If there is anything more grati fying then MI others to A public man. it is go know, as I have been odd by tho worthy gentleman who represented you, that his confect meets the approbation of those whore servant he is. (A pplouse.) ror the Just several months I have been separated from you, and to meet my old friends and neighbors in this unexpected way, is most grateful to me. Perhaps I am expected to say a few words as to the manner in which I, have attempted to discharge my duty in the three sessions of the Congress that has just expired. When we wero first called to tether in the 37th Cotigtoses, the country was in a moat perilous condition; the great ;rebellion with which we are now contending seas in full operation—already the traitors had mated many of cur forts. arsenals, mints, most of the arms—and one-half of our territory was in the hands of those '.'srletnn your orator woll deviguated as • trai tors; Tito rebellion watt sensed without reason; these men bad never suffered from any actor the Government; it was designed to perpetuate an institution hateful t o m a n and abhorrent to God—to establish upon ths ruins of our republic, a Government whose foundation should be baman bond sae "loam. Its visa urssr attempted to inter fere with their institution where it existed. f t as had on right to do en: but we did declare that it should not extend over fte mrritory, out remain aita.a existing limits. But this was not enough for them-e-slavery {taunt extend ever the whole -Werth, until, as expressed - by one of their Lich orators, the of hig slaves should Le calla 1 at the foot of Bunker Hill monument. When they I found that the people would not abide this, they fell back upon their next object—the Idestruction of the Republic, and with it' of human liberty,' and the !tepee of mankind throughout the woe d. The extra session wee culled to devils means for putting down this rebellion. It met, and authorized the ExectitiVe to call out a million of men. It found the country without means, the banks and the Treasury hiving suspended specie payments, and naluans to be secured; and the Committee over which I had the honor to preside could devise only one mode of re lief—:the issue of Government notes, and, making ttieni legal tender. (Applause.}— It was 111) Cxper4pent , forced upon us by I I necessity; never doubted that it would operate, and experience has shown the cor rectness of my views. The bill did not pass ' exactly mil wished; when it left the Cum -mit tee, it provided for no payments in specie but made everything bearing the name of the Unitnd States u. legal tender. It thus passed the House, but in the Senate it wits so altered —mangled. as I think—asto demand pay mentain g ad; heuee its monstrous appreei atiph, not only reaching as high as I said it ; would, in It speech made at the time. but I even rising to a considerably higher figure. :•;) the bill, as it stands, though not what; we wanted, was the best we could get. That Congress also formed a tariff which. in my opinion, saved the nation. Had the old one been allowed to stand, the present high prices would have been paid to foreign ers—while now, if we do pay more, we pay it among ourselves (applaisse), and Europe is kept ut home with her haw; and nu man, strange as it may sound, ever saw the count try, - with rebellion is its midst, more pros perous than we are to- Liy. We found, too, that we must frame a tax leer, in .order to pay the expences of the Government, or its credit would sink. The duty was an ardu ous and an unpleasant one. hut the burden was laid upon us by the villainy and treason of the rebels. Tile duty wits forced upon us; there was no alternative but disgraceful submit:siert. No loyal loan would hesitate —none objected but men who call them selvee Democrats, butt are really traitors and Secessionists, of wham we have enough everywhere—some of them now opposite, throwing eggs, atom our Friend,' might take c r e of. ( A voice—The Ma.rinr will take co ra of thorn.) The measure is cheer• fully Fulonitted to by till loyal men. The bill has been in same p 'lets misconstrued and in others erreneously framed; we could nut tell until it.went into operatior„ [The speaker here irkAanee .1 a nullifier of eases in which these fault, and misconstructions had hecto remedied, with which our readers are familiar.; lit relation to the tax on lager beer, ten said; I owe Ima gratitude to this class of deahirs, as I do not isnow one of them who voted for or supported me at the last election; (laughter) still. in :Ostia° to them the tax was reduced from SI to GO per barrel The last session. I would say, has this distinction—that every bill of a public na ture reported to the [louse, everything asked for by the Government, was passed before the adjournment—something which cannot be said of any previous session fur many years. The labor was severe, especially upon those in charge of leading, committees; but I am thankful that health was neeerded me by Providence to etten I every day and every hour of the House :ma my Committee —whether the reoult has proved for ill or for gond, the country must judge. A Bank ing law has been passed, by which a uni form currency may be established through out the length of the land, without danger of losing us we did by seine of the banks here. Wo were obliged also to provide for the enrollment of the national militia. This was necessary on account of the notion of those who style themselves detnocrate, in discouraging volunteering, and counselling those drafted not to obey. Though I re ported a bill for the enlistment of colored soldiers, which would hove rendered a draft unnecessary, and which passed the House. when it reached the Senate they were fright i erred from passing it by the howls of this same ola'.s of democrats—not such as my friend who has mpeken, and many others among you, hut traitors and secessionists, of whom we hare too many—eomo within the sound of my voice. As these men will endeavor to m tke this bill n political engine in their villainous schemes, I will explain in tt few words its mail) features: The en rollment is in two elasses; first from IS to :is, then from 35 to 45 —Cie ft , et claret, how -1 ever, includes single men up to 45. There 1 lire also many wholesome exemptions, in I addition to those physically disqualified: !The only son of a widow er of aged parents I i s exe m pt ; th e only brother of a family of I children under 1'.2 years is exempt: when two have been drafted from a family, no more are liohle—l knew five of one fatuity iwho were drafted in Lencaster county, and inserted this provision. Another good foa -1 ture in the bill is that it fixes the arodatnt of commutation for men trim will not attend. , At the last draft many men who are eonsei entiotte—whom we know to be truly reli gion', and could not hear arms, because • there was no sum fixed beertme the victims of substitute brokers, to the amount of $BOll I or s l .2oo—nnw. the hiebest sum any man Imust pay is $3OO. This hill, too, is not ex actly as I had wished. I offered rut amend -1 ment, exempting none except the conscien tious without furnishing a substitute; not thinking that the rich man might to go free for three hundred dollars, white the poor man iv obliged to go to war. (Applause.) But Congress thought differently, and the amendment was voted down. Thus, fellow citizens, I have Mketche , l briefly a few things which we have done. Perhaps you look for I my views as to the further contitmanee of this war. Were we ur.ited, did the demo ! cracy give the government their united eup -1 p wt, we could put down the rebellion in six !months; as it is, as they t.tlk secession and ! rebellion everywhere, it will take longer, !unquestionably; hot that it will be done, . and the government in ire firmly re estalt- Hefted, there can be no doubt—Ood grant it may be! I again thank you all ' for this i mark of your filen 'ship. As will be seen by a few words of the speaker, the remarks were interrupted by a gang of low rowdies who threw eggs at Mr. Stevens. There must have been a plucky set of his friends present, that such an outrage should have been permitted to Ipass without instant peulshment. No mat t ter how men may differ with Mr. Stevens in political opinion, every man must credit him with ability which places him at the head of the Congressional delegation, and a I singleness of purpose which more than any other moving power enabled Congress to legislate to strengthen the hands of the Ex ecutive. +Mr. Stevens accomplished an al most marvelous work during the late IMF I &Ma of Congress, and it was national not I partisan work. Ile deserves the respect and gratitode of every Inn, Union man. Nut only was the disf„raceful assault of the Copperhead rowdies au outrage, but it was an even greater one that it should have beenpormitted to pies unpunished by the crowd. Wean, glad to learn that Mr. Stevens' health has ember Mart improved than ini• paired by his arduous duties of the past. winter.

Dean Ser:—A messenger from our Regi ment visits Fortress Monroe every day for the purpose of coptnring and escorting to this camp any stray Culumbians who might chance to make pilgrimage in this direction; but like Abe Myers' first run of shad, "they aint to be caught." We have visitors al most daily from Centre and Tioga counties, but thus far not a solitary Lancaster county man, woman or child has set foot in our camp. Can it be that the Conscription Bill, the Negro Bill or the Reading Railroad Bill absorbs the attention of the astute Co lumbians? or is it to want of Bills of the green Leek order that we amp charge this apparent neglect? This should not be, for duth not the Spy set forth that a:heifer is grad and plenty? 1 Saturday last was inspection and muster fur pay Jay. Do not understand from this that pay day is on hand; I am afraid far from it. It is r eitnply a ceremony observed every two months, after which rolls are pre pare 1 and forwarded to the pay department: the pay master appeared in the back ground, far enough in the future to excite the imag niative recruits—too far oT to please the , fancy of sturdy old soldiers, who have had 1 sufficient experience to know that aer,repri• ation bills of flour or five milli'ms of dollars are only hurried throngh Congress fur the purpose of pitying the claims of Army and N.vy cutotraeners, not soldiers. Our Regiment is still enjoying good health; six onlyjwere on the sick list this I morning. Doe of the six is from Com pany B; nut one from K. The health of these two companies during the last seventeen months has been mast remarkable. Only four deaths from ordinary causes (other than in battle or from ‘votonds reecived in battle) have occurred in these two emnpanies since entering the service; and with an aggregate to-day of one hundred and fifty men, but one man on the sick list, is certainly vale- able testimony to the admirable discipline I enforced by the company officers. Can any other companies in the army exhibit so favorable a record? Could you spend a few hours in our camp you would not long won der at our continued - gold health. Sergt. Luke Seely was prnmetetl on the Ist inst. to be 21 Lieut. of Co. 11. Seely is from Tioga county, told in every respect a model soldier, and will no doubt make a splendid officer. 111 has served faithfully , in the Regiment as private and Sergt. since September, 1861, and has, by his indoni table courage, on the battle field, and gen eral goad conduct, won promotion. la our own company, Sergi. lienry, %Vika has been advanced to the grade of Ist Sergt. Ile has been acting Ist Sergt. during the last two months, and the manner in which he per formed the arduous and responsible duties of the position induce] the Captain to ap point him Ist Sergt. IVs consider this. a just tribute to a worthy soldier. Captain henry A. ILtinee, of Company 11, having tendered hie resignation on ac count of ill health, was on the 27th of Feb ruary honorably discharged from service. Tho Captain bias not onjayed good health for several months, and in consequence thereof conceived it to be his duty to retire from the service. I/a will return to his home in M aytown iu a few days. It is rumored in canto that our Regiment will be detaohed from the 9th Corps end be retained for garrison duty, permanently, in Fortress M .nroe. Tire Now York 3d has been there sinoe the bre eking out of the war; it being a two year regiment, will seen be discharged. To relieve it Maj. General i Dix has called for the best disiplinel regi ment in the 9th Corps, and I. believe the 45th and the 1031 New York have been named. Gm. Wileux, cnnmending our I !division, objects to losing us from his di vision, which. with the feet that Gen. Dix is partial to Now Yorkers, leads me to infer that our Regiment will hardly be selected. Garrison duty in Fortress Monroe would be very agreeable, and should we get there we will perform our part well; yet, should we not be chosen, we consider it a great honor to be selected as one of two of the very best Regiments ire the Corers composed of thirty five of the best Regiments in the service.

NASIIVILLE, March B.—Lato news from Franklin state that our troops fought with great valor in the recent confine, until their ammunition was exhausted. Our loss in killed and wounded was about three hundred, and in prisoners one thou sand. The report about the rebel negro regi ments proves to have been untrue. The rebel loss, according to their state ment. was ,double that oa our side in killed and woundoi. None of our officers were CINCINNATI, March 9.--Tbo Gazette has received a. special despatch stating that, in the recent fight at Thompson's station, near Franklin, Toon., there is no evidence that Col. Coburn omitted any precaution to guard against surprise. On the contrary, there was no surprise or ambuscade. The rebel General Van D irn was known to be in force in front, and the brigade of Union forces was slowly advancing when the rebels appeared in overwhelming numbers. They engaged us in front and on both flanks. The 12th Ohio, with the wagon train, was in the rear. They were cut off by the rebel flank movement and escaped. The 12th NVisconsin, 69th Michigan, and 33d and 35th Indiana, were completely sur rounded and compelled to surrender. On the following day, under a flag of truce, Col. Oplyke learned from the rebel escort that they had buried about eighty United States privates, killed .outright, and that some twenty had died of their wounds. The United States loss was from 250 to 300 wounded. No United States officers were killed, and but one colonel, J. P. Baird, of the 80th Indiana, was wounded, and his in jury was slight. The rebels admit having bad a force of 15,000 to 20,000 men, belonging to thineral Van Dorn's division. They say sixteen rebel brigadier generals were in the field. The ac tual rebel force was twelve thousar.d en gaged. They' acknowledge a loss of one colonel, together with several line officers. Their loss was 180 killed and a proportion ate camber wounded.
