Last night, while on guard duty at the railroad station, Lew's Hoag, of Company 1, Third Wisconsin regiment» ‘was accidentally shot and instantly killed by one of his comrades, On Friday night a magnificent reunion was given to the officers of our army by Colonel Maulsby, of the Mary- land Home Brigale. It took place at the Colonel’s man- sion, one mile from town, on the Harper's Ferry tarn- Pike, The mansion itself is an object of interest, Besides being the largest private dwelling in the State, its con- struction dates back before the Revolution, and was built of brick Imported from England. Some idea of ite mag- nitade can be formed by the fact that ten cetillona were formed and performed in the hall at one time. At the front entrance of the mansion was a large trans- Parency lettered “Welcome, you defenders of our coun- try,” and at the end of the hall another, ‘The Union, one and ingeparabe It must and shall be preserved.” Car. riages, containing the officers and their ladies, commenced ‘arriving at eight o’clock P. M., and continued until ten It te estimated that about four hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen were present. The delegations of officers from all the regiments represented proceeded in a body from the aurte-room to the parlor and were individually introduced to the proprietor of the mansion and to his ‘accomplished wife and daughter. The hall was decorated with the Stars and Stripes and State flags of the regi- ments, producing a delightful effect upon the senses. After an hour’s promenade in the hall, the ball was opened by General Banks with Mrs. Maulsby, followed by Colonel Maulsby and Mrs. Banks, and a full floor. Dancing continued until midnight, when the side room were thrown open, revealing a delicious repast. Subsequently dancing was again resumed and continued at intervals until three o’clock in the morning, when the wearied but delighted guests sought their respective homes. General Banks’ entire staff, with their indies, as also those of Brigadiers Abercrombie ahd Hamilton, were present. Several Union citizens and their families added a charm to the occasion ; but it would be invidious in a correspond- ent to particularize any individual grace, beauty or ac- complishment in such numerous assemblage. Last week five exchanged rebel prisoners stopped here a few hours on their wey homeward. Their names wore Jonah Orrison, Robert Drain, Arthur Dawson, J. H. Cusick and Joseph E. Murphy. A part of them were very defiant, threatening to return to the army and revenge what they considered gross ill treatment during their captivity. Private intelligence from Hancock goes to show that one day last weck a portion of the Connecticut Fifth and New York Twenty-cighth regiments crossed the river and advanced four or five miles into Virginia to a Louse where they found and brought away one cannon and twenty musketa apd sabres, also a considerable amount of minor implements of warfare. ‘When the rebel troops under Gen. Jackson approached Bath, previous to their attack on Hancock, two compa- nies and a section of Union artillery retreated back to- wards the latter place. On arriving nearly oppo- site, where there was a portion of a@ Penn- sylvania regiment, all retired over the river, leaving behind their camp equipage, ete. Shortly afterwards General Jackson’s force appeared and shelled the town, doing scarcely any appreciable damage. On his retiring our troops recrossed into Virginia and repossessed them- selves of most of the property left there. Sergeant Bingham, of the Twelfth Indiana regiment, was killed near the mouth of the Antictam last week by the accidental bursting of a loaded shell. It appears that he bad walked across the river on the ice, and on return- ing found one of te enemy’s shells, which, in attempting to ignite, burst, wounding him so severely that he died inafew hours. He wasa brother oggaptain Bingham, Assistant Quartermaster of General Banks’ division, and had just previously received the appointment of Secund Lieutenant. ‘The wagon camp of our division has been in a marked state of activity for some days past. It is located in a large field adjacent to the city. Capt. ©. K. Marks, of Pennsylvania, the chief wagonmaster, is untiring and very efficient in his position. He is greatly aided in his arduous duties by Mr. Francis Pfeiffer a nephew of the celebrated European tourist, who is the chief mechanic of the train, and who personally superintends al] the manu- facturing and repairing shops. Just at present horseshoe. ing is among the principal employments, and thirty to forty good workmen in this line of business would be immodiately engaged on application to Mr. Pfeiffer. Advices from Martinsburg of the 9th inst. state that there are no regulars of the rebel army there. All the troops at Winchester, excepting one hundred and fifty militia, had left for Morgan county to join the command of General Jackson, who, it was understood, was to at- tack Romney. It was reported at Martinsburg that a fight had actu- atly taken place at Romney, and that the rebel loss was one hundred killed, seventy wounded and two hundred taken prisonera. This was reported by a rebel militia captain, ‘The militia speak in unqualified language about their opposition to the Confederate government, and live only in hopes that we will take possession of thoir country and maintain our ground. Coffee, wheu it conld be obtained, sold for fifty cents a pound; salt $9.2 $10 per sack, and the enly quality to be obtained was the sediment of last year’s fish barrels.

ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST CONNECTICUT BATTERY. ‘The First Connecticut battery, one hundred andthirty strong, under command of Lieutenant Porter, arrived in this city from New Haven, Connecticut, yesterday fore- noon, The men have been encamped at Meridian Bill, near New Haven, for some time, and are goodly re- presentatives of the hardy sons of Connecticut. Their battery is not complete, two twelve-pound Parrot guns being yet to be provided. They are otherwise fully equipped, horses included, and are in every respect, a splendid body of men. Their departure from New Heaven was the occasion of qnite a spirited and enthusiastic demonstration, and they were excorted to the steamboat by the Second Governor's Home (?uard of Connecticut, and the reoruits of the Thir- teenth Connecticut Voluntecrs, now m course of form: 5 It was at first intended that on their arrival in York, they,should be conveyed to Governor's Island; nt this Programme was chanced, as everything was pot ready for their reception in that loca- lity. They, therefore, landed at the foot of Twenty-fourth street, East river, where it is intended that they will remain until orders are received from Washington as to their future movements. The following is a l'et of the principal officers:— 8. 'T. Porter. Lieutenant commanding. Jobn 8, Cannon, First Licutenant. George Metcalff, Second |ieutenant. 'm. T. Seward, Second Lieutenant. Hurlbert, Surgeon. Bliss, Quartermaster. Sergeant Major. the above Mr. Aliny, the State agent ap- ticut troons in this city, called , owing to the miserable ar- rangements made for quartering the men and horses of the battery on Governor's Island, he had been compelled toquarter ths horses at McCauley’s stabies, in Thirty- fourth street, near, Third avenue, and the men in the Park Barracks, thero to await further orders. THE TWENTY-NINTH MASSACHUSETTS REGI MENT. ARRIVAL OF A LARGE DETACHMENT. A large detachment of the Twonty-ninth Massachusets regiment arrived in New York yeaterday morning by oue of the steamors of the Stonington line, ‘The companies consisted of the numbers F,G and H. They arrived s0 early and quietly that’very few persons knew any- thing about it. The inain body of this regimont is now and has been for some time at Fortress Monroe, where they have now become seasoned troops. In May or June last seven companies were sent to the fortress to relieve two Massachusets regiments (the Third and Fourth) then stationed there, Captain Barnes, who commanded the companies at Forirers Monroe, has since beon made Colone! of the regiment. ‘The company known as the Bay State Guard is a4ive organization, The men are the true sort and will imitate their fathers in the defence of the country. ‘The Catone! of this regiment is the well known offieer who commanded at the sunguinary fight and disasier of Big Bethel, and accompanies the companies noW going South. The men, dvring their stay here, will be quar- tered at Governor's Island till arr ents are comn- ted io rend thew on to Newport News.

AND COMMERCIAL. Tvespay, Jan 14—6 P. M. The following is a comparative statement of the exports (exclusive of specie) from the port of New York to foreign ports for the week ending January 14 and since January 1 :— 1860. 1861. 1862. $1,494,899 2,003,404 3,655,310 2,042,827 2,925,775 2,246,010 Since January 1...$2,597,126 6,019,179 6,901,820 This is a very excellent exhibit, and shows the error of those who affirmed that our exports would @ecline as soon as navigation closed on the rivers and lakes. Our railroads supply the port with provisions and flour enough to pay for alt our im. ports. If the trade for the year goes on as well as it has begun, New York will be no loser by the war. Money {s offered everywhere at 6 per cent on ca}l, and first class paper sells at 6 a 7 per cent. In many places money is offered at 5 a 534 per cent, where it is not expected to remain for many days, The brokers expect an easier money market as the spring approaches, as there must be a large amount of currency set afloat, and the wants of commerce will be small. Foreign exchange was weaker for the steamer from Boston to-morrow. Some of the bankers asked 11424 up to the close of business; but we hear of no transactions above 114, and very good bills were sold at 11334. Gold was rather higher to-day. Sales were effeeted at 334, and at 3 the brokers were generally buyers. The stock market was inactive to-day. Opera- tors seem to be waiting for the action of Congress and the army. At the first board principal changes were an advance of 4 in registered United States 6's, % in Pacific Mail, 3 in Erie, and ¥ in Central; and a decline of 1 in Harlem, 34 in Michigan Central, 14 in Michigan Southern, % in Toledo, and % in Rock Island. Galena was firm at yesterday’s price. Missourie rose 24. After the board the market was dull, and remained so throughout the afternoon. At the afternoon board there was an indisposition to operate, and the market closed dull, the following being the last quotations:—United States 6’s, re- gistered, 1881,-8974 a 90; do. 6’s, coupon, 1881, 9076 a 9134; do. 5’s, coupon, 1874, 80 a 4; Indiana 5’s, 76 a 78; Virginia 6’s, 49 a 560; Tennessee 6's, 43%¢ a 343 North Carolina 6's, 60% a —; Misnouri 6's, 42 a 44; Pacific Mail, 98% a 99, New York Central, 82% a 83; , 34% 2 35; do. preferred, 36% a 37; Hudson River, 39 a 89%; Harlem, 12% a 13; do. preferred, 31 a 82: Reading, 36% a 3744; Michigan Central, 51%4 a 62; Michigan Southern and Northern ‘Indiana, 2024 a do. guaranteed, 4074 a 41;-Panama, 112% a 14; IMinois Central, 63 a 6344; Galena and Chi- cago, 68 a 68; Cleveland and Toledo, 9634 a 37; Chicago and Rock Island, 533% a 54; Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy, 6034 a 61; Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, 20.0 21; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, 109 a 110; New York Central 7’s, 1876, 104a —; Erie fourth mortgage bonds, 79a 79%; Michigan Central 9's, first mortgage, 960 97; Ilinois Central bonds, 7’s, 90 a 9024. Congress still disappoints public expectation in not passing the requisite measures for supplying the government with money for the prosecution of the war. The country presents the unexampled spectacle of a people entreating with loud and unanimous voice to be taxed, and of a Congress idly devoting day upon day to discussions of the slavery question, of the merits of individual gene. rals, and of frauds in horse contracts. The scheme modestly laid before Congress by the bank com- mittee has already, it is presumed, been laid on the table. Senator King, of this State, has proposed ® measure for the issue of $100,000,000 in small Treasury notes, bearing seven per cent interest. There is this objection to making the new Trea- sury notes interest-bearing: they must and will pass current as money among the people, and in passing from hand to hand in the ordinary transac- tions of trade they will evidently be current for their face, and no more. As the interest day comes round speculators will get hold of them, collect the interest and pay them out as money afterward, ‘Thus Mr. King’s scheme would put the government to an annual expense of $7,000,000 for interest, and No one would benefit by it but speculators and bank- era. The people will take the new Treasury notes without interest, and keep them afloat at par, if Congress will secure their redemption by adequate taxation. Without taxation, however, it is idle to talk about fresh issues of Treasury notes. All the stipulations in the world about interest will not protect them from rapid and immense deprecia- tion unless secures an ample revenue from taxation. ig the point which should oc cupy the attention of C And there should be no fear of making the t00 heavy. Better have a revenue of 000,000 than one of $150,000,000. Great Britain, with less resources than we have, raised $360,000,000 in a single year, 1860-1. An additional 2% cents a pound on sugar would yield an enormous revenue, and, in the opinion of persons in the trade, would, for some time, come out of the pocket of the Cuban pro- ducer. A stamp tax might be made to yield $76,000,000 a year without pressing severely on fany.one. The capacity of our people throughout the country to bear direct taxation is greater than that of any other poople in the world. The taxes inthe city of New York, which are paid without a tmurtar by every one, amount to about $16 per head of our population. At this rate of taxation, the people of the loyal States could pay direct taxes at the rate of $320,000,000 a year. It is earnestly to be hoped that Congress will lose no more time, but will proceed at once to give value to the Treasury notes which Mr. Chase must issue, by imposing taxes which will yield at least onongh to pay the expenses of governmeni, the interest on the debt, and a proper sinking fund to extinguish our whole indebtedness in twenty-five years, Mr, Cisco bas called upon the banks for the last instalment due upon the Octdber loan.
