This. adds the Tribune. confirms our late
exposition of Lanes great Southwestern
movement. and clears one point on which
we were in doubt. viz: the feeling Of Gen
Mcclellan towards the proposed expedi-

the General-in. Chief. We are happy to
be ASSURED, also. that the new Secretary

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S--The Navy De-
partment has received dispatches from
Commander Gleason of the United States
steamer Mt. Vernon, dated off Whining
ton. N. O.. giving an interesting account
of the burning of light ship.
Having heard that the rebels made use
OF it as beacon for guiding vessel in and

annoying our vessels by hosting lights at
night. he determined to take advantage of

The boats proceeded to within a short
distance of the light-vessel on the off side
of Fort Casweil. The two officers, a
boatswains's mate and quartermastcr' S
sergeant. climed on board by rope which
was hanging at the SHE.
The light boat was quite deserted. But
carpenters had been at work upon her re-

for eight guns. No attempt was made to

the light ship.
The fort did not open fire upon our
boats until tSey were clearly out of harm S

The Evacuation OF Romney.

The telegraph has briefly announced the

and by daylight the next morning the
whole column, IL 900 men. haS reached
the Potomac, fifteen miles distant. The
immediate cause of the change was the ex-

1t is evident to all who choose to look
beneath the transparent euphemisms of the
Washington dispatches that the recent
change in the Cabinet is the act of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The vacancy which has been
filled By the appointment of new Secrcta-
~ Of War occurred because he sciHed that
it should occur. The creation of the va
cancy and the mole Of filling it will con-
firm the opinion which has been for the
last ten months slowly maturing in the
public mind. that President Lincoln is the
most self-poised and self-dependent states
man that could have been placed at the
head of the Government in this trying cri-
sis. His whole course since his inangura-
ton has exhibited moral robustness com
bined with masculine sense. He has none
of the irascible. explosive vehemence which
lay behinsf the defiant moral courage
of Andrew Jaclson, but not even Andrew
jackson was more self SUSTAINED in the
formation Of a purpose, or more immova
BILE in It when once adopted. Hc is slow
and deliberate. ponlering long and turn
ing over an important subject many times
in his thoughts before reaching decision,
but the Alps or the Andes are not more
firmly planted on their basis than are his
deliberate decisions. When he once puts
down his foot, he pnts il down firmly
Without any OF the impatience of weak
character. OF any of the fickleness of a
time-server. or any Of the narrowness of a
mere partisan. Mr.. Lincoln is equally forth
fed against the practical errors that result
from hasty opinions and the misjndgments
superinduced by the influence Of other
minds.-N. Y. World.

Jan. 9th. 1862.
Col. /. MArTINGLy.-Our regiment. the
9th, starts this morning for Louisville,
Ky. Our letters and papers should be adj
dressed to that place for the present. We
will take all our sick with us. This place
will hereafter be occupied by Ohio and
Virginia troops All of our company are
in tolerable health, except Oscar Ferguson.
and he s improving slowly.
Last Thursday the most brilliant achiev-
ment Of the campaign in Western Virgin
ia occurred. While the 9th made fcint
to attack the rebel camp on Alleghaney
Summit a Virginia and Ohio regiment
went around in the rear of the rebels and
burnt al their army stores in the town OF
Huntcrsville. consisting of flour. salt. beef.
and large quantity of arms. The total
damage thus inflicted on the rebels is esti-
mated at over eighty thousand dollars.
We should have preferred remaining
here the balance of the winter. after having
built our comfortable winter quarters. and
have gone to Kentucky in the spring. but,
it has pleased those in authority to will
otherwise. We will have terrible cold
weather to march in. The snow is still on
the ground. and we shall have to camp on
it until we reach the rail road. The 9th
has suffered SO many hardships that it is
thought it can stand any thing.
But. must prepare to march, so good
bye. Yours. DC.

DEAR MISUNDERSTANDING at leisure to-
day thought l would drop you few
lines. aid probably they would be inter
esting to some of the readers of the Rs
PUBLICAN. l belong the 9th Illinois Cav
airy regiment. but Illinois should not have
more than half the credit Of it. One oil
the companies composing it was made mp
in Ohio. two in Indiana. one in Michigan
and one in Wisconsin. besides Other States
are pretty well represented in other com
panies Of the regiment. Some claim that
our company is composed entirely Of citi.
zens OF Porter county. but that is not true
will give you the figures: The company
is composed Of Of men rank and file. Of
which A are from Porter county. l6 from
Lake county. 10 from Laporte and II
from Marshall. the rest scattering. Those
from Marshall were all from Bourbon and
vicinity. We came here the 4th day OF
October last. Since that time great
deal of work has been done here. When
we first went into camp we had tents. now
we have barracks sufficient to accommo-
date 5000 men, or 5 regiments. and sta.
bles enough to hold 1000 horses, which
are well filled with our horses and those Of
Bells Cavalry regiment. Colonel Brack-
EFT. formerly captain Bracket of the regu-
lar army. commands our regiment. He
volunteered in the Mexican war and has
been in the service ever since. He was
captain Of Cavalry company in the bat
tie of Bulls Run. He is we'll drilled
and an efficient officer Doctor Bracket
from Rochester. Fulton County. is the
surgeon of the regiment. There are twelve
companies in the regiment and it now
numbers 1850 men in the aggregate. All
have good horses. We have received
marching orders, and expect to leave here
next week for. st. Louis, where. we will
get our arms. and then. probably. ordered
to Fort Leavenworth. ALI are anxious
to cv. into Lanes Division. Col. Brack-
ct thinks VIC viii. but this is not positive.
His orders now are to report to General
Halleck, at st. Louis, as soon ss we can
get off from here. i''i
With the exception of meascls. Of which
there has been a number of cases.. some Of
them severe enough, the health ofthe camp
has been tolerably good. e'ai q
For some time past it has been rather
dull here in camp. but since the reception
OF marching orders there has been conside-
rable stir: "only this and nothing more"
