Many persons have been badly frozen in Louisville within the past few days. The Legislature of Delaware will con— vene at Dom to-morrow the 12th Wet. The Harrisburg Railroad Company have declared a semiannual dividend of three and half per cent. The WiNsLow case, involving some— thing over $1,000,000, is on trial at Bridge- port, Conn. A loyal league is defined to be the dis tance between an Abolitionist and any battlefield. It may sound like a paradox, yet the breaking of both wings of an army is a pretty sure way to make it fly. Bishop CLARK got a five hundred dol lar marriage fee at Providence, R. 1., on Christmas. A man out West is so stingy that he holds his breath when the tailor takes his measure, so lhat it will take less cloth. It is asserted positively that the Com— mittee of Ways and Means will not re— commend a heavy increase of the tax on whisky. The small-pox is prevailing to an alarm lag extent at Horicon, Wisconsin. Places of business have been closed, and great excitement prevails. Dx•Governor HICKS has been elected United States Senator to fill the unexpired term of S euator PRVIRCIR, to which he was appointed, at the time. A.

At St. Augustine, Florida, the peach trees are in blossom, garden flowers are in full bloom, and bouquets grace the tables of the officers having command al that point.

The Loyal League of Nashville express a preference for Mr. LINCOLN as the Republican Presidentia 1 candidate for 1884, and ANDY JOHNSON for Vice Presi- dent. NEW CURE,—The doctors are recom mending whisky, both as a cure and pre ventive of diptheria. The remedy is pop. ular, and the immense strides that medi• cal science is making in the art of pre serving life, are very generally admired. An attache of the 'French Embassy in London is at present in St. Louis, for the purpose, it is supposed, of investigating the practicability of supplying the French army in Mexico with commissary supplies by way of the Mississippi River. The St. Louis Republican learns that thousands of hogs were frozen to death Last 'Thursday night, in different places along the hoe of the North Missouri Rail. road. Many of them\were in pens, await lag shipment cn that rood. ,„ The New York papers are pressing the proposition of a removal of duty on coal, thus compelling, as they allege, such a re duction in the price of that most necessary article as to place it within the reach o the most moderate means The 20th Pennsylvania cavalry, Colonel WYMCOOP, will be mustered out of service at Harrisburg. About one-half of the 'regiment has re—enlisted for three years, and will be discharged on twenty dap!' furlough. The regiment has been in set' vice in West Virginia, under Gen. KELLY. The annual meeting of the Pittsburgh Railroad Company, for the purpose of electing Directors and general officers for the ensuing year, convened at the Corn. pany's office in Cleveland on Wednesday. The President's Report, which was read upon the occasion, made a flattering ex. hibit. • A book has be en published in England, called "The Cruise of the Alabama." In it the confession is frankly made that she was manned by English sailors, as well as built and armed in England, and that many of the vessels destroyed were laden with grain, destined to supply the wants of Englishmen. Byithe constitution the Pres dent is in vested with "power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, excejet in cases of impeach ment.'d As in the annection in which this grant is made there are no restrictions, it is claimed that the power is unlimited. By this reasoning, he may attach to its ex• anise conditions amounting to a subver sion of the Constitution, and has indeed done eo. The absurdity of the claim is maiiifestois it simply asserts that the Con• stitntion provides within itself for its own destruction. The cold in the Western States has been moat intense for the last week. All of our western exchanges are filled with stories of frozen and frost-bitten humanity. At St. Paul's, Minnesota, for three days, the mercury ranged at ten degrees below zero and moat of the time it marked thirty degrees. At Fort Snelling it ran down to fifty degrees below zero. It has not been so low there but twice since the year 1821. At Milwaukie the temperature was thirty-five degrees below zero, and at the Haney hospital the mercury conjealed in • dicating a temperature of seventy-one de grees below the freezing point and thirty nine degrees below zero. In Philadelphia, on Wednesday, a case of some importance was decided in Judge eaDwallAwita's Court, The question in volved the liability of the city to pay the United States tax on the gas consum• ed in the public lamps. The Trustees of the Gas Works had paid under protest $28,742,02, the amonct of tax assessed against them on the gas used in the pub. lie lamps, and the present suit was insti tuted against them for the purpose of re• covering back the amount. The city claimed that it was not bound to pay a tax on gas manufactured and used for lighting public lamps under its corporate duty to light the public highways within its limits. The charge of the Court was rather ad. verse to the city, but the jury rendered a maw, adverse to the Government. A taotion was made for a now trial. ITEMS PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY.- The Grand Jury concluded its labors on Saturday afternoon. Before rising they handed in a presentment, which was rend in open court. They complain of the in ternal arrangements, management and police of the Court House, and assert that the rooms occupied by the Grand and Traverse Jurors are in a shameful con dition, without carpets, matting or suita ble desks and furniture badly cleaned, heated and. lighted, not only a disgrace to those intrusted with their care, but wholly unsuitable for the public business. Nor is any proper provision made for the ac• commodation of the District Attorney, and those who have business before the Grand Jury. The presentment also sets fourth that the Janitor of the Court House, employed at an annual salary of six hun dred dollars by the County Commission ers, is in the habit of demanding addition• al pay from the public officers of the county for his services, and he receives ' several hundred dollars in the way of ex tra fees. They recommend the selection of some person who will perform the duties of the office for the salary paid, without illegal perquisites. The Jury also visited the county jail, but made no statement as to its condition. They think the compensation of Grand and Traverse Jurors is wholly inadequate, and recom• mended that legislation be had to remedy the evil, SENTENCED TO THE PENITENTIARY.-A man named Lawrence Dougherty, who a few nights since. committed a cowardly and murderous assault on L. P. Stone, esq., a member of the bar, plead guilty in the Criminal Court on Saturday. and was sentenced to pay a fine of $lOO, and to undergo one year and two months in the Penitentiary. Mr. Stone it appears left his room on the night of the assault for some purpose or other, and immediately after opening the door, was struck by Dougherty in the face with a lump of cbal, and cut in a frightful manner. There was no provocation given for the assault, and what prompted the accused to the cowardly act is still a mystery. No palli ation can be offered for such an outrage. and we are glad to see that the Court punished it with the severity that it de served. IMPORTANT DECISION.—In a Mae before the United States Court of Claims, last woek, the petition of the claimant was presented without having affixed to it the stamp of fifty .cents required by the act approved July let, 1862, section 110, in the clause relating to legal documents, to be affixed to every writ or other original process by which any suit is commenced in any court of record either at law or in equity. The clerk asked to be advised r s to whether the said petition should be docketed. The court, after due consider ation, adjudged that no writ or other legal Process could issue in any case against the United States ; that as a government or sovereignty it is always present in its courts, and that no process is necessary and no stamp required. FAIR AT ST. JA?dES'.—The members C t St. James' (Catholic) church, of Temper anceville, held a Fair which commenced on Christmas Evo, and closed nu Saturday evening last, forthe benefit of theorphan asy lum connected with St. Paul's Chathedral. The Fair was open eight days and netted the handsome sum of $4113. This amount, considerilg the number of members con nected with the church in that neighbor hood, speaks well for their liberality. Much credit is due for this flattering re sult, to Miss Carroll, Miss Kennedy and Miss Casenburg, who presided over the principal tables, and to other ladies and gentlemen whose names we have not at hand, KNAPP'S BPPTESY RE ENLISTED.—OSP veteran troops are re enlisting in such numbers that it is confidently believed now that fully nine•tenthe of those now in the field will re enter the service. The one hundredth and eleventh and one bun • dred and forty seventh Pennsylvania regiments, belonging to Geary's division, have re enlisted, and Knapp's Battery belonging to the same command, has pursued the same course. The brave fellows are now, we believe, on their way home, and may soon be expected here. The Battery is a Pittsburgh institution, having been raised in this city, and we feel satisfied its members will meet with a truly warm and enthusiastic reception. RE ELECTED.—The Board of Directors of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad Company, chosen in Cleveland on Thurs day last, have re-elected Mr. Mc- Cullough President. He has managed the uffairs of the Company with marked abili ty, and to his efforts, aided by those of a faithful corps of subordinates, much of the success of the line may be attributed. Among the latter, Mr. Stewart, the effi cient freight agent of the road here, must, of course, be included. SOLDIERS IN WITERLINGL—On Saturday afternoon Brig. General Terry, with the First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Army Corps, arrived in Wheeling on their way to Johnston's Island. The 82d regi ment Pennsylvania volunteers are in this corps, a part of which was raised here, and wss orriginaMy commanded by Col. Williams, of this city. The Wheeling Register speaks in terms of high praise of Gen. Terry's brigade. GEN. NEGLZIPS WHEimusourTs.—A few dys since we notice a variety of statements as to the exact whereabouts of Gen.

Craft, eeq , presiding, and S. Von Bonhorst, see., acting as Secretary. A brief report was made, setting forth the fact that the road was in possession of the Western Trans portation Company, under lease, and that the latter organization had now a large force employed on the line, which was being pushed to completion with all possi• ble dispatch. The prospects of an early opening of the road were cheering, and everything promised well far the interests of all interested in the success of the en terprise. The report was accepted, after which the stockholders present went into an election for a Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing year. Thee was but little opposition to the old Board, which was elected, as follows: President —lsaac 'Jones ; Directors—R. F. Smyth, M. B. Brown, I. Schoomaker, William Phillips, M. K. Morehead, Joshua Rhodes, A.B. Nicholson, Nathaniel Holmes, W. 8. Haven, Jesse Edgington, N. B. Berger and John 8. Cosgrave. A FCRTHER OPENING OF THE PHILADEL PHIA AND ERIE RAILRORD.—The track &Ira Sheffield to Buena Vista, says the Erie Dispatch of tho 9th inst., is nearly completed and will in a few days be ready for the trains. It would have been com pleted ere this, but from the fact that the company have been unable to have the iron transported to Erie owing to a press of business upon other roads. The track will also soon be completed on the eastern or middle division as far west as St. Mary's in Elk county, leaving a break between the iron of only 22 miles, which is ready for the iron and will be completed early in the spring. Meanwhile it is the per pose of the company to put on fast trains and carry passengers through, the isthmus to be crossed in coaches. There is already considerable through travel and a perfec tion of arrangements will demonstrate that the proposed plan will be well sustained until the road is completed. A GALLANT PRINTER DEAD.—on Satur day we announced the death, at Chats. nooga, Tenn., on the 2d alt., of wounds received in the battle of Chickamauga, of corporal John Fitzgerald, of Co. E, 77th Regiment Penna., Volunteers, in the 20th year of his age. Young Fitzgerald was a Pitteburgher, and enlisted in Col. Sirweli's regiment, and participated in all the bard fought battles in which it has been engag ed. He learned the art of printing in the office of the Post, where he enjoyed the confidence of his employers and the res pent of his fellow workmen. In the army he was an unusual favorite among his companions, and his super iors beE r ample testimony to his undaunted courage. Thus has another soldier attested his love for his country with his life. Peace to his aehei. THE If ue:cei.

NEW Yortx, January 11.—The Herald of this morning, contains the following:— A large and enthusiastic meeting of pro• ducers, refiners and merchants, engaged in the Petroleum trade, was held on Fri day at No. 220 Pearl street. Mr. A. M. Cozzans was in the chair, and Mr. Thomas 8. Dakin acting as Secretary. There was a very full attendance of producers, re finers, and other prominent men interested in the trade, from the various localities where Petroleum is produced, refined and sold. The object of the meeting, as stated by the chairman, was to bear the report of a committee appointed at a previous meet ing, of which Judge Selden Marvin is Chairman, and to discuss the propriety and expediency of memorializing Congress to modify the tax proposed by the Com missioner of Internal Revenue on petro leum, believing it to be disastrous to the trade, and the future development of its production. It is further stated that this meeting was called for the purpose of ob taining the views of the trade of the coun try at large and not of any particular class of operators. Also; that a meeting had been held pursuant to a call of the 11. B. Petroleum Assciation of the city of New York, at which it was resolved to memo rialize Congress not to impose a tax on crude oi!, but to increase the present tax of ten to fifteen cents per gallon on re fiaed, ' for domestic consumption. The Committee's report, in the form of a memorial, was unanimously adopted, asking for a tax of five cents per gallon on Crude at the wells, and a drawback of the same amount on Refined oil exported. This tax. it would seem from statistics, would afford fully the amount of revenue asked for from Petroleum, at the same time be of less expense to collect, the most simple and least objections' to the export trade, betides being a greater pro tection to home manufacturers A committee consisting of Messrs. Marion, Baum, Downing, Cozzans, Wales, Burt ows, Mowbray and Finch was ap pointed to proceed to Washington, to confer with the Committee on Ways and Means, to urge the adoption of views set forth in the memorial. We learn from Havana that the Morning Star, which left New York on the 26th ult., was closely pursued on the next day, near Cape Hatteras, by a rebel cruiser of English build—a propeller, lying low in the water—carrying two masts, and an unusually high smoke stack. By putting on additional steam and sails the Morning Star outran her, however. WASHINGTON, January 11.—The follow ing official dispatch has been received at the headquarters of the army:—Cumber land, Maryland, January 10.--To Briga dier General Collura, Chief of Staff:— The following dispatch I have just receiv ed.

NEW YORK, January 11.—The Tribune's Washington dispatch says :—The Com mittee of Ways and Means still have nn• der consideration the increase of taxes under the excise law. One of the largest tobacconists of New York was before the Committee on Saturday, and a deputation of tobacco dealers will have a hearing with the Committee on Monday. The Department of Agriculture will make representations to the Committee upon the injurious effects of taxing tobacco in the leaf, claiming that such taxation will have a tendency to materially lessen the growth of tobacco. A delegation of dealers in petrolienm are alto to have.a hearing. It is not likely that any bill will be reported before the last of the week, and it is certain that no action will be had bycongress until the amendments to the enrollment act shall be disposed of. Major General Meade has gone to Pennsylvania on a short leave of absence. NEW Yoss, Janeary 11.—A dispatch to the New York Herald, states that Major Cole, who is in command of a battalion of Maryland cavalry in London county, was attacked at four o'clock yesterday morning by a party of rebels 400 strong under Mos by.

Oar loss was two killed and 11 wounded. Among the latter are Captain Vernon, who was - seriously wounded, and Lieutenant Reevers, slightly. Gen. Sulli• van has a force of cavalry now in . pursuit.

And, whereas, doubts have arisen re specting the construction of the said joint resolution in this particular: Now,thera fore, to remove all such doubts, be it en acted by the Senate and House of Repre sentative of the United States in Congress assembled, that said resolution shall rot be construed to create any other restric tion on the forfeiture of the i eal estate of an offender under said act, than is creat ed by the Constitution of the United States in the case of an attainder of tree son Mr. Wilkinson, of,Minnesota, introduced a resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for information in regard to the ar— rest and imprisonment of soldiers of the 9th Minnesota regiment, by the military authorities of Missouri, while engaged in protecting certain slaves from being car— ried away by their rebel masters. Mr. Lane, of Kansas, said that scores o soldiers bad been incarcerated in dun geons in Missouri for the simple offence of hurrahing for Jim Lane, and that the Col onel who imprisoned them was afterwards obliged to hurrah for Jim Lane. The subject introduced was now undergoing investigation by the Missouri authorities. The officers appointed by Gov. Gamble over , the cffenders, are sympathizers with the rebellion. Mr. Wilson's resolution to expel Mr. Davis was made the order of the day for Wednesday next at one o'clock.
