A press of matter yesterday morning precluded us from giving more than a mere announcement of the arrival of Knap's celebrated Battery on Saturday evening, which, although made up from recruits from different parts of the State, was originated by:lieut. Jas. D, McGill, whobegan recruiting on Seminary Hill, Allegheny, in September, 1861. The inns ter roll included about thirty members, when Capt. Jos. M. Knap, who had been authorized by the Secretary of War to re• emit a Battery of Artillery, visited the camp on tne hill, and proposed that Lieut. McGill and his men should become the nucleus of the Battery. This proposition was accepted. and the first election of officers was held in Washington Hall, Rebecca street, Allegheny, before the de parture of the battery for Washington. At this election the company designated as their choice for officers the following, viz: Capt. Jos. M. Kuap, Lieut. Jas. D. McGill, Second Lieut. Chas. A. Atwell. The company proceeded to Washington, and soon after was mustered into the ser vice as "Battery E, Pennsylvania Inde , pendent Artillery." Col. John W. Geary, then commanding the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteers, numbering some 1,200 men, detailed a sufficient number from his regi - ment to make up a full six gun battery. The officers commissioned by Gov. Curtin, after this addition to the command were as follows: Captain—Joseph M. Kuap. Ist Lieutenant—Charles A. Atwell. 1 Jr. " -- Tingley. 2,1 Lieutenant—Edward R. Geary. 2d Jr. " James D. McGill. We have not room to even epitemize the field history of the battery since its organization; suffice to say that it has seen much active service, and achieved a repo • tation second to no similar organization in the service. It has a record written in blood, and embalmed in the hearts of its friss*. It has participated in the dan ;ere and honors of most of the hard fought battles of the war. Winchester, White Plains, Front Royal, Cedar Mountain, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericks. burg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wan hatchie, and Lookout Mountain, beside', numerous skirmishes, all attest the hero ism of its members After the battle of Chanceilorsville, Capt. Keep was induced tr, resign li]s command, and quit the service, regretted by every officer and man in the command. Capt. Atwell, the senior Lieutenant, was commissioned as captain. The Battery was attached to the 12th army corps, and accompanied Gen. Hook er to the West. Almost immediately on its arrival at the fr: - .nt—indeed with but two of its three a ectio3B, the battery was called upon to sustain its well earned rep utation for bravery in the battle of Wan hatchie, Tenn., when, in company with Geary's small but heroic division, it re pelled and hurled back Longstrret's vet erans, discomfited and shattered. thns winning the to Chattanooga, and pre paring the way for relieving: our beleag ured army at that point. Hero the Bat tery lost twenty three of its members, seven killed and sixteen wounded; amongst the former was the brave young com mander, Atwell, and Lieut. Geary, whose untimely death their commrades in dan ger audio well-earned honors still mourn. ; - On the 24th of December last, Lient. McGill opened his roll for the re-enlist ment of veterans. The following is a list of the names of the veteran members who have re•enlisted for three years more, and whose reception on Saturday, by their friends in Alleghfty, was the event of the day.

RECAPITULATION Commissioned officers, 8; Sergeants 7; Corporals, 10; Buglers, 2; Artificers 2; Privates 67 ; total 81. As soon as it was known that the battery was on its way home on a furlough, the friends and acquaintances of its members concluded to prepare a "home reception" for the boys in Washington Hall, the place whore it had first assembled as an organi zation, and from which it had taken its departure for the field. The ladies volun teered en masse, and monopolized the en tire arrangements, their masculine friends yielding with the best grace possible. On Friday evening an immense crowd had as sembled to bid the veterans welcome; but the irregularity of the trains caused a delay, which, however unpleasant to the •ry and its friends, was unavoidable. Not tintilfiaturday ezening.did they arrive " *home." Notwithstanding thiirdelay immense consequent disappointment, an I Tmeuse crowd had yougregitod at the depot on Federal etreet to welcome home "our battery." As the sturdy members stepped from the platform, they were re• ceived with shouts of congratulation. With some difficulty, Lieut. McGill got his men formed, and following the honor ed remnants of what was originally a beau ' tiful silk guidon, the command marched to Washington Hall. Here they were re• ceived by the ladies, who had prepared a most sumptuous repast, to which the boys sat down with appetites more keen than they could have beaeted some half hour later. The table fairly groaned with the substantial and elegant dishes, to which ample justice was done. After supper Capt Knap welcomed the members home id a neat impromptu speech ; the members responded with "three times and a tiger." Lieut. McGill immediately reported his arrival to Col. Bomford, Provost Marshal of Pennsylvania, by telegraph. He yes. terday received orders by telegraph to report in person at Harrisburg, but was permitted to save his Allegheny boys the unnecessary trip thither. The Philadel phia and eastern members of the battery accompanied Lieut. McGill to Harrisburg yesterday evening. The command will have a furlough of thirty days from this date, in which to re cruit and visit their friends. About thirty of the members, recruited since the organi zation, and whose period of service would not entitle them to come within terms of the " veteran enlistment," remain at Bridgeport, Ala. REIIEF OF THE POOR.—We have before us the first Annual report of the Associa, tion for the Relief of the Poor of this city for the year of 1863. It is an interesting document. The Secretary, Mrs, Levi Wade, concludes her report with an ap peal for the necessary funds to enable the association to go on with its work of mer cy and relief. Following is the simple but touching terms in which her appeal is couched. Shall it not meet a general response "While the Association acknowledges with gratitude the liberality that has ena bled it to prosecute its work during the past year, it would avail itself of this op portunity to solicit from an ever ready and generous public, the funds, necessary to enable it to go on with its work of mercy and relief. The hoar frosts, and icy blasts of the fast shortening days, foreshadow a long and dreary winter, to those who "eat the bitter bread r!,l misery," and "cheerless po:•erty.' "Around us are the sick and stittering ; the poor and perishing. Friends of hu manity ! will you not aid us, in relieving the wretchedness and poverty, which the self-sacrificing visitors constantly meet with, as they traverse this great city, on their errands of mercy "If life's duties will not allow you, in order to avoid the evils of indiscriminate charity, the time, or opportunity to in vestigate and ascertain, who are really needy and deserving, will you not let this Association, whose members desire no greater honor, than to be the almoners of those whose cup is overflowing with bless - inga, be the channel through which your aid shall be distributed, to the destitute and needy.- DIvORCES.- "Tall oaks from little r acorns grow," and events affecting the happiness or misery of than led people sometimes spring from comparatively trifling circumstances. As an instance we give the following little affair which bee led to an action for divorce in a Boston court, the parties moving in the "first circles." "One morning the husband washed himself as usual, in the bowl used by both; but the lady, for some reason, refused to use it that morning, and rang the bell for another. It was brought, when the now indignant husband flung it violently to the floor, breaking it to pieces. The wife thereupon called him hard names, when be locked the bed room door and insisted that she should use the bowl. Bhe vowed that she wouldn't if she went ''with a dirty face for a week." He swore that she ahorrld; and so, filling the bowl, he seized her hands, and, using sufficient force, washed her face for her. He then unlocked the door and went to his busi ness, while she went to consult a lawyer, and the suit was commenced. If incom patibility of temper were sufficient ground for a divorce, we should require a divorce court to attend exclusively to dissolving the marriage tie. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT. —Our gal— lant fellow—citizen, Dr. Collins D. White, of Lawrenceville, of whom the Press on fcrmer occasions, has commended for skill and nerve, we are pleased to learn from the following "clip" from the New Orleans Delta, has won the respect and esteem of the officers and crew of the United States steamer "Penguin," of which he is assistant surgeon : "We un derstand that the crew of the U. S. steam• er Penguin (now lying off the city) have written to the secretary of the navy for permission to present a sword to Dr. White, the surgeon of t he vessel, as a tee timonial of respect for his kindness, atten tion and professional skill. The doctor has seen much servire, both in the field and on shipboard, during the war, for which be has received honorable mention and promotion; and this intended mark of respect from the men of the Penguin shows that he has an enviable reputation among the hardy sons of Neptune. NATIVE WINES.—Some time ago we published an article showing the value and importance of the native wines mann• factured in this vicinity, and the peruliar adaptability of our soil and climate to the culture of the grape. That the subject of wine—making is becoming of more and more interest, in this country, the fact may be noted that Mr. McDougall has presented a joint resolution of the Legis— lature of the State of California in rela tion to the taxation of native wines. It represents that the price of new wines or "must" does not exceed fifteen cents per gallon, and that the tax j 5 cents) is un just and ruinous to the product, and in jurious to California, the first wine grow ing State of the country." Would it not be well fer the wine -makers in this region to take some action in the matter, and thus etrergthen the hands of the California Senator in his endeavor to shield their tereets from unjust and oppressive taxa tion CONVERSATIONAL RE-UNIONS.--The members of the Sixth Ward Presbyterian Church, of both sexes and all ages, are holding a series of conversational re unions in the church. The object of these meetings is to cultivate a spirit of friendly intercourse one with another, and to break dowc that spirit of unfriendliness and lack of brotherly love which often manages to creep even into the bosom of churches. The poet sensibly remarks: "Religion never was designed To make our pleaaures less." And why should any one, in or out of church, "go mourning to the grave." Better say : "Let this wide world wag as will, I'll be gay and happy still." STEPHEN C. FOSTER.—The telegraph announces the death of Stephen C Foster, of this city, which took place a few days ago in New York. It would seem from the following, which we clip from the Tribune, that his death was caused by an accident which befel him : " Stephen' C. Foster, the potualar composer, whose "Oh Susannah," " Old Dan Tucker," " Old Dog Tray and hundreds of other songs, have been so extensively sung, is not ex pected to live. On Saturday evening last he met with a severe accident, and is now bring . * Bellevue Hospital in:a precutrio , 46013aM0D. LARGE TcrEKILY —A story is told on a well known Methodist divine, who for merly ministered in this vicinity. He had the reputation of being a "dear lover" of fowl, and, as the story goes, was want to complain that a "turkey was a very un• handy bird, being too much for one meal, and not enough for two." We opine if the Reverened gentleman had tackled the one mentioned below he would have changed his notions as to the two meals. The Clarion county Democrat says: " Mr. Edward Vansant, of Solebnry, Bucks county, killed and dressed a turkey, last week, that weighed when dressed, thirty eight pounds. This is probably the largest turkey ever heard of. ELecTioN.—The following gentlemen were elected as Managers of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital by the contributors of that institution at a meeting held at Dumont, on the 15th inst.: Hon. E. D.

BY TELEGRAPH, RXXVIIIth CONGRESS FROM CAIRO AND BELOW FROM JOHNSTON'S ISLAND Chao, January 17.—The steamer For syth, from Memphis, on the 14th, arrived at this port to-day, with one hundred bales of cotton. The steamer Lady Franklin also arrived with seven hundred and thirty bales for Cincinnati. A refugee from Richmond, who travel• ed via Wilmington, Mobile and Ohio Rail road, to Okalona, furnishes the Memphis Bulletin with a long account of the con dition of affairs in the Confederacy. He describes society in Richmond as being terribly demoralized in all classes. An extraordinary large number of officers were there. Thera is said to be large numbers of Union men in that city. The same demoralization existed in Mobile. A proposition has been made to the rebel Congress to conscript negroes for soldiers, but it was vigorously opposed by the mem• hers from Virginia, Georgia, and South / Carolina. President Lincoln's Amnesty Frock' mation has caused much excitement among the people and soldiers, and it was feared that many would accept it, and abandon the rebel cause. It was be lieved that a large majority of the troops, if left to themselves, would lay down their arms and accept the terms proposed. Lee's army and Longetreet's troops are estimated to be sixty thousand strong. Bishop 'Polk commands the Department of the Mississippi in place of Gen. John ston. His assumption of the command of the army was very imposing, while" the denunciations of Bragg were bitter. Bragg's army is completely demoralized and scattered throughout the country, and his men are deserting in large numbers. It is the intention of the rebel Govern ment to concentrate all the forces possible at that point, and check the advance of Grant, and drive him back it possible. The number of rebel troops west of the Mississippi is estimated at eighty thous and. Gen. 8. D. Lee commands the cav alry, and has seventeen thousand men, five thousand of whom are under Fergu son at Okalona and five thousand at Ox ford. Two regiments of prisoners, cap tured by the United States army at Port Hudson, has been declared exchanged and supplied with arms. General Lee's headquarters were at Brandon, Miss. Im mense quantities of corn were lying along the railroad on Alabama line. Sixty-two rebel soldiers were sent. from Memphis on" the l?,th to be exchanged for some of our men taken by Forrest. Gen. Sherman has gone to Richmond. There has been no change in the cotton market at Memphis. Senates—Mr. Anthony offered modifica tions to the clause in the Enrollment bill exempting non-combattante. Rejected. Mr. Howard offered an amendment de fining that the killing of an officer who is executing the draft shall be classed as murder under the United States laws, Adopted Several verbal amendments were they The bill as amended was finally passed.

The resolution of thanks to Cornelius Vanderbilt for his gift of the steamship Vanderbilt to the Government was pass— ed. The Senate went into executive Bee3ion and adjourned at half past three. WASHINGTON, January lB.—House Mr. Dawson, ()f Pennsylvania, submitted a preamble declaring that a great civil war like that which affects the United States, is the most grevions of all nation• al calamities, producing spoilation, blood shed, corruption and immortality, and whereas, the American Government can• not rightfully wage war except for the sole purpose of restoring obediedence to the constitution and the laws, &c. There fore, be it Resolved, That the President be required, by proclamation or other wise, to declare that, whenever any State now in insurrection shall submit herself to the Government, as defined in the Con• etitution, all hostilities against her shall cease, and such State shall be pro tected from internal interference with her local laws, and the people shall be fully guaranteed in all the rights which the Federal Constitution gives them. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved to lay the resolution on the table. Agreed to. Yeas-79 ; nays, 66, The House by a large majority tabled a resolution instructing the committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the pro priety of exempting active clergymen of all denominations from the draft. Mr, Cox, of Ohio, presented a resolu— tion to appoint a board of Commissioners who can, by negotiation, reach the an• thorities in the South, with a view of the immediate exchange of prisoners, taking the matter out of the hands of Gen. But. ler. On motion of Mr. Washburn, of 111., the resolution was tabled. Yeas, 91; nays, 1;G. SANDUSKY, January 17.—A special to the New York Tribune says.—One of W. S. Pearson's scouts has just returned from a thorough reconnoisance toward Point Pelee, Canada, and reports 2,000 or 8,000 rebels at Point Pelee, ready for a dash on Johnson's Island. Gan. H. Ter• ry has everything in readiness to receive the expected visitors should they venture to cross the ice. The strictest vigilance is maintained on the Island, and several batteries are in position.
