Te ‘The Anticipated Satisfactory Settlement of the Crisis—The Etiquette of Diplo- macy. TO THES EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Yor, Jan. 7, 1862. have to thank you for the careful publication of my ‘Vetter of the 17th ultimo, of which this is the sequel, and ‘to congratulate you on the course you have pursued with “regard to the appropriate disposal of the Confederate de- puties, The event has been critical, the solution honora- ‘ble and satisfactory; neither party has.yielded a right nor suffered a wrong. The progress, to its termination, ‘has been eonducted with scrupulous courtesy and dig- mRy. It is also gratifying to remark, thatfin the prompt set- ‘tlement of our difficulties the public mind has accorded @ decisive approval, and, in so doing, a favorable illustra- tion has been made of the reliance which can be placed on the enlightened intelligence of the American charac- tor. Notwithstanding the disappointment which has existed in the escape from punishment.of the compro- ‘mised persons, predilections and prejudices have been yielded to the hope and in the anticipation, that the even- ‘tuality will prove that the liberal policy which has pre- -vailed will be eminently conducive to the most conser- vative results, It is, beyond all question, certain that Great Britain ‘has not entertained any design to engage in a hostile con- troversy. In the diplomatic correspondence she has opened for the obvious purpose of obtaining an amicable adjustment of the offence—supposed to have been inten- ¢ional—we have the most conclusive evidence that that proud and indomitable nation has voluntarily permitted herself to be committed to a persistent policy of a friendly future, The insult has been obliterated; the required surrender has been made; and, in thus seeking this reparation, a favorable op- portunity has been gratuitously passed over for a prompt and complete recognition of the alien Confederate States. ‘Thus, in contemplation of these circumstances, it is im- possible to resist the conviction , that in the immense mili- tary demonstration which has been made there has been ‘no other object in view than to be prepared to meet any hostile contingency. To the federal government the cap- ture and the surrender of the inculpated individuals have not been without their importance. An occasion has ‘thus boen afforded to prove to the great Powers of Eu- vope that the United States remain true to their neutral Professions, thus evincing that we have not forgotten the ‘Obligations we owe to the civilized world to preserve in- violate the invaluable conservative doctrines of interna- law. It has also been gratifying to note, throughout the ‘whole correspondence, that the Minister of Foreign Af- faira, Earl Russell, bas preserved # uniform course of marked delicacy. On every pomt there bax been hibited an honorable desive to avoid giving any cause for frritation or opportunity for misapprehension; and, al- though a settlement on principle was deemed necessary, 4t was, nevertheless, left to the Sccretary of State to in- dicate and suggest the modus iof their exodus in @ manner most agreeable to the federal government in order to ensure the consummation of afriendly issue; and ‘while wo have thus had an occasion to feel and to express ‘the sincere respect we owe the Ministry of her Britannic Majesty, we have an agrecable duty to perform in the candid admission, that to Lord Lyons we are indebted for cordial and judicious co-operation in carrying out the ‘conservative instructions of his government, most especi- ally in the considerate and unostentatious minner in which he has directea the departure from Boston of the released prisoners. Through the whole correspondence—in its tone, tenor and distinuguished comity—we have an opportunity to entertain the assurance that our foreign disagreement has ‘Deen conducted to an honorable denouement, and that, Benceforth, we can enjoy the gratifying anticipation of a Yenewal and an advantageous continuance of our friendly relations with Great Britain; and, while we recognise the PPY restoration of a peaceful mtercourse, it is satisfac- tory toconclude that there can be no possible grounds for apprehending that we shall again be involved in tho pros- Ppoctive perils of an outside interference in the conduct of our domestic entanglements. In consideration of the elo- vated character of Great Britain, and the respect due our Proper soll ‘esteem, wo ought to banish from our thoughts, as lately degrading, all suspicions that there may Ihave existed any intent or foul for the discreditabie Purpose of promoting some invidious clandestine outrage on ouf national integrity. In harboring a fecling or im- of the possibility of the existanceof a chicanery a0 improbable, we should not only run counter to tho fairest ovidencesof truth and sound policy, but we should Fefleet most fatally on the estimate we entertain of the ‘value of national character; consequently we are bound, in justice to Great Britain and to our own elovated re- gard for the moral worth of diplomatic engagements, to dispel any insinuation o@motive or design of an inimical tendency. That we shall have ample cause to be gratified ‘with th. termination of our recent negotintion we have rea- son W believe, and the more carefully and assiduously we shail examine the past the better satisfied wo shail bo PR tseat ie honorable terms of restoration to prospective y. ‘Asan additional instance of the re‘ined delicacy pur- sued by the British Ministry, we can re‘er with pieasure to the discreet and judicious conduct of Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, inhonorably abstaining from any de- monstration, by parading a strong naval force, indicative of a disposition to control negotiation through the in- fluence of a coercive power. In consideration of al! the circumstances we have had ‘under reviow, we have strong and conclusive groun:is for ‘the belief that no hostile feelings have existed, and that Do measares have been adopted exhibiting a disycsition in her Majesty’s government to wound our nati ‘na! pride or to give oftence impugning the honor of the American character. It is thus we have an opportunity properly tv ‘appreciate the real importance of the discriminiting rch igment which has been displayed by tho Cabinet uf fashington. Inthe midst of an excited popular desire to reek vengeance on Siidell and Mason for their known ‘al instrumentality in bringing about our national ‘troubles, so deplorably destructive and embarrassing to elon interests of the country, the Executive has firm. The administration have not only wei,hed ‘with respectful attention the diplomatic claims and ce- amands of Great Britain, but they have encountered with ‘Success a foregone conclusion that any concession would be disreputable, In the onset of the discussion ‘was serious dangor of collision, through an obstinate im- pvlso that no surrender should be made, for the fortunate suppression of which w» are indebted’ to the deliberate and cautious judgment of the Secretary of State, whose statesmantike and eminent talents and conservative iatel- ligence have proved superior to false prejudices aud par- tixan ities. In connection with this subject, it is important to bear in mind that England has, with wonderful consistency. and under serious triais, maintained inviolate the right ‘of a voluntary protectory for political rofigoes of every description. “Sovereigns, noblemen, patrios and revolu tionist, have found in her dominions an asym, where they have beon received and treated with the most uni- form disintorestedness and humanity. ALEXANDER HAMILION The New Treasury Agent at Port Royal. Edward L.

He is the author of several law books of great movit, and also gained some popularity by an article on contrabands, which he published in the Allan'ic Monthly of November last. At the breaking out of the Southern rebellion he refused all position in the army, but ‘enlisted as a private soldier inthe Fifth Massachusetts regiment of three months volunteers, faithfully perform. fing all the rigorous duties of camp life. It was daring {his short campaign that he collected the information which he bas so usefully thrown together on the treat- ment and management of contrabands. He is a native American, of about thirty-two years of age, and is admi- rably fitted for the office to which he bas been appointed. ‘Ho has travelled considorably, and the Secretary of tho ‘Treasury has known him for some years. In addition to ‘his othor attainments, Mr. Peirce is said to be familiar ‘with several languages. Captain Jewett, of the City of New York. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Naw Yorx, Jan. 8, 1962. ‘You are at all times willing to do justice when uninten- tional wrong is done. By inserting the following in your ‘widely circulating journal you will correct an error and do justice to Captain J. G.

Cases of Silk and Linen The United States vs. Twenty-two Brecatel.—Verdict for claimants. Mr. F. Smyth moved, on the case of the United States vs. Ono hogshead, and obtained judgment for claimants. Mr. stated that the government were pre- pared yesterday in prize cases, which would have occu- pied the Court this week and next, but the causes were all put off on motions of counsel fur the claimants. The counsel were called into other courts, and that is the reason they are not reaay to-day. ‘Judge Botts again expressed himself decidedly opposed to the delays of counsel on either side. The Court sat daily and had to adjourn for want of business. ‘The Court then for the day. A Mail Robbery Almost Discovered. As evidence of the vigilance of our Police Department ‘we must mention a circumstance which occurred a few days since, and which came nigh proving something more than a joke, so far as a well known official connected with the Post Uffice Department was concerned. ‘The mysterious appearance of a number of large and well filled mail bags in an out of the way place in Pearl street, on Tuesday forenoon, upon the rack of a hotel conch, naturally attracted the attention of some of the vigilant residents of that neighborhood, who hastened off to the Sixth ward police station to report their sus- picions that something wrcng was goingon. Without logs of time the experienced Capt. Dowling himself, in citizen’s dress (the uniform might have spoiled all), was on the spot. The coach, sure enough, was there, and the driver standing by his horses. “What have you done with those mail bags?” sharply demanded the ever-faithful Captain, “Carried ’em up the alley way, by order of the two genticmen that came with me,” was the timid response of the Jehu, his whip answering to indicate the ontrar.ce to the alley. Carefully opening the gate the faithfvl officer proceeded cautious!y up the narrow pirsage way. Peering down into a subterranean pit, above which swayed the piston rod of a powerful engine, he discovered, by the light of the glowing furnace, an im- ‘mense pile of what appeared to bo mail matter, inter- ming! with large quantities of postage stampe. ‘This, together with the sight of several empty mail bags lying near, more than confirmed the Captain’s sus- picions,and seomed to make his prey doubly sure. In addition to es ee} — ia aad of: shovelicg the stamps ant to the angry flames, were ieceaacmalnn, win sibeired tobave the direction of matters. “Holloa, below there! what does this mean?”’ shouted the excited policeman. This abrupt adress led the gentleman suporintending the burning process to turn bis face up- ward, when the Captain, at once recognizing him,exclaim- ed, in some confusion, “Is that you, Holbrook?” and hastily departed from the scene, ayparently chagrined at his visions of the arrest of a ‘bold mail robber’’ having been thus rudely dissipated. ‘The aforesaid government official, it appears, had been ordered by the Postmaster Goneral to destroy all the old issue of jag stamps (some $38,000 worth) remaining in the Now York Post ‘Office; and. this large quantity being in overy shapo, from a single one cent or ninety cent$ stamp up to the original packages valued at $1,500 each, the task of burning them thoroughly and safely, in any ordinary stove or furnace, wag too formidable a one to be undertaken, and they wore accordingly conveyed to Morrall’s iron foundry, No, 26 Elm stroet, access to the furnace being by way ¢ a long, narrow alley way running from Pearl street. There their destruction was qnickly and surely effected; und, tho auto da fe being concluded, the suepe-ioi mail robbers and tho collapsed mail bags took their departuro, this time undisturbed by the bjue-coated guardians o! the city mora’s. ‘The coach driver still awaits an explanation of tho con- trast between the cautiocs entrance to, and the hasty exit from, that alley way, on the part of the pvlice captain. City Intelligence. Lxcrors py Dr. Cuarix.—Rey. £. H. Chapin will lecture in Hoboken to-night, at the Baptist church, corner of Third and Bloomfield streets. Snbject—“Elements of National Life.” This lecture was postponed from the 20th ult. until the present time, ou accouut of unexpected illness of the spedker. GoveRwaext SALH oF Cortox.—The Sea Island cotton which was received here last week from Port Royal, is to be sold at public action to.tay by the government, at Nos. 65 and 67 Watts street.

Fire 1x East Taery-seconp Sraesr.—About four o'clock on Thursday morning a fire broke out in a stable in the rear of No. 181 East Thirty-second street, owned by Francis Higgins, and occupied by several poor cartmen- The building was destroyed. Loss about $300. Six horses, owned by the folluwing persons, weve burned to death, euch valved at $150, and only one of which was insured, viz:—Wm. Mathews, James Clarke, Micl.ae! Donnelly, Robert Beatty, Barnoy Finegin apd Poter Kolb. ‘Tho fire is supposed to have been the work of an in- condiary. Fine 1x Tie Boweny.—About nine o'clock on Wednesday night a fire broke out in the secoud hand clothing store, 253 Bowery, owned by H. Harris. The flames were soon extinguished; damage about $75 to stock; said to be in- sured. ‘The building is damaged about $25; insured. The store had only been closed afew moments when the fire broke out. ‘The matter is under investigation by the Fire Marshal. Police Inte llig: Descent Urox 4 Gampiine Hovss.—Captain Holme, of the Eighth precinct police, made a descent upon Bob Green’s gambling house, Ne. 551 Proadway, on Wednes- day night, and arrested Charles Neville, Charlies Boyd» George Smith and others. The proprietor of the saloon happened to be absent at the time, and escaped arrest: A “tay out,’ dealing box, a quantity of checks and several packs cf cards were seized by the officors and taken to the station house. The prisoners were com- mitted for examination by Justice Quackenbush. This makes the second time the police have broken up Green’s place within the last six weeks. How many more visits they will have to pay the establishment before the busi- ness can be effectually squelched it is difficult to say. ‘The police have been very active latoly in regard to gam- Diing houses, and {t is hoped their efforts to snppress the nefarious trafic will be attended with success. Au. Apout 4 Mans.—Recently, John C. Bailey, a hotel keeper residing at Smithfold Flats, Chenango county, ap" peared before Justice Connolly and charged Samuel Wil- fon, of this city, with having defrauded him out of a mare valued at $240. The complaint upon investigation was dismissed, and now Wilson comes forward and makes a charge of perjury against Bailey. One of the witnesses for the ohare Patrick Waterson, ail that Bailey offered fifty doliars if he would do w! he could towards the conviction of Wilson, and another of the witnesses swears that he was present at tho bar- in between Bailey and Wilson relative to the maro, and that certain representations alleged to have been made by Wilson for the purpose of defrauding Bailey, as sworn to by the latter, never took Halley, was brought before Justice Osborne y yand held to bail in the eum of $2,000 to answer. A Fuormvs rrom Massacnvserta.—Jobn Johnson, a fu- gitive from Lawrence, Mass., was arrested yesterday in this city and taken back by the sheriff. The prisoner, it ‘appears, was confined in the Essex county jail for bur. glary, when he managed to get loose and mako his way to New York. This makes the second time Johnavn has escaped from his jatlors, and it is to be it will be the last, He bas given the authorities at Lawrence con- siderable trouble. Stapung Arvray iN Prat Streer.—An old man named Jeremiah O'Connor, living at 476 Pearl street, became involved in a quarrel with his next door neighbor , Timo- thy Sheall,on Wednesday night, when the latter, in a moment of passion, drew a knife and stabbed O'Connor in the neck, Fortunately the wound was a slight one, and will not be productive of any serious inconvenience. Sheall was subsequently arrested and taken before Jus- tice Bronnan, who locked him up for examination. Chamber of Commerce. THE OFFICE OF SOLICITOR OF CUSTOMS—THE COAST SURVEY QUESTION, ETC. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at their rooms, at one o’clock yesterday, Mr. Pele- tiah Perit in the chair. The meeting was called for the Purpose of taking into consideration the new office of So- licitor of Cugtoms, to be created by the government, ‘such officer to have the charge of all things appertaining to revenue cases and emoluments accruing from the same. Mr. CHARLES GOULD was the first speaker upon the occa- sion. He said that it was quite necessary that the Cham. ber of Commerce should discuss and ventilate the ques- tion of this new appointment. He would advocate a re- monstrance tothe proposed act (the gentleman reading the act in question), and putting forth his points as fol- wo 1, It ts contrary to sound policy that the law adviser of the ernment should be the subordinate of the Collector, as the bill PPh osex.

It is not the fault of the United States District Attorney that every suit in his office is not closed.

In all of these sixty suits the Diswrict Attorney was ready and anxious tor ‘and moved them on. ‘The thirty-nine suits not tried went off by order of the Court upon various excuses and reasous urged by the claimants, who, it must be borne in mind, are as much entitied to con: sidvration trom the Court as the United States Attorney or any other government oflicer. i. ‘The present United States District, Attorney Is prompt, efficient and energetic in the discharge oi bis duties, and the oftice show that during the nine months that he has been in ollice, he has done more work, and closed up more suits than was done in Ene period, of two years’ time by any of his predeceasura.

Mr. Govzp concluded the reading of his points by some further remarks in support of his argument, and making a motion that a spocial committee be appoluted to inquire into and report upon the bill. Captain Marsuau. said that as Mr. Gould had stated one side of the question it could not but be proper that they should hear the other side. If this bill nad been put for- ward by tho Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of tacilitating the business of his Gepartment, it was not the place of tho Chamber to go against it. The District At- torney had so much criminal business upon his hands at progent that it was impossible for him to attend to any cases respecting the collection of revenue. He thought tho latter fact was a suflicient cause for the appomtment of a Solicitor of Customs. He believed that Secretury Chase was perfectly honest in hi ‘Mr. Punuars thought the sul was as important as any that cuuld possibly be brow before the Chamber. It was impossible for the District Attorney to attend to his own business and to that of re- venue matters. He therefore would argye in favor of the appointment. Mr. Moses GRINNELL argued against tho proposed act. The proposed appointment would greatly increase the expenses of the government, and it was entirely uni cessary, as there were already two law ollicers eng: at the Custum House, and the merchants of New York did not want a third. The delay occasioned in the adju- dication of the revenue cases was not at all owing to the District Attorney, but to the Judges, whose ovher busi- ness precluded them from attending to the matter. While the Secretary of the Treasury was asking the mer- chants of New York to contribute funds to carry on the war, ho was adding to the expenses of the Custom House upwards of twenty-five tho.sand dollars. In making seizares, one-balf the amount accruing therefrom was handed over to the parties making such seizure. He wished that the whole matter should go beture a special committee. Mr. E. C. Cowpen read a lengthy letter from Marshal Murray ip support of the proposed appointment, and, in doing £0, paid a hizh enconium to the merits of that gen- tieman for his efficiency in office. In that communica- tion it was stated that there were at present 160 witnesses confined in relation to revenue cases, who wore receiving $150 per day awaiting the adjudica- tion Of the same. He was in favor of the proposed mea- sure. > Mr. Cmrrennky spoke against the appointment. After some further disc sri u the resosution of Mr. Gould was parsed, and a committce of five, consisting of Messrs. Low, Grianell, Ma, shali, Richards and Cowden, appointed to examine and report upon the bill. ‘THE UNITED STATES COAST SURVEY QUESTION.

News from South America. We have files of the Jornal do Commercio, of Rio Janeiro, to the 25th of Novemher last, containing later intelligence from the Rio de Ia Plata. ‘The most significant intelligence which reaches us from the Argentine Confederation is the retirement of President Derqui, who had embarked for Montevideo on board the British war steamer Ardent. Just before leaving he ad- dressed an official letter to Vice President Pedernera, in which he said that,as it had been stated that the only obstacle to the cessation of the disastrous state of affairs in the republic was his presence in the administration, he had determined to withdraw, and to lay before the Congress the reasens that influenced him. There was no order whatever in the country, and the directions of the Vice President are treated with contempt. According to the papers, there was a general arming in progress among the inhabitantsof Tucuman, Santiago, Saita, Jujuy, San Louis and other provinces—some in defence of their local porecprents ‘and others in opposition to them. Anarchy and confusion prevailed every where. Cordova was said to be on the verge of revolution, and the government was moving large bodies of troops for its suppression. Negotiations were still continuing between Mitre, of Buenos Ayres, and Urquiza, of the Argentine Confedera- tion. The Prbuna sets forth the following as the sup- Deged prevanition of Mitre, on the part of Buenos Ayres:— 1 removal of the actual national; authorities by Urquiza. 2.

During the month of May last, myself and associates submitted to the government a proposition to lay a sub, stantial submarine telegraphic cable along the Atlantic coast, and that of the Gulf of Mexico, from Annapolis, Maryland, to Galveston, Texas. We proposed to have the cable manufactured in Eng, land, of adequate strength and durability; to employ English steamers and English experts to submerge the cable; to thoroughly organize and fully equip the line at the termini and at the various intermediate points to be designated by the government; to accomplish the under- taking within four months, and to deliver it to the go- vernment in complete and working order, when they should be entirely satisfied that the contract had been faithfully complied with, and the promised communica. tion effectively established; then, and not till then, did weask remuneration. We estimated tho entire cost at $750 per mile. At the time this proposition was made to the govorn- ment, in May last, its accomplishment was quite feasible. ‘The cable can only be manufactured in England. Our re- lations with her then offered no obstacle to its immediate construction, nor to the employment of the two English steamers competent and necessary to its proper submerg- ing. Adequate capital (a million of dollars), with willing hands and hearts, stood ready to undertake the perform: ance of this greatly neoded service. I append herewith a copy of the letter to President Lincoln. It is but just to say that the scheme received his instant and hearty approval. With his well known practical brain he comprehended {ts great utility and desired its accomplishment. He submitted it to his covsti- tutional advisors, who, strange to say, could not discover any necessity for it. Frivolous objections wero raisod: it was contended that the administration were not clothed with sutficient authority to incur the expenditure; that Congress would have to ‘make an ap- propriation, and as secresy was so-vital tits completo sauce 88.an application from either of the depa:tments would juvolve publicity and consequent defeat of tho scheme, and when suggestions were mede by parties (eminently conipetent) that mot and obviated this objec- tion, now obstacles were forng, and scruples—satis- factory to none but these who nfffie them—were raised, and 6 the wholo matter was ‘laidon the tabla,” to be resuscitated at this late be when tho project is rendered practically impossible by the peculiar condition of affairs between this country and Great Britain. Wasmixaton, May, 1861. Mr. Presipryt:—Sir—I have the honor to submit in writing the substance of the suggestious made to you this morning on the subject of a tiegraphic submarine cable between Annapolis aad the mouths of the Mis-is- i river. Ve propcse to procuro forthwith, and submerge along the lino cf the Atlantic coast, from Annapolis (or any point in the vicinity of Washington, which muy ‘be de Fivsated by goyernment) an eifvctive submarine cable, of ainple streng:® 413 Qyrapility, to establish di- ck tng rect communication with the blo ss hd that ay be stationed at any and all the seaports op the ¢ coast and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, a3 Car nd the mouths of the Mississippi river; to com- plete the whole and put it in successful operation within a reascnable tine—say four months, ‘That portion of the eableon the Atlantic extending from Atmapolis to Augustine intersecting Fortress Monroe, Wilnington jeston and Savanvab, and that portion on the’ coast the Gulf of Mexico extending from Key West to the Belize, intorsecting Fort l'ickens and Mobile, may be com- pleted’ and made ayai'able within one hundred days. Communication could be kept up ad interim by means of asmall despateh steamer to ply between Key West and St. Augustine (timo involved twenty-four or thirty hours.) Tho cepth of water, strong currents, and the coral reefs around the Florida capes, involve the noces sity of a mach larger and stronger cable, the manufacture of which will require some more time; but it can, in all probability, be manufactured and laid so as to make a continoous line within the abovo specified time—four months. if the government entertain a favorable view of the general character of these suggestions, 80 as to desire the accormplishment of the purpose to which they lead, we sro prepared at once to submit specific propesais for’ the work and to enter upon a contract for its completion upon such terms and conditions as shall be entirely satisiac- tory, both as to the guaranteo for its successful operation and the ecouomy of its construction. Moat respuctfnily, your obedient servant, JOS. R. CURTIS. The Rejection of Mr. Foster, of North Carolina. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Fortams Mownos, Va. , Jan 3, 1962. Your Fortress Monroe correspondent, in a leter speak- ing of matters at Hatteras, dated Dec. 25, 1861,makeg the following misstatement :— ‘The news of the exposure and rejection of Foster, the bo- gus Union man and would-be representative of loyal heroes of North Carolina, excited the liveliest satisfaction. In justice to Mr. Foster and to the people of the Banks who elected him as their representative, unanimously, and by the largest vote ever thrown there, I feel it my duty to say, that so far fromthe pews of his failure to get his seat being received by the inhabitants with ‘ satisfaction,” I heard only from them ex- pressions of the deepest regret. Among men from all parts of the coast, from Chicumacomico to Hatteras, whom I saw after this news had been received, thore was no other sentiment than that of vd sor- row and mortification. Their voting for Mr. Foster was no farce or picco of pastime, but a serious and earnest bu- siness; for a great majority of the 274 votes cast for him were thrown boyond the federal lines, outside of military protection, and at the risk of tho estates, liberty and even lives of the voters. ‘The confidence of my people in Mr. Fuster is unshaken. They will stand by him as he bas by them, and wo will all sink or swim together, Yours, truly, M. N. TAYLOR, Intelligence. General D. E. Sickles left New York yosterday to ro- sumo the command of his brigade on the Lower Potomac. During bis visit here for 8 the General devoted his whole time to auditing accounts of the creditors of the Excelsior Brigade. The sum total for recruiting and equipping this large force of five thousand mon was about $180,000, without receiving apy ald from the fa- mous Union Committee or Governor Morgan. This sum is incredibly small when we recall the fact that the Union Committee lavished frequently sums of from fifty to eighty thousand dollars on the organization of a single regiment of eight hundred men. The Van Wyek Commit. tee, it seoms, have investigated the accounts of General Sickles’ brigade and found them above suspicion.
