The Chronicle cannot certainly be charzed with ingratitude towards the military admir- istration; and its to-day's defence of Hitchcock vs. McClellan is quite as zealous as any of its previous efforts in behalf of the « President's military advisers.” The Chronicle also thinks that the public will entirely agree on the findings cf the courtin the Fitz Jobn Porter case. ee S7A reception dinner was given to (zen. Schenck by the Union Convention of the city of Baltimore at the New Assembly Rooms last evening. Schenck and Staff, Gen, Morris and Stait, Governor Bradford, and about three hundred military and civil guests. Among the proini- nent speakers on the occasion were Governor Bradford, Major General Schenek, Hon. Hen- ry Winter Davis, Hon. Mr. Maynard, and Gen. Morris. 7 #7 The Rebel Secretary of State, Benjamin, speaks in bis letter to Slidell (found with the capturtd correspondence) of the terrible slaughter of the Federal forces at Shephards- town Crossing of the Potomac, after the battle of Antietam, whole brigades having been enihiiated. The Federal official report of this affair has just been published, which states that only 92 were killed and 131 wounded in the engagement, with 1(3 taken prisoners. SF The House passed a bill to extend the time of the Assistant Secretaries of War, their appointment for one year being about to expire, and also to authorize the appoimtment of an Sesistant Deputy Register in the Treasury Department. 8 Shillington is as usual, early in the field with the monthly magazines, and sends us the acceptable February numbers of @odey's Lady's Book, the Continental Magazine, and Frank Leslie's Magazine. @7 The Peace Resolutions in the New Jer- wey Legislature was yesterday referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. A majority of the Senate are opposed to the resolutions in their present shape.

Urcer the 69%h Article of War, any member of 8 «curt-martial, including the Judge Advo- care,who divniges the voteof any member upon any of the charges on which an accused person ay have been tried, even to the President of the United States, commits palpable and fla- grant perjory, and is punishable for that crime, of conrse. Soit is impossible that any one but the Court and Judge Advocate Holt can know how the individual members of the Court yoted in this ese; as, if a bare majority of one voted Hl for aconvicticn, the record presented to the | President simply states that the Court found him guilty, without stat ng by what vote. In military circles here, it is believed that | there was buta bare majority of one vote for his conviction on either charge. ORDER BY G . HEINT7LEMAN IN RELA- TION TO DESERTERS.

Heintzleman: Caxrott H. Ports, Capt. and Ass’t Adj’t General. THE ARREST OF MR. DEMING. We are intormed that Mr. Deming, whose ar- rest and deportation to New York we mentioned yesterday, ceased to be the principal agent or correspondent of the Associated Press with the Army of the Potomac shortly after the battle of Fredericksburg. Se faras Mr. Theodore Barnard is concerned, itseems that the current rumor of his arrest grew out of the fact that he was arrested sey- eral weeks ago. He was soon thereafter re. leased, which makes it evident that there was nothing serious alleged against him. ARRESTED. Last night, Jas. C. King and Emanuel Weiler, were arrested by Government detectives near the Chain Bridge, charged with endeavoring to convey into Virginia more goods than weie specified in the pass under which they we.e essaying to cross over into that State; also with having in their possession something akin to a rebel mail. They were duly lodged in the Old Capitol prison. Se a NOMINATIONS AND PROMOTIONS.—A long list of sominations for and promotions in the mili- tary service has been sent tothe Senate by the President. The entire list, itis s«id, includes about fifteen hundred names. The following fie the Major and Brigadier Gererals in the voleer service: Mojor Generais:—William S. Rosecrans, D. N. Couch, H. W. Slecum, John J. Peck, Georze W. Merreil, Wm. F. Smith, John Sedgewick, H.G. Wright, John G. Foster, John G. Parke, Rotert C, Schenck, S. A. Hurlbert, Schuyler Hamilton, Gordon Granger, J. D.

It is stated that the Govern- or hss managed in some manner to offend the Mormon susceptibility tosuch a degree that his retirement will probably be necessary.— New York Times. an SF We observe that the Courrier des Etats- Unis, of New York, in purporting to give a { i resume of the «intercepted dispatches” recently | ublished, omits all mention of that in which r. Benjamin ascribes to the French Govern- ment, or its ageht at Galveston, the initiation 0: 8 political intrigue having for its object to detach Texas from the Southern Confederacy. The omission is sfftgular, but what may be the Motive of the Courrier in thus depriving its readers of the dispatch that should be most interesting to them as Frenchmen, we shail mot undertake to surmise.—Jntelligencer.

Horrible Outrages by Guerillas—Union Soldiers Killed and then Cut to Pieces— | Union Women Threatened by the Rebels. St. Lovis, Jan. 22.—Gen. Lean,commanding at Jefferson City, sends the Missouri Democrat | ® letter from Col. Pennock, Ninth cavalry, | Micsonri militia, dated Independence, Jan. iL, | stating that ten of his men were murdered the i week previous by rebel guerillas. | The soldiers were all shot, and their heads | and bodies horribly mangled, some of their facts were cut to piece: with boot heels. On many both ears were cut off. Whether these barbarities were committed before or after death is unknown. Col. Pennock says that ten of | these men, with their wives and children act- ing 8s spies, were equal to twenty-five of his troops. The guerrillas are threatening the Union wo- men of Jackson county, and the wives and sis- lers of some of the most notorious ones have been arrested to prevent them executing their | threats. They have also levied assessmen's | upon the loyal men of the county, and are col- | lectine it rapidly. Some of those assessed claim io be Southern sympathizers toavoid | paying, Col. Pennock advises that guerrillas’ | wives be sent out of the country. ——__ +200 XXAVIIth CONGRE THIRD SESSION | pe SeNATE.—After our report closed yesterday— | Mr. Wilson called up the bill providinz for | the cemiort of soldiers in the hospitals, and it wes debated by Messrs.
