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.

Dr. St. Clair to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
continued -imprisonment of Harry White. Dr. St.
Clair will arrive here on Saturday of-this week, but

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

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

The city Is full of recruits. They are continually

every county will be clear of the draft by the Ist of

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

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

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

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

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 .

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.

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

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

the 16th Hussars, at Newbridge; the Istßittallon,

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

of the same day, made a brilliant attaek on

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,
