EE THE EVENING STAR. | W.D. WALLACH, Editer and Preprieter, WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY... -JANUARY 10, 1865 WF READING MATTER ON EVERY PaGe BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER, ———_———— ee eee Tue Lavies of the members of the Uabiret have morning receptions each Wednesday from 1 to 4 o'clock. i TUE LEVEE AT THE WHITE HOUBE. Last night the President and Mrs. Lincoln held their tirst public reception of the season, anda more brilliant and fashionable assemblage mever gathered under the roof of the White Houre upon a similar occasion. The number im attendance was very large, arrivals and departures being continuous from half-past eight almost until eleven o'clock, the hour of closing. As early as eight o’clock an immense throng of persons, of all classes, sexes, ages: and sizes, had assembled in front of the Man- sion, and the police and military were kept busy in keeping the crowd back from the main entrance, in order to leave those connected With the President's household to pass in and out, before the doors were thrown open to visitors. Of the diplomatic corps present we noticed Signor Bertinatti, the Italian Minister; Senor | Lous Molina, the Costa Rican Minister; Baron Stoeck}, the Russian Minister; Senor Buruaga, the Chilian Minister, and others. Among other distinguished personages in t.ttendance were Becretary Seward, Secretary Welles. Post- master General Dennison, Attorney General Speed, Chief Justice Chase, Commissioner Dole, of the Land Office, Mayor Wallach, Gov. Randall, First Assistant Postmaster General: #¥. E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States; Paymaster Cunningham, of the Navy; Generals Banks, Doubleday, and Auger, of the army; Senators Doolittle, Harlan, Anthony, Foster, Harris, and Sumner; Speaker Colfax; Repre- sentatives Kasson, balawin, Hubbard, Spal. ding, Dawes, Voorhees, Schofield, Davis, of Maryland, and P. W. Hitchcock, delegate elect | from Nebraska. The President, who was dressed in a plain suit of black, with white kid gloves, steod just inside of the door of the Blue or Oval Room, | and was supported on the left by Deputy Mar- shal Phillips, (who presented the yisitors,) | and on his right by Mr. John G. Nicolay, his private secretary. The President looked in excellent health and spirits, and had a kind ‘wora to say to every one, and at times retain- ing some of his more intimate acquaintances, with whom he entered into @ lively conver- sation Commissioner B. B. French had the honor of introducing the visitors to Mrs. Lincoln, who ‘was constantly surrounded by a ci-cleot warm friends. She was most tastefully attired in a rich white silk, festooned with narrow white satin ribbon, and trimmed with heavy black lace, @ rich lace shawl, a black lace headdress, and wreath of modest flowers; and she wore @D exquisite necklace of pearls. Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock the East Room | be a beantiful appear- | ance. Being brilliantly lighted, a fine oppor- ; tunity was afforded for the display otf costumes; and the ladies appeared to the best advantage, | being attired in rich toilettes. In the Red, Blue and Green Rooms there was a profusion | of floral vases, bouquets, and wreaths made from the most choice flowers, culled from the | Presidential hot-house, which attracted the attention of every one, and whose fragrance filled the rooms. A few moments before 11 o’clock the Presi- dent entered the East Room. escorting Mrs. Dennison, the wife ot Postmaster General Den- nison, followed by Mrs. Lincolmupon the arm of Gov. Morgan. Shortly afterwards, the Pres- ident and Mrs. Lincoln retired, but the visit- ors seemed unwilling to depart, and it was some time before the house was cleared. The Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Scala was stationed in one of the ante- rooms, and performed, as usual, delicious music throughout the evening. The rule of decorum (sometimes violated) ot Jeavirg hats. overcoats, cloaks, furs and bon- nets in the places provided for them was gen- erally observed last night. This is as it should be. ‘The receptions at the White House for the season have been brilliantly inaugurated, and the scene last night was exceedingly attractive. Loss or THE REDEL STEAMER R.E. Lez.— | A Matamoras paper gives on account ef the ‘wreck of the steamer R. E. Lee, from Matsmo- Yas,joff the mouth of the Rio Grande. Tweaty- twoof the crew were drowned, and others | ‘were picked up on cotton bales by the French | * 4 advertising a ADVERTISING.—The New York Sun has the following on the advantages of advertising, which is equally applicable to this latitude: “To properly appreciate the value of adver- tising, over other methods of making one’s business Known to the community, we have only to instance the many large fortunes that have beem derived from a systematic course of ‘ood article in the columns of this journal. Benjamin Brandreth who is now worth half a million of dollars, attrib- utes his success to Advertising, which began with small notices in the Sun. Dr Town- send, and many others, are Evang Oxa Spies: Shortly after the war commenced Mr. Barnum concluded that his expences must be curtailed, and accordingly gave orders to one of his agents that bis 3d vertisements in the Sun must be cutdown one half. This was accordingly done. Afew weeks later, the «grat show- man” discovered that his daily receipts were growing “smallerby degrees and beautifully less.” He doubled his attractions, but still the Teceipts were not increased. The matter be- came serious, and troubled Mr. Barnum so much that it disturbed his slumbers. He gave orders to double the size of the advertisements 1t was done, and the result, as related by Bar- num himself, was an increase of $150 in his receipts the first week, and $250 per week sub- sequently. Since then he has never attempted to economise by reducing the amount paid for his advertisements.” RES PBoPosars FOR LUMBER. CaImr QUARTERMASTER’S OFFIon. Dsror or WAsHineron, Wasuincrom, D.

It would bea mira- cle if eyen the most intelligent officer should not some‘imes err, especially amid the muliti- plicity of cases, and the necessity for prompt, energetic action. Wesincerely believe that Col. Baker has remained in his onerous, unthank- ful, unremunerative position, under this fierce storm of malignant obloquy, trom purely pa- triotic motives; and itis certain that the Ds- partment employing his services (and which has the best opportunity for appreciating their value and disinterestedness) would longsince have displaced him had he been found want- ing in integrity in the slightest degree, ‘The value of his services to the country can best be estimated by referring to the changed state of affairs, before Col. Baker's detective administration and now. Then, the traitorous plotters and plunderers scarcely deemed it necessary to put on a dis- guise to their schemes, and p2raded the streets with brazen effrontery. Vow such plotters are not able to find within the limits of the landa lurking place so secret that they are not con- fronted by this vigilant—and by them—sin- cerely detested officer. Tne dread in which he is held by thieves and traitors everywhere, is shown by the shout of exultation sent up by every copper- head sheet throughout the land upon the oc- casion of the transmission lately from this city of a lying telegram to the effect that he had been sentenced to three years confinement by the criminal court here. The felicity of the copperhead gang above referred to was, how- ever, short-lived, as they have doubtless as- certained ere this that he ts still in the active discharge of his duties, and with quite the same power to defeat thelr unpatriotic ma- chinations as heretofore. BAFETY OF THE OREW OF THE 8T- KNICKERBOCKER, Ee Capt. Martin, of the steamer Kuickerbocker, which was lost in the gale on Friday last, off Smith’s Lighthouse, arrived here yesterday, on the mail steamer Dictator, and reports that the crew of the Knickerbocker were saved having been taken off by the gunboat Mer- cury, and sent up to this eity on the tug-boat Champion. They, however, made a narrow escape from capture by rebel guerrillas, who as soon as they saw the steamer in distress’ came down tothe river shore in droves, but fortunately a dense fog setin, and they were unable to make any demonstration. Capt. M believes that the guerrillas will destroy the exposed portion of the wreck by fire, and itis feared that they have accomplished their work by this time. There is a gunboat stationed in the vicinity ef Smith’s Lighthouse, to look after the guer- rillas on the Virginia side of the river, but during the prevalence of the dense fogs which frequently occur, it is impossible to watch their movements. This is the time seized by the guerrillas to ferry contraband goods across the river, and they embrace the opportunity frequently to fire random shois in the direc- tion of the river, in hopes of interfering with our transports. RESIGNED. Assistant Surgeon C. H. Osborne, for along while connected with Stanton Hospital, has resigned, after active service for over three years, for the purpose of going into private practice in this city. SENT TO FORT DELAWARE. Yesterday 13 enlisted men, convicted by court tial for various offences, were sent to Fort Delaware to serve out their terms of sentence. They were principally of New York regiments.

Sznatrs.—Mr. Grimes introduced a bill for the better organization of the pay department ofthe Navy. Referred to Naval Committee. Mr. Dixon, from the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, to whom was referred the memoriat of the Franklin Insurance Company of Washington, reported a bill to extend and amend thecharter of the company. The bill gives an extension ot twenty years, and an- thorizes an increase of capital to the amount of $250,000. it was at once passed. On motion of Mr. Wilson, the Adjutant Gen- eral of the Army was directed to report to the Senate a complete list of all the Major and Brigadier Generals of the volunteer forces, and how and where such officers were em- loyed on the ist of January last, and alsoa Tike list of all such officers or the regular Army, and their location and employment at thesame date. Mr. Wilson introduced a joint resolution to authorize and direct an inventory of articles in the United States. Referred to the Military Committee. Mr. Buckalew introduced a bill to repeal the existing provision ot law for recruiting in the tepel States. Keferred to the Military Com- miltee. Mr. Saulsbury rose and said that before the holidays he had offered a resolution in- struciing the Secretary of War to inform the Senate on what authority he had enlisted sol- diers for thirty and ninety days in Delaware. The Vice President suggested the necessity of anew resolution, and Mr. Saulsbury sub- mitted one, asking for information as to-such alleged enlistments prior to December 22d. or preceding the two last drafts in Delaware and. whether the recruits were promised they should not be subject to draft, or be required to. serve out of the State. Mr. Clark objected, and the resolution lies over. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee om Fi- nance, reported back the censular and aiplo- matic appropriation bill for 1866 without amendment. The biil was postponed until Friday. Mr. Fessenden reported back, from the Fi- nance Committee, the bill making appropri- ations for deficiencies of expenses for 1865, with amendments, and it was taken up. The amendments of the committee, including one striking out the appropriation for increased compensation of the employees of Congress, were agreed to. Hovss.—On motion of Mr. Kernan, the Com- mittee on Military Affairs was directed to re- port what legislation or action, ifany, is neces- sary to secure to persons arrested and im- prisoned by military authority a prompt ex- amination, the cause of their arrest, their dischargeit there is ne cause for their deten- tion, and if there is cause for thei, detention, a speedy trial. ‘The Houce resumed the consideration of the Senate resolution, pro} aint an amendment of the Constitution to avery. Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, replied to the remarks of Mr. Mallory, delivered yesterday. He main- tained that the Union Convention at Baltimore declared that the best interests of the country reqtired the adoption of the amendment ta the Constitution, while the Ohicage Qonvention did not dare to take up theissue. The Reople had declared their wish for the constitetional amendment. Mr. Fernando Wood said that at the former session of Congress he expressed his views against the proposed amendment, and at this session he had heard nothing to induce him to change his opinion.

Dis- tinguished speakers were announced to bein attendance, and a ‘fist patagrapb” appended to the cali invited # Every OonegRvATive Union Man in the District of Columbia, de- testing the commingling of the whits and black races, and opposed to social and political equal- ity_with the Brack Daw,” to attend. Fifteen detesters of commingling responded to the call. Among them were Hon. Charles Mason, (oc- cupying the chair,) and Messrs. Halliday, Meade, Anderson, Brereton, Bloor, Lakenan, Grinder, Byron Tyson, Rey. Mr. Clayton, and Dr. Allen. The four other detesters occupied back seats, and are unknown to fame, When our reporter entered the subject under discussion was a proposition to elect a perma- ~nt secretary. "Br. Viayton was for keeping up the organi- vation and expresed the hope that the meet- ings wouid be well atw.tded. ir O! has. Alien thought tnct the association could yet do something, and staid that if the people were properly organized sompnine 1 suitable candida‘es for collector, &c , there was some prospect. He Was for dropping the name of Democrat, for there were some men who, although they were of ti® same opillions as the members of the association, hated the nanie, which acted on them like a dose of strychnine. He was in favor of the party being called the Union or Conservative Association and he was Sure that many would rally around the stand- ard. The present Collector, Dixon, had been a conservative man, but was now as ultra as any ot the abolitionists, and it was not known who would receive the nomination. Dixon was a popular man and would be hard to beat. He was not present to make a report from the Committee—they were not ready to report yet. The object was to help the Constitutional Union, which was in debt, and it was necessary to take itoutof debt. Coi. Florence had worked hard for the party, was self denying and de- served support; but talking will not support the paper. Mr. Tyson opposed any change of name— the other party had changed several times, but the Democracy never, and if they could not succeed under the name of democrats they could not under any other. Dr. Clayton was also opposed to the change of name—it had been a continuous party from the beginning. The Whig party Mad changed several times, and he believed itran as thi Whig party butjthree campaigns in °40, ’44 ani 48. Dr. C. was glad to hear that the name would give some people the fits, but like the old doctor, the association may be h—I on fits. Then let us get them into fits first and we can manage them. He argued that the first thing the Irish and Dutch wanted toknow when they arrived here was where to find the Dem- @cratic party, and when peace was proclaimed the first thing our Southern brethren would want to find would be the whereabouts of the party, and when they found the association they would find some great men, such as Tom Florence, Dr. Clayton and Bill Geary. Mr. John D. Lakenan argued that the name Democratic commenced with Jefferson in 1796, and from 179% to 1s60, with the exception of about twelve years, the people had been blest with Democratic rule—light taxes and every necessary of life within the scope of the poor man. We were either Democrats or Abolition- ists, white men or niggers, and he chose white principles, and had tried to exercise Christian forbearance, love, and charity, which princt- ples belonged to the party. Dr. Allen said the name was one that all could be proud of, and he believed that the history of Buchanan’s administration would, when written impartially, cause his name to go down to posterity with honor. When Dem- ocratic principles cease to exist, then will the Republic be goni The meeting adjourned.

Mr. Brown stated that he was astonished to see in the papers of Tuesday last that the offi- cers of the Court kad been elected. He had attended that meeting for the purpose of voting againet some of them but had it appeared got to the meeting too late. He therefore moved the yote be reconsidered, which was agreed to. \d A new election was thereupon entered upon, when the same officers were elected.
