Tie fact that the republicans have elected
an overwhelming majority of the Legislature,
in New Hampshire, shows their strength in
that state. One reason why the republican
vote for governor has fallen behind that of the
opposite party, is that many republicans voted
for Mr. Hartman; but there are other special
reasons why the voting for governor, as well
as the voting for congressman in the second
district, did not secure the full strength OF the
republican party for its candidates. The latest
and most reliable account of the New lamp
shire election is as follows -
STATESMAN OFFICE, CoNcoRD, March 10.
We have returns at this office from all the
towns except 10, which stood in 1862 as toll
lows berry, IA; Stark, GA; taking that
vote for present purposes the majority against
the democratic candidate for governor will be
about 700. The whole vote this year is about
GO, 800; last year 1t was $4,000.
Members Of Congress. - Daniel Marcy,
DEM, is elected in the first congressional dis
trict by about so to 10 majority. Edward IL.
Rollins, rep, is elected in the second district
by about 300 majority. James w. Patterson,
rep, is elected in the third district by about
500 majority.
Council The council will stand as follows
John w. Noyes, rep, in the first district

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The president to-
day sent message to the house, in reply to
the resolution asking why Senior Murillo had
not been received as a representative of the
revolutionary government of New Grenada,
and what communication was had with Senior
Henan, representative of the contederacy of
New Grenada. The president recites the Dip
lomatic relations heretofore existing between
the United States and New Grenada. In 1861
revolution and war broke out in Grenada, as
Stunning to set up new government, under
the name of the United States of Colombia.
This war had had its vicissitudes Bnt the
revolutionary organization has hitherto been
simply Il military and provisionary power,
without defunctive constitution or govern
ment and no government of the latter kind
has been organized in lieu of the government
of 1858, which has been recognized by the
United States. The United States minister
appointed in 1861, was instructed, in view of
the occupation of the capital of New Grenada
by the revolutionists, and the universally of
the civil war then raging, not to present his
credentials to either of the governments. but
conduct affairs informally, as is customary in
such cases, and report the progress of events
and await instructions.

Etrnm New Orleans.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1G.-We have the follow
ing from New Orleans Capt. John Clark
has resigned, his resignation being accepted
by Gen. Banks, to take effect February LIST.
None Of the New Orleans papers give the
names of those killed and wounded at Calves
ton, or details as to the number of our men
captured from the 42d Mass. regiment.
The following are all the details OF the
Galveston disaster to be found in the New Or
leans papers SAT 2 O'Clock on the morning
of Jansl, four rebel gunboats, lined and for
tilted with cotton bales, emerged from Buffalo
bayou into Galveston bay, and moved directly
to attack our vessels. The Harriet Lane was
aground, but succeeded in getting several well
directed shots into one of our steamers, sink
ing her in few minutes. The rebel sharp
shooters succeeded in killing all the gunners,
and Capt Wainwright. When the latter fell,
the Texans boarded the Harriet Lane, and
captured her, meeting a heroic defence from
her officers and men. Lieut.. Lee and nearly
all her crew were killed"
The rebels next attacked the Westfield, also
aground. After Intellectually attempting to
defend her, Capt. Renshaw and his officers
unanimously agreed to blow her up. Most of
her officers and crew escaped. Capt Rem
shaw, Lieut.. Zimmerman, engineer Green,
Two quarterilasters' loul hiehieii' an" {. DOe
crew of five men, were blown up with the
vessel. The gunboat Owasco had two men
killed and eleven wounded. The remainder
of the fleet escaped The rebels turned the
prows of all their vessels shoreward, where
they were anchored at last advices.
The steamer Cambria, with two companies
of cavalry horses, the I'd Vermont battery, and
a large number of women and children,
bound to Galveston, had a narrow escape
from capture on the 4th, but escaped, and re-
turned, meeting the frigate Brooklyn enroute
to Galveston.

More Horses KILLED by Vile, Transporta-
tion-A BLOCKADE Runner DcscriIed.


Boston, Jan. ia private letter states
that sixty horses of the 18th Massachusetts
battery died during the passage to fortress
Monroe on account of the rough weather.
The vessel conveying the battery was detained
in Boston harbOr two or three days of pleas
ant weather waiting for clearance from the
custom house.
A letter from Halifax gives the following
description of the British steamer Princess
Royal, previously reported as having sailed
from that port for Nassau with valuable
cargo, principally powder and munitions of
war. The vessel is built of iron and is schoon-
er-ngged. She is propelled by screw, and
makes an average speed of about twelve knots
an hour. After coaling at Cunard's wharf,
she ran out into the stream, and for the last
two days painters have been busy transform
ing hen hull, spars, funnel, &C., from black to
a lead color. Her captain processes to belong
to New York, but it is certain that his real
intention is to run the blockade if he can.
Being short of one Or two hands, he engaged
two young men at Halifax, to whom he prom
ised a handsome bounty if he should succeed
in getting into Charleston. The Princess
Royal has ten large guns in her hold. She
has no guns on her deck, and the cargo is
represented as most valuable one. She was
built at Greenock, Scotland, in 1861, and is
beautiful model. The Princess Royal sails

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1G.
SEN ATE


bill was reported from the judiciary. Civ
ing authority to heads of departments to APP
point persons temporarily to discharge the
duties of secretary of war, the navy, and the
treasury.
The resolution of inquiry, relative to the
transportation through the mails of certain
papers, was adopted; and the bill making APP
preparations for deficiencies in the civil SER
vice was passed; and the bill to aid Missouri
in emancipating her slaves was taken up, Mr..
HENDERSON tavoring its passage. The bill
was postponed, as was also the bill fora con-
solidation of regiments.
1t was resolved that the vice president APP
point member of the board OF regents for
the Smithsonian Institute to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of senator Pearce.
On motion Of Mr.. HOWARD, it was resolved
that the committee ON territories report
whether the publication of the message of the
governor of Utah has been suppressed; and if
so, what was the cause and what was the
message.
Mr.. WILSON called up the bill to increase
the clerical force in the quartermaster's de-
partment, and offered to be read a letter from
Gen. Meigs, relating to remarks made in the
senate, concerning his loyalty. The letter
went on to say that if charges were made, the
authority ought to be given. After some de-
bate, adjourned
HOUSE.
The bill to enlarge the canals for the pass
age of gunboatS, was considered. After some
debate, the house went into committee on the
finance bill Mr.. HOOPER in response to a
query fromRoscoe Conkling, said he thought
the secretary Of the treasury could carry on
his department under the provisions Of this
bill. He, (Hooper) after consultation with
the treasurer, had prepared an amendment to
borrow nine hundred MILLIONS and issue bonds
payable after twenty years, with six per
cent interest, principal and interest payable in
com, or treasury notes payable in three years
with interest at per cent, payable in lawful
money or legal tender notes; the whole
amount of bonds, treasury notes and legal
tender notes, together, not to exceed 900,-
100000. 1t also authorizes a deposit of coin,
for which receipts are to be issued in sums not
less than 500, receivable at the custom house,
and for payments of interest on the public
debt
Mr.. SHEFFIELD opposed the secrctary's
scheme, which, he said, he said, would break
down the state banks. Without action the
committee rose.
Mr.. HOLMAN reported that Simon Stevens
had appeared before the committee on con-
tracts and answered all questions, and moved
that he be discharged from custody; agreed
to, and adjourned till Monday.

rebels to the number of two thousand and five
hundred, are reported encamped in the vicin-
ity of Savannah. Fears are entertained that
the train which left Pittsburg Landing, Sun
day, for Corinth, under an escort Of sixteen
hundred men, has been attacked and captured
by the rebels as their presence in that vicinity
was entirely unexpected. They were recelv-
ing artillery for the purpose ofblockading the
river, 1t is believed that no steamers will
be able to go up the river without the protec-
ton of gunboats. Forrest crossed the Ten
nessee on his retreat at Clifton.
