Redbreast is a choice singer, none of your monotonous warblers which have not ;the power of altering their pipes to as many varieties of pitch and volume as the best mu sical instruments. Robin mimics all the oth er forest singers, and performs their lays much better than they do themselves. lie is a legendary hero, and many stories of my thological authenticity are told of him. lie lias from time immemorial enjoyed a freedom from persecution-which other birds may en vy. ' It, is a popular belief in many places tu'at it is unlnck’y to- kill a Robin. The fol lowing rhyme shows the prevalence of this idea in Sngla.nd : Tho robin and the redbreast Tho redbreast and the wren* If. vnu'take out o’ their nest, Yo’ll never thrive.agj;in. Tho robin and the redbreast, The martin and the swallow, ip ye touch one o' their-eggs, Had luck will surely follow. Spring Styles. —Our milliners are bring iiig out their spring bonnets, and some of them already make a fine display. The style is oulte to some extent, the top of tho bonnet towering high, above the forehead to a. lofty peak. The space between' the forehead and tho peak is filled'ln with, a> solid mass of arti ficial flowers of spring colors —pink,.lilac, or pale blue mixed with white.. To some faces the style is becoming, to others so much tho reverse that the new fashion is very likely to be extensively eschewed. Neapolitan and fine French chip appear to bo the leading ma terials. Crape bonnets, this spring, will not make their appearance, but silks of various styles are quite ns much foreshadowed ns they wore last year. The most fashionable plain-.colors are pink, white and apple green. Short cloaks appear to bo coming in vogue again, so that people having “ spring cloaks” left over from last season will bo considerably behind the times when winter cloaks, like one tuned hand organs, are played out. The specimens exhibited ate trimmed with exceed ing plainness. ’While, some few long-cloaks maybe worn this spring, the short ones-a. sort of cross between a-“ wnmus” and n Gari-1 bald! shirt—are the. stylo that hid fair to bo! the rage. Altogether, the spring fashions! for 1863 are merciful to the pooketbook. Per-' bkps this is the case In order that fashion may not be defied, for wore it otherwise, fashion this spring would be tabooed and l necessity exalted into a first oliiss virtue. ■Bpr-Qan.

TUB NEW APPORTIONMENT BILL; ’ Ous readers generally are aware of the fact that the Congressional apportionment, made at the last session of ihe'Legislature,'was,Tery partisan and very unfair—not to spenk 1 , in over-mild terms, it;.wait an outrageous gerry mander. The minority, that is to' say the Democrats, were allowed only four certain-dis tricts, while the Republican appropriated the remaining nineteen. The act of Congress, passed on the 4th of March last, whereby this State was assigned an additional mem ber of Congress, imposed upon the Legisla ture the necessity of rovisinig the apportion ment. ’ , « ■ A committee for that purpose was appoint ed in- the Senate, and- on tho 24tU ult.„ its Chairman, Mr. McClure,. made a report, tho principal feature of which is the formation of, an additional district out of the counties of of Montgomery and Lehigh. The- Western districts remain as they are in the bill passed by the last Legislature. So do the first four districts in Philadelphia. Tho Fifth district is made to consist of the Twenty-second, Twenty-third and TwentyTfifth Wards and Bucks county, by detaching tho townships from Montgomery county. The remaining alterations will bo, scon by comparing the act of last session with the following : SIX.TII DISTRICT, Montgomery county. Lehigh county SEVENTH DISTRICT. Delaware county Chester county " v EIGHTH DISTRICT, Berks county NINTH DISTRICT.

WENDELL PHILLIPS. Wendell Phillips recently made a speech at tho Smithsonian Institute, Washington, in which he openly declared that ho had been engaged in efforts to dissolve the Union for the last thirty years. - He keeps to his old text; and yet ho was awardedtho priviledges of. the Senate Chamber, and also the House, and feasted by Vico President Hasilin and Speaker Grow. We see it announced that he has made his appearance at Harrisburg, and that tho Senate has graciously given him that Chamber to fulminate his secession ideas. Really this is strange. Men who have beon the substantial friends of the Constitution and the Union all their lives, have boon arrested and imprisoned, for nonlledged offence what ever, and released without trial; and yot this man Phillips not only runs free, hutisnursed and petted by tho United States Senate the Senate of Pennsylvania, and Abolitionists gen erally. Why? Tho answer is in his. speech at Washington, in which he acknowledged that he had been working against the Union for thirty years. Never was a confession more true. For thirty yoars Phillips has been attacking tho Constitution, and usin g every means to exasperate the South to seces sion. Now that ho has accomplished his ob ject, he is in his glory, and triumphs in this fraotrieidal war as did Satan when his schemes against mankind resulted in Cain’s murder ing his brother Arel. But now that Phil- lips has confessed that for thirty years ho has boon' a conspirator against tho Union, is it not about time that tho Government put an end to his ntrooitous oareei by con6ning him in n prison or a lunatic asylum ? By his own con- fession Phillips and tho Southern Rebels aro co-laborers, and therefore they ought to he treated alike. OCT" The Herald asks us .if wo couldn’t make a damaging attack upon Capt. Has tings, tho,commandant at Carlisle Garrison ? What crime has tho Captain boon guilty of that tho Herald should attempt to ruin him by its praise ? That paper.is tho organ and defender of tho Government plunderers, and when it eulogises a man, the public is sure to regard him with suspicion. In this case, however, the Herald is certainly mistaken— at least wo hope so—for Capt. Hastings has heretofore sustained a reputation which can not bo impeached or sullied even by the praise of the Herald, tthd wo trust that paper will desist, and not again attempt to endorse the Captain, and thus ruin his character. Mount Joy Academy. —By reference to his advertisement, in another column, it will be seen that Prof. Moore’s Mount Joy Academy w.ll commence it. Summer Session on the first of next month. This Institution is pleasantly and has a reputation sec ond to none in the State Parents and guar dians will do well by sending their boys to this well conducted and successful Academy. GOT, JOHNSON TO TUfS PEOPLE OF.TENNES SKE.c On onr first page we publish Gov.- John son’s "Appeal to the People of Tennessee." It is well conceived and'well expressed in all its parts, and the best results are to he' anti cipated from tho administration of Gov.

He contrasts the for mer prosperous condition of Tennessee with its pesent deplorable state,, to which it had been reduced by rebellion. So announces that his mission is to restore law, order, indi vidual and'public rights and the authority of the Government. He does not seek, to en force any of the revolutionary theories so plentifnlly broached in Congress, but quotes tho resolution adopted at .the' Extra Session 1 for the purpose of assuring tho people that the object of tho war is the restoration of the power of tho Government ns it was before it was temporarily disturbed by the revolt of Tennessee and other confederated States. To those who have remained steadfast to tho Gov ernment he promises honors and rewards—to the erring and misguided, pardon, but to " in telligent and conscious treason in high plac es,7 Population. 72,020 43,754 115,774 Arrival op Contrabands.— I The Philadel phia papers of Saturday announce the arri val of ninety-seven escaped'slaves on the day previous in that city, and the expected-arri val of more on Saturday..

The Abolitionists them selves must goon, reap the hitter fruits of this fallacy. No sooner dees a negro escape from bondage than ho works bisway to the North, where ho is taught to believe that he will ho oared for by his sympathisers. The only pity is that the Abolitionists cannot be made to support the idle and Vicious horde that, must soon he thrown into the city, and from the city bxtend to the country, until the State is overrun with them—one-half of whom will cheapen and degrade labor, and tho other half fill tha.jails and nlms-housos of the.

Wendell Phillips Mobbed at Cincinnati, ■ Wendell Phillips attempted to lecture at Pike’s Opera House, Cincinnati, on Monday night. . " ■ : He commenced' by avowing himself an Abolitionist and a Disunionist. Persons in tho galleries then hissed; yelled and threw eggs and stones at him, many of which hit him. The hissing was kept up for some time.' Finally Phillips made himself hoard, and ho proceeded until something again objec tionable was said, when the storm of eggs was renewed. The dim, in many cases was good. Still Phillips porserved, and a third time was hissed, and a third time egged and stoned, The orowd from tho galleries then moved down stairs, crying “ put him out,” “ tar and feather him !” with groans for the “nigger Wendell Phillips.” While proceeding down the middle aisle towards the stage, they were mot by the friends of Phillips, when a fight ensued. A scone of indeseribahlS confusion oecur ed. The ladies in tho audience were scream ing, crying, jumping over chairs and falling in all directions during tho skirmish. Finally Phillips was taken off the stage by his friends, and tho audiertco moved out. All this time the streets in the vicinity of the Opera House were crowded with excited people, who wore searching for hut unable to find Pi( illi rs.

Until it does so the- Democracy have a right to hold it responsible far all that Abolition has done to pfodqce rebellion. A political warfare against tbe rebels is no longer necessary. Itissim pe nonesense—waste of ink and paper. The army fights them. The only political fight which, remains, for the North is under this very issuer—Abolition or Union, treason or loyalty; the Constitution or no Constitution.- This is the real issue ; and the first and holi est duty of every citizen .is to tear the mask of patriotism froni the faces of the extremists and to expose them to infamy as do-conspira tors with DiviS and Floyd ; ns the author* of schemes .which, if successful, will extirpate liberty from this continent. The Residence Or tbe Rebel Mason. —Our troops are now in . the occupancy of Winches ter, Virginia, and, accoording to the corres pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, are making good use of the residence of the reb el Mason. The letter says:. “ Among other private residences is that of the Rebel emissary, James M. Mason.. It is located upon an eminence upon the Romney road, a short distance from town, and is a white three-story dwelling, surrounded by a well cultivated plot of ground.

The negroes once bought, the expense and trouble will bo just begun.— They must be clothed and kept from starva, tion afterwards. This will require more than the amount required for their purchase.

THE EIGfWY-POURTII REGIMENT, A FEW-I'AOfS Jolt THE PUBLIC TO PONDER OVER.. On the evening of the 25th of November last, Qeb W. G. Murray’s regiment arrived in this city from Camp Grussmntf, and on the 26th it marched through the streets of Harrisburg, in command of the field officers... A Black Republican who holds, an office in.one of the State Departments remarked at the time the regiment filed from State street into Third, that he would “not trust, any man: in that re giment—that all dr nearly all the officers and men were Breckinridge secessionists.’’ This' was the opinion of that portion of the Black Republican parly who set themselves up in judgement upon the fealty of men to the Un ion, whether in or out of the army. The field and staff officers—nearly all the line officers, and four-fifths of the privates were knownto be Democrats, hence the Telegraph, which was loud in the praise of other regiments had noth ing *o say in bohalf of the Eighty-fourth, or Us gallant officers. Had this regimen t showed the white feather at the battle near Winches ter, wo dpubtless. would have been' treated to a rare homily on Breckinridge cowardice in the Telegraph, but as the-men stood Up-to the work with adetermined bravery, unparalelled in the history ol this war, the Telegraph is forced to make the most of, it.. ami award praise to a fallen hero who hca-rtily. despised it and its Abolition crew of editors and pub lishers. The persistent and malignant attacks made upon Col. McDowell by the Abolition organ ot this city demand no answer at our hands. The fact that ho is now at the head of the re giment, pursuing the enemy in the valley of the Shenandoah,, while his cowardly tradu cers ore snug at homo, feathering thnir nests from the coffers of both State and National Government, is ail the defence 001. MncJDow oll wants, , But it has at least become a mat ter of necessity that we-should mention ocir cumatance-that must prpve refreshing to the patriots who want to this war on Ab olition principles at their own firesides, with out incurring the danger of cultivating the acquaintance of shot-nr shell. About the same time the Telegraph was endeavoring to inflame the passions of a mob to such an. ex tent that the property of Colonel MaeDowell would he destroyed, a similar game was going on in the borough of Ilollidaysburg. Col W. G. Murray was'a hard working Democrat, and as suoh was hated by the Republicans.— In April last, when Sumpter foil, and shortly after he had been rotated .out of,office, borer oeiVed a letter from a self-constructed vigil ance committee, composed of thw rampant Re publicans of Hollldayslmrg, charging him with disloyalty,’and'commanding, him.,to <le : plaro his sentiments, and put out a flag,with in 24 hours, or suffer, us the gallows was al ready preparing for all traitors. This letter Colonel Murray had in-, his possession last summer, and it is- doubtless still among his effects; His long connection with the Post Office made him’familliar with the writing of ! every prominent man in the place, and the authorship of tho letter in qiie tion, although in a disguised, hand, he charged upon a man who was subsequently dno of. the swindling borso oontraotors-whn robbed the Government so.unmeroifully at Huntingdon last summer. These aro facts to ponder over, and they might'suggest the idea that the Telegraph is .trying to give Col. Murray posthumous fame as it recompense for its political friends' threat ening to hang him, and branding him as a Breckinridge secessionist up to the very day his regiment loft the Stafo, if. the character of the editor and the Hessian publisher and plunderer where not so woll known. But we have another fact that may ho un palatable to the Telegraph. Col. Murray and Col. MaeDowell wore for many years warm personal friends. It was through, the solici tationa.of Col.-. MaeDowell .that 001. Murray took command of the regiment lost summer, and Col, MaeDowell beoatne the Lieut. Cot. of it at the urgent request of Col. Murray and all the lino officers, a majority of whom I were his personal friends and acquaintances, and;among whom he had resided for years.. Now mark you. in the face of these facts, the editor of the. Telegraph, fearful that Colo nel MaeDowell will succeed to the command of the regiment, charges him with inodmpe teney. and recommends to Govonor Curtin a successor. The cool.impudence of such a re quest to the Governor, coming from the source it does, must bo exceedingly refreshing to Ills Excellency. A follow who knows ho more of military affairs than an untrained nss, and who, with ail his vaunted patriotism, would not trust, his worthless and cowardly carcass, within tpn miiesaf a battle.field, is a pretty specimen ot a man to judge of the oom peteiioy of an offleor now in the- service, facing the foo, It is all vary well fof.the Hessian publisher of the Telegraph to rake from the Rutters of Bellfonto tin editor who, like the Swiss soldier, fights for the side that pnvs best—and. it is all well enough in its way for the editor afore said, in pursuit of hie calling, to indulge in coarse personal abuse against ministers of the gospel, upon whoso record there is neither spot nor blemish, merely because they will not preach abolition sermons; but when he undertakes to dictate to the Governor whom ho .shall select for .officers, and passes judge ment upon a man’s military capacity in bru tal assaults, while that officer is serving his country in the field to-day, ho assumes the impudence and arrogance of a knave, and the recklessness of a scoundrel who has neither character nor reputation to lose A Poor Rich Man. —The Chicago Times. gives a case of a gentleman in that city which we.presume is only one of many similar cases which might be named: , . A gentleman some years since, by the rise of real estate, became noted for the increase of his wealth. His paper ranked fair fur al most any amount, and fortune seemed to fa vor him ut iCvory turn, The pressure came, however, and found him in the net of erecting one or mofo fine blocks on prominent streets. As the buildings seemed necessary, and an equal necessity existed of obtaining funds to finish them, be resorted to the plan of mort gaging the property for the purpose. The buildings were finished, and the gentleman’s pecuniary mattars.stand very much straiten ed. The rents ho receives from the buildings are absorbed by interest, insurance and tac es. Real estate cannot bo sold fur anything greater than a sacrificing price, and the gen tleman has no other property than these buildings and bis homestead. He is worth from §50,000 to 80,000 ; yet bo is actually ob liged to labor, day after day, to furnish, the necessaries of life fur his family, or. starve.

Winchester, March.2sth.—On Saturday the rebels advanced-upon Winchester, under Generals Jackson, Longstrnot, and Smith, and drove in our pickets with th'eirchvalry. They approached'ntilhin three miles of the town, and bringing up a battery of artillery, commenced playing on our troops. General Shields ordered Robinson’s Ohio battery to return the fire, and while ho was directing' the Operations, the splinter of a rebel shell struck him- in the left arm, and disabled it instantly. Gno man and horse killed, belonging to the battery, were the on ly casualties besides this, on our side that day. The rebel loss is supposed to bo twelve men. Afow ofour pickets were captured. At night both armies drew up in front of each other, and awaited morning to renew the contest. The rebel force was seven thou sand infantry, twenty-eight pieces of artiller ory. and twelve hundred cavalry. THE SUNDAY BATTER On Sunday morning, nt ten o’clock, the rebels receiVeU .'reinforcements, under Gener al Garnett, amounting to five’ thousand more. The Union forces did not exceed ten thousand men, and, with the exception of about five hundred, were of Gen. Shields'division ex clusively: At half-past ten the enemy made a feint on our left, commanded by Acting Brigadier General, Suliyan, opening a heavy (ire of artillery, while the real attack was di rected. against our right, with the object of flanking it. General Kimble commanded on the right,'where the heaviest fighting was done. There the enemy was strongly posted in wood's and behind a stone wall, and the rebel' artillery was posted on eminences on both sides of their left wing. Oiir whole ar tillery force engaged consisted of four batter ies, of twenty-four pieces in all. The contest rage 1 furiously till'three o’clock in the after-- noon, fighting being done chiefly by the ar tillery arid musketry, at a range of not more than three or fout hundred yards, arid often much loss.. The rebel Infantry opposite our right now debouched from the woods, and attempted to capture Doan’s battery by a. charge. The first effort was nearly successful, but the heavy discharge .of grape compelled thern to, retire in confusion. ' A second and weaker attempt likewise failed, and the enemy fell back, with heavy loss, behind the stone parapet.* Col, T ler now ordered hla brigade to charge the enemy’s batteries on the left, and a most dnai.ly, encounter-followed. Twice our men reeled under the storm ; but in the third effort they muted the rebels with tre mendous slaughter and loud cheering, cap turing twu of .their guns and four caissons. Our loss in these struggles.wns heavy. Out. of 300 men engaged- in the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania, twenty-six were killed and eighty-three wounded. Col. Will’aoiG.

Forty corpses of the hundred and fifty afterwards strewed the field. - Meanwhile the rebels gave. way. on their loft and centre, with a loss of seven hundred killed and wounded, and two hpndrod and thirty-sis. taken prisoners.. Besides these, about fiften hundred muskets wore taken and many other valuable trophies, Our loss does not exceed one hundred killed aud three hundred wounded; • , The,roar of.musketry and cannon-was in cessant for several hours, and particularly be tween two and six P.
