Return of Corwin.—Minister Cor win’s latest letters, coining down to Dec. 24 th, cofirms the intelligence that he will soon return home. He thinks that under hi* present instructions he shall be unable to advance our interests in Mexico. .The Mexicans are, he says, making great prep arations to resist the allies. gV'Tbe citizens of St. Louis have all been classified,, and their, names registered in four clasee&---tho6e who arc out and otrt for the Union, those who are for it with a'reservation, those who - are seces sionists, those who keep still and say noth ing.

Sherman’s IxAcnvm?—Com plaint being frequent of the inactivity of General Sherman at Port Boyal, it is but proper to say that he has had no orders to advance into the interior. The instruc tions of the government did not contem plate any movement of that kind, but amply for him to- land successfully, for tify himself and await reinforcement; so say latest Washington dispatches-. Fraud PmfisHABUS with Death.— The Committee on the conduct of the war have resolved to advise the immediate pas sage of a bill to punish with death any person who commits a fraud upon the Gov ernment, whereby a soldier is bodily in jured, as for instance in the sale of unsound proviamns. Also, to punish with impris onment and confiscation of all property and Government dues, all contractors who may in any way defraud the Government in the quality of goods sold, or services pre tended'to-be rendered to the Government. Military Teasspobxahon Expenses. —The transportation expenses charged to the State prior to November 30, 1861, for the conveyance of troops, etc., were $3OB,- , 189.55, from which there was a deduction of 57 2-10 per cent., or $114,873.59, leav iibg the sum of $193,255.96, which has Seen. paid. Among, those paid, the Penn ■jivaina* Sail Road Company’s account mi from- which they de ducted $67,785.26, leaving the sum of "$70j222;51); The Philadelphia and Bead ing comes next; from their account of $20,000 they made a deduction of $7,000. “ Stone Blockades.” The London Times has recently been very much ‘‘exorcised” by the announce ment that the National Government has sunk a few stupe in the harbor of Charles top, for the purpose of reducing the num ber qf channels necessary to be guarded by our blockading vessels. The London journal expressed the mild conviciien that— “People who would do an act like this would pluck the sun out of the heavens to pot their enemies in darkness, or dry up tike rivers that no grass might forever grow on the sod where they have been offended,” and adds, that such acts “ ought not tp be permitted by the guardians of the civilization of mankind.” “ Stone blockades” are among the “an tiquated precedents” which our British cotempocaries elakn to> have spent their force ■■when they were last practiced by the Engliitii government. A correspondent of the Hartford CouratU recalls the fact that tfce “guardians of the civilization .of man kind," in their war with Napoleon, set the following “«trange”and “ineffectual” ex ample?

In paying off the negroes' at work on the for tifications, we Understand that the most villainous abuses have been practiced.— The paymaster requires them to be iden tified by their overseers, and we are in formed that it has become a common prac tice for some of the overseers to charge these poor creatures ten per cent of their pay for their identification. Who are .those overseers, and who is responsible for their conduct? Some of them after the fashion of “Hagan’s John,” have been fished up from the back slums of the city, and there again, as appeared from the exhibition in I the Mayor’s court yesterday, of a brace of Hagan’s whipper’s in, have employed crea tures a little lower than themselves to hunt up free negroes in the city, giving them the alternative of paying black mail or of being carried to the jail and whipped. One of the most awful and revolting speci mens-of fee barbarity of these creatures was refilled to Mayor Mayo in our hear ing yesterday, where a free negro on the fortifications had' his bock actually cut into a mangle of bleeding flesh, the driver having given him, as we me told by a po liceman, five hundred and sixty-one lashes with the whip, until the poor victim sank exhausted under his fiendish rage.; In the name of God, is there no justice to be found in courts of human justice for in iquities like this? (7* The following deserved tribute to the liberality and justice shown by Mr. Speaker Hail, in the appointment of the standing ..committees of the Senate, we copy from the Harrisburg “Patriot & Union.” This compliment coming from a Democratic paper, speaks volumes in hi? praise. And indeed we may add that the impartiality displayed by our worthy Sen ator, and his disposition while in the chair, to rise .above mere party, and act solely fpr the public good, cannot be too highly praised. v The Standing Committees of -the Senate, as an nounced yesterday by the Speaker, and published in our report of toe proceedings, give the minority a fair representation ; and in this respect contrast favorably with those of the last session, when the i Democrats had really no chance of being heard in | either the Commute on Federal Relations or the | Judiciary Committee. True, the number of Don- j ocratic Senators is greater by four than it was last year, but considering the vast importance of the is sues then before the conntiy, it was unjust to the minority, representing, as U did, the views of a powerful political party, to stifle its voice entirely. Mr. Speaker Hall has shown much more liber ality in tliis particular than his predecessor. On the Committee on Federal Relations, the most important in a political point of view, he has placed Messrs. Clymer and Crawford, two leading and experienced Democratic Swators; on the Ju diciary Committee, Mr. Clymer; on the Commit tee on Banks, Mr. Mott; on the Committee on Claims, Messers Lamberton and Crawford, and so throughout the whole list we believe there is not a Committee which has not some representative of the minority npon it. This evidence of a disposi tion on the part of the Speaker to act with fairness is worthy of commendation. Stile Another Division feom Penn sylvania.—The Pennsylvanians in Wash ington are greatly pleased with the propo sition of Governor Curtin to the War De partment, that the eight regiments of in fantry and one of cavalry now in the State, should embark at Philadelphia for some destination South where they may have immediate and active service. That after placing in the field over one hun dred thousand men, more than any State in the Union, and arming and equipping them in a most perfect and creditable manner, the brave old Keystone should offer to do still more, indeed to. furnish— now that she lias filled her quota and all other States exhausted, at least’ for the present —an entire expedition, is a fact which must reflect the highest honor upon her loyal and patriotic people. The energy which Gbv. Curtin has personally exhibited from the beginning of the war, in the raising and equipment of | regiments, is the subject of universal com pliment. Should the proposed expedition be au thorized by the Government, there is no doubt but that it will prove as disastrous to the rebels as any that has been sent against them. When Pennsylvanians strike they make their blows felt. All honor to the gallant and patriotic old Commonwealth! Tebeible Tragedy. —On lie JBth ult.

Editobs After a long silence, allow me e mail space in the columns of your paper, to state td yottr numerous readers that Company A of the 110th Regiment still, hold* a place among the troops of old Pennsylvania add the otbet loVal States.. I shall merely sketch oar trip from Harrisburg (whence we started on last Thursday two weeks,) to this town, which we reached a couple of days ttg o. After bidding adieu to our friends—particu larly the ladies—*We Matted' for a long separation from our native State, and at daybreak on Friday morning Wc found ourselves in Hagerstown, Mdv We remained there that day, and then, having received marching; orders, we started about 10 o'clock next morning for Iluneoek, a distance of thirty miles. After marching some fifteen miles, we pitched our tents wit If the purpose of encamping for the night, but hardly had we driven our stakes when two dispatches—one treading" on the other's us to continue our march, as there was a fight going on at Bath, Va., about six miles from Hancock; that ottr troops were retreating towards the latter place, and-that we should come up instanter. We were apprised that the force of the rebels was 16,000, and that, the Pennsylvania 84th, under Col. Murray, and part of the Illinois 39th, together with two pieces of artilleiy and one company of cavalry was the amount of our strength, although the enemy con sidered our force to he 5,000. We immediately struck tents and started, on quick time, for Han cock, ns if our salvation depended upon onr reach , ing there before midnight, for our arms were there in readiness the moment we should arrive, and if the place fell into the bands of the ciiemy we woold lose our arms and be entirely defenceless and impotent. Before we reached onr destination we heard the boom and saw the flash of the can non, which told ns the town was really attacked, and as we neared the place we met women and | children, and even men, fleeing for safety, who informed us that the town was being shelled and would probably be burned before wc could reach it. But instead of discouraging us, the news only hod the effect of adding new vitality to our weary limbs, and urged ns to greater speed. As we neared the town, however, and when within abont two miles of it, the firing suddenly ceased and a bright light sprang up, which we supposed to be the town on tire, but which eventually proved to be some building on the opposite side of the river, which hod been fired by the rebels. Wc reached the town about 9J o’clock PI M. and found it to be still occupied by our -troops, and bat little dam aged by the bombs hurled into it. We quartered for the night in the churches, houses, and wherever we could find a canopy which might protect us from the weather. We slept soundly until the next doming (Sunday) which opened to us a view of the rebels planting their batteries on an adja cent hill across the Potomac, the opposing forces being so close together that our pickets were within j rifle-shot of the rebels. Wc soon availed ourselves of onr arms, which arc Belgium rifles, but, while wc were yet cleaning them, a flag of truce made its appearance on the Virginia side of the water, and its bearer, after being blindfolded and con ducted into the presence of Gen. Bander, de manded, on behalf of the rebels, an unconditional surrrendcr, declaring that the alternative would be their shelling 1 and burning of the town. The General gave him a Union answer—-it consisting j of sentence which closes with a strength}' expletive, to witr —“Shell and be d——d!" So, according | to promise, at about 11 o'clock A. M. they opened j upon us with about five or six guns, the fire of j which we returned, with interest The firing was j kept np nearly oil day, and terminated by the I rebels being driven in confusion back to the shol- I ter of a hill. What their loss was lam not pre { pared to say, although wc could sec them distinctly, through the glasses, and see our shells being dis tributed among them very freely. No lives were lost upon onr side, and, with the exception of sev eral bouses haring been pierced with shell and shot, the town was not damaged. We retired to onr quarters, little rested from our tiresome march, having been upon one feet ail day. At daybreak on Monday morning the rebels again made their appearance on the hill afore mentioned and were in the act of planting a bat tery, when wo opened on them and scattered them like chaff before they could fire a shot. The firing was kept up on our side—our shell exploding in their camp behind a bill, and upon the hill wc coaid see them dragging away their dead. They could also be seen straggling here and there at a great distance over on their side of the river, until about 11 o’clock, A. M., when not a vestige of a rebel was to be Seen, even if the eyeballs had been strained from their sockets in the attempt. The time passed along quietly until Friday eve ning—nothing transpiring in- the interval, except the arrival of reinforcements which made ns about 5,000 strong. On the same evening wc received orders to march to Cumberland, Md., a distance of forty miles. We started 2 about dusk and marched 12 miles through mad and over moun tains, and lay in the woods, on the wet ground, without tents or fires—the woods being clear of underbrush. Wc rose in the morning, stiff, sore and tired, and mode our breakfast on sea-biscuit alone, for we Imd not had time to cook anything, and many bod not even a biscuit daring the whole march. Only nineteen out of onr company ar rived at Cumberland that evening, and not that many of any other company in the regiment.— But they hare all straggled in, except a few whom we left behind in sickness. Wc took quarters here for a few days, in different bouses which were given us, but we are now in camp, awaiting marching orders. It now becomes ray painful duty to record here the death of two brother soldiers, meraliers of Company A (Capt. D. M. Jones,) 110th Begi ment F. V. The first was Wm. Wilson, aged 18 years. He was left in the hospital at Harrisburg, when our regiment started out, and died of the measles on the 2d day of January, 18G2. The second who was taken from os was Jas. Stoddard, who took sick on the road, was left at Hagerstown, and has since died. We, the officers and members of Company A, do heartily sympathize with the relatives and friends of theSfe yonng men; and, while they may mourn the loss of a son, a brother or a friend, we sincerely mourn the loss of two nbbje, true-hearted and patriotic soldiers, who were both ready and willing to do their whole •doty Hr defence 1 of their conn try's rights; and, though they never had the privilege of showing their w i„ the field, we >1 Ml confidence ' of Col Lcasure, end the put he end his ( in their courage, and fed that they died in defence took in the fight, which 1 have good authority for j of their country as much as if they had fallen on saying is in many points very incorrect.

C. ) I January 9, 18C2.> j Messrs. Editors:—The past two weeks have | been rather'devoid of interest, nothipg of any mo- | ment occurring except a small fight:sonic eight or ! ten miles above Beaufort, at a Jilace called Port , Royal Ferry. It seems that the. rebels have been, j for some time past, throwing np Entrenchments and | mounting cannon so ps to prevent our men from ; using this ferry in crossing to the main land. 'Gen. ; StcEcns’ brigade was charged with the dispersing ' of them and the clearing of the ferry, and right ; gallantly did they do it. Under cover of the fire of the gun boats they approached the batteries and then charged them at the point of the bayonet.— j Our metr captured one gun and killed several reb els, and lost one man killed, one missing and nine wounded. While the fight was going on the long roll beat in ah the camps on this island, and sud denly all the regiments were out in line of battle, the guns on Fort Walker (now Welles) and those mounted on the hew entrenchments further inland were quickly manned and every one awaited orders. Presently they came. Every man *aS to get his overcoat,’ haversack with rations, and canteens and be ready to march at a moment's notice. We did so, and daring the whole afternoon patiently waited for the word to “ fall in.” But it did not come.— The news, however, soon came from Beaufort that our men hod gained the day, and—we did not | leave our camp. So ended our first fight, and by ; that victory our forces have gained a footing on ■ the main land, and can have a direct route to the | railroad which seems to lie the groat point now. Large quantities of cotton are now being gath ered and shipped from tills point. Sonic vessels take oat as high as 180,000 and 190,000 i»imds at a load. Perhaps if we put a few such loads as this into Johnny Bull's mouth, we will stop his roaring. By the way, don’t you think that John ny is “ treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath ?” If he don’t get most completely thrashed after we have finished switching our Southern/Hcik/s it will not he bccatfic the soldiers do not want to give it to him. The English liave at last got those villains, Mason and Slidell, and I hope they may enjoy them to their hearts content. Now that the casas belli, over which some of the papers put on the agony pretty heavily, is disposed of, it remains to lie seen what course she will pursue to wards us for the future. Why, it is darkly hinted ! in some of the English papers that even should | this affair be settled peaceably, still the sinking of the stone fleet is a sufficient cause for breaking the peace between the two nations. Now, if■ England wants to come,'and is determined to come, 1 say, let her come. But as soon as she does, we will turn the key upon the exportation of grain and breadstuff's, and following that we will throw back on her hands the millions of dollars of manufac tured articles which wc each year purchase, and then—stand from under. England would find a worse rebellion at home than' she ever imagined wc were suppressing here. May such a state of affairs never arise. May England l>e wise and ■ keep out. of difficulty, for if she ever fires a gun at 1 the North, she must go under, never more to oc | copy an honorable position among the nations of j the earth. One of the main features, or objects of note, on this island arc a number of wooden buildings, from two to three hundred feet long by twenty-five or thirty feet wide and one story high. These houses are intended, as quarters for the negroes who at va rious times come in and claim the protection of the Government. Immense stables, storehouses, and large wooden- buildings of all descriptions are rap idly going np here. A large bakery, cap-able of turning out bread enough per day to supply thirty thousand men, is now in full operation, and the bread obtained from it is equal to any of the .ba ker’s bread of the North. I'rof. Starkweather, of the aironautic corpse's' here with one of Lowe’s balloons, for which he is having the gas rapidly manufactured, in tanks brought from the North, and I understand the inflation will commence in a very few days. Then, don’t you see, we will have a balloon ascension here, which I am sure will be quite a novelty. This is done in order to become thoroughly acquainted with tire country around.— I feel well satisfied from all that is going on here, tliat before long there will lie some heavy work to do. A large number of Tropellers and gunboats have few the last few days been collecting in the liarbor, indicating that a move is to lrth you have snoiw or rain. It rains but seldom here and then the showers are but light. Enclosed I send yon a specimen copy of a little paper edited and issued by the Field and Staff of tesrs of the 100th Regiment P. V. The moat of this copy ap you win sec, is devoted to laudations [W r e have been permitted to copy the following extracts from a private letter received J>y Mr. D. D. Domer, of this place, from his brother, William Domcr f who is a member of the “Anderson Body- Guard,” formed in this State. They will be read with interest by all Ms ncqiiant ances in these parts, and they are many. —Eds:] We are still here, awaiting marching orders.— We were notified last Friday to prepare for march ing, which we accordingly did, and now await the order. It may come to-day, and it may not come for a week or more. “We know not what a day may bring forth.” The weather has been a little rough for several days past, with abont an inch of snow on the ground, but we can keep comfortable ih onr tents, with stoves, so long as we are in camp. Kcpburt was thrown from his horse yesterday and had bis leg and knee somewhat bruised, hot not seriously, lie is doing very well and will soon be about again. Tlte boys are generally well and irt good spirits. I believe I told you in my last note tluit our company had been selected by Gen. Buell as his escort, when he takes the field; therefore our movements will depend somewhat upon his—or rather on his orders... Our duties will no doubt lie sometimes arduous, and we will all the time be under the strictest military survcilance, but this will be all the better for the company. The news of Cameron’s resignation was received here with apparently great satisfaction by tbo Ken tuckians. It inspires them with confidence in the Administration, and it will aid the Union cansc vastly in thfe department—in fact throughout the border States. Cameron’s report was exceedingly obnoxious to the conservative men of Kentucky,’ and bod it not been for the timely intervention of the President, thousands of good Union men would have turned Secessionists, and our cause in Ken tucky would have become much more complicated. Now our prospects arc ranch brighter, and this, with the recent victories of our arms in the State, inspires us with the hojie that our cause is fits* ! gaining ground, and that soon the State of Clay | and Crittenden will lie redeemed from the curse lof treason and rebellion. Our cause is just and ! our victory sure. The advance bn Bowling Green I may be delayed for prudentisil reasons, but it will !be none the less sure and triumphant. The time ! is speut in making extensive preparations of troojis, provisions, lie., liy teams. This Is a mule depot, where they are broken and made up into teams of from four to six to a wagon, and then sent forward ; | to the advance positions on Green river and other j places. - j Nothing more of special interest now. The Washington correspondent of the j Philadelphia Press says:—lt is very cvi- : dent that the new Secretary of War in- j tends to create some radical changes in the j management of Ilia department. Already he has infused new energy into his subor dinates. The influences which hampered | Secretary Cameron will not be permitted to hamper Secretary Stanton. However necessary care and caution may be to pro tect the public interests, it may happen that armj' officers of experience and as sumed integrity, may commit as many mistakes as civilians, and have as many favorites. Mr. Stanton is completely in dependent of all mere political managers, and his bold and vigorous character will strengthen him in introducing some of the most wholesome, as well as some of the most startling reforms. The Washington Star, says: It is understood that a thorough reor ganization of the War Department is rap idly progressing, and that it will, in ii few days, be fully up to the demands of the j occasion. Among other things, it is not j improbable that the following will occur: j 1. That in order to leave room for pro ! motions for gallant acts in the field, and | other reasons of public policy, no further | appointments to any rank in the army 1 (unless of men in the field) will be made i until the-Ist of March. 2. That all the nominations that have been made, and are now pending before the Senate, will be suspended until after the Ist of March. S. That the disorganization produced by officers frequenting the city instead of re maining in can# to instruct themselves and soldiers in the military art, will be checked by dropping from the list those who frequent the city otherwise than on military duty and by command of their su perior officer. 4. That in order to conduct the business of war as, war, the Department will be closed four days in the week against all other business than what appertains (o ac tive operations in the field. 5. That Saturday of each week will be devoted exclusively to the transaction of the business of Senators and Representa tives in Congress; and that Monday of each week will be (Jevoted to the business, of other persons requiring personal inter views with the Secretary. G. That the Secretary of War will transact no business whatever, and will see no person on business at his private residence, but will receive bis friends so cially on Wednesday evenings |.

Secretary Stanton’s Policy^ ' Batflemter Bomeriet, Ky. j . On Sunday morning bat, a battle took place between a portion the Union for ces in Ky., under Gen. Shoepff,. and Gen Zollioo&r’s army of rebels, the details of which ate partially given below and show it to have been a grand victory for the Union forces: Cincinn ,vtx, Jan. 21 A special Ixiuisvillc dispatch to fi le Commercial, 9AfS that despatches received at Head Quarters announce that the bat tle took place on Sunday morning, and that General Thongs continued the pur suit until night. Our forces followed the rebels, who ran before them like a flock of frightened shedp close up to their entrench ments on the north bank of the river. ' I H front of these they laid all night expectin" to storm them _ in the morning, but with the aid of their boats and barges the ene my managed to get across the river before daylight. They left behind them all their artillery, ammunition, horses, tents, eighty wagons loaded with quarter master anj | medical stores which fell into our hands. I Our troops had possession of the entrench ments yesterday morning. After reaching the opposite side of the j river the rebels dispersed in every dircc -1 lion. Two-hundred dead and wounded | rebels were picked up on the field. , j Gen. Zollicoflfer was found in a wagon j mortally wounded. j Our loss has not been definitely asccr- I mined, but it must have been considerable, j The surgeon of the Tenth Indiana Keg. I iiucnt telegraphed that his regiment had j seventy killed and wounded, i General Thomas’s division embraces , some of the best regiments in this deparl ' ment- As far as learned, the Ninth Ohio, Tenth Indiana, Second Minnesota, Eight eenth Regulars, and Fourth and Tenth Kentucky regiments were among those en gaged. Colonel Mattson's brigade,, including the 10th Indiana, 18th regulars, and some Kentucky regiments, reinforced General Thomas. During Saturday night they ■made a-forced march of twenty-five miles through heavy roads, and managed to ar rive three hours before the commencement of the fight, in which they took a glorious part in spite of their fatigue. The tenor of all the official dispatches goes to show that the affair resulted in the most bril liant victory of the war. No prominent officers are said to- be killed on our side. Gen. Schoeff was utterly unable to cnl off the retreat of the enemy, owing to the bluffy character of the country, and the obstruction of all the roads’ by felled tim ber. The following despatch was received at head-quarters: Lonsvn.i.K, Jan. 22, 1802. To Major General McClellan , Commanding the TTnitcd States Army-: The following has just been received from Gen. Thomas: The rout of the enemy was complete.— After succeeding in getting two pirn's of artillery across the river, and upwards of fifty wagons, he abandoned, the rest with all the ammunition in the depot at Mill Spring. They then threw away their anus, ami dispersed through the mountain by-ways in the direction of Monticcllo, but are so completely demoralized that 1 do not believe they will make a stand short of Tennessee- The property captured on this side of the river is of great value, amounting to eight six-pounders and two Parrot guns, with caissons filled with ammunition; about one hundred four-horse wagons, and upwards of twelve hundred horses and mules; several boxes of arms, which have never been opened, and from five hundred to one thousand muskets, (mostly flint locks, but in good order;) subsistence stows enough to serve the entire command for three days, and a large amount of hospi tal stores. As soon as I receive the report of the brigade commanders, I will furnish a de tailed report of the battle. Our loss was thirty-nine killed, and one hundred and twenty-seven w-ounded. Among the woun ded were Col. McCook, of the Ninth Ohio, commanding a brigade, and Tiis aid, Lieut. Bart, of the Eighteenth U. S. Infantry. The loss of the rebels was: Zollicotfcr and 114 others killed and buried, 116 wounded, and 45 taken prisoners, (not wounded) five of whom are surgeons, an• pbee- 1 j ftdy f«MW nightly P re ** nf Jr A-.
