=C==l General history has taken but little notice of the fact that Pensacola: has been the seine of "war's alarms," several times before the naval and miii -tary operations which make it at the present mo ment the centre of se Muth interest. - The eityivas founded by Andrea de Pea, in 1693; was taken by the French from the Spaniards un.- der , Chateauguag; was retaken, by, the Spa ;Wards-Tend APIA rataten ' the French, under Bienidlle' in. - 17.1.9.

Major Rene ral Campbell, who offered a stout resistance to the laVsiders,.but unavailingly. Ajournal keptduring the siege by - Major Robert Farmar, of the British army, premiss a number of interesting incidents. The first entry, Map* 9th, notices the appear _ ante off the bar of thirty-two Spanish vessels, which landed some - men on Santa Rosa Island. On the 11th, they had erected. some batteries 'there, and driven off two British vessels. On -the 12th, the Cliffs, British fort, fired 'at some men erecting a battery, and drove them from their work. 'Ott the -19th, twenty-two of the enemy's vessels passed the Cliffs, receiving no damage. On the 20th, Captain Stevens arrived with a party of Indians, who said that , the day , previo us they had captured a boat of the enemy,-and hilted nine out of ten of the crew. :Same day, Calves sent a flag of truce, threatening, but asying it was not his intention to burn the shipping, Ring's building, or town. For several' days the . passage of enemy's vessels by the fort (the-Clifus) is noticed. ' On the 16th the Six. *crab twit', Sixtieth regiments left Pensacola 'and took up stations at the redoubts." On the 20th the Indians brought in twenty-three of enemy's horses and two scalps. ' On the 26th the 'enemy's fleet weighed'amshor and took up position between Moores and Sutton's lagoons. A British detach ment one hundred men, under Capt. Byrd,, was sent out to meet theui. These were joined by 250 Indians, under 'Capt. Cameron. It seems that the British made free use of the Indians during -this siege, The Spanish and French fleet now numbered forty-two sail. Owthe 29th the Indians came reporting IL brush with the enemy beyond Sutton's lagoon, in width they drove in the whets three 'times. The enemy's grenadiers fired four times, - and then retreated, woundino. four Indians. The Indians report," proceeds the journals "that they killed and wounded antunber of the enemy, ' but coned not get their hair on 'account of. the enemy's troops turning out with a number of dragoons." We suppose this excuse was satisfactory to the British commander. . - . . -On the 30th; Captain Kennedy, of-the Maryland 'Loyalists a. tories) retreated to "Neill's Mea dows" before the fire of the enemy. Afterwards some Indians, supported. by some British, moved --forward, and, with the additional aid of fifty ne groes, forced the enemy to retreat under cover of their shipping. The Indians brought in, as trophies, four drums. a head, and "a number of scalps." On the sth of April the Indians (whoseem to have done, so far, a large part of the work) attacked bath wings of the enemy's camp, and kept them under arms alt night.- On- the 7th; a ll•adeok, (Fleming), a deserter from the enemy, eeported the enemy badly off for provisions. The same day there arrived in 'camp, from St. Augustine, en ex. pram, saying that Lord Cornwallis had killed • 3,000 -of the rebels (our revolutionary tires) at Hillsboro, North Carolina. dame day five negroes took a Spaniard at Gull Point. , • . April 23ti, anutherdeserter from the enemy tells the old story how badly the enemy are faring for -, provisions—" one midi gels only three ounces of beans a day." The 24th was a busy day. Three :thousand of the _enemy advanced on the British - - entrer.chments and drove back some Indiana, bat were in turn driven back by Capt. Bird, of the Sixtieth. • Then Capt. Kearny with fifty proviu - (dials, and Capt. Johnstone; with two howitzers and two field pieces, joined Capt. Byrd, who, however, raturnefi, attempting nothing further. Late in the day a brig fired at the fort, but - was repulsed by a single howitzer, fired from the beach. Later still, Capt. Kearny bad a brush with the enemy and took a prisoner belonging to the Irish Brigade" (in the _Preach service). A messenger from Carolina, the _same day, brought word that Lord Cornwallis bad killed 2,000 rebel* at Guilford, whreat, says the journal, we, at S P. M., " fired a - fens joie." ' On the 26th, a flag of trues returned, reported that the " fleet ouleide" (of the bar) corn. Fatal II Spanish and 4 French lbac•of-battle ships, and a "few frigates." The defensive works in the British HMI had been strengthened day by day, and this day a counter battery on the left wing was finish ed and another begun on the right of the A redoubt. •On the, rah the enemy advanced and were mot with the usual spirit. Two deserters from the Irish Brigade. who came in,the next day, reported that one hundred of the enemy were killed and wounded. On the 29th the enemy began throwing up an en trenchment, covering, a length of two miles. The British advanced picket was obliged to tetire. Tired from the fort and her redoubts shot and shell • during day and night at the enemy's works. May Ist, kept up the lire on these works. On the 24, - the enemy began in their turn. They hoisted their flag and opened batteries of six 24-pounders and . two mortar*, killed one man and wounded five. The damage done to the fleetewea repaired at night. On the 2d, the enemy fired five hundred and thirty fear shots and one hundred and eighty-six shells, killing one Man and wounding two, but doing little other 'Assuage. About four hundred shot were picked up, "some of which were returned to the Dons." Oa the 4th, the British sent out a storming party, which captured the works in front of the advanced redoubt, burning them sad spiking six pieces of cannon. The enemy's loss was great, while the storming party had only two killed and two wound-. ed. The storming party consisted of "provincials" (American loyall4s—tories) and the " Waldeck," a body of German troops in British pay. A lieu tenant of the Irish Brigade was brought, In wounded, and dying 'the next day, was buried with the honors of war, Perhaps, at this late day, it is not a matter of i nterest to, say that his name was O'Dunn. On the sth there-was a brisk firing from both eider. The enemy fired 85 shotand 43 shells. The journal adds: We had nobody hurt." This phrase has kept its place, in our vernacular. The oth was another lively day on the part of the enemy, who fired 503 shot 'and 200 - Shells. This sre was continued with great vigor, and damaged the ad vanced redoubt greatly. The 7th of May, opened inanapiciouidy, a shell from the enemy bursting among some fuses, - loose powder and shells. But the fort was encouraged by a deserter, who brought word that the Spanish and French commanders had quarreled, the latter deolering that if the British dill not surrender the next day he would withdraw. A party of Indians, too, returned whh ten scalps." Then follows-May Bth which was the decisive day. At 9A. hi. a shell from the enemy's bat. tery entered the door of the magazine at the ad vanced redoubt,tis the men were receiving powder. The magazine exploded, killing forty British sea men and forty-five Pennsylvania loyalists, besides wounding many others. This was a signal for an advance of the enemy in force At 10 o clock they captured the advanced redoubt, and commenced a severe sre on the centre redoubt. The loss on the British aide was now large.. At 2 P. M. a &sof truce was hoisted from Fort George, and a °arm latiOn offered. The next 'day was spent settling terms - , and on the 10th of May, at 5 P. M., the British surrendered to the arms of Spain. Spanish grenadiers took possession of the lines and of Port . George, and French chasseurs of the centre redoubt. -They then went to Bavans,',and thence to New York, where they arrived July 12th, when the dif ferent corps were assigned to erintormieuts on Long Island.. An English statement of this affair published in 1700, says the enemy's forces at this siege consisted of eleven Spadeb and four Preach ahipeof the line, two frigates,of thirtyeix guns, three sloops of war, 'mid a number of gunboats and, otherarmed vessels. They bad 7;000 Spanish and 300 French troops, besides iuncrloans and Indians. The same account sets down the British garrison, including the whole force, naval and military, regulars and 'volunteers, at not exceeding 1,000. The incidents, recorded in this journal show how Ifttle repugnance there was at the employment of 'lndians as alike, and - how - perfectly et liberty they were to'indulge their penchant ,for scalping. Tins feature distinguishes our present' unhappy war fa .vorably to the morals of the present day.

Pennsylvania Regiments at the Army. In all this grand host now guarding the heart.of the nation, none may feel a greater pride than Pennsylvanians. In every division,in every brigade, her gallant sons are found, and, wherever found, they have reflected credit upon the noble old arab. of the Pedoral Union. That Keystone is yet in its place; and though traitors aro at work to under mine the arch, yet will the strong arms and the brave hearts of the Keystone's sons restore the mu tilated but not removed stones of that fair fabric. The commander,in-chief is a Pennsylvanian; and out of,the eight division. generals now in front of 'Washington, on Virginia soil, four of them—Nic- CAbL, PORTER; FRANKLIN, and HEINTZELMAN— are from the same State. The First Division, or that upon the north, com manded by Major General GEORUE A. Wenn!, is purely a Pennsylvania division, containing twelve regiments of infantry, one of rifles, (tlie Buektalls, who'so completely astonished the rebels at Dranes l'illPi) and, one' regiment of cavalry, besides three batteries of about eighteen guns. They are called the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, but might bo more properly styled the Pennsylvania Advance Corps. They have obtained the consistency of regulars, and are as cool under fire as the best regulars we have in the service. Their general is one of the best officers we have in the service, and the staff and regimental officers are likewise celebrated for their military capacity. The Reserve Corps is a credit to the State and to Governor Cumin, who so thoroughly equipped them In the next division, on the south, Gen. Wm. F. Ssurit's, are the Forty-seventh and Forty-ninth Pennsylvania, Cols. GOODE and InwlN. In Bon. F/T.l JOHN PORTER'S are the Sixty-second and Eighty-third Pennsylvania Infantry, Cols. and lifoLnarf, and Third and Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, Cots. AVERILL and CHORHAN. In Gen. Ennis Br,Eynxn's division are the Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth,, Seventy-third, Seventy-fourth, and Seventy-fifth Pennsylvania Is 7 antry, Cals. BUSH DECK, &EST, ROLM, SiIIitnELPFENNIR, and MAR• LEN. In Gen. Wet B. FRANKLIN'S division wo find the Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania, Col. GOSLINE. These are called the Pennsylvania Zonaves. In Gen. SAMUEL P. HEINTVELHAN'S division are the Sixty-first, Sixty-third, Eighty-eighth, Ninety ninth, and One-hundred-and-fifth Pennsylvania. Infantry, Cols. Itnetarv, 'Urns, Manes, SwEn nny,,and hlcKnionv. In the last, Gen. EDWIN V. &Winn, are the Fifty-third and Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania Infantry, Cate.

Every where the coat-of-arms of the land of Penn floats aide by side with the banner of the Union. Falls Chareh Village Go',puma's " Deserted Village " fitly describes this once neatand prosperous little town.

The venerable church, built in days long gone by, with bricks imported from Eng land, has suffered from the sacrilegious hands of both armies. 1113 interior bap been out up and carried away in small fragments as mementos, until pulpit and seats have nearly all disappeared. Many of the houses have been deserted, and few indications of comfort remain in the village, once the residence of families of affluence and distinction. Visit to Harper's Ferry A party, consisting of Vito President IlAnwr, Representatives BUELL, of New York, Tnow - BRIDGE, of Michigan, WALTON PIKE and RICE, of Maine, Colonels RoMason, BEALL, and Fumy nnowlt, of the army, and others, on Friday pro ceeded over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Harper's Ferry. At Frederick, Md., they ware joined by Dfej. Gen. BANKS and staff, together with a largo party of ladies, including Mrs. Gen. BANKS. The party proceeded without occident to Harper's Ferry, and, after spending some time in that local ity, returned to Frederick in the evening, where they were entertained in a handsome manner by General Bents. Speeches were made at several points by Vice President Ileatrom and others, and the party was loudly cheered at every stopping place., At Harper's Ferry a salute was fired by Major TYPIDALEI iE command of the U 411012 forces, which brought from their biding places the rebel pickets on the Virginia side, who appeared at seve ral points. The party returned to Washington at noon yesterday. The Transit of Mercury It is well known that the inferior planets, Mar•_ cury and Venus, occasionally pats directly between the earth and son, on which occasion they are seen as round black spots traversing the solar disc. This phenomenon is known among astronomers as .a transit of the planet. With Mercury these occur rences ere separated by Intervals. of seven and thirteen years, whine with Venus the intervals of time between such passages aro eight and ono hun dred and fire years and upwards. The last transit of Venus across the solar dice occurred in 1709, and another will take plaoe in 1874, the interval being one hundred and five years. The transits of the latter planet are of the highest astronomical im portance, furnishing, as they do, the best means of determining the solar parallax, whereby the exact distance of the earth from tbo sun is determined. The min's parallax is the most important element in the 'babel° solar system, being used in every calculation which extends to any of the cosmical bodies. 'The transits of Mercury likewise furnish a means of estimating the solar parallax, but only approxi mately. Their frequent occurrence takes from them the novelty which attaches to phenomena of rare occurrence ; nevertheless, they are always carefully observed by astronomers. • The transit of Mercury, which took place on the 11th of November last, was regarded by astrono mers with unusual interest. bl. Le Verricr, tho celebrated astronomer, whose name is memorably associated with the discovery of the planet Neptune, bas lately been engaged in some very elaborate re searches on the movement of Mercury, and among his results is the production of a now set of tables for the planets, and a deoisivo test of the accuracy of these new tables would be afforded by the transit of the planet on the 11th of Novem ber. The anxious solicitude with which the great est astronomer awaited the event, we happen to know from,a letter of his to an American astrono mer, written only a week prior to the occurrence, wherein 'he referred to the transit and the discre 'wey of three minutes, in the time or the begin ning of the transit, between his now tables and the old tables of the planet, his tables making the time three minutes later. The Comptes Rendus, for the 25th of November, bee reached thiscountry, and we have the results. On the day of the transit, Lo Verrier and his asso ciates stationed themselves at the various tele scopes of the Imperial Obiervatory at Paris, to observe the transit, but, unfortunately, cloudein terfered and prevented their witnessing the phe nomena. To provide against this contingency, astronomers had been despatched to remote parts of France, to observe the transit, and It appears that they were similarly disappointed. In Italy and Qermany, however, the sky was propitious, and the• transit well observed. On making a proper reduction of the Italian and German ob servations to the Imperial Observatory, and taking an arithmetical mean of them, it was found that the tables of Le_Verrier differed from the mean by only one second in the time of the beginning of the transit, and that the old tables of the planet were in error nearly three minutes. - Thus the movements of a planet, so ranch re• garded by the ancient Egyptians, the astronomical Ifindoos, and actually worshipped by the Aseditee in Western Arabia, become, after twenty-live cen turies' observation and study, completely known, and capable of the moat exact calculation. By this great achievement has this highly gifted and already renowned astronomer become entitled to new homage and gratitude from the intellectual world.—Boston Courser. Curtonttes of the Sunbeam Simple as the white ray of the itin'a light ap pears, it is found, on close observation, to be com posed of at least three distinct elements, and to possess many curious and 'Wonderful properties. The three elements of which wo speak, are light, heat, and chemical force; and they may be sepa rated from each other by means of a simple instru ment. Darken a room, and bore a small hole through one of the window-shutters, so as to admit a ray of light from the sun. Place a triangular prism of glass horizontally across the ray, with one edge down, so that the light may pass through it. The ray will be bent upward, and will strike the wall at a higher point than it did before the prism •was interposed. It will not, however, all be bent 'equally, so as to make the round spot it did before, but will form an elongated image of seven bril liant and most delicate colors, which shade into each other, and fade away indefinitely at the ends of the image. The lowest of these colors, when the prim is placed as directed, is always red; end the others, in the order as we ascend, are orange, yellow ! green, blue, indigo, and Suspend a delicate thermometer, in each of the colored rays, and It will be found that the violet ray imparts the least heat, and that the heat in creases as we pass down through the several colors. If we continue our observations, with the ther mometer down beyond the red ray, we Ond a point where no light falls, where the thermometer re ceives more heat than it'does within the light, The rays of light are separated by_the prism from those Of heat. , Another curious fact which has been observed also proves that the light and heat of the sun beam are distinct elements. If we suspend a ther mometer in the vicinity of a close stove, which emits heat but not light, the heat radiating from the stove will raise the mercury in the thermome ter. But if wo interpose a . plate of transparent glass, none of these dark rays of heat can pass through it ; it is entirely opaque to them. If we now increase the temperature of the stove until it becomes red hot, the rays of heat begin to pad through the glass and affect the thermometer ; and if we raise the temperature to a white heat, the rays pass freely through the glass. If we vary the experiment, and use crystals of rook salt, in stead' of glass, we find that the dark rays of heat yam out as freely through the salt as do those which ere accompanied with light. Sowed the alchemists discovered, centuries ago, that the chloride of silver, which is as white as snow, turns black on exposure to tho light; and more recently it has been found that a large num ber of bodies are thus atfeetiid by light. It is this power of light which is used in the daguerreotype and 'photograph process. By more than ono menus. the force of this element can be measured in the several parts of the spectrum, and it is found to be Meat powerful in the violet ray, and to extend, en tirely beyond the light. It is not visible to the eye ; and it is therefore neither light nor heat, It is easy, after thus dividing the sun-beam, to re combine its parte, when the white ray will produce the several abets of light, of heat, and of chemical change, which are . produced separately by its seve ral elements.—Sclentific American. 'TRW PRESS. ---PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7,; 1862. THE CITY. ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS ON SECOND PAGE EFITOT On THE WAR UPON BIBLE PUBLICA- TroNs.—ln time of war or epidemic the circulation of the Scriptures never fails to increase enormously. The reason for this fact is so obvious that it need net be specified. The American Bible Society, during the last eight months, has issued 803,000 Bibles and Testaments, being 321,000 of an increase over the like period for the preceding year. The average issue per working day is about 4000 vo lumes, or seven volumes a minute. Since t he cons. monoement of the war Oror half a Million have been supplied to the volunteers. The Philadelphia Bible Society confines its ope rations to the city, and supplies all our public insti tutions, hotels, and shipping with Bibles or Testa- ments. Tho United States vessels, before leaving port, are visited by their oolporteur, and all that is wanted in that way is furnished. After supplying Abe home demand, they give what they can to the State Society, for destitute parts of this and other countries. The State organization, known as the Penrisylvaniaßible Society, has, directly or through its numerous branches, furnished 00,000 Testaments gratuitously to the troops, including 21,000 supplied to troops leaving this city, through its auxiliary, the Philadelphia Society. The Pennsylvania Bible Society has a system of local auxiliaries, extending through the State, by which they distribute Bibles judiciously, and to the extent of means furnished them. About thirty years ago they gave 5111,000 to send Bibles to the Sandwich Islands, and continue to give largo sums for aiding distribution in fereign lands. The Bible House, at Seventh and Walnutstreets, was bulkier them seven years ago by same citizens of Philadel phia, and here, different Bible associations meet and all matters connected with Bible operations are attended to ; whilst the depository attached is the distributing reservoir for the State. Turning to the operations previous to the out break of the war, we find scarcely less activity and zeal, not only in our city, State, and nation, but throughout the entire globe. The Bible societies of Europe, Asia, and America, since the organization of the first one, in 1804, have issued over sixty seven millions of copies in one hundred and sixty langiinges, and comprising one hundred and ninety versions; of these, one hundred and forty aro translations never before printed. Tho number of versions now in real use, anti more or less circulating, is one hundred and forty-seven. It is impossible to arrive at a correct estimate of the millions upon millions issued from other sources ; but when it is remembered that the Bible is, and always has been, the leading book with the publisher and tradesman, the aggregate number must bo enor mous; and it is incomprehensible that there should be one person whose curiosity, if nothing hotter, would not prompt him to examine, with. care, a book that enlists such remarkable zeal for its circu lation, in the midst of the most enlightened commu nities of the world. Over thirtyfour millions of dollars .havo been disbursed by the two Bible Societies of England and the United States, a large proportion of which was paid for translations in other languages, and in countries where there was no written language the laborious and tedious work of making one was performed solely that they might know the contents of this ono groat book. TUE FIRST Goon SNOW STORM.—The snow which commenced to fall on Sunday night continued its visitations at intervals during yesterday. The pavements and housetops were draped in white, and there was a sufficient quantity of snow upon the frozen around to afford - good sleighing. Tho lovers of this description of locomotion were not slow to take advantage of the unusual visitor, and' the streets were soon lousiest with the merry, jingling sleigh-bells. The flakes continued to 'de scend Mr into the forenoon, and the boys enjoyed rare sport in pelting each other with snow-balls. The snow was a godsend to another class of boys, for many youngsters who had no time nor heart for snow-balling were afforded an opportunity of earn ing a few sixpences by shoveling the wintry en cumbrances from the sidewalks. The city rail ways were much incommoded early in the day; bait the salt cars were put in use, and the snow upon the rails was soon melted, to the unutterable chagrin of livery-stablo keepers: The :now, which bad been welcomed by adult sleighers and juvenile /dodders, was death to the hopes of the skaters, as it completely spoiled, for • the present, the fine skating upon the Schuylkill. During Saturday ; thousands of skaters, of both sexes, enjoyed themselves upon the ice. On Sun day the crowd was again very large, audit the afternoon not only was the ice covered with skaters and sliders, but the hill-sides above the dam at Fairmount swarmed with persons who were gazing upon the animated scene presented upon the frozen surface of the river. Among the exciting inci dents of the afternoon was the plunging of a man into an air-hole. Another man, who ran to his as sistance, fell upon the ice, and slid into tho hole. Both were speedily rescued, with no more serious damage than a thorough ducking and chilling. ICE ON THE DELAWARE--Yesterday the river Delaware was completely choked up with largo cakes of floating ico. During the flood-tide on Sunday night the ice was packed close together, and for several hours it was immovable. After the tido commenced to run down, yesterday morning, about 7 o'clock, nearly en hour elapsed before the ice be came separated and again commenced to move. The surface of the river presented a desolate look yesterday, with huge Bolds of snow-covered ice floating slowly along and no signs of life except an occasional tug or ferry boat struggling desperately through the ice barrier. The ferry boats which ply between the city and Camden took long resting spells between their trips, much time being con sumed in the passage from point to point, to the in • convenience of school children and others. The first trip made by the Camden ferry boat took nearly two hours. The boat at times became perfectly tightened in the ice, and the powerful machinery was unable to _ram_ _ In the afternoon the tripe, although slow and tedious, were made with more re gularity. The floating ice did considerable damage to the differentboats and their machinery. The City Ice Boat has not yet been put in condition for the performance of her legitimate duty since her re cent hard service upon the Potomac. There are several vessels at the Delaware Breakwater which are bound up ; their chances of getting into port at a very early period are not very great at present. The temporary shutting up of the navigation has had the effect of making Delaware avenue very dull, and the longshore men aro thrown almost entirely out of employment. Owing to the ice in the river and the inclemency of the weather, the work at our navy yard was considerably interfered with. A number of the mechanics had to suspend opera tions in consequence thereof. The dry docks have been hauled in for protection, and no vessels will be placed on them during the cold 'weather. MILITARY FUNERALS.—The funeral Of Chas. Keller, a member of Company B, First California Regiment, who died at Poolesville, Md., took place yesterday afternoon, from the residence of his Mother, Fifth street, below Master. A portion of Col. Frisbmuth's regiment was present. Thomas R. Birch, first lieutenant of Company 11, Ninety-ninth Regiment P. V., will he buried to morrow morning, from his father's residence, No. 1707 Vino street. The lieutenant died on Friday last at Alexandria, Va. He was a graduate of the High School, and universally esteemed by a large eirele of friends. , ENTIRELY UNCALLED Fon.--Judging from the number of ash barrels and boxes that are stand ing along the curbs in some parts of the Second ward, wo may infer that ashes arc at a discount. Tho boxes have become plethoric since the ash man's last visit, much to the chagrin and inconve nience of the housekeepers in that section. It is evident- that if the ash-men have made now rules with the new year they work badly, and a change from the present condition of things will bo highly appreciated by numerous residents in the Second ward. Prorun.vs Ov Rusn's CAMC.—We have bemi shown, by a gentleman, who bee already produced several fine sketches of Col. Rush's camp, two oil paintings, illustrating the arrival of the regiment at Washington. One represents the arrival by day light, December 13, and the other gives them at their camp fires at night, at the same station, they having been delayed there by tho non-arrival of their horses.
