E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA: Thursday Morning, March 5, 1863. BOMMARY OF NEWS. The Second New Hampshier Regiment, Volunteers, Lieut. Col. Bailey, commanding, arrived at the Park Barracks in New York, on their way from the Army of the Potomac for the Granite State, for the purpose of re cruiting their ranks to the full compliment.— The regiment left home one thousand strong, and return with only three hundred of that number. While in the field tbey'.were recruit ing with five hundred men. The total num ber now returning is 550. Their tattered col ors are eloquent as to their activity on the field. A number of the members of this gal lant command have suffered long and cruel im prisonment in Rebel dungeous,at New Orleans, Salsibury, and elsewhere. Major General Sigel, who arrived at New- York on Thursday, met bis countrymen at Turn Halle aud at the Metropolitan Assembly Rooms, on Saturday evening, making a speech to each assemblage, urging upon the Germans to remain uuited in ibe support of the best Government on earth, as the future of'heir native land depended upon our success in crushing out the Rebellion. He was most en thusiastically cheered. lie was subsequently serenaded by about five hundred German sing ers, when, with his wife, the gallant General appeared at the window of his residence, and was cheered by about three thousand persons who hud gone thither to get a glimps of the hero of Pea Ridge, aud of later fields We have advices from Port Royal to the 25th ult., by the arrival at New York the steamer Arago. Preparations for the grand movements were still in progress. All the iron clads, excepting two, had arrived. The misunderstanding between the officers of Gen. Hunter's and Gen. Foster's forces respectively, had been amicabaliy arranged through the in terposition of Adjutant Gen. Townsend.— Gen. Stevenson and Quartermaster Slagbt, it was understood, would soon be released. Gen Hunter had held a graud review of all the troops from Gen. Foster's command. The health and spirits of troops were good. Dates from the vicinity of Vieksburg are os late as the 23d ult. The expedition through Yazoo had penetrated to Moon Lake on the 22d. Beyond that point, toward the Coldwaler River, the rebels had temporarily obstructed the channel by ftlliDg trees, but it would soon bo cleared out. A skirmish took place there recently between a detach ment of the Fifth Illinois cavalry and a par ty of mouoted Rebels, iu which the latter were routed with a loss of six kiiied, several wounded, and 26 captured. Officers of the British frigate Petrel, from Charleston, report that the rebels have a strong network across the channel to the en trance of Charleston harbor, and that the network is filled with torpedoes, designed to blow up any of the Union fleet that may at tempt to enter the harbor. A letter in a Wheeling paper gives partic nlars of a disgraceful affair between Union troops and the enemy near Strasburg, on the 25th ult. By a piece of most inexcusible care lessness, after capturing a number of rebels, our force was surprised, arid 200 killed and captnred, almost without resistance. CONGRESSIONAL ELEOTIO.VS —Eight States are to hold Congressional elections this year. The results of these may materially change the coraplexiou of the House of Representa tives, as it is now claimed by the copperheads, nnd we would not be d'sappointed to see the next Congress organized with a loyal majori ty in both Houses. The States which are to elect this year are as follows : New Hampshire, (3.) second Tuesday in March. Khodc Island. (2,) first Wednesday in April. Connecticut, (4.) tir>t Wednesday in April. Kentucky, (t),) first Monday in August. Vermont. (3.) first Tuesday in September. California, (3.) first Thursday in September. Maryland, (5,) in November. West Virginia will elect three members, and there may be applications for seats from the old State of Virginia, one member ; from Louisana two members ; from Tennessee two members. TF£SU President LINCOLN has issued a proc lactation calling an Extraordinary Session of the Senate, to meet ou the 4:h of March, at noon, to receive and act upou such comrauni cations as may be made to it on the part of the Executive. These communications will mainly, if not altogether, include military and civil nomina tions. CSS"* Nearly all the Republican members of the Indiana Assembly withdrew ou Wednes day last, and left the body without a quorum. It was done to prevent the passage by the Democratic majority of an unconstitutional bill to strip the Governor of all power over the State malitia.

THE LEGISLATURE. —The principal part x>f the Legislature the past week has been the consideration of local bills. Not much of gen eral Interest, CONGRESSIONAL. Id ihe Uaited States Senate, on Monday, the bill to regulate proceedings in prize cases was passed. The Senate took up the bill for the protection of.abandoned property and for the prevention of fraud in the insurrectionary districts, the pending question being on the motion to strike out the sections providing for the purchase of cotton, rice, sugar, and tobac co. The motion was lost. A motion to strike out the sectiou authoring the Treasury Agent to purchase property in these insurrec tionary districts,was carried; and thus amend ed, aud as some say re ported, the bili was adopted. Mr. Willey presented the creden tials of the Hon. L. S. Bowden, elected U. S. Senator from Virginia for six years from the fourth of March. The President sent iu cor respondence about the suffering working men of Eugland. The Conference Committee on the bill to Indemnify the President reported; laid over uutil 7 p. m. The Internal Revenue bill was reported back with amendments. The Engineer Corps bill was taken up. A long fight followed ; the Democrats succeeded in carrying by one majority an amendment that no black man should be a commissioned officer in the nation al army ; this was modified by a later amend ment, got through by two majority, that no black men should be commissioned except as company officers over companies composed of Africans only. The bill then passed. An amendment was carried that no collect or should have over $5,00 per y ear besides the expeose of bis office. The House receded from its amendment to the Senate bill supplemental to the act regu lating the judicial system of the United States. This amendment gave the District Court Admirality jurisdiction over the lakes and adjacent waters. The Senate bill grant ing lands to Wisconsin and Michigan for mil- itary purposes was passed. The House con curred iu the Senate's amendment to the bill granting permission to the Independent Tele graph Company, the line extending from Port lan 1 to Washington, to extend their wires in to the District of Columbia, and the amend ment grants similar privileges to any other corporation or company. The Senate bill uu thoiizing the Paymaster General to take im mediate measures for the payment of the sick and wounded in the convalescents' cauip3 and hospitals within 60 days was passed. The House, by a vote of 91 agaiust 45, concurred iu the report of the Committee of Conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the bill indemnifying the Presideot aud others for suspending the writ of habeas corpus. The Court of Claims bill, on report of Confe rence Committee, was adopted. On the bill to reorganize the Courts of the District of Columbia, the pro slavery leaders undertook to filibuster, but were cut short by the House taking a recess. At the evening session a bill was passed authorizing the Acting Governors of Tennessee and Louisana to issue writs for the election of Members of Coogress, accord to the local laws. THE INCOME TAX. —Some misapprehension having arisen in relation to the time and man ner of paying the iucome tax levied by the act of Congress approved July 1, 1862, it may not be out of place to give the exact provis ions of the law. No tax upon incomes can be levied or collected until the first day of May, 1563. On the first day of May next the assessors shall levy a tax of three per cent, upon ail incomes which shall have ex ceeded the sum of six hnudred dollars during the year ending December 3, 1862. If the income for the year 1862 exceeded the sum of ten thousand dollars, the tax shall be five per cent, upon all above six hundred dollars. The tax of three or five per cent, is due and payable on or before the 30th day of June, 1763. If remaining unpaid for thirty days after June 30th, a penalty will be imposed A person, therefore, whose income in 1862 was.one thousand dollars, will be assessed at three per cent, on four hundred dollars of that sura on the first day cf May next, and will have at least sixty days in which to pay his tax ; that is to say, a man who received last year n salary of one thousand dollars must pay an income tax of twelve dollars on or be fore the SOth of June next, with the privilege cf delay for an additional thirty days. The income tax is to cease absolutely at the end of the year 1866. THE EMANCIPATION POLICY. —It is charged that the Emancipation policy has driven the North and uuited the South. The men who assert this, know that they speak falsely. The North is not any more divided than at the beginning of the rebellion. And as for the South to prove that the Proclamation has not " united"' it against the national cause, the message of the Dewly chosen Gov. Cannon of Delaware, the election of emancipation offi cers, and an Emancipation U. 8 Senator by the new Legislature of Missouri, aud the ap pointment as U. S. Senator from Maryland of ex Gov. Hicks who declares that peace can not be permanently restored to our couutry until slavery is expelled from it, bear witness. The rising Free Labor party in North Curo lina, the thoroughly Emancipation attitude of loyal West Virginia, and the tendency to Emancipation of the formidable loyal party in South Lousiana, all attest that our Union is to be restored on the basis of Free-Labor, or it cannot be restored at all. BST* A Union Club has been formed in Bos ton, Edwa.d Everett presiding. The object of the organization is the unwavering support of the Government in potting down the rebel lion. Letter from Virginia* CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Feb. 16,1863. EDITOR REPORTER—SIR : After the battle of Fredericksburg on the 13tb of December lest, it was discovered that the colors of the 132 d Regiment, P. Y., were missing. Upon inquiring they were found to be in the hands of a New York Regiment, who claimed to have captured them from a flying regiment.— The Colonel immediately demanded an invest igation, which was granted and the flag re stored. As two companies of this regiment were organized in Bradford, (Company C, now in command of Lieut. Landon, and Com pany D, now under Lieut. Gladding,) it is desired that you published the following ord ers and communications, in reference to the transaction, that the honor of the regiment may not be tarnished with false reports, and that friends at home may know hew our col ors were lost. It may be proper to odd that one of the color bearers mentioned was Lieut. Cash. McDougal, of Canton, than whom a braver mau never led a company, who was shot down while gallantly waving his coun try's flag, during the hottest part of the en gagement. Respectfully Yours, W. H. CARNOCHAN. 2d L'eutenant, Co. D, 132 d P. V. HEADQUARTERS 132 d Regt. P. V. ) Near Falmouth, Va., Feb. i, 1563 ) ORDERS NO. 16. The following communication of Brig. Gen. French addressed to the commander of this army corps in regard to the flog of the 132 d Regiment, P. V.. is published for the infor mation of the Regiment. The Lieutenant- Colonel commanding congratulates the com mand on having its hard earned reputation so fully vindicated from the expressions of those who having accidentaliy come into pos session of its colors—coiors which bear so many honorable scars received in the hottest of the battle at Antietam and Fredericksburg and around which so many of our brave com rades have fallen—sought to blacken its es cutcheon with the foul name of cowards. The epithet does not attach to your character, aiid so long as the sacred, though bloody as sociation of the past, linger in your memory, it never can. The Lieutenant Colonel also congratulates you that in your gallant and able commander, Gen. French, he feels sure that your good name will lie always safe, and under his skillful leadership you will be ever ready to do all that brave soldiers can do in the battles of your country. By command. CHARLES ALBRIGHT. ' Lieutenant Colonel commanding 132 d P. V. F. L. HITCHCOCK, Lieutenant and Adjt. HEADQUARTERS THIRD DIVISION, ) Seccond Array Corps, Camp near Falmouth, r Jauuary 29, 1563. ) Maj. A. F. Wall,cr, A. A. G., Headquarters Second Ay my Corps. MAJOR—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the paper iti reference to the 1 Fiag of the )32d Pennsylvania Volunteers, to gether with General Sully's reply to them. The proceedings of the board were not to be found in the office of those Heaquarters when Genera' Snliy left, so that lam in ig norance so far as this is cor.c* rued. But of this I know, that General Sully took no pains to uscertain the character of the ! troops be was temporarily commanding. He ; states, " but ns this Regiment, the 1321 Pennsylvania Volunteers, was a new regiment, ! and was for the first time under fire, I was dis posed to be vorv lenient with them, as I did not think thev looked upon this matter as old soldiers would, and as I understood (not be- j ing in command at tie ttip)m p ) that the regi ment behaved well during the engagement." Now the facts are that 1 32d Pennsylvania was part of the Kimball's Brigade at tho hat, j tic of Antietam: it went into the fight with , 700 men and nt Fredericksburg it counted on J the field only 250, of whom it lost 107 and j five color hearers. At Antietam the whole nrmv knows who ran and who did not. and it is within the scope of probability that those who have en deavored to make some reputation out o r find ing the flag of a gallant Regiment, in a hospi tal where its wounded hearer had laid, were amenable on that day to much more than General Sully ventured to say to the 132 d Pennsvlvnnia Volunteers, under the supposi tion that they " were new troops under their first fire.'" I claim that the prefer person to nttend to the reputation of his command is its present commander , who*e reputation is identified with it, and that, neither military usage, regu lation, nor soldierly courtesy, authorize the temporary commander for a few davs, to in vade such delicate matters, particularly when like in thiscae, snch ignorance was displayed as to the history of those to he dealt with. As the Commander of the Division, and knowing the character of the 132 d Pennsvl vnnia Regiment, which has fought under my ryp in two of the bloodiest battles of the war, and which has the highest enconinms from the Brigade Commander, Gen. Kimball, (who knows what brave mpn are ) I have deemed it my duty to make this record to go with whatever may have transpired during my short absence. I am, Sir, very renectfully. Your ob't servant, WW. TT. FRENCH, Brigadier-General commanding Division. HEAD QCAKTERS TTURD DIVISION, ) SECOND CORPS, Feb. 5, 1863. J GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 8. The investigation by the Major Geseral commanding this division of the circumstances connected with the flag of the 132 d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, being found tera porarily in another regiment of this Corps, has elicited the following commendatory order. By command of Major General FRENCH. W. F. A. TORBEIT, Lieutenant and A. A. A. G. HEAD QUARTERS, SECOND ARMY CORPS, ) February 5, 1863. J GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 7. As there seems to be some injustice done the 132 d Pennsylvania Regiment as to the loss of its flag after the Battle of Fredericks burg, occasion is taken to publish for the tnfor mation of all concerned the facts in the case. The 132 d Pennsylvania Regiment, part of General Kimball's Brigade in the Battle of Antietam, entered the fight with 100 men behaved nobly, and lost heavily. The Regiment entered the Battle of Fred ericksburg with 250 men and lost a little less than one half their number, including five color-bearers. The last color-bearer, badly wounded left bis Regiment after dark, and iu town catering a church used as a hospital,tak ing his colors with hiuo. He was carried away from this.place aud the colors left be hind. The very fidelity of the color bearer, holding to his colors as loog as conscious, was the occasion of their loss to the Regiment. Not only no fault should be ascribed to this Regi ment. Not only no fault should be uscribed to this regiment, but it should receive unqual ified commendations. By command ot tuajor General HOWAItD. A. D. C. & A. A. G The Conscriptioa Bill, Mr. Wilsons' Bill, which passed the Sen ate, provides,, as regards conscription, in sub stauee as follows : All able bodied male citi zens, aud those who have declared their inten tions to become such, or have exercised the right cf sufferoge, between the ages of twen ty and forty five years, constitute the Nation al forces of the United States, and are liable to perform Military duty when called out by the President.

Substitutes may be fur nisbed or communication made not to exceed three hundred dollars, at the discretion o( th< Secretary of War. Any person drafted anc failing to report, or furnish a substitute, o pay his commutition, shall be deemed a desert er, and subject to immediate arrest.

Officeis absent with leave, except fur sickness or wounds, receive half pay ; officers absent without leave, no pay at ail. There are other provisions, but chiefly of details not particularly important. AN EXHUMED CITY.—A most singular dia covcry has been made on the French coast, near the mouth of the Garonne. A town has been discovered buried iu the sand, and a church has already been extracted from the sand. Its original plan show it to have been built towards the close of the Roman Empire, but changes made in it had given it the ap pearance of an edifice of mixed style,in which Gothic architecture has usurped the place of the Roman. The original paintings, its ad mirable sculptored choir and Roman capitals, arc adorned with profuse ornanieuts, which are attracting numbers of visitors. This tern pie is all that remains of those cities described by Plimy and Strabo ; the Guif of Gascony abounds in ruins of these ancient cities. It has been 1,500 years since Novigaraus, the old eapitul of Medoc, which was a very cele brated city when the Romans were masters of Gaul, was buried under the ocean ; of all that tract of territory the Roche du Cordonon alone is visible. The remains of Roman roads, the site of Jupiter's temple, the vesti ges of the Spanish Moors, and roads to Elea uor de Gnyenne, have been Fescued from the sands in the neighborhood of the long-buried city of Soulace. Nowhere have the erosions of the ocean been greater than on the coast of Gascon v. figy* Admiral Porter reports the capture bv the Rebels of the gonboat Indianola. He says his instructions were disobeyed. aDd hence the disaster. A late letter from Corinth, Miss , states that it estimated that not less than 1000 Union teen from Mississippi and Ala bama have made their way to Corinth, where Gen. Dodge made all" possible provision for them. Gen. Dodge sent out and brought in the families of persecuted and down trodden Union men, and has thus established a sort of encampment or home for all their families at Purdy, where they are likely to be free from persecutions. AtCorintb a regiment is forming of Union men from Alabama aud Mississippi. Already there are six full companies. Capt. J. C. Cameron, Provost Marshal of the dis triet of Corinth, is to be Colonel of this regi ment. PROGRESS OF THE TERRITORIAL POLICY —The United Slates Senate on last Friday, passed the bill providing a government organization for the territory of Arizona. This makes the second new territory ettr7ed oat) at this session of Congress, the first having been the new territory of Montana. As bills were report at the same time to enable Colorado, Navada and Nebraska to form State government and be admitted as States, they may be consider ed out of national territories, which would consist of Washington, Deootah, New Mexi co, Utah, Montana and Arizona, six in ail. A dispatch from Washington, dated March 2d, says : Gen. SIGEL has placed his resignation in the hands of the President and 1 gone home. lusuperable difficulties in his in ! tercourse with the Coramander-in Chief, are : alleged as the reasons for this resignation, which will be regretted by every soldier in the army. It is thought in military circles ut Wash j inpton that his corps wiiibc consolidated with some other. BJ3-- A dispatch from Halifax states that on ; the 12te of February, the Rebel pirate Flori da captured and horned the ship Jacob Bell, i bound from China to New York. The Jacob Bell had 1,600 chests of tea on board. Her passengers and crew were traDsf rrcdtoolKi j nih vessel, and arrived at St. Thomas on the j 19th. The United Stales Steamer xVlabuina I left St. Thomas on the 20:h, in search of the Floii'la. The steamer Columbia rati the block ade at Wilmington, N. C., arid arrived a 4 St. George witil a cargo of cotton and tobacco.
