VOLUNTEERS WANTED. SECOND ARMY CORPS. —Authority having been given Major Gen. Han cock to recruit the 2d Corps to fifty thousand men tor such special service, under his command, as may be desig nated by the War Department, he ap peals to the citizens of Pennsylvania to aid in tilling up the regiments and batteries of his command which owe their origin to the State. They are as follows: 81st, 140 th, 116 th, (battal ion) 148 th, 53d, 145 th, 71st, 72d, 69th, and 106 th Regiments of Infantry, and Batteries F and G, Ist Penna. Artil lery, and C and F. Independent Penna Artillery. All volunteers enlisted for this organization will receive the fol lowing bounties paid by Government until the first of March, viz, to veter ans 5402 ; to others, 8302. Any one desiring to enlist in either of these or ganizations may do so in any part of the State by making application to the District Provost Marshal, or any re cruiting officer from the 2d Corps, no matter to which regiment said officers may belong. The General in his circular says : " As this is a matter of interest to all citizens of this State—its quota being still nearly 30,000 deficient, I earnestly call upon you all to assist by exerting the in fluence in your power in this important matter. To adequately reinforce our armies in the field is to insure that the war will not reach your homes, and will be the means of bringing it to a speedy and happy con clusion, and of saving the lives of many of our brave soldiers who would otherwise be lost by the prolongation of the war and in indecisive battles. "It is only necessary to destroy the rebel armies now in the field to insure a speedy and permanent peace; let us all act with that fact in view; let it not be said that Pennsylvania which has already given so many of her citizens to this righteous cause, shall now, at the eleventh hour, be behind her sister States in furnishing her quota of the men deemed necessary to end the rebellion. Some States have filled their quotas; others will do so; a little ex ertion on our part will soon fill all the decimated regiments of the State and obvi ate the necessity of a draft." —Brigham Young has just taken a now wife—his 91st. —The snow is already forty feet deep among the Kocky mountains. —Jef. Davis's friends in the Senate of Pennsylvania still continue to re fuse to transact any business. —Among the novelties of trade is the receipt of tobacco in the Hew Or leans market from the State of Con necticut. —JohnForney, indictedfor the mur der of Lieut. Ford, was acquitted by a Fulton county jury. There are some queer doings in that region, as is pro ved by the fact that a deserter can wantonly shoot down an officer and not be punished for it! The Tonnage Tax An amusing scene took place in the Senate on Thursday. It is well known that Senator Hopkins has labored hard the past two sessions of the Legisla ture to have the law relative to the release of certain tonnage duties re- j pealed, and in order to test the sincer ity of Mr. Hopkins on this subject, I Mr. Graham, the able Senator from Allegheny, who is also in favor of the j repeal, offered the following resolution, ! viz : Jiesolved, That the Speaker be empowered to appoint a committee, whose duty it shall j be to bring in a bill for the repeal of the act j known as " An act for the commutation of I tonnage duties," approved the 7th day of March, 1861, said committee to consist of j three Senators, whose duty it shall be to re ; port the same at the earliest possible day. On the question, will the Senate pro ceed to a second reading of the same? the yeas and rays were as follows: -YEAS —Me*srs. Champuey, Dunlap, Gra ham, Iloge, Householder, Johnson, M'Cand less, Turrell, Worthiogton and Penny, Speak er—lo. NAYS —Messrs. Beardslee. Booker, Clymcr, Connell, Flemming, Glatz, Hopkins, Kinsey, Lamberton, Latta, M'Sherry, Montgomery, Smith and Stein—l 4. The vote looks rather queer in print for Hopkins, who has been such tin ar dent advocate of that measure, when a majority of his fellow members were opposed to it. We supposed that he would have rejoiced to vote for his darling measure at any time, but wise men will change their opinions some times. — Harrisburg 1 elrgraph. Bucher, the member from this dis trict, is also against it—in short, it seems to have become a part of the democratic platform. —ln Tienton, N. J., last Tuesday, Adam Seeger aud his wife had a violent quarrel, and he was heard to threaten to hang her before night. Sure enough, before night she was found hanging in the cellar, quite dead. —The New Orleans Picayune ac knowledges the receipt of a potato weighing twenty six pounds from Mata moras. The donors remark that they would have sent a bigger one, only freights are so high ! —The new Iving of Greece has gain ed the favor of his subjects, lie goes to church regularly, frequents the markets and bazaars, talks with com mon folks, and seems inclined to be amiable and just. —Nathan Wodoll disappeared very suddenly from Westport, Mass., in 1816, and has now returned after an absence of forty-seven and a half years. During that time he has traveled the wide world over. —Out of the twenty-one men for merly in school district No. 13 in Iras burg, Vermont, titeen have enlisted, leaving not a single military subject at home, the youngest man being forty six years of age. Rev. Mr. Van Allen of lowa, and his wife, killed on board steamer Brazil, near Donaldsonville, Mississippi river, Dec. 11, by shot from a rebel battery on the shore, were going South as teachers of freedom. —Edwin H. Ewing, one of the ablest of the rebel lawyers in Tennessee, has declared his purpose to accept the President's proffer of pardon, and re turn to his allegiance. Many others are doing so, and their numbers will constantly increase. —The Huntingdon Globe says that on Sunday night of last week, the mansion house of Peter Ripple, in Cromwell township, occupied byElihu Brown, was destroyed by fire, commu nicated from the chimney. The loss to Mr. Ripple is SSOO, and to Mr. Brown about SSO. —A letter from Pesth, of the 20th of November, says that there has been no rain in Hungary for nearly two years. As a conseqnence, the crops have come to nothing, and the flocks and herds are dying, disease having followed the drouth. The writer esti mates the loss at sixty million dollars. —The steamer America, from New York on October 30th, arrived at Panama on January Ist. She brought news from Valparaiso that the cathedral in Santiago, Chili, caught fire on the 14th ult., wheu densely crowed with human beings. The doors were closed by the pressure of the crowd, ihe iuterior of the building being ornamented with light drapery and other inflammable material, was soon in a blaze, and the flames spread rapidly throughout the whole building, and most of the peo ple in it were either turned or crushed to death. Some one thousand nine hundred and filly dead bodies, mostly of women and children, had been recovered from the ruins. Mrs. Partington's Ike goes a sol dier. Mrs. Partington makes a fare well address: 'lke my son, stand up while 1 address you—hold my bonnet and specks. Fellow soldiers—lt is the abandoned duty for all to be patriareh . these times, and to hand down, unimpaired, the gloriousflagof succeed generations. (Here Ike commenced counting off the new fashioned cheer, swinging the old bonnet up and down as he went in one, two, three—tiger.) March hesitatingly into the contented field, and if a rebel demands your quarters, toil him you had but three and the last one is spent; then, if he won t quit and leave, quit yourself like a man, and may you have a glorious campaign of it.' THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. The following circular letter, signed by all the Union men in the Pennsjdvania Legislature, will be read with satisfaction by all the truly loyal Uuiou men in the nation. To His Excellency , ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States: DEAR SIR : — The undersigned, mem hers ot the Legislature of Pennsylvania, thus early in the session of that body, has ten to congratulate you on the success ot the policy of the National Administration, and the auspicious circumstances under which the second Congress of your term has been organized. When it is fairly considered that the policy of your Admin istration was made the issue in the late elections—when it was known that in the contest for the most important State, as well as the most insignificant municipal office, the issue involved all the essential principles of the policy of your Adminis tration, the result must be the more highly appreciated by the friends of freedom abroad, and cheering to the defenders of freedom, the Union and the Constitution at home. \\ e would he unmindful of the duty we owe our country, if we hesitated to acknowledge the force of that pol.cy in the elections which placed us in our pres ent legislative positions. When fearlessly advocated and set before the people, it won us victoiy in the lace of the most persis tent and hitter opposition from the foes of free government. You need not be re minded of lhe effect which the late elec tion in Pennsylvania had on the destiny of the nation. The triumph at the ballotbox aroused the ardor, and seemed to breathe fresh valor into the hearts of our soldiers, for the achievement ot victory on the bat tle field. And if the voice of Pennsylva nia became thus potential in endorsing the policy of your Administration, we consider that, as the representatives of those who have so completely endorsed your official course, we are only responding to their de mands when we thus publicly aunounce our unshaken preference for your re-elec tion to the Presidency in 1804. The hope and the lite of the American people are now centered in the purpose and the effort of the Govemmeut to crush rebellion. In more than two years of struggle we have discovered that the re bellion is continued for an object more im portant than that of redressiug even a real wrong. It is waged for the establishment of a dogma and the recognition of a barba rism. It is carried on against the Govern aent for its absolute destruction. In such a struggle there can he no compromise de vised to offer or considered for acceptance. One or the other of the contending parties must triumph. Justice must be vindica ted by the full recognition and operation of the Government in all the States —or the claims of the traitors will be maintain ed, this magnificent structure of our Gov ernment destroyed, and the rights of men forever ignored. To make a change in the Administration, until its authority has been fully re established in the revolted States, would be to give the enemies of the Gov ernment abroad the pretext for asserting that the Government had failed at home To change the policy now in operation, to crush rebellion and to restore the land to peace, would he to afford the traitors in arms time te gather new strength, if not for immediate victory, at least for ultimate success in their efforts permanently to dis solve the Union. Having a firm faith in the logic and the reason of these positions, we are frank in our endeavors thus to urge on you the acceptance of a re election to the Presidency. We believe that the pol icy of your Administration rendered us victorious at our last election, and we now insist that that policy, if represented by yourself in all the States, would give a vic tory to the Government in November, and thus forever put an end to all hope of the success of treason. We do not make this communication at this time to elicit from } T ou any expression of opinion on this subject. Having confi dence in your patriotism, we believe that you will abide the decision of the friends of the Union, and yield a consent to any honorable use which they may deem prop er to make of your name, in order to se cure the greatest good to the country, and the speediest success to our arms. vania has always wielded a potent influence in the politics of the country. Her pref erences have always been tantamount to the success of the statesman to whom she attaches herself —and her voice has never failed to give the victory to the right.— And while we, the representatives of the great majority of the masses of the Com uionwealth, thus avow our confidence and reliance in your official action and capacity, we feel that we are responding to the clearly expressed preferences of those masses', and that Pennsylvania would hail your re-election as the omen of complete victory to the Government. Expressing what we feel to be the language not only of our own constituents, but also of the people of all the loyal States, we claim to indulge the expectation that you will yield to the preference which has already made you the people's candidate for President in 1864. Hoping, sir, that you may live to see the full triumph of your efforts to rescue your country from rebellion, and enjoy many years thereafter of its tranquil peace and prosperity, we remain your friends and fellow citizens.
