Col. Wynooop's Cavalry Regiment, from Har
risburg for Louisville, passed through our city
last week, taking steamers on Saturday. The
Gazette thus speaks ,of.the excellent arrangement,
by our citizens, for Supplying the immediate
wants of the passing soldiers:.
The regiment was received in a most hospi
table manner by the Subsistence Committee, who
had prepared for them a substantial repast at the
City Hall. Ten tables verb spread, the entire
length of the Hall, and at these eleven hundred
hungry men were fed at one time! Some four
hundred loaves of fresh bread were consumed,
with hot coffee by the hundred gallons, and but
ter, crackers, sausages, &0., in proportion.
"A large number of ladies was present, and
through their care and titi.'ention the supper was
hastily Prepared and well 'served. The men ate
like soldiers and behaved like gentlemen, and
left the hall full of—praise for thle ladies!"
Every regiment which passes through our city,
either way, is entertained at the Hall, if our Com
mittee is duly notified...

Battle at Drainesville, near Washington.
WAsniNcrolt, Pito. 20.—This morning, at six
o'clock, a portion of Gen. McCall's Division pro- - '
cceded in the direction of, Drainesville, on a for
aging expedition, and for the purpose of making'
a reconnoissance in that locality. Drainesville
is about midway between McCall's headquarters
and Leesburg. On arriving in that vicinity they
encountered the enemy ; who had four regiments
of infantry, composed of South Carolinians,
Alabamians and KentuckianS, , With one battery
of six pieces, and a regiment of cavalry under
the command of Gen. Ste Wart - , The troops on
our part engaged in the affair at Drainesville,
were Gen. Ord's brigade, the first regiment of Ri
fles, and Easton's battery of four guns.
At four o'olock, after the action, Gen.' McCall
sent two officers to count the rebels who were
killed and wounded, and it was ascertained that
they left, on the field fifty-seven killed and
. twenty-two wounded, Three of thg,,,latter died
on being' rentoYed, - making thei.i?roSsmiaty.killed
UM nineteen wounded; making a total of sev
enty-nine killed and wounded; and they no
I toubt carried off many more. They also left,
nine horses killed or disabled. s
The enemy were completely routed, and fled
precipitately after a fight of an hour and a half,
leaving two cannon and a quantity of small
arms, blankets,
great coats, & 0., more than our
troops could bring away. •
Our men also brought in some prisoners be
sides the wounded. Our loss is, as near as can,
be ascertained at present, about ten killed and
fifteen wounded.
The expedition returned to their camp at
Langley's, at nine o'clock to-night.
Gen. McCall, in a dispatch received:4g' head
quarters, to-night, says too much credit cannot
ho given to Gen. Ord, for his gallantry" and skill
throughout the day. Baston's battery was admi
rably served, and did good execution. The Ri-
ties, also, behaved finely.
During 'the slaMpade of. the rebels, eight ;of
them were taken prisoners, and brought to
Washington. to-day. They state that they left
Centreville, very early on Friday morning, in
eviler to obtain forage, and very unexpectedly
met with our troops, whc,be.d proceeded to the
seine point on similar bti in es. They also said
there was a large number of killed, on the part
of the rebels, than we supposed.
The victory on the part of our troops-is con
sidered the more brilliant, as they had never be
fore been in action.: They have been highly
couiplimented , both by Major-General McClellan
mill General Meal'.

passed, recognizing the gallantry of Gen. Lyon
and the soldiers under his command, at Spring
field.
Mr. Harris, of N. Y., reported a bill to pro
hibit the sale of liquors to soldiers in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The bill is an amendment to
the former bill on this subject, and - prohibits not
only the sale to soldiers, but drinking on the
premises. The penalty is a fine and imprison
ment, and revocation of license. The bill was
passed.
House--Mr. Stevens, of Pa., reported a bill
appropriating $150,000 to complete the defences
of Washington. Passed.
The House passed the Senate bill providing for
the transmitting of allotments of volunteers to their
families and friends. Each State is to appoint
three persons to visit the several departments of
the army to recive the money. The provision of
the former law allowing liens to sutlers on sol
diers' pay is repealed, and all regulations on the
subject abrogated beyond the rules and articles
of war.
The House alsq passed the Senate bill author
izing the appointment of general Court Martial,
in time of war, etc.
Mr. Holman, of Ind., introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, instructing the Committee on
Military Affairs to - report a bill, amendatory of
the 'present laws so as not to exclude in the ap
pointment of chaplains any religious Societies.
He mentioned that at present Jewish Rabbies,
are excluded, notwithstanding there are large
numbers of Hebrews , in the army.

printing $1,500,000 to building gunboats on the
Western waters.

HOUSE—Mr. Vallandigham presented a strin:
gent bill on the subject of suspending the writ

Congress. It was referred to the Committee on
* the Judiciary.
Mr. Morrill, of Vt:, from the Committee on
Ways and Means, asked leave to report a bill to
increase the duties on• tea, coffee and sugar. In
proposes a duty on tea of all kinds of twenty
cents per pound.; on coffee, five cents; and su
gars 211 e, 3c, and tic, according to quality. Mo
lasses six eents per gallon.
Mr. Vallandigham objected.
Mr. Morrill said that this bill was simply in
accordance with the recommendation of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. It was supposed that
the incomes proposed would, yield seven or eight
millions of dollars, provided the same quantities
of the article be imported as in 1860. The bill
ought to be passed, at once, in order to secure the
sugar crop immediately coming into the country,
and the tea and coffee soon expected to arrive.
The price of these articles have already risen in
anticipation of the passage of this bill. So the
consumers pay just as if the bill was already a
law of the land. , The Committee on Ways and
Means intend bringing in a supplemental tariff
bill for the further increase of the revenue, when
the general subject will come up for discussion.
The bill was passed—yeas 77; nays 29.

Deo. 20.---The promotions and appointments in
the United States army, made by the President
since the publication of General Orders, No. 68,
of August 27th last, have just been promulgated.
From this pamphlet it appears that there have
been two hundred and fifty promotions and six
hundred and fifty appointments of all kinds, in
addition to sixty Brigadier-Generals of Volun
teers, the whole number being about one hundred
and ten. Among the declinations is James
Shields, of California,' to be Brigadier-General.
The appointments as aids-de=camp to Major-
General McClellan number thirty-two; thirty
one. officers have been honorably retired under
the law upon that subject. -
Last Monday there were thirty seven resigna
tions of volunteer officers in the army of the Po
tomac, and on Wednesday twenty-four, or about
seventy-five during the week. A few of them
resigned for the purpose of accepting higher ap
pointments in regiments other than those to
which they were originally attached.
A-private letter from Fort Pickens states that
the rebels threw into that stronghold during the
late bombardment, six hundred shells, only nine
of which exploded. They were all of English
make.
Gen. Butler hits indignantly repudiated all re
sponsibility for Gen. Phelps' proclamation.
If any conference has taken place between
Lord'Lyons and Secretary Seward, it has been of

The steamship Erricsson, Copt. G. A. Cole,
from Port Royal, has arrived at Fortress Monroe.
The Erricason left Port Royal on Wednesday.
She towed seven of the stone-fleet to Charleston

When she left, at 10 P. M., operations were about
to, be begun to sink the vessels. They were
towed to a point about a mile outside of the bar,
where six gun-boats were ready to place them in

Washington, numbers at least one hundred thou
sand man.
A letter. from a citizen in the Western part. of
Noith Carolina to a friend in Washington has
passed the rebel lines, and was to-day placed in
the hands of Gen. McClellan. It brings the
clearest confirmation yet received that there is a
large and determined organization of Unionists
in that State. They are putting themselves in
communication with the Unionists of East Ten-
nessee, and await only the dawn of hope for a
'general rising. They expect a reinforcement of
Brownlow by the National forces, and will accept
that movement as the signal for their own action.
A trial was had on Thursday of Dr. Braine's
revolving rifled oannon; near Bladensburg, be
fore the Military Committee of the Senate and
House, Gen. Barry, and several other distin
guished artillery officers., The gun, the barrel
of whioh is opened into slits, instead of being
solid as in the ordinary cannon. fired with the'
greatest rapidity and strength, and demonstrate&
the fact that the only obstacle to a successful re
volving cannon is now removed, and that the
single barrel thus constructed can never g 0 hot

A new cartridge, the invention `'of' Dr. Barth
olow, a surgeon f the army, and supposed to
possess extraordinary merit, having been.brought
to the attention of,Gen. M'Clellan, he raised
_a
Board - of 'officers, to test it - and reports leExperi.
merits were made at the arsenal on Wednesday
and Friday, which proved in the highest degree
interesting and satisfactory. The cartridge is;
composed of the simple Mini 6 bullet, attached to
t 'the' bait+ of which is the explosive componntl - in
solid mass, neatly fitting the flare of the gun,
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1861.
and in quantity not exceeding the length of the
bullet. This, cartridge is perfect in this shape.
It has no wrapping - whatever, but is simply in
serted in the muzzle of the gun and rammed
home ; when, with a cap fired, the charge is
fired. The explosive material is water-proof and
very powerful. It gives to the bullet a penetra
ting power
,equal, if not superior, to the best
gunpowder.
Much, interest is excited by the circulation of
a pamphlet explanatory of Secretary Chase's

capital.

sment upon him.
It is said that on the night before the expedi
tion to Barnesville, information was carried to
the enemy at Centreville, and that a brigade
left there about the same time ours left their
camp. Hence the meeting and the fight.
The Grand Army of Kentucky.
It is estimated, from statistics that are reliable.
than Genj Buell has, to-day, an army in the field
of not less than one hundred and ten thousand
men, to which the States of Indiana and Ohio
are adding about two thousand daily, and to
which they will add, by the consolidation and
dispatch of regiments, fully thirty thousand men
between this and the first of January. We be
lieve, therefore, that with the beginning of the
new year, Gen, Buell will have an army of one
hundred and fifty thousand men. There are'now
seven grand divisions, each containing three
brigades, and the brigades made up of from
three to five regiments, with artillery and cavalry
attached. The brigades will average eight thou
sand men throughout. The division command
ers are, as we have been able to ascertain
them
1. Gen. Alex. McDowell McCook, at Lebation.
.2. Gen. George H. - Thomas,at Lebanon.
3. Gen. Ormsby M. Mitchel, at Elizabethtown.
4. Gen. William Nelson; at Newliaven.
5. Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden, at Calhoun.
6. Gen. Richard W. Johnson, at Nolin River.
7. Gen. Albin Schceplf, at Somerset.
The commanders of brigades, include Gen.
Kegley, of Pa. ; Gens. Dumont and Man
son, of Ind. ; Gems Boyle, of Ky. ,• Cols. Turchin,
Carrington, (18th regular) Sill, Lytle, etc. The
troops are mainly concentrated in the central
portion of the State—at Elizabethtown, New-
Haven, Lebanon, Nolin River, etc., which are all,
within a radius of twenty miles. Gen. Schcepfrs
corps, at Somerset, forme the left wing of the
army, and just beyond it, at London, is the
Tennessee brigade of Gen. Carter, who have
been let loose from other restraint and permitted
to follow their own instincts: The right wing of
the army oacupies the country along Green River,
with headquarters at Calhoun, and fills the Gap
between the centre and Federal positions at Pa
ducah and Cairo. Regiments are also stationed
at Lexington and along the Lexington and Cov
ington Railroad; and at points on the Ohio Riv
er below Louisville. There are now but few
troops remaining in Louisville.
The above we quote from an exchange, but re
gard. the numbers, as being greatly exaggerated.
From Missouri
Gen. Pope has assailed the rebels, lately, in
several places; and especially at Black Water,
Clinton, and Warrensburg.
On one of the occasions he captured 300 of them':
On another, 1,300. Several smaller parties have
been taken. The loss of life has not been severe
on either side. Nearly two hundred heavily
den wagons are already in our possession, to
gether with a large quantity of ammunition, arms,
a thousand horses, tents, camp equipage, Sze.
The following telegrams are published
Oryanvira,z, Dec. 23.—Part of the prisoners
captured by Gen. Pope at Black Water, last
Thursday, passed down last night on a special
train. Among those sent down are Col. Magoffin,
brother of Gov. Magoffin, of Kentucky; Col.
Robinson, who had command of the rebel forces
at Black Water, and who was in the battles of
New Springs, Wilson's" Creek. and Lexington
Col. Alexander, who says that he fought in all
the battles; Lieut. Col. Robinson, Major Harris,
Dr. Smith, one of the wealthiest men and largest
slaveholders in Missouri, who has done every
thing in his power to aid and comfort the enemy ;
McKeown, Sheriff of Benton County, who, it is
said, by misrepresentation, gained admission
into one of our camps, made a diagram of it, and
left, and that night the rebels made an attack
and killed sixteen or seventeen of our men; Dr.
Moore, of Syracuse, and many others, who have,
gained notoriety by their zeal and labors in the
secession army.
The troops are again in possession of Lamine.
We were absent on this expedition justfive days.
In this time we marched about 100 miles in a di
rect line from the place, and scoured the country
through which we passed for a distance of forty
or fifty miles on each side of the route, took about
1,500 prisoners, 1,000 horses and mules, 1,000
stand of arms, 100 wagons, and quantities of
stores, supplies and clothing.
ST. Louts, Dec. 22.—Dispatches received at
headquarters say that the, command sent to Lex
ington by Gen. Pope, burned two ferry boats and
a foundry at that'place, and took two captains,
one lieutenant and four men prisoners, and seve
ral horses were captured.

I,artign
There have been several arrivals from Europe
during the, last week. The latest is the Persia,
with dates to the 15tli inst.
The absorbing topic is the difficulty whickhas
sprung up between England and the United
States on account of the arrest of Mtison and
Slidell, heretofore noticed. The English papers
are less rabid than they were the previous week,
but are still very hostile.- 'Messrs. Bright, Cob
den, and a few other prominent men, have made
speeches and counselled moderation. There is
•
yet no. G overnment: utterance ; but the sending
of troops and arms to Canada, and of vessels of
war to our coast and to the Gulf, indicates
danger.
On the arrival of the , news in Paris, relative to
the arrest of the Confederate Commissioners, on
an English vessel, Gen. Scott, who was in that.
city at the time, wrote a letter to the American
Consul, which was published, justifying our
Government. ' This letter was liberal in its views,
and had a very favorable effect, both in France
and England. Gen. Scott.has just returned, un
expectedly, and it is supposed that he is influ
enced by some considerations of great import
ance. The French papers, since the publication
of the General's letter, have been mild in their
comments on the United States.
Prince Albert, the Prince consort, expired of
gastric fever at noon on Sunday.
The Liverpool' Mercury, of the 19th, stated that
reports prevailed in London that the Earl of
Derby had been consulted by the Government,
and approved of its policy in reference to the.
American difficulty.
It is suggested to ship owners to instruct the
captains of outward bound ships to signalize any
English vessels, that war with America is prob
able. This suggestion is strongly approved of
by underwriters.
The Australasian sailed for Liverpool on the
19th, with troops from Canada.

DIED—In Sewickley, Pa, on the 13th of November, Capt
SAMUEL C. YOUNG, in the 46th year of hie age.
For many years he had been largely , engaged in steamboat
operations, and was familiarly known in every city and town
along the Ohio and Misfissippi rivers as far as St. Paul, on
the Arkansas' river as far tittle Rock, and on the rivers of
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas. His sickness was
long and painful; During its progress, much time wasgiven
to prayer and serious reflection, and at length he was enabled
to place his entire confidence in the Lord deans Chriot, and
to die in peace, because depending on his merits: He Was a
skillful mechanic, fib upright and sUccesifful man of business;
out obliging neighbor, and a kind and affectionate husband
sad father.
DlEDiforember 21st, 1861, at the residence of her son
in-law, Andrew. Gordon, }Vella County, Ind., of lung fever,
Mrs. CHRISTIAN CROSBLE, in the 6th year of her age.
Mrs. C. emigrated to this country inlBso;from Marlston,
Berwickshire, Scotland.
This mother in Israel had almost reached her threescore
and ten years. Early - in life she began to love her Saviour,
with a love that increased to the end of her days. Jesus was
the theme oilier song by'day, and the subject of her thoughts
by night. In her journey through this '''yttle; of Mars she
looked to him for comfort, and found it. Nor did he forsake
her when she come to the dark valley; she entered it leaning
on his mighty imin. Mrs. C.''s children and children's chil
dren mourn the absence of ono .of the best of mothers. In
the sanctuary, too, she is missed; her presence was cheering
to her pastor, and her place was rarely unoccupied. In vain
de we look now for that venerable forrn—her seat is vacant.
She has left us. we trust, to enter the upper sanctuary,where
liar voice has been tuned to sing in higher and sweeter
strains the song of redeeming love. 'And now in the presence
of Wm alms+) much loved on earthy she joins that blood
washed throng as they shout, "My Saviour, my ;everlasting
DIED—At Wilk - Malang, December fitb, of consumption,
Mrs. MARTHA RD. HASTINGS; wife of Rev. John K.
fleeting% pastor of the church of Beulah.
Km. Hastings was the eldest daughter of . bildward ISPDon
aid, Esq., of Washington Co., Pa. Her death brings intense
anguish to a devnted -husband, irreparable lose to two little
children, and deep sorrow to a large -circle of relitions tnd
friends..
Any attempt at mere eulogy, in this obituary notice, were
a vain and needless offering to deParted worth. The highest
praise of the deceased is contained in the simple record of
her Meekness and piety, her active and useful life; and happy
and triumphant death. Wes birth was that of a child of the
covenant--her training was in the household of piety, watcic
fulness, and prayer ; and of these, her entire subsequent life
evidenced the happy fruits. .
In early life she connected herself with the people of God,
by a profession of faith in the Redeemer; and from this pe
riod the amiable traits of her natural disposition,-as sancti
fied by the Spirit, were exemplified, in an unvarying con
sistency and humility, and a quickened zeal and activity in
the cause of Christ. frer marriage, in 1849, with the Rev.
Mr: Hastings, brought her into the new 'and trying relation
of pastor's wife, to meet its duties and tolls, its open doors of
labors and usefulness. She entered upon the new position
appreciating correctly both its difficulties and importance;
and by her cheerful and earnest spirit, her Christian and
loving sympathy, won for herself the confidence and affec
tion of the congregation. It is their united testimony that
but few ever better * strengthened the hands of a husband, in
the work of the ministry, or more affectionately and accept
ably performed the numerous duties of her position. .Their
kindness and repeated acts of sympathy and attention, dur
ing her : protracted sickness, and their sorrow and sincere
lamentation at her death, attest the strength and depth of
their attachment.
The end ot such a life, as might, have been expected, was
calm and triumphant. The grainal invasion of disease ad
monished her to took forward to the inevitable issue. At first
she.was fearful ot full preparation for the solemn event; nor
was it easy, as, she said, weeping, to give up husband, chil
dren, a happy home, and beloved friends. lint realizing the
truth of the gracious promise, "As thy day is, so shall thy
strength be," she gradually gained the triumph over all that
bound her to earth, and over the fears inspired at first by the
prospect of death. Divine grace scattered the clouds, bright
ened the prospect, and by a strengthened faith enabled her
willingly to trust her loved ones in the care 'of her covenant'
Lord; and for hermit; to desire "'to depart and be with
Christ." Thus the fear of death was taken away, and when
the blessed Saviour came, she neither feared nor delayed to
go with him through the dark "valley of the shadow of
death;" but trusting with great peace and hope upon the
atonement of Jesus, her happy spirit was freed• from earth
and received into glory.

DIED - 4n the 9th inst., at the residence of her can-in-law
(Abraham Hays, of Lebanon,) Mrs. SUSANN . A BUNNA,
MAN, in her 84th year. . .
'ills' early church connexion was with the Evangelical Lu
theran, but on coming into the bounds of the. Presbyterian'
church of Bethany, then under the pest Mai care of Rev,Dr .
Jeffery, she united in fellowship, and continued there - until
the death of her htieband, some fifteen years ago, since which
time she has bee , ; mostly. ith her daughter, (Mfrs. Hays,) in

infirmaties of so great an age were upon her; but her re
liance upon Christ was firm, and in hope of heaven through
his time, she comfortably died. . A. O.
.DIED—On the httt inst., in her 26th year, MisaALMIBA
P., only daughter of Abraham Hays, of Lebanon, Allegheny
County, Pa..
For some years past her once vigorous amthealthful con
stitution had been in .e. measure impaired, and a manifest
tendency to pulmonary decline had often aroused the fearful
apprehension, on the part of those around her, that her so
ciety here would not long be enjoyed. But yet sudden be
yond all anticipation was her departure from earth ; for on
the dth inst., in nearly her usual state of health, she had par
ticipated with the family in the.morning meal, and on the
next day, at a little past mid-day, she was gone. Sudden,
however, as her summons was, the messenger fourid tier
ready. She had devoted her life to the service of God, and her
work was done, and well done. She welcomed 'every indica
tion•of her approaching dissolution, and was ready, yea de
sirens, to depart and to be with Christ; and seldom has it
been oar privilege to witness to an equal extent the triumphs,
of grace in a dying hour. '
At first, as her disease assumed its fatal appearance, the
thought of parting with her parents, and 'her : only brether,
all of whom she most tenderly loved, was a painful one, and:
as she said, constituted the only thorn in her 'dying pillow.
Butes she approached nearer her dissolution, the triumphs
of her faith and the transport of her, joy, in view of what
she saw so near before her, raised her above these painful
thoughts; and having dravvn from each 'of them lored ones
a promise to live for Christ, and to meet her in heaven, - she .
gave them a matt affectionate and touching farewell, and
. then, with a clasp of her own hands, with a smile playing
upon her lips, and with a countenance lighted up as if by a
glow of, refulgence from the spirit land, she mildly ey,;,
claimed, "They ate coming for me now; I begirt to see their
robes, and to hear their music." And very soon she was
asleep in her Saviour's arms. A. O. R.

THE NEW-YORE LEDGER,
The Ledger has been more prosperous—has made more
money during the post twelve months—than any other pa
per, !Other daily or weekly, publiehed in New-York or any
other city in this country, The great reason why the Ledger
has been ed much more successful than any or all other pa-.
pore is, that we have not hesitated to spend money freely
in securing the services of all the great and popular writers
of the country. While other papers have been cempelled to
economies--to cut down the size of their sheets, and print on
a poor quality of paper, we * have, on the other hand. been
enabled to keep up to the highest point of excellence, in
every respect, and to avail ourselves of all the improvements
and novelties which would tend to the entertainment and
gratification of our 'readers. We have never offered any,
humbug premiums to secure subscribers, for the reason that
we have preferred to put merit, or premium, into the paper
itself, and• in that way give every reader more than the
worth of his money. Besides, nine out of every ten papers
that have offered premiums have been swindling concerns,
and ,every Paper that has anything to do with that sort of
thing is sure to die. They are norconducted on sound busi
ness principles.
. The fo.lowing are the names of some of our leading con
tributors fOr the new - year-102. What other paper ever
presented. suelt an array of distinguished and popular
names:
HON. EDWARD EVERETT, REV. JOHN B. O. ABBOTT, WILLIAM
CULLEN BRYANT, A. GAHM BALL, Joan G. SAXE, GEORGE P..

RITCHIE, ALICE CARY, Mawr FORREST, MISS B. A. Doeur,
Mint Sumer Gosoz, and many clergymen, professors in
colleges, statesmen, and other eminent writers residing in
different parts of tke Union.
Our corps of contributors for the coming year will be so
large, and will embrace such. a variety of eminent talent,
that every department of literature will receive the particu
lar attention of some -one competent to do it ample and
special justice. - l.n fact, our contributors will send us from
week to week lunch more matter than we can possibly use,
so that. we shall always have a fresh and superabundant sup
ply front which to select the very best.
The Ledger's great success is owing to the fact that we
spare no expense in getting up the best family paper—a pa
per of high moral tone. The exalted reputation of its con
tributors, the practical and invariably pure and healthy
character of all its articles, the care which is taken that not
even one offensive word shall appear in its columns, and the
superiority. of its Tales and Sketches, have gained for the
New-York Ledger a position that no literary paper has ever
before reached.

The New-York,Enening Post says : 'lt is the wisest book
which has been written upon America Since De' Tocqueville.

logic, and its nobleness of purpose.",
