Lieut.. A. E. Bell, Capt. TAMIL. Lieut..
John NJ Pool, Lieut.. j. G. Lazell. Or.
r. NJ. Jeffries. and Capt. L. J. Johnson

ken.
The flag steamer then proceeded up
the James River, about nine miles above
Newport News, and met the steamer
from Richmond with $50 prisoners.
All of the prisoners were convales-
cents from the hospital About twenty
had crutches, and dozen had to be
carried on board-some on cots.
All Of them had been wounded
DR.. Higginbotham accompanied them,
and the men were loud in commends-
ton Of his uniform kindness to them.
Information has been received that
the Rebels have abandoned Roanoke
Island, in Pamlico Sound, and it is also
said to-day that they are preparing to
evacuate Yorktown. The latter is not

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
100000 MEN TO RESIST TIE ALLIED

INVADERS.
New YORK. Jan. l4.--Advices from
Havana are to the 7th inst.
On the 28th ult., Gen. Prim, after
most enthusiastic reception BY the
Haysnese, left for Vera Cruz. to take
command Of the expedition there. He
was accompanied BY q portion Of the
French contingent.
Several of the English vessels had
also been at Hsysna, but had not yet
gone to Mexico.
The first news from Vera Cruz had
been received by steamer, which left
there on the 25th, according to accounts
brought down from the interior by Sir
Charles Wyke, the English Minister
The Mexicans are making immense pre-
psrstions to oppose the progress of the
allies into the interior. Juarez had is
sued temperate proclamation, calling
on all parties to unite and repel the in
vasion, and bis call was almost univer-
sally responded to. 1t was believed
over 100, 900 men would soon be in the
field, with 100 pieces of artillery
Uraga was preparing to dispute the
passes above Vera Cruz with almost
10000 men. Tampico, it is UNDER
stood, will not be surrendered without
a struggle, for which the place is well
prepared. II is announced that on the
a8th uIt. an English steamer sailed from
that port for Mstamoras, under very
suspicious circumstances.

A THousASD CHINAMES DROWNED
The Californis journals. in giving ar
account Of the late disssterous floods
with which they have been visited,
state that the Chinese have been very
great sufferers. No less than forty-fve
Cinnamon we're carried away in their
cabins at Oregon Bar, in Placer county.
The Chinese hongs in San Francisco
have since received letters from the in
terror of the State to the effect that
during the late freshet near one thou
sand Chinamen were washed of from
Long Bar and vicinity on the Yula,
and were drowned. It appears that
the poor fellows remained in their
cabins on tie bar, as they had done
during previous floods. until the raging
waters rose about them and rendered
their escape impossible.

E Congress seems to be deeply
interested in retrenchirg the expenses
of Government. This is eminently
proper when we are expending millions
daily, but there is one point to which il
appears never yet to have turned at
tention. We allude to the inadequscy
of pay, received by the various branch
es of the service. All commissioned
officers are paid too much, non-com-
missioned too little. For instance, a
second Lieutenant, whose work is but
trifiing, compared to an Orderly Ser
geant, gets s105 per month, the Ser
geant but $50. The Sergeant Major
sci, the Chaplain s146. The labor
of the first is severe, of the second,
Just so so. The Quartermaster Ser
geant gets s17 per month. the first
Lieutenant $3.50, yet the former is the
hardest worked man in the regiment
The Chaplain receives 81, ,75O a year,
the Sergeant s942. Is there any JUS
tice or equality in it? How many con-
gregations pay their pastors any such
sums? Not one in a thousand. Our
army contains about 600 Chaplains,
and we venture to say not one in fifty
ever received the half of it. So with
our Lieutenants. But few of them in
civil life earned one half the money,
whilst there are but few of the Ser
geants, who did not make more as a
civilian than as soldier. It's mon
strous injustice to those who entered
the army more from patriotic than mer-
cenary motives. To reduce the pay Of
the commissioned and increase that of
the non-commissioned officers is simply
an act of justice. If any resign in con-
sequence, their patriotism may well be
doubted. Their places can easily be
filed with better men, and the country
save 81 900, 900 per month.
Regimental bands are another item
of expense which might be curtailed.-
A band to each Brigade would be suffi-
cient to raise the martial spirit of the
men. By this means $3.50, 900 per
month could be saved on expenses.
We dearly love good music. but in
such perilous times as the present, when
all the financial energies of the Nation
are taxed to the utmost, the pleasure
should be given up, and the funds ap-
piled to purposes more essential to a
vigorous prosecution of the war.
If the war was likely to prove a
short one, all these things would mat
ter but little. But who can foresee the
end? And if it is TO be continued at
the present rate of expenses, how long
can we maintain it? If retrenchment
is to be the order Of the day, let us
have it on principles of equality, es-
pecially when it can be done without in
the least degree affecting or impairing
the efficiency of the army.
