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

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,

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:

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

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

HAMPTON’S LESION DEFEATED
WITH LOSS.
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&ltle, 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. But there is already * certainty

PERSONAL.
Some ouriosity, says the London Court laurnnt.
exists as to the name and title of the young priaoe.
some asserting that it will be Prlnoe Albert Edward
of Wjtlei, while other* think that he will receive
some such designation as Dnke of Cornwall; ot
Bake of Gloucester. No doubt, however, exists
that his juvenile royal highness will, like his father,
be named Albeit Edward j but It ir, perhaps, not so
umvtrsaliy known that the name by whioh the

For the nearcut precedent we mast go bßok
one hundred and twenty-five yearn, when there were
a sovereign, a Prince of Wales, and an eldest eon of
the Prince of Wales all living. That eldest » o n,
afterward George III.; was then called Duke of
Edinburg, that being one of the inferior titles borne
by his father, Frederick, Prince of Wales. If thia
precedent be followed in the present instance, the
infant prince will, bo called Earl of Dublin, that
'being the only inferior title of the present Prince of
Waltr, which is not inalienably attached to him as
an eldest eon of the reigning sovereign. In default
of this, or some title by oreation, it would teem he
would be called Prince A. of Wales.
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

bringing about the preient relations of her family
with the reigning house of England, and also of re

POLITICAL.
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

GENERAL NEWS.
Soars statistics of the English book trade just
published are interesting. The export of English
bocks to tbe United Statee fell from $700,000 worth
In 186016 leu than halt that in 1861, and toe returns
show that in 1862 It was little over $ mo,ooo. The
export to Australia has also fallen off; In 1859 it
exceeded $630,060, In 1861 it waa $555,000. in 1362 it
was $485,0c0. The export of boobs to France haa
increased ; in 1859 it amounted to $47,845, In 1862 it
was $61,775. To British Noath America, England
sends books to toe value of $115,000 per annum: to
the West Indies $85,000, to India and Egypt $615,000,
The total value of book exportation was, In 1840,
$2,474,225; in 1861 It fell to $2,226,790 jin 1862 it fell
to $2,076,015; but in tbe first eleven months of 1863
It recovered to $2,644,785—the last month of the
year, being always an immense month of exporta
tion, must have carried it up far beyond the average
of the preceding year. The importation of books
for 1862 amounted to $505,265.
