he was seized with a sort Dire tly afterwards of stiffness and tre mor iu his limbs ; he fell into q lethargic sleep, ami remained quite unconscioip to all' around him . A fter the lapse of a few days lie had a kind Of tetanic spasm, and there waa a rigidity about the stomach which ahiost. prevented him swallowing ; generally he was much convulsed ; and he died after a week's illness. A post mortem examination was made by Dr.. Scott, which showed that the ftoily was somewhat emaciated. Nothing wai found in the stomach, except a small quan tity of dark matter ; the stomach was liighlvj conjested, and there was extravasation of blood inihe vestri-cles of the brain. In reply to the coroner Dr. Scott said the appearances of tlie stomach and brain had led hiin to the cone Iisibn that death had resulted from poison, and he believed, after having beard the evidence, that such poison, or that which was contained in tobacco. All tobacco contained poison put the Limerick roll was an exceedingly strong kind of tobacco, and would be 'therefore more poisonous than the tobacco which was usually sold. The jury found that deceased had died "from chewing Limeric roll, and swallowing the juice hereof a strong narcotic poison." Cnxing Hams.

THE POPULAR VOTE. : : "From the Albany Argus. ' The presidential election marks an important era in the history of the republic. It affords the only opportunity for the simultaneous expression of the popular mil though the : ballot-box. Under our system it is possible for the candidate to be chosen by a minority of the popular vote; yet such a one is as much the chief magistrate as if he had the vote of every elector in the country. Mr. Lincoln in 18G0, was the minority candidate by 1)46,950 ; there was a combined majority against him of one million of votes, lacking 53,550, not counting the State of South Carolina, which asts her electoral vote through the legislature. His majority at the recent election is something less than 250, 000, and 25,000 votes from his side distributed in certain states, would have elected (len. McClellan. Mr. Lincoln carried New York in 1800, by 50,475 majority : he carried it at the recent election by a majority of. 6,570, on an increased vote in the state of 47,810. He carried Connecticut in 1860, by a majority of 10,338 over tlie combined opposition vote; he carried it in 1804 bv 2,427 majoritv lie carried Maine in 1860 by 27,704 majority; in 1804 by 17,5921 Minnesota in 1800 by 9,339 majority; in 1804 by less than 5,000 majority; New Hampshire in 1860 bv 9,085 majority: in 1804 by 2,192; Pennsylvania in 1800r by 50,018 majority; in 1804 by about 12,000 majority. The recent election of Mr. Lincoln exhibits in some respects similar results to the election of (Jen. Harrison. The victorious party then swept - the country, so far as the electoral vote was concerned. Mr. Van Bureri carried but seven states, giving sixty electoral votes; Gen. Harrison carried eighteen states, giving 234 electoral, votes; yet Harrison s majority on - tne popular vote was but 138,472 in a vote of 2,411,-094, and a change of 8,143 votes distributed in certain states, would have elected Mr. Van Buren. In 1844 Mr. Polk was elected by a maj. of sixty-five electoral votes over Mr. Clay. A change of only 2,558 votes in the. state of New York would have given the state to Mr. Clay, and he would, have been elected. BiT.548 GOii. Tliylor beat Gen. Cass thirty-six on the electoral vote. A change of 727 votes in thesingle state of Pennsylvania would ; have, elected Oen. Cass by a majority of sixteen on the electoral college. ' .' . In .1852 Gen. Pierce beat Gen. Scott 212 on the electoral vote and carried all tlie states, except four. Bnt less than 35,000 votes distributed among certain states', would have elected General Scott. -;. v""; ,' --: . ::'.

A Description of the Country Through which Sherman is Passing From the Richmond Sentinel, Pecember 1. , The Oconee bridge is upon the Georgia Central Railroad. If railrods were named from the termini, as they always should be, it would not be necessary for us to explain that the Central road extends between Savannah and Macon. It is one hundred and ninety miles long. This road crosses the Oconee River, according to the map, at Toomsboro, 36 miles east of Macon. . Milledgeville is on the Oconee River, about 20 miles above Toomsboro. The 'Georgia road' is the railroad that leads from Augusta to Atlantic This road also crosses the Oconee River at a point about SO miles above Milledgeville, and about 90 miles West of Angasta. The country between Warrenton and Sparta lies on both sides of. the Ogeechee ttirerj j s Considerable stream, which ,flo war parallel to the Oco-fiee and Sayanri Ri Vets' and js about Pi0! me&M tf& J5ff -'1 &"?fMP$ I "nwT1 mwb awauwi, uei.weenuie Mconee artti the - Ocmulgee RiTers, the two - streams which, a hundred miles " from the coast, from the A ta ntah a. The general direction of these rivers is southeasterly. The Ocm ul gee is the more westerly. Macon is on the west bank of the Ocmulgee, so that, to occupy it, Sherman would have had to cross that stream. Milledgeville bein on the west side of the Oconee, interposed no such difficulty to it occupation. A march upon Savannah or Augusta implies the crossing of both the Oconee and Ogecchce Rivers. If Augusta and Savannah both be avoided, and an immediate line leading to Charleston be adopted, it will involve also the crossing ef the Savannah, the Combahee, and the Edisto' Rivers, besides numerous smaller streams.

They met on Madison street. The injured husband drew a revolver and cried revenge, but a quick scientific movement on the part of the officer wrested it from his hand arid brought him to sudden grief upon the sidewalk. "My husband ! 0, my brother !" screamed the lady, and hostilities ceased. " Wait V exclaimed the vanquished husband, with ' surprise, a s he clutched tlie hand that smote him a moment before.
