The Judge Advocate General has taken prelim-
frauds connected with the 611aTf9fer56 6 astefs 5 &
partment Of Philadelphia. The testimony in part
has already been secured. The transactions re-
late to tents, caps clothing and other supplies,
shoddy entering largely, It IS said, into the con-
tracts. The reports state that the frauds aggre-
gate several millions.
Major General Burnside was in this city to-day
and had an interview with the President, Secre-
tary Stanton and Major General Halleck.
1t IS generally believed here that all
the reports that any portion Of the Army OF
the Potomac has recently crossed the Kappa
hammock are without foundation. In fact a tele-
graph from the army, received tonight, says
there is nothing of interest TO communicate.
John h. Boyle and Charles Powell, lately ar
| rested near Dumfries, were both rebel captains
/ on Gen. Stuarts staff. The evidence against
/ them seems to be conclusive as to their being
spies, who, dressed in citizens clothes, kept
| their chief constantly advised of our movements
and especially just before the last rebel raid on
| Dunfries
The Tribunes Washington special says Count
/ MERCER repeated to-day his assurances Of the
! friendly regards Of the Emperor Napoleon, and
| said he wishedto have it announced that the in-
| tentions Of France IN her proposal Of mediation
i and in her expedition to Mexico are in cOnsO-
| nance with the most friendly feelings to the
| American Union and American interests that in
| regard to Mexico, particularly, the Emperor had
no purpose to interfere with American rights or
the rights of nations, but only to maintain the
| honor of France.

NEW YORKNEWs

NEW YORK. Jan. a.
The Express says on Wednesday last General
Wool issued orders to the several commanding
officers of the regiments forming the whole mi
lita in the State, to report to him the number in
each corps ready for duty, with other particulars
relative to their efficiency and the arms in their
possession
The orders were quietly served on these effi-
GERS and the ecommsndants Of the regiments Of
the Second Division responded by by presenting
their reports to Gen. Wool.
1t is understood that Gen. Wool informed them
that he was empowered by the General Govern
ment to perform this duty. Some Of the regi-
ments of the First Division reported TO General
Wool, but others boldly refused to do so on the
ground that Gov. Seymour was legally the COM
mander Of the forces Of the State. Yesterday
Gen. Hall first heard Of this movement Of General
Wool. He Immediately proceeded TO the head
quarters Of the commander ofthe Department Of
the East and had lengthy interview with Gen.
Wool, during which he entered vigorous pro-
test in behalf of the State forces, against the
der Of the General requiring them TO report to
him.
This new movement has created great excite
ment in military circles and the prevailing Opin-
ion respecting It is that it embodies the design Of
the National Administration to place the militia
under their control.

MEXICAN NEWS.

NEW YORK, Jan. n
By the arrival ofthe steamship Sheldral1e from
Havana, we have the following:
HAvANA, Jan. 14.-Our sugar crop is beginning g
to make its appearance in the market. The crop
promises to be a very large one.
The news from Mexico IS offs highly interest
ing and exciting character. French cOmmunica-
ton between Vera Cruz and Orizsba has been
completely cut off by the Mexican guerrillas and
can only be re-establshed and kept up by strong
guards all along the route. The Mexican guer-
Tllas are in strong force all along the route and
worry the French increasingly.
It Is reported that the French have been re-
pulsed and driven back from before Puebla with
great loss.
The French General Berthier's vanguard,
1000 strong, was completely surprised by 500
Mexican cavalry, and about 1000 Of the French
troops were killed and wounded.
Several French officers we're taken by the lasso
and dragged of.
The prospets Of the French look exceedingly
bad. They can get no supplies from the country
and are surrounded by most determined foe
who watch every opportunity to take advantage
of them. No French soldier can stray from his
camp without being lsssoed and dragged of by
some Mexican guerrilla, who is on the watchfol
/ him.
The small pox in its most malignant form has
broken out IN Vera Cruz, and alazarettO is being
4 built for that class Of patients.

THE TAX UPON MAEUFACTURED TOBACCO.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has
decided that, when manufactured, chewing
OF smoking tobacco is put up in packages Of
tin foil, paper, or other wrapping material,
for consumers, the cost of such material shall
first be deducted from the gross amount Of
sales of such tobacco before the tax On the
same is levied and in aseertaini1lg the
weight Of tobacco sold. the veigLt Of the
wrappers shsIl be deducted. The owner of
the tobacco, rather than the person who per-
forms the labor, is regarded as the ms.nufac-
turer Of snuff, and the tax in such cases
should be paid by the owner, in accordance
with the principle laid down in Decision 46,
concerning manufactures. The manufaotu-
rsr Of cigars may deduct the cost of the box
es from his returns Of sales, as the tax will be
levied upon the net rather than the gross re-
ceipts.

Captain W. P. EdgartOn and Lieutenant
A Burwiok were both taken prisoners, but
not wounded, and are supposed to have beer
taken to Vicksburgh.
It is to be feared that portion of thOs'
Earked as missing are buried upon the field
Of battle, as the Battery was posted upon th'
extreme right, and being almost surprised
and furiously attacked by at least three di
visions of the rebel army, and not beinl
properly supported by our infantry, wer
driven preoipitately from their position, an,
the ground was not re-taken until the evaeu
alton of Murfreesboro', several days after
wards. Meantime, the members of the Bat
terry had been 50 dispersed as to make it i'm
possible for them to be present when tn
burial of the greater part of their dead wa
attended to by our forces.
Very truly yours,

It is also worthy of note that owing to the

against its exclusion from the rooms Of the
Chicago Board Of Trade. The said grain
dealers have como out over their own sigma
lures in the Chicago Journal and exposed
the forgery Of the Times. The latter paper
has been doing big business in the way Of
fabricating correspondence defending its own
