THE LATEST WAR NEWS ' If we may judge by the signs of the times, we ' are en the eve of extraordinary movements. Gen. , Mealellan has issued an order atating that no more fuvionglis will be granted to offioers and• men, ex cept in oases of the most urgent necessity. Gen. Wool, no doubt thinking that the Burnside Expedi- Gin bas etruck an effective blow, has sent a notice to Gen. Roger, commanding at Norfolk, to im mediately remove the women and children oat of that town, as he has determined to make an attack on it. Several of the, Federal frigates at Fortress Monroe were makicif extensive prepare -Gone to carry out the orders of General-Wool, and -a French - man-of-war had gone to Norfolk, to pro. 'tee, French interests in that place. The people there . were in a high-elate of excitement, not re lishing an AURA from General Wool kith's front and Burnside in the rear, and troops were continu ally arriving there in large bodies. In General everything wears a brightening esprit; and betokens movements of an extensive * character. A large portion of his troops have gone in quest of Price, whose object, it is believed, is to retire Ante .drkanaas, - While another portion is making preparations to take part in the Miss's- Expedition, whenever it is reedy to, start. The. extensive expedition against Columbus, chro nicled in our telegraphic columns a' few days ago, wee be expedition at all, if we may believe the latest news brought by the mails from Cairo. There woe* mpvement of five or aix thousand troops to some point down the river, but it iti'said, by several newspaper correspondents, that the exaggerated des patchee 'sent to the different portions of the country of an extenastil one about sailing, were the work of persons high in.. authority in the West, for the pur pose of deceifing the enemy. The utmost activity , prevalle in Buell's division, and proparatione are 'tieing made by bim to clear effectually of rebels that portion of Kentucky embraced in his depart ment. One hundred and fifty more released Federal prisoners arrived at Fortress Monroe, from Mob mend, on 'Friday.. The names of those exchanged, and the regiments to which they belong, will be found in another - column. They met with a hearty reception at the Fortress, and It is said that their enthusiasm at once more beholding the old flag they had fought and bled for wan un bounded, If we may believe the Richmond papers, Union feeling in Richmond is not yet entirely smothered. Ken. Tames Lyons Was appointed by the rebel War Department, to visit several portions confined in the Richmond jail on the charge of expressing 'Union sentiments, and he has just made a report that he finds six of them guilty. Ho recommends that they be hung as traitors. His recommends . rims ; so far as we can learn, have not yet been car ried out. An account of the evacuation of Romney by the Federal troops will be found in another column. Indriediately after the place was evacuated by tho Federal troops, the rebels, under the command of General Jackson, marched into the town, and oc cupied it. Our forces felt bank to Patterson creek, where they have been reinforced. Coin. Tetuan, one of the most distinguished U. B. navy recent who espoused the rebel cause at the coMmencement of the war, has recently re signed-his position in the rebel navy, and retired from the service in disgust. The Richmond E24o7lflei . of the 16th haat. says that,upto 12th inst., 5411 Confederate soldiers had been buried in the Hollywood Cemetery, near that city., It endeavors to explain this great mortality by asserting that a large proportion of the :sick soldiers of the rebel army are scut to- Richmond when they are in the last stages of fatal diseases, The same. journal contains an article which eomplaine bitterly of the present position of affairs in the South. It alleges that McClellan holds Beauregard and Johnston in a vice—that the Union armies are preparing to make terrible de monstrations in every direotion, and that the only hope for rebel success is to so strengthen the forces of General A. S. Johnston", at Bowling Green, as to enable him to break thro . ugh our lines in Ken tucky; and force his way into Ohio. The New Orleans Bulletin of the 7th mourns the effectiveness of the blockade of that port. It admits that New Orleans has been hermetically sealed to the commerce of the world for the last six months, and urges the citizens of Louisiana to make an effort to destroy it, as they have long "waited in vain for the Confederate Government to perform that service." We publish a list of the - staff selected by General Small. Lane. He left Washington for the West yesterday to complete his preparations for his contemplated expedition down the west bank of the Mississippi. A bill has been reported to the rebel Congress to prohibit the newspapers of rebeldom from publish ing any articles giving information in regard to " the number, disposition, movements, or destina tion of the land or naval forces of the Confederate Stately" - and punishing by fine and imprisonment those who may violate this proposed law. It per mits the publication of accounts of battles fought, or of infottnation obtained from Northern news papers. _ It Will be seen by a special despatch from Wash ington that Governor Curtin hes tendered the ser "lee/ of another division of Pennsylvania troops, and that our State is fully prepared to put in the • field more soldiers than any other Commonwealth in the Union, „ The bill recently reported to the Howe of Re premstativea, by Col; Frank Blair, is one of the most important measures yet brought forward. It provides for the confiscation of all the property in the rebel States width persist in maintaining a rebelliona'attitude, and for the lease or sale of it to loyel tithes' .who -hare served in the army or navy for. six months ; and alto, for the emanci pation of the slaves held by rebel owners. We appendseveral of its most Important seotione. It providei : That when in any State or Territory , the peace able collection of taxes, under the sot of August 5, is impossible; in ommequence of•the rebellion, such State or Territory shalt be charged with its propor tion of the direct tax, et:Cording to its valuation by the lash census;, that the , Premdent shall, by pro clamation, on or before the 225 of February next, designate_ the States, and :parts of States in which the peaceable collection of the Government taxes Is impracticable, and thereupon the general late and parcels ofground shall become charged with their respective proportions of the tax without further pro medings that if mach taxes aro not paid within Sixty days, the title in. fee crumple of..smelt lands shall thereupon , vest In the United States; that any loyal oit,zen who may be divested in this man ner of his title to lands may recover the same at any tint., soition .two years thereafter upon making' proof satisfactory to the United States contmtsooners of his loyalty . ; that the inhabi tants of &atm' or-portions of states or Territories declared to be in rebellion shall deliver to tom- Paseo:Dere upon oath, a statement in writing of the amount o f annual income such person derives from any kind of property,'Or any trade, profession, or employment, carried on in the United States or ehewhere ;A:nd persons neglecting to make such statements shall be taxed accenting to the forty ninth section of the act of August 5, and, upon fail ore to pay such tax, all thetr prop erty, real or per sonal,ahall vest in the United States.

A despateh from Oincinnsiti states that 'General Buell is now fully prepared for a great forward movement, and that a portion of his forces have already advanced to the immediate vicinity of the rebels. The opinion is expreisid that the rebels will fall back from Bowling Green without giving battle to our army. TRUE ateismnEss is immortal. "They may die in whom this quality was pre-eminent, but their lives become mighty- teachers mid preachers for succeeding generations. No sacrifice was ever vainly made. The path of human progress, from dim antiquity down to this day, is bounded and defined by ruined altar-places. The fruit of sacrifice may not always ripen in the day and generation of him that sacrifices; but the harvest is as certain as the day is to follow the night. Right action is not only self-perpetuative, but cumulative in force and influence at each recurring period. Conscious of right motives, men have joy fully ascended the scaffold, and embraced the stake. The lot of these was cast in an ago of appaling gloom ; but bow grandly luminous does that ago appear in the light of their ex ample ! But where is the record of the false, the feeble, the timid, and the timeserving, who also lived in that age 1 They withheld sacrifice, and so have perished out of the memory of man. And such has been, as it must be, the fate or the weak and selfish in every age. It is just retribution. Alen look abroad, and say that the Republic has fallen upon evil times. Yet never, in the history of the nation, was such great reward promised to manly action. It seems but yes terday that mothers looked in the faces of their Boris; and said, c , If you do well, you May aspire to fill the highest places in the nation ;" and to their daughters, , c You may be the mothers of Senators and Presidents." To day, they say to their sons, r 4 Go! your country wants heroes ;" and to their daugh ters, "You shall be the daughters, sisters, and wives of heroes." Then, individual honors were promised as the reward of virtuous ac tions; now, heroic fame, won on the battle field or in the deadly breach, in defence of na tional honor. A hundred thousand Pennsylvanians have taken their lives in their hands, and to-day menace treason with blow for blow. Twelve months ago they took for themselves more or less pride as cellepublicans" and gi Demo crats," and strove with each other for empty "opinion's sake." Row is it now? They have attained to better things ; they are more, and better—patriots and therefore, brothers. Their old antagonisms are laid aside, and their blood will mingle, as it has already min gled, on many a field of strife. Shoulder to shoulder they go forward to work out %lofty and comprehensive purpose. As freemen, they have buried the hatchet of past differ ences, and as patriots they have forgotten where it was buried. Who, of all that remain at home, will have the hardihood to disturb its repose? Will loyal Republicans No. Will loyal Democrats ? No. No man, who puts national honor above the shadowy significance of names, will offer finch an insult to the men who peril 'their lives that we may sit by our blazing hearths in security. . None but the weir-wolves and hyenas of party will dare to belittle this heroic age -with exhibitions of partisan prejudice and passion. Pennsylvania has sent a hundred thousand men into the field, but she has not exhausted her stock of patriots. Enough remain to vin dicate her honor and patriotism at the ballot box, if they but rememb6r that cc ETERNAL ,T/GILAIIVE /8 THE PRICE Or LIBERTY." Then and Now. In olden time, when men of character and _intelligence wore selected by our • citizens to conduct the elections held within the limits of the city and county of Phihulelpitia, not a sus picion was ever entertained that the votes polled for the respective candidates were unfairly counted. FrOpl the position and character of the election officers, in addition to their oaths, there was every assurance that the result of an election would accord with the honest expres sion of public opinion. The strife, then, was not for the possession of the six or seven dol lars paid by the city or county to each election officer, but the public mind, embracing every shade of politics, was resolute in its determi nation to secure the services of men compe tent to discharge the duties of judge, inspector, and clerk, and of established integrity and sobriety. Hence, contested elections were of ,rare occurrence, and when one did arise, it in variably sprang from some legal disqualifica tion in the candidate, and was settled in a legal manner. The exactness of the counting house was adopted by election officers, and the very spirit of morality pervaded all their actions, because they had good character at Make, and were under the influence of a healthy public. opinion. Who ever heard, un til recently, of the pollution of the ballot boxes after they bad passed into the possession of the magistrates ? Aldermen and justices of the peace, as a general thing, were formerly men of dignity and integrity ; and wherever the exception existed, a desire in the hull. victual to secure public confidence operated to the advantage of the community. What the present character of the magistracy and elec tion officers is for intelligence and integrity we shall have occasion to speak of hereafter. In this article our purpose is to show who were made return judges of elections fifty years ago, and then ask our readers to con trast the standing and intelligence of' those named with the character of the more recent return judges. On examining scone old manuscripts in our possession, we found a certificate of election directed to Ifaxranw L. BEVAN, Esq., which reads as follows STATE HOUSE, ca THE CITY Or Patta.DELPHIA, October oth, A. D 1810. We have the honour to inform you, that at an election held at the State Rouse, in the City of -Philadelphia, you were duly cleated a Member of the Common Council of said City. TIMOTHY PARSON, • Boa.

We ask our readers whether they do not find in the above names a powerful guarantee of the fairness of all election returns committed to their care ? It is a notorious fact that, of late years, more than one instance has occurred of a return judge being unable to road or write, and -the signatures of many prove that they (MI not even know how to spell either their Christian or surnames. They had been taught to write something like their names mechanically for the special occasion, but imitated the. copy set them so badly that no human being could decipher their , signs manual by any known rules of orthography, either Sclavonic, Pagan, or Christian. We desire to call public attention to this serious matter, and with this view we shall hereafter have some propositions to make upon the subject.. The Army Medical Department Bill. The Philadelphia associates of the Sanitary Com mission, at a meeting hold - in this oity on the 18th instant, adopted a series of resolutions strongly recommending the passage of the bill recently in, trodoced into the - United States Senate by Senator Wilson, for the reorganization of the Army Medical Deportment.

See Thomas a Sote - 44Mphlat tatalogaos and adeortizemonte, autism head: Till FLUE-- rITILADELPITIA, MONDAY, JANUARY '2O, 1802. LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL." WABII/NOTON, Jan. 19, 1862 The new Secretary of War will take the oath and enter upon the duties of his position to-morrow (Monday) morning. I learn that he will argue such of his cases before the Su preme Court as remain undisposed of, and then transfer his, great business to some safe and capable professional friend. Those who expect that Mr. Stanton will not enter upon his position as War Minister with the most earnest purpose of punishing and crushing out this shameless rebellion will be irefully disap pointed. For years he has felt all the force of the great arguments that now inspire the true friends of the Government; and at no subsequent period has he hesi tated in his denunciations of the trai tors. In Buchanan's Cabinet, he was the leading' spirit in the last efforts to rescue that unfortunate Administration from the fate which finally overtook it. When Sumpter fell he was prominent and public in his denuncia tions of the pro-slavery leaders, and from that hour he has been among the strongest advo cates of the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. It is easy to realize how much such a man can do —entirely independent in his circumstances and at the very head of the Federal bar—to fortify a President against intrigues and combinations, and to strengthen his hands in a righteous cause. If you over saw Stanton before a jury you can imagine with what devoted and un sleeping energy he will discharge the obliga tions of his new place. He puts his whole soul into any cause he espouses. He is a man of impulse and of judgment—of energy and of experience. If his heart is warm his reason is cool. He toils for his client with as much industry as if his. case was his own; and I have known oc casions in which he hat; served his client with as much disinterestedness as if his own life depended upon the issue. Imagine Stan ton enlisted in such a struggle as that in which our country is engaged. All his energies will be organized and alive ; and if he fails, it will not be because he has not labored to succeed. Ido not anticipate that Mr. Stanton will be hasty in anything; but I believe ho will bo progressive. In fact, he has always been pro gressive. While a politician ho was a pro gressive, and as a lawyer lie has been original, bold, and determined. As a great jurist said of him, after hearing his speech on a celebrated occasion, he never addresses a jury in a groat case, but appeals to the judge, and makes the law as he goes on. Rest assured he will make some new points in the management of the campaign, and may startle some of the old proprietors who were so horrified because General Cameron refused to recommend that the war should he conducted on the rose water plan, and that the liberated slaves should be clothed and fed, and not permitted to fight against their old oppressors. The relations between the retiring Secretary and Mr. Stanton are of the most cordial cha racter. Mr. Stanton has been the legal ad viser and confidential friend of Secretary Ca meron from the organization of the A iminis tration. They breakfasted together, with a number of friends, at General Cameron's resi dence, yesterday morning. During all of Sa turday General Cameron remained at the De. pertinent, but refused to transact any business save that which was necessary to Government operations. OcoAstoltir..

The commanding general, therefore, deems it necessary to direct that, unlosa by reason of sick nese, upon medical cortifieate, no leaves of absence or furloughs shall be granted at the present time, except' in urgent and exceptional oases, whore the necessity for the indulgence must bo clearly set forth in the application. ,( It is proper to remark that many of tbo reasons for which loaves of absence and furloughs have heretofore boon granted, cannot now be allowed."

The important States of Canoe, Antioqula, and Santander were yet out of the power of the usurper, and Boyeen was full of guerillas. Generals Barns and ACOSTI, sent there by MOSQUER.A, had been twice defeated. The guerillas of CUNDINAMARCA, who defeated the rebel Gen. VICTOIIIA, had disband ed or retired. Gen.

Still Another Division from Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvanians in Washington are greatly pleased with the proposition of Governor Curves to the War Department, that the eight regiments of infantry and one of cavalry now in the State, should: embark at Philadelphia for some destination South where they may have immediate and active Service. That after placing in the Sold over ono hundred thousand men, more than any State in the Union, and arming end equiping them in a most perfect and creditable manner, the brave old Keystone should offer to do still more, indeed to furnish—now thit she has filled her quota end all other States exhausted, at least for the present—an entire ex pedition, is a fact which nntst reflect the highest honor upon her loyal and patriotic people. The energy which Governor Guam has per sonally exhibited from the beginning of the war, in the raising and equipment of regiments, is the subject of universal compliment. Should the proposed expedition be authorized by the Government, there is no doubt but that it will prove as disastrous to the rebels as any that has been sent against them When Pennsylvanians strike they make the blow felt.

The Army Appointments The Senate Committee on Military Affairs hoverer several weeks past been engaged in the examination of the 1,300 or 1400 army appointments, of all grades, niado by the President during the recess, and which have been submitted by him for confirmation. Early this week, the Senate will °ashler, in executive session, such of them as have reColved the favorable action of the committee. The number of brigadier generals is nearly seventy, including the recent ap pointments of M. T. T. DANA, of Minnesota, and JAMES SHIELDS, of California. All the brigadier generals will now be recommended for confirma tion, with the exception of twelve or fourteen, and these will ho reserved for further consideration by the committee. It is believed that good habits and morale, as much as competency and bravery, have not been overlooked in the examination of all the appointments. In some eases of doubt, the com mittee have been voluntarily supplied with docu ments to aid them in coming to a favorable conclu aion. The Jail of the District Complaints have been made relative to the jail regulations of Col. LAKON, Marshal for the histrict of Columbia, who acts under the advice of high legal authority. It appears that the reasons for the regulations have either been misunderstood or his motives not known, in requiring members of Congress to procure passes from the President. of the Senate or Speaker of the /food., It was to facilitate rather than to obstruct their entrance into that heretofore unattractive institution, by thus making known to the prison guards the official standing of the visitors, and securing their prompt admission.

Seven companies of the NOW York Second 'Regi ment were on a reconnoissance last:tight from New port News, and drovo in the enemy's piekets and discovered their positions at a distance of 12 mites from Camp Butler. They brought in a lame man who had hitherto enjoyed the proteetion of our troops in consequence of his infirmity.

Probable Retreat of the Rebels from Bowling Green CIVCIIINATI, Jun. 19.—A special despatch to tho Commercial from Indianapolis Bays that four Indiana regiments in the Green river column have advanced to the south of Carrollton, and will soon occupy Rochester. This is directly in front of Bowling Green. General Buell is concentrating a powerful force at Green river, and it is said that ho is now ready for a forward movement. The rebels at and about Bowling Green are de stroying the railroad, felling trees norms the track, and doing everything to retard the progress of our army. It is said that they are making every pre paration to evacuate that place on the approaoh of Our army. All Quiet—A Freshet Loursvinix, Jan. 19.—A1l is reported quiet be low.

A good audience attended the announced per formance of the ‘•Barber of Seville," on Saturday night, and, considering the condition of the streets, the Academy NM well patronized. It was soon evident that the artistes had bean delayed, and Mr. George Hood was compelled to bog the patience of the people. A good orchestra amused them until ten o'clock, when Mr. Hood announced that the New York train had broken down near Borden town. The same opera was promised for Saturday night nest, with tho fourth act of " Trovatore." The people went away good-naturedly. At the Walnut, to-night, Barney Williams' spec teenier drama of the Lakes of Killarny " will bo produced, with new scenery and the full strength of the company. Um.

The Federal Force in Missouri Large bodies of troops are still Motioned at all the prominent points on the Paeine Railway, and presume there are at present not less thou fifty thousand Federal soldiers in Missouri.

Gan. liallcelt, in whom much confidence Booms felt here, is actively, though very quietly, engaged in preparing the greater part of our forces for the laud expedition to Columbus; but some weeks must elapse, I suppose, before everything is ready. "Slow but sure" is a good motto; but we have had so much slowness, with co little aunty, lately that I do not 'sondes the people clamor for a trifle more of rapidity. MOROI must believe in the old Teutonic apho rism, "Speech is silvern, but silence is golden ;" fur be is as reticent of his plans and opinions as the first Egyptian Ptolemies are respecting the intoxi cating properties of lager bier.

Trenchant, arrived at the navy yard en 'Friday evening. It is the intention of the (fowl meat to have tide vessel altered into a first-class gunboat, and the work of alteration was to be done at our yard. Is, cousequenCe of the strike of the ir en, and tho determination expi °seed by them not to yield, a de spatch was received front Washlngtoo on Saturday even ing by Commander T time, to order the Rhode Island to proceed et once to Boston to be altered as above speci fied. The men were set to work at once to '• coal up," and the vessel a as expected to leave yesterday afternoon. Dr. King, of Newport, B. 1., who had been to fticnmond to secure the release of his eon, is on board the Rhode Island, having in charge the young man ho proceeded to rebeidorn for. 'Young Mr. King was badly wounded at rho battle of Bull Bun, and he ia very ill indeed, fie has suffered wore than mortal tongue can tell. Among those on board aro six individuals who belonged to tine rebel army. They spliced the guns of their bat tery, and then sought refuge in rim loyal navy, where they were received and kindly treated. The moat distinguished traitor on board is George J. Make, captain of the Brag art Guards, third battalion of Louisiana Volunteers. Be was stationed at Portsmouth, Va., but obtained %furlough to visit his mother in Louisi ana. Whit° on a visit to hie parent, ho and a party went on a gaining excursion on board the stoop bYoricialwhon he woe captured oy one of our boats. A large number of loyal officers of the U. S. navy came as passengers on beard the Mode Island. Over one hundred and teenty skilful workmen are now employed in the Pennsylvania Works, Chester, mostly upon Government work. A number of the workmen are engaged in constructing steam machinery for the side wh, el gunboat Para Jones, the hell of which 13 being built in Baltimore. Tho work le far advanced, and is ra pidly approaching completion. The firm is also engaged upon steam machinery for a screw Propeller for Clyde's line of transportation ateamers between Philadelphia and New York. This work is almost completed and re Ay to be pieced in the hull, which Is now in an advanced state of construction at the ship yard of Mr. Jacob Ststx, a ,short distance from the Pennsylvania Works. They are also building, for the same parties, an iron propeller tug boat. This tug is nearly finished, and awaiting favorable weather for launching. The steamship Nattier end the entailer steamers Beverly and Bristol, also of Clyde's line, are at the Works, undergoing extensive alterations and repairs. Welearn that the firm has just closed a contract for a powerful tugboat for portion in the East, to rrin on the Connecticut river. Tile extensive piers which they are now erecting on the north side of their property will, when completed, form a large and safe deafer the recap tion of vessels while receiving their now machinery or undergoing repairs. In regard to the it striking men, " many of them have evinced a desire to return to their work tide morning. It is more than probable that tome of them will find it "too late." They have badly treated Commander Turner, a Food friend to them, who gave them excellent advice on Wednesday, which they should have taken. The strike has not yet had any effect upon the employees at the Brooklyn navy yard. If the Brooklyn men give heed to the counsels of the Philadelphia men, it is to ho feared that the naval department of the service will suffer very considerably. Although the purchase of vessels by the naval authorities has ceased, there re yet au immsnse amount of work to be got through, which ought to be completed within the next six or sight wooke, but v. bleb cannot be done if any disturbance occur among the employees. MARTIAL JOTTINGS.—During the week squads and battalions of soldiers have passed through our city on their way to wPisie." They were entertained at the Volunteer Refreshment Saloons. There parties pass 'through at almost all hours, day and night, and never fail to Nish both Worms, ',there they are always heartily welcomed. There are committees in attendance all night at these places. One of the squads that passed through at three o'clock, a morning or two since, was under the command of Captain Paulding, a grandton of ono of the patriotic trio who captured Major Andrei jp the days of The lemons And:tail Regiment, now on duty on the I , OIOIIIIIC, at Camp Pierpont, are not mite full.

After thy presentation, tho calkers of the regiment and attaches of the railroad company partook of a collation. The AIM of $BlOO7 has been handed over to tho Cooper shop Volunteer ttarestunent Committee as their share of the proceeds of the ball given by the employees of the Milted States Arsenal. T..j. Novioll, tho Janitor of the Nati, not Guards' Ball, throw MT BM of the rot t of the building. We presume that tho same nom was handed over to the Union Saloon. The funetal of James Diemen, who mot Ills death by ACcldetst, about the middle of the week, took place yester day afternoon at 2 o'cicek. from his late real ebee on Germantown road and Columbia a%enue. Ifs was a member of the Curtin Ihnbars and his funeral was at tended by a part of the regimen t. The regiment of Colonel J. Richter Jones (the Fifty eighth) nes suddenly fined to the standard number by six hundred men mho comet° the city from Camp Cur tin, at Harrisburg, on Friday evening. The men obtain ed their suppers and bre altfabt at the Refreshment Saloons, and on t 4 atnnlay most of them metaled to camp. Colonel Jones' rainy has been removed from its locanon nt Itoxl,nrough ton much )miter cite on Ridge avenue, just at the terminus of the Ginned College passenger Rail way. In the same vicinity •T Comp Henry" is still lo cated, and the white touts are a feature of the neighbor hood. The regiments now in camp around the city are nearly full. Colonel Gregory expects to receive marching orders in afore days. Ills regiment is will equipped and armed, and it is expected that it will be ordered to Kentucky. The other regiments will be filled by Governor Curtin, ho will send Men from the interior to the city regiments, no that they will retain their organization. A report is in circulation that smallpox colds in Camp Obertenfter, (near the Diamond Cottage, Camden). We are assured by the surgeon of the regiment that the report Is entirely unfounded. There is not now, nor has there been, a Cline of ammll•pox or yarioloid in the camp or among the alen since its formation. The Volunteer Relief Commission have eiricken from the list of the recipients of their bounty all persons who represented soldiers who hiGo hot a single individual de. Pendent upon them. The effect of this move has been to reduce by two thousand the number of persona receiving aid. The reason given P r this step is, that the pay re. cciyed by a so tiler is euillcient to enable him to support, out of his saviors, any single. individual who is dependent upon Min, and lie has no right to expect the public to do that which he falls to do bitneelf. The Commission still continuo to pay a weekly stipend to families. There was much num Waldo imposition practiced upon the Com mission, and the recent move has broken up mocha of this abuse. Some of those who are cut off by the new ar rangement complain bitterly; but the movement of the Commission strikes us as being reasonable and jolt in its general operation under the circumstances. A 'MILITARY IMPOSTER IN TROVBLE.--DaTid Fisher atlas Wm. Showers came to this city several days ago, quite rugged and destitute looking, and applied for a position es cook at a recruiting station belousing to Colonel lyle's regiment. The recruiting officer informed him that they had engaged all the cooks they wanted, but ho could enlistas a private if he so desired. Ile did so, and woo goon after comfortably clothed In tho regi mental uniform. Finding the officers very anxious to recruit one or two hundred men, he made up a very plausible story, Mating that tie lived in Pittsburg, where three were acmes of rolling-mill men Idle, and wining to enlist. lie stated that be could enlist to enty men him self, and if ho failed be would give his head for a foot ball. The regimental °Maps held a meeting, and de termined to send a lieutenant to Pittsburg with Fisher, NA Mai was accordingly done. Instead of recruiting men, bon ever, ho found out Nihon the Showers family resided, and was having a "good time" palming himself off us their son. The lieutenant wont to the major on Satur day morning, and admitted that lie bed been badly hum burp d by Either, and he had been unable to recruit a single man In explanation of this singular conduct, Fisher stated that /to became acouninted with Wm. Showers nt Fort McHenry ; that ho left tint in Baltimore, before going to Philadelphia, and was requested by him to visit his father And mother, And represent himself as 11111 Showers, to see if they mould know him! Ito said ho did not think he had done Any harm, at it was alt a joko ! Theta was nobody but himself, however, that seemed to appreciate the joke—and the lieutenant nes particularly mortified at the ruhrally treatment which tie bad received. 111,, nest trouble was to know what to do with Oda prodigal son." Ito had committed no offence known to law, although the Showers fatuity were justly lucensed, and anxious to see him punished. Mayor Drain com mitted bins to jail, to an alt the departure of his lieutenant, mho will bring him back to ibis city.

That of Common Councils, however, has finally been adjusted, at which the public is not likely to suffer any SETY severe pang of disappointment. The contested seats hare been dettomined In favor of Messrs. Brink, worth and Iltilseman, the Democratio candidates. The committee to whom the matter wee referred by Common Council hare had quite a number of meetings, and the fraudulent character of the army vote being admitted, the contestants netted for the opening of the boxes and a recount of the votes. The committee deemed such a COllllO but just, but required that proper specifications and aMdavits of fraud should be first presented.

Both sides will, of comae, be represented at this meet ing; and while the railroad companies, who find salt cheaper than muscle and shovels ' will contend th at salt is the sovereignest thing on earth for the human health, and absolutely preservative of shoe leather, the oppo nents of the system will rnotaftilly hold that ft is the chtefeet promoter of dtptheria, throat diseases, cold feet, damaged hoofs, And ruined carriage -tires. There is a greai, difference of opinion among medical men as t the effects produced by salting the streets. Some contend that Hoe salt, when mixed with the snow, manure, and dirt which coven the streets, gives otT a vapor unhealthy to breathe ; others are of an opposite opinion. In Nosy York, after the Tallest investigation, the practice has been positively prohibited na In the highest degree detri mental to the public health, and, from present appear ances, the same course will be taken la this city.

Joins Barger ran for the office of constable, received some votes, and claimed an election. Ma offered Ng securities, w bleb were accepted by Judge Allison. The two bona file constables appeared before Judge Allison on Saturday, when the 111,01/0 facts were developed. They complained that any action Jilin Borger might take as constable would ho entirely illegal, and involie himself, his securities, and other parties, In a great deal of trouble. Judge Allison remembered something of this case, and he expressed the belief that he had been deceived. Had this ease been properly laid before him, ho certainly would not have juittflel the Securities. The only alternative left him one to cancel the hood, and ho at once made an order of mart to this cited, staling, at the same lime, that Mr. John Barger could bring the sultioCt to the attention of the court, if he thought proper.
