FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1864. THB STATE. Enlistments in Pennsylvania for Other States. Important Proclamation from Governor Curtin. A PKOOLAMATION. Whereas, For some time past it has been known. that perron,, professing to be agent, of other State,, have been Dually tampering wltb our oltizens at borne and in the army, endeavoring, by false repre sentation,, to indues individual, to enter or re-enter from those States, and remonstrances have been in vain made against the continuance of this paltry system of seduction; . And whereas, Information ha, now been reeelved that one of the regiments of Pennsylvania has en listee almost bodily .« from ‘another Stale; and it appears to be necessary to take some publlo means to put our,citizen, on their guard against the arts by which result, so disastrous to the mea and their families may be effected in others of her regiments which Pennsylvania has delighted to honor; Acu\ therefore , I, Andrew G-. Curtin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do issue this, my proclamation, addressed to all citizens of the Commonwealth, but especially and emphatically to her veterans in the army, cautioning them against allowing themdslvesto be seduaed from her service. By enlisting inifegiments of other States, they de prive their families at home of that generous and liberal aid which'our law has provided for them’ as a right, and notas a charity; they will not enjoy the right of suffrage, which an approaohing amendment of the Constitution will give to our absent volun teers; they out themselves loose from the ties which bind them to their homes, and which bind Pennsyl vania to give them constant oare and assistance in the field, an obligation which our State has never neglected. If wounded or sick, they will no longer be fostered by our agent., and received with ap plause and consideration as men who have done honor to Pennsylvania; they bring the history of their regiments to an abrupt dose; their names will no longer be entered on our rolls;. all the glorious recollections oi their valor and .ufferinga will be weakened by the fact that they have abandoned their native State, deserted the great Common wealth under whose banner they have earned for themselves and for her the highest reputation for courage and all the martial virtues, and that they have done this under inducements whioh are in fast unfounded, and at the very time when their friends and neighbors at home were preparing for them bounties probably larger than those offered by other States, and certainly much larger, if the support af forded to their families be taken into account. I tbeiefore appesl to our noble volunteers not to abandon the Commonwealth. She has been proud of the glory which their course hitherto has shed abundantly on her. As a mother she has a right to the honors to be won in future by her children. Stand by her and she will stand by you, and you will have the richest reward in the grateful affec tions and sympathies of your families, your friends, your neighbors, and your fellow-oitizens. But if you leave her for the service of other States you throw away all these, for their people Will regard vou merely as meroenarise, and, when they have fuiflUed their bargains, will leave you and your families to sbiit for yourselves. Becolleot your homes, snd your families, and your friends, and the banners whioh you have carried so gloriously upon many a bloody Held, and which, defaced by shot and shell, but still bearing the names of the battles in which you have been distinguished, she has pro vided for receiving at the close of the war, and pre serving es holy relics ol your patriotism and devo tion to the cause of our common country. These thlngß are worth more to you and to your children than money. Do not grieve and disappoint your friends by abandoning them all. I take this occasion to enjoin ! upon all magistrates, district attorneys, and all other officers, a strict vigilance in enforcing the lews of this Common wealth against all persons who shall withinthts State attempt to recruit volunteers for other states. e ) G-lven under my hand and the Great ) X.

Your readers are already aware of the election of Dr. St. Clair to fill the vacancy occasioned by the continued -imprisonment of Harry White.

A large number of bills have passed ■the House, whioh are ready for the action of the Senate, REBEL RAIDS. The resolution relating to the paymentoTproperty destroyed by the rebel raids is still before the House) and the disousslbn upon it has assumed a wide range, talcing within it the whole ground oovered by the current politics of the day. The discussion has taken up three sessions, and Is in a fair oondi tion to use up a half dozen more. Several good speeohea have been made upon the Union aide. The rebuke administered by Smith, of Ohestgr, wllljlong be remembered by the Demooraoy. His speeob oo oupied over one hour, and satisfied, I have no doubt) every unprejudiced mind that the leaders of the De mocratic party are not in favor of a vigorous prose cution of the war until armed treason is driven from the country. lam no man-worshipper, and do not intend to use your columns for the purpose of pufiipg or abusing members of the Legislature. Tet I oannot refrain from expressing my conviotion that F. Frazer Smith is one of the best men of the age. Hia whole soul is wrapped up in his country. He knows no party or sect. He oan take any man by the hand who believes in giving the General Govern., ment all the resources of the country for the pur pose of conquering an honorable peace. And any man who Is halting between the Government and the rebellion oomes not up to his standard of a pa. triot. . Kelley, of Washington, the author of the reso* lution, made an able speech, whioh wa» an honor to him and the eauee he advocated. Mr. Kelley is a young man and a new member; but In hlr maiden epee oh, upon hie resolution, he exhibited a Know ledge of the ourrent history of the times, and ready, off-hand speaking talents, whioh will render him a valuable member. Messrs. Smith, of Philadelphia, Orwig, and Alle man, have made speeches in favor of the resolution, which have fully sustalued the position taken by the Union members; and having right upon their tide they, with masterly handß, brushed away the cobwebs which were thrown over the question by the Demooratio side. This debate la drawing out the new members, and I have no doubt that this Legislature will be fully equal to any that we have had for years, in point of speaking talent and gene ral intelligence. KEORUITINaf The city Is full of recruits. They are continually coming in from all portions of the State, and nearly every county will be clear of the draft by the Ist of March. Every returned veteran is better than a regular recruiting officer; they were furloughed at the right time. The war excitement is running as high, in many portions or the State; as it did in isei, which must have a glorious effect upon our armies in : the field, and not very consoling to Jefferson Davis & Co. ’ FRANK. KNOXVILLE. Condition of the Clty-l>reparatton» for Defence-Aajutant General Xltomae—Or ganization of Colored. Troops—Parson Browulotr. [Special Correspondence of The Press. 3 Krroxviixx, Tenn., Feb. 16,1864. Thtfrainy season has commenced, and the streets (the; call them ftreeta, but 1 think they made a great mistake) are deep with mud. Knoxville never waa a pretty place, and now that iti finest buildings have been destroyed and lta prosperity enished, it presents a remarkably uninteresting speotaole. It Is only the old part of the town that remains In a tolerable condition. Nearly all the new portion, with its large machine shops, has been burned to the ground. We have been expeoting an attaok. It is reported that three columns of rebel oavalry are moving on the plaee. Qur pickets extend six miles out, and the enemy Is about sixteen miles off. G-enerals Schofield, Parks, Stoneman, and others are here, ■ and are not apprehensive of any attack. The oityis so well guarded that It Is Impossible to take it. Its defences ate extensive and superb, and even if an attack were made, nothing could be gained by It. The citizens that still remain, although they have been stripped of their property, are zealous in their efforts to assist eiir soldiers, and every one appears, to be perfectly loyal. The troops are in flrat-rate spirits. They are weMfed, well clothed, and alto gether well eared for. They are all of the opinion that the war will soon end, and look forward hope full; to the time when a grand blow will bo struck. Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas arrived here last night from Chattanooga. Be is In excellent health and spirits, and his mission, under hla able management, is progressing finely. You know he Is superintending the raising of troops of Afri can descent, and has so far been eminently successful. At Nashville he has done an immense amount of good, and it la evident that his presence Is needed in many places where colored troops are being organized. Everything has gone on so well here that there will be little for him to do, so that he will shortly return to Chattanooga and other places where a directing hand Is needed. Gen. Thomas la accomplishing this gigantic work in a most complete and excellent manner, and a large number of colored troops will soon be in the field. From tbis place alone three or four thousand can be I whs oneorapartythatvMtedFawon Browmow to-day. The Parson has been quite ill; indeed, he has not been perfectly well since his Imprisonment two years sgo. He oomplatned of a alight weak ness, but talked with his old vigor and earnestness, and is a stronger Union man than ever. I bad the pleasure of seeing Gen. Gordon Granger the other day ot London, twenty-eight miles from Knoxville. He was looking' well and busy. The railroad from Chattanooga has been opened to that place, and as soon aa the bridge across the river has been rebuUt,-(sn operation whloh Is expected to be completed In a month,) the road oan be joined and the oars run through to Knoxville without Inter ruption. At London they are engaged In raising a number of engines sunk In the river by the rebels. Provisions have been rather scarce here, and are 'SO Still for the citizens, but the soldiers receive foil rations, and there is a certain kind of enterprise and k gradual improvement of things whieh are about something like old times. Accommodations are not. extensile here. There is but,one hotel, and that Is in an exceedingly tndif* feient wadiuon, B . Ei THE WAH. > The Address of the Rebel Congfug, . Owing to the crowded state of our oo&nuiar wo have been unable to publish this addieslat length. A few passages, which we quote, will show its character. The address is signed by Meurs, Orr, Semmes, and* Maxwell on the part of the Senate! and Clapp, Curry, Hartbrldge, and W, N.. Smith on the part of the House. The intent of the address a to goad the people of the South into making a last desperate resistance, and we need not be surprised at the pyramid of falsehood which it rears. The following charges are brought against the North: A cruel war of invasion was commenced, which. In its progress, has been marked by a brutality and daregaidof the •rules of civilized warfare, as stand out in unexampled barbarity In dern wars. Accompanied by every act oi cruelty and rapine, the conduct of the enemy has been des titute of the forbearance and magnanimity which civilization and Christianity have introduced to mi tigate the asperities oi war atrocity are too in* credible for narration. Instead of a regu.ar war, our resistance of the unholy efforts to crush cut our na tural existence is treated as a rebellion, and the set tled international rules between belligerents are ig nored. Instead of conducting the war as betwixt two military and political osganizations, it m a war against the whole population. Hoiwes are pillaged and burned. Churches are defaced. I owns are raDtaoked. Clothing of women and lnfancs stripped from their persons. Jewelry mementoes oi the dead are stolen. Mills and implements of agri culture are destroyed. Private salt are broken up. The introduction of medicines is for bidden. Means of subsistence are wantonly wasted to produce beggary. Prisoners are contagious diseases. The last morsel of food has been taken from families, who are not allowed to carry on a trade or branch of industry. A rigid and ofiecsive espionage haabeen introduced to ferret out « disloyalty.” Persritt have been foroed to choose between starvation of helpless children and taking the oath of allegiance to a hatedOov4*s«fceat. The cartel for exchange of prisoners has beett suspended, and our unfortunate soldiers subjected to the grossest indignities. The wounded at G-ettysburg were de prived of their nurses and inhumanly left to perish on the field. Helpless women have been exposed to the most cruel outrages and to that dishonor which Is infinitely worse than death. Citizens have been murdered by the Builers and McNlels and MUroys, who are favorite generals of our enemies. Kenned and delicate ladies have been seized, bound with cordi, lmpriioned, Ruardedby negroe»,aad held s* boatage. for the return of reo.ptured slaves. Un offenalug ooD-comb.t&ntß have been banished or dragged from their quiet home, to be imuiured in fllhty iaile. Prcaoblug the Gospel ha. been refused, except on condition of raking the oath of allegiance. Parent, have been forbidden to name their children in honor of “rebel” chid.. Property ha. been con fl.catcd. Military Governor, have been appointed for State., Satraps for province., and Haynau.'lor cities, this future t<Tsubmission. Gen. Kobeit E. Lee, in a recent battle order, stated to bis Invincible legions that the “cruel loe seeks to reduce our lathers and mothers, our wives and chil dren. to abject slavery.” He does not too strongly the purposes of the enemy or the eonee quences of subjugation* What has been done in certain districts Is but the prologue of the bloody drama that will be enacted. It is well that every man and woman should have some just conception of the horrors of conquest.. The late of Ireland at the period of its conquest, and of Poland, distinctly foreshadows what would await us. The guillotine, in iia ceaseless work of blood, would be revived for .the execution of the “rebel leaders*” The heroes of our contest would be required to lay down their proud ensigns, on which age re corded the battle-fields ol their glory—to slack their arms, lower their heads in humilia tion and diibonor, and pass under the iyotte of Abolition misrule and tyranny. A hateful Inquisi tion, made atrocious by spies and informers; star chamber courts, enforcing their decisions by confis cations, Imprisonments, banishments, and death;a band of detectives, ferreting out secrets, lutklug la every family, existing In every conveyance; the suppression of free speech; the deprivation or arms andlranehlse; and the ever-present sense of info rlority,would make our condition fthjeet and misera ble beyond what freemen oan Imagine. Subjugation Involves everything that the torturing mslloeand devilish ingenuity of our foes can suggest—the de struction of our nationality, the equalisation of whites and blacks, the obllleration of State lines, degradation to colonial vassalage, and the reduction oi many of our eltizens to weary, hopeless, remedl lees bondßge. A hostile police would keep* 1 order” In every town and oily, judges, like Buitfcd, would bold our courts, protected by Yankee soldiers. Churches would be filled by Yankee or tory preach ers. Every office would be bestowed ou aliens. Ab sentcelsm would curse us with all its vices. Super added to these, slaking us into a lower abyss of de gration, we, would be made the slaves of our slaves— hewers of wood and drawers of water for those upon whom Gcd has stamped indelibly the marks of physical and intellectual inferiority. The past of (erelgncoun tiies need not be sought unto to furnish Illustra tions of the heritage of shame that subjugation would entail. Baltimore, St. Louts, Nashville, Knox ville, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Huntsville, Nor folk, Newbeih, Louisville, and Fredericksburg are the first fruits of the ignominy and poverty of Yackee domination. The sad story of the wrongs and Indignities en dured by those States which have been la the com flete or partial possession of the enemy; will give ho best evidence of theaocsequencei of subjugation. Missouri, a magnificent empire of agricultural and mineral wealth, is to-day a smoking ruin, and the tbeatre of the most revolting orueltics and barba risms. The minions of tyrants consume her sub stsnee. plunder her eltizens, and destroy her peace. The sacred rlghtc of freemen are struck down, aud the blood of her children, her maidens, and hot old men, Is made to flow, out ol mere wantonneas and zeoklesanets. No - whispers of freedom- go unpun ished, and the veiy instinots of self-preservation are outlawed. The worship of God and the rites of sepulture have been shamefully interrupted, aud, iu many instances, the cultivation of the soil Is pro hibited to her own cltizene. These faots are attested by many-witnesses, and it Is but a just tribute to that noble and chivalrous people that, amid barba rities almost unparalleled, they still maintain a proud and defiant spirit toward their enemies. THE COMING CAMPAIGN, Our titter and Implacable foes are preparing Vigor ously for the coming campaign. Oorreepondlng ef fort* ihould be made on our part. Without mur muring, our people ihould respond to the laws. wbUh the exigency demande. Every one sapable of bearing •imi should be connected with some direc tive military organization. The utmost energies of the whole population ehould be taxed to produce food and clothing, and a aplrlt of cheerfulness and trnat In an all-wise and over-ruling Frovldenoe ihould be cultivated. . . . ThehUtory of the pa.t three years hae much to animate ui to renewed effort! and a firmer and more auured hope. A whole people have given their hearts and bodiei to repel the invader, ind oostly aaciiiiaei have been made on the altar of our country. No ilmilar initanoe Is to be found of men ipontaneoui npriling and volunteering. Imolred by a holy patriotism, again and again have our brave soiuleri, with toe aid of Heaven, baffled the efforts of our loea. It is in no arrogant •Pint that we refer to aucoeiiei that have oost ui so much blood, and brought sorrow to 10 many heart.. We may find In all this an earneit of what, with determined and resolute exertion, we can do to avert subjugation and slavery; and we oannot fail to discern In our deliverance from so many and so great perils, the Interposition of that Being who will not forsake u. in the trials that are to eome. Let us, then, looking upon the bodies of our loved and honored dead, catch inspiration from their example, and gather a renewed oonfidenoe, and a firmer re solve to tread, with unfaltering trust, the path that leads to honor and peace, although it lead through tears, and suffering, and blood. We have no alternative but to do our duty. We combat for property, homes, the honor of our wives, the future of our children, the preservation of oar fair land from pollution, and to avert a doom whloh we can read both In the threata of our enemies and the acta-of oppression we have alluded to lathis #< The'situation Is grave, but furnishes no just ex ouse for despondency. Instead of harsh eritiolsms on the Government and our generals j instead Oi bewaUlng the failure to accomplish impossibilities, we should rather be grateful, humbly and pro foundly, to a benignant Providence, for the results that have rewarded our labors. Bemembering the disproportion in population, In military and naval resources, and the deficiency of skilled labor in the South, our accomplishments have surpassed those recorded of any people in the annals.of the world. There Is no just reason for hopelessness or fear. Since the outbreak of the war the South has lost the nominal posseaslon of the Mississippi river and fragmenta of her territory, but Federal occupancy la not conquest. Tbe flres of patriotism still burn unquenohably in the breasts of those who are sub iect to foreign domination. We yet hare in our un interrupted control a territory which, according to past progress, Win require the enemy ten years to The enemy is not free from difficulties. With an enormous debt, the flnanoial convulsion, long post poned, is surely coming. The short orops in the united States, and abundant harvests in Europe, will hasten whatowas otherwise inevitable. Many sa gacious persons at the North- discover, in the usur pations of tbe Government, the certain overthrow - of their liberties. A large number revolt from the uniust war waged upon the South, and would gladly bring It to an end. Others look with alarm upon -the complete subversion of constitutional freedom by Abraham Lincoln, and feel in their own persons the bitterness of the slavery which three years of war have failed to lnfllot on tho.Eouih. Brave and earneat men at the North hart spoken out against the usurpation and oruelties daily practised. The success of these men over the radical and despotic faction which now rules the North may W»y to peaceful negotiation, and a cessation of this bloody and unnatural war. REBEL SEOBET HISTORY.

POLITICAL. EX.PBBBIDBNT FILLHOBB DRIVELLING. The Commercial Advertiser (Buffalo), ft zealous and able supporter if Millard Fillmore throughout his entire public life, is staggered by an address delivered by him at the recent opening of the Sanitary Fair in that city, whereof it pungently says : •* The only thing that marred the harmony of the proceedings at the Inauguration oeremoniei of the great Central Fair yesterday, was the speech Of Its venerable president, ex-President Fillmore. We give his remarks, as toned down by the Courier , in an another column. Although that gentleman has thus far preserved his accustomed reticence as to bis sen timents and opinions during the struggle in whloh our country Is engaged. It has been no secret to many Who poMMttd hil confidence, that his sympathies were not, to say the least) on the side of the Govcra- It has been known to some that he has thought the Union not worth preserving unless slavery could be preserved with it. We have not been disposed to quarrel with the venerable gentleman’s position in this respect) heretofore, believing that be was entitled to his own opinions, however erroneous they might be, so long he did not parade them before the peo ple. Among the select few who still regard him as an oracle, they could do but little harm. Nor should we now refer to his position on the war, or on the piobable terms of peace, If he had not taken the moat inauspicious of all occasions to ventilate his peouliar doctrines. Whatever may be the general opinion as to the value or correctness of his remarks, there can be but one opinion as to the fact that the tenor of ttem, and the tone of them, were in shock ing bad taste, to use the mildest phrase. ‘‘We venture to say that but few public men would have taken advantage of their position as piesidlng offloer of a charitable fair, which had for its object the raising of funds to help the sick aud wounued of our army and navy, to deliver such a sueeoh; and we know that the fact that he did so disgusted not a few of those of whose good opinion the ex-President has heretofore had reason to ba proud. We say this ‘ more in sorrow than in anger,’ lor we should have been glad to have placed upon record some words from Mr. Fillmore whioh would have identified him with tbe friends of the Govern ment and the Union, instead of being obliged to class him, a& we now do, among the bitterest opponents of the war and its eonduot in the infamous circle'made up of such men as Vallandißham, the Woods, the Seymours, and the Brookses.’’ A Nbw Fbbbidbntial Candidate.—We have never thought that Governor Morton had any aspi rations or thoughts in regard to the Presidency; and yet we do not know but he has, for we know nothing on the subject. But we do know that others have thought and spoken of him in that connexion; and in our opinion there has been a great deal more thought upon the subject and favorable to him, than has yet been made public. And we should not have said anything on the subject had it not been that we feared there would be an effort in the. convention on to-morrow and that it might otherwise be successful, to commit the State by nasty and unthoughted ac tion to some other man. . . „ . „ . . Knowing what we did, and believing that sucha contingency might arise as the proposal of Oliver P» Moiton’s name before the National Convention as a candidate for the Presidency, we thought It would place him in a very unfair, and our State in a very awkward position, should this convention, without perhaps ever thinking of the matter and the oonse i auenoes, pledgetthe State and instruct its delegates in favor of some other man. —lndianapolis Gazette . GtiWEHAXj irawa Illegal Confinement in a Lunatic Asylum. —A singular action to recover damages lor illegal confinement In a lunatic aiylum 1» now occupying the attention of the Scotch Court or Seieion. The "pursuer,” or as we In America ehould cay, the plaintiff, lc one Angus Mackintosh, a gentleman re siding in tho county or Inverness; the defendants are two doctors, named Smith and Lowe, proprie tors or a private lunatto asylum near Edinburg, Mr, Mackintosh alleges that on the 13th or Tune, 1863, he being then or sound mind, was fercibly and wrong fully seized in Edinburg, and taken to the defend ants’ lunatic asylum, where he remained until he made his escape, which was at the expiration of 38 days. On the other side, it is maintained that the plaintiff’s mother, having presented a petition to the sheriff of Edinburg, setting forth that her son was laboring under such mental derangement as to re quire his confinement, a warrant for hie removal to the lunatic asylum In question was granted by the sheriff, on the strength of a certificate of Insanity, signed by two Edinburg physicians. .The damages are laid at £6,000, and the hearing is expected to ex tend over several days. Petroleum in MiOHiGAN.-vThe Detroit Free Frees, ot the 20th Inst., contain! a long artiele rela tive to a discovery of oil at Albion, some one hun dred miles west of Detroit. The oil was discovered in an old weflTin a store cellar, of which only about two barrels has been secured. The Press says: “The flow has been gradually dying away since the first discovery, a laot which is attributed to the extreme cold weather, of the past few days, though the weather produces no perceptible effect upon the oil springs of Pennsylvania and other localities. It is evident that the oil is very different frem that of the latter. The orude oil of the Pennsylvania springs is a thick, heavy liquid, of a dark greenish cast, with a specific gravity or Com forty-four to forty-seven. This is a lighter fluid, with a light red dish tinge, having gravity of forty. It has a strong odor resembling turpentine or varnish, while that of the Pennsylvania orude oil is pungent and exceedingly disagreeable. It is the opinion of eentlemen, after carefully examining the locality, fh*t this is merely the outcropping of the oil vein and not the vein itself, which eomes to the sur face.” _ The Colored Troops in Tennessee,— Osptala B. D. Mussey, commissioner for the organization of colored troops in Bast and Middle Tennessee, issued a circular from Nashville on the 15th inst., the concluding section of which is as follows f “X. No person is wanted as an officer in a colored regiment who ‘reels that he is making a sacrifice in accepting a position in a colored regiment,' or who desires the place simply for higher rank and pay. It is the aim of those having this organization, in oharge to make colored troops equal, if not superior, to the best of white troops in drill, discipline, and officers. It is more than possible that colored troops will hereafter form no inconsiderable portion of the permanent army of the United States, and it should be the aim of every officer of oolored troops to make himself and hie men fit for sueh an honorable posi tion. It can be no ‘sacrifice’ to any man to com mand in a service which gives liberty to slaves, and manhood to chattels, M well M soldiers to the Union.” Lunacy in the Isle ov Man.—l r the faot were not stated on good authority, it would not_ be be lieved that no provision is made in the Isle of Man for the regulation of lunacy eases, and that the com missioners in lunacy have no jurisdiction there. In conicquenee of this state of affairs an unfortunate man has been confined for seventeen years past in a “ filthy cowhouse,” with damp and unsightly walls, and a cold elay floor. Literally « frightened out of Ms wits ” in his youth, by the appearance of a fellows apprentice clothed in white, he has einoe dragged on a miserable existence In a state of bondage, which would have doubtless terminated in an obsoure death if Mr. Sidney Hodges' latecommunioations on confined lunatics had not brought the ease to light and induced inquiry. The same gentleman now writes to the Times, appealing for assistance in this, the last-discovered ease of madness and misery. English Orthodoxy, &o.—A controversy has been going on for some time in the Scotsman respect ing the alleged conflicting claims of revelation and science. The last contribution to the controversy is a letter from Bishop Colenao, In whioh he com ments npon Dr. Oandlish'a assertion that the Bible is literally and infallibly true as regards every par ticular of its oontents, snd that Ms physical smd scientific statements are to be received as absolutely oorrect. The Bishop says: “I have been peatectly by hostile reviewers In England that I was f fighting with a shadow,' in supposing that suon extreme views would be_ seriously any religious teacher of consideration in these jSmsinCWholl?hBilss?of fnd StiHyactattl written letters in the same "the house of ex-United States Senator Yutee, at at Augustine, Florida, is now the headquarters of the Federal commandant of that port, and a letter from there says that Tulee, who has not held any office since the State seceded, is getting ready to lend a hand in restoring her to the Union. An emancipation meegng was held at Covington, Ey., on Thursday evening of last week. One or the speakers was J. B. Grant, the father of General Grant. Be thought there was no seed of aetion.

Trade was generally dull. The news is unimportant. The London Times City Article says; “ Whether the rate oi discount by the Bank of England will be moie permanent than the last similar reduc tion on the 24th of December, which it was found necessary to retract in three or four weeks, must be a doubtlul question. The probability it that if the war symptoms thicken, the contraction that will occur, a specially in the German trade, coupled with the withdrawal oi credits and the exotciie of gene* ral prudence, may cause a further diminution of the piecßure to be witnessed. Sotne letters from Ger many id day state that an increased of internal complication* and externals dangers, to whioh th~e country may be diiven by thfe present course, is be ginning in several quarters to become manifest.” The London Times legiets tbe heave loss sustain* ed by the British foice in the New Zealand battle, but aays the results were most important, So muon so, that the leading man among the natives, Wm. Thompson, wished to offer his submission to the general immediately after the struggle, and was only prevented doing so by the determination of his few remaining followers. A correspondent of the London Time s, who wit nessed the first fight between the Danes and Prus sians. at Mistucae, says of It: “ It was chiefly an artillery flght, the object being to batter tbe Danish defences, aud daunt tne Danea themselves, with a view to subsequent more deoisiva operations. The combat began beyond Ko.el (a village about hall way between Eokenford and Mt*> suede). tbe Danes shirmitblng bask to their position on tbe Sublet. About 3 o’clock the Prussians broke off the flght and retired unmolested by their oppo nents. As the columns began to maroh backward to their quarters, the village Included In the Danish position, which had been for aome time on Are, blazed up through the fog, and cast a red glare along the horizon. An eannon shot during the next half hour concluded the day’s proceeding*. “ The Prussian troopa bear themselves, so far as I had opportunity of observing, very creditably in the new capacity, long unknown to this army, of fight ing men. On the march they are joyous and alert, they go cheerfully into action, and bear wounds un complainingly. On the other hand, one sees at onee that they are young soldiers. A whole battalion stooped tbelr beads to.day, almost as one mao,when a round-shot passed at a small distance over them- The came men went eagerly Into action a short time alterwatds, and did their duty with spirit and good will. lam not sure that it is likely to encourage young Boldiers to be addressed upon the Held in tne terms which an acquaintance of mine assured me he heard employed to-day by a well-meaning ohap laln, who, In a short discourse, Intended to arouse the religious feeling of a battalion, informed them that it was highly probable very lew of them might come out of the e ruggle upon which they were at that moment about to enter.” THE DANISH WAR. English. IVar Preparations. The Army and Navy Gazette observes that, should political events render it necessary to send an army to the assistance of tbe Danes, ”we could send out s most compact and efficient force. Uur troopi, ai a hedy, weie never iu a better condition to take the Held. Vie have now In the United Kingdom, in ad dition to the household brigade and ddpdts, 1? regi ments of cavalry, 60 batteries of artillery, 10 troopi of lioise artillery, and 38 battalions of Infantry. In tbe aggregate, the strength of the artillery may be roughly put down as 12,000 men, the oavalry 9,000, and the infantry 32,000, or 63,000 Altogether. One half of -this foiss placed beside the Danas would see the Austro-Piussian army on the south side of the Dam ewerkc for a period far outlasting the patience ol their hot compatriots. “The household troopi at home number nearly 6,000 men, and after sending out 26,000 men of all aims, we should have a good reserve 4n them, In the 28,000 now forming regiments, and in the 162 regimental ddpOts.” The United Service Gazette oi to-day haa the following paragraphs: “We have been informed on good authority that the Secretary of State for War on Monday afternoon received in otiuclio,.- from the Privy Oounoll to take a supple mentaiy war credit of about two millions, to meet expenses In esse of hostilities between this country and Germany. The following corns have received orders to prepare to embark for Copenhagen—viz: the 11th Hussars, at Bichmond Barraoks, Dublin p the 16th Hussars, at Newbridge; the Istßittallon, Uth Regiment, and the battalion 12th Regiment at Dublin.” THB FIGHTING AT MIBSUNDB. The correspondent of tbe London Times thus de scribe* tbe battle of Feb, 2: The Danes had erected with admirable engineer ing talent no less than seven formidable earthwork* to defend the approach to tbe Sohlcl. They had se lected strong positions for them all, but the two most southerly ones were on the most elevated heights, and offered the greatest advantages for a resolute defence. In eaehls a rough but strongly constructed block house, and the position not only commands tbe approach from tbe south, but the ferry and iUe» depone on the other side of the iSchiei, io. the rear. Nine batteries of Prussian artillery of the 3d ot Brandenburg, and 7th or Westphalian Brigades, consisting of howitzers, field 6-pounders, short 13- pounders, and rifled guns, in all seventy-fire pieces of ordnance, were by degrees drawn into the engage ment, which began about It o’clock, and lasted for four bouts. The fire of the Prussians was returned by the Danes with great spirit, the latter appearing to be Quite up to their work; end though they did not dismount any of the gnat, did great execution on the gunnera and bones, more than one hundred and fifty Prussians being billed and wounded, among whom are several officers* one a eolonel ol artillery. Whether the Prussians did right In opposing In open field an enemy entreuohed behind strong earthworks, defended by guns of muoh heavier calibre, is beyond my province as a civilian to deelde. Certain it Is that they paid dearly for tbus exposing their men. In the meantime, the Prussian infantry made several attempts to storm the heights, although not' a single.gun had been silenced; but they were re ceived each time by suoh a murderous fire of shrap nel and grapeshot, and were taken In flank by the Danish rifles and infantry, concealed behind hedges, that they were reluctantly compelled to abandon tbe attaek for the present. But the conduct of the . Prussians merits all praise. As if they were vete rans who had been in many actions, Instead of young lads smelling gunpowder for the first time, they rushed up the heights only to he repulsed again and again. But all their heroism was not sufficient to take one simple entrenchment. Old Schleswig-Hol stein officers, who had joined the Prusslane as vo lunteers to witness the action, are unanimous in their praise ol the bravery and coolness displayed by lnfantry that took part In this engagement were the 15th, 24th, 35th. 53d, and GOth Regiments, among which those most cut up were the Fusilier Battalion of the 15th (from Blelefleld In Westpha lis), and the Ist Battalion of the 60th, (from Wrle zen on the Oder). The latter lost seven officers, among whom was the commanding officer, Major Von Jena, who had taken part as a volunteer In the battle of Solierino, where he was severely wounded In the shoulder. In this, bis last action, a ball struck him in the breast and killed him on the spot. Lieutenant Colonel yon Francis, of the 24th Regi ment, received a bullet on his right jaw-bone, the bullet coming out at tbe left side, and another In the right thigh. Count Von Der Qrohen, lieutenant in the regiment called tbe Zletben Husßars, and one of tbe personal aids-de camp of Prince Frederiek Carl, while riding across the ground with orders from his chief, was struck in the breast by a eonioal ball, and dropped from his saddle a dead man. Several of the officers hall their horses killed under them, The dead and wounded were all brought oft the field, chiefly by young civilians, students, and others, who, without earing for the storm of buUets 'that was raging around them, rushed into the Haul to carry away those who had fallen. They have, for the present, been removed to Coael, the nearest vU- Isse tothe soeneof action, where the killed will be buried, and whence the wounded will be transported to the hospitals at Kiel and Altona. marshal Wrangel, the commander-la chief of the invading army, will be elghty-fonr years of age in the month of April, hut he is still exceedingly vigor ous.

B.—The Austrians are proud, ami justly so, of the heroia deeds performed by the Bfb esdeXxondtecourt, on the 3d instant, but the advan tages gained at Ober-Selck are a poor compensation for the great loss of life. On the 3d instant Field Marshal Von Wrangel informed thei Emperor by electric telegraph that the Austrian brigade, under General Count Gondreoourt, had,ln the fmenoMl of the same day, made a brilliant attaek on the Danes, who occupied an advantageous nosltlon between Lottorf _ and GeltOrf. The Austrian brigade made three desperate ehngw with the bayonet before the Danes oould he induced to retreat, whioh they mutt have done in disorder, as their pursuers obtained posses sion of the Ktmlgsberg, a fortified hill In the neigh borhood of Obei-Selok. The 18th Jftger battalion, which took a rifled gun from the Danes, suffered greatly, as It got within range or the artillery in that part of the great Dannewerk whleh is to the north of Wedelspang. “The valor of Gen. Gondreoourt, «od of the troop* under, hia command,” •»;« the Prussian marshal, "is beyond all praise, but the loss incurred is not Inconsiderable." The truth la that the brigade in Question had 649 men put hart de combat. General Gondreoourt left no prisoner! In the hands of the Danes, but he lost cany, of his best and bravest offloers. The 18th J&ger battalion had four officers killed and two wounded i tbe regiment “Martini” hadfour kUIM and twelve wounded, and the “King had two killed and four wounded, among whom » Colonel von Benedek, the oommanderof the r™ ment.
