Return of the Committee of Defence from Washington. CORRESPONDENCE AND CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. General Pleasonton, chairman of the joint cum initiees upon the Delaware defences, boa returned from Washington, having accomplished in part the purposes of his visit. It seems that a groat deal of callousness boa been manifested upon the subject of our helplessness, particularly by the State authori ties. So far as known, the efforts of the latter have been expended in promises. Hendrick B. Wright, of Lucerne county, a member of the Military Coin mittee of Congress, desired from Genotal Totten some warrant for reporting favorably upon the matter of appropriations for our State defences. The following is General Pleasonton's REPLICATION TO THE ENGINEER BUREAU WILLARD'S HOTEL, IVA9HINGTON, D C., January 2, 1862. To Brigadier General JOSEPH G. Torrest, Chief Engineer U. S. A., Washington, D. C.: GENERAL: In pursuance of the objects of my mission, and in accordance with the wishes of the government of the city of Philadelphia, I have caused to be presented inthoMouse of Representa tives a bill making appropriations specially for the defence of the river Delaware and the harbor of refuge created by the Delawaro Breakwater. This bill has been referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, and to-day, in conversation with the member of that committal) having this subject in charge; in explanation of the objects of the bill, he expressed the wish to be informed if the Engi neer Department had recommended the construc tion of defences on the land to cover and protect the said breakwater and its harbor., As in my con versation with you on that subject, a few days since, you expressed yourself in favor of the con struction of the said land defences for the said breakwater and harbor, will you, in your reply to thif note, be so good as to express your opinion -and recommendation thereof in writing, so that in that form they may be presented for the consideration of the Committee on Military Affairs in the Rouse? Accompanying I submit for year information a copy of the bill for the above-mentioned and other objects, as the samehes been referred to the Com mittee on Military Affairs. In connection with this subject, may I so far trouble you as to ask to be informed what number of guns it is intended to mount on the various har bor defences in and around Now York harbor and an . the East river, ne well as the number of guns for the proteCtion of Boston and its vicinity ? If it will not incommode yon I will esteem it a particular favor to receive your answer today. I have the honor to be, General, Very respectfully yours, A. J. PLEASONTON, Chairman of the Joint Select Committees of the Councils and of the Board of Trade of the city of Philadelphia. REPLY OF GENEOAL TOTTEN ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, WASIIINGTON 2 Jan. 3, 1802. To A. J. Pleasonten, Esq., Chairman, &0., Hotel, Washington, D. C. 61R : I have just received your letter of 2d inst., and hasten to reply. The construction of suitable works of defence for the harbor of refuge made by the Delaware breakwater, in Delaware bay, is fully approved by thin Department. The sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a suitable and moderate amount to be ap• preprinted, as neon as possible, for the commence ment of such defences. The defensive works now complete, or under construction, for the protection of New York, in cluding the inner harbor, the approach by Long Island Sound, the approach by the Narrows, and the anchorage near Sandy Hook, are ready to mount about pee thousand guns. The number will be increased us further progress may be made. The defences of Boston harbor era now ready to receive three himdred and thirty guns. The num ber will probably be increased, by spring, to four hundred and thirty, and further, as labors shall pro v the honor to be, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Jos. G. TOTTEN, Brevet Brigadier Gen and Chief Engineer. IMPORTANCE OF A FORT AT THE BREAK WATER.—Tho following extracts from a letter of General A. J. Pleesonton, to the Hon. William D. Kelley, of the House of Representatives, on the de fences of Delaware ricer and bay, exhibit the great strategic importance of the breakwater at Lewis town: READQUAII.TERR ROME GUARD, CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, January 4, 1862. To the lion. irrnt. D. Kelley, House of Repro sentattves,Washington, D. C. Div DEAR SIR: 4 4 Allan' MO hero to ten der to you my sincere acknowledgments for tho cour tesy extended to me, personally, and also for the attentive and respectful consideration bestowod by you on the objects of my mission to Washington, (In the defences of Philadelphia, and its river ap proaches.) In my interview with Mr. --, he told mo that be would recommend to the Military Committee to report the bill you had introdueed for the defences of the river Delaware, &0., in creasing, however, the appropriation asked for the fortifications to bo erected for the defence or the breakwater and its harbor, as (lon. Totten, in his letter tome on the subject, thought that the sum of $150.000 was too moderate. These appropriations, however important to Phi ladelphia, are of vital consequence to the Govern ment of the United States in its occupation of Washington, and in its military and naval opera tions in Eastern Virginia, and along the Southern seaboard. A glance at the map will disclose the fact that a hostile fleet at the Delaware breakwater, with another in Lynhaven bay, just inside the Capes of Virginia. would effectually interrupt all communi cation from New York, New England, and all other maritime ports, by ace, with the Potomac river and the Chesapeake bay. Philadelphia, at the same time, would bo block aded in its own river, and if, with a land force put ashore from this fleet, a coup de maiie upon it should be successful, the war in the South, east of the Alleghenies, would be brought to a close at once; and the Government would also bo forced to evacuate Waebington forthwith, from the impossi bility of procuring supplies there, as nothing oould be got from the West by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, now greatly injured in many places; as Maryland furnishes little or nothing ; and as the resources of New York and New England would bo cut off by the occupation of the Delaware river and bay, and the consequent destruction of the Chesa peake and Delaware Canal, and of the railroad from Wilmington to the Suequehanna river. A large supply of powder also would fail by the destruction of Dupont's powder works, near Wilmington. • There is no point on this continent, at this time, of such value to the Government of the United States, nor whose loss would entail such disastrous consequences to the whole country, in its civil, military, and naval operations, as the city of Phila. dolphin. The occupation of Lynhaven Bay by a hostile squadron would blockade the sea approaches to Washington, Annapolis, and Baltimore, and would cut off supplies to Fortress Monroe and Hampton Roads; and the surrender of that important fort ress would be simply a question of time, and with out Mix a shot, depending merely on the quantity of provisions and water with which it might be sup plied at the moment of thuocoupation of Lynhaven Bay by an enemy's fleet. These considerations aro so momentous, that I conceive that it is only necessary to present them to Congress to insure the prompt passage of the bill you have introduced, and relying fully upon yodr most active co-operation in what so nearly concerns us all, I remain, my dear sir, your much obliged and obedient servant, A. J. PLEAsottrost, Brigadier General, Commanding Home Guard. CHARGE or Ansm—Yesterday afternoon George Atkinson was brought before Alderman Loftier on a charge of arson. Dr. Blackburn, the Firo Marshal, testified as follows : That Atkinson lately,. boarded at 1327 Ma.soher street, and was compiled to leave his boarding-houso on Account of being suspected of robbing several of his fellow lodgers. lie left in a bad humor and took lodging in the neighborhood. Two nights after this, some person or persons entered a •stable attached to the first boardinghouse and attempted to destroy it, lighting fires an four different places, which were, however, extinguished before much damage had been done. What rendered their attempt more fiendish was the fact that the boarding-house was partly built over the stable, and the lives of several persons were placed in great jeopardy by the flames which burned up through the floor and filled the room with smoke, nearly suffocating several persons who 'were there sleeping. The Fire Marshal proceeded to state that there was no direct evidence to implicate Atkinson in this attempt at arson; but, from his having made threats, be was arrested and held while the matter was be ing investigated. During this time, it was remora bored by Mr. Blackburn that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of a certain George Atkinson some years since.

' On the afternoon of the Bth of June, 1857, he was seen to go into the unfinished house and come out again, and in a few minutes the place was in ilamee. The property was, however, not entirely destroyed. A warrant was immediately issued for the arrest of Atkinson, but before it could boserved he had en tered the navy and was off for a three-years cruise. On being questioned, yesterday, ho admitted frankly that be was the man in question, and that ho was also guilty of the crime oe arson, in setting fire to the premises of Dr. Jackson, as aforesaid. lie was committed to answer the charge.

An action on a promissory note. Untried. NISI Pnius—Justice Strong.—Josiah G. Jones vs. Edwin Kirkpatrick. This was an action to recover damages for an alleged malicious prosecution. The case grew out of the prosecution instituted by Ed win Kirkpatrick, in 1858, in the Quarter Sessions, against Robert B. Kirkpatrick, Sarah Kirkpatrick, his wife, Mrs Yardley, and Josiah G. Jones, charging them with a conspiracy to kill and mur der by means of a poisoned pie. It will be remem bered that on the trial of that case, Mrs. Yardley and Mr. Jones were acquitted, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk patrick were convicted on some of tho counts in the indictment and acquitted on the other ; and on a motion to arrest the judgment on the ground that the counts on which Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick wore convicted were the same as those on which they were acquitted, and the court sustained this position, and the judgment was arrested. In the present ease the allegation of the plaintiff is, that Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick knew him to be in nocent of the charge preferred against him. In the Quarter Sessions it was charged that Josiah G. Jones (colored) carried the pie, which, it was al leged. was received at the house of Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick, and which it was further alleged con tained poison. The plaintiff, yesterday morning, introduced the deposition of Margaret Dunagao, formerly a servant in the house of Mr. Edwin Kirk patrick, who deposed that she received the pie in question. There was a light burning in the hall at the time, and she saw the man who handed tho pie, and it was a white man, and not colored; after the prosecution had boon commenced against Mr and Mrs. Robert Kirkpatrick, Josiah Jones was brought in frent of the house of Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick, and the witness was asked if she recognized him as the man who had brought the pie. She replied (to Mr. Edwin Kirkpatrick) that he was not the man, that it was a white man. Sub sequently the witness was taken to Judge Kelley's office for the purpose of identifying two white men as the party, and she at that place declared that they 'were not the men. She also denied that Mr. Robert Kirkpatrick was the man who delivered the pie ; Rivas after this that Josiah Jones was included in the bill of indictment, and the allegation on the part of the plaintiff was, that this was done in order to prevent him from becoming a witness for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kirkpatrick. Mr. and Mrs Robert Kirkpatrick were examined yesterday, as witnesses, and they both, in the most positive manner, denied having over sent, or esused to be sent, a pie to hip. Edwin Kirkpatrick's house, by Jones or any other person. Monica Morris, formerly a servant in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Kirkpatrick, testified that, in 1858, she resided in New Jersey, and that before the trial in the Quarter Sessions, she was waited upon by Judge Kelley and Detective Rustell. Judge' Kelley produced a pie plate, and asked the witness if she recognized it as ono belonging to Mrs. Robert Kirkpatrick. She examined it, and stated that it was not a plate belonging to Mrs. Robert Kirkpatrick. The plate was exhibited to her three times, and she persisted in her statement. While with Mrs. K., she bad a full opportunity of know ing the character of the china ware in that house. Oa trial. List of Members of the Pennsylvania Legislature. SENATE.
