iUportcr. E. O. GOODRICH. EDITOR. TOW.A-ISTdD-A. : Thursday Morning, February 19, ISC3. SUMMARY OF NEWS. The Rebel advance in Mississippi is said to be at Okolona, trying to repuir the railroad destroyed by Gen. Grant. By the way of Tuscumbia it is reported that the enemy have moved a large part of the Array cf Virginia to Vicksburg, and also taken ali the garrison of Mobile except 4,000 for police duty. The railroad from Sc-Ima to Meridian is completed, thus enabling the Rebels to rapidiv concen trate their forces at Yieksburg. Maj.-Gen. Fremont has, for the second time we believe, urged the Government to give him something to do—some active service. As ho has no political pilgrimage on hand, he has come to the rather singular conclusion that his place is in the fk-iik There is not much danger of the disease becoming epidemic A dispatch from Cairo states that the le vees on the east side of the Mississippi at \ a zoo Pass, have been cut by the Union forces. They have also been cut at Greenville, and on the west bank opposite Lake Providence. The War Department has ordered a special court to inquire into the charges that Union officers have been concerned in traffic i.i cot toD, <fce., on the Mississippi. The court will meet at once in Cairo. Washington dispatches characterize the Rebel stories of disaffection in Gen. BankTs army as weak inventions of the enemy. The truth proves the exact reverre. The official account of the recent attack on our fieet in Charlestioa harbor, from Admiral Dupont, establishes the fact pretty clearly that the blockade cf that port was never broken. The statements of the officers of blockading vessels, which Admiral Dupont eucloscs, deny absolutely nearly ail the iU_ . promulgated by General Beauregard and Commodore lngraunm, and endorsed by the foreign consuls—the latter officials receiving a severe rebuke for their agency in the pro pagation of the original report. From the official despatch, we ic-arn tli.it not half the fleet slipped their cables during the action <.. the morning cf the 31-st n't., ntr rnovc-d from their anchorage during the day. Even the Stono river, where the Issac Smith was lost, is again reoccupied, cud Union sailors and soldiers are constantly en there at James Island. Among the interesting items cf news from the South are the proceedings of the rebel Congress with reference to the navigation of the Mississippi river, which was declared free to all friendly States by the Confederate pro visional government in 1801, and re'ating to the confiscation cf property belonging 10 alien enemies (Unionists.) A bill authorizing the impressment of slaves and property for the use cf the rebel army was passed in the House of Representatives, and a resolution was adopted providing for the sale of all negroes found in arms against the rebel government, the pro ceeds to be divided among the captors. A vote of thanks to the guerilla chief Morgan for his services in the West was also adopted. The London Teh graph of the 31st of January says the Hon. Mr. .Mason, the Corn missioner fro-v the Confederate State, ha, been one of the distinguish circle of visitors entertained by the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath, at Longleat, during the past week. Some difficulty occurred at Fort Royal as to the right of command to the troops of Gen eral Foster's expedition to that place, the lat ter officer j re-noilng that, although within the jurisdiction of General Hunter's military do partmeut, the supreme command of his own men still rested in himself, as being a portion of the Eighth Army corps. But Gen. Hun ter has settled the question by assuming com mand of Gen. Foster's troops, regarding them as rc enforcements to the Tenth Army corps, of which he is chief, and requiring Generals Noglee and Ferry to report to him. General Hooker, accompanied by Genera's Bntterfield and Sickles, reviewed the corps ol General Sigel on Monday, and expressed him self great'y pleased with the appearance and discipline of the men. There is nothing of importance regarding military movements re ported from the Army of the Potomac. The official account of the destruction of the United States steamer Hattercs by the privateer Alabama was received at the Navy Department yesterday from Lieutenant Com manding Blake and Surgeon Matthews, dated from the United States consulate nt Kingston, Jamaica. The loss suffered by the crew of the Hatterass was two killed and five wound ed. The latter are being well cartd for in hospital at Kingston. Some "patriotic" individuals have formed au association known as the " S. B. " In Illinois. The Chicago Post vouches for its patriotic designs, and that it is extensively in troduced into the army, the initials signifying " Strong Rand " or " Strong Bictherbood."— If such an organization exists, it is probably a branch of the K. Gr. C. and the initials are more likely to signify " Secession Blowers " or 'Southern Betrayers." If it numbers many of our army officers they might be safe ly interpreted " Slow Boys." Honest patriot ism needs no such secret political machinery. Trie entire immigration last year into the United States was 114,415, nearly 100 - 000 arriving at New York. GENERAL BURNSIDE BEFORE THE INVESTI GATING COMMITTEE. General Burnside was before the Committee ou the Conduct of the War, to testify in res ponse to the resolution of the Senate inquiring of his having been interfered with in his plans for the taking of Richmond. His testimony revealed some startling facts ; none of the committee doubted his word, and yet they were slow to believe that more than one CJen eral has been guilty of treason. Charges now hang over the heads of several officers vhich, if true, any save our own would order then) to a military execution foitu with. His testimony wili probably not ali be reported to the Senate at present. Perhaps it will not be published to the world uctu af ter the war is over. The difficulties that General Burnside has had thrown in his way since his Lnk.ng com mand, from the day the pontoons were not forthcoming, us per agreement with Generals Halleck and Meigs, to the day he resigned' were of all kinds. Imbecility, cowardice, apathy and treason met him at every turn. — His orders were not always obeyed just when they should be ; officers from whom more should have been expected shirked their duty; treason in our own camps exposed Lis plans to the enemy as rapidly as they were formed, and jealous officers succeeded in more than once preventing a forward movement at the opportune moment. It is believed that the Court-martial of Gen eral Franklin will bring many facts to light, and show to the country why we have again failed to take Richmond and destroy the Reb el Army of the Potomac. General Burnside has again demanded that a command be given him where he can be of some service in suppressing the Rebellion, or he will resign .his commission. The statement which has been going the rounds of the press that he has said' General McClellan is the on ly man who is competent to lead the Army of the Potomac is entirely false. Men claiming to be the especial friends of General McGiei ian have proved to be the worst enemies cf General Burnside and of the country. CONGRESS. In the United States Senate on Friday, Mr Wilson reported back the bill to raise addi tional soldiers for the service of the United Suites, with the recommendation that it do not pass, because the authority intended to be granted is sufficiently granted ia the act ap proved July IT, 1882. This is the bill intro duced by Mr. Sumner. The bill to withhold the pay oi' officers absent from duty was report cd back. The biil to satisfy claims for dam age done by Union troops in West Virginia was reported back. The resolution was pass cd to revive the act to secure to men actually employed in the D -partment of the Y.'est and Missouri their pay, bounty, and pensions. A bill was reported to provide for an Assistant Treasurer of the United Slates ; also a bill to give Inspectors of Customs at Mew York $1 per day. The bill to prevent correspondence with the Rebels was passed. A kill was oiT.r ed for tire reorganization of the Engineer Corps. The Ways and Means bill for the support of the Government was ihen taken up. An amendment was adopted making the in terest on notes authorized by the biil, and certificates of indebtedness hereafter issued, payable in lawful money insteud of coin ; al so, an amendment reducing the amount of notes to be issued to $150,000,000 instead of $300,000,000, including the amount issued by the resolution of January IT, 1803. The section allowing coupons on bonds and notes to be received for customs thirty days before and after duo was stricken out. Motion was made to amend the proposed tax of 2 per cent, on the circulation of the banks, so as to make it 1 per cent, for two years, and 2 per cent, after that. It was adopted, 23 to 15. On the final vote the bill was adopted 32 to 4 the four nays were the very malignant copper heads Carlile of Virginia, Powell of Kentucky, rtichaiiisoi) of Illinois, and Wull of New Jer sey. In the House, the Naval App:opriation bill was passed, after some amendments. The House agreed to the amendment striking out an appropriation of $403,000 for the New- York Navy-Yard, and inserting $1,243,000 for a sectional or floating dry dock, of suffi cient size and capacity for raising any vessel now built. A bill to amend the several Con fiscation acts was reported. A bill was intro duced to provide a home for poor disabled and discharged soldiers. In the Senate 011 Monday, petitions in fa vor of reducing the duties on iron and and steel and spirituous and malt liquors, were presented and referred. The Military Com mittee made a report relative to the cause of Richard Thomas,otherwise.- calied the '"French Lady," an inmate of Fort Lafayette. So far from Mr. Thomas being insane, as alleged.the surgeon at the fort reports him in excellent health, but regards him as eccentric. The bill regulating the appointment of midshipmen was taken up,and the amendniout ratifying the appointments by the President a-nd Secretary of the Navy was rejected. A resolution was adopted directing inquiry as to the expediency of passing an act to enable the people of New- Mexico to form a constitution, preparatory to their aCmission as a State. The bill provid ing tor tiie enrolment and calling out the mill tia of the country was then taken up. A uuraber of amendments were offered, Eome of which were adopted, and at midnight the bill was passed. The pirate Alabama was spoken on the 28th of January about SO miles uorth ea6t of St. Johns, New Providence, The Pennsylvania Legislature. SENATE. HARRICEVKO, Thursday, Feb. 12. ISG3.

The Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth being introduced, presented a message from the Governor relative to- the arrest of citizens of this State by the National Government. The message was ordered to be printed in the Record. Adjourned. ECUsE CF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, Feb. 12, 1533. MILITARY ARRESTS. A message from the Governor, relative to this subject, was received, which was read, as follows : EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, 1 ITXIIRISSUKG, Feb. 12,L503. j' Tc> the Senate and House <>f Representatives of the Commomceallh of Pennsylvania : GENTLEMEN :—I desire to call your atten tion to a subject cf moment. When the present infamous and God con demned rebellion broke out, b .ogress was not in session, end the occurrence of such a state of things not having been foreseen in former times, no adequate i-.-gisiatiou had'been had to meet it. At the same time the life of the country being at sink?, it appeared necessary that some menus should be taken to control the small baud of trailers la the loyal b tales, so as to prevent them from maehiuadous which might be injurious, if not fatal to the national cause. Under these circumstances th • General Governwiit resorted to lbs. system of miiitaiy arrests of dang reus person 7 , end having thn commenced aciiug under it, have centum* J (at long interval.; in tins State) to pursue it. The government of t !•■..• L .ited Stales nuts di rt el! v on individuals, and Ike State Executive has no authoiity or mean- to interfere with ar rests of citizens of the United Suites made un der the authority of that government. Every citizen of Pennsylvania is also a citi zen of the United Slates and owes alhglancu to them, as well as (subject to the , . .i-iun cf tiie Constitution ot the United Stales) In owes it to Pennsylvania. If he be unlawfully deprived of his kbcrty, his only redress is to In had at the hands of the judiciary. In suck times us the present it is mure than ever neces sary to pursue regularity in official action.— Great efforts have been and are probably slid being made, by persons blinded or iil dispos d to throw us into a state of revolution—that is to say, crcat anarchy and contusion —and ulti mately to bring about the destruction of life and property among . Any irregular, much more illegal, interferi e by our Executive, with matters which by the Coi.s'ilution are uot ec trusted to Ids cognizance, ur.d especially any such interference with the action of the Executive of the United States or with the functions of the judiciary, would K- in the ex isting cr.-is emphatically dangerous ; it would have a direct revolutionary tendency ; in fact it would be to comtm nee a revolution. The courts of justice are open, ot.il no doubt aii per sonal wrongs can be properly redressed in uue course of law. I do not know how many arrests of the kind hereinbefore referred to have been made in Pennsylvania, as I have at no time been privy to tiie making of tiiem.bnt I beiiu-ve they have been few. I was under the iinpres-ion that there would be no necessity for more of them, but recent events having shown that this im pression was erroneous, I deem it my duty now to invite your attention to the subject. The contest in which we are engaged is one for the preservation of our own liberty and welfare. The trsitors at the south hate the grout body of cur people who are loyal, a hate and bitterly despise the few whoare ready for submission. Unless the rebellion be effect ually suppressed we must 10-e our pride o! country, the larger portion of our territory,and the elements not only of greatness, hot of pros perity and even of security to life, liberty and property. Notwithstanding all this,it is,l fear, an undoubted truth that a few wretches among us, false to all our free and loyal traditions— false to the memory of their fathers and to the rights of their children—false to the country which has given them birth and protected them only stopping short of the technical of fence of treason —in the very madness of mis chief, are actively plotting to betray us—to poison and mislead the minds of our people by treacherous misrepresentations, and to so aid and comfort the rebels that our fate may be ei ther to abandon the free north and become hangers-on of a government founded in treach ery, fraud and insane ambition ; or at least, to dissolve the Union under which we have pros pered, and to break this fair and glorious country into fragments which will be cursed by perpetual discords at home, and by the contempt and iil usage ot foreign nations,from which we shall then be too weak to vindicate ourselves. That such offences should be duly punished no good citizen can doubt—and that proper legislation by Congress is required for that pur pose can be as little doubted. Whether such legislation should include a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in any, and what part of the country, is a question which belongs ex clusively to the legislative authorities of the United States.who under the Constitution have the tight to determine it. That great writ ought not to be suspended, unless, to the wis dom of Congress,the present necessity shall ap pear to be urgent. I therefore recommend the passage of a joint resolution e.raeslly Con gress shall forthwith pass laws defining and punishing offences of the class above referred to, and providing fof the fair and speedy trial by an impartial jury of persons charged with such offences, in the loyal and twulislubed States, so that the guilty may justly suffer and the innocent be relieved. A. G. CURTIN*. The message was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, and live thousand copies in Englisti and two tbousaud in German were ordered to be printed for the use of the House NEW COUNTY OF LACKAWANNA. House bill to erect a new county out of part of Luzerne county, to be Called Lucka wanna, was discussed, and Passed finally. RESTORATION OF TONNAGE TAX. On motion of Mr. HOPKINS, (Washington,) the bill for the restoration of the tonnage tax was made the special order for Wednesday, February 25 Adjourned. Tho ftifair ia Charleston Harbor—The Xisbel Story Totally FaLid. As we anticipated, the rebel report to the affair in Charleston harbor was r.ot only ex nggerated, bat almost entirely untrue. Ttte Union and true version of the nfi'.dr, received by the urrival of the Princess Royal at Phila delphia yesterday, shows thai none of our vessels were sunk, none of them were s"t on fife, none of them were seriously disabled ; that the fleet was not scattered, nor was the blockade raised or broken in any particular. The real facts arc: briefly these : The Princess Royal, a new and valuable contraband blockade running steamship from England, was captured by our gunboat Mer ced ita on the 29th. but the pilot and another officer got asiiore in a small hot. The rebels, annoyed at the mishap,undertook to recapture the Princess. On a foggy morning, at one o'clock, they got out two rains, one of which run against the Merecdito ( i light draught vessel iying close in shore), and at the same time fired a shot which went into her boiler, v.hcreby four men were kiiled. Captain Steii wagen of the Mercedita sent a beat to the rum, representing that he was in a sinking condition, but r.ot surrendered. The rata could not or wool ! uot take anybody ou board but demanded a surrender ; the Mercedila's Lieutenant did linaiiy surrender Irtnseif, was paroled, and went back to his ship. Moan while the ram !-ft the JMircedita, and got a shot at the Keystone State, smashing her steam eh. „t, and killing twenty-one men in all. The Union gunboat ilousatomc by this time got into action and drove off the rums, . hlcb, at about sunrise, returned to Charleston with out a pri oner or a trophy. The AKreedita steamed down to Port I loyal, where it would take one day to repair her; the Keystone State was towed to the same place ; the block ading vessels were at their regular stations, us usual, nearly aii the same day, and were itin forced by luc New Ironsides ; the Princess il >vm was not ret taetqbul a now sufo in port at Philadelphia.

Her possession by the rebels would have been worth the i Q'ort they made to obtain her by to i attack ou lac oiucauuibg squauron.—Lev Fast. BSATiie Rhode Island Journal thus speaks of dt-pondeney in relation to he ultimate suc cess of the war for the Union. " Now we do uot cone da for a moment, for a single second, that we are to fail in t lie great work of putting down the rebellion. Wo be lieve liiai we shall achieve the task. What troubles we may hive to overcome, what sufferings to endure, what sacrifices to rnuke, how many years we may have to suff r, how njany lives and how much treasure may be spent we cannot conjecture. But we have such faith in our people a: d the cause which they are defending, that we have no sort o! doubt of our ultimate success. We know that the rebt*is are strong, but wo believe that we are mightier than they. We see how much has been accomplished in a year, and we are convinced that before the first of May, tie r domain will tie much more restricted than it is now. We know that there i scattered through every b'.aie in the north a party of compromisers, peace democrats, men willing to grant any tiling to the south that sh wishes, provided only that they can regain those pi aces of power from which u patriotic people, indignant at their iniquities, hurled . lie in to the ground. But we believe that their number and liuhinee is overrated by many By blowing hot and cold, by talking a little ,patrioti>m and artfully disguising their treason by -hams and tricks, by noise and newspapers, they may do much mi-chief. They are doiug much to day. But they are not the people nor tiie majority. Only let their masks be .-tripped, let their intensions be staled in plain English, let it be really felt that the control of affairs is passing into their hands, and that this nation is to be delivered over, bound hand and foot, to J. If. Davis, and you will see a rai y like that which followed the fall of Sumter. Men may be weary of the war, may become despondent, may sigh for peace, but when the crisis comes, and the acknowledge meat that the rebellion has succeeded is to be made and all the direful consequeuces of yield ing to it, stares us in the face, the nation will gather up again its trembling energies, and with a mightier blow than has yet been struck dash down to ruin the rebellion at the south, and the meaner conspiracy at the north. Such is our unshaken, abiding and sacred convic tion. LATEST FROM EUROPE —By fin arrival at Halifax we have later news from Europe, The Paris Pays says that it has reason to state that the government of the Emperor has ad dressed a communication to Washington pro posing means of arrnngemeraent between the two belligerents which would fully protect the dignity of the Americans. P.? Nurd also says France has proposed the convocation of an American Congress with a view to peace.— The Paris correspondent of the London Times says that official instructions have been sent to Washington suggesting that commissioners be delegated by the federal government and by Southern States to meet on neutral ground and confer together, without hostilities being suspended, so that <m y lU . r i t advise mutual concessions and effect a reconciliation, so de sirable for the world. U. S. SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA.— The Cal ifornia Legislature has finally elected John Conness to tire U. S. Senate. Mr. Conness was formerly a Dong!a s Democrat, and latter ly a member of the Union party. He was the Union Democratic candidate for Governor in 1801, and has since been an earnest and zea lous supporter of the Union movement and ticket. He is represented as an able and hon est man RF.VI?F.I> REVENUE CODE. —The next impor tant State business likely to come before our Legislature this year, says an exchange, is the bill matured bv three competent men during the last season for the equalizing and remodel ing ot our State Tax System. Light to ten thousand copies of the bill, in pamphlet form, have been sent over the State, for the exami nation of the system. It now becomes the pfQph', without distinct ten of juirly, to give tlieir Rprepetitaiives their views on the sub ject. it is no party—it is no transient, or tri lling affair : it concerns the fruits of a!! your toils and possessions, as the basis of taxation not only for State but for ail other purposes except that of putting down the eiavehohlets* insurrection. It is very important, then, that the matter be candidly hut thoroughly con s' itjered. The main features of the Revenue Code are a great decrease of the real rotate tax ; an increase of ti.e railway and other taxes of cor porations ; and more direct, and simple and effective mode of laying and collecting taxes. The detail's of' these measures are too numerous for a newscaptr article. Toe Code should be rend for that purpose. One or more copies have been sent to every Post Office in the country, for general examination. The Act to make the Bill a Law comes properly before the House, firs'—and to it the people should send their petitions in favor, or remonstrances against, the proposed important changes. And let it be done speedily, that those intrusted with decisive action may have thne to understand your views, and to- mature measures.
