The Second Vermont Regiment.

the Burlington Times has special Wash
ipgton dispatch stating that the Second Yer
mont Regiment is to join the Third Regiment,
at Camp Lyon, on this side of the Potomac,
immediately The cause of this is not sta ted,
bat it is doubtless owing to the feeling that ex
iSt' between Col. Whiting and the subordinate
commissioned officers Of the Regiment. Before
the advance of the Regiment into Virginia, and
even before it left Vermont, it had become evi-
dent that Col. Whiting, whatever other good
qualities he might be distinguished for, was
not eminent for his faculty to win the good will
of his command. 1t was no secret that tie
Colonel was not liked by he men, whether the
men were beloved by the Colonel or not. The
military discipline which seemed to be the Col
oners peculiar forte. whether in conformity to
Hardee and Scott or not, was not characterized
by its extreme humanity, as tie death-bed tes
timony Of young Stoddard sufficiently attests.
The Colonel, in short, has succeeded admirably
in only one thing, and that is in winning tho
cordial dislike of the great body of the men
under his command. Doubtless this is all
wrong in military point of view, and the
under officers and men in the Second Regiment
ought never to have intimated that Col. Viii
Hing was not the greatest man and the first mil
Eitary genius of his age. 1t is possible that the
Democratic spirit 1--WE don tspeak politically, }
Din the Regiment isn't yet sufficiently broken TO
accommodate itself to the necessities of war,
and that when it is taught its place, it will
never again suggest that commanding officer
Ian either make "a mistake, be unnecessarily and
eruclly harsh and severe in discipline, or ex-
hibit cowardice on the battle field. But this is
DEPRESSION.
The Second Regiment is to join tho Third.
Ne are not informed whether one Colonel is to
ommani both, but we presume this is to be
B. in other words, that the Regiments are to be
pnsolidated. The trouble with Col. Whiting
a. no doubt made this step advisable if not ne
es3ary. Col. Smith of the Third Regiment will
ery likely take the command-at any rate we
he pretty sure Col. Whiting will not.
And in this connection and as significant of
lie cause of this movement, it may be proper
q newspaper, if not in a military view, to
tc that we have just learned that Major
YcE has resi- encd his commission and come

HAVANA, April 4, 1861.
Ed. Ct-escem-The steamer IIabana, Capt. J. B.
Mcconnell, made the Moro Castle on the even
ing Of the ID instant, having made the run from
the Baze in forty-nine hours, notwithstanding
she was heavily laden and had high wind
all the way. The Ambassadors from the Con-
federate States Of North America Hons. Z. A.
ton, Walker Fcarn, Esq, were highly delighted
with the performance of our SouthernoTned
steamer, which for speed and strength cannot be
surpassed by any vessel of her tonnage: and she
was the pioneer steamer that bore the tlag OF
the new Confederacy at her main, the Spanish flag
at her fore. She steamed it gracefully between
the fleet of English, Spanish and other vessels Of
war now laying in the Bay; and she excited curl
osty among many of them, where the broad red
and white stripes and the circle of seven stars in
the true blue field came from; but was welcomed
by its messenger. The word Habana in the Carlb
language, the tribe of Indians who inhabited this
island onthe landing of Columbus, means lrelc0ne };
and the statue of the Indian mad who, it is stated,
| welcomed Columbus with the exclamation Habana,
stands in front of the chapel, the ground where
! Columbus first performed mass.
| The British Consul CMr. Crawford) to-day leads
off in paying suitable honors to our Ambassadors,
| which presume will be followed by others pre-
vous to their taking their departure for South
ampton (via st. Thomas) or the 9Th on the English
| steamer expected from Vera Cruz on that day
| May every success attend them on ther mission o
amty and commerce with the enlightened Courts
of Europe they may visit. The selection OF Messrs
Rost and Yancey was good combining moderation
frmness, talent and character; but nous uerTo3ns
There is much inquiry here in regard to our polio,
| in trade connected with this Island. Our CONNER
| cial relations will be more closely connected an
cemented by good feeling and confidence, bot
sympathizng in the permanent security of proper
ty so necessary in the development of the agricu
tural wealth of the South; and this subject will
doubt be properly placed before the Court Q
Spain at Madrid, and reciprocal treaties, mutual
| advantageous to commerce and productions
agreed upon.
The steamer Marquis de Ia Habana Zone of til
| prize vessels sold at New Orlcans) arrived here
few days since from New Orleans, seven days pas
sage, disabled damaging her cargo, which wa
| here is uncertain.
Great preparations are being made here for the
arrival of Prince Alfred, (the sailor prnce) who
will be here the 18th inst, and ] will reserve my
| comments as the Miramon has steam up.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

We invite the particular attention of the stock
holders Of this company, and of the public gener-
ally, to the advertisement of Col r. V. Richardson,
agent, 81 Common street, in another column,
which gives q concise but accurate statement Of
the affairs of this company, the prospects it holds
out to those already interested in the work, or who
NAV become interested hereafter in the $J00O00
worth of new stock it is proposed to issue, on the
terms and for the purposes indicated.
The statement of Col +. is so clear, explicit and
convincing, that it seems to us the full amount
asked for should be taken in this single city within
n week: and we doubt not it would have been SO
taken ere this but for the political and other eX"
elements which have absorbed the attention of
the neople. As it is we should have preferred to
see the whole sum subscribed for here--for in a
commercial sense, we of New Orleans are to be

holders are paying up freely. This was expected
from them, for they we'll know the vast value O
the franchise in which they are interested; ant

following:
The overland stage from the Fast, which arrived
here this morning, fired into by five Indians at
point some ninety miles from here No one was
injured. As the stages now travel with guards be-
tween here and Mesa, this is the only attack that
has been made upon the line within the last ten
days. Two of the grards Immediately jumped out
and returned the fire, killing one Indian and ser
ousIy woundng another. The others ran aw ay,
and left the stage to pursue its journey in peace
We are told that one hundred and htty men have
left the Pine Alto gold mines for iillbuSernS eN
petition into Sonora. Surely, they expect rein
f0rcements, Or they would not make such an at

rumOrs Tor several months that an organization
comprising over one thousand men had been
formed in Eastern Arizona, for the purpose OF ILL

was over, but it seemed so improbable that paid
no attention to the story 1t was said that tho
members were sworn to secresy, and that the or
