;,r iltatiettiatt ttiann. Eli _taitietta, Os.a. SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1863, 13- Messrs. MA THER & ABBOTT, No. 335 Broadway, New-York, are duly authorized to act for us in soliciting adverfisments, &c., and recoipt for the same. E General Burnside was not re quested to resign, but insisted upon his own resignation, and said be would not leave Washington until his resignation was accepted. The immediate cause of this peremptory step was a difficulty be tween him (Burnside) and Hooker.— When General Burnside found he was buried in the mud with his artillery, wagons, &a., a counsel of war was held, in which Burnside proposed to leave the artillery and make an infantry fight.— Gen. Burnside reasoned that as he was buried in the mud, so must the enemy. be, and that he could do as well without artillery as the enemy could. General Hooker opposed this, and said, he would not go without the artillery—whereupon the expedition was abandoned. Imme diately after the retrogade movement, Gen, Burnside went to , Washington and resigned. —Speciat Despatch to the N. Y. Express. gir The indications are unmistakable that au active campaign will at once commence under General Hunter s and it is probable that Savannah, as being comparatively the nearest of the two principal points of attack, will be first attended to. On the 18th, the iron-clad frigate Ironaides arrived at Port Roy al ; on the 19th, the Monitor•battery Montauk arrived, and on the 20th the Monitor-battery Passaic made her ap pearance. The Montauk, on the 24th, took her departure again, in company with two gunboats—her destination not stated, but probably the Savannah river. it was understood, also, that large rein forcements of , troops were soon to ar rive in the department, and immediate steps are to be taken by General Hun ter for the organization of a large num ..ber of soldiers of "African descent." - Don. Mr. Stevens reported a bill providing.for the appointment of a Dep uty Register of the Treasury, with a salary of $2,500 per annum. He said the cowrnittee had received a letter from L. E. Chittenden, Register of the Treasury, stating that owing to severe physicist labor and other causes he has u rheumatic paralysis in his right hand. and therefore is nuable to discharge his official duties, he asks Congress to ap point a deputy register. The bill was introduced in accordance with this re quest, the bill was amended by making the salary of the deputy $2,000 and lim iting the continuation to one year from date, the bill was then passed. eas- The Hancock House, on Beacon street, Boston, is again offered for sale. It was the residence of Governor Han cock, the first signer of the Declaration of independence, during the latter years of his life, and has been frequently in the market. At one time the state came near effecting the purchase of it, but a governor's veto interposed. It was built in 1735, and is inseparably connected with our revolutionary history. It stands on an eminence commanding a fine view of the common, is of the most substantial construction, and, ev erything considered, the most valuable property in Boston. iferM onnd City, Ark., a short distance north of Memphis, was burned on the 15th instant, by a detachment of nation al troops. It has long been the resort of guerillas. Only two houses were left standing. lir A pear from California is on ex hibition in New York. It appears to be of the 'variety called the "Ouchesse d' Angoaleme," and weighs three pounds and seven ounces. lifir The Architect, Thomas 11.

A GOOD ACT.—Gen. Butler, before leaving New Orreacs, caused the bronze eyestrain statue of Jackson, which ornamented Jackson square, to be fin ished by placing on the pedestal the inscription originally intended by the Committee to whom was intrusted the work of erecting the monument. The General found that the inscription in, tended for the monument—those mem orable words of the great President "The Union must and shall be preserved," had not been carved oat on the pedes tal and be caused it to be done. OFFICERS TO BE .DISMISSED.—The na• mes of one hundred and fifty officers are now before the- Secretary of War, as candidates for dismissal from the service for absence from their commands without leave. A. panacea for this crime of desertion is in preparation in Congress, and will surely be perfected into a law, to reduce all such officers to the ranks. The same law will force de seting privates to serve out the full term of their enlistments with the time of their absence added on. FATAL SKATING ACCIDENT.-A gentle man named Gowan, a prominent citizen of Wilmington, Mess., and his wife were drowned last Wednesday, on a skating pond in that town. The lady first broke through the ice, and her husband went to her rescue, but got into the wa ter himself, and both were dead before assistance reached them. ..fitr. Gowan is, or has been a member of the board of Selectmen. The sad accident crea ted much excitement in the vicinity. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.—An act has been read in the Legislature which repeals the act now in force relating to county superintendents of common schools. It proposes for the election of a superintendent by the directors in each and every county— but his pay is to come from the teachers or applicants for schools. Each applicant for a situa tion is to pay one dollar for an examina tion, whether he receivee acertificate or not. EDUCATION AND LOTALTY.-M r. Robin son, the Superintendent of Public In struction in Kentucky argues that igno rance was the tool of treason in the soath. He produces statistics to show that the counties in Kentucky in which common schools have been most largely established and most liberally sustained, are those which have been most distin guished for a cordial, immovable and self-sacrificing attachmentto the Union. ear Judge Advocate General Holt has laid the record in the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter, which he had spent three days in making up, before the President, who signified his approval of the findings of the court-martial, and ordered the sentence to be carried into execution. The findings are that he is guilty on every one of the charges pre ferred, and the sentence is that he be dismissed from the service. eir It is said that English ladies in Southern Italy overwhelm Garibaldi with letters, in which they entreat of him to send them an autograph or a lock of his hair. Were their desires satis fied, it is said, the General's bead would be as bare as the palms of their hands. An Englishman offered $5OO for the bullet taken from the Liberator's foot , but could not obtain it. eir Massachusetts is going to it again. What will conservationism think of the terrible innovation, of a State underta king to pay all its troops in the national service promptly as their wages are due, borrowing money to do it, and taking the General government's stipend whenever it may please the Secretary of the_ -Treasury to pay it ! Can this be constitutional ? dir Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, has caused editions of the President's proclamation, in tiny, book form and with attractive, covers, to be issued, and has had packages of them franked to various officers in the service from Mae achusetts, requesting them to undertake to introduce the proclamation amongst the slaves wherever opportunity oc curs. r Mrs. James Cobden, who resides in West Newton, gave birth to an infant boy on Monday while going out in the cars on the 'Worcester railroad. Both are doing well. The boy's training should ba looked after, lest he grow up a. "fast" youth. Yes put down the "brakes" on that fellow, and "switch" him off, in advance. sr Up to Jan. 9, General Rosecrans had sent to Nashville, from hiurfrees. borough, 1250 rebel prisoners represen ting all the cotton States, except South Carolina. There were over 400 more to be sent forward, and these are in addi- tion to the large number of wounded whom the rebels abandoned when they retreated. or So certain did Fitz John Porter feerof acquittal that he had, only the day before the return of the verdict, ap plied to the President for a leave of abscence. When told that he was dis missed from the service, he was power hilly affected as well as astounded. ilFr Gan. Cameron has offered to lead a brigaie of African Unionists into the heart of the rebellion. MARIETTIANZ Short Scraps of News from our Exchanges. The vote by which Charles Sumner, was re-elected to the Senate was 227 to 47—scattering. Lamartine has sold his "Memoirs from beyond the Grave " for forty thousand dollars, This is dying to some purpose. John Slidell "received," on New Year's day, in Paris, and was called on a good deal by persons of Secesh in clinings. The Governor of Minnesota sent his message to the Legislature on Tuesday. He demands the removal of the Indians beyond the border of the State. Speaker Grow is named in connection with the Commission of Internal Reven ue, when the position shall be vacated by Commissioner Boutwell, M. C., elect. Several Wench journals speak of the approaching marriage of Marshal Canrobert to Mdlle. blEactlonold, a relative of the Dukede Taranto.— The Marshal was born in 1809. The Baizell mills at Atlanta Illinois, are now running with corn for fuel in stead of wood, that article being cheap er and more easily obtained than either coal or wood. Garibaldi's return to his island home, in Caprera is made the subject of elabo rate description by the correspondents of the English papers. His litter was lowered from the frigate Sardinia to a boat, and thence removed to the shore. A lady communicates to the Harris burg Union the conclusion, resulting from long investigation, that diptheria is mainly caused by the want of a suffi cient quantity of common salt in ordina ry diet. The number of workmen. in, the cotton manufacturing districts of France out of employment is said to reach 300,000, with no present. prospect of their being relieved from their present state of ab solute destitution. General Breckinridge had one of his ears taken off at the battle of. Mur freesboro. It should be preserved in souse. The General is marked just as common thieves are in Eastern coun tries. Three htmdred and twenty-five mem bers of the Anderson Troop, who mu tinied and refused to take part' in the battle of Murfreesboro, are now con fined at Nashville, in a building former. ly used as a smoke-house. er Troops are constantly leaving Cin cinnati for Memphis, a fact which indi cates that the War Department does not participate in the fears regarding General Rosecrans' situation and need of reinforcements. Some curious genius states, as the result of au estimate, that a million of one dollar treasury notes would weigh over a ton, and make a pile as high as the Washington monument. This will give some idea of the labor of preparing our treasury-note issue. The St. Louie Republican says : "Small-pox is spreading in every di rection over the country. We hear of it in many towns and all along the river. Wherever soldiers or prisoners of war, or contrabands go, more or less of the disease is sure to make its appearance. One reason urged against the Procla mation of Emancipation is, that it will let loose the slaves in bloody insurrec tions. The best way to avoid this is precisely the one taken by some of our Generals—that of organizing them as a regular military force and placing them ander discipline. On the 31st of December Lieutenant Colonel Garesche was killed at Mar. freesboro, and on the 29th of December Major Garesche was killed at Vicks burg. Thus at different points, nearly a thousand miles apart, the two brothers have lost •their lives within two days of each other. Four tons of soldiers' packages were delivered in the Artily of the Potomac during three days of last week by the Adams and Harden express companies. Some of the packages were made up at the soldier's homee in various parts, of the North months ago. • A few of them contained mince pies. Strong brown paper is now manufac tured at the Salisbury paper mills, in Orange county, N. Y., from "cat tails," the product of the wild flog growing in low grounds all over the Notth. The proprietor, Mr. Oakley, is experiment ing with a view of making white paper also, from the same material. The Hon. T. A. Hendricks,just elect ed United States Senator from Indiana, for six years, was a Representative in Congress from Indiana from 1851 to 1855. In the latter year he was ap pointed Commissioner of the General Land Office, by President Pierce—an office he held under Mr, Buchanan. Senator Sumner was to have been serenaded in honor of his re-election, but -he declined the compliment, and requested that the money that would have been spent for music should be given to the Hospital Fund, which was done. There are, doubtless, pro-slavery eyes that will see some frightful aboli tion plot in this act. THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES.—The expectations of our citizens that this gallant corps would be ordered to Har risburg for the purpose of recruiting their skeleton ranks are doomed to dis appointment. The Reserves will remain OD the battle field to inspire, by their unparalleled deeds of heroism, the ar mies of the Union. Doubtless that un daunted though now sadly diminished phalanx, in whose charge the honor of our State has eve r remained untar nished, may yet have the -privilege of deciding the last great Waterloo of the Rebellion. TRAGEDT AT PITTRBORo.—On Friday afternoon last, a man named John Mc- Cormick was shot by a girl whom he had seduced under the promise of marriage. She had preferred the :charge against him, the case was heard before the al derman, and all appeared satisfied, and he was leaving the office, when he drew a pistol and shot him deliberately. Re was taken into the office and died in a short time, the girl watching him. She immediately gave herself up to the au thorities. 4rThe Dutch have set on foot a gigan tic work of canal improvement.— It is proposed to construct a ship canal, from Amsterdam through New Holland towards the sea, to be thirteen miles long, two hundred feet wide and twenty four feet deep. This canal will shorten the distance from Amsterdam to Lon don and all ports south of the Texel by about eighty miles, so that vessels will soon be enabled to reach the sea in a few hours, whereas the present Journey over the.Simlugar and the North Hol land canal sow occupies several days, and sometimes weeks. sr The clergy and negroes set the fashion in dress and in politics, in Wash ington. Large white clergical bands are worn by the belles. Frizzled hair is all the rage. Ladies cut their lovely locks about fair inches long, and curl them at night over the forehead and close to the head. These curls are all .combed through in a mass next morn ing, and stand out like a darkey's hair, precisely. I have seen, says a corres pondent, many a dark-skinned woman I try as hard to get the kink out of her hair as our ladies try to get it in. or The Chicago Tribune says—" The 37th Regiment of lowa Volunteers, (known as the "Greybeard" regiment,) have left St. Louis for the south. A striking peculiarity of this regiment is, that nearly all its members, officers and men, are over forty-five years of age.— Three-fourths of them are grey-headed, and many of them have long, white beards, giving them a venerable appear ance. Many have sent their sons to the field, and are now following them.". pkgr Gen. Wool, who has been recent ly assigned to the department of the East, including all the States east of New York, has entered vigorously into the discharge of his new duties. The different harbors and forts in his depart ment will be put in a perfect state.— The forts on the sea coast are to be fortified, and will at once be strengthen ed and put in an invulnerable state of defence. OW Washington is full of rumors that Gen. McClellan has tendered his resig natiod. Ever since thq publication of Gee. Hitchcock's letter, severely com menting on Gen. McClellan's conduct, the gossippers have been noising it around that the latter would b e court martialed on charges preferred by the former in behalf of the President. ar On last Simday, in New York city, the interment of Philip Hirsch Horn took place, and addresses were made by Rev, Dr. Raphael, and Rab bi Moses Aronson. The _deceased was probably one of the oldest Israelites in the United States, having reached the idvanced age of one hundred and five years. ifir Eighteen professional gamblers, connected with the "robbery" of Pay master Cook, (who gambled away . money furnished to pay soldiers) have been ar rested-at Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin nati and Cairo, and have been taken to Louisville. Cook's deficit is $253,000 ; 73,000 were taken from- the party ar rested at Ciiro. or The Trustees of one of the New Haven Churches has given directions to have all the cotton-stuffed cdahions in the seats of the buirdlig r elierhauled, that they may be re-filii4 With some ar• tide not so valuable, but quite as ser viceable. a' There were coined in . the mint in Philadelphia during December, five million four hindred and thirty thousand cents and yet the cry is for more. ':The New York Assembly has at length succeeded in organizing by elect ing Mr. Callicott, Union Democrat, the Republican nominee. A bill has been introduced in the Minnesota Legislature to outlaw all In dians and half breeds who, may venture outside the limits of the reservation. Count Gabriel Mastai, the Pope's oldest brother, aged eighty-four, is dan gerously ill at Sinigaglia, and there is little hope of his recovery. GEN. BUTLER TO RESLT3IC MS COMMAND. —h may be positively stated that Gen. Butler will resume command of the De partment of the Gulf. His headquarters will at first be at New Orleans, and soon st a higher point on the Mississippi. This determination in regard to him was arrived at immediately after his de parture froth Washington for the north. It was the inevitable result of his con ferences with the President and heads of departments. No one here could tell Gen. Butler why he was recalled. He declared he would cheerfully carry out the plan formed for bim by the government if the means, being an army such as that which Banks commands at New Orleans, or that which Sherman or McClernand commands above. To organize an African army without the assistance and co-operation of a white army be declared to be out of the question, and the alternative was soon presented of leaving Gen. Butler to spend the winter and spring at home at Lowell with his boy, or to sending him to take the place of Gen. Banks or that of Gen. McClernand. He will, on his return, have the troops for which he asked in vain, and more than once, months, before he was snrperseded, will have new responsibilities and a broader field of duty.—N. Y. Tribune. ear A Citizen of Boston has presen ted a magnificent sword to Fitz John Porter, "for gallant services in defence of his country." This presentation is very equivocal. The "country," which Porter strove most to:defend, judging by the testimony before the Court of In quiry which ordered his cashiering, was the land of treason—the home of slavery. Therefore, we imagine this citizen of Boston to be one of those dough face democrats, who have been presenting much that is "magnificent," to just such loyal (?) men as this disgraced Porter, ever since the rebels have been in arms. sr It is noteworthy, as a sign of the times, that the recent radical speech of Judge Kelley, of the House, in favor of the President's proclamation, printed en tire in the The Cambridge (Md.) Weekly Intelligencer, which has the reputation of being Governor Hick's home urgan , and in part, also, in The Delaware (Wil• mington) Republican. Mr. Kelly's speech was in answer to one of a hor der-State character by Mr. Crisfield, of Maryland. Cr There is a newspaper in Grant county, Wisconsin, which bears the en. phonious title of the "National Broad axe," and has for "our platform—the Star Spangled Banner." The editor's motto is, "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may. And be says the Broadaxe "is devoted to the dissemina tion of national principles.

A brigadier genera con a division has been placed under a: r by General Burnside, for detioutir::)4 the policy of the Administration upon the slavery question and expressing dis loyal sentiments. This general has daily been expecting promotion to the rank of major general and assignment to the command of a corps. Last winter be was reported to the Committee on the the Conduct of the War for expressing disloyal sentiments, and his confirma tion as brigadier general held back for several weeks, but at the last moment his Democratic friends succeeded in overcoming their scruples, and he was confirmed. The- Boston Post states a fact very creditable to Gov. Andrew, viz : that on thanksgiving day he dined with Louis Hayden, the black man who holds the office of messenger at the State House. Twenty-five guests were pres ent, the governor and his secretary be ing the only white men. , "We dare say," says the Springfield Republican, "the Governor had a good dinner and plvizantzompanions, and there is no reason why he should not dine with Hayden, or invite him to his own table, for Hayden is a sensible fellow, and quite up to the State House average of respectability to say the least.", Karsandas Madhavadas, a ITindoo citizen of Bombay, a well-known student of American . history and literature, has sent $l,OOO to Richard H. Dana, Jr., of Boston, to be given for the relief of suf fering soldiers' families. kir. Dana di vided the amount between two families —one-that of a teacher who had lost two sons by the war and had six daugh ters to provide for ; the other being a widow and young children of a Major of artillery, otherwise without resources.
