[ie G senior’s Some misapprehension seems to exist as to the increase of the regular army proposed by Senator Wilson. His bill provides for fifty- eight regiments, each regiment to be com posed of ten companies of sixty-four men m each, or about thirty-seven thousand infan try. The twenty cavalry and artillery regi ments would swell it to a minimum strength of fifty-seven thousand. Geu. Grant is un derstood to favor the ten company regi ments. Various newspapers have given an impres sion that Senator Wilson's bill for remodel ing the regular army will produce a standing force of ninety thousand men. According to the terms of the bill there are less than eighty regiments, all told, provided for, and by company organization of sixty-four meu, ranK and file, these regiments cannot be more than seven hundred strong, thus giving an army of about fifty-five thousand. PROPOIBD DIVISION OF UTAH TERRITORY- Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, whose particular vanity is the overthrow of polygamy, intro duced a new system of tactics, on the 12th, with that end in view. He offered a resolu tion which provides for parcelling out Brig ham Young's Territory among Nevada and adjacent States. The Committee on Territo ries lias the resolution under consideration. Mr. Ingersoll proposes to- hammer away at the beastly practice until something comes down. By putting it on high moral grounds he has enlisted quite a number of members with him in the crusade.

Saussy. From our exchanges we compile the tol- fcowiug summary of the news : (condition of the squthern states—the PRESIDENT CALLED UPON FOR MORE INFOR MATION. A Washington letter of the 12th inst., says Mr. Raymond stole a march upon the Presi dent s enemies to-day very neatly. He sent jin a resolution calling upon the President for all information tending to throw light on f the political condition of the States lately iu 11 rebellion, such as proclamations from Pro- I visional Governors, election returns, reports of government agents, and the like. The House at first refused to receive this by operating in technicalities, but subsequently agreed to it, when offered by Mr. Divis. of tbeOuondago district of New York,to whom Raymond turned it over for presentation.— The effect intended by Raymond is the frus tration of a scheme tbe radicals have for -ending a sub-reconstruction committee down South to make a report to suit them. 1 he President is in possession of all tbe unbiased teotimomy neeeded in this mattter ; but the radicals, bent on throwing every obstacle in the way of reconstruction, refuse to re ceive it as reliable, backed as it is by news paper reports and the tales of commercial travellers in tbe conquered land. Mr. ttay- mond'.s resolution gives tbe President a caance to produce information which will prove ex haustive of the subject. If afterward tbe L radicals are shamefaced enough to insist on ’ a special spy committee, the country vvill icadily observe that the Reconstruction 1 Committee is really bent on obstruction. PROTECTION OF LOYAL PERSONS AGAINST IMPRO PER CIVIL SUITS AND PENALTIES IN THE LATE LY REBELLIOUS STATES. The following order has been issued by General Grant : GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 3. War Dept.

By command of Lieutenant General Grant. JE P. Townsend, Assistant Adj’t- Gen. GENERAL NEWS. A remonstrance, signed by a large number of ladies of Washington and Georgetown, was presented to the President to-day against the pardon of Richard S. Cox, a for mer President of the la9t named city, who served in the rebel army, and asking that, if for public reasons, his pardon should be de termined upon, it be conditioned on his do nating to the ‘‘National Colored Home Asso ciation'’ that portion of his property now occupied by it. It is stated in a Mobile paper of the 8th inst., that General Thomas, commanding the Military Division of the Tennessee, has given official information that all the national troops are soon to be withdiawn trom Geor gia and Alabama, that arms and ammunition will be furnished to tbe State militia, and that tbe State will be promptly furnished with provisions for destitute families. A Galveston despatch of the 9tb inst. an nounces that an order had just been issued there mustering out of service twenty-two of the white and colored regiments doing duty in Texas. , A bag containing one thousand dollars in gold, part of the recent Adams Express rob bery, was found on Thursday near Coscob bridge, on the New Haven Railroad. The ice in the Mississippi river, opposite St. Loui9, broke on Friday morning last, in consequence or the late mild weather, aud an immense mass of it moved down the stream with irresistible force, doing great in jury among the steamers and other vessels. Tne amount of damage is estimated at over a quarter of a million dollars. Another War Department order for the muster out of additional troops has been is sued. It includes over thirty regiments and about ten thousand men, belonging to tbe States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas. Ken tucky, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Maine and the Territory of Washington. A rumor has been prevalent at Fortress Monroe during the pa9t few days of a plot beiog in course of perfection there for the liberation of Jeff. Davis. A correspondent describes the scheme, according to reports, to contemplate me arrival thereof the in tended resouers singly, on board trading vessels, so a9 to ward off suspicion. The authorities have consequently instituted searches of the craft in the harbor; but there have yet been no arrests made, as no person of a suspicions appearance has been ducov- Cr The schooner Retribution, ashore on Hat- teris Inlet, had four of her crew frozen to death while hanging on tbe jigging, and two pilots are supposed to have been washed on and drowned. ,, „ - ,, The Retribution vra9 tbe old tug called the Uncle Ben, and was transfoimed early in the war into a privateer in Wilmington, N.

Pollard was armed with pistol, knife aud cowhide. Mr- Brooks was unarmed at the time, hut succeeded in taking the cowhide from his assailant and throwing it away, wnen Pollard draw a knite, and the parties were separated. . Rumors are prevalent in Richmond that Governor Pierpoint is about to resign, in consequence of the defeat of his appoiutees iu the Legislature, who were Union men. A lot of negroes on plantations on the Red river rose in arms a few days ago, and tried to murder their overseers, but tailed. 1 hey then marched to another point, where they waited for reinforcements. The mili.ia, however, succeeded in nabbing them all without serious difficulty. The ring leaders were arrested. On several plantations arms and ammunition were found secreted in con siderable quantities. Previously the freed- men in that section refused to do any work. The military and miliiia in Caddo parish are under arms. An extensive fire occurred at Matanzas, Cuba, on the morning of the 5th inst., in which eight persons lost their lives. A steamship line from Havana to Aspinwall is projected. According to the official government paper of St. Domingo, peace and order have been completely restored in that republic. An unsnccesslul attempt was made on Thursday night to assassinate Senator Wade, of Ohio, in his room in Washington, by some unknown vlllian who took or pretended to take offence at the Senator's refusal to sign a paper of some kind. Mr. Wade mastered and ejected the would-be assassin, who es caped arrest. .. , . James Stephens, the mysterious chief ol the Fenian movement, has been beard from at length. Iu a letter to John O'Mahony he endorses the conduct of that official, appoints him the American Representative and Finan cial Agent of the Irish Republic, and ignores the existence of the decernvirate of Senators, The document puts a summary end' to the dispute in the American branch of the Brotherhood.

The Cunaid steamship Scotia, from Liver pool December 30, and Queenstown Dec. 31, arrived at New York Friday, bringing seven-days later news from Europe. The resolutions introduced into the United States Congress on the infringement of the Monroe doctrine in Mexico, and the state ment that the French Ambassador at Wash ington was seeking fresh Instructions, bad caused considerable excitement in Paris and London, and had sent down the price ot American securities. The London and Paris papers were all devoting attention to the Mexican question, and tbe London Times predicted the speedy withdrawal of the French troops. Tbe speech delivered by the Queen of Spain at the opening of the Spanish Cortes indicated no immedifte Intention of aban doning the position taken upon the Cbilian question. • On the contrary the Spanish fleet in the Pacific was about to be reinforced. Meanwhile there were rumors of suspected Chilian privateers off the coast of Spain. In Ireland events of a strange character had happened in connection with the Fenian movement. By some means the govern ment became impressed with a conviction that a general rising was to take place on Christmas day, and the most warlike precau tions were taken to meet the emergency. Nothing, however, occurred to justify the fears of the authorities. Advices from South America, received by way of Lisbon, mentioned the probability of the Paraguayan war being brought to a peaceful termination by the mediation of European powers. Troubles had arisen in Japan through tbe Mikado, or Spiritual Emperor refusing to carry out the arrangements of the Tycoorf, or acting Emperor, with regard to the open ing of tbe treaty ports, and the fleets of Eng land, France and Holland had been put in motion. — , , We respectfully solicit consignments of MERCHANDIZE and PROPERTY of all Not being persuaded ot ; kinds, for Private Sale or Auction, and invite the attention of Boyere to our stock, which it opinion, but regard- j a a j wa j S } ar g e an( j offered at the lowest prices.

This doctrine of constructive presence, carried out to its log ical consequences would make all who had been connected with the rebel armies liable to trial in any Stale and district into which any portion of those armies had made J.he slightest incursion. N ' ‘ the correctness of that — ^ ing the doctrine mentioned as a doubtful con stilutionality, I have thought it not proper to advise you to cause criminal proceedings to be instituted against Jefferson Davis or any other insurgent in States or districts in which they were not actually present during the prosecution of hostilities. Some prom inent rebels were personally present at the invasion of Maryland and Penn sylvania, but all, or nearly all of them received military paroles upon the surrender i of the rebel armies. While I think that those j parties have no ultimate protection lor prose- j cutions for high treason, I have thought that it would be a violation of the paroles to pro secute those persons for ■crime before the po litical power of the Government has pro claimed that the rebellion has been sup pressed. It follows, from what I have said, that 1 am of the opinion that Jefferson Davis and others of the insurgents ought tq. be tried in some one of the States or districts in which they, in person, especially committed crimes with which they may be charged. Though active hostilities and flagrant war have not for sometime existed between the United States and the insurgents, peaceful relations between the Government and the people in the States aud di9iricts iu rebellion have not yet been fully restored.

The President incloses reports from the Secretary of War and the Attorney General, and atthe same time invites the attention of the Senate to that portion of bi9 annual message which refers to Congress the question connected with the holding of Circuit Courts of the United States within the districts where their authority has been interrupted. LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR. War Department, Jan. 4, 1866. Sir—In tbe annexed Senate resolution, passed December 21, 1865, referred to me by you for report, I have the honor to slate: First—That Jefferson Davis was captured by United States troops in the State of Geor gia, on or about the 10th day of May, 1865, and by order of this Department has been, and now is, confined in Fortress Monroe, to abide such action as may be taken by the proper authorities of the United States Gov ernment. , . , Second—That he has not been arraigned upon any indictment or formal charge, but has been indicted for tbe crime of high trea son by the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia, which indictment is now pending in tbe Supreme Court ot the District. He is also charged with the crime ol inciting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and with the murder of Union prisoners of war by starvation and other barbarous and cruel treatment toward them. Third—The President deeming it expe dient that Jefferson Davis should first be put upon his trial betore a competent court and jury for the crime of treason, he was advised by the law officer of the Government that the most proper place for such trial was in the State of Virginia. That State is within the judicial circuit assigned to tbe Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court, who has held no court there since the apprehension of Davis, and who declines, for an indefinite period, to hold aoy court there. The matters above stated are, so far as I am informed, the rea sons for holding Jefferson Davis in confine ment, and why he has not been brought to ^Fourth—Beside Jefferson Davis,the follow ing persons, who acted as officers of the rebel government, are imprisoned, to-wit: Clement C. Clay at Fortress Monroe, charged amoDg other things,with treason, with com plicity in the murder of Mr. Lincoln, and with organizing bands of pirates, robbers and murderers in Canada, to burn the cities and ravage the commerce and coasts of the loyal States on the British frontier D. L Yulee, at Fort Pulaski, charged with treason while bolding a ‘eat in tbe Senate ot tbe Lulled States, and with plotting to capture the forts and arsenals of the United States, and with iuciting war against the Government. S. R. Mallory, at Fort Lafayette, charged with treason, and with organizing and setting on foot piratical expeditions against the united States commerce and marine on the high seas. Other officers of the so-called Con federate Government, arrested and imprisoned have been released on parole to abide the action of the Government in reference to their prosecution and trial for alleged of fenses on their applications for amnesty and pardon. Among these are G. A. Trenholm, Secretary of the Treasury; John A. Camp bell, Assistant Secretary of War; James A. Seddon, Secretary of War; John H. Rea gan, Postmaster General; R. M. T. Hunter, Senator ; Alexander H. Stephens, Vica Pre sident; and sundry other persons of less note. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. jXJTEB TBOM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Attorney General’s Office,) Jau. 4, 1866. | actual hostilities ceased. When the Courts are open and all laws can be peacefully ad- ministered and enforced in those States whose people rebelled agaiust the Government; when thus peace shall have come in fact and in law, the persons now held in mili tary custody as prisoners of war, and who may not have been tried and convicted for offenses against the laws of war, should be transferred into the custody of tbe civil au thorities of the proper districts to be tried for such high crimes and misdemeanors as may be alleged against them. I think that it is the plain duty ot the President to cause criminal prosecutions to be instituted before the proper tribunals, and at all proper times, against some of those who were mainly in strumental in inaugurating, and most con spicuous in conducting the late hostilities. I should regard it as a direful calamity if many whom the’sword has spared, the law should spare also, but I would deem it a more dire ful calamity still, if the Executive, in per forming bis constitutional duly ot. bringing those persons before the bar ol justice to an swer fgw their crimes, should violate the plain raeanitkjj of the Constitution or infringe in the lea9t particular the living spirit of that in strument.

The Evans Gift Book Stork in Philadel phia—The following is lrom the Philadel phia correspondence of the Round Table : Some years ago Evans' Gift Book Store was accepted as one of the institutions ol thi9 city, and was conducted with a great deal of firmness. After a prosperous reign of seven or eight years, Mr. Evans came to grief, as tbe saying is. He had been robbed on all sides—plundered to a vast extent. One of his employees, his confidential clerk, built half a street with money which,he eventually confessed, he had abstracted from letiters addressed to Mr. Evans, and received by mail. Mr. Evans eould have stood this, but tbe war obliged him to close seven ot his branch offices in the South, by which he was a heavy loser. . “Mr. Evans has manfully struggled since his business eclipse; latterly as agent for the Florence Sewing Machines. He' has just re-commenced his old gift book business, advertising liberally (which was the secret of his former success), and is likely to make a fortune again.” Mr. Evans advertises books at very low prices, with a gift, worth at the least 25 cents and liable to be worth $100. Cata logues will be furnished by addressing him- at 628 Chesnut street, Philadelphia. • Gen. Mercer.— Hugh W- Mercer, the ac cused in the Savannah case, is an old regu lar array officer, and his ancestors were ii our army from its existence. His grand father, Hugh Mercer, a Scotchman, who was engaged at the famous battle of Cullo- den, emigrated to Virginia in 1760, and was appointed a Brigadier of the Colonial army on the 5th of June, 1776. He was mortally wounded on the 2d of January 1777, iu tbe “foggy” affair which has since been various ly known as the battle of Princeton and Tienton.The son of this General and father of the rebel General was Wm. Newton Mercer, who was a regular army surgeon from 1813 to 1821. Hugh W. Mercer, the present head of the family, was boro in Fredericksburg. He entered West Point as a cadet from Vir ginia in 1824, and graduated third in his class.—Mobile Tribune.
