The Committee has the satisfaction of know
ing that in mart 7 instances the seasonable
arrival of their supplies has been effectual in
averting the most serious consequences.
In one of the reports from on agent at
Iliwiteesborengh be states that the receipt of
• shipment from hence of 175 barrels of onions,
potatoes and pickles had "done more to in
crease the dialect fighting strength of the
army than a regiment of new recruits."
It is with sincere regret that the Committee
ari compelled to state that the funds in their
trusury are nearlyexhattsted, and that unlace
some speedy and effectual mell.llll are adopted
for their replenishment, they will be obliged
serfonsty to restrict their exertion., If Oct
totally to suspend their labors.
Liberal so have been the contributions to the
Committee, they will bear no comparison with
the amounts raised io other cities. While
Chicago can bout of her tens of thousands,
and Cincinnati of her hundreds of thousands,
shall Western Pennsylvania remain deaf to
the cell of patriotism and humanity.
The Committee are fully aware of the vari
ous pressing calls upon • your generosity ; and
nothing but absolute necessity would hero
trawled them again to appeal to that patriotic
benevolenee which has never failed to respond
to their call.
As soon as circumstances will permit, col
lecting committees will be appointed to wait
upon such of their fellow.eitilent, as may be
able—and willing to contribute on the present
emergeney, and in the meantime donations of
money, or such artioles of clothing. food and
other supplies as can be spared from your
abundant stores will be thankfully acknowl
edged by the Committee, who hope shortly to
present their claims to your aasistanee through
an active and Intelligent agent.
Let it not be forgotten that to a sick or a
wounded soldier the gift 'of a warm garment
or a comfortable meal may be instrumental to
the preservstion.of a life, 'valuable alike to his
family and his country.
The Committee cannot conclude this brie!
report without expressing their grateful sense
of the unwearied exertions of the Ladies
Committee" to whose care and attention they
are indebted for so large a portion of the cue
ems which has attended their efforts.

The Subsistence Committee present the fol
lowing report of Its operations, daring the
mouths of January and February :
We have fed at our Dining Booms, City
Hall, 14,346 malaise., most of whom were
veterans, on their way to their homes to -en •
joy the thirty days furlough.
At the Soldier. Home, on Liberty street,
we hays furnished meals to 4,410 soldiers, and
lodging to 1,153, the largest portion of whom
were sick and wounded, many of them re
quiring medical care sod attention.
Ten soldiers have been sent to the United
ants Hospital, end transportation given to
twelve, who were left In our city, without
means of reaching their homes.
The large number of soldiers who are coo
etantly needing such care and attention as
we give them at the Home, has made it Im
perative that our means of accommodation
should be increased; and we are happy to
Inform our eitiseus that by the middle of
April, no will be able to open a Soldier's

To up our now rooms and carry on our
work during the coming spring, when many

Mr. Newell, a lawyer of New Tork, who,
having served in ISB2, on the staff of the
Governor of New Jersey, was often asked
such questions as—bow are disabled soldiers
entitled to pay, bounty, nr pensions to pro
ceed to obtain them 7—how are the relatives
of deceased persons in the naval or military
service to recover the wages doe!—how are
persons entitled to a share in prises made at
lea to prefer their claims ? These qtes
dons—having subsequently acquired much
experience by undertaking to obtain fur
many parties:the amount of their claims—
Mr. Sewell has been able to answer very
completely in this volume. At fint, in at
tempting to obtain the pay, bounties and
pensions for the wounded, soldiers in the
New Jersey hospitals, he foetid it a harder
auk than he expected and sought in vain for
any book containing the information desired;
bat the laws relating to these subjects had
been so recently purled, there was little or
nothing to be learned from any book publish
ed. By degrees, under the instructions of
the Second Auditor and the Commissioner of
Pensions,he Required the necessary knowledge,
and by keeping copies of the papers in each
clams of eases, altering them where they
proved defective, eta., be has been able to
reduce the practice to a system, as we see In
the volume before us. It contains all manner
of directions and forms relating to every class
of cases within lie scope--even to the appli
cation of a maimed soldier for an artificial
leg or arm. Doubtless the book will be most
acceptable to those for whom it is desighed
and cannot fail to save much unnecessary
trouble and blundering to applicants for pen
sions, beauties, etc.

As admirers—or, rather, es eni.Yrr ,
that wondrous mossio-worker, Robert Brown
ing, we cordially welcome this complement
ary volume, which renders the elegant edi
tion of his works published by Messrs. Tick
nor .k Fields eomplets—at least as complete
as any edition of a living author's works can
be. The three poems here published, were
not included In either the English or the
American edition of his 'poetical works,'
published several years ago, though "Straf
ford" was written, and Drought on the stage,
in IB47—only two years after the publication
of "Paraeelsus," his earliest work, "Bordel
lo," which has been generally regarded
as the moat difficult of all Browning'. poems to
understand, was published in 1840, and,w e be-
Here, has not been re-printed till now. Not
withstanding its faults, real or imputed, It con
tains many, luny exquisite passages—rich, In
tense, brilliant, as the colors of some magic
prism whoae very mission is like that of our
poet, to transform the appearance of things,
and to decompose the very light in which
they are seen. The third poem in the yob:line,
"Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day," exhibit.
some of the most characteristic trait. of
Browning's genius, and of what we may call
( forwant of a more exact term) his mannerisms,
better than either of the poems of which we
have spoken. We thick it deserves more at
tention than it has yet received from any clam
of readers, Critical or uncritical, so far as our
observation hes extended. We predict that
it will have more appreciation by and by.

A letter from Col. Streight to the House
Military Committee tsog.talos some new Items
In the Indiotment civilisation briny agains t the
barbarians who have rootrvA of prloortere at
Richmond. The following ars SOM. of his
statements The rations furnilted both of
finer" and men by the e.lxde co girt of about
one pound o f corn breed mad. from un
ed meal, and one-t.turth pound of poor
mans pot. as,: count ha. beet, issued
the prltonert hot about ball that time
since the lit' Dccernbsr last. In iifidttion In
the ration. of bread and meat, the prisoners
draw about two quarts of rice to one hundred
men, and a sefacionl i vantity of salt b fur
bed, and aver: • 0...❑ quantity of vinegar
e few loot/maw, eaty da vr eight times
at most, a small iv ...thy of slyest potato..
has bean toned, tu.tead of rations of meat.
Above Is the lam 10,0 of rations ism:led to
Out officer. led moo. MON pursuers of war.
The condition of or nor. stnnato enlistad
men, now In the h. :As al . the enemy, is much
Won. than that of i.ur °dicers. From early lo
May last, •hen I strived in Richmond, to
about the first of December, all the endsted
men wars taken to what is called Della I.'sod
turned into en t ech..., like in many
cattle in • slaughter pen. Very few of Loons
had tents, or shelter cf tiny kind, and the few
tents furnished were .o poor and leaky as to
render tbem but little better than none at all.
The prisoner. are taken to Libby when they
first arrive in Richmond, for the purpose 01
counting them and enrolling their names,
eioneequently I had a foir shamee to arie their
dition when they intl. ?oily one half
who were [alien rine- M•y last .ere robbed
by their raptors ..1 :Ito, rimer. and nearly
sll
ernee robbed of the!• •trerooeta, blanket, and
haversacks. At lea.t ono third of them had
been compelled to trade their panto, and
blonews for mere rAgi, that would scarcely
hide their nakedn...: very many of them
wan entirely bareheaded, and not a few as
late •a th• middle .f lirdenther were brought
in who had nothing on but 4 pair of tagged
panta and shirt, being bareheaded, barefooted
and without bloats, ..ver. oat or blanket. I
has seen hundreds of our men taken to the
hospital thus clad. and in a dying oondition.
I hare frequently visited the hospital end
have ionversed tooth large numbers of the
dying men brought there frJrr. the Island,
who snored are that they have been COM-
palled to lie oat in the open air without any
medical attan•Laee, lhottEti for 1 data
they 6.1 been an., ids to waft. Though
they were destitute anything like quarters,
and nearly naked during the oold, stormy acid
chilly fell seeeon, the drat and chief com
plaint of .Ii those I saw and talked with,
wee the Insufficient , ioentity et fond. In
no instance hay. tbe rebel authorities
furnished clothing a blankets to our
men. Daring the srilit,r Large numbers of
our men were Iroten. I heard one of the
rebel surgeons lo chat go say there were over
twenty 01 our men who would have to suffer
amputation from the meets of frost this 'TM
before Ihe coldest weather had commenced.
Sometime Id the tote part of December the
position of our men ..re removed from the
Island to some large buildings where they
were more comforishiv quartered. but there
has boon no time a 3.1• y last hot more o
less men have been kept on the Island i.
open air, and without blankets or overcoats.
It is a oommon thing for the rebels I
keep our man for se oral days without food
This wee particularly the ;as with a portio ,
of the Gettysburg tHenne-s. e
Some went
long as six days wlth-ut food, and-were cow
polled to march doing the time. Officer

ght of the 19th 0 December, I received
letter,purporting lu omno-trorn one in author
Ay, dating that fur $lOO in greenback
and two ally., watches, myself and friend
would be permitted to pass the guard. Some
days previous to this, U. of my 011/Clll . l M0.:66W
.:66W in making his escape in this way, and
although I was not without apprehension that
It was • trap, nererthelese I resolved to try
the eaperiment. Captain B. C. 0. %sod, of
the 3d Ohio, and myself; went to the desig
nated plane, at she appointed hour, where we
wan assured that It was all right. We com
piled with the terms and passed out, bat no
sooner were we outside of she guard lines than
Weal. Latonehe, adjutant of the prison, and
seven men sprang out from s. concealed place
and commented tiring upon as before halting.
We were warmed and could do nothing but
surrender. We were taken bath to prison,
put in irons, and
thrown late One of these
filthy holes called rolls, where we were kept
for three weeks on bread and water. The
weather was very cold during the time, and
we nearly perished. There was a very large
amount of filth In the cell which I could not
induce them to remove, nor could' I get
them to permit mo to remove it. I
asked for paper, pen and ink to write to the
rebel authorities, and also fora bur to sit on,
of which there was a large number in the
calls, but everything ees denied me. At the
time I was taken to the cell, there were sit of
our men confined in those cells for attempting
to escape. They had been there for six days
without blankets, anal two of them were very
nick. They were released at the end of mean
days of confinement. I cannot describe to
yea the loathsome filthiness of thmo
They are infected with an innumerable number
of rats and mica, and have no =auk of having
been cleaned since they were first built. It
is needle.' for me lo say that no man can
survive a long confinement in i, place of this
kind, and although I am acquainted
withier
eral persons who have been confined there, I
de not know one who ern now be called a well
Man. Ile also confirms the statement that
every pledge made to them to return them
their money was isolated, and that, too,
after notice was sent North that the money
forwarded them Would be delivered. Every
penny so sent was stolen.

'asthma* eompletely outflanked the Flows

&o at lout, aattlad the latartabable ithbdty

pap otthe bIU laatalettwaa that the Sam
had oat the to um, Saute, the Moto had
sent it hack with certain amendments, inclu
ding one striking out Fernando R'ood's tax
Mt the stock en hand. The Howe had agreed
to this last but hod disagreed to the ethers.
Then divers Committees of I - inference bad
tried to settle the disagreement, but wore al
ways defeated through the determination on
the part of the House to return to its original
ground and tax the whisay on hand. Last
night the House finally voted to adhere
to its original positions and did not ask
for any more conferences. iir•ry hod' sup
posed this killed the bill, but this morning,
the Senate finding whet the House had done,
and calling to mind the fart that to the
Last direct vote on the bill itself the
House had agreed to the main point at
issue, striking ot t the tax on scoot on hand,
saw that it had the House Ina trap. The
House had sinew changed it, mind, and was
Insisting on taxing stock on hand; but it had
not voted directly on the question since it
agreed to the Senate amendment striking out
that tax. They acoordingly resolved to cacti.
lee all other points to starry this one, and re
ceded from every disagreement they had with
the House, and passed the bill. As it stands
it is In the most unsatisfactory shape in which
It could be placed. It taxes all whisky manu
factured from after the 17th of last January,
and up to the let of neat Jelly, duty rents
per gallon, when its provisions rtes., and no
farther tax to levied 'There is not a sliding
scale, and nut .a tax on stoek or domestic
liquon on hand: but all Imported spirits pay
an additional Mx of forty cent. The bill Is
thus at ones incomplete in its provisions, mod
unfair In its discriminatlour and neither the
House nor the Senate wee satt,flod, hot
the Senate :hough. it Letter than nothing,

cults of trade and mechanical industry.
Reciting the language of the Declaration of
Indenendewie, and the •owed opinion of
Attorney-tleneral Bates in support of their
claim to he coneidered citizens of the l ailed
States, they point to the screkte rendered
General Jackson at New Orleans by their
fathers; to the •laerity with which they
theneselrei responded to the call, first of ben.
Butler and then of Lien. Banks, fur troops to
defend the city againtt the tants to their
orderly habits , to the fact that they pay taxes
on fifteen Mali., of dollar.—se the reaper,s
why they should be admitted to be inscribed
on the registers, and to the right.. sad pried-
lig. of oleoton. Among the eignatures to
hir petition are teenty•eight 'totem. of the
war o! 1811, who served under Jackson, and
four who were soldiers, one of them a Lieu
tenant in the French army under Napoleon's
Orst comnlatr, before Loulsiane woe sold to
the United States. They prey simply to Lave
tome rights under this free Government that
they then bad under the French Government
for which they had fought. The President in
plying It , the petition, eald it bu.i
Bnuh the job he had on Lend, and
hi it tie were twiny...el that It wee wines.
yin erdor to the roeteratien houieiann that
bey •hould be .IL.w•d to veto, he would do
it but thitt petition rests its clout Oil rural
grounds, and with those he had and would
hove nothtng to do, he must therefore refer
them to the roustitutional COPVGIAIOI% WWI to
be be held in Louisiana. The cronies mean
to lay their petition before Congress.
Prom a .mmunicetion of the Secretary of
War, in response to a call of the House for
the amount of ps) scents rondo to certain
Wesmro Railroads, since February 25th,
it •ppears that the Illinois Central
road has received for transportation of troops

settled on the basis or the tariff of the road
where snob rates did not coated those of the
toott tariff of 1861, and thirty-three and a

thus found due subsequent to Marsh 34, 1562.
