Th* Sortk American Almdnao was, Indeed, a worthy predecessor, and the publisher of the JTa&ma!

But we may .regard the new undertaking as a continuance, with an enlarged scope, of the old enlepriie; and with a dear field to favor it, and suoh ability, dili genee and resources brought to bear Upon it, aa the velum* before us so abundantly and •atisfestorUj bears the Impress of, in aU its departments and multifarious details, Wo may augur for. the Jfational Aiwutnae a long and •ueoestful oourse of. honorable usefulness.

Ihe propriety of this arrangement will be apparent, when ere men tion, in brief, the oontents of this valuablo work.

We have been furnished with a copy of th* annual report of.the Managers of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital for the year 1362. The President, Thomas Bakewel!,Esq., opens hip report by alluding to the successful com pletion of the new Insane Hospital at Dix mont, and the removal of the Insane patients from the old hospital thereto. (We published a full description of the Dixmont Hospital, on the oeeaslen of the opening celebration.) Sufficient time has not elapsed since the re moval of the patients to enable the Board to form a definite estimate of the cost of' main taining the institution at Dixmont, as com pared with Its former location; but the gen oral advaneo in the price of provisions and other commodities will render it necessary to raise the rate of board in the hospital. A large increase of patients would render it neoessary to extend the hospital by the emo tion of one or more wings, as originally de signed, The wards And dormitories will not famish eomfsrtable aooommodatiooa for many more patients* Tbe.Board alludes to the ob jections made to admitting insane convicts to the general hospital, whir* the Innoocnt vic tims of .insanity areexpesed to association with the criminal. It Unhoped that Pennsyl vania will follow the example of some of her sister States, and provide an asylum for in sane criminals, as well as an institution for the reoeption and reformation of Inebriates. In reply to inquiries from the War Depart ment, the hospital in tha Ninth Ward has been tendered to and accepted by tho Gover nment, fof the accommodation of sick and wounded' soldiers. The building hat been wholly transferred to the officers of the United States, who havo mado the neoessary altera tions, and are now occupying the wards with their.patiants. , The whole number of insane, In the United States, as appears by the census of 1360, is 2fi,W9; Idiotic: 18,865—insane and idiotic, 45,864. The whole population U 31,441,546 wheao* It follows that there is one In mae person out of 1,310 of the population ; one idiotic out of 1,666; and one luiotio or insane oat of 730. In Pennsylvania £i»ere hri 1,766 insane, and 1,642 idiotic.- This number far ezoeeda the means provided for their treatment, yet their proportional num ber-is less than In some of the other States. , From the report of Dr. J. A;, Heed, Super intendent and Physician bf Ihe Insane’De partment, vo learn that there are now 114 petieati-in the-hospital—67males and-. 47 fe males. There were received during 1862; 71 petienll, and 181 under trthtment. OL-these, 25 were discharged, reoovered; 30 improved, 0 unimproved ; and 3 died—total discharged, 67. The total number' rebslred since April l|t, 1856, is 607—363‘male* and J 244 females. Of this aggregate, 240 reoovered, 143 weredis oharged improved, 54 unimproved, and 66 died. • - Zho Zroaturer, John Harper, Eiq., ahowa a balanooof oath in tho treatary of $2,331 15. .Only.a amall amount of bohofaotlona hfa boon raoeiTOd dnring thoyoar.

Rodney Mason, who was disgracefully dismissed from the service on the fceeh of his surrender of Clarksville, on the vague general chargee of cowardice and imbecility, though without any trial, is here, demanding a couri of inquiry. He is fortified with depositions from eye-witnesaes, touching all .point* of his oonduct in the'.fisld. The entire Ohio del egation, without distinction party, both Senators, and Representatives, have to-day united in tbe following representation to the President: To Bio Excellency K Abraham Lincoln t 1 We have heard read the testimony taken by Col. Rodney Mason, late of the 71st Ohio, touohing the conduct on whieh, wo underr stand, he waft dismissed from military service. The effect of this testimony was-to satisfy ns that it is alike unjust to our State, the service and Col. Mason ; that the grounds of his dis missal should bo investigated by a ocurt of inquiry, and we ;respect!ully aud earnestly nquest that suoh an inquiry may be ordered. Seoreiary Stanton is understood to have de clared that if Mason was -granled a court of Inquiry he would resign. The probability is that he will have an opportunity to make the throat good. MB. OLAT BBAEPOIHTED MtHISTBI TO BUSS LA, As recently announced in the** dispatches, Mr. Cemeron has resigned, and Mr. Clay has been reappointed Minister to Russia. COHQBBSBIOHAL, Senator Powell was very indignant in the Senate, to-day, at Gen. Gilbert's act in dis persing- the reoont convention of secession sympathisers at FrankforC He did not think to explain that he regarded it as a great personal grlevanoe, inasmuch as that dispersal of his friends prevented his being nominated for Governor, bat ho loudly deolared Gen. Gilbert a military despot, and his act one of unbridled tyranny. Mr. Wilson replied that be had not the slightest doubt tbit the men dispersed were traitors soothing under the name of Demo crats, and deolared that there htd not been an orphan or widow made by thii wqr who could not traoe her or his woes to. treason, fos tered under the seme guise of Democracy. Tfie galleries burst out in loud applause at this home thrust. The House Cenforenoe Committee on the Finasoe bill was confounded in last night's dispatches with another Committee appointed at the the same time. The mem bers really appoiated on the part of the House for conference on finanee are Messrs. Stevens, Morrill and Trimble. The Senate Committee was dDrreotly transmitted last night. She inferences drawn from the composition ef those Committees are that the Benate. will oarry its points, of that there will be a failure to sgteo/and a request for the appointment of another Committee. ,rushes IHTSBVXHTIOH. ■The stories of immediate Frenoh tipn, started in the New York **» nOt crediUd'kere. Washihotox, Feb. 22. . COafiBIUIOMAU The Concriptioh - bill - was taken up in the House on Saturday, and the previous ques tion at once clapped on. Jlhe peso* Demo crats threaten to fifiiVuiter but that can result la nothing, as it .lit impossible for them to re sist the will of the majority continuously day and night, from how till the 4th oi March, whioh they would haveuto do to defeat the bill. Tha Republicans will offer no amend ments, but will cause some defects by subse quent legislation.. \ The House also put tbe Senate's letter of marque bill in eSafe way for passage, by re ferring it to the NavelOoamittee, with power to report at any time. Most of the Important measures, for this Congress, are either thus woried ojf or in'the way of being speedily reached. The business is further ahead; than is customary at this stage of the session, and the Etpablioans are hurrying it up for fear of the democrats at tempting.to fiUlbuster towards the dost. The Joint Conference Committee of the .two houses on the finance bill are in informal sution. to-night,at the eapttol. Secretary Chase is with them, urging the House to Con cur in the Senate amendment. A conclusion will probably be reached to-night if an agree ment at all proves posilble. Outside conject ures are that the House Committee standi one for and one against the Senato amendments, with Ttfad. Slovens doubtful. Should he in cline to Secretary Chase's riewi that would insnro their triumph j but his Antecedents aro the other way. • j The postal bill. was amended in important particulars by the House before its passage. The section giving postmasters salaries In stead of eoinmlisioos was stricken out, fitter presentations'of tbfi easeby Mr. Colfax, who was orer-ruled in his Committee oh this point. Tho compensation stands as at present. Tho fribiklng privilege, unintentionally abolished by the Senate, whose bill fixed the rates on all postal matter, was modified as follows: Letters to persons entitled to the franking privilege, except 'members of Congress, and subordinate government officers on official bueineii,are no longer free. Postmasters re oolTing lest th*n $2OO annually are no longer entitled to frank. Drop letters remain at the present rates, where there Is no Carrier sys tem; whore there is a carrier system, two cents and freo delivery. The House, bysixteen majority, voted sol diers* letters free, a provision, whloh the Sonata will probably strike out The uniform newspaper and letter rates are retained. The Senate confirmed all the naval nomina tions exoept Sherwood.
