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.
WSJ" San Francisco dispatches of Saturday
discredit the 6tory of the capture of Guaya
tuas by the French. The Pallas was at Ma
zatlan, and is the ODly war steamer known to
be off the Mexican coast.
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.

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.

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,

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.

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
