Nineteen males 'and twelve females have died during the year. Of these deaths, eight resulted from acute mania; one from ebronlo mania; three from organic disease 1 (softening) of the brain; two from inflammation o . the lungs; one from disease of the heart; three from apoplexy; two from chronic diarrheas; three from gradual exhaustion, oonneoted with the refusal of food; three from old age; one front suioide; one from delirium tremens, and three from pulmonary consumption. Of the patients who died, .thirteen were admitted for mania; seven for melancholia; three for monomania ; seven for dementia, and one for delirium. The total number of admissions, since the ope'niog Of the hospital is 4,1t0, and of discharges or deaths 3 866. Of these patients more were admitted be tween the ages of 26 and 30-than between any otbers; one (a female) was admitted over 93, and no. ease is mentioned of a patient being admitted between 86 and 90. If we are to. rate the increase of insanity by the influence of we must conclude that farmers and those who have no ocou-. pation stand the best chances of becoming inmates of the Pennsylvania Hospital, 308 of the patients having been farmers, and 282 nothing at all. Among the male patients, of bank officers, conveyancers, brusbmakeis, boatbuildere, carvers, coaohmakors, shipwrights, collectors, contractors, authors, hair dressers, planemakers, coopers, potters, cap manu facturers, waiters, brewers, auctioneers, plumbers, type-founders, telegraph operators, there Is one specimen each. Among the female patients, 222 domestics, and 1 physician, have been admitted. Of single females not pursuing a regular occupation, the greatest number admitted, tot, were daughters Of merehaatl, Whilst there is only one specimen each, of the wives of auctioneers, engineers, watch makers, millers, officers of the army and navy, chair makers, watermen, druggists, and brick-makers. Of the married, similarly situated, the greatest number, I76,were farmers’ wives; and there were , ten pa tients who were the respective wives or a painter, cutter, book-binder, tinman, paper-maker, broker, navy officer, halr-dresser, dentist, and watchmaker. Of widows similarly situated, 40 were merchants’ widows, 40 were farmers’ widows, and five were the respective widows of a tanner, painter, muon, printer, and blacksmith. Of the supposed oausesof the insanity of these 4,140 patients, 682 oases are at tributed, generally, to iU-health of various kinds, and the causes of 1,695 cues are unascertained. Three patients became Insane from mortified pride (two of then were men); three from the use of quack-medicines'(males); twelve from uncontrolled passion (females, 7); one irom tight lacing (female); two from stock speculations; six from homesick ness (all females); one from metaphysioal specula tions (male); five from the dread of poverty (males, 3); and 272 from Intemperance (females, 16). .1,928 were admitted for mania, 1,110 for melancholia, 676 for monomania,'4B4 for dementia, and 13 for delirium.. The duration of the disease, in 2,263* cases, did not exceed three months, and in only two eases did it reach to between 46 and 60 years. The'gardens and pleasure grounds attached to this Hoipital are, as the report states, of great value in the treatment ofite inmates. Embracing, for the two departments, near one hundred acres, their na tural features have been rendered peculiarly attract*, ive by the extensive drives'and walks which have been laid out, and scaroe anything else about the es tablishment is in such-general use/ and so much en jojed. hy aH 'classes of patients. The great exten sion of the dry walks now being put'down will give new value to them, There is no substitute lor regu lar and systematic exercise In the open air. Com paratively few are unable to Indulge In it every day in the year, when it is not actually storming. No thing more certainly allays, for the time being, at least, that nervous irrltlbillty which is so common, and, by invigorating the general health, tends to se cure its permanent removal. The walking, riding, and outdoor amusements, are of almost as much Importance to those engaged In the immediate oare of the patients as to the patients themselves. The tendency among those whose duties are specially In the wards is .to become less and less fond of being out of doors, and to regard this part of their duties - as a task, to be got through with as soon as possible. Bi.f; i thi» i feeling should always be discouraged for _the'«M»£££nti’ own cakes, as well as for the best interests of patients. The vegetable garden Is well cultivated, the works shops and mechanical departments are excellently provided for, and the arrangements for the evening's Instruction and amusement are peculiarly complete. The evening entertainments were commenced in the winter of 1843-4, by exhibitions of the magic lantern in the wards; and during the same season, the first lectures to the patients were delivered. During the winter of 1844-6, a lecture-room was fitted up, and a regular course delivered, which embraced lectures on astronomy, electrioity, human and vegetable physiology, meteorology, architecture, the heating and ventilation of buildings, &o. The oourse com menced in the autumn of 1846, consisted of two leo " tures a week, and was continued for about six months. Up to this period the ordinary magio lantern was used. In 1846, dissolving views painted on glass were first shown. In 1847, musio was introduced as a regular part of the exercises of every evening, and has always been continued In agradually Improving form, 1n.1847-48, three evenings of every week were devoted to the lecture, room entertainments, and were weekly observed for between seven and eight months. At this period, it was found that these entertainments were - gradually taking the plaoe of the social parties for patients of both sexes, whieh had been fairly tested, and found, on many accounts, not to be desirable. In the season of 1849-60, for the first time, the annual course was extended to three evenings for every week during nine months, and has been so continued ever sisoe—the only difference being, that sinoe the opening of the new building, in 1869, a course ol this extent hss been given at each department, thus oe oupying all the evenings ef every week. From 1860 the eveDlng entertainmenta have been regarded as a regular and important part of the remedial means of - the Institution. The museums and Reading rooms have been made more attractive, especially those at the department for males, by improved furniture and additions to the libraries and collections of curl, osities. Oases have been placed along the and to fill these, contributions of books, specimens* of natural history, or other objects ol interest will at all times be gratefully received. There are two of these rooms at each building; they are light, cheerful, pleasantly situated, heated,- and accessible at all hours of the day. The regular and systematic use of the muscles, es. peclally in the open air, Is of such great import ance to nearly every one, that everything which tends to secure this is really of great value in an In stitution for the insane. For this reason out-door labor, to those for whom it is proper, when judi oionsly supervised, is desirable. ' The number who - engage in it, however, must always be comparative lysmall. Biding, valuable as a passive kind ol ex ercise, is pleasant to all who oan use It to any ex tent, but this number oan never be great. Active out-door games are ftequuently much enjoyed, and more can be Induced to avail themselves ol their ad vantages, but for nearly all the residents of a hospi tal nothing is so generally available as warning, and when systematically directed, it is the great re source. To secure the best results from It requires extensive and handsomely improved pleasure grounds, numerous dry walks, so laid out as to give the most (interesting objects and the most varied scenery in their 'course, and then their use must be imiited on with as much regularity as any other part of the discipline of such an establishment. During the put year Amusement Hall, at the de* partinent for females, hu been considerably en larged, and improved, and refurnished. A billiard table, added to the meant of amusement already there, has rendered it still more attractive, and the number resorting to it is muoh greater than ever be fore. A flee new piano has been placed in the leo ture-room at the department for males, and hu added to the attractiveness of the entertainments there given. The billihrd table and the piano were ob tained from funds collected by two friends of the hospital for that particular purpose. The hospital day begins at five o’clook. At six it Is intended that the patients should be preparing for breakfast, which meal, during the whole year, is taken at 6>f o’clock. The officers resident In the hospital take all their meals half an hour alter the patients, so that those to whom the duty Is specially delegated can have a personal supervision of the dining rooms, and the general serving of food. Im mediately after breakfast, the rooms and wards are put in order, preparatory to inspection by the medi cal officers at their morning visit, which they begin a few minutes after 8 o’clook, accompanied by the supervisors, and during which the condition and wants of every patient are carefully ascertained, Previous to the commencement of . thit yUfr the cards from the watch-olooks are examlne&Wldtten reports have been received from the nlgblwatch <X whatever may have occurred during the night, and from the supervisors and companion! of the patient* detailing their observations of the pnyiona dayj and evening, and verbal reports of theateteofthe patients in the early morning.

The Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane* The report of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane for the year 1863 iocludceji very fair amount of interesting matter. At the date of the last report there were 285 patients in the institution, since which 193 have been admitted and 193 have been discharged or died, leaving 285 under cafe at the close of the year* Of the patients discharged during the year were: " Males. Females. Total. Cured.*,.......... 44 44 88 Much improved..... ....... 2 11 14 Improved 16 17 23 Stationary 18 9 27 Died j. 19 12 31 ana donkey phmtons, tiaCFarmanto wn wagon*, Affi, allot which, but the first, patient* often drive, bo. tag need only inside the enelomirei, the roade for whioh, at each department, are nearly two mile* In extent. About the same time, the patient, from all the ward., accompanied by a ponton or their attend ant*. pae* Into the ground, for walking, and in good weather are expected thueto epend at leaat a couple of hour, every morning out of the houae Be fore returning, or afterward., they have an op portunity of viaittag the museum* and reading room., the green-hoo.e,- the pleaaure railroad, the eaiiathenium or ten-pta alley, amusement haU, Am. and engaging in the various gamea there provided! or in thoise more apeclally calculated for the open air. In addition, the male patients have the uae or the workehopa and of the gardens and grounds, i a working In which many take mueh interest, Many too, of bpth sexe., walk outside of the enclcaurei, visiting object* of interest, in the vicinity, and often extending their excursions to a considerable dis tance. After the outdoor exercise, the usual In-door resources are at command reading, writing, conversation, game, of nearly every kind, ami whatever work is likely to be interesting to In dividual patients. During all this period, as well as in the afternoto and evening, the supervi .ors and companion, to the patients have been passing among them in the different wards, the latter especially giving their attention wherever deedfed most Important, and taking care that, there is-no falling off in the amon*p%f exercise, amusement., or other oqenpaHan*in" which thfe inmates are en gaged. . The medical and other officers, too, give what time they are able to apare to visits at irregu lar hours, and to the exercise of suoh personal influ ence as they can, in- the esaea under care. At noon, medicine is again administered to those who are taking it) regularly, the first dose having been given before breakfast, and preparations made for dinner, whioh is on the table at half-past twelve* Early in the afternoon, depending some what on the season, all are expected to be again in the open air, and securing, as far as possible, the advantages which result from it, sunshine, exercise, and whatever else we oan combine with these valuable agents for preserving as well as re storing health. The same places of resort for occu pation and amuaement arc open as in the morning, and as many as can he accommodated are again out riding. Tea Is ready at C P. M. In winter, and at 6>£ in summer, after which, except in very warm weather, few go Outside of the ysrds connected with the, wards. Then begin the special arrangements far making the evenings pass pleasantly. Preparations are made for the lectures and 1 other-entertainments in the leoture room, which take place regularly on thiee evenings of every week for nine month, at each department, commencing-at 1H P, M., and lasting about one hour, the character of these exer cises being greatly varied, as has been detailed on other occasions. After leaving the leoture room, the patients frequently assemble and have musio, games, and other diversions, filling up Hie time to half past 9, between whioh and 10 o’clock all persona are ex pected to retire for the night. The only difference when there Is no lecture, room entertainment is that much more is done in the wards by the companions to the patients, the attendants, and the patients themselves. '. There is more music,-more reading aloud, and aU the games that are popular, while spe cial tea parties now and then make a pleasant vari ety. The evening vl.lt of the physicians is made soon after tea, or immediately after lecture, when ■pedal directions are given for the night. At 914 P. M. the night watch calls at the physi cian's office for instructions in regard to special du ties, The night watch consists of those regularly, employed for the purpose of pairing through the wards to see to the safety of the buildings, the con dition of the patients, and to attend to their wants, Ac., and of those who may be delegated to be witb single sick patients. Every ward is visited at stated periods, and when passed through, the night watch, by touehlng a pull connected withthe watch dock, snakes a mark on the revolving card, which show's that the duty has been performed, and the ex&ot time at whioh it was done. This pull can be made only at one point in each ward, and the card itself is accessible only to the officer having it in charge. The night watch remains on duty till the attendants are up and have taken charge of the wards in the Snorting,.bo that at no time, day or night, are the wards left without some one directly responsible for their care. The average cost per week or patients In the male department is $7.37, and in the female, $5.86, The disparity in the oost per week of patients in the two departments, and of their expenditures, is less than Would at first appear. The item of fuel at the de partment for males includes the sum of $2,45» 13 paid in 1863, but properly bdongtag to the last, while .the supply received and paid for will.be sufficient to last till the end of 1861, although the amount stored at the department for females Is less than usual. The price paid for coal U more than double what was charged last season,' and thia makes the difference Still more striking. Equalizing the two would make the average cost per -week of each patient in the whole Institution a little over $B. Notwithstand- ing the great increase inptioe ot nearly every article continued, and especially in the important one of fuel, the earnings of the Hospital would have been sufficient to meet all itsexpenaes, but from the diffi culty Of making collections in many parts of the country, formerly most prompt in payment. To meet a deficiency of $19,920 46, unpaid bills amount ing to $31,631.33 could be shown. The deficiency has been met by the funds on hand at the beginning of the year, and a loan of $lO,OOO. on which interest Is paid. All daises of Insane persons, without regard to the duration of the disease or of tts ourabillty, are ad mitted Into this institution. Idiots, however, it may be stated, are not admitted; and for the epileptic, A special agreement should be made. Oases of mania u-potu are not received into this hospital; but Into that in the city, exclusively. The extracts .we have made from the interesting report for 1863 will prove, better than any additions we might make, the permanent worth of the institu tion. Its abundant resources, and the almost oertain hopes it holds out to all, continue to render it self commendatory to the Interests of the afflicted. The Welsh Society. On Tuesday, at noon, it being St. David’s Days the annual meeting of the Welsh Society was held, and the election of officers for 1864-’65 wsb mads. The able and popular president, Horatio Oates Jones, was reelected. The only changes were as follows: Dr. James Bryan, U. S. A., vioe president, in the room of ex'Judge Ellis Lewis; Charles J. Thomas, steward, In place of Edward P. Jones; and Dr. Horace Y. Evans, to be physician to the Soci ety, in place of Dr. Joh*M. Pugh. All the officers of last year were re-elected, with the above excep tions. * . At six o’clock the Society's annual dinner came off at the Continental Hotel, with H. G. Jones, Esq, in the chair, and Dr. James Bryan as vice chair man. Among the Invited guests were Judge Oswald Thompson, General Bobert Patterson, of the Hi bernian ; Alderman James Alien, of the St. George’s; tyti- McCammon, of the St. Andrew’s, and Mr- Frederick Fairthorne, of the Albion Societies; Ool* Crosman, &c. 'Grace before meat was pronounoed by the Rev. Dr. Brainerd. The dinner was one of the best yet supplied by the proprietors of the Con tinental Hotel. The ornamental paatry, emblematic of the nationality of the Sooiety, was artistically executed and much admired. The usual toasts, particular, national, and gene ral, were responded to by various gentlemen. 1 ‘ The Pulpit, the Bar, and the Press,” drew a me re. ply from Judge Thompson; Mr. McMichaei made an eloquent speech on the toast of “ Our Departed Associates;” “ The Army and Navy ” ellolted a patriotic address from Colonel Crosman; “ The Union of the Statea” was spoken to, with earnest ness and ability, by Mr. Lloyd Smith, of the Phila delphia Library; Gen. Patterson returned thanks very briefly, for “The. Sister Societies;” and* Mr. Thomas and Dr. Bryan, la reference to the toast o' 11 Woman,” respectively notioed the services to the cause or patriotism and suffering humanity, which had been rendered to our soldiers, by the fair sex, ever since the war commenced. Judge Jenkins, of Bal ' timore, sang as well as spoke in the Welsh language. The regular toast* haying been given, the health of 11 TheOhalrman”wasdrank, on Die proposition' of Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, and, at the same time, a beautiful Druidieal favor-composed of oak leaves, acorns, and the mistletoe—was presented to the Presi dent, as a compliment (pom Welshmen in New York. Mr. H. G. Jones returned thanks with his accus tomed read; eloquence. In the oourse of the even ing several capital .songs were given—Mr. Quayle’ Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Biddle, parth culirly distinguishing themselves in this depart ment. We may add that the brevity of the speeches contributed a good deal to the complete enjoyment of the evening. The longest speeoh did not oeoupy ten minutes. Indeed, we have noticed, at reoent publlo dinners in this city, that the ouatom has been to eschew verbosity. It Is a custom which ought to be honored and observed. m A Card. To the Editor of The Press: Sib ' I noticed in your paper of Saturday last a communication signed “Tax-payer,” in which I am accused of charging the county treasury with the sum of $85.60 for beer furnished for the entertainment Of the 167th Penn’a Begiment, on their return home last fall, after having, through some of our news nanerehere, promlsmed to make the soldiers a pre rent of this beer. Allow mo, to say In reply, that no suoh promise was ever made by me or published. On the oontrary, the beer was furnished by me upon the order of the County Commissioners, who, by the following resolution of the Democratic County Convention of August 4,1863, were recommended to provide a public entertainment for our returning Boldiera • “ Resolved, That the Commissioners of Berks coun ty he requested to appropriate a sum of money for the purpose of extending a cordial reception and en tertainment to the members of the 167th Regiment ol drafted militia, and aIBO to the members of the four companies of volunteers from Berks oounty, who were members of the 161st Regiment Pennsyl vania Volunteers, upon their return home, said re ception and entertainment to be given in the name with this recommendation, the en tertainment. was given, and the refreshments were prowled; the beer, as well as other ordered for the same by the CommiMioneM, ana paid for.

Spoffoylvania and Madison Cocrt House > Ta&en. At daWof Washington, March 1, the New York ■nines ha* the following special deapatoh: The latest information received hero front the Army of the Fotomac, ia up to nine o'clock this morning. Heavy musketry wax heard early this morning, off to the extreme right, in the direction of STannardavilie, where it was supposed that Cue tar's cavalry were engaging the rebel*. Mad ICO h Court House as welt as Spottsylvenia Court House, are in our possession. Tnere is an.evident disport* tion on the part of Lee to avoid a b<le, by keep ing behind his entrenchments. Eilpatrlott has been heard from. The report ie favorable. Lee’s coni munications no longer remain unbroken. It wbb reported to day at Uulpeper that Hampton’s Legion had been badly whipped by Kilpatrick, with a loss of several hundred prisoners—Hampton himself among the number. C6pedal Despatch to tbe X. Y. Tribune 1 Washixo-toii, Tuesday, March I.— “Heta” re ports Item the headquarters of the Army of the Po tomac to this bureau-, under date of Marob-f: It would seem that Hen. Sedgwick was sent to the extreme left of the enemy to engage his attention, and divert bis vigilance from the Eapidan fords. Kilpatrick, seizing advantage of this, Crosses the river, and proceeds to make a rapid uetouv to the southwest of the enemy’s main positions,around Orange Court House and Oordonsville, while Clll tor BWings rapidly around the extreme right of Sedgwick, via Madison Court House and Standards ,vUle. Our latest information from Kilpatrick was up to eight o'clock 1 yesterday morning, when he was re ported to be at Spottsyivsnia, and on the trot. Of Custar, we have positive knowledge that his long lines of cavalry dashed rapidly through MTatji sen Court House berore daylight yesterday morning. It is reasonably conjectured by a Tribune special, who left the Court House at noon, that Custar had engaged the enemy at one o’clock, for a heavy can nonading was heard at that hour In the direction of Orange Court House, and It continued up to dark. “Beta” indulges in the speculation that Kil patrick’s movement has for its object the dissemina tion of the President’s amnesty proclamation. He says that there is no truth In the rumor that the Whole army or any considerable portion has moved, or is about to move. Deserters and prisoners come in freely, out of the movement. In our camps, on the other hand, officers' wives and children abound, and arrive as well as depart daily. Cray sends word from Madison Court House, dated Monday noon, that Sedgwick’s corps marched at eunriee on Saturday, with lour days’ rations, bi vouacked at night seven mites beyond Oulpeper, reached Bussell’s ford, on Kobinson river, on Sun day forenoon, where most of the oorps bivouacked, and Sedgwick established his headquarters. Tal bot’s-brigade pushed on to Madison Court House, with cavalry under Capt. Claflin. A rebel picket fled from the' town toward Orange Court House. Three of the picket were captured. Not a single able-bodied man was found in the town; all had been remorselessly eonscriptedi The Ist division of the 3d Corps came up to the support of the eth on Sun day night. . At one o’clock on Monday morning Oustar’s oa valry, with hoise artillery, marched out or the town to the Bapldan, which was orossed near Bar nett's Ford. Mr. Long adds that our troops marched for miles on the road to Madison Court House through a lane 01 Are and smoke, the brush and stubble in the fields on both sides and the rail fences being on Are, through accident or design. LATEST.—The latest news from the front indi cates a battle this morning, at Stannardsvllle, be tween Cuetar’s cavalry and rebel infantry. Humors persistently place Kilpatrick at about twenty-five miles from Kichmond, give us Spottsylvanla Court House and Madison Court House, and, as a draw back, swell the waters of the Kapldan six feet Over the level of yesterday. CAUSE OF GB AST’S DELAY. Inasmuch as we have been in quick communica tion with Nashville for some time, it may be asked why General Grant has not taken advantage of thia feeble condition of his enemy in Georgia long be fore now 1 Those who have welcomed home oar veterans, or read bulletins of tbeir movements towards the North, will need no answer to this ques tion. Certainly the man who devised the plan of re-tnlisting the old troops, whose time shortly ex pires, for another “ three years or during the war,” deserves mueh ot the Republic. The plan is a grand success, for it saves us the campaign of 1864, andasiures us entirely of victory. I know not what success has been met with In the other armies of the Union, but In this It is truly won derful. It Is the rejuvenation of the old army. It Is the resurrection of the army assured to us as positively as the resurreotion of life is aseured to us. If figures were not as dangerous as they are tiuthful in some cases I would like to show by official statements I have how unanimous the army is in its patriotism- About one-third of the troops of this army were formerly enlisted for three years, and their time expires this summer. These only are eligible for re-enlistment, and twenty-five thousand of them have become veteran volunteers. A large portion of these men have danced out their fur loughs, banked their bounties,-and started for “the front” again ; so there is no particular harm In telling they have been gone.—Cor. Herald. INCIDENTS OF THB BATTLE ©F OLTJSTBE. The following incidents of the late battlo ln-Fiori da are related by the Herald 1 s correspondent: ‘ During the [thickest of the fight a stalwart ne gro, of tee Ist North Carolina, was seen to rush to the rear, terribly wounded by a musket ball through both cheeks, and bleeding in torrents from his wounds, mouth and nose, but shouting aloud through his swollen lips, dripping with blood, '“ JShree Shreers for Union! Gimmum ’ll I Glmmum ’ll!” and went to the extreme sear, yelling In his broken style the same old rallying cry of “ Gimmum ’ll.” The poos fellow was mortaUy wounded, and is probably now dead. A lieutenant of the same regi ment, who had lost a leg in an engagement in North Carolina, and who had supplied its place with an ar tificial member, consisting of a Btout oaken peg, was present at this fight, and while the battle was as warm rb one would care to experience it, a rebel sharpshooter put <s bullet through his trowsers leg and through his wooden peg. He felt the blow, but esoaped the twinge of pain that generally accompa nies the passage Of a bullet through genuine flesh and muscle, and enjoying a keen cense of the ludi crous, he forgot the battle and its dangers, And gave way to the heartiest and most explosive laughter. He pushed along the line, and approached the colonel, to whom, after a aevere effort. he was able to communicate the cause of his mirth. Almost oonvulsed with laughter, he exclaimed: “Colonel I By George! The damned rebels have shot me through the wooden leg I Ha! ha! Devilish good joke on the fellows!” and he hobbled back to his position in the line. ....... Once or twice tne enemy’* cavalry attempted to push our line, Out Were checked and driven bask by our cavalry. Tbe pursuit was not made in force! and we retired to Barber’s again, making a msroh of thirty-four miles during the day, and fighting a se vere battle three hours and a half in duration. The enemy’s strength is variqpsly estimated from eight to twelve thousand men, a portion, it is reported, from Johnston’s army, consisting of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and two or three batteries of artillery. As nearly as we can ascertain, the follow ing are a portion of the regimentsiepposed tons: Ist, 2d, sth, and 6tb Florida Infantry; Ist and 2d regiments Florida Cavalry j Clinch’s Cavalry, (which is possibly identical with one of the above); Ist bat talion Florida ArtiUfty ; frith, frtb, 31. and 19th Georgia Infantiy; 4th battalion of Georgia Cavalry, Ist regiment Georgia Regular Infantry, Ist regiment Confederate Infantry (regulars), and a battalion of secular artillery—in the aggregate about 10,000 men. Gen. Frank Gardner, of Fort Hudson fame, waa said to he in command, with Generals Cllqultt and Finegan. Our force was much smaller, and went into the fight after a fatiguing march of seventeen miles, met the enemy in their chosen position, be hind defences, and in a long and severe fight so severely handled them that they could not pursue. A HEW BBBBL DEPART HUNT. A Mobile paper learns that the brave, ikurui, and highly distinguished officer, General Withers, has been assigned, by order of Lieut General Folk, to the command of a new military district, which will embrace all that portion of Alabama, Mississippi, and Bast Louisiana, extending to parallel 32, to be known as the “District of Alabama.” General Wtthere’ headquarters will be at Montgomery. GENBRAL JOHNBTON. The Knoxville Register sayß: Gen. Johnston has been working wonders. Every one seems to have confidence in his military capaoity. All seem wil ling to trust to him in directing the fortunes of this aimy In the tremendous struggle whioh we all know spring will soon bring upon us. Strength of our Armies. The figures below are derived from official sources: According to the official report of the Provost Marshal General to Congress, 68,243 volunteers en listed In the army from the Ist of January to the Ist of November, 1863. The draft, daring the same peiiod, realized 36,000 men. A total of about 100,000 new men were thus added to the army in the ten months mentioned. Our losses, In the same time, by battle, disease, eapture, and discharge, did not exceed that number; so that on the Ist of No vember last the Strength of the Federal army was substantially the same as on the preceding Ist of Ja nuary. Since the Ist of November up to last Monday, between 110,000 and 112,000 volunteers, under the. President’s last call, have been formally mastered Into the United Statee service. About 10,000 more, are enlisted, but as they are not yet formally mus tered in, I do not inolude them In my calculations. Thus, our army is at this moment 112,000 stronger than It was on the Ist of January ,1863, nearly four teen months ago. Noristhisall. Up to the end of last week, no lets than 65,000 oolored troops have been reported a* regularly organized to the department. About 15,000 more are enlisted, but not yet formed Into regiments. Of the former number, at least one-third are already so efficient in all military du ties, that they can safely be employed In offensive operations. The remaining forty thousand are pro-. ficient enough to be used for garrisoning towns and fortifications, guarding ddpOti, promoting line* of communication, &c. As they fill the places of an equal number of \vhlte troops that would be re quired for the same cervices, they oan be troll re garded ae a corresponding acoession to our effective Strength. Next comes the Invalid Corps. Itjoum bers at this time nearly 25,000 men. Here wad else where its service* have proved invaluable, and as it has relieved an equal number of troops, n« for field duty, it may likewise be put down as a dear gain to the army. Its usefulness is great, not only in garrisoning, guarding, tea., lut also in doing away with the principal cause of tbe depletion of our armies in tne seventy thousand deserters and ab f fISS » T?/fi er »1 army must have at the present time In 1863 being balanced, as shown above, tw vnlnntaryealtrtments and thft draft, In the same SLind™trenrtb greater by at least 250,000 men than ft had OT toe let of January, 1363. Thia may aeem a large figure, but I know It Is rather below than above the footings up of the War Department. That we have gained 150,000 men—ll2,ooo whites, toe balance colored—ln the laat two months, is ab solutely proved by the official returns. There are still other reasons for a hopeful contemplation of tbe future. A misimpreiilon prevails among the pubito at large in the North aa to the number of old soldiers that will be loat to the servloe In the coutie of the year hy the expiration of their terms of enlistment. The total number of men whose three-years’serviee will end previous to the Ist of January next is not over two hundred thousand. Only about one-sixth of these are entitled to a discharge before the first August next, so that the great mass of the veteran soldier* would remain avaUable, under aUolroum stances. at tout for another ipnog *°u campaign.

The following report concerning Mazzlni ap peal* in a Pari* letter to the London Doily Newt, 11 It Will probably Bug prise you to learn that Mazzlni ia ordered for trial before a French maize court. Such, however, iB the statement of a French journal. An indictment has been framed against Mazzini as an accomplice of the four Italians; Gredo, Imperatori, Trabucoo, and Saglio, in a plot against the Emperor’* life. Preach courts are in the habit of trying people in their absence and pro nouncing awful sentences against them, even ex tending to death. But suob sentences are mere mockery, for whenever the aooused party ohoosea to appear he is entitled to a new trial; It is, how ever, a very curious fact that the Frenoh Govern ment should persist in attributing to Mazzini a da. sign to take the Emperor’s life by the hands of hired assassins. Hitherto the general belief has been that, whatever exception may be taken to Mazzlni** Ideas, he is a sincere man, and thathis denial of any participation In the Paris plot was worthy of ail credence.” —General Burnside was taken by a very pleasant assault and battery, at Augusta, Maine, the other day, if we may credit the Portland Tress, which, in referring to his welcome at the Council Chamber, says: “That quite a large company of young la dies, married and single, held back very retiringly till others had left tho coaat dear, when they took the gallant soldier by storm, and with well-directed aim planted their kisses directly in his face,” M. Mercler, the Frenoh minister at Washing ton, now at Paris, has asked to be transferred to some other post, and it is thought that an arranga ment may be made by whioh the transfer can be ae oompUshed. M. Meroier will probably go to Mu nich, and M. Nouree, now at Athens, to Washing ton. M. de Gobineau, now at Teheran, is also a candidate for transfer, and may be considered as having a ohance for Washington, It is said that the present Queen of Denmark Is virtually the ruler of the nation. She is a strong minded woman, and to her belongs the credit of bringing about the preient relations of her family with the reigning house of England, and also of re commending her son as a candidate for the throne ol Greece.

The New Hzxe&hisz Election.— The election for Statejofflcers in New Hampshire takes place on Tuesday next. The Union candidates are Joseph A- Gilmore, the present Incumbent, for Governor, and P> C. pbeney for Railroad Commissioner. The Opposition candidates are Edward W. Harrington for Governor, and A. A. J. Vaughan for Railroad Commissioner. Members of both houses of the Le gislature, with various county and town officers, are also to be voted for. The canvass, thus far, has been characterized on both sides by great activity and energy, but the contest will he a close one. The soldiers sent from that State into the field cannot vote, and some ten or twelve thousand votes'are thus lost to the Union ticket. Last year there were three candidates for Governor; and Mr. Gilmore, not receiving an actual majority over all others, was elected by the Legislature. This year, with only two candidates, the contest is necessarily sharply drawn, and the majority for either tieket cannot be The can vass of the State by the Republican State Com mittee has usually been very thorough and accu rate, differing but little from the actual returns.
