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.

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

assistance reached them.

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

One reason urged against the Procla

On the 31st of December Lieutenant

Senator Sumner was to have been

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

our State has eve r remained untar

deciding the last great Waterloo of the
Rebellion.
TRAGEDT AT PITTRBORo.—On Friday

he was leaving the office, when he drew
a pistol and shot him deliberately. Re

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

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

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
