NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 6,1863.
EDITOR MORNING POST: On the 2d . day
of December, 1861, then! , was ,iinade•
pendent cavalry comparr* passeiihrough
Pittabrinh ; theie,destina.tion w 6, Louis
ville to act as abody guard for General
Sherman; commanding the Department of
then Oblo. 4fteilte area .relieved--..tind
.
General Buell appointed his successai,lhe
company was retained in the same ca
pacity. The name of the company was
the Anderson Troop, and they were along
with General Buell in his campaign
througL the States of Tennessee. Missis
sippi and - Northern Alabama. While we
were lying at Huntsville, Alabama, Capt.
Palmer asked and received permission to
return to Pennsylvania and recruit a bat
talion for headquarter duties, which. sub
sequently, was extended so as to raise a
regiment, and the fruits of that recruiting
was the 15th Pennsylvania or Anderson
cavalry, who mutinied in the face of the
enemy, or rather on the eve of a battle,
and only about 300 could be persuaded to
go to the front. As this so called Ander
son Cavalry are styling themselves the
Anderson Troop, I wish to correct any
false impressions that might be made at
home regarding the Anderson Troop, as
they left. Nashville on the 26th of Decem
ber, 1862, along with Gcn. Rosecraas, and
all the members participated' in the battle
of Stone's River. On one of the days of
the fight some of the members acted as
Orderlies for the General during the bat
tle. The Anderson Cavalry have no right
to the name of Troop, for they are in re
ality the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry. I
will say a few words about the mutineers.
They, I think, should be held responsible
for the death of Majors Rosengarden and
Ward and the -rest of the brave boys who
fell on the field that day-. In the death of
Major Ward Pittsburgh lost one of her
brightest young men. He was bold, fear
less and brave, but not fool-hardy.

There was nothing done in the Senate
to-day of interest to your readers. •
The establishing of the new Navy Yard
at League Island is now regarded we unit
of the fixed things.
When Gov. Curtin and the commit' ecs of
the Legislature, with the councils of Phil.
adelphia. visited Washington last week.
the matter looked rather blue for League
Island, as the Senate had agreed upon New
London as the place where the money of
the Government was to be expended.
Through the efforts of the parties referred
to, the Senate reconsidered its action and
the committee reported in favor of Phil
adelphia.
TUESDAY, Feb. 10th. 15.463

House OF REPR ESENTAT I V ES. 1
Harrisburg, February 9, 1863.
Your regular correspondent being eh
lent I thought it would not be out of place
;to drop you a line to keep my hand
This being private bill day, several were
objected to, one in which your people are
deeply interested, at least those living on
Saw Mill Run. This bill (No. 15i) was
objected off by the chairman of the com
mittee on corporations, Mr. Quigley, re
marking that he had that moruent received
a letter from one of the first attorneys of
the Pittsburgh bar, John T. Cochran, Esq.,
requesting that- the opponents of this
obnoxious measure be heard before the
committee. The bill will therefore; in all
probability, be so referred. Those nn
trtendly to the bill must send on petitions
and make their case clear that no injustice
be done them.
I had the pleasure to-day, of taking by
the hand, ex-Governor Porter. The old
chief looks hale and hearty, and from ap
pearances never looked better since the
ever to-be-remembered campaign when he
defeated Ritner & Co., by the grand tri:
umph of Democracy. There is stuff'
enough in this venerated Democrat to rise
over the enemies of the Constitution in
another campaign, should he be the
honored-standard-bearer of the old flag.—
There is one thing strikng in the charac•
tar of David R. Porter, that he never was'
defeated for any position. The people have
clung to him and carried him. in triumph
over all opposition. Were he chief Magis
trate of this great Commonwealth; :the war
over at Washington dare not i arrest and
confine a citizen of the State without au
thority of law. The people require just
such a man for Governor, who would
an 4 could -fearlessly discharge all the du
ties, disregarding usurpation or dictation
from the minions of power, who disregard
the Constitution of the State, and call it
military necessity.
The Cameron Investigation Committee
are to meet to-night. Subpoenas have
been sent afiaJohn J. Patterson to dif
ferent countllll, but Cameron's 'facto

From the Viek,hurg Whig
There is now no doubt of the enemy's
having returned. The whole fleet is re
ported to be stretched from the mouth of
Old river to the foot of PaWpaw
Troops have been landed on the Louisiana
shore, and yesterday infant ry, cavalry and
axeraen could be seen with a spyglass,
moving about in the vicinity. of George
W. Grove's place. A gentlemen who
started frem Monroe got a glimpse of the
Stars and stripes adent a half a mile above
Dr. White's, and turned back. He thinks
be saw two hundred and fifty of the ene
my on shore. A number of men, sup
posed to be abolitionists, are reported to
have been seen yesterday examining the
famous canal, which has never been filled
and through which water will commence
ninning in a few days, if the river con
tinues looming up as rapidly as it has been
fur the two weeks past. Of course no
one knows where the next attack will be
made: hot many are of the opinion that a
road will be built lions Grove's across to
Bedford Point. just above Warrenton,
when the enemy will haul their barges
across, and then run their iron-clads past
our batteries at night to tow their barges
over to Warrenton.' with their troops, and
bud them under cover of their gone.—
This will be a slow process, and if they
ever attempt it we will completely check
mate them. Whatever may be their de
s:gti,and no matter Where they may strike.
we are satisfied that they will be repulsed
as completely as they were at Chickasaw
Bayou.
The running up and down of steamers.
the continual whistling, lauding and de
parting below Grove's place, remind us of
the commotion created among the Yan•
kee fleet on the memorable morning of
the 16th of July lag. All day transports
were bringing down troops -and landing
them about a mile and a half above the
famous canal. Catnp fires were visible
along the levee. and large squads of the
enemy could be observed with a glass
mancouvring about the canal. In the af
lernoon White's field was dotted with
tents, and troops' were perceptible all
along the river in front of Dr. Young's,
the old Stone place. Some twenty trans
ports were fastenedi to the Louisiana bank.
An iron clad gunboat came down about
noon and took up its position below the
transports. Occakional visiters in the
shape of shells were sent over to the
troops who were pitching their' teats, by
our men at the lower batteries; but the
effect is not known., They are, we be
lieve, out of the range.of any, of oar gnus.
The mortars below the city commenced
bellowing slowly inlthe afternoon, and a
few shots were fired from the upper bat
teries during the day. The ,enemy seem
to be concentrating a large force near,
their old camp-ground but our mortar, if
fired at intervals. will render their situa
tion very unpleasant.
It would seem that they have given up
the Yazoo, for the 'present at least, and
will attempt the redaction .of Vicksburg
by a new route. We believe everything is
in readiness for thetahere.
A Petition !to Congress.
The lager beer brewers atPhiladelphia
have unanimously agreet#Ypetition Con
gress to reduce the n:oresent tax on malt
liquors. The petitioners request partien
tarty :
1. The annulling of the decision of
Commissioner Boutwell that beer brewed
previous to September let, 1861, but not
removed from the establishment, is liable
to tax.
2. To annul the 'decision. of the com
missioner which requires brewers to give

3. To amend the fiftieth section of the
revehue law, which! directs " that casks
holding less than one quarter and more
than one-eighth of a barrel, shall be tax
ed as one-quarter barrels." Lager' beer
is generally sold in itne-sixth casks, and
therefore El tax' of sl' 50'insteid Of $1 is
exacted.
4. To change the specific tax, one dol
lar per barrel, to a tax of three per cent.
ad 'valorem, which is paid by all other
manufacturers, or, in lieu of this, re
