A Review. Military Institutions-- By Duke of Reguna. Trans from the Paris edition (1859) and by biographical historical and military notes. With a new version of celebrated part I. of Treatise on Grand Military Operations. By Frank Colonel 92d Regiment of Mississippi infantry. Columbia S. C. Evans Copewell, 1864. A bock of this character, setting forth the general them of the art military, suggesting the best methods of organising, forming maintaining armies, describing the various operations of war, and discussing its principles and practice with the calmness and sobriety of the philosopher, has long in the Confederacy — That this work fully answers the desired purpose we know too little of military matters to affirm. Yet he must be a poor soldier, indeed, who does not see, upon even a slight persual, that it abounds in practical suggestions, of great value to all classes of military men.

Columbia, South Carolina, September 1; 1864. To the Editor of the Richmond Dispatch: Sir: In the editorial of your issue of the 19th ultimo, which has just come under my notice, you have represented Mr. Juhan Allen--recruiting for the Federal army in "Holland, Belgium and the rest of Europe,"--to be a Pole. Allow me to correct this mistake. The Mr. Allen you refer to is a Hungarian. He was colonel in the Hungarian army; came to the United States in 1859 with Kossuth as a member of his suite; and since then remained, and lived, in New York. As to his name, "Allen," (upon which you comment that it has "an unusually small stock of consonants for one of his race,") it shows him to be a Hungarian of the Magyar race, or a descendant of those Huns who, in the ninth century, invaded and conquered a part of the ancient Stavonia and established the modern Hungarian kingdom. "Allen" means in the Magyar language what "hurrah" means in the English, or the "yell." of the Confeder

ceed the sum of $3,000,000. On this there was an insurance of $224,000, held altogether in Southern companies. Add to the above amount the loss of the warehouse buildings and that used as a factory by the Gary brothers, also owned by Gilmour & Co., and the loss will be increased to upwards of two hundred thousand dollars more. Upon the buildings was a nominal insurance. The senior partner of the concern, Mr. John Gilmour, left this country for Scotland (of which he is a native) in the year 1859, where he has resided over since. During his absence the business of the firm has been attended to by a young man bearing the same name, who is a relative. The Messrs. Gary, the proprietors of the tobacco factory in which the fire was first discovered, lost upwards of one hundred thousand dollars' worth of tobacco, (a large portion of which was manufactured,) tobacco presses, screws, frames, &c., on which they had an insurance of $25,000. About $50,000 will probably cover the whol

uence of its extreme value. Prices have already touched the highest rates ever known. To be sure, some New Orleans middling cotton sold at Liverpool during the last war with the American States, in 1814, at 39d. but that quotation was in paper money, when gold was at a premium of thirty per cent. In ordinary times there is always two years stock of cotton goods in the hands of all classes. When Fort Sumter fell there were, owing to the excessive productions of the Southern States of 1858, 1859 and 1860, which met a fictitious consumption by the erection of too much mill power, three years requirements. It is, therefore, easy to perceive how the raiment famine has been postponed. A point, however, will yet be arrived at when it will be necessary to call upon the South for her accustomed supplies. The second season after peace the South will be able to export between 6,000,000 and 7,000,00 bales of cotton, and perhaps more. She can readily turn a greater portion of her labor on t

Judge Lyons's Court. --This court met yesterday at half-past 10 o'clock A. M. In the matter of the habeas corpus of B. S. Robbosson, who claimed exemption from military duty on the ground that he was a Marylander, the petitioner was remanded to the military authorities, it appearing that he had resided in the State since 1859. Williamson Inge, brought in on a writ of habeas corpus, was also remanded to the reserve forces. The Grand Jury indicted the following parties for felony: William Bohannon, Joseph E. Henry, John Francis, Madison Smith, James W. Harris, Abby G. Hoeflich, Henry Reese, Joseph Kiser, John Albert and William L. Carroll. The court then adjourned.

e seat of government to Philadelphia, and, to prevent this, several wealthy land-owners erected the building now known as the Old Capitol, which Congress leased by act of December 8, 1815. The Sixteenth Congress, which met on the 6th of December, 1819, re-occupied the wings of the Capitol, which had risen, phœnix-like, from their ashes. The central building, containing the rotundo, was not completed until about 1825 or '26. The Thirty-sixth Congress removed, early in the session of 1859-'60, into the newly-built extensions in which to-day will witness, at noon, "the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled." It will be the first session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and its proceedings will doubtless eclipse in importance those of any Congress which has preceded it. Completion of the Capitol. Much has been done towards the completion of the Capitol since Congress adjourned. The exterior of the dome towers unto the hei

n the District Court, by pardoning the acts by which alone, if at all, that forfeiture was incurred. The cause originated in an information filed in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District thereof, and one Charles Gould, named as the informer, under the acts of Congress of 1861 and 1862, commonly known as the confiscation acts, for the confiscation and forfeiture of seventeen hundred and fifty-six shares of the capital stock of the Great Western Railroad Company, of 1859, and of upwards of fifty thousand dollars due on coupons of bonds of the same corporation, as the property of the defendant, on the two-fold ground alleged in the information--first, of alleged use of property by Mr. Wiley in aid of the rebellion, under the act of 1861, and second, of alleged treasonable acts of Mr. Wiley, under the act of 1862. The motion to dismiss this cause was announced by Mr. Laroque in its support. It is understood that the constitutionality of the act of Congres

Hanging of William Cerbitt and Patrick Fleming for murder. Chicago, December 15. --To-day, for the first time in Illinois since 1859 the death penalty was suffered by two men for murder. The unfortunate culprits, named William Corbitt and Patrick Fleming, were convicted on Tuesday, November 31, of murdering Patrick Malony Cicero, about six miles west of Chicago. It was a cold-blooded affair, as they had no personal enmity towards their victim, but did it for a paltry fifty dollars given them by a man named Williams, who, for some years past, had cherished a bitter animosity against Maloney. The two men were thoroughly prepared for their coming doom by their spiritual directors, Dr. McMullen and Father Murphy, aided by the Good Sisters of Charity, and no one would have thought, by their calmness, that they were so soon to have been sent before their Maker. At twenty-five minutes before three the doomed men were led forth from their cells to the scaffold, and after a f

developing these immense resources, which will be of incalculable advantage to the section of country in which they are found, (which, for prudential reasons, is not more particularly referred to.) "It is singular that the immense mineral treasures of this region, far surpassing the wildest dreams of hidden and fabulous treasures of the dreamy, imaginative Orientalist, should be directly under the noses of the inhabitants, and remain undiscovered or unnoticed until this time." [In 1859 or '60, we were on Dunkard creek and throughout the neighborhood. We stayed one night at the house of "Squire" S. A. Hibbs, who lives some few miles from the creek. Mr. Hibbs told us that the old inhabitants had handed down a tradition that, in that neighborhood, there was a lead mine, from which the Indians, during the border wars, had always been able to supply themselves plentifully with that useful article. He added, that the mine had been searched for again and again by many people wh

g criminal; asserted that his case had outraged all law, and gave it as his opinion that Ireland would never be free without fighting. His bearing was insolent, and when he remarked upon the court his language was offensive and saucy. On the 13th, after about an hour's absence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all the counts against O'Donovan Rossa. The Attorney-General called the attention of the Court to the fact that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to a similar indictment in 1859. In reply to the usual question, if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, the prisoner said he expected no other result, as the Crown had reserved documents necessary for his defence, packed the jury and the bench. Justice Keogh said he would not allow such observations. The Prisoner--"You may do your best." At 3 o'clock the Judges retired to consider the sentence. The prisoner was sentenced by Justice Keogh to penal servitude for life. What
