QUITTING DIsAGREEABLE CoMPANY.-The SD regi-
ment New York State Militia composed of very choice
MATERIAL many of them being foreigners and majority
natives of France, lately attached to Burnsides
Division of the U. S." army of subjugation. The
SD regiment reached Washington from New York in
due course of time and quartered in the vicinity of
the late National Capitol. In the meantime murmurs
Of discomfort among the MEMBERS from the Col
one to the meanest private in the ranks They did not
like the style of entertainment to which they had heen
invited, and made bold to say The disaection of
the 53d growing too large for concealment and the
breach between it and government being rreconceable
Lincens Secretary of War issued order disbandng
the regiment and turning its members adrft go any
where they pleased. The order was promulgated a
short time snce and the regiment resolved into it's
original elements of number of discontented private
citizens. Of course the latter were subject to suspicion
as enemies of the Abolition Government at Washing
ton that state being natural sequence of their late
condition. The sequel to the above so far asthe South
ern public are aware present. is that few days since
three French officers, named Capt Alfred Ciprani,
Lieut.. Victor Vifquerin and Lieut. Maurice de Beau
ment, aux Chasseurs dassgne, (easal presented them
selves to two of pickets on the Alexandria road
and requested to be conducted to the headquarters of
the Commanding General of the army of the Potomac.
The spokesman, Lieut.. Vifquerin, the only one who
could speak English intelligbly of the three made
known the desire of the party to enter the Southern
army, if their services accepted and their wish,
whether or no. to surrender themselves They were ee
gantly mounted fine horses, had good swords and
pistols and in all respects conducted themselves as gen.
| tlemen. They were carried to Fredericksburg and
thence Tuesday night brought to this city and
delivered to the Provost Marshal until the decision of
the Secretary of War in their case should be made
known. One of the above officers is cousin to Count
Mercier, the French Minister at Washington.

Autopsy Of the Deserter johnson.

Autopsy Of the Deserter johnson.
After the execution at Washington of
the deserter johnson, an autopsy was had
upon his body, at which some of the most
distinguished army surgeons were present.
1t was fully ascertained that the first volley
of eight shots was fatal, three balls having
entered the heart, and what was supposed
to have been a groan from the criminal
as he fell forward land which induced the
order for the second volley) was nothing
more than the noise from the escape of
gas. The examination elected the fact
that none of the balls (riAe) passed through
the body, though at only six PAGES distance.
This singular fact was explained upon the
theory that the balls 10 traversing that
short distance had not acquired the rotary
motion giving them momentum. Some Of
the balls passed through the body, lodging
in the back skin. But one of the balls was
flattened, and that it is supposed struck q
button.

Arms from Europe.

1t is estimated that nearly a quarter of a
million stand of arms have been brought to
this country during the past four months,
by the Hamburg line of steamships. Be-
sides these, large amount of war material,
including infantry and cavalry equipments,
have been imported from Europe. The
Bremen line, which has kept up monthly
communication, has of course, though some
of the cargoes have been very large, brought
a less number. But during the four or FIVE
months past, it has undoubtedly brought a
hundred and fifty thousand stand, besides
equipments.

The Warrior.

The iron-plated steam frigate Warrior,
which is expected shortly to make her ap'
pearance on the American coast, is the first
armor-clad vessel built for the British navy.
When completed (last summary her arma.
ment was as follows Thirty-tour g..
Founders, smooth bore, placed in the broad.
side ports; and on the upper deck, two 100.
FOUNDER Armstrong guns on pivots, Zone
forward and the other aft), three 40.pound-
ers, rs and 26.pounder, Armstrong;, and
24.psunder brass howitzer. (By our
latest dispatches, per Arago, however, we
learn that she is to be supplied with eight,
instead of two, 10O-pounders, and three 70.
Founders, instead of 40-pounders). She
carries $50 men, and with her shot, shell, SC.
on board, draws Is feet inches forward and
26 feet 5 inches aft. Her propeller is "a feet 6
incres diameter. On her trial from Lon
don to Portsmouth,, with the whole of her
fore and aft sails set, and engines making
48 revolutions per minute, speed OF l39
knots was obtained. During twenty hours
steaming, she consumed 100 tons of coal.
She left Spithead October Is, for second
trial in Stokes Bay, where she averaged
over fourteen knots, her engines making a
triAe over "a revolutions. The Black
Prince, another ship of the same size and
description as the Warrior, has been CON-
pleted in England. On her trial trip, she
made l411s knots. These vessels are now
the fastest in the British navy, and both
nearly ready for sea. But they have yet
to encounter their first gale On the ocean.
Whether they have been built with strength
proportionate to their immense weight and
great length (said to be over four hundred
feet), or whether their massive plating in a
heavy sea will strain the vessels, become
loose and produce leaks of dangerous
characters in the case of the La Gloire
(French--a few weeks may determine. a
gale such as that which disabled the Great
Eastern might settle the question.

General Sherman and the Reporters,

An arrival from Port Royal few days
since announced that General Sherman had
issued an order banishing the reporters from
his command, whereupon several silly jour-
mails, and one making pretensions to sense -
the New York Evenimg Postponed forth
much nonsense about =" the press" and its
peculiar claims. A subsequent report is to
the effect that the General has recalled the
order. A correspondent of the World gives
the following explanation
General Sherman and the representatives
of the press have had an amiable little
brush. That gallant officer issued on Mon.
day last circular celebrating the privi-
leges Of the fourth estate at one fell swoop.
The representatives assembled casually un.
der the open sky, and interchanged senti.
ments of sad and repentant character.
Finally they concluded to invade the tyran-
meal Brigadier in bis tent, which conclusion
they instantly carried into action. The
General received them blandly, informed
them that their publications gave informa.
ton to the enemy which it was highly de
sirable should be withheld from him, and
that, while be had the deepest respect for
them Individually, and the highest admira.
ton for them in the aggregate, as we'll as
an appreciation amounting to fanaticism of
the pursuit which they ornamented, be felt
constrained, as an officer and patriot, to
strap down the safety-valve and food the
land with silence. Whereupon the press
men, thus beleaguered, promised to behave
themselves with the greatest circumspec-
ton, not to touch an item until it was at
least week old, and in all respects so to
deport themselves as to deserve his fthe
Generally appreciation and regard. So the
officer relented, and peace reigns between
the warrior and the scribes. do not pro.

this interview, but in substance it is cor.

Surrender OF Mason and Slidell to thu
British Government

The announcement that our Government
will surrender the rebel Commissioners into
the hands of the British Government, was
not entirely unexpected, Indeed, from the
time when they were captured, notwith-
standing all the precedents quoted in favor
of the legality of the act of Commodore
WILKES, many persons have doubted wheth-
er international law as expounded in this
country would justify it, and a still larger
number we're willing to waive many points
of the law, rather than give England an
an opportunity Of interfering, by force of
arms, in behalf of the rebels.
1t has been stated on the best authority,
that President LINCOLN, within few hours
after the fact of the arrest of Mason and
Slidell was made known to him, entertain
ed and expressed the opinion that the pris-
oners must be given mp, and few men could
bring to the examination of the subject q
clearer head, purer craftsmanship and q
keener sense of what is right in the prem
Uses. Mr.. Buchanan also expressed the
same opinion without hesitation, and what.
ever may have been bis blunders and
crimes, no one will question his knowledge
of the law which should govern the
case.
The reasons given by Mr.. Seward, on
behalf of the government. for acceding to
the demand of Earl Russell, are ingeniously
stated, and are apparently offered in good
faith. He discovered that in attempting
to defend the seizure, he weakened princi-
pies that we're portion of the distinctive
policy of the United States as laid down
by James Madison, when Secretary of State
under Jefferson, in bis instructions to James
Monroe, then our Minister to England, and
therefore be could not deny the justice of
the claim of the British Government.

Chamber ot'Commerce, they passed several
hours in looking through the Department
to learn the details of its management. So
complete ia this, that each night the result
Of the days transactions in every bureau
are placed before the Secretary, and though
there has been but small increase OF the
clerical force of the Department, 90 well
systematized are its operations that fully
five times the amount Of labor is performed
The Committee asked for permission to re-
port the results of their investigation to the
Chamber of Commerce.
