8 i NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Defeat of Gen. MeClellan nee by the Abolitionists im Congress—Legislative Matters—The Assembly Committees Still Umder Consideration, &., de. * Aumagey, Jan. 13, 1862, ‘A gentleman direct from Washington, occupying a po- Bition that enables him to know many things that are not given to the public, informs me that the meddlesome abolitueo members of Congress have already defeated Ubree different projects of Gen, McClellan to strike severe: Diows against the rebels—blows tha! v uld tell largely for the Union cause. They are thus their nor of “Onward to Richmond,” and witht. imation vo know all of Gen. McClellan's secrets, « and assist- img the rebeis, apparently determined to bring about a defeat of our armies and the final separation of the Urion. Nothing of public importance transpired in either House to-night. Both branches of the Legislature ad- journed at an early hour to attend the Governor's levee. Mr. Raymond did not announce his standing comumit- teen, as was expected that he would. James B. Taylor, Owen Brenuan and Comptrolier Baws are here, it is un- derstood, for the purpose of assisting Raymond in the formation of his committees. The first named is known tohave several important schemes to be ground out. It is, therefore, importamt to him that certain committees are made vo suit his ease. The announcement of the committees will tell how far he is to be favored. State Treasurer Lewis this morning took possession of the books and papers of the Treasurer's office, under Judge Peckbam's order, Mr. Dorsheimer making no fur- ther opposition. The Governor's levee was well attended to-night. Most ‘of the judges of the Court of Appeais, State officers, seve- ral military officers and a number of prominent politi. cians from different porteons of the State, as wel] as Sena- tors and Assemblymen, were present. Everything passed off pleasantiy, and will be looked back upon as one of the finest entertainments of the seas ion. NEW YORK | LEGISLATURE. Senate. Atwany, Jan. 13, 1962.

Affairs at the Custom House. REMOV ALS—RETRENCHMENT—REDUCTION OF SALA- RIRS—THE SUPPLEMENTAL TARIFF ACT—SUGAR, TEA AND COFFEE MAY NOW BE WITHDRAWN PROM BOND AT THE OLD RATES—WHO OWNS THE SALT- PETRE? ETC., ETC. The employes of the Custom House were thrown int a igh state of excitement iast Suturday by the remeval of a large number of the clerks. The process of decapita tion has been rather slow of late, the Collector not bav ing made any considerable change in his force for six weeks or two months. Last Saturday, however, the orders arrived from Washington to dispense with the services of al! of that class of employes called “markers.”’ There are clerks who held inferior positions in the public warehouses; some of them, however, bad been transferred to other positions, severai acting as mes. fengers in the Custom House. In accordance with the orders of the Treasury Department, the letters of dis missal were served on about eighty of the clerks desig- Dated above. The removal of these clerks was not for any political cause, but was one of the steps of retrench- ‘ment adopted by the administration. As the clerks re mnoved received a compensation of $650 each, the amount thus faved to the treasury is about $52,000. In addition to this step of retrenchment, another was taken in re- ducing the salaries of some of the officinie—a few of whom had their salaries reduced from $1,500 to $1,200 per an num, It is rumored that thie is but a commencement, and that, ere long, more cierkships will be abolished ‘The long expected orders cacerning the new duties on tea, coffee, sugar, &c, have at last ved.

Rennt of BY semen ‘Tiris Beard heid the second, yegsion for the present year last evening, President He’ gry in the chair. A committee of the Beard of Councilmen, of which Mr. ‘Barney was chairms’s, entered tne chamber, and were received by (he aembers rising in their places. Mr. Barney anneanced that the committee were instructed t0 inform the Board of Aldermen that the Councilmen had been duly organized, and were ready to receive commu nications from this branch of the legislature. President Henry, in answer to the committee, said vhat he congratulated the Board of Councilmen on their organ- ization, and he requested the committee to convey to their Board the compliments of the Aldermen. Aw soon as pa- pers were ready, they should be sent to the Councilmen for their action. Alderman Warsu offered @ resolution designating the Times as a paper for Corporation advertising. Ordered 1° be laid over. Alderman Bray moved, as an amendment, to insert the Hexaty, Sun and Sribune. The Cxam declared the amendment out of order. Alderman BRaby was desirous of having the Corpora- tion notices properly advertised, and, though Mr. Ray mond was clected Speaker of the Arsembiy, be (Alder- man Brady) was not to be carried away from his sense lie duty. e matter was laid over. Alderman Bray then offered a resolution designating the HExap, Privune and Sun as the papers for the Corpo. ration advertising. Laid over. Committees were then appointed to consider and report upon the suggestions contained in the Mayor's message, and to revise the rules of the Board. THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY TNSVRCTOR. The City Inspector's report for the year 1861 was pre sented and ordered to be printed. It is a lengthy docu- ment, containing many important suggestions and recom. mendations. The number of deaths during the year was 22.117, marriages 3,008, births 10,015, which result, com- pared with the enumeration of the previous year, would go to show that the population of this city was decreas- ing, instead of being largely on the increase. This ap- parent disparity is charged w the refusal of doctors, midwives and ministers to comply with the Registration laws, and the Legislature is called upou to pass stringent enactinents compelling correct returns. The Hackley contract, and the workings under it, are among the most interesting subjects of the report. ‘It is shown that the contract, as interpreted by Mr. Hackley, is, wholly on the side of the contractor. and that the in- terest of the city is left to take care of itself. The advan tage to Hackley in availing himself of these imperfec: tions enables him to receive $279,000}for only 241 days, work of street cleaning; and his profits derived from these imperfections alone, at’ the close of the contract, will amount to the snug sum of $320,778. It is understood, however, altouuh the report is silent upon the subject, that these are not the only pickings which the contract- or has in contemplation, By one of the sections of the contract, Mr. Hackley insists that he is not compelled to sweep the streets at all during the winter months, no matter how favorable the weather or how dirty the streets. He is only required ‘according to his construction) to Keep the streets passa. le for vehicles. Until the recent snow storm, Mr. H. has been putting into practice his definition of the section in question, and for two weeks had refused toclean the streets in accordance with the clear wording of the con- tract. The City Inspector has determined to put a sum- mary veto upon the intentions of Mr. H., and in this he is sustained by the written opinion of the Corporation Coun- sel. This nice little operation, should it succeed. would give to the contractor $23,250 a month for three months, or $69,750 a year, which, with the $320,778 already al- luded ‘to trom the tinperfect wording of the Soatract would, at the end of five years, amount to $660,528. ‘This is certainly a model contract, which throws go many ad- vantages into the hands of the contractor. It is well known that at Jeast $100,000 a year clear profit are made under this contract, when the dutiestare performed in # legitimate way, which will be more than doubled by the method adopted by Mr. Hackley, should it succeed. "It is probable that the disclosures made by the City Inspector, relative to the inefficiency of the contract, will lead to its investigation by the proper authorities. Colonel Delavan shows, by well established data, that onr‘large mortality is owing chiefly to the number of im- migrants who die yearly in this city. He estimates the number of immigrants who remained in the city out of the 105,162 that arrived in 1860, to be 15,000, and furnishes the nativity of those dying here. The ustounding fact is presented that eleven out of every tweive of children dying last year were foreign born or of foreign parents, and these of adults foreign born bear a like proportion to native born. The City Inspector complains that sufficient attention is not given'to the emigrant upon his arrival and iroggenta reforms to the Commissioners of Emigi tion, Many other subjects of general interest to the cn lic health are considered in detail. and the City Iuspector coneludes with his proposition of sanitary reform a con- tained in his communieation to the late commission on the new charter, and with a searching analysis of the Gris com bill, which, it is understood, is to be forced through the Legislature without delay. This expose bythe City Inspector of the object and tendencies of the Griscom scheme must prove highly damaging to that invention of interested projectors, while the approval of the numerous friends of the City Dispensaries, and of the medical faculty, of the proposed plan of Mr. Delavan, cannot fail to have its effect in Al bany. At ail events, the subject, now fully represented on both sides, can have and impartial hearing be- fore the Legislature, an lecided upon by a thorough examination of its nrerits. It was taoved to print 5,000 copies of the report. At- derman Brapy moved us an amendment that 2,000 copies be printed. Alderman Brady said that 1,000 copies woul’ de enough. He did not see the necessity of printing such ry number in order to kil! the Health bill in the . They had killed it for three years by hard dollars, and that was where beat the doctors. He knew the Legislature could be Sought, and it was for that purpose they got the bills up. He had been up to Albany ins ear and bought the Legisiature. How much did it cost? Aiderman Baapt-—t took up $6,000 with me and had to sleep on it between two beds—(iaughter)—in the Dela van House; yet that was not enough, and | had to come down and get $2,000 more. They may pass whatever bills they Lag We won't interfere with them. The motion to print 5,00 copies was adopted A communication was received from the Comptrolier stating that the $600,000 loan could not be raised until the Legislature had taken action on the matter. After some routine basivess the Board adjourned to Monday next at five o'clock Board of Councilmen. This Board beld its first regular meeting last ev: ening | President Pinckney presiding. There was a fuil attendance of members, After the minntes of the proceedings had an the or. ganization of the Board were read, a few petitions and resolutions were presented and referred to appropriaie committees, when appointed. A communication was received from the Comptroller in relation to the appropriations made by the Common Couneil for the equipment of volunteers ana the support of their families. He states that inquiries had been made of capitalists and others, from which it appeared that it was quite uncertain whether the additional amount of $500,000, appropriated a few weeks ago, can be raised at the present time, unless the same shall first be sanetione! by the Legisiature, the thirt cond section of the char~ ter of 1857 providing that the Common Council shall not have authority to borrow avy money whatever on the credit of the Corporation, except in anticipation of the revenue of the year in which said loan shall be made unless authorized by a special act of the Legislature, The foligwing resolution was appended to the commu nieation:— Resolved, That the Comptroller be authorized and re sted to make application to the Legislature of the State of New York on behalf of the Corporation of the city of New York for the passage of an act to legalize the several ordinances of said Corporation, making appro- prmtions in aid of the defence of the national Union, and to aid in supporting the ilies of volunteer soldiers serving in the army of the United States. ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted without de- te. After the transaction of some other routine business, the Board adjourned till next Monday, at which time it ie expected the President will announce the committees for the year. ‘The Hopper Will Case.

ARRIVAL OF THE TWENTY-EIGHTH (IRISH) REGIMEN’ FROM MASSACHUSETTS, ‘The Twenty-eighth (irish) regiment from Massachusetts arrived in New York yesterday morning from Boston in the steamer Connecticut. After the men had been dis- embarked they were transferred to Fort Columbus, Gov- ernor’s Island, where they are to remain until further orders. Since the Ist of lasi October this regiment has been encamped at Camp Cameron, witbin a short die- tance of Harvard College. Some time before leaving their encampment a disaffection arose among the men of the Twenty-eighth, because it was intimated that native American officers would be placed in command of the regiment: but this afterwards turned out to be a fallacy, and the government, appreciating the power of the Irish element in th us struggle, has officered the regiment wishes of the men. @ ballaghs, and their officers are of the same stripe, and who will doubt, when sent into action with the “Irish brigade” up: der General Meagher, their loyalty or their courage? Previous to their departure from Boston, on Friday after- noon, Governor Andrew presented the regiment with a bewutifulstand of colors, making an appropriate speech ou the valor of Irishmen, and dwelling an the,noble cause in which they were now fighting. Mayor Wightman also presented them with an elabo- rately. wronght “Sunburst” of green silk. On one side it bore the device of the “Sunburst”? of Ireland, sur- rounded by the Irish harp, the wolf dog, wreaths of shamrock, and displaying the following motto on an American eusign:— Qerevcrerecseneseeeeneeeeseel bt teseeeet tonnes oboe.

Cotton was exported for a series of years, and as far down as 1812 cotton gins, worked by wind, were’ in geveral use: versels direct from England loaded at Fort St. George, and now ii some enterprising capital- ist would resuscitate the cultivation of cotton on the Caicos Islands we think it would be remunerative. ‘There are large tracts of public as well as private lands which could be purchased cheap, and there are sae 1,000 to 1,200 working men, women and children, a portion of whom could be employed. The princ eal amy onlay’ and difficulty would, we presu exist in ginning, packing and shippia, The present residents at the Caicos would probably un- dertake cotton cultivation it their attention was properly directed to it, and government, by its initiation, were to give such encouragement as the muderiaking deserves.

Pursuant to a call, published in the German papers yes~ terday, the German residents in Hoboken held a meeting at the German Club House, Nos. 28 and 30 Garden street, with a view of taking action with reference to the case of General Sigel. The meeting was a large and spirited af fair. It was calied to order by Mr. Stiastny, who nosi_ nated Dr. Rittler to preside, who thereupon took the chair, Remarks were then made by Messrs. Dr. Donaj and Stiastny explanatery to the object in view, who, without making a distinct proposition, were emphatic in their denunciation of the ill treatment of General Sigel. ‘Their object was to show the necessity of taking measures 10 protest against such treatment of an able officer, and to make the canse of General Sige! their own. On mo- tion of Mr, Moehrleit was therefore resolved that the re- sidents of Hobokea participate in, and support the de” monstration of the German citizens of all parties in New York, which is to take place for that purpose at the Cooper Institute on Thursday next. Farther, that an address be pre- pared to be presented and read at the mass meeting, with a view of expressing the seutiments of the Germans of Hoboken on this subject, and that a committee be appointed to carry out the above proposition. This was passed by a unanimous vote. Several speeches were ‘then made. Mr. Stiastmy endeavored to remind the aysembly as to the duties of the Germans in this country during the impending conflict, to show why General Sigel should be supported and vindicated. Mr. Feldner exposed the inabilities, prejudices and impracticabilities of some military leaders in contrast with the bright career of Sigel as a man and as a military leader, He was urgent that the sentimenis of this meeting should be expressed in a clear and energetic manner. On motion, the following committee were appointed, who were charged to draw up the resolutions and address to submitted at the Cooper Institute meeting:—Messrs. . Feldner, A. Moehrle, J.
