The Reconnoissance Towards Big Bethel A Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New York Herald, writing under date of January 5, says: The very name of "Big Bethel," rinse the co ta p d'etat of General Pierce, seems to have been a ter ror to our troops, and in fact • exaggerated reports as to the strength and force of the rebels at that point, seemed to warrant the anxiety of our ', ldters in advancing on that post. An advance on Bethel bas long since been in contemplation, and finally Gen. IV ool' entrusted Acting Brigadier Gen. Blex Weber with the important mission of making a re. connoiesance (in force) towards the supposed strong hold of the rebels An oder to this effect was issued, and on Friday Gen. Weber, in commend of six comp nice of the Twentieth Regiment New York Volunteers, Lieut. Col. Francis Weiss, 'commanding; the Union Coast. Guard, Col. D. W. Wardrop ; and three companies of the Eleventh Regiment Pennsylvania cavalry, in command of Lieut. Col. Samuel Perkins Spear, late of Second United Slates Dragoon'', started from Camp Handlion, en route for Big Bethel. During last week the bridge over Hampton crook bad been repaired, in order to make it safe for ca valry to pass over, The cavalry formed the ad vance, and the cortege proceeded in that way until about two miles beyond Little Bethel, when Gen. Weber balled his command to rest, He then in structed Col. Spear to advance-cautiously . with the horse ttoops, drive in the pickets, and, in case hell was attacked by cavalry, to make a stand; but if: infantry or artillery should oppose his advance, Col. Spear was to return in ‘t double quick," and the infantry reserve would bo pushed forward. Colonel Spear carried out his instructions, and he had scarcely advanced one mile from where the reserve was posted before he eame on the rebel pickets, whom ho drove in. Pushing on further, be struck upon the 'second pickets, numbering about sixty mounted men, who scampered off, with all haste, towards Yorktown. The horses of Col. Spear's, command being weary from the long march; the Colonel did not deem it expedient to pursue the flying enemy further than Big,Bethel. Coming up to this Repotted stronghold, numbers of the cavalry leaped their horses over the trenches of the fortifications, which they found lobs constructed of earth, and built with four emhrtsures. No ord nance, however, was mounted. after inspecting the 'teethe more closely, and making drawings of the same in which Lieutenant Colonel Weiss partici p .ated, the cavalry returned,havingetecomplished all 'bat was desired of them.

By this reconnoissance two things have been de monstrated. Tho first is, that the enemy has all his available force concentrated at Yorktown, which isreported to amount to about fifty thousand troops. The second is, that the Big Bethel en trenchments never mounted more than four guns,- and the fact is fully demonstrated that at the ill fated engagement under Gen. Pierce the battery might have been carved had there been a proper . commander to direct tile operations of our forces.

Have you ever considered how wonderful a thing the seed of a plant is? It lithe Miracle of miracles. God said, "Lot there be plants yield. ing seed ;" and it is further added, " eaoh one after his kind." The great naturalist, Caviar, thought that - the germs of all past, present, and future generations of seed were contained, one within the other, as if packed in a succession of boxes. Other /earned men have explained this mystery in adiffereee way. But what signify all their_exeh"lat'Qns ? Let them explain it as they-0 4 lli tue wonder remains the same, and 3 sa.--must look upon the re rroduetiou of the seecras a continual miracle. . . Is there upon earth a machine, is there a palace, is there even a city, which contains so much that is wonderful as is enclosed in a single little seed— one grain of corn, ono little brown apple•seed, one small seed of a tree, picked up, perhaps, by a sparrow for her little ones, the smallest of a poppy or a bluc•bell, or even one of the Seeds that are so small that they float about in the air invisible to our eyes? Ah there is a world of marvel Enid brilliant beauties hidden in each of these tiny seeds. Consider their immense number, the per fect separation of the different kinds, their power Of life and resurrection, and their wonderful fruit fulness. Consider first their number. About a hundred and fifty years ago, the celebrated Linntous, who has been called the father of botany," reokoned about 0.000 different kinds of plants; and ho then thought that the whole number existing could not much exceed 10,000. - But a hundred years after him, M. de Candolle, of Geneva, described 40.000 kinds of plants, and be supposed it possible that the number might even amount to 100,000. Well, lot me ask you, Have these 100,000 kinds of plants ever failed to bear the right seed ? Have they ever deceived us? Has a seed of wheat ever yielded barley, or a seed of a poppy grown up into a sunflower? Has a sycamore tree ever sprung from an acorn, or a beech tree from a chest nut? A little bird may carry away the small seed of a sycamore in its beak to feed its nestlings, and on the way may drop it on the ground. The tiny seed rear spring up and grow where it fell, un noticed, and sixty years alter it may become a magnificent tree, under which the flocks of the 'Valley and their shepherds may rest in the shade. Consider next the wonderful power of life and resurrection bestowed on the seeds of plants, so that they may be preserved from year to year, and oven from century to century. Let a child put a few seeds in a drawer and shut them up, and sixty years afterwards, when his hair is white and his steps tottering, let him take one of these seeds and sow it in the ground, and Boon after he will see it spring up into new life, and become a young, fresh, and beautiful plant. Jouaunet relates that in the year 1835, seve ral old Celtic tombs were discovered. near Bergerac. Under the head of each of the dead bodies Chore was found a small square stone or brick, with a hole in it, containing a tew seeds, which had been placed there beside the dead by the heathen friends, who bad buried them, perhaps 1,000 or 1,700 years be fore These seeds were carefully sowed by those who found them. What was seen to spring from the dust of the dead? Beautiful Hun-flowers, blue corn flowers, and clover, bearing blossoms as bright and sweet es those which are woven into wreathe by the merry children now playing in our fields. Some years ago, a vase, hermetically sealed, was found in a mummy-pit in Egypt, by the English trevellor, Wilkinson, who sent it to the British Mu seum. The librarian there, having unfortunately broken it, discovered in it a few grains of wheat and oao or two peas, old, wrinkled, and as hard as atone. The peso were planted carefully under glass on the fourth of June, 1804, and at the end of thirty days these seeds were aeon to spring up into new life. They had, been buried probably about 3,000 years ago, perhaps in the time of, Moses, and bad slept all that long time, apparently dead, yet still living in the dust of the tomb.— Gausses,.

REUNION OF THE OLD SOLDIERS OP 1812 The anniversary of the battle of Now Orleans was celebrated by a meeting of defenders of our country, in the war of 1812, in Independence Ilan, yesterday morning._ Hon. Joel B. Sutherland, the ,president of the association, having died since last meeting, the *hair was, occupied by Captain W. T. Elder, vice president. Alderman Peter Hay, chairman of the committee appointed to prepare resolutions of respect to the memory of the late president of the association, Hon. Joel B. Sutherland, reported the following: Since the annual meeting of this association in July last, ,he angel of death has been thinning our villa with fearful rapidity. A larger number of our members have fallen before his irresistible stroke than at any equal period since our first or ganization. Several of them were men of mark in social, civil, and political life. Among the number was the lion. Joel B. Sutherland, our first presi dent ; he continued to hold that position until his decease. Ile was also the president of the National Convention of the Soldiers of the War of 1812, held at Washington in 1855, and devoted all the ener gies of his active mind, his great legislative tact, and extended experience, to procure the pas sage, by Congress, Of the bounty land act, and other measures for the relief of the soldiers and sailors engaged in the second War of Independence. His purse:was always open, as hundreds can testify, to aid the poor and deserving soldier, his widow and children. As a public man, who occupied, for many years, important civil offi ces; as a citizen in social life, and as the head of a family, his character is too well known in this com munity to need any eulogium from us. Having reached the ripe age of three score years and ton, lie has passed into another stage of existence. Un der these circumstances, the members of this asso ciation would do injustice to the memory of their departed friend and brother, as welt as to their own feelings, wore-they not to pay a passing tribute to his memory. ' Resolved, That While we bow in humble submis sion to the will of hint who does all things well, we mourn the loss of a friend with whom we have been so long, and sense of us 6'o intimately, 'connected, and around whose memory cluster so many pleasant associations. We tender our sincere condolence to his bereaved family for their irreparable loss, and trust that their sorrow may be soothed by the kind voice of Him who tempers the-wind to the shorn lamb. Resolved, That the members of this assoeiation will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That the several associations of sol diers of the war of 1812, throughout the Union, be requested to pay like respect to the memory of the deceased. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, pro. perly attested, be forwarded to the family of our deceased president. The resolutionsivere unanimously adopted. Capt. Emerick then spoke of the death of Colonel John G. Watmough, another valuable member of the association, and further said that the old soldiers A were going off very rapidly. Three members bad been lost in the last two days, and. since July last more have died than during the last ten years. Colonel C. G. Childs, in the absence of any reso lutions, proposed that the condolence of this assu. ciatien be convoyed to the family of Colonel Wet mough, and that the paper rend by Captain Eme rick be entered upon tho minutes.

The propositions of Col.

M-131 , -11_11Q. in the Delaware, between rano anu Lomoar streets. She was loading for Laguayra, and a large assorted cargo was put on board. The work was completed on Tuesday evening, and the ship was packed with goods from her kelson to her desk. She was to have sailed at ten o'clock yesterday morning, and everything was in readiness for her departure. Early in the morning, it was discovered that the ebip was settling fast, and, upon examina tion, it was found that there was seven feet of water in her hold. As soon as possible, a strong gang of stevedores were got to work to discharge the cargo, and the services of the steam firmengthes of the Hope and Southwark Hose companies were procured to pump out the water. Upon opening the batches, the lower hold was found to be nearly flooded. The auction hose of the .steamer was let down into the water through the main hatch, and the powerful machines soon made a decided impression upon the water. While the pumping was going on at the mainhatoh the stevedores were at work at the forward and after hatches, getting out tho cargo. A large quantity of flour and grain in bar rels has been removed from between decks, in good condition. The principal items in the cargo are as follows : 2.000 barrels of flour: 0,000 bushels of grain, 4,000 of which are in bags, and 2,000 in barrels, 1,000 boxes of herring, 1,500 kegs of lard, 1,000 boxes of soap, 1,000 kegs of butter, 105 hogsheads of coal, and 500 bundles of shooks. The flour was between decks, and thus far out of the reach of tho water. It will probably all be got out without da mage. The coal, soap, fish, lard, and butter, and about three thousand bushels of the grain, wore in the lower hold. This portion of the cargo will suffer, sovere damage, and the probability is, that the grain, fish, and soap will be almost entirely ruined. The cause of tho disaster is unknown, and there era many surmises as to the origin of the leak. Boole suppose that the vessel was cut through by the ice, while others think, from the extent of the leak, that the ship had settled upon some object lying at the bottom of the dock, on the going down of the tide, and thus stove a hole in her bottom. when the fact of the existence of the leak was fast discovered the tide was up. It was feared that as the tide went down her bow would rest upon the bottom, and that as the stern settled the water in her would pour aft, take down the ship, and per haps cause her to slide out into deep water, as in the case of the ship John Trucks, which sunk at Arch-street wharf last winter. To prevent this ca tastrophe, two powerful chain cables were passed from her bow to the shore, where they were secured. Tbo Esther is a fine largo ship. She was laid up in this port for several months, and she was re cently chartered by Messrs. John Dallett b Son, who loaded her for Laguayra. Tho loss upon the cargo will be fully covered by insurance. liad the vessel left her dock before the discovery of the leak she would almost inevitably have sunk. At dusk last evening the ship had been pumped dry by means of the steam engines, and the water will be kept down by the ship's pumps until her cargo is secured. The cargo will at once be trans ferred to the bark Reindeer, which was hauled in along side the pier last night. It is believed that the sinking of the Esther resulted from her stern being out by the heavy masses of lee which pressed against her during the ebb tide of Tuesday night. NAr.tr, MArrnns.—The new steamship .axon, 1,150 tone burthen, built in this oily by John W. Lynn, for the Philadelphia and Boston line, is now on tho berth at Pine-street wharf, and will sail for Boston on tho 11th instant. . . Owing to the recent snap of cold weather, matters at the navy yard have become rather dull, al though a largo force of men are still employed, and a vast amount of work performed. The sloop•of war Hartford, which is now lying at the pier formerly occupied by the Brooklyn, is nearly ready for sea. Yesterday her stores were being placed on board, and she will probably sail this week. The following officers have reported for duty on this vessel : Commander, Richard Wain right; lieutenant, Albert Kuntz ; chief engineer, James B. Kimball; master, Edward A. Walker; acting master, Daniel S. Murphy ; acting midship man, John IL Reed; assistant surgeon, Joseph Bugg; second assistant engineers, Edward R. Luleb, F. A.

Allen:Lewis Lock; boatswain, James Walker; acting carpenter, Jas. If. Conley. The Hartford is of the same class as the Brooklyn:, but she is not considered us well modelled. A guard of marines for the Hartford have MEG arrived, from the Flushing-avonno Bar reeks, near New York. The second monster mortar hes been placed upon the carriage on board of one of the bomb beats, the other having bees placed in position a few days ago. The stores are being put upon both of these vessels, and, as the Government is understood to desire their services as soon as possible, they will soon be put into commission. • The following offi cers bstve reported for the bomb-boat George Man glum: Acting master commander, John Collins, Jr.; acting master's mates, S. O'Brien, J. M. Richards, Win. Dade, and John E. Jones. The following named have also reported them selves for the bomb boat Adolph, lingel : Acting master's mates, Peter Decker. .FrankHavis, Silas P. Palter; surgeon steward. Alfred Waitler. The side-wheel steamerlllits nei will be ready for sea in a few weeks. 'She is still lying at the foot of Reed-street wharf. Hero officers, as far 1 L 9 re ported, are: Lieutenant Commanding, A. D Har rell ; acting masters, William N. Welles,William M. Meson, Milford Rodgers; first assistant engineer, William J Lowden ; assistant surgeon, David Kin dleburger ; acting master's mates, John Quinedo, William 11, Harrison and John Lear. The launch of the sloop -of-war Junzata will take plane as soon as the river is free from ice. The keel for the sloop-of-war iliononganda will be laid in a few days.

In the court below it was hold that the col lateral inheritance tax should be paid by the do. ViECCS of the real estate; that the commissions charged by Messrs. Price & Townsend, the amount being agreed by the parties to be a proper one, should also be paid by the devisees of the real estate. A settlement was had between the parties on the basis of thii decision, on the 12th day of February, 1861. On the 2d day of Marsh a certificate to the Supremo Court was taken by plaintiffs, and the ease was argued on this motion to quash the writ of error, as the, plaintiffs had elected to settle all their claims in this suit agreeably to the terms of the de cree, and there is full satisfaction of the final judg ment. There cannot be two final decrees in the same cause, and if the sum coming to the plaintiffs by the judgment of the Court at Nisi Prins was loss than they conceived to be duo them, they should have taken their appellate proceedings without ac cepting the payment and satisfaction, agreeably to the decree of the court.

Error to the District Court. - - • QUARTER SESSIONS—Judge Allison.—Yes torday morning, Mr. Gowen, counsel fer Mr. Ewing, filed a petition to strike out certain of the specifications in the petition filed on behalf of Mr. Stevenson in the case involving the sheriff's po sition. Two writs of habeas corpus, to secure the dis charge of soldiers, were heard. In one, a boy named Andrews, fifteen years of age, had enlisted in Colonel Gregory's regiment. The minority of tire soldier woo established by the mother, who re sides in Baltimore, and who sent her son to Phila./ delphia on a visit, during which time he enlisted. The court ordered the boy to be discharged. The officer of the company stated to the court that the bey had cost the Government about nine dollars, and desired to know if that must not be paid back. Judge Allison replied that es the enlistment was illegal, there could be uo charge. The officers should understand that they had no right to accept a minor when under eighteen years of age ; and where the proposed soldier was over eighteen, but under twenty-ono years of age, they they had no authority to enlist them, except upon the written oorsent of the parent. Winter Birds Ono of the prettiest objects a winter landscape affords is seen in the birds that, singly or in flocks, flit about our houses, fields, orchards, and gardens, sometimes lighting on trees or bushes near the door, sometimes even fluttering against the win dows, as if envious to witness the ways of human domestic life, or desirous of sharing the warmth and comfort within. ,No other than a human cry for shelter and protection touches the benevolent, sympathetic heart with a more piteous, appealing sound, than to hear one of these " wee, helpless things," come beating against tho window-pane, to Which the cheerful light within has attracted it, and from which any movement of welcome will send it frightened away. Winter birds excite our interest and curiosity in many respects. First, their extreme hardiness, so superior to that of other birds that they find sun nier in our season of frost and snow, is sufficient to collforth our wonder and admiration. To what their great power of resisting cold is due—by what means they are enabled to live in a temperature that wouldprove fatal to tenderer birds—whether on the approach of spring they seek a Rote northern latitude—what they find to oat when the ground is frozen and perhaps covered deep with snow— when they fold their wings at the coming of the bleak, wintry night, when the leafless trees can af ford no shelter—the popular superstition that tho appearance of flocks of snow-birds, so-called, indi cates a speedy fall of snow, while brown birds aro held to be sure precursors of rain—these and other considerations tend to invest them with a peculiar and romantic interest. We are accustomed to think and speak of winter as a season made desolate by the absence of bright flowers, green leaves, singing birds, and babbling brooks; and to perhaps most of us the coming and going of the robin, the the oriole, the bobolink, and other summer birds, seem alone worthy of attention ; the habits and movements of the winter king, the chick-a•dee, and the whole class of hardy, feathered songsters passing nearly or quite unnoticed. Indeed, we easily and natural ly associate birds with summer; birds and winter are Scarcely thought of together. The difference between summer and winter birds with respect to their gentleness and familiari ty with man, almost warrants us in distinguishing the former as tame or domestic, the latter as wild birds. Those hover about our dwellings, seem to invite our acquaintance and sing for our satisfaction. They pick and eat our berries, help us destroy noxious insects, build their nests hardly outside our houses, almost taking materials out of our hands to put into them, and in various ways signify their desire for human companionship. These, on the contrary, though they not altogether shun the abodes of men, manifest the most provoking shyness in all their movements. They pay us only flying visits, and any attempt at coaxing frightens them into instant departure. The singing seems nnintended for our ears.
