Col. Lehman’s Regiment.
The 103 d Regiment, under command of
. Col- LeLman (late Lieutenant Colonel of. Sam.
Black’s Regiment) now stationed at Camp
Orr, is gradually filling up, and will soon re-
Ccive marching orders. A letter writer says :
■ “Most of ns are tolerably comfortable, but
•till, many are badly off for blankets, socks,
shoes, and overcoats. £ understand, howev
•r, that-owing to the untiring exertions of
' Col.' Lehman, theso articles will-soon be furn
ished to the most needy by privaie_contribu
tlon. Col- Lehman has already endeared
himself to us all by many acts of kindness
and consideration. Although a rigid disclpli
nirian, he yets omits no opportunity of min
istering tothe wants and comfort* of those
under bis command. I have often heard the
remark through camp that ‘a man who would
' sot fight for Col. Lehman would not fight un
der any. circumstances'/ and I believe it. The
. number of men now in Camp is about 750; so
we need but*7s men to fill our ranks to the
minimum standard. When these are obtain-
fed, I understand wo will receive marching
. orders, and leave offleors to recruit the re
.- . inainder. There are eleven companies in
■'* camp, but four of which (M’Laughlin's, Gil
lespie's, Hamilton's and Stele’s,) hare the
full compliment of 101 men. Our company
Jacks about fifteen of that number, and most
of the other* are much smaller, but I believe
all have a fair prospect of filling up soon.”

FEOI YESTERDAY'S EVENING GAZETTE.!
Arrest of a Suspected Murderer. 1
two years ago a horrible murder was j
committed near Vincennes, Indiana, by a I
man named W. B. Smith, under the following .
circumstances: Smith appeared at Vincennes, :
in a destitute condition, and applied at tbfe j
bouse of a railroad conductor, outside the•
city, and asked for something to eat. There ,
wsj no male person in the house, and but two !
females—the wife of the conductor and a ser
vant girl. Smith .was furnished with a meal, \
and then asked for work. The lady set him ;
at work sawing wood, but he soon after quit,
and went into the house. In the kitchen, he j
attacked the servant girl and murdered her in
the moat cold-blooded and brutal manner, and :
immediately after attempted to kill the lady, i
but she fled and escaped to the city. Smith’s j
object was evidently to murder both the wo
men, and then rob the house. The escape of 1
the lady foiled him, and he fled—but be was !
soon overhauled and committed to prison,
from which place he subsequently succeeded
in escaping, and has not since been discovered. |
The police authorities at Vincennes made [
every effort in their power to apprehend the j
murderer, and descriptive bills were sent all -
over the country. A daguerreotype likeness
of. Smith was sent hore, and baa for some time
graced the B ogue’s Gallery in the Mayor's of- i
lice. Qn Tuesday evening, officer Richard
son, while on duty on tho wharf, arrested a
min on a charge of vagrancy and drnnken- :
ness, and placed him in the lock up. He gave i
his name as Barns, but answers the general
description of Smith so perfectly that he has
been committed to jail until the question of
identity is fully settled. There is one peculi
arity which goes far to confirm the suspicions
of the officers: Smith's right eye was defec
tive—(he iris being covered with a whitish
film —and the same deformity is apparent in
the right eyo of Burns.-' When aslced if be
had ever beon at Vincennes, ho stated that he
had worked near there on the railroad and
canal, but lately returned from Salt Lake city.
It may be possiblo that he is not the man—
but the officers are only discharging their
duty in detaining him until Hie fact it satis
factorily ascertained.
From the Thirteenth Regiment.
Rev. A. M. Stewart, Chaplain of the Thir
teenth Regiment, Col. Rowley, writas a
lengthy letter to the United Prttbyterian, of
this week, from whioh we extract the follow
ing :
“Our Thirteenth Regiment has overgrown
itself. Instead of ten-companies, of a hun
drod men each, which constituted a full regi
ment, we have twelve companies, and nearly
all full, with men coming, or wishing to come.
Popularity has, however, its evils, and our
growth its advantages. Ours being so much
tho largest regiment in the-brigade, and per
haps considered the most fitted for eernce ;
on it, in consequence, has fallen nearly all
the demands for special service and outside
duties. A huge earthern structure, called
Fort Pennsylvania, largo and strong as the
celebrated Malakoff, near by our encampment
—or alt near by it—said national defense re
quired to be properly guarded and defended,
having the big guns ready for the the
moment a ragged Secessionist may show him
self in the distance. Captain Fultwood, with
liis Pittsburgh bora, has been detailed for
said service, and shut up in the earthero en
closure. -
“About fourteen miles above us on the river j
is a place called Great Falls, where it was ap- |
prehended the rebels might jump acrp&l some |
dark night, and thus make an unwaty'march
on Washington. In order to prevent such a
oalamity, Captains Foster and Enright have
been detached with their two hundred men,
for the past month. Some days since, three
hundred wild Irishmen, who have been build
ing an additional fort in oux neighborhood
for good Uncle Samuel, actually got it iuto
their heads to quarrel with the old gentleman;
all this, too, about the amount of wages and
kind of food he furnished them. Sajddlffer
ence of opinion presently took the shape of a
row, and, as a result, a cessation from all
work; by which'minor rebellion serious ap
prehension was entertained in the minds of
. quiet dwellers near by, and aid was called for.
Captain Duff, with his Birmingham lads, was
at once detached to the locality. The sight
of their bayonets acted as a charm in favor of
.peace and order. The company has, never
theless, been ordered to quarter Itself in said
locality for a time, lest when the pressure be
removed the stream might again chance to
rise.”
Pennsylvania Soldiers Poisoned-*
Deserters Arrested.
No Httle excitement prevails among the
78tb Pennsylvania regiment, Col. Hay, now
stationed on the line of the Northern Central
railway, guarding the bridges. Two of their
number, Forrester Littleand SyposJ were
on Wednesday night last poisoned by drink
ing some whisky tendered them by an un
known person, while on duty as guards at
Lutherville. Sypes died on Friday, and his
remains Were conveyed to York on Saturday,
and interred. Little expired on Saturday,
and on Sunday his remains were conveyed to
Gettysburg, Pa., his ; birth-place, for inter
ment. Both cases were examined by several
physicians and pronounced to be the result
of poison administered by liquid. They wore
both young men, and said to be highly re
spected by those who knew them.
Daring the past week, a number of Penn
sylvania volunteers were arrested in Littles
town, Adams county, and Hanover, York
county, Pa., as deserters from Gen. Banks'
eolhmn, and conveyed to Baltimore over the
Northern Central Railroad, where they were
remanded to the proper officers.
Death from Intemperance.
Coroner McClung held an inquest to-day
upon the body of Thoms* Jones, laborer, re
siding near the Eighth Ward school house,
who died about ten o’clock this morning, in
convnliiqfis. It appears that Jones bad a dif
ficulty, on Monday afternoon, with two men
named Hugh Conway and Michael Carr,
who came into Jones.’ house intoxicated.
During the scuffle, Conway threw-Jones
against the bed-post, cutting hit* head badly
and causing him tq feint. Ha got batter, how
ever, and was about on Tuesday. - During the
night he became very ill,. and about an hour
before his death Dr. AValter was called and
pronounced bis case hopeless, as ha was suf
fering from delirium tremens.
:i Humors of foul : play were circulated, but
after the case had been fully
turned out tbat the shall had not been frac
tured ; that the deceased was a very intem
perate man, and bad not been sober for three
months."
• The jury found tbat the deceased came to hi;
death from the effeeta of intemperance. He
leaves a wife and family.

The Emancipation Regolation* In
the House of Hepreseatatiires, 1
On the first day of of Coifgress, '
Mr. Elliot, of Massachusetts, offered tho fol
lowing resolution*:
Rttolvtd, By the House of Representatives
_ofthc United States of America :
fVrtl —That In behalf of the people of these
States, we do again Solemnly declare, that the !
war in Which we are now engaged against the
insurgent bodies now in arms against the
Government, has for its object tbe suppres
sion of such rebellion, and the re-establish
menf of tbe rightfulauthority of tho National
Constitution and Laws over the entire extent
of our common counUy.
Second—That while we disclaim all power
undot the Constitution’ to interfere by ordi
nary legislation with the institutions of tbe
several States, yet the war now existingmust
be conducted according to the usages and
right* of mitltary Service, and that, during
ita continuance, the recognized authority of
the maxim that the safety of the State, in the
highest law, subordinates right of property,
and dominates over civil relations.
Third —That, therefore, we do hereby de
clare that, in our judgment, tbe President of
the United States, as theCommander-in-Chief
of our army, and the officers in command
under him, have the right to emancipate all
persons held as slaves in any Military Dis
trict in a state of insurrection against the Na
tional Government, i and- that we respectfully
advise that such order of emancipation be is
sued whenever the same will avail to weaken
the power of tho rebels in arms or to.,
strengthen the military power of tbe loyal
forces.
Mr. Dunn, of. Indiana, (Rep.,) moved to
lay the resolution on the table; nut the motion
was disagreed to, by yeas 56, against 70.
, The question recurring on Mr.. Elliot’s
resolution, Mr. Boscoe A. Conkling proposed
an amendment, which Mr. Elliot accepted, so
as to make the resolution apply to the slaves
of disloyal citizens. '
On motion of Mr. Stevens, the farther con
sideration of the resolution was postponed
nntil to-morrow week, in order that it may be
discussed aud amendments be submitted. He
was in favor of the main features of the prop
osition, but desired modification- ■ -
The vote to lay on the table, was a test vote,
and the classification is as follow: *' .' "
Nats—Opposition <3l; . Republicans 12;
Members elected by a Union of Parties 11.
Nats—All Republicans.
The members from this county, Messrs.
Moorhead and M’Knight, did not vote:
The United States Senate.
Washington, Dec. 2.— There were the ]
usual greetings in the Senate, although on '
net quite as exfended a scale as in tbs' House.
I did not see Mr. . Wilmot, bat Mr. Cowan
was in his scat. There woa Preston Kinjs, of
New York, whom everybody seemed .anxious
’to see, and who seemed anxious to see every-,
body ; great old Ben Wade, with his
hard, rugged, honest face; the 1 'smooth and
youthful-looking Latham ; L - Sumner, tall,
graceful, and handsome; the stately Foot, of
New Hampshire; Trumbull, smiling pleas
antly to everybody around him; Wilson,'of
Massachnsetts/who looksjbe Soldier, with or
without bis uniform ; Harris, of Now York,
the very personation of Senatorial dignity;.
Fcssendeu, with bis keen, clear, sharp, and -
'jptellectnal face. Lane, of. Kansas, satiu hU !
seat, bundled up in brown fur, looking a little j
harder and loughor from his military expert- ]
cnees. Bright, of Indiana, and ■ Powell, of!
Kentucky, were Id their seats, to,tbe surprise I
of many who remembered their, former posi- |
tion and professions. Senator. Bright ap-'i
peared to be a good deal distressed at tho po- j
sition he finds himself occupying. lam told, j
however, he Is demoted in.his loyalty, end un- i ;
compromising-in his support of the Govern- I
meat. In explanation of hb letter from “My [
Farm,” he says that it was written hastily,
and without consideration, and that ihe cir
cumstance hadmlmost entirely passed from his
recollection. Senator Powell,
it is said, regrets the false position he has
been oocupving, and is explicit in ,1m declara
tions of devotion to tbe Union. .
Tho bill offered by Senator Trumbull, to .
confiscate the slaves and property of those in J’
arms against the Union, created quite a
sation io tbe galleries. It is too early in thoH
session to learn the temper of the Senate, but -
from what I can loam, I atp confident that
both that body and the House have resolved
to support the most stringent measures for
crushing the rebellion, no matter what may
be tho nature. The'exciting Question will b«
. the abstract proposnifMP'ijjMlidbating and
arming the stavos of the enemy-, it is to be
hoped that the friends will oc-:

or division of sentiment. NodU'qrg buteffec

him to the departed Lyon, who perished un
der such melancholy circumstances at Spring

brilliant beyond parallel; and this, as well as
the faot that he had in him “tho conscience
of the fight," induced, the President to pro
