No changes of any very groat impor tance in military aflairs, has taken place du ring the past week, except the appointment of Fremont to a command on the Gulf. It is rumored that Butler is to return to scouFge Aird plunder New Orleans again. Full par ticulars have teen received of the sinking of the steamer Ilatteras which pursued and at tacked the confederate steamer Alabama The siege of Vicksburg has not yet been at tended with any very decided successes.— The Pennsylvania Reserve are now relieved from active duty in the field and are to do garrison duty in the fortification around Washington. The conscription bill pa>sed the senate of the United States, on Monday last. The State laws in regard to exemp tions are entirely disregarded. The Abolition Turkey gobbler of the j Republican, in his last issue indulges in a ▼ery weak solution of l *Attic salt," in de nominating us, " the Democratic bellows." We give his gobbler-ship notice, that " that hard hit," did not knock the wind entirely out of us—that enough is left, at least, to give him a slight " puff." Knowing that this thin skinned patriot's sensibilities are very acute, so far as draf:s are concerned, and that he may not be c tirely unguarded, we deem it humane to inform him that next week we may give a gen; a blow in his direction. Political Preaching. It seems that even in some parts of New England the people have begun to be weary of BO much political preaching. A notabla case is that of the "Old Congregational So ciety" of New Boston, Litchfield Co., Conn., where Dr. Lyman Beecher so long preached. This Society, at a recent meeting, passed the following sensible resolution : Voted, , That the pulpit committee of this society are hereby liistiucled that whenever they employ a minister of the Gospel to preach in their meeting-house on the Sabbath they shall first inform said minister that he is employed to preach the Gospel truth ac cording to the Bibie doctrine, Christ and Htm crucified, and that onhj. That he is strictly prohibited, by a vote of this society, from delivering any d.scours* of any descrip tion upon the present war, and that he shall not allude to the matter either in prayer or aermon. ►- Thurlow Weed in a late reply to Beecher, who charges him since he has cut loose from the Abolitionists, with being an unprinci pled political trimmer, makes the following record at the close of his letter : "The solicitude is now intensified by the attitude, arrogance and insolence of abolition journals, representatives and lecturers. In assuming to discover, in the President's proc lamation, a " new policy," and one which converts and perverts the war waged in de fense of the government and Union, into a crusade against slavery, I see sure and swift destruction. Iu Wendell Phillips' avowal that the abolition motto is " death to slavery or the Union," indorsed by the Tribune and Independent, I see, unless the treasonable sentiment be rebuked, a divided North, with two thirds of our people against this fanati cism. While there is much inviting reply in the Rev. Mr. Beecher's article, I will not waste time or paper in noticing what is merely per sonal. But I desire to make this record: If U comes to be understood that the views and policy of Messrs. Summer. Greeley, Hen dell Phillips, Hard, Beecher , <fc . <fc., obtain in the conduct of the war it will result in the destruction of our government and Un ion, and a triumph for rebellion and slave ry." THURLOW WEED, FT <► Albert D. Boileau, the fellow who was cared by a few of Old Abes jackasses, has \withdrawn from the Philadelphia " Evening .\lournal That was a sensible move in the right .direction. Nothing else could have saved the.concern, like its late valorous Ed itor, from damning odlivion.— Ex. fliy " Suppose you go to war, (with the £oulh,) you cannot fight always, and when, After much loss on both sides and no gain on either, y. u cease figbtiug, the old identical question as to terms of intercourse are again upou you."— Abe Lincoln. There has been " loss on both sides," enough to have atisfied any ordinary set of imen ; but Mr. Lincoln can hardly say there iJbaS been ngain to the horde of swindlers of the public Treasury. DESERVED.— I Captain John Brown of the thirtieth Ohio regiment, son of Ossawattomie Brown, who was hung at CharJestown. Virginia, is one off-the officers recently dis missed from service for .desertion. JB3T Millions for the Constitution, not one cent for emancipation. This is the .sentiment offered by Hon. A. G. Burr, at the immense public meeting held in Chicago Jast Saturday, The Case of the JcfTersoniaiia In August, 1861, the Jeffersoniun, a week ly newspaper, published at Westchester, in this State, was seized by the United States Marsha), under an order from the United States District Attorney. The office was closed for about two months, at the end of which time, no farther action having been ta ken by Marshal Millard, the publication of the paper was resumed, and a suit instituted by its editor against the govejnment officials for damages. The case was tried before Judge Luwrie of Philadelphia on Thursday of last week, and a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for §512 damages obtained. The charge of Chief Justice Lowrie should serve as a warning to those, who, " dressed in a little brief authority," feel disposed to use their power to the injury of citizens just as patriotic and loyal as themselves. Want of space prevents our giving the charge entire, but the following brief extract will give a fair idea of its tone and spirit: " The next important element in the cause is the alleged fact that the act complained of wa authorized by the President of the Uni ted States, and was executed by important Federal officers. But this element loses all its leg • 1 importance when we consider that all public functionaries in this land are under law, and that none, from the highest to the lowest, are above it. They, as well as we, are under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and sworn to support, protect and defend them, or take them as their rule of civil and official conduct, and they and we are to be judged by them in our civil and of ficial conduct in all appropriate cases. The acts of the Pres.dent and his subordinates are therefore, without right unless they are au thorized by some article of the Constitution, or the laws made upon it and consistent with it. lie can make no laws that can vest in him new authority , or that can protect those who obey his unauthorized orders. lie we'd not claim that he could." Newspaper Patronage. This thing called newspaper patronage is a curious thing. It is composed of as many j colors as the rainbow, and is as changeable j as a chameleon. One inan subscribes for a newspaper and j pays for it in advance ; he goes home and j reads it with the proud satisfaction that it i j his own. He hands in an advertisement, asks the price, and pays for it. This is news paper patronage. Another man says please to put my name On your list of subscribers ; and he goes off without as much as having said pay once.— Time passes, your patience is exhausted and you dun him. He flics in a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not. Another man has been a subscriber a long time. He becomes tired of you and wants a change. Thinks he wants a city paper.— Tells the postmaster to discontinue, and one of his papers is returned marked " refused." Paying up for it is among the last of his thoughts; besides he wants his money to send to a city publisher. Atier a time you look over his account, and see a bill of " balance due-" But does be pay for it cheerfully and freely 7 We leave him to answer. This, too, is newspa per patronage. Another man lives near you—never took your paper—it is too small—don't like the editor—don't like the politics—too Whig pish, or too something else—yet goes regu larly to his neighbor and reads his by a good fire—finds fault with its contents, disputes its positions, and quarrels with its type.— Occasionally sees an article he likes—gives half a dune and begs a number. This, too, is newspaper patronage. Another sports a fine horse, or perhaps a pair of them—is always seen with whip in hand and spur on foot—single man—no use for him to take a newspaper—knows enough. Finally he concludes to get married—does so —sends a notice of the fact with a ' please send me half a dozen copies." This done, does he ever pay for notice or papers 7 No. "But surely you don't charge for such things!' This too is newspaper patronage. Another man (bless you, it does us good to ree such a man) comes and says the year for which I paid is about to expire, and I want to pay for another. He does so, and retires. Reader ! isn't newspaper patronage a curi ous thing "r And in that great day when honest men get the reward due to their hon esty, which, say you of those enumerated above, wiil obtain that reward 7 Now it will be seen that, while certain kinds of patronage are the very life and 'existence' of a newspa per, there are certain other kinds that wil' kill a paper stone dead.— Ex. The marriage of Tom Thumb and Lavnia Warren, at grave Church, took place on the 10th inst., in New York, and their reception at the Metropolitan Hotel, was attended by thousands. PENN'A RAILROAD. —The total receipts of the Pennsylvania railroad fur the past year amounted to ten millions three hundred thous and dollars. Its running expenses are only about forty per cent, of this sum, and after deducting interest on bond-, Ac., its nett re ceipts are five millions of dollars. ~ THE LANCASTER ELECTION— A Signal Demo cratic Victor. —Hon. George Sanderson, the consistent and fearless editor of the Lancaster Intelligencer, was re-elected Mayor of the city of Lancaster on Tuesday, by the handsome majority ot 265. Ilis majority last year was only 84. The great reaction is still marching along." £*£ Officers relate that on the Fredericks burg battle-field they saw an officer on horse-back waving his sword. A shell came and took bis head off smooth, but the head less officer stitt rode along for 6orae distance the hand waring bis sword. The Soldiers Stopped Reading. An order has been issued prohibiting the circulation of all newspapers in the Army ol the Potomac until further notice. This is a very strange movement, and one it will be very difficult, for the administration to justify before the country. The soldiers are also American citizens and have a right to kn>w what is goirg on in the world. Of course it is obvious why this order has been issued. The all but universal dissatisfaction of the country with the negro policy the radicals arc forcing upon the government is very clearly indicated by the newspaper press, and the feeling is quite as common in the army as else where. The administration hopes by this means to prevent a knowledge of the growing discontent from reaching the soldiers, for fear it would affect their morale. But in this, as in all other meausures, civil ami miliary the administration shows its want of common sense and foresight. It is not the newspa pers that are to blame for the state of feeling throughout the country and in the army j Mr Lincoln's advisers are responsible for that. It was changing the war for the Union into one for abolition that has done all the mischief, and while this policy obtains matters will grow steadily worse. The absence of news papers will increase and embitter the feelings cf the soldiers, who will learn all the govern ment wishes they would not learn from their private correspondence and by report. The time is not far distant when Mr. Lincoln w.U see, what is obvious to all sane people at the North, that this is among the most foolish of the many foolish expedients of his counsel ors.— World The Right to Speak, '• It is the ancient iimi undoubted prcroga tive of this people to canvass public measures and the merits of public men. It is a " home bred right,' a fireside privilege. It hath ever been enjoyed in every house, cottage and cab in in the nation. It is not to be drawn into controversy. It is as undoubted as the right of breathing the air or walking on the earth. Belonging to the private life as a right, it be longs to public life as a duty, and it is the last duty which those whose representative i am, shall find me to abandon. Aiming at all times to he courteous and template in its use, except when the right itself is question ed, I shall place myself on the extreme boun dary of my right, and hid defiance to any arm that would move me from my ground. " The high constitutional privilege I shall defend and exercise, within this house, and in all places ; in time of peace, and at all times Living I shall assert ; and should I have no other inheritance to my children, by the bless ing ol God I will leave tbein the inheritance of free principles, and the example of a manly independent and constitutional defence of them."—- Daniel Webster. A New Conscription lillt. After a third effort Senator Wilson has produced a conscript ; on bill which may be supported by his party, its leading feature is to make conscripts of the younger class of persons, and discriminate in favor of those who have the responsibility of supporting others. This is in accordance with the 6ug gestion of Senator Sherman, upon whose mo tion the bill was recommitted. r ll.e bd! enrolls all able bodied male citi- ! zens, between eighteen and forty-five years ! of age, as militia, liable to be called into ser vice by the President. The exempts are < those rejected as physically, mentally or j morally unfit lor the service—such as are necessary for the support of aged or infirm parents, orphans, or helpless children and pauper®, provided they are unable to render an equivalent for personal service; the Vice President of the United States ; the judges of the vaiious courts of the United States ; the only son of aged or infirm parents, de pendent on him ; heads of execut ve depart ments ; the only brother of children not twelve years old, having neither father nor mother; the father of motherless children under twelve years of age; when a father and sons are in the service as privates, the other sons, not exceeding two; a father having two or more children under fourteen residing on a farm of not more than fiftj acres, upon which he is dependent for sup p rt. Section third divides the military force into two classes, the first comprising ail persons Riibject to military duty, between the ages of eighteen and thirty, and all un married person? between thirty and forty five : the second embracing all others not li able to be called into service until the first class is exhausted. For convenience in call ing out this force, and in the arrest of de serters and spies, the Union is divided into districts, each comprising a Congressional district in the States, the District of Colum bia being one, and one or more in each Ter- each district to have a provost mar shal, with the rank and pay of a captain of cavalry, under a provost marshal general, who, with the approval of the Secretary of War, may make rules and regulations for this department of the service. It is made the duty of these officers to arrest all desert ers wherever found, and send them to the nearest commander, to inquire into and re port all treasonable practices, and to detect, seize and Confine spies. Enrolling officers are to be appointed in sub districts. Per sons drafted and failing to report are to be I seized and tried for desertion. Any surgeon conniving at fraud in inspection is punisha ble by S2OO to S,JOG fine and imprisonment, and is to be cashiered. Drafted persons are t entitled to the pay and bounty of volunteers. A substitute furnished entitles the one draft ed to a discharge. Articles of clothing or equipment may not be bought, or 6old, or removed under severCpenalties. Officers ab sent on leave to receive half pay, and without leave shall forfeit all pay, and enlisted men detailed for special service are not entitled to extra pay.— Ex. car The suggestion of the Empcrer Na polcau of a peace Congress between the North and the S"uth, has been contemptuously re jected by the authorities at Washington. The Negro Uniform. The New York Herald says: "We like the idea of red breeches for the African soldier. The brilliant color will tickle his fancy; but with yellow stripes down the legs of his breeches, a red coat with yellow facings, and a red cap and white feather, Cuffee would be complete." We endorse this idea as 6ound, and hope soon to see a regiment or two of llarrisburg darkeys dressed in the gaudy uni form described, in full march for the heart of the rebellion*" Since their Abolition friends have determind to make soldiers of them we can see no better use to put thetn to than to march them south with as much celeriiy as possible. It is perhaps the best way to get rid of them. Those who are not killed in bat tle, or fail to die from exposure, will probably be taken prisoner, in which case they will be summary disposed of by being shot or sold into slavery and sent away beyond the reach of the proclamation. We think that at least one full regiment ought to be recruited here, and if the friends of the measure will act, promptly before the excitement created by the lute meeting dies out, there will not be much difficulty in booking one thousand as black negroes as the most rampaut Abolition ist could desirt to command. Cotmrnmitaiinns. CAMP NEAR FREDERICKSBURG. ) 141s* Kegl Pa. Vols. $ MR. EDITOR. Having leisure time; I thought I would improve it by writing you; and will to the best of my ability, inform you of the state of affairs in our Division and of the feedings of most of the suld iers I have cmversed with since the "Freder icksburgh disaster." They feel that instead of being used to "crush the Rebellion," they are used for political purposes. They de nounce Greeley as a liar. Ilis treasonable sheet seldom reaches u* ; and when it does it meets with profound contempt. Ilis asser tion that our army is in the best moveable condition, and that it is ready and eager for another fight, we ail know to he a lie. He tried to make the northern people believe that the southern soldiers were starving and that they could not light. If those northern abolitionists could I avc a bout or two with the southernei s, it would satisfy them that southern soldiers are not j in a starved condition as represented by j Greeley. The removal of McCiellan discouiaged the army of the Potomac more than a sco^' of defeats would have done. The instigator- , of this removal and the emancipation procla : ination seem entirely regardless of the wish- j es of the soldiers and the feelings of our ] friends at home. If the proclamation was withdrawn, and McCiellan was placed at the ■ head of the army, the shores of the Kappa- I bannock would ring with cheeis from our ! now disheartened soldiers; and the cry would be "on to Richmond," again. When most of us left home, it was to sustain the laws and constitution, to restore the Union ; but now our leaders have trampled the con solution under their feet, and destroyed the last hope of Union by the emancipation proc lamation, and ail that is left for us to fight for, is Lincoln's Niggers. The health of the troops is better than it Ins been for some time, though many have sickened and died since we encamped on the bank of the Rappahannock. Virginia has ceased to be a productive state and is now the burying ground of our brave coinradbs. When will this cruel war end ? When will we cease killing each other ? Yours, G. B. C. CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Va.. ) January 23rd, 18G3. $ DEAR PARENTS : We are here in the re9r ofßurnside's army, in the woods and have huts buib and covered witli our shelter tents which make very comfortable quarters. It has been raining for two or three days ; the mud being verv deep, the roads are nearly impassable. While coming here we did not have half enough to eat, and were obliged to take the bay and kill the cattle and hogs be longing to the inhabitants along the route.— The treh meat did not agree wi th me, for I was sick for two or three days, since which I have been poorly, most of the time. We have had very hard fare since coming here, some of the- time getting but one cracker and a cup of coffee at a meal ; some time we had a half pound of crackers a day, with a little fried pork, and coffee. Finally, our Captain sent off a mile or so and got a corn cracker, wi th which we ground enough corn, out of our horse's feed to make a johnny cake or pudding ov.ee a day. We manage to get along very well, making johnny cake with cold water and a litt legrease. It makes ve ry fine meal, though some kernels slip through whole. As we have no seive to sift it with, you can judge of the quality of our Johny cakes. I never tasted anything better than the first ones I ate. Mother, if I ever get home I shall not complain of what you set before me to eat. I never knew what a good mother I had, until I began to feel the priva tions of camp lift; but now I often think of the kindnesses bestowed upon me, without even thanks for it. Write me what ycu sent in that box. We did not get it at Washington, and don't know whether it will be sent to us here or not ; though I learn it has been sent for, by our Regimental Quartermaster. Write soon. Youra Truly, JAAIES W. WARD. SUBSTANTIAL PRESENT.—A beautiful house on Fifth Avenue, N.

The General lately commanding the Brigade most happily takes this occasion to congratulate the olii ecrs and soluicrs with whom he has been so intimately associated.

Y'uu wete the first in the advance upon Williams- 1 burgh, aud when ordered by General McClcllaii to support Gen. Ilancuck the enemy gave up the con test On the 18th of Ma/, at Bottoms Bridge, yoti waded vraist deep in the swamps of the Chickahominy, you drove away the enemy and were the first to that stream. On the 23d, 170 of your number made a rcconnoi saoee from Bottoms Bridge in tlia James River, near Drury's Bluff, aud returned, bringing valuable iaior inutiou. On the 24th, 25th and 26th, after other troops ha l failed, you uiude the gallant dashing rccouuoisancc ■ of the Beren Bines, driving the superior lurce ol Gen. Stewart from Bottoms Bridge to within lour an 1a ' half miles of Richmond, the position nearest that city ! ever occupied by our troops. On the 31st of May, at " Fair Oaks," or "Seven Pines " Occupying the above advanced jositun, i your Brigade made the most desperate, bloody, ob stinate fight of the war, and while we mourn the loss ofone-half of ur comrades ia arms, you bav - the consolation of knowing that by their heroie sacrifice, and your stubborn resistance, you saved the Army of the Potomac from great disaster. Ou the 27 th. 2>th and 29th of June, the rebel Gor Jackson hurled his immense force suddenly upon our right aud passed Unit flunk of the army, and all turn ed with extreme solioitude towards the rear at Bot toms Bridge, which, if crossed, would result iu irre treivable ruin; audit should be a source of great pride and satisfaction in the future to remember that alt this intense mix ety x is dispelled,(and all b eathed with relief and felt secure, when it rapidly ran tl ro' the army that "AT aglec's Brigade had destroyed the Bridges aud stoou night and day, for three days, iu tho middle of the Chickahominy, successfully and continually resisting its passage." Again, on the following day, you held a pot of the greatest importance and dauge. ; at the White Oak Swamp the most determined efforts of the enemy to cross the bridge in pursuit of our army were thwarted by our artillery, and you stood for ten hours support ing it, quiet speetators of the most terrific cannonade, while other regiments were only l.ept in place by be ing ordered back when thev approached jour line Retreating all night, j-ou stood ready in position ou the following day, expecting to be ordered to take part in the battle at Malvern Hill. Retreating again all night, at Carter's Ilillon tho 2nd of July, you stood by the artillery and wagon train, and when all expected it would be destroyed you brought it safely to Harriot's Landing. Duriug December you destroyed a dozen large salt works iu Matthews County Virginia, and drove ihe Rangers from that, and Gloucester, Middlesex, King and Queen Counties, captured large herds intended for the Rebel army, an l destroyed all of their bar racks, stables and stores At Y'ot ktown from August to tho end of Decomber, you have restored the works t that pluoc and Glou cester Point, and they aro by your labor rendered strong and defensible; Th us is yours the honor of having been the first to pass, and the last to leave the Chickahominy, and while you le 1 the advance from this mem ruble place to near Richmond, you were the last in the retreating column, when, afteg seven days of constant figdting it rea. hed a place of security and rest at Harrison's Landing. Y'our descendants for generations will boast of the gallant conduct of the regiments towhi h you belong, and when all are laid in tho dust, history will still proclaim Hie glorious deeds performed by you.
