You have heard the story that Gen. McClc1~
Ian threatened to resign lis position as Com
nlandcr-in-Clicf Of the forces Of the United
States, if Secretary Camcron's report as first
written was not modified. This report has
been going the rounds u for several days, and
Thaddens Stevens revived it Oh Tuesday night
in Caucus. Bnt Gen. Mcclellan, I am informed,
denies the whole story from be ginning to end.
Certainly, if the commander Of our armies,
purely a military man, we're to utter such i
threat as that, he ought to be kicked instantly
from the service. A man like Gen. Mcclellan
might, If he saw it, tender his resignation af-
ter the President or Secretary Of War had
issued an order which he felt that he could not
obey without violating his principles, but no
tue tr = soldier or gentleman, could be guilty Of
superior. As for McClell;n's position on the
slavery question, it is enough 10 say that he
was warm supporter Of Douglas. He was
never anti-slayery in his views, nor is he now
except in reference to the war, He will not
look at the emancipation question at all in the
light Of humanity, but purely in military
point Of view, If he can Thip the rebels
easier by overthrowing slavery, aud if it can
be constitutionally done, Gen. Mcclellan will
not hesitate q moment.-sSprin4feld {lfass.

A Regiment Of Cossack Lancers.

a regiment OF C0@8ack Lancer8t
The regiment Of Col. Richard Rush 18th
PennsylVania) has been equipped Us Cossaek
lancers, 100 strong, and are Just now on the
way from Philadelphia to the Potomac. The
men are all large-sized, carefully picked from
among the host Of ofapplicants, and their horses
are said to be the best Of any yet brought into
the service. Their lances are simply rods Of
stout wood, some ten feet long, pointed with
spear-head, and bearing q red flag, on which
is emb1azoned the letter Of the company. Be-
sides these, the men are armed with the sabre
and pistol The Philadelphia Bulletin says:
In modern history the lance has been most
Formidable in the hands Of the Russian Cos
sacks. These wild horsemen are armed much
as the horsefoen Of Colonel Rushs regiment
were armed during their parade, yesterday, to
Wit: with lance, ten or twelve feet in length,
sabre and pistol. They break into squads,
move In companies, or dash off singly, accord
ing to circumstances, in attacking an enemy
They are principally useful in haraEsing an
scattering detached parties Of troops, and in
dispensing retreating foe, In this species Of
Warfare, much, of course, depends upon the
speed OF the horse, the proWess Of tile rider,
and the skill Of the latter in handling his beast
and his weapon.
liz S0s5AEh AluccIS Iau pEupdukG Us large
q share in the ruin Of the army of Napoleon
in Russia rs any other cause. While the Rus
sian army was in steady retreat before the ad-
rancing French, up to the time Of the great
catastrophe at Moscow, the Cossacks hoTercd
upon their TANKS and harassed them greatly.
When the disastrous retreat from the blazing
capital finally took place, the Cossacks became
an absolute terror to the fugitives. They al
lowed no rest to the scattered 1egions Of
France, and the few soldiers of the Empire
who did not full victims to the cold or the
ders Of Russia at the point Of the uch-dread-
cd lance. It remains to be seen whether the
same weapon in the hands Of Pennsylvania
soldiers will be as effective Us it was in the
grasp Of tho wild Cossacks Of Russia fifty
years ago. Col. Rusl's command is composed
Of the right sort Of material to insure eff
cheney.

The New CoEEreve Rockets.


VIC have already referred to Major Barry'6
Rocket Battalion, now at Washington, enlisted
in New York State. The following is inter-
esting as describing their remarkable arma-
mcnt more in detail, constituting it one Of the
most formidable engines Of war.
Each battery comprises four rocket guns
and four cadssons- The guns arc Of very Pc
culiar construction, formed in sections which
may be detached or united with the greatest
case. Each section consists OF two rings or
collars, to which are attached the ends OF iron
bars, spirallJ twisted, and the whole forming
tube. Three Of these tubes united comprise
the gun. No carriage is used, but in its place
q stand, on which the gun may be elevated or
depressed. This stand is Light and portable :;
easily carried by ono man. The gun is breech-
loading, and no Charge need be used except
that contained in the missile itself
The rocket is Of q very complex construction,
made in long tubes. The largest arc thirty
two inches in length. There arc many sizes
three OF four chambers or compartments Tic
postcrior chamber contains the powder which
acts as the propelling agent. The others con-
tain the explosive mixture, and j fuse is SO ar
rangcd as to keep up the rotary motion COM
municatcd by the spiral barrel, and at the
jcctie. The rocket may be used as a fre-ball
percussion shot, or bomb shell.
The rangc Of the rocket Is from FIVE hundred
yards to tiyc thousand three hundred yards
according to size and power. The smallest
rocket Weighs ten pounds, and the largest tire
pound rocket 4 mark no larger than the masi
Of 4 ship may be hit three times out Of four, n
distance Of three thousand yards. The firing
can be very rapidly performed. There is mucf
facility in loading, the rocket being inserted

While this order was being read, johnson
stood with lis hat on, his head little inclined
to the Left, and his eyes fixed in steady raze
on the ground. Near the close OF the reading
one Of Lis spiritual attendants whispered some
1nng III his car. johnson had expressed de-
sire to say few final words before he should
leave tlis world to appear before his Maker. He
was, conducted close to the firing party, and,
III almost inaudible voice, spoke as follows:
BoFs-I ask forgiveness from Almighty God and
from my fellow men 1or what have done, did
not know what was doing. May God forgive me,
ard may the Almighty keep all Of you from such
sin.
He was then placed beside the coffin again.
The troops were witnessing the whole Of these
proceedings with the lntensest interest. The
Marshal and the ChapIains begun to prepare
the culprit for his death. He was too weak
Captain Boyd then bandaged lis eyes with a
white handkerchief a few minutes Of painful
suspense interyencd while the Catholic clergy
Hlen were having their final intcrviw with tic
unfortunate man. All being ready the b1ar-
shal waved his handkerchief as the signal and
the firing party discharged the yo1ley: John
son did not move, remaining in q sitting DOS
ture for several seconds. After the rifles were
discharged, be quiycrcd a little, and fell over
beside Lis coffin. He was still aliTc, however,
and the four reserves were called to complete
the work It was found that two Of the
firing party, Germans, had not discharged their
pieces, and they were Immediately put In irons,
johnson was shot several times in the heart by
tho first yollcy. Each Of the four shots fred
by the reserves took effect in his head, and he
died instantly. One penetrated his chin, an
other his left check, while two entered the
brain just above the left eyebrow He died at
precisely Il quarter to four o'clock.
The troops then 1narched round, and each
man looked on the bloody corpse of his late
comrade who had proved traitor to his coun-
try.
The universal sentiment was that he deserved
his fate, and the example will certainly prove
highly beneficial.

From the MiesonrI Democrat, Dec. 16th-]
John Hogan, late Postmaster Of this city,
was arrested on Saturday last, charged with
cmbczz1cnent during his term Of Office. The
order for his arrest was received some days
previous, but WAS not executed until all tic
books and papers relating to the office had
been secured. The amount Of the embczzle-
ment is not known, although it is reported at
from ten to thirty thousand dollars. His
books are said to be in very perpleyed con
dition. Mr. Hogan vas taken before o. 8,
Commissioner KTum, and held to bail in the
sum of ten thousand dollars. As Mr.. Hogan
has heretofore been regarded rs an honest man,
It Is but justice that he be allowed fair hear
Ing, before being condemned.

COY. FLOYD cdSrIxrHs

1t has been shown that ontrary to the as
sertion Of Gov. Floyd no practice of issuing
acceptances had ever prevailed in the War
Depar tment previous to its introduc ton by
himself: that he issued these acceptances in
discriminatory and without reference to in
stalments, or the arrival or departure of
trains, and without regard to money which
was due.
One wouid naturally expect to find that
Gov. Flovd, having been admonished by one
whose position and legal learning gave uthor-
ity to his advice, having confessed the Illegal
ity of his proceedings, and expressed n deter
mination to make no further acceptancps
would have proceeded thereafter with grea
caution and eircums ection, even if he did not
entirely discontinue his previous policy. 1t
appears, however, that supposng the note to
Mr. Benjamin. before referred to, to have been
written q year ago, there have been issued bv
to the amount of 50, ,163, ,0Go, viz In April, $40
900: in May, $3.50 900; June, $3.50, 900 July,
ts5, 900; august, S235 900 September 1926 900;
October, S2fO, ,000. To this amo INT must be
added the S19S 600 of unconditional acceptan-
ces, OF which there is no registry and the
grand total is as above stated.
Having had his error and its consequences
distinctly pointed out-haviDg expressed his
intention to ref ain III future from the com
mission of similar acts he still persists in his
former course, and actually issued an accept
ance for Si35 900 at a date so late the 18th
OF december, 1860. ,~-e
Whether this manifest con tempt of counsel
disobedience of law, and violation of q solemn
promise, can be reconciled with purity of pri-
vate motives, and f;tithfuness to public
trusts, is for the House to determine. 1t is
the opinion of your Committee that they can
not.

The st. Louis Mystery--An Extraordinary
Development.


We gave, q day or two ago the particuIarslof
the finding under n street bridge in St Louis
the dead body of young woman, who was
supposed to be Mrs. Ann Maria Durmea Il
well-to-do but dissipated German resident of
that city, and who was thought to haze come
to her death by violence. 1t has since appear
ed that Mrs. Durmea is still living, and that
the corpse was that of Mrs. Young, an aged
and highly respected lady, mother of John Nj
Young, Esq, u Justice of the Peace in that
city. The St. Louis Republican thus relates
the remarkable developments of the case
Esquire Young was walking on Fourth
street yesterday morning when he met DR.. +.
NJ. Cornyn, resident physician at the City
Hospital. After Il few moments convers;l-
tion on common place matters, the Justice re-
marked that he would like to go down to the
Hospital with the Doctor and witness the
post laortem examination abou: TO be held on
the body OF the woman, supposed to be Ann
Maria Durmea. DIR. Cornyn replied that he
should be glad to have him go and take din
ner with him, and then he could have an op-
portunity OF witnessing the post mortem ex-
animation. They dined together and short
time afterwards proceeded TO the dead house
OF the hospital AS the cloth was removed
from the face of the corpse, Esquire Young
turned pale, and started back speechless. The
corpse 1C0S that Of his 0iCn mother. Without
making any remark TO DIR. Cornyn, he went
ately to the house of eX-RecorCler Samuel IL
Young, corner of Nineteenth and Division
streets, where his mother had been accuston1-
ed 10 visit, and made inquiries respecting her
Mrs. Samuel IL. Young informed him that I
his mother came 10 their house on Wednesday
afternoon to make a call. She took tea with
the family at an early hour, and arose to go,
renarklng that she was going TO call on lady
acquaintance of hers, whom she had not seen
for several years before that morning. She
mentioned the name of the acquaintance, hut
Mrs. Samuel IL. Young cannot remember it.,
somewhere on Mullanphy street. Mr. j +.
Young, a son of ex-Eecorder. states that he
saw Mrs. Young leave their house, and watch
ed her till she got out of sight. She went in
the direction of Mulianphy street. That was
the last time she was seen by ex- Recorder
Young's family. Esquire Young went to the
Hospital again and took Mrs. Samuel l. .
Young along with him. She recognized the
corpse OF the dead woman as that of Justice
Young's mother. The grief of the son ia thus
beEoldlng ais mother cannot be described He
was deyotedly attached to her, and provided
for her every want. They lived together at
the corner of Twelfth street and Christy
avenue, and Mrs \ Dung frequently left home
to visit her friends, ex-Kecortier Young $
family, on Division street. As she sometimes
stayed day or two with her friends her son
was not alarmed at her absence The matter
now Is ensbrouded in mystery. st is supposed
that the deceased lady went TO the house OF
her friend, and stayed till quite q lat hour,
and then started for home; that she was way
laid on the road and murdered.

Trees.-Ju Judging from the number of holes
recently made in the Capitol Square by in
dustrions operatives from the Penitentiary
we shall have IL suliiciency of trees and shrub
berry, in that popular thoroughfare, during the
ensuing summer. The military complain that
their ''allotted sphere embracing the space
between the Governors mansion and Wash
Ihgtons s statuc) is too limited. / has been
sugges ted, that it would be Il popular move
TO clear oil all the trees North of the space
above alluded TO, whereby a commodious ''pa-
rade ground could be obtained. The present
policy leans towards trees. The military are.
however of the opinion, that they are not al
lowed enough space.
