A gentleman formerly of Lynn, Massa chuEsatte. reached hero from New Orleans last night. He had passes from Georgia to pass the rebel lines at New Madrid and New Orleans. Oa Saturday the rebels were in the greatest perturbation on account of the movements of the federal troops. The general opinion was that tho troops were bound for the Tennessee river. The peo ple in this section expect the direct calami ties to fall on them in the coming strug gle, but, as far as possible, take no sides since the federal troops have been in their midst. Carcaoa, January 18.—A special disc path to the Times, dated Cairo, the 18th, says: Four deserters from Columbus arriv ed here last night. They report that there are 40,000 rebel troops encamped at Colum bus, Mr. Collins, of New o:leans, from which place he left eight days ago, states that he escaped by representing himself as a bearer of dispatches from the Bel gian Consul, but was detained :wo days at Columbus. He says the feeling at the South is becoming worse and more bitter every day. [Special I o the Chicago Triburoj A gentleman from Columbus reports that a United States war steamer fired into a French war steamer which was trying to run the blockade at New Orleans. Our steamer fired twelve shots into the French vessel. The affair created geat excitement at Memphis and other plscas. Important from Washington. WASHINGTON, Janaary 18 —The Navy Department has received dispatches from Commander Gleason, of the 11. S. steamer Mount Vernon, dated off Wilmington, N U., giving an interesting account of the burning of a light ship. Having heard the rebels made use of it as a beacon fur guiding vessels in and out of harbor, and for the pernose of annoying our vessels by hoisting I , ghW at night, he determined to take advantage of a hazy right with the wind off shore to effect her destruction Accordingly he despatched a cuttor, under command of acting master Alick Allen, with John P. Fonts, coast pilot, and a crow of five men, and a gig under com. mend of acting master ti.urgis and crews of six men. The boats soon gut within a short distance of the light vessel on offside of Fort Caswell. The two officers, a Boatswain's Mate and a Quartermaster, climbed on board by a rope which was hanging at the Bide.—, The light boat was quite deserted. Car. penters had been at work, and the vessel was being pierced for eight guns. No at tempt was made to molest the expedition until they had kindled the fire, which ef.. factually destroyed tie light ship. The fort did not open on our boats until they were clearly out of harm's way Firing down the Potomac was heard last night between 11 and 12 o'clock. it has since been ascertained tti,.t the rebel bat. tortes had opened on Hooker's command on the Maryland shore, but without darn age. Sarretary of War Stanton will onter upon his duties on Monday. Gen. Cameron will remain in Washing. ton some days, and visit his home before departing for Bun's. An order has just been issued from the Army Headquarters containing the fol. lowing instructions relative to furloughs; The exegeucies of the service demand that every officer and soldier of the army, able to do duty, should be on his post. The Commanding General, therefore, deems it necessary to direct that unless by reason of sickness, upon a medical certificate, no leaves of absence •on furlough shall be granted at the present time, except in ur. gent and exceptional oases, where the ne cessity for the indulgence must be clearly sot forth in the application. It is proper to remark that many of the reasons for which leavejof absence and furloughs have heretofore been granted cannot now be allowed. Paymaster Andrews, of New York, broke his leg near the thigh last night by falling while stepping on the slippery pavement from a carriage, Mrs. Greennow who, for the I:st five months has been under surveillance in her own house was, together with Mrs Baxter, who recently arrived from Richmond with a military commission for Dr. Brown of Baltimore, to-day removed to the Old Capital building.

S. gunboat Rhode I-land, just from the South, reports to the Navy Department, that early on the morning of the let inst., an expedition under Commander Smith, composed of the steamers New Loud m, Rater Witch, and the captured steamer Lewis, with a detachment of seamen, left Ship Island for Mississippi Sound with the view of cutting out some schooners anchor', ed at Biloxi. Aa o' e of the steamers was seen returning with two or three schooners in tos, when the Rhode Island was leaving, the impression on board the Niagara was that the expedition had proved successful. The Rhode Island re., ports having left at Key West the U S. gunboat Itasca from Philadel:ohia via For.. tress Monroe.

It is believed that . good its and morals, as much as compatmciand bravery have not been overlooked to toe examination of all the appointments. In some cases of doubt the Committee,have been voluntarily supplied with docurhents in order to aid them in coming to a favor able conclusion. Complaints have boon made relatire to the jail regulations of Colonel Lsinon, Marshall for the District of Columbiii,wits acts wider the advice of high legal anithor ity. It appears that the reasons for the regulations have either been misundere stood or his motives not known, in require lug members of Congress to procure pose 1-8 from the President of the Ben or Speaker or the House. It was to fatiilitate rather than obstruct their entrance into that heretofore unattractive institution by their making known to the prison guards the official standing of the visitors and se curing their prompt admission. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE HAaaissuno, Jan. 17, 1862 SENATE The Senate was called to order at eleven o'clock by the Speaker. TAXATION Mr. LANDON offered a resolution in. etructing the Committee on Finanoe to re port a bill imposing a tonage and passen ger tax on all canal and railroac companies in the State. Mr• LA.NDON stated that he offered this resolution in good faith and not for ouncombe. The Government was now subjected to extraordinary expenditures, and extraordinary emergencies required extraordinary efforts to meet them. Penn, aylvania must bear her part. He desired to see the war prcsecuted with energy,and was heartily sick and tired of the cry that all is quiet on the Potomac. Mr. BEESON stated that the Commit, to 3 on Finance desired to shirk no respon. siblitty, but all these subjects of taxation were before the commissioners Ippo n.ed to revise the revenue laws of the State.— Phey had already had an interview with the Vommittee of Ways and Means of the House, and the Finance Committee of the Senate. Another meeting would be hell, and a bill framed, and reported in duo time, to ooy(r all subjects of taxation. He trusted that the Senate would not page this resoluti on. Mr. PENNY said it wta doubtful whether the Senate had the power to orig. inate such a bill. He suggested that it be vo amended as to instruct the Finance Committee to inquire into the expediency of such taxation, and repot t to the Senate. The resolution was amended accordingly, and passed. TESTIMONIALS TO VOLUNTEERS qtr. SMITH, of Pailadelphia, offered a resolution raising a pats oommmittee to devise a suitable testimonial to the Penn• rylveinla auldiara who fought ender Baker, et Bell's Bluff, and those who fought an• der Brigadier General Ord, at Draneeville; which was discussed at some length and passed finally.

A committee was aproint ed to confer with the Senate and adjust the differences. A NATIONAL ARMORY. Mr. 11. YERS, of Lancaster, offered a re solution stating that Columbia possessed many advantages as the site of a national armory, and requesting Congress to con sider those advantages. Laid over for one day. I.IIOED FRAUDS IN TEM LZOIBLATURY OF 1861. Mr. HOPKINS, of Washington, offered the following resolution: Wazazai, it is alleged, and is believed by many of the citizens of the Common wealth, that improper influence were used in procuring the passage of an act, at the last session of the Legislature, entitled "An Act for the Commutation of Tonnage Duties," and WHAREAB, It is due alike to.the parties implicated and to the public at large that the allegations upon which said belief is predicated shu ,id be investigated, in order tlat truth may be vindicated and justice be done to all; therefore, lis.oteed, That a committee be appoint• ei, consisting of five, to Inquire into all the facts connected with the paasage of said act, and that they have power to send for persons and papers Mr. SOOTT, of Huntingdon, offered the following amendment: " And that the committee bo instructed to report the ne..nes of all persons or officers, either in or out of the Legislature, by whom or upon whom they may find such influences to have been used." Mr. DENNIS, of Philadelphia, did not think that the Legislature had power to investigate the acts of the Assemby of 1861. That Assembly was dead ) to all Intents and purposes. Mr. ABBOT declared that the .resolu tion was open to the suspicion that it was prompted by othe' motives than a desire to make an investigation. Mr. WILLIAMS of Allegheny, agreed with the gentleman from Philadelphia, that the Assembly of 1861 was "dead;" and more than that, it was in the condition of L .zaz us, foul and repulsive. When the tonnage tax bill was about being passed, he bad stood up in the h ll with the minority of the members, and declared that those who voted for the iniquity should be known no more as members of the House. PIIRDON'S DIQEST The House ag.eed to the Senate resolu tion to purchase Purdon's Digest, and Ziegler's arid Sutherland's manuals, for the use of all the members, and clerks and assistant clerks, Mr. KAINE, of Fayette, offered a re. solution instructing the clerks ti pro• cure the Digests at the lowest wholesale cash price. Those of 1861 had coat $5 each. Mr. tiOPSINS, of Washington, moved to amend by inserting the words "and that the State Treasurer be instructed to deduct the price of the same from the pay of each member and clerk." The amendment was not agreed to, and the original resolution passed. Gen. Buell Ready to Advance CINCINNATI, Jan. 19.—A special to the Commercial from Indianapolis, says that four Indiana regiments in the Green river column have advanced into South Carrol -1 tcn, and will soon occupy Rochester.— ' Thh3 is directly in front of Bowling Green.
