Captain 'Fisher, of the Signal Corps, formerly of the lid lleserves, tells the story of a picket conver sation, overheard by him recently across the -Rap pahannock. " Milt did you steal that coat for?" Enid a Union soldier to a Confederate picket oppo- Site, who had on an overcoat made for the 'United states army. What did you run away and leave it foil" said the ready Secesh. "'Where are you going now?" continued the Secesher. "To nick piondi" was the reply. "You'll have ad—d Long street to go through, two 'Hills' to crawl up, and a 'Stonewall' to climb," was the answer. .This was not impromptu, but it witticism currant among the Confederates, borrowed from n Western paper. So ciable commonplaces are constantly exchanged across the river by pickets where the contracted width permits the voice to be heard. Morning in quiries after the health are made, and solicitude ee pressed as to each having slept warm the night pre vionsly. This last is now an urgent subject in both armies. REALTII OF THE ARMY In this army great complaints are made against the little shelter tents, which answer well in sum mer to keep oil dew and morning chill, but arc very insufficient in cold weather. They . are very thin and admit rain, engendering colds among many sol diers. A great proportion of • a regiment may be seen during a frosty night sitting' by camp fires ut terly unable to sleep with comfort. A remedy adopted is for three to crowd themselves into one of these tents, intended only for two, and to stop each end with a piece of canvas, the whole being covered with boughs. The blanket of each man being spread over all gives a thickness of three blankets, and to this is added the overcoat of each upon himself, and warmth is engendered. This, however, is soon accompanied by an atmosphere foul almost to sidibeation, and fevers are speedily created among, those thus sleeping. It is vehe mently urged by some that three extra wagons to each regiment would carry all the Sibley or wedge tents necessary, and with reduced regiments but 4wo wagons would be required. This additional trans portation would be recompensed by added health and the decrease of men unfit for duty. 'On the ether hand, it is said that the sanitary condition of the army was never better. Napoleon remarked that when he could reduce the sick of his army to ten . .per cent. on the whole number he considered his men remarkably healthy. The Per mango of sick in the Army of the Potomac is somewhat below that number. Colds rind rheumatism are the now prevailing diseases, and each rain creates new pa tients. Snow and the subsequent dampness would be very deleterious. These will soon come. PENIs:STLYANTA RESERVES A visit to the Pennsylvania Reserves, in afeade's Division, Reynolds' Army Corps, proves them sadly reduced in 'numbers since last 3 - ear at this time, when, in the numerical strength of recent recruit ment, they were encamped near Washington, undo Gen. McCall. The regiments now average but about four : hundred men each, and the Ist Rifles, or llticktails, muster but two hundred men. This re giment is now commanded by Capt. Dennis McLee. The Ist Infantry of the Reserves is now under charge of Capt. Wm. Cooper Fally; 2d, Col. Wm. McCandless ; 3d, Col. Horatio P. Sickel ; 4th, Lieut. Col. R. H. Woolworth ; sth, Col./ W. Fisher ; 6th. Major W. H. Ent ; 7th, Col. H. C. Bolinger; Bth, Major S. M. Bailey ; 9th, Lieut. Col. Robert An derson ; 10th, Lieut. 001. A. J. Wafner ; 11th, 001. Thos, , F. Gallagher ; 12th, Col. M. D. Hardins. Gen. Meade's Division, in addition to these, comprises of rennsylvania regiments, the 121st, COI. Chapman Biddle, and 142 d, Col. R. P. Cummins, together with the Batteries A, 13; and G, of the Ist Pennsylvania Artillery, commanded severally by Lieut. John G. flimplkon, Copt. T. H. Cooper, and Captain F. P. Anunien. To these may be added Battery 0, sth United Stites, Capt. D. R. RallBolll, who is chief of Etrtil ry for the division. °TRIM. PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENTS In Reynold's Army Corps may also be found the 156th Pennsylvania, Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Hoffman, in Doubleday's division; the 107th Penn- Slylvania, Colonel T. P. McCoy; the 90th Pennsyl- Vania, Lieutenant Colonel Wm. A. Leech ; the 136th . Yennsylvania, Colonel Thos. M. Bayne; the 11th Pennsylvania, Colonel Richard Coulter; and 84th Pennsylvania, Colonel Gecirge P. McLean, in Gib bons' division. To these, among batteries from other States, in this division, we may add Battery F, Ist - Pennsylvania Artillery, Lieut. B. Bruce Ricketts and the Independent Pennsylvania Battery of Call tain James Thompson. The 68th Pennsylvania, recruited in Philadelphia musters now but 278 men, 200 only of which could be used in battle, the remainder being necessarily detailed for other duties., There are 200 men from this regiment now in hospital, and 37 .sick and con valescent in camp. This regiment, in common with Others of Gibbons' division, badly want shirts, stockings, and shoes, and, though requisitions have been repeadedly made on Washington, cannot yet get them, Overcoats and blankets they are sup plied with: Col..llleLcan has lately been sick, but is now in command. His brother, the lieutenant colonel, having been killed, Major Gile replaces him, bu.t is at present absent, wounded. Captain Griffith is Sow acting major, and the adjutant, as heretofore, is Lieut. Bennet Foust. Eight sergeants hare been promoted to second lieutenancies since the regiment was formed. The 11th Pennsylvania, Col. Coulter, encamped adjoining the 68th, musters but 340 men fit for duty. OE N. STONEMAN'S COMMAND The 3d Army Corps, now commandedby Brigadier General Stoneman, may be called-a sight good for iveak eyes. It is the largest in the Army of the Potomac, and contains many new and full ree,i meats, which are yet thideelmated by battle. This Is a novelty, where many regiments in other corps are but a handful, and where a captain may often be seen drilling a company of eight or ten. In this corps are the following Pennsylvania regiments : 67th, Colonel ('has. I'. Campbell; 63d, Colonel A. S. N. Morgan; 68th, Colonel A. H. Tippin ; 99th, Col. Asher S. Leidy 103 d, Colonel A. A. McKnight; 114th, Colonel Chas. H. T. Collis ; 14ist, Colonel Henry .1. Mattillail in Brigadier General D. B. Birney's division, together with Battery 1), Ist Pennsylvania, Capt. Michael Hall, among the Itrtil lery. The 26th Pennsylvania, Lieut. Col. Tilghman, and 115th Pennsylvanin, Colonel Robert E. Patter- Son, etc in Sickles' division. The 84th Pennsyl vania, Colonel S. M. Bowman; 110thrennsylvania, Colonel William D. Lewis, and Md Pennsylvania, Colonel Emlin Franklin, may be found in General Whipple , e Division. For picturesqueness of cos tume among these regiments, as also for fine physique, we may notice the 114th, known as Collis' Zounves. Colonel Collis is spoken of by his su periors as en nide officer, and being thesenior colonel of General Ilobinson's Brigade, would naturally succeed Min in the brigadier generalship, in case of his trans fer to hnot her sphere of duty. Col. Collis has already n number of times been temporarily in command of the brigade. The father of the Colonel holds the position of quartermaster. With the ex ception of a rheumatic attack suffered by .Tateutenant Newlin, and a slight fever by Ser geant Major Cullen, officers and men are In good health, and much occupied at leisure moments In procuring eatables not enumerated among army rations. As is the ease in all volunteer regiments, officers as well as men readily carry these welcome loads, and] encountered young Captain Bowen, 9,f the Zounves, on his return from Falmouth, with eight loaves of bread under his arms. An army would, be miserable if it was well fed. It would die of ins rition during the idleness of camp life. Procuring a variety, beyond the usual rations, healthily occupies Its mind, and is about the only subject it thinke of, I will enumerate the comestibles issued by the Go vernment during a campaign, and called " fighting rations:'' Salt beef, salt pork, hard crackers, sugar, and coffee. When access to a depot is obtained, fresh beef Is procurable; also, beeps, rice, tea, vinegar, walt, molasses, dessicated potatoes, slessicated miscellaneous vegetables, fresh pota oes, and somet Imes, though rarely, flour. As this fist is seldom seen, a main object of research is fresh bread. EVery house is besieged by purchasers, and the inmates compelled, by importunity, to bake all the flour they can spare. Butter and milk are also much sought for, and poultry, hogs, sheen, fruit, and vegetableS, when not paid for. are stolen. This last bus been the general rule lately, among privates, but the heartless and unprincipled manner in which it has been often done may be ascribed, to neglect of the Government in not recently paying the army. This Ia owing, either to :a necessary de lay attending the manufacture of new paper money, or to a desire that rebellious Virginia shoidd nut be enriched by the passage of Union soldiers. A large majority of the men would readily purehfise rather than steal, if they had money, but Food they will have, by atul means, if . not by fair. Collis' Zouaves are, in general, very healthy. But few are sick, and two privates only have died since they left Philadelphia. To the=n Must be added the lose of the highly esteemed Lieut. Henkel, whose late melancholy death, by typhoid fever, has been tilready noticed in your columns. One cause of the health of this Philadelphia regiment is, that they are city men. Recruits from cities in- Variably bear the hardships and epidemics of camp Mite better than those from ()country districts. A man from the country has led a regular life. lie has eaten three regule r meals, gone regularly to a warm ,bed by nine o'clock, and risen with the dawn. He area also breathed pure air, and is the more suscep tible to malaria or a tainted atmosphere. A City man, by habitual/3 , breathing poisons, has rendered his lungs less sensitive to noxious gases, and the irregular hours he has kept, with a constant exposure, has hardened him :against the vicissitudes of campaigning. In Sickles' division of thin corps may be found the sth, 6th, '7th; and Bth New Jersey, coinmanded%respectlvely by Colonels Sewall and Burling, Lieutenant Colonel Francine and Col. Johnson. Gen. Stoneman, in command of these many fine regiments, is a tall, slightly built man of thirty-so- Ven, who graduated at West Point in 1840, and till the present war broke out was a cavalry officer, al itnost incessantly engaged in fighting Indians upon the Pacific coast. He varied his military service by a period of foreign travel, and has well employed leisure hours in mental culture. The impression he gives is that of a man with high powers 'of 'mind, well versed in hie profession, a keen analyst Of character and ability in others, an enlightened thinker and experienced mart of the world. As An offbet to this, his eye is a little morose, and Ito has occasionally offended subordinate officers by Uncalled-for asperity. Both himself and Kearney hitve been spoken of as cavalry officers who would /lave given the rebels Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee but little chance for laurels. When we need a fu ture commander-in-chief we may lOolt with compla,. Cency on Stoneman. He may not, like Burnside and McClellan, have the popular manners to win all hearts, butt he largely possesses the qualities for a great general. His assistant adjutant general is Capt. A. (l. Alexander, late of the 3d United States tffivalry, an amiable and able officer. He numbers also on his staff' Dr. Geo. L. Pancoast, Medical di rector; Capt. Wm. E. Morford, chief quartermaster; Capt. Geo. If. Wood, conunissitry Lieut. •A. V. Sumner, son of the well-known general, serilor aid dc-cntnp ; Lieut. Walter C. aid-de-camp ; and Capt. L. L. Livingston, °lila of artillery. To his surroundings may be added a very pretty bugler boy. with a heavily-laced coat, who was kept by Gen. Kearney Ws pet about his person, and who is a privileged character in his new quarters. SUTLEPS COME TO GRIEF The army sutlers have recently come to grief. Upon reaching the present encampment they pur chased ntunerous stores at Washington, but, to their dismay, found that the War Department suddenly had forbidden their being forwarded, under plea that they occupied space upon steamboats and in cars that was needed for Government transportation, and that their wagons encumbered the roads and delayed the passage of those belonging to the army. The sutlers are thus nearly bare of goods, and, with a constant demand, cannot obtain what they have purdinstql, which lies idle at Washington and Alex andria. Officers are thus reduced to simple army rations. They cannot buy butter, nor any other delicacies, to say nothing of whisky and tobacco. For the latter article the :way is now ravenous, and cannot be satisfied. It is the consolation of the lonely sentinel, and almost the only antidote with all, to the bore of camp life... The supposition that the profits of sutlers arc heavy is true, but they have many drawbacks. Goods sometimes remain Unsold, and often spoil; wagons. become damaged, and need repair, and, worse still, horses become sick or lame, and often prove a dead loss to their owners. .13ad debts arc sometimes also made. 11. - sutler's life, with a marching army, is one of con stant labor, anxiety, and risk. MOVE)CEN'PS Speculations are rife here regarding moiements, but nothing is known beyond the immediate circle of the Commanding General. Pontoons for two bridges arrived days ago, and a crossing was pro jected, but the discovery of the heavy force of the enemy necessitated a pause. It would take many hours for our large army to pass two bridges, and for a speedy concentration on the opposite side, six or eight bridges would be needed. In case of a retreat, also, the necessity of numerous routes for return would be imperative. 'Whether we descend the Rappahannock banks, and essay to cross at a lower point, protected by gunboats, or whether we take water transportation at Acquin creek for the Peninsula, is uncertain. The long-in dulged supposition that Banks would take his two army corps to the Peninsula, instead of to Texas, has been announced by New York papers. In that case, aided as he would be, by the force already there, it would seem that a Portion, if not the whole of this army, would be needed for a demonstration upon the north of Richmond, and continue the land route it lately contemplated. Statements at home, that Franklin's army corps is moving from Stafford Court House, as a preliminary to a general move ment, are untrue. It is still there. The detail of a brigade lately for picket duty may have given rise to this supposition. THE RAILEDAD OOMPLETED The railroad froth Acquth creek to Falmouth is repaired, and trains passed yesterday, for the first time, over Potomac run bridge, a lofty structure; three miles back of Falmouth. ABRTVAL OF ',win. BUR BIDE Mrs. Burnside•arrived here on a visit to the Gene rill last Wednesday, and returned with him to Washington last night. He is expected back to morrow. MISHAPS TO PENNSYLVANIANS Companies Cr and 0, of the 3d Pennsylvania On vnlry, commanded by Captains Johnson and Hess, were yesterday morning surprised at Hartwood Church, about six miles beyond Falmouth, while at breakfast, and unarmed, by about eight hundred of the enemy's cavalry, accompanied by four pieces of artillery: Company C]- was from Pittsburg. Four were wounded, one of whom a bugler, after he had surrendered, and twenty-five escaped.' The com panies numbered• one hundred men in all. Both commanders were taken, together with Lieutenants Warren, Hyle, and Inglehart, the only other com missioned officers. Colonel Mclntosh, commander of the regiment, started in pursuit. News of another casualty reaches us this morn ing. A detachment of 300 men, on picket duty, were captured by the enemy last night, near Big Ford, on the Rappahannock. They belonged to the 12th and 17th New York Regiments, in Col. Stockton's bri gade, Griffin's division, Butterfleld's 6th Army Corps, which, together with the 3d Army Corps, is under command of General Hooker. The mail mes senger from his headquarters brought the news that Gen. Hooker broke the sword of Col. Stockton, and dismissed him from the service. This may not be true, but, if so, the fault of Col. Stockton laid sillily in allowing an incompetent officer to command the men. He himself was not with them. The severity will be wholesome. It will cause commanders to be carefuYin the selection of proper officers for respon sible duties. PRISONERS AND TIMM COMPLAINTS . . _ I find that the prisoners in charge of- the provost guard, who lately suffered severely froth ekposure, and whose miseries were recounted in The Press, have disappeared; having partly gone to Washington, and partly been dismissed by Gen: Patrick,,the provost marshal of the army. The provost guard consists of five companies of the Bth Regulars; under command of Capt. Royal T. Frank, a young, but able officer. Each company is commanded by a lieutenant, the captains having become colonels of volunteer regi ments. Capt. Dye is colonel of the 20th lowa Regi ment, Capt. Coggswell of a New York Regiment, Capt. Bliss of the 7th Rhode Island, Capt. Hazen of nn Ohio Regiment, Capt. Lnzelle of one from Mas sachusetts, Lieut. Warner of a Vermont Regiment, and Lieut. Ferris of a regiment from Connecticut. Lieuts. Andrews, Carter, Worth, Cooper, and zen arc the only commissioned officers tinder Capt. Frank. Lieut. Worth is the only son of the de ceased general of that name, who was the first colo nel of the regiment upon its organization, in 1836. The present colonel, Morrison, is very old, and on liecruiting service. The other'tleld officers are Brta-. Mors; VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT The President took a trip down the Potomac, on Wednesday, to Acquin creek, fur the double ptirpose of relaxation from official duties and conference with General Burnside, tvho met him at that point. RUMORS OF AN ARMISTICE Unfounded reports are circulated to-dny, in camp, that an armistice of thirty days has been asked for by the rebels, and that General Lee ‘ has gone to Washington with proposals. Some even assert that he accompanied General Burnside there last even ing. Whether he .turned somersaults all the way is not stated. REBEL BAWI'IIWOTIKS It was found, yesterday, that about eight hundred. rebels Were "laboring 'at earthworks to the left of Fredericksburg," and upon our right, and had pladed in position, among others, a large 100-pound siege gun. Two tietachnients from the army corpS of 'Wilcox and Couch, amounting, together, to twelve hundred men, were therefore detailed, last night, to erect corresponding works under cover of darkness, though exposed to: the tire of the enemy's guns, Which, however, did not open upon them. ' Five gunboats are reported on the Rappahannock, °Km - . site King George Court House. • COLLIE' ZOUAVLS. • Major Chandler, of Collis' Zourives, goes to-day to Philadelphia, for the imrpose of recalling to duty about thirty soldiers .of the old company organiza tion commanded by Colonel Collis when a captain. Their excuse is, that they enlisted as a body guard to General Banks, and, being no longer.used in that capacity, arc entitled to discharge.. The contrary .view argues that they also enlisted in the service of the United States for three years, qnicss soon dis charged. The men are said chiefly to have returned to Philadelphia, in citizens' clothes; :unknown to their, officers. "'• 7 " . . . 'BRAGG'S ARMY ARIIIVED. A number of Northern ladies, visiting in Frede ricksburg, received passes, on Friday, to return home. They report the army of - Bragg as having fornied a junction with Lee, and that:the Secession feeling in Fredericksburg Is most violent. . N. FALMOUTH, Dec. I; 1862 REPORTS FROM RICHMOND On Friday night about 12 o'clock, while Capt. Byron l'icflutcheon, of the 20th Michigan Infantry, was on duty with two hundred merr,on the Washington Farm (the old 'Homestead of the Washington faint ly, about two miles cast of Falmouth, where George cut the famous cherry tree,) two rebel officers crossed the river in a skiff and delivered up themselves and arms, asking the protection of the stars and strlpea. They were well dressed and intelligent gentlemen ; One a captain in a Texan regiment and the other a derk in the (judder/mister's department in. Richmond. They left Richmond nearly three weeks ago, and have since remained secreted by an Irishman in FrederickSburg, only venturing about by night. MENGUE OF LEE'S ARICY—IS IT FALLING • RACK? The information which those ofßcers impart is .valuable, and contains matter confirmatory of and additional to that contained in youryesterday's de spatch. They agree that the rebel force at Frede rickahurg numbers from '75,000 to 100,000 men, and certainly has not exceeded the latter figure, and that, though' sutrering for want of clothing and many kinds of supplies, they are still apparently hopeful of final success. For once, however, Gen. Lee and his associates are puzzled over the movements of our army, which they do not sem e fully to compre.: bend, and have finally concluded the advance upon Fredericksburg to be a feint, designed to amuse Meru, while the main attack upon Richmond is to come from another quarter. Upon this theory, they now believe our force In front of Fredericksburg in reality to be small, and that immense 'hosts arc be ing embarked at Bellplaine, and conveyed in trans ports up ;fames river. Acting upon this idea, they hare commenced erecting earthworks bar theprotection of a garrison force, white the Milt body a/their army has again commenced moving toward Rtchmanif. TOTAL STRENGTH OF THE REBELS In addition to these facts of great present interest, the "Quarternuisteen Clerk states, from his own knowledge, that the entire rebel army has never ex cect/Ca 475,000 men, and this was the hir e :est number for which clothing and rittl9DS were ever required. SOUTILERN FEMALE A B.VP.:DON These officers were in Fredericksburg when the recent National cavalry dash was made, and state, that with a hundred more men we might have held the city until the arrival of more force. They men tion the case of one of our men who fought with desperate valor, and contended single-handed with five rebels, and wounded them all before being killed. His dead body was instantly stripped of clothing, and subjected to most barbarous indignities—the men kicking it In their rage, and the fetnnles—unworthy the name of women—spitting upon it as they passed by one woman, less inhuman than the rest, came out of the house and covered it with a' quilt Even Indian savages respect courage in an enemy ; but it has been reserved for Southern rebels to surpass in barbarism a rave proverbial for cruelty in war. RECONNOISEANCR TO IVNItIiEZ.iTON WASHINIiTON, Dec. 1. .A despatch was received this evening from Capt.' J. B. Conger, at Centreville, stating that lie hadjust returned from Warrenton, wherelie had been with a small force on a scout, and had 'driven out a few rebels, capturing a number of the Black Horso Cavalry, nine horses and a wagon.

LflMiMiY AND READING Room FOR CON VALKSOENT SOLDIETIS.—A rnong the many noble enterprises that Philadelphians have attempted; and of the success OC which they may be justly proud, is a library and reading room for the conva lescent soldiers who crowd the hospitals of our city. The idea was conceived by an earnest-hearted wo man, whose name will be read at hundreds of dis tant firesides by the relatives of those who enjoy its comforts, and who will never cease gratefully to re-' member to whom they are indebted for the benefits received. The old " Brickmakers' Church," in Twentieth street, above Chestnut, was obtained and put in thorough repairs through the liberality of the owner and of various mechanics who gave it their time and skill. It is now' a haven of rest, where -those poor soldiers who, maimed and with shattered constitutions, are temporarily among us can take refuge for a time from the sad associations of their hospital homes. • . The basement of the building has been converted into a reading room supplied with chairs and tables, where the men can read or write or play games, such as chess, backgammon, dominoes, &c. Adjoining the reading room is the library, where a committee of ladies is always in attendance, ready to give out books or to write letters for those who are disabled. On the walls of the larger room hang prints and maps, by the aid of which they "can fight their bat tles o'er again," or trace the fortunes of their com rades still in the field. The upper- story is used es a lecture and music room, in which are two pianos. This place has proved, and, it is hoped, }will still continue, a source of great attraction. On. Thursday afternoons .entertaining and instructive lec tures are delivered. The first was by the Rev. Dr. Newton, on Nineveh : the second by the. Rev. Dr. Goddard, on Character, and the third by the Rev. Dr. Jenkins. It is proposed that every few evenings an exhibition shall be given to alrit:l9C and instruct'the soldiers. There will be musle,Teeita- Dons, orations, dialogues in character, prestidigita tion, ftc., the entertainments being varied, so as to make them attractive as long as possible. Several such have already been given, and have mat with decided approval. -It is designed to erect in the rear of the'ehurch another building, for a smoking-room, and where they can be provided with good hot colibe, and refreshments of various kinds, at first cost, thereby saving to .themselves profits which would. go into other pockets. The rooms are open from 9 A. M. until 9 or 10 P. M. Ladies are always in attendance 'who are pleased to read or write for those who require and desire it. The gentlemen who, by their aid and countenance, have assisted. the directresses in carry ing out this undertaking, are as follows : President, Dr. Francis W. Lewis ; secretary, Mr.-Win. P. Ores son; treasurer, Mr. Geo. T. Lewis; managers, Messrs. C. J. StHle, Alexander Brown, FA. M. Hop kins; John H. Atwood, Gco. P. Smith, J. }featly . Dulles, Louis. H. Refiner, F. R. Starr, and B. S: Clarke. These names are alone sufficient to gua rantee the completion of this enterprise to qtte satis faction of all who are not disposed to be captious or hypercritical. The managers desire that all should visit this modest building, and by their sympathy and contributions help on the good work. MODS'S OP CITIZENS UNDER TILE DRAET— IAITORTANT DEctsiox.—A very important decision touching the rights of citizens under the draft has just been made at Harrisburg. "The case Was one in which the commissioner of Lancaster county had drafted an excess of men over the quota of his county. John Markley, one of this excess, waS brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, to test the legality of excess of the draft. The judge, in a very, elaborate opinion, in which the merits of the ques tion were discussed in every, particular, decided that the draft over the quota was illegal and void, and that the prisoner be discharged. There is an other pent in this decision, however, whin is im portant, and which will prove interesting to substi tutes. Those of the men thus drawn in excess, who accepted' the draft, and procured substitutes, it is decided that such substitutes can be held for the ser vice into which they voluntarily entered: The deci sion in the case of Markley will not affect the ease of any substitute. Such substitution was voluntary, and the substitute is regarded, to all intents and purposes, as a volunteer, regularly enlisted and sworn into the service of the country. . The MC was ably argued - by Attorney General Meredith and R. A. Lamberton, Esq., for Govern ment, and J. C. Bullitt, Esq., of Philadelphia, and Messrs. Amweg and Dickey, of Lancaster, for the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Robt. Wate had a further healing, yesterday afternoon, before Mail:- man Beitler, on the charge of robbery. It was al leged that he stole from a cellar, in Third street, near Chestnut, three baskets of champagne and 16,000 ci gars, and that he stole from 219 Arch street a barrel of turpentine. He was held in $1,600 bail to answer both charges. . George Rankin and Josiah Bright, doing busineis• at No. 2 Decatur street, were brought before the same magistrate, and were charged, on the oath of C. M. Carpenter, with" shoflng " counterfeit money. Mr. Carpenter is a telegraphic operator in the 2d police district, and was detailed by the lieutenant to pro ceed to To. 2 Decatur street, for the purpose of pur- Chasing a lot of the "queer." Re went there and inquired for Mr. Rankin, who was then out oftown, but ivOuld be at home on the next day. Accordingly, he proceeded on the following day, and bought five notes on the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Kent county, Chestertown, Maryland—denomination, $5. For this batch a five-dollar'" green-back" was paid. He again called, and... Rankin inquired if he would not like to buy a new note, as one hadjust come out. Another " greeri.back" was given for what purport ed to he twenty-five dollars' worilrof notes on Cuy , let's Bank of Palmyra, New York., A: lot of'notes on the Farmers' Bank of Readirt: was also pin , eliased, and an lagreerdent.ivas made to buy-for $lB notes to the amount of $lOO. Before the agreement was consummated, Rankin and Bright were con fided to the tender mercies of the police. Both were committed in default of $5.000 bail. Yesterday morning ; •Ilarty McMinn Was before Alderman Hager upon the - charge-of the laiveity of a gold watch and chain, a military coot, awl an oVer coat. The articles belonged to a Spaniard, and were taken from the Port Royal Saloon, on Fourtliztreet. Theaccusedwas arrested at, Second and Race streets aid time coati were found inn restaurant in that 11! cinity. McMinn was held in $2OO bail to answer. A man, named Got tlieb Righter, was stabbed in the back, just below the shoulders, about eleven o'clock on Monday, on Richmond street; near Hunting ingdori.

ARREST , OF DESERTERS.—The business of arresting deserters from the ranks of the drafted men has of 'late become a profitable business with the provost guard. The plan of the drafted men who desire to escape the service .is to leave the city, seek some of the near railroad stations, and there take the trains for whatever locality they desire to reach in order to .cheat the Government out of the service they owe. This has been carried on to such an extent, and the service suffered so severely in men, that the most stringent measures have been adopted to frustrate the designs of the drafted men, and arrest all who arc detected in the act of desert ing.

THE. UNITED STATES 'NAVAL FORCES. CONFISCAM.Y.I United St - at - ekes. Cotton, Rosin, iv:o.- 7 A most In- teresting and novel prize question was presented in this case—one that has never before been raised in any admiralty court of the - United States_ sitting as a prize court. The property - abetted was captured on the. sounds on the North Catolina coast, and. oil land at the capture, of Newbern by the naval - forces of .the United States under command of Commodore Rowan. The 'cotton' had been used in the construe.; tion of the rebel fortifications at that place and in defence of the town. The resin, tar,' turpentrn . k . : &c., were found collected in Newborn:after the place had been occupied by the military and naval forces. It was libelled - by the Government as lawful prize of war. A portion of the. naVal- stoles, rosin, &c., was claimed by a person professing loyalty to the United States. No claim was,;inade to the rest of the property. - Application was made, by the - United States district - attorney for its 'cvmdcmnation as law- fel prize, and Messrs. henry knti•lTer6ilith were as-,- 'signed by the court to represent the interest of :abu sent parties who might be owners. f. Hubley Ashton, Esq.. assistant Vnited States district attorney opened the - argument for' the United States. The questions raised in ;the case were: Ist. Whether the prize court had jurisdiction to entertain. a libel against personal property cap tured on bind by the naval forces of the United States after the capture of the town in the hostile occupation of the enemy? 2d. Whether, if The court has jurisdiction, Such property is confiscable? On-these Points "the decisions of the English courts on the jurisdiction of the High Court of Ad..: miralty _were cited, .showing that. that court. may condemn Prizo property of an enemy on - land 'after the reduction or capitulation of the Place) where the property is found in Amstile occupation. On the question of the confiscability, the point presented was whether, after the capture of a place in one of the seceded States, the forces of the United -States have the right to take the property of one of ' the citizens of the place found on the land. It was shown that no case had occurred - in foreign wars where personal property takeityagranfc belle by .the enemy had been - restored, and it was contended that the tame rule Of confiscation applied to captures in a.eivilas in a foreign war. Mr. Meredith argued that theinquiry of . the court should be directed to the question of whether the claimant here was n loyal citizen of North eitrolina at the time of capture, and if It was demonstrated that the property of a loyal citizen, though captured in a hostile place, could not be condemned, then it was the duty of the court to refrain from condemna tion until the loyalty of the Aliplit parties could be ascertained. - . - Messrs. Samuel Dickson andcJohn C. Bullitt, who appeared'far tlg : 4lofilint, took ground, against the jurisdiction of-the court in cases of captures'of per sonahproperty on land, and denied the right of con - demnation, cltirig. the Moderavusages and laws of nations as adopted by civilized rations. . United Statesithitriet AttorOy Georg9-A.Uolrei contended that the court could not enter into. the in.. quiry of whether the:naval f4rces were right in making the seizure ; that theY•were the judges of the necessity of the capture, and the. question was whether property thus taken could be confiscated. -. The court condemned the cotton, but reserved Its decision as tothe rest of the property To the Eilitor•of The Press: ti • Sin . : We are pleased to learn that two companies of the Continental Cavalry have been mustered into service with the folloiving.offfeers r Company A— Captain, Wm.

The first care was performed nearly three years ago, the second was performed nearly two years ago, the third about oue year, and hundreds more of like cases might be shown. READ TILE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. About twelve months ago I had a severe attack - of Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al-. though I • drank gallons per day, lay thirst was never allayed: 1 was only able, to sleep at short iutervals, which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my mouth and throat haul become so parched and feverish, that I was in constant misery. I was also sneering from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nan sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and su prostrated wits my general system, that was scarcely able to moveabout. I had availed myself of the science and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo pathic and Hunuropatitic school, and exhausted their catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief. In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para., . lyged, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the use of Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in curing disease, and placed myself under his treatment; and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, iu two operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other di Ili, cul ties soon disappcared ; my appetite has returned, sleep undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one Made anew. I would further state that I have seen other remark:- able cures performed by Prof. Bolles, and would advise the diseased to call at]a t , ' Walnut street, and he restored to health.. I shall be glad to give any one information calling on me. TilintAs HARitoe, . Rose Mill, West Philadelphia Philadelphia, May Ist, Read the following front a preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church, No. 1G3.3 Helmuth street, Philadel phia : In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only give some of the ninny symptoms which„taken altoge ther, were the must horrid ; and even medical men did not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How ever, Professor C. H. Bolles, by whom I was cured, lo cated my disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfeet cure iu eight applications. And I frankly admit that in eight applications of Electricity, administered by PrO fessor Bouss, 1220 Walnut street, Philadeirltia, 1 am perfectly cured ;'and to me this is must astonishing, for I had exhausted the catalogue of old-schoul remedies, and grew worse all the time. I hail long believed that in Electricity resided a potent agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could be made; nail now I can comprehend, front its powerful (ants on 'MC, for a speed y cure,. nit hough no shocks teem given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by magic. . I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of sugeringimmanity. .1 had dyspepsia, had taarastung, or wasting or the thisnes or the whole body ; at times it difficrilty Cl breathing., some palpitation of the heart, much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise, aversion to business and company ; at times gloomy, ion bility to collect my thoughts vigorously ou any subject. aloss'of memory, pain in various parts or the body ; suf fered touch from lumbago, derangisi secretions or the kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag ging pains in the lumbar region, and 'severe nervous din shims. I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re commend thin discovery of Professor BOLLES to Pito afflicted ofall classes. There seems to be no guesswork, no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. He proceeds on fixed principles,aud according to iixed laws, which seem to 21/e i !Ifni ibi e aml* harmonious.

About two years ago, while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with an attack of paralysis of the. lower extremities, which rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi cians to be found in that section, but received to appa rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen mouths was taken with a spasm, which One of my physicians pronounced a tit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from that time before I became the least COII6OOIIB of anything that lied transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or converse upon any subject without becoming very vi sionary and excited, until I placed myself under your rateable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia ror Mien noir T,•as .1 1 eil to tree Willa by a pamphlet banded me by icy fat - her, which continued tho names of some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted with. and whose statements I could rely Mien. I Imme diately made up my mind to place myself under your. treatment. I have now been the recipient of tour treat , molts, and I now feelperfectly satisfied that. I am re stored to a gonad condition, and Adore feel it my duty to gratefully acknowledge the 'benefits which I have're c‘i„,j2 through your treatment. veu respectfully yours, &c. • WILLIAM IT. slum, Publisher of the Ic;:tiona/ 3ferchant, office 12d South SECOND Street, Philiti::.4l,3l-ian N. B.—lt will be well for the diseagd to recollOCt that Prof.'l3. has given a word of cantion iu his pamphlet to guard them against trusting their health in the hands of those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to his discovery. This caution may 'seem severe on those using Blectncity at hazard, bnt it is the severity of truth, and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise ment in another column. Coneratation Free.

AYF ,R's CATHARTIC PILLS.—THE sciences of Chemistry and 3[edieiue have been taxed their utmost to produce this best, most perfect purgative which is known to man. Innumerable proofs are shown that these PILLS have virtues which surpass in excel= levee the ordinary! Medicines, and that they win unpre cedentedly upon the esteemed of all men. They are safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pene trating properties stimulate the vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions 'alloy organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul hu mors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate slug ish or disordered organs into their natural action, and hnpart healthy tone with strength to the whole system. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints or every body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled the best of inunan skill. While they pro duce powerful effects, they aro at the same tithe in dimi nished doses, the safest and best physic that can be em ployed forchiidren. Being sugar-coated, they are pi tlit sant to take ;and being purely vegetable, are free from any risk of harm. Cures have been made whiclisurpa.ss belief, were they not substantiated by men of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their names to certify to the public the reliabi lity of our remedies, while others have sent me the as surance of their convietion that our Preparations contri bute immensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-Inm The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis our American Almanac, containing directions for the use and certificates of their cures, of the following com plaints: COStiTellegP,BiliOUS Complaints, Rheumatism, Drowsy, Heartburn, I leadache, arising from a foul stomach, Nan sea; Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels and Pain arising therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite. all Dis eases which require an evacuant medicine. They also, by purifying the blood ar . id.stimulating the system, cure ninny complaints which it would not be supposed they could reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness, Neill ralgia and Nervous Irritability, Derang e ments of the Liver and Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers, with some Athol' Pill they make more profit on, Ask fur AYER'S PILLS, and take nothing else. No other they CAR' give' you comperes with this in Its intrinsic value or curative powers. The Sick want the best aid there is for them, and they should have IL. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
