Besides supplying our troops, at tention has been given te the work of explo ration, as far as possible, and tho distribution of the Scriptures. The House- of Refuge County Poor House, mud other Public Build ings, Mission Schools, and individuals, have been supUed, and no proper application has been refused. With all toe unfavorable cir cumstances that surrounded us at the opening of the year—scarcity of money said to exist m-ojir country work, and tho paralysing ef fect on the manufacturing and commercial in- J® re *fe-Of the city, in consequence of the breaking out of the rebellion—we have abnnd • ant reason for thankfulness for the timely aid . afforded by the friends of this noble cause, not -Telthstandiog the large contributions given for war purposes, and for the expected good to be accomplished by the circulation of~thn Word of God among oar brave troops. Let u» thank God and take courage. Details of be presented in another place. .Although the attention of the contributors and friends of the eause is frequently called to the two-fold object of the Society, yet we deem ft proper to note that after supplying the des tituto in Pittsburgh, and part of the county. Is tp appropriate the surplus funds to aid the Pennsylvania Bible Society, thereby helpine to promote the circulation of the Word of God in distant places. Some idea may be formed -or the extensive work of tbo parent society when it is stated that nearly ninety thousand copies of the Scriptures have been distributed from the .Bible House at Philadelphia by of Uie Auxdtiary. Societies, and we learn by-information furnished by the General • Agent of the Western .work, Rev. Dr. Aikin,' that the Parent' Society directly, or through its- numerous branches, furnished over sixty thousand Testaments, gratuitously, to the i isUiin. : This feature itself of the operations of the Bociety is worthy of congratulation. . Brides the efficient distribution of Bibles, through the local auxiliaries, they give large .. . *nms for aiding distribution in foreign lands. . Thirty years ago the society gave $lO,OOO to tend the Scriptures to the Sandwich Islands, an investment that has produced.gracious’ results. . irhiie bur Society donates its surplus funds ! to the parent society, it gives a portion of Its money to tbe;American Bible Society. Thus we ;are Indirectly doing part towards the . evangelisation of the world. The American Bible Society, during the last eight months, has issued 803,000 Biblos and Testaments, bejug-321,000 more than issues of the like period in the. previous yrar. The average is *PP a .M,OQO. volumes each working day, or say ] seven ydames per minute, over 000,000 bar- | ing gone for, the volunteers,- since the com mencement of the war. * Besides thn demands . for the army, strong calls eome from abroad, i ' - SP*** 11 * Turkey, including Bulgaria.

A meeting of citizens, was held yesterday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, at the Board of Trade Booms, to devise some plan for furnishing supplies to the Sanitary Commission. On motion of Mr. Thomas Bakewell, Mr. S. F. Vos Boxnhorst was called to tbe Chair. After stating the object of the meeting, the President introduced Mr. Wm. H. Iladloy, the regularly authorized agent of the Com mission, who explained briefly the object and the operations of tho Commission since its or ganization. Tho caro of the sick and wound ed is one of the most important duties im posed upon the government, and under the present organization of the army it is utterly impossible to give that attention which is de manded by tbe sick and wounded, hence the necessity oT some organized system of relief on the part of the public. The 6rst great object- of the Commission was to keep the soldier in health, and next to help him wheu sick or wounded. The object of. Mr. Hadley’s visit here is to secure the organization of a Branch Society, to act In concert with and under the direction of tbe-Sanitary Commission at -Washington. It is estimated that the Commission will re quire, for tho year’s operations, about $75,O(>U, of.whieh -sum over $50,000 have already been collected., Philadelphia, for instance, con tributed about $5,000, by moans of a branch organization. In answer to a question by Mr. Bakewell, Mr. Hadley remarked that the Commission paid special attention to securing the wages of the floldierfor the nse of his family—placing it in safe hands, and forwarding it to its des tination. v Mr. Bakewell spoke very favorably of the objects and operations of the society, and re marked that while Pittsburgh had already contributed largely to tbe relief of the sick and wounded soldiers, her citizens' would doubtless be willing to do still rn'ore. One of the great advantages of actingin concert with a central organization, wputd.be the more ju dicioue distribution of the goods and money donated. He commended the formation of a society _ here, and expressed regret that so many of these “patriotic” gentlemen who signed the call for this meeting, bad failed to attend. Mr. Isaiah Dickey alluded to the numerous Committees of Ladies, formed,in almost every district in-Xhe country, who were actively em ployed in collecting mooeye, making up cloth ing, etc., and in this connection he suggested the appointment of a Committee to lay this 'matter before tbe public, to secure harmony of notion, and to co-operate with tho Parent Society at Washington. * A. 8. Bell, Esq., endorsed the suggestion of Mr. Dickey, and advocated the appointment of a Committee to arrango some uniform plan of operations^ A gentleman" suggested the propriety of conferring with the Subsistence Committeo on this subject, but Mr. Wttm&n'explained thut the object of that Committee was simply to attend to the wants of soldiery passiogthrougb the city, and anything they had done in the way of contributing to the sanitary wants of the army, was dono as individuals, and out side of tbe purpose of their organization. After: some further discussion, it was re solved that Mr. Hadley (in conjunction with Messrs. Von Bonnhorst, Bakewell and Bell) be authorized to suggest the names of a num ber. of onr citizens, to be chosen as Honorary Members of the -Sanitary Commission at Washington, whose duty it shall be to organ ize an auxiliary society herb, and manage and direct ite operations. The meeting then ad journed. Harper's Magazine fob February.—So universally known and so generally esteemed.

Col, McCook* of the Ohio Ninth. _ By a telegraphic dispatch received by Dr. George McCook, of this city, we are happy to learn that (fa* gallant Colonel McCook, of tbe Ninth Ohio regiment, was hot dangerously wounded, as was - at first feared, in the late glorious action, in which he bore so conspic uous a part,'at Somerset, Kentucky. The dispatch, in curt phrase gives the fqrtunc of tbe brave regiment which followed Col. Mc- Cook, and seems to have borne the brunt of that long and desperate encounter with the rebels, tbe result of which was to dislodge them from their stronghold and give us pos session of both banks of the Cumberland river. It says: “The bally Ninth was badly cut'up.” Pittsburgher Taken Prisoner by tbe Rebels.— We received a letter yesterday, dated at Birds PointjMo., Jan. 18, and signed by J. H. Frost, from which we learn that a Pittsburgher named Wetzell, was taken pris oner by some rebels in the vicinity of Owens boro, Ky., some time since, and is now con fined in the Memphis jail. Mr. Frost states that Wetzel was engaged in buying dried fruit In Kentucky which he intended to ship to Pittsburgh, and'that after being captured, the rebels robbed him of everything no had.

The horse was brought to Pittsburgh, and-sold hero to a man named Shields, who subsequently, disposed of him to Mr. llolmce, residiug in Charters township. The animal was traced to Holmes’ possession, and claimed by the original owner. Goodman bad in tho meantime disappeared. After n lengthy hearing before Mayor Wilson, to-day, M’Elbcnny made good hiv title to thb-horse, which, was given into his custody, leaving Holmes and Shields to settle with Goodman, if h« can bo found. Tiik Lats Counterfeit.— Wo haro already uoticed tho arrest of two men, in Allegheny, charged with passing a new counterfeit bill on the Blue Util Bank, Massachusetts. Tho samo bill was offered simultaneously in tho eastern cities, and there seems now to be an understanding between counterfeiters as to the titmj when new batches shall be “shoved” on the public.

New SLtspijro Cars.—The Philadelphia Car Works has just completed two of Wood ruff’s patent sleeping cars, for the Pittsburgh, Fort- Wayne A Chicago Railroad Company. These cars differ somewhat from those of the same patent heretofore in use, they having bad several important improvements intro duoedjnto them, one or which is the manner in which the cars arc ventilated. This is done by alternately opening small windows which are placed in the side of araised roof. Another improvement is the manner in which the seats aro transformed into couches, thus giving moie room and convenience than fbore constructed on the old method. ■ ThcAbhost Committeb.'- Hon. Win.

This necromancer, whn..haa announced two gift entertainments in this city, has got into a “peck of trouble?' It is alleged that at Harrisburg be humbugged the people moat effectually by advertising I hat a'horse, a sew ing machine, n gold and a silver watch, ladies’ dress goods, Hack*'of flour, and jewelry of various kinds, would be distributed in the shape of gifts to those who were lucky enough to draw the prize tickets. The’ bouse was full; but no horse, no sewing machine, no clothe*, flour, etc., was forthcoming—and the affair wound up by the distribution of bogus jewelry. The “Fakir,” in answer to this, asserts that ho awarded all tho prizes that were drawn, and will do eo here. He had made application to Mayor Wilson, for a license, which was withheld under the sixth 'section of chapter twenty-third of the City Digest, as follows : “No person shall soil, give or distribute by lottery or by any scheme of chance, any per sonal or real property, to or among any per son or persons attending or proposing to at tend any performance mentioned in the second and fourth sections of this chapter, or at any theatre.” The performances mentioned include“trick3 of legerdemain,” so that the “Fakir” seems to be effectually ruled out. He is at liberty to exhibit, however, with out tho chance or lottery feature, hot as he claims to have purchased the horse, and other articles, be is certainly in a bad fix. Another Accident from Phosphorus. On Monday evening, Theodore Robbins and John Barr, the latter n police officer, were pretty severely burned at the Mayor’s offioo, by the careless handling of phosphorus. Mr. Barr had a stick of tbe substance in a bottle, and took it out for the purpose of writing hb name with it upon the wall when the phos phorus ignited in his fingers, becoming liquid fire. He threw it through tbe door, a portion of it splashing upon Mr. Robbins, who was in an in.-t&nt “half envuluped in flame, and the room tilled with smoke, a number present at tbe time rushing out to preveot beiug suffo cated. Mr. Robbins took a shawl from bis 1 shoulders, and with it smothered tbe fire, very fortunately escaping with no other in jury than severe burns upon bis hands. His pantaloons and rest were burned to such an extent as do be rendered unfit for lurther use. Mr. Barr’s bauds and clothing also suffered. Another Soldier Dead. We regret to hear of the death of Mr. Tbos. C. Harper, of the First Ward, Allegheny, a member of Captain Hull’s company, Colonel Block’s regiment. We learn that the body will arrive at home to-day, and that the fune ral will take place to-morrow (Thursday) afternoun, at one o'clock, to proceed to Hill dale Cemetery. Captain Hambright’s Com pany«of Home Guards have been requested to attend the funeral. As tho deceased was per sonally kuown to many of the members, we have uo doubt the company will cumply not withstanding the severe and extended march of yesterday.

THE LATEST NEWS BY TELEGBABH. Important from Washington. Washington City, Jan. 22.—The'follbwing has just been received at Headquarters to- Louis riLXE, Jan. 22,1862. Maj. Gsk. McClellax, Commanding fr.'S. Army: The following has just /been received from General Thomas: The route of the enemy was complete. After succeeding in getting two pieces of ar tillery across the river, and upwards of fifty wagons, they were abandoned, with all the ammunition in the depot at Mill Spring. They then threw away 'their arms and dispersed, through the mountain by-ways, in the direc tion of Monticello, but are so completely demoralized that I do not believe they will make a stand short of Tennessee. The pro perty captured on this aide of the river is of great value, consisting of 80 six pounders and two Parrot guns, with caissons, filled with ammunition, about 104 horse wagons, and up wards of 1,200 horses and mules, several boxes of arms, which have never been opened, and from 500 to 1,000 muskets;-mostly flint locks, but in good order, subsistence stores enough to serve the entire command for .three days, also a large amount of hospital stores. As soon os I receive the reports of the brigade commanders, I will ftmmh a detailed report of tbe battle. Our loss is 39 killed and 127 wonnded. Among tbe wounded were Colonel McCook, of the 9th Ohio, commanding the brigade, and his Aid, Lieut. Bart, of the ISth 0. S. Infantry.. The loss of the rebels was Zollicofier and 114 others, killed and buried, 116 wounded; and 45 prisoners, not wounded, five of whom are surgeons, and Lieut. Col. Carter, of the 17th Tennesseo regiment. [Signed] Qkn. Thouas. [Signed] D. C. Buell, Brig. Coin'g.* Washington, Jan. 22.—The following Gen eral Order in respect to the battle of Mill Spring, near Somerset, Ky., has just boen issued: General Order in reepect to the Battle of Mill Spring : War Department, Jan . 22, 1862. Tbe President, Commender-ih-Uhief of the army and navy, has received information of a brilliant victory achieved by tbo United States forces overa large body of-armed trai tors and rebels at Mill Spring, in the State of Kentucky. He returns thanks to the gallant officers and soldiers who won that victory, and when the official reports shall be received tbe military skill and personal valor displayed in tbe battle will bo acknowledged and re warded in a fitting manner. The courage that encountered and vanquished the gteatly su perior numbers of tbe traitor force, pursued and attacked them in their intrenchmont?, and paused not until theenemy was completely routed, merits and receives commendation. The purpose of this war is to attack, pursue and destroy the rebellious enemy, and to de liver the country from the danger menaced by traitors. Alacrity, daring, courageous spirit and patriotic real, on all occasions and uuder all circumstances, are expected from the army of- tho United States. In the prompt and spirited movements and daring battle of Mill Spring tbe nation will realize its -hdpes and the |kcople uf the Unitod States will rejoice to honor every auldior nnd officer who proves his courage by charging with the bayonet and storiaiug intrcnchments in tho blaze of the euomy's firo.

Mr. Cox, of Ohio, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported the Senate bill au thorising Capt. McKean and other Navul offi cers to aooept certain presents from the Em peror of Japan* Mr. Dann, of Indiana, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill, the con sideration of which was postponed, providing for the payment of field officers of volunteer regiments, for services, rendered .prior to the field organisation of their regiments. Mr. Mallory, of Kentucky, from tho Com mittee on Roads and Canals, reported a reso lution, which was adopted, 'requesting the Secretary of War, if net incompatible with the public interests, to inform the House, as soon M whether, and in what time, a sufficient military force can he extended to tbe line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in order that the road may be repaired. The House, in committee of the whole on the State of tbe Union, resumed the consider ation of tho hill making appropriations for executive, legislative and judicial expenses. Mr. Diven, of N. Y., regretted that there was a division of sentiment as to the princi- : pies on which tho war should be conducted, a sentiment which divided not only tho House ! hut tbe country. Ho proceeded to speak in 1 defence of the Executivo and against tbe op- j position of those who have professed and still prufesß to be the President’s friends. Gentle men who wantto prosecute the war for the purpose of abolishing slavery must know that this cannot be done until the Southern army is annihiliated. This end cannot be attained antil the enomy's military strength is de stroyed. Both sides of tbe question wero travelling the same road a; the subject of hos tilities—then, why should we not unite our energies; why introduce distracting elements;' why not first crush, the rebellion, and then deliberately and dispassionately decide what use shall be made of the victory. Mr. Spaulding, of New York, , from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported* a bill to authorise the issne of United States notes, and for the redemption or funding thereof and for the funding of the floating debt of the United States.* The bill was made the special order on Tuesday next. The House, in Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, resumed the consid eration of the bili making appropriations fur execnlive, legislative and judicial expenses. Mr. Dixen made a speech on the stale of. the couotry, and against general emanci pation. •Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, remarked that this was not an accidental rebellion. It bad been premeditated for years past, and i gradually grown up. It would be better to lay the whole South in waste than suffer the entire Nation to be murdered. Better to people that section with a new race of free men, than to. suffer the rebellion to triumph. Tho sentiment of tbe North was that there should be°no cessation of hostilities till the.; rebels lay down thoir arms and submit to tbe authority of the general Government. There cannot be two Governments within tbe limits of tho United States. Tbo war will not end till onr Government shall more fully comprehend the magnitude of tbe contest, and discover that this is an intestioe war, in which one party or the other must be reduced. He repented that this war cannot be ended so long as it is conducted on the present principles. Mr. F. A. Conkling, of N. Y.j offered an amendment, which wa3 adopted, that nothing in this bill shall be construed aa in any man ner impairing the right to reduce tbe compen sation of any officers of the' Government, or abolish any existing office. He mentioned tho fact that the joint commission, on reduc ing civil, military and naval expenses of the Government, had reported several bills with this object. 4 The Committee then rose and tho Horn adjourned. Senate.—Mr. Sumner and others presented several petitions in furor of emancipation. Mr. liale presented a memorial protesting against the appointment of a Solicitor of -Customs; - • r * Howe, of Wia., from the Committee on .Finance, reported back the resolution appfo priatiog $lO,OOO for the expenses of the Joint Special Committees on the_War. Passed. Mr. Trnmbnll, or lit., from the Committee on the Jndiriary, reported back the House bill in regard to witnesses examined before the Committees of Congress, providing that tho examination before Congressional Committees shall not prevent an examination in Courts of Justice. Mr. Harris, of N. Y., objected to tbe bill as making a great innovation on the common law,rulc of evidence, by which a witness is obliged to testify anything which may tend to criminate him. He opposed making such an innovation. Hr. Bayard, of Del., moved to strike out that portion of the bill which would compel a witness to answer question* which may tend to disgrace or mako him infamous. Mr. Trumbull olaimed that the subject of the bill was to put tho witness on common law ground. Tbo law as it . now stands ena bles the greater criminal to osenpo if he can °°‘y . got before an investigating' committee and tell something about it. That very case occurred in relation to the clerk who stolo two million of the Indian bonds and went clear in that very way. ■ ®nyard introduced the amendment. .Mr. Harris offered an amendment that the law shall not be. so construed .as tu xwquire any witness to testify to any fact which would to criminate.

The bill'wns then passed. r''Mr. Wade, from tbe Special Committee on the Conduct of the War, reported a bill autb oming tbe President to take possession of certain railroads and telegraph lions ' Re ferred. V The case of Senator Bright was then taken up. • • V : Mr. Dftris,of Kentucky, raid, in retard to the Senator from Indiana, if he understood his course, he had always opposed any meas ure to coerce the rebellious States, and bring baok peace to the Union. If the. President had pursued such a course, and refused to do any thing to redneo rebellion, he would hare been liable to Impeachment—and shall a Senator pursue the same course, and hot be liable to expulsion. He, Mr. Davis, depre cated the rebellion as stupendous wickedness, and would give the President .every power to crush it out forever. Suppose the whole Government had taken the same course as the Senator from Indiana. The'Union • would have been in ruinsto-day,and the experiment -of self-government destroyed. He did not understand that the Senator from Indiana bad ever shown any "sympatby with the Government, in its life or death straggle, l voted against all measures to subdue therebellion. He (Mr. Davis,}, then .referred to the course of the States which had seceded, contending that there was no cause for seces sion. He considered it a great mlstaketbnt I Old Hickory was not allowed to go on’and hang all traitors from Sooth Carolina, in 1932. He(Mr. Davis,) knew that there were war rants for .treason issued against the , three principal traitors, and at the very first , gun .from- Charleston, Old Hickory would- havc wised these traitors and bung them ; but now tbe conspiracy of thirty years bad broken out in a stupendous rebellion, and there are many people in the South to day Who would tike to have their old enemy, England, relgu.Urer them.. Bather than tfceh a thing should hap. pen» he would prefer to see the whole Ataeri eantoaotry loblr ttt Ihu btftttm of the ocean. In conclualon, he argued that the Senate bad the right to-exralany member whose conduct fn.uiiy._#ftf Whited' 'duty, andwny BenatOr who avoWa himself .opposed to the eo- Cfclnh.'ortraitorsyand who isnoCwiUing to gire thoGorrrntoent ersinglemanorgun to„ tnbdao the rebelCioo,w»3 evidently unfitted M a Senator.
