NEWS PROM TUR UPFWR VALLEY, The latet news from the upper vajley't to the effect " that ecrly all of Rossor's, arly’s, Wickham’s and Lomax’s troops have retired ¢0 the victity of Lynch- ‘ burg, leaving only small detachments ‘to harass Union * troops that may come within their districts. IMPORTANCE PLACKD UPON ‘LYNCHBURG. Lynchburg is being strengthened by the addition of mew fortifications; provisions are ‘being accumulated there, and there is every indication vimble that General *-Lae has his eye on that city as one of the points to which he will retreat, provided he is driven from the rebel » citadel—Richmond. SUPPLYING THE DBSTITUTR, The Shenandoah Relief Association has sent into this dopartment large quantity of food for distribution mong the destitute women and children of the valley. The first distribution of this timely bounty will take place on the 10th inst., at Newtown, eight miles from here, under the direction of Captain Griest, Commissary of Subsistence. During the winter General Sheridan caused to be given away large quantities of supplies to the destitute people of the valley, some of the recipients coming a distance of thir'y or forty miles. The people of the valley are still as dependent as ever, as they find themselves at present with scarcely enough to meet their daily wants, MASONIC BALL. A grand Masonic ball was given here last night at the Taylor House, under the auspices of Brigadier General Fessenden, commander of the post, who was chairman of the Ball Committee, and is a member of the craft. Drs. Wagner and Hubbard, two prominent Masons of New York State, were aiso on the committee. Hiram Lodge, No. 21, of Winchester, was weil represented on the oc- casion. It is a matter worthy of record here that the charter of the above named lodge is over one hundred y ars old, During the Revolutionary war Washington frequ:ntly ‘worked’? with the craft of this lodge. ‘The bal i grand affair.

The Sanitary and Christian commissions also deserve a word of praise for the manner in which they have filled their appropriats spheres. ‘The latter especially deserves Rotice. Though less pretentious in its operations, and not carried on in so large a scale as the for- yet what it does is done thoroughly and During the winter the Christian agent at this point, Rev. Mr. Bruckill, with hisassistants, have labored unceasingly in our hospitals, in camp and in the army chapels, imparting such advice and instruction to our soldiers as would tend to their moral and spiritual welfare. These efforts have not been without good results, as they are manifest in the interest our soldiers takes inthe religious services at stated times and in the appropriate places. The Christian Commis. sion in the early part of the winter put up large chapel tents, capable of holding three hundred persons at a time, at Summit Point, Stevenson's depot, and this place, in which religious services have been and still con- tinue tobe held. These meetings have been presided over by delegates of the Commission, and. conducted with the propriety of any of our city cliurches. In addi- tion to this two or three tons of religious and secular literature have been given away. REGISTRATION OF DEATHS, Senator Shaffer's bill provides that it shall be the duty of the assessors in every town, ward and city in this State, at the time of taking their annual assessment, to asc riain by diligent inquiry of every family in his district whether any death has occurred in the family dur ng the preceding year, ending Slst December, the nature of the disease, and ‘the age, sex and color of the deceased. person, and record the same in a book provided for that purpose.

Before the war "General Mulford was largely interested in grain and lum- ber business in the westers.partof this State.

After McClellan’s retreat from the peninsula, the Third regiment was ordered to garrison Fortress Monroe, APPOINTED FLAG OF TRUCE OFFICER. ‘The cartel tor the exch of ners, upom between Major Generals John Wool, United States Army, and Howell Cobb, Confederate States Army, in 1861, was then (fall of 1862) operating but poorly ‘and Major General John A. Dix, commanding the partment of Virginia, drew up and substituted another cartel, on & more comprehensive scale, which the enemy adopted. [The details of this important document appeared in full in these columns at the time mentioned. Lieutenant Colonel! William H. Ludlow, inspector gene of the department, was appointed Commissioner of Ex- change, and, needing an assistant, applied to Gen. Di who assigned him Capt. Mulford. "It will be remem that the exchange of pri-ouers at that time worked re- markably well, and not tue slightest impediment occurred to mar the harmony between the respective commission- ers. When Major General John G. Foster relieved Gen, Dix in the command of the Department of Virginia, Brigadior General 8. A. Meredith, # political general from Pennsylvania, succeeded Col, Ludlow, and, being of a morose disposition, soon brought the’ exchange system into acomplete muddle. Capt. Mulford was retained as the Agent of Exchange, and, notwithstanding his great popularity North and South, he was not allowed to de- viate from the assumed position of Gen. Meredith. ‘The Published letters of this general to Robert Ould, rebel commiss.oner, were full of swaggering braggadocia, and uncalled for insults. Capt. Mulford was too good a soldi: not to carry out his orders, but felt the degrading position he was placed in thereby. In the beg nning of November, 11 Major General Butler relioved General Foster, and shortly after General Meredith, who, in the opinion of General Butler was too fond of his dolce ne farnie and by appointment of the President assumed’ the position of Chicf Commis- sioner of Exchange, superseding General Hitchcock, who had nominally held that apoainsaeat. Captain Muiford was continued as Agent of Exchange, and subsequently the Third Regiment New York Volunteers had been sent to South Carolina, and by the expiration of the time of Lieutenant Colonel Hubbel, Captain Mulford, as senior captain of the regiment, was appointed a Colonel Alford soon after resigned and Lieutenant Colo- nel Floyd was made colonel and Major Mulford leuten- ant colonel, At the terrble battles of the 16th and 1th of Sune, Colonel Floyd. was ae, wounded and a leg, anid towards tho close of the past year 1. which further promoted Lieutenant el Mullord tos fuli colonelcy. . EXCHANGING PRISONERS AT SAVANNAH. This episode in the history of this uncalled for and un- holy rebellion, is too freah in the minds of our readers to need a lengthy reference; but as it forms a leading in- cident in the history of Colonel Mulford, we briefly ad- vert to it. Colonel Mulford perfect the necoseary arrangements with Robert Ould, on the James river, for an oxchange of three thousand Union prisoners at Sa- vannah. A fixe fect of twenty-four transports was placed at the disposal of Colonel Mulford, and before he closed negotiations with the rebel authorities, he had secur:d the release, and sent North upwards of twelve thousand of our languishing prisoners, Their suffering while in captivity and joy of the treatment received at the hands of Col. Mulford is also well known and was duly chronicléd by our correspondents accompanying Col. Mulford’s expedition of mercy. UNDER A NEW CHIEF AND BHEVETTED BRIGADIER GENERAL. The relieving of Gen. Butler from command necessi- tated the appointment of a new Commissioner of Ex- change, especially one who was not so obnoxious to the enemy’ ag Gen. Butler, and one who would handle the question of exchanging negro soldiers more dispassionate- ly than Gen. Butler. The President conferred all these powers upon Lieutenant General Grant, and this able chief- tain very wisely not only continued the services of Col. Mulford, but, appreciating his great executive abilities and past services, invest d him with additional authority, and the rap.d and satisfactory exchanges now going on demonstrate how well the confidence of the General-in- Chief is bestowed. Asareward for the meritorious conduct of Colonel Mulford, he has at last received the Justice due him long ago, by the deserved promotion of brevet brigadier general, at which ‘mark of reward the entire country, North and South, will gladly rejoice. HIS APPEARANCE. General John Elmer Mulford is aman about five fect seven inchee in height, well made, but rather spare. His face, covered with a well trimmed beard and moustache, is regular in feature, the nose rather prominent, eyes sharp aad expressive of firmness and determination. ‘Although constantly beaming with gentleness and good humor, they are terrible and flashing when in anger. The mouth is well curved and closely set. He is .con- stantly at work, and neither thinks of rest or refresh. ment when engaged in his duties, The writer of this has known Gen. Mulford to sit up all night laboring at his desk, answering the thouvands of letters addrossed to him from all parte of the cowntry, in relation to the exchange of prisoners. In his business he is very prompt. Every letter is answered either,by himself or clerks. His popularity among all classes is immense. The returned prisoners idolize bim, and would go through fire and water to serve their eaviour, as he.isdrmed. His private puree is.con- stantly open’ for the impover'shed peisuners who daily oes throagh his hands, end bave partaken of (is unstinted bounty. This is the character of the man whe has been before the country in so prominent a capacity for nearly three years, and has bad his servsces appreciated thoroughly by a grateful country.

THE STEAMER SUAWMOT. The United States steamer Shawmut, which left Wil- mington, N. C., on the morning of the 28th ult., with the United States steamer Seneca in tow, the latter suffering from a leaky boiler, arrived at Fortress Moros on the evening of the 3d inst., bound for the James river squadron, This vessel, although not Jong in commission, has earned a well deserved reputation while attached to the fleet of Admiral Porter before Wilmington, and was the firet wooden gunboat to ascend the Capo Fearsiver and open fire on Fort Anderson, While stationed at that place she has upon almost every occasion been’ foremost in the conflict, and during the last bombardmen't of the | obove mentioned fort was highly complimented by’ Fleet Captain Breese as doing the best firing of theday, The following te a correct list of her officers :— Lieutenant Commander—Jobn G, Walker.

It might, and doubtless did, happen in many districts, that one well defined portion of a district—as a county, township or ward—had furnished greatly more than the mumber due therefrom, whilst other parts of the ‘same district, equally well defined, had furnished few or none, thereby making a draft upon the district nece-sary ; and yet, under the act, it was not in the power of the President to make the draft otherwise than equal over the whole district. This was unjust and oppressive. In order to correct this fagrant hardship and injustice, Con- gress, by the second section of the act of 24th February, 1864, and which is in amendment of the act of 3d Marc 1 declared ‘that the quota of each ward of where the county a city, town, township, district’ or of a county, is not divided into wards, towns, townships, precincts, or election districts, shall be, as nearly as pos- siblo, in proportion to the number of men resident there- in duple son TORT perros, feking pe. account, as far as pract le, the number wi been previously furnished therefrom. peri - It is carnestly insisted, and _m ngenios argu that this section of the amended act ‘4 el much of the twelfth section of the act of the 3d 1863, as makes it the duty of President consideration the period.of service of the volunteers and militia from the several States, The argument in fayor of the repeal rests wholly upon the words of the F datory act—‘‘the number which hag been furnished therefrom.’’ precinct. or ‘The act of the 8d of had a mode antes Senge tot ah ea prea ee and the districts of the several States, should be ascer- tained; and that mode required, not a simple count,jbut a consideration of the period of service of men furnished. Congress used the word number tn the second section of the amendat weaning that the Wlhare are many evi upon the face of the amend- idences atory act which show that it was not the intention of ov! ck. change the mode of count prescribed tn the act. ‘he amended act does not undertake to gay how the quota of a State or district is to be ascertained. taining what number is due from a State or district, President must pursue the mode prescribed in thetwelfth section of the original act—he must take into consi- deration the period of service; and yet, under the construction insisted upon, when he comes to equalize the draft, as authorized to do by the amended act, in the districts, he must be controlled by simple numbers, It cannot be that Congress intended one mode of count for the States and districts, and a different and wholly ncon- sistent one for the subdivisions of districts. Inextrica- bie confusion would result. From the lan; e used in various parts of the amen- datory act, it is evident that Congress did not intend to disturb the mode of count prescribed in the original act. For instance, in the eighth section of the ‘amendato act, it is said that the town, ward or township ve credited by his services; and in the seventh section, ‘ the period for whch he shall have been enlist and ‘‘the period for which he shall have beon drafted,” all to show that time of service was held to be an element in the count. Nor do I think that the a In favor of the repeal is.aided by the language of the first section of the act en- ae “An maf further to regulate and Jrorite ae ing out national re approv july The act says that “any such volunteer, or in case of di ag hereinafter provided, any substitute, shall be credit vo the town,” &c. Congress meant that the credit should be given according tothe mode of count ; rescribed in the act of March 3, 1863. The whole purpose of the second section of the amenda- tory act was to enable the President to equalize the draft in the several districts; surely not to have one mode of count in ascertaining the quotas of the several States and districts, and another mode for equalizing the districts, Besides, it is hardly to be considered that Congress would thus incidentally strike from so important a statute a feature so prominent and equitable. Tam, therefore, of opinion that the modo of ascer- taining and assigning to States and districts their re- live quotas, as prescribed in the twelfth section of the act of the $d of July, 1863, is not repealed, and that the same mode must bs purvued in equalizing the draft among the subdivisions ot each district, Next comes the question, What is the mode of count a in the twelfth section of the act of 8d March, nes It is very pla'n that Congress regarded that a consider. ation of the period of service would change the rule from a merely numerical one. Some credit was to be iven for the period of service as well as for the man. ngress has fixed varioug periods of service, and States and districts, and fractions of districts, had’ furnished men for those periods of service. N_w, how is the credit to be given? Before proceeding to answer the question it may be proper to state that it is insisted that the words “period of time” and “time of service,” as used in the twelfth section of the act of March 8, 1863, meau something dif- ferent from term of service. It seoms to me that the phrases mean one and the same thing. When the word storm is used in reference to time it ix, according to the 1 xicographers, very nearly the synonym of period. The difference betwixt them, if any, is too uncertain and shadowy to believe that Congress meant by the use of one something different from what is under stood by the other. But the words period and term both oceur in after parts of the acts now under consideration. In the eighteenth section of the act ef 1863 the term of service is spoken of, and the term of re-enlistm: while in the seventh section of the amended act it is the period for which he shall haveen listed, and the period for which be shall have been drafted. Thus tt will be perceived that upon the very face of these acts Congress used these words as meaning the same thing. It happens too in the act that neither wort may be eeat ine the = idea intended, as in the section o amended act, where the ‘s MOAN be eredived by his sericea’ er Megarding, then, “period of service” and “term of service” as meaning the same thing, any argument pre dicated upon @ ditlerence must be disregarded. And thua ere are brought back to the question how ta the credit to be given? Must the credit be for the time of actual service, or the period of enlistment? Tthimk that Congress intended by the arords “period of service” to give credit for the time of hia enlistment, When a man enlists in the service of the government for ene, two or three — his services are due to the gov- eroment for that period, and during that period his ser: vices are withdrawn from the industrial pursuite of life, ‘The act speaks as though there was a certain and fixed period for the services of cach man, and yet, if any riod of time ia taken, otber than the term of énlsetnn by somo system of averages or guesses, a rule must be nt To do so would violate the certainty contemplated ry the act. Lam, therefore, of the opinion that the President mont, under the act, give credit by the whole period or term for which the man enltsted Whether this is the rule which should have been adopted by Con) whether it does not operate un- equally, and whether it is exactly just or not, are ques tions #1 ‘annot now be considered.

Sr. Parnicn’s Day—Taw Processiong np ANNUAL Banquers.-The annual parade of the Irish civic and military societies in honor of St. Patrick will take place next Friday, and will be the largest of the kind probably that has ever taken place in New York. About thitty- three societies will participate, with their neat banners, flags, regalia and appropriate inscriptions. The proces- sion will be under the command of Grand Marshal John Tucker, assisted by several special aids, The Sixty-ninth and Ninety-ninth regiments, under Colonel Bagley and Colonel O’Mabony, will head the procession, and the line of march will be down East Broadway and Chatham street to the east gate of the Park, where the procestion will in review before the Mayor and Common Coun- cil; thence up Broadway to Fourteenth street, Fourteenth street to Seventh avenue, feventh avenue to Thirty- fourth street, Thirty-fourth street to Second avenue, down Second avenue to Twenty-third street, Twenty- third street to First avenue, First avenue to Eighth street, Eighth street to Cooper Institute, and there dismiss, The night celebration will consist of balls, suppers, reunions and grand ets by the two leading Irish national associations—the Kuighis of St. Patrick and the Friendly Sons. The banquet of the former will take place at the Metropolitan Hotel, at seven o'clock precisely, and the latter at Delmonico’s, Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street. Mr. W. R. Roberts will preside at the Knights’ dinner, and Mr. Richard Bell at the Friendly Sons’. The festivities will be of that hearty character for which the Celtic race is distinguished all over the world. The President of the Knights will have the honor to wear (for the first time) a splendid new gold badge, which is to be the distinguishing mark of that officer at all future banquets. ‘The tickets for both dinners are nearly all sold; but the few that remain can be bought by respectable parties, on application to the Officer® of the societies, or at the places named in the advertisements, Sr. Srevruan’e Roman Catnouic Caurci—A Grand Backep Coxcent.—A few weeks ago Dr. Cummings, pastor of St. Stephen's Roman Catholic church, in Twenty-cighth street, announced that he was about to enlarge the size of that elegant structure to more than double its present dimensions.

Dr. inmings seems determined to hurry up the work with all the energy and rapidity consistent with the charactr of the undertaking. He has succeeded wondertully in making collections for the object froin Protestants as well ‘ax Catholics, and in some cases has received from people of other persuasions thousand doliar subscriptions, Next Sunday evening the entire opera troupe of the Academy af Music will give a grand sacred concert for the benetit ef the undertaking, and there is no doybt but that handsome eum will be realized, The tickets wilh be one dollar cach, and the programme will embrace the finest selections of sacred music ever performed in this city. The concer ¢ will take place in the church. Mangatras Squanr.—About # year and a half agoe strong avd praper influence was weed to get Manhattan equare—a loathaome quagmire, with here and there pro- Jecting mountains of rock—transforred to the care of the Park Commissioners, under the general impression that it would be immediately graded and freed from the noxious filth and rubbiah which defaced its general ap- ince and caused so much disease in the ne ghbor- ood. Strange to gay, nothing has been done by the Comunissioners to change the offensive ‘character of this odious locality.

Defence and Cultivation of Cot- ton Plantations. DELAY OF MAILS FROM THE NORTH, &e., &., de. Our New Orleans Despatch. _ New Ovxaxs, La., Fob. 28, 1865. SESTRUCTION OF THE GUNBOAT ARIZONA BY FIRB. ‘The news of the destruction by fire of the gunboat Arizona, reached the naval headquarters about noon to- day. She accidentally took fire last night about twelve o'clock, and burned to the water's edge. No further particulars of the disaster had been received up to the time of the closing of the mail, although there is a rumor in town that the fire reached her magazine, which ex- ploded, killing four men. LAASED PLANTATIONS TO BB DEFENDED BY STOCKADRS. ‘The following ig an extract from Major General Dana’s order relative to leased plantations :— * ‘Owners or lessces of plantations under the authority of a. ed sears Sel, eae eau “construct stockades or such r temporary defence De necessary to secure the'r labor-rs, stock and other P from the jer of being carried off or de-- stroyed by small raiding of th» enemy ;” and lesgeo who shall disregard or neglect this regulation, will suffer the withdrawal of the approval from his lease, and the forfeiture of hie privileges, besides such further penalty as the case may render proper. ABANDONED PLANTATIONS TO LEASE. ‘The Treasury agent at Natchez, under date of the 234 inst., advertises the following abandoned plantations to Jease for the present year:— “Brandon,” containing fifteen hundred acres under cultivation. “Lochdale and Lockhaven,” containing about eight acres. *? containing about eight hundred acres. | “Le “ »7’oontaining ix hundred acres of land. “Astonwich,” containing one thousand two hundred acres of . It is not necessary to go to Natchez, nor in the State of Mississippi, to find scores of plantations ‘going a beg- ging” for some person to take charge of and work them. Ido not refer to ‘‘abandon>d plantations” either; but to those which are well stocked, and on which are a suf- ficiency of working hands. Nearly every person who “worked a plantation” last year was ruined, and few care to venture their capital this year. Nine out of ten Delieve that it isa losing business, On account of the late heavy rains a large number of those who have plantations are unable to plant, and I fear that from these facts the working of the plantations along the Mis- eissippi this year will, like the last, prove a failure. Free labor, guerillas, bad weather and worms are not conducive to the raising of cotton and sugar, and he who leases a plantation with the certain prospect of one or more of these drawbacks is either a brave man or has nothing to lose by the operation, | RESIGNATION OF GOVERNOR HAHN. Yesterday Governor Michael Hahn resigned his office as Governor of the State of Louisiana, to take effect on the 3d of March next. His term as United States Senator commences the day after his resignation. ‘THE MAILS FROM THE NORTH, Twenty-four days have passed since we have hada mail from the North. The practice heretofore has been to send the mails by sea, and sometimes they have re- mained in the New York Post Office from one to three weeks. This is wrong. A mail sent from New York to Cairo daily would ensure us three or four mails in New Orleans per week, As it is, the last dates are to the 4th-| inst,, and we have no news of any steamer having left official or otherwise, has been received from ei ington or New Yotk since February 4. I have re- quested to mention these facts to the Heraxp by several of our leading business men, in the hopes that the wrong will be righted. MARDI GRAS. To-day is Mardi Gras, the last day of the Carnival. “Masks and faces’’ can be seen in New Orleans by the hundred. To-night we are to havea grand masked ball atthe St. Charles theatre. bane tee fpeiterasts~ | Moors, Mexicans, a} bears and donkeys are promenad- ing the atreet, or riding “around on horseback or in car- riages.

I amj writing two carriages are ing e Bt Charles Hotel, filled with ladies dressed as gentlemen in the height of fashion, with stand-up collars and heavy gold watch chains, ‘Thetr hair is “frizzed,” their lips and cheeks are painted red, while their faces are pow- dered. They look like very handsome young men, wear = and occasionaily stop at @ saloon to ‘take a drink.” They are followed by three or four warrior appearing knights, with evaded ‘and shield, and mounted on high mettled horses. These worthies are most ridiculously masked. A hundred yards further on is a wagon filled with negro minstrels, playing the bones and banjo, their faces blackened and their persons arrayed in colored calico dresses. This party is followed by three or four strapping fellows masked and dressed to resemble the “opposite sex.”” They are on horseback and their long fancy dresses nearly touch the ground. Occasionally there is a procession of from thirty to forty of the masks, headed by a brass band or drum and fife; but I must close the subject or I will weary your readers, PERSONAL, Major Generals Canby and Steele recently paid a visit to Genera! Granger, at Mobile Bay. Major General A. J. Smith is in New Orleans. Major General C. ©. Washburne has been ordered to Tesume command of Vicksburg. The draft has been postponed until Thursday.
