He was in Richmond on the 19th, and represents affairs in that city ‘en in a miserable condition. The soldiers rove about that ‘eity committing depredations of all kinds against the citi. sens and their property, becoming intoxicated and doing 0 they feel disposed. He states that a deep gloom hung ever that city when the announcement was made public @f the death of ex-President Tyler. Flags hung through- ‘eut the city at half-mast, and many public buildings, as well as private ones, were draped in mourning. In fact gloom and Jespondency encircled that doomed city. I learn, too, that only some 5,000 soldiers garrison Rich- mond, which is only used ag a school of instruction, pre- paring recruits for active service. General Magruder still commands at Yorktown. Himself ‘and troops much fear an attack from Gen. Wool. It is true that he had applied to Jeff Davis for authority to burn York- town, in case ho was attacked and unable to hold his posi- tion, which had been grapted. Magruder was intoxicated mearly all the time, and the men under him complain bit- terly of their treatment. My informant states that afew ‘weeks sinco he saw General Magruder review his com- mand, and the men made a handsome appearance and Seemed vory proficient in drill. He spoke to them on ‘that occasion, assuring them that they should soon meet ‘the Yankees and have occasion to achieve a brilliant victory; but up to the time my informant left his promise had not been fulfilled. Much fear and discontent existed throughout the ‘Bouth, in view of an anticipated attack by the Burnside expedition. Its destination wag unknown, but many sur- mises were expressed, most of them taking for granted that Newbern, N.C., was the locality. Two regiments, which were withdrawn from the Army of the Potomac, had been sont to the North Carolina coast, and passed through Richmond on last Sunday, the 19th, for that point. Newborn had been fortified, presenting, as was Fepresented in Richmond, a formidable appearance, and ‘was garrisoned by about two thousand troops, and was Delieved to be strong enough to oppose the expedition. Great excitement prevailed throughout the Ola North @tate, the robels being low spirited and dojected at @ffairs,as they presented themselves, and those who ‘were suspected of loyalty to the Union government ‘were clated at the prospect of a speedy release from ty- wanny and oppression.

Mr. Chevers, Post Chaplain of this Place, by the Tribune—A Short Sketch of Mr. Chevers?

Ina letter of mine, which appeared in the Heaaip on Monday, 20th inst., a slight mistake occurred, whieh, although slight, appears very unmilitary. I refer to the saluting of the French frigate Pomone by the fort. I in- advertently stated that the fort saluted the frigate first; whereas, military etiquette demands that a foreign ves. sel always salutes the commandant of a fortification first, and gun for gun is returned. In this caso Admiral De Montaignac saluted the fort at nine o’clock on the morning of the 17th inst.,and, baving the compliment returned» called upon the Major General commanding, attended by his officers. The Tenth regiment New York Volunteers, Colonel John E, Bendix, was drawn up in line and re- ceived the Admiral with all the honors due his rank. Rev. M. L. Chevers, a venerable chaplain of the regu- lar service, attached to this post since 1824, has been maligned in an article appearing in the New York Tyibune of the 12th inst., purporting to come from a Rev. Mr. Strickland, of Port Royal, as follows:— CHAPLAINS AT HILSON HEAD. The Rev. Dr. Strickland writes from Hilton Head that, “now that a safe lodgment has been made on the sacred sot of South Carolina, every ship brings patriots by tho quantity, embracing every profession, not even except- ing the sacred, who are ready to do valiant servico for their country. A fine field is here opened for post chap- laing, at a salary of $2,000, and applications are pourmg Jarming rate. Acertain church, which is the and least efficient in God s Israel, seems to have the first claim for chaplaincies, both in ‘the army and navy; and so willing are the powers that be to have it 80, that | have been info:med that the chaplain at For- tress Monrce is not only a pro-siavery man, but strongly tinetured with secessionsm. It is time the nation knew who were its friends in church as well as State; and, up lees it wishes to perpetuate this war, it had better make ‘a.clean sweep at once of all who, while they fatten on the government, are doing ail in their power to destroy it? ‘The regular and volunteer officers stationed here, as well as all those who are acquainted with Mr. Chevers, know that the above article reflects severely and more unjustly on a pious and deserving old gentleman. Mr. C. 4s a native of New York city, and served during the war of 1812.and ‘14 in the United States Army as sergeant. At the close of that war he removed to this place, and has resided here and at Richmond ever since. In 182%4a unanimous vote of the Council of Administration, called by Colonel Eustace, the then commander of Fortress Mon- roe, called Mr. Chevers to his present position of post chaplain. There being no act of Cor allowing such an oilicer, he recebved his pay for eleven years from yoi- upteer sul jptions of the officers. 1837, when Con. gress enacted a iaw establishing the office, Mr. Chev ‘was the very first one that wis appointed, and has wine that period served faithfully and honestly in that capacity. ‘The major portion of his family are engaged in the service of their country, to suppress this oly rebellion. All the officers unite in a request that the above ——_ may be contradicted through the columns of the Hunan. About the Ist of December , 1861, in the police news of the New York dailies appeared ar article, stating that one Theron Monroe, recruiting officer of the Tenth regiment New York Volunteers, then in New York, had been lodged in the Tombs on a charge of breaking into the promisos next door to 480 Broadway. The above named Monroe was in New York at that time on furlough, but was not recruiting officer. The circumstances connected with the Tobbery were such as to point to Monroe as the perpetra- tor; but the man bears a good reputation, and his misfor- tune was that he had imbibed too freely, and the burglars effected an entrance through the office where he was sleeping. The actually guilty party having been appre.

Rane ‘The past week has been marked by no event of interest, with the exception of the reappearance on the metropoli- tam boards of Mr. Hackett. Although three years have elapsed since he last played here—and three years count for something when a man gots to the shady side of six- ty—this veteran actor has lost nothing of the verve and unetuous humor which render him the best living repre- sentative of Falstai and other comic Shaksperian charac- ters. In securing his services the management at Niblo’s has perfected s combination which, for the effective pre- sentation of both tragedy and comedy, is not to be sur- passed—at least with the present resources of our stage. Ht enables it to draw freely on the repertoire of the old English playwrights, and to give us pieces which are sel- dom performed , because of the inability of most theatres to represent them properly. On Tuesday next ‘the combination’? go for a week or two to Bosten, to make way for Mrs. John Wood and Mr. Collins in ‘The Colleen Bawn.”’ The comedy ‘‘revivals’’ at Wallack’s continue to attract overfiowing houses. On Monday ‘A Cure for the Heart Ache’’ was produced for the first time, and was deliciously played. It was repeated on Tuosday and Friday. On Wednesday ‘A Bold Stroke for a Husband” was given; but, though finely performed, it did not take so well with the audience. “She Stoops to Conquer’ is on the bills for to-night, and will be followed during the week by a succeasion of the comedies already played. “Our American Cousin” still holds the boards at Laura Keene's, and we hear of no present intention of with, drawing it. This piece is endowed with a wonderful vitality. To-night Mr. J. S. Clarke takes his benefit at the Winter Garden, when he will appear in his favorite character of Toodles. This and to-morrow evening will be the last occasions on which the ‘Naiad”’ will be given’ and we would advise those who have not seen this beau" tiful spectacular piece not to lose the opportunity. On Wednesday the “Octoroon”’ will be again revived. It is one of the best cards that the management bas handied during the present seagon. The junction announced between the Grau and Ma. Tetzek forces will give great satisfaction to the opera- going public. It is better to have one strong company than two weak ones, each doing the other harm without benefitting itself, Madame d’Angri is the only member of the Maretzek troupe as yet arrived. The others are ‘Rot expected from Tampico for another fortnight. In the meanwhile Mr. Grau will give short season of opera (six nights) at the two Academies, when he will again takethis company to Boston and Philadelphia for a few evenings’ performances, so as to give time for the fresh organization with which he means to commence the regular season. Towards the end of February he will probably bring out ‘Le Prophete,” “La Jutve,” and probably ‘‘Aroldo,” Verdi's new opera. From these arrangements it will be seen that, notwithstanding tno gloomy anticipations of the fall, we aro about to enter upon as brillant and enjoyable s musical season as any that we have had for several years past. Herrmann has been prestidigitating through the New England States. His receipts for the last three weeks have been about twelve thousand dollars. On Saturday he played in Bridgeport, and this evening he appears at Newark. After a few days’ relaxation in Now York, he will set out on another tour through the western part of this State, and from thence will proceed to Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Chieago. Forrest has engaged the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a series of bis Shaksperian performances. Mesars. Mason and Thomas give the third of their classical soirees to-morrow evening at Irving Hall. The programme is an excellent one. Tho perplexities of that bewildered body, the directors of the Brooklyn Academy, are, it appears, furnishing a theme to dramatic satiriste. Charles Gayler is embody- sg them in a two act comedietta, entitled “Our Set,’ to be produced immediately; and Hooley’s Minstrels an- ounce, among the dramatis persone of their new bur- leaque, ‘Jane Ashore,” “Mr. Smithers, a Brooktyn direc tor, opposed to theatrical performers.” The soirees dramatiques at’ Irving Hall are among the most elegant and fashionably attendod of the entertain- ments now being given inourcity. The artists, under the direction of M. Paul Juignet, are of a very superior class, and it is only te be regretted that their talents can- not find a more extended sphore than the trifles—amus- ing though they are—that are played at this pretty Itte boudoir theatre. The third concert of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Society took place at the Academy on Saturday evening. Not- withstanding the severity of the woather there was a very full attendance. The programms opened with Schubert's symphony in C which tired out its bearers by ite length and monotonoug repetitions. A much fuer work and magnificently execute’ was Gluck’s overture to “Iphigenia in Aulis.’” The audience, however, with a characteristic coldness, allowed 1is heauties without any marked evidences of appreciation. All their enthusiasm was reserved for the Liederkrantz perform. ances, which, being of a more popular character, elicited voeifcrous applause. Miss Kellogg was the only viculist. She sang the Bolero, from the “Sicilian Vespers,” and the “Come per mi eereno,” from the “Sonnambula.”” Both were given with excellent effect. Were the orchestral per- fed somewhat, and greater variety im ‘amme, these concerts would, we be- lieve, ploasc Lotter the majority of the subscribers.

The air had become so popular that at was played on parade by all the regimental bands. ‘The sisters Marchisio, whose duet singing faine has for some time past filled the musical journals of Italy, Ger~ many and France, made their first appearance in London on the 2d inst. at the St. James Hall. Both their voices are good—that of Mademoiselle Carlotta a clear and pow- erful ‘‘mezzo-soprano,” that of Mademoiselle Barbara a “eontralto” of fine quality and extended compass. In solo passages their execution is rather noticeable for vigor, “dash” and Drillianey than for extraordinary finish; but its “effect” is undeniable. On the other hand, in passages where the voices are combined, they blend delightfully together, and a precision , light and shade and variety of expression are obtained approaching very nearly the perfection of art.

Aupawy, Jan. 25,1862. ‘The debate on the tax resolution in the Assembly last evening failed te furnish any light upon the great ques- tion under consitieration. Aside from the bread asser- tons that their constituents would willingly pay their quota of a direct tax, nearly all the speakers never fur- Rished @ single idea upon the great question under dis- cussion. It exhibited the laziness and lack of application of our public men to the study of the great question of the hour, We had, im other words, a set of buncombe speeches, pre- pared for the dear people, the detivery of which, upon Such an occasion, should seai the political fate of every member that indulged in that style. When Mr. Hulburd yesterday morning spent one hour and « half discussing the different modes of government finances, their appli. cation to our present existing stato of affairs, and proved conclusively that the only mode that would secure to the government the financial aid necessary; when, with statesman-like ability, he raised himself above the bun- combe and flourish resorted to by the demagogues of the House, drawing a parallel between the position of this State and that of others, during the financial disorders of the past, and the Empire State was enabled to safely weather the storm, on account of its having adopted the sound financial policy of Clinton and the statesmen of that day; when he pierced the puper balloon with which Congress is attempting to delude and deceive the peo- ple and ruin the nation, and depicted, in unmistake- able colors, its utter folly and criminal fraud, and then laid before the Assembly facts and un- answerable arguments that taxation was necessary, ‘and, in fact, the only sound system of finance, declaring hia utter abhorrance of the shams and delusions of Con- gress, and all this without any allusion to the negro and the buncombe resorted to on the stump—we could see our way through the dark and perilous storm that is now ‘upon us—we made up our mind that the hour of deliver- ‘ance was at hand; that in the Logislature of the Empire State were statesmen who comprehended our condition— men who saw in the distance tho rocks, shoals, quick- sands and breakers upon which tho ship of state was rifting, and presented to its pilots a chart that would enable thom to steer clear of all these and safely weather the storm. Such wore the views of Mr. Hubiurd, as expressed in his mastorly speech, showing the necessity of taxation as the only mode that would furnish relief to the country; that a facing of relief pervaded all circles, hope lighted up the countenances of all, and it secmed as if the dark hour of the storm had passed and daylight was upon us. But when the evening sersion came, and Mr. Ogden, a Union democrat, took the floor, everybody supposed that he, at least, would sy as little about the the claptrap and humbug of the negro as Mr. Hulbird, ® republican. But, alas, how soon our hopes were blighted, and oh, what a fall from the position of the first speaker—a all from the statesman to that of a ward politician. Better things wero expected of 2 man of Mr, Ugden’s reputation. He commenced with a disquisition about the negro, the equality of race, and for a long time to pointed to the destruction of slavery as unevessity. In the middle of his speech ho came out flat footed on the platform of the President's Message, and talked fora short time upon the necessity of taxa- ticn and, made some very’sensible remarks, which, so- parated from the negro portions of the specch, may bo put down ae excellent; buthe socn found himself on the negro hobby again riding at full gallop, and ended his specch npon that topic evidently attracted by s me un- resistable power within the influence of the God of the abolitionists, ‘This speech broke the ice, and several gentlemen fol- lowed, giving their idvas of the causes of the war; but the arguments upon the question of a fluancial policy ere few and far between. What matters it whether slavery, tha sprouts of despotism, or something e'se caused (he rebellion ; its origin wus not the question un- der considerasicn—that is a question of the past, made a dead issue by the rapid progress of events in the last nine months, and he who attémpts to argue it now in- sults the mtetiigence of the people. The question is a sim- ple one. We a eengagos in a war for the suppression of the rebetlion and the restoration of the Union. The Treasury isempty. Whatsball be done to sapply tne becessiury means fur the accomplishment of the greatest and inosi noble object that ever a nation went to war for? What the negro has todo with that question we admit to’be beyond our comprehension, and we leave it for the political microscopic minds of the As- sembly orators to furnish the pubiic with the con- nection. Nearly all the speeches delivered during the evening session were of the highfalutin, spread eagle style, and were evidently prepare? by the speakers to bo tired off on the Governor's message; but that subject uot coming up, they were apparently afraid that they would Let keep any longer, and took that vccasion to retivve emseives, ine.dentally aluding to the si bect of tax- aticn.in order that it might not be said that they entirely ignored the subject um-ier discussion. We had a digest of traitors, denunciation of Boston aristocrats, the exgle and the raven on the top of Bunker's Hill monument, and the negro im all his component parts, aud only'a word now and then dropped on the Subject of fizance. In fact, the xprend eagle was roaring | ite taajesty, and Mr. Alvord was the first spesker the evening that had the good se: 82 to clip bis wings aud let him down. He came to the resolutions and Ue amendments offered, Now what does all this buncombe claptrap show? Simply that tho men who ha: ed te be our rulers are not practical. ‘Their cnty study has been that necessary for stump speakiig; they have studied ail the oratorial flourishes Recersary to carry the crowd, ind have nover looked into the practice! question of our government; they are men of words, words, and not ideas, ‘The regult is, whan & question comes up for discussion involving the very existence of our government they are unable to Land it, but, with a great desire to show themselves, they at once start off with a havangue in regard to slavery, as if the negro was the balin of Gilead, the cure for all national ills, whether political, mititary or financial.

The Union mem- bors desired a change in the sentiments of the managing Board, and made arrangements to run a thoroughly Union ticket, ‘The secessionists played a deep gane, by nomi- nating a ticket on which were the names of seve- ral Union men, but with a majority against the latter, Thy then, through their mouthpiece, the Republican, talked loudly «boat the wrong of introducing “potitics”” into the management of the association, and persuaded quite a number of weak kneed Union men to agrce with them, The Union men on the tickot of course did not work against it, and their influence and aid, com- bined with that of the eeceshers, told heavily sgainst the unconditioual Union ticket.
