GEN. PIERcE's LETTER N CONGREss.-In
the House of Representatives on Friday last,
Mr.. Rollins in the course Of some remarks
alluded to Gen. Picrce's "blood-in-our-own-
streets letter, suggesting that the rebellion
was induced by Just such representations on
the part Of Northern Democrats to the chiefs
OF the rebellion. Mr. Cox of Ohio. Copper
head as he is, felt the point of the remark,
and Indignantly denied that Mr.. Pierce ever
wrote such letter, declaring it to be a for
gerry. The hundreds of our citizens who have
seen the original, the thousands who will
soon see the Autograph fac simile, and all
our PEOPLE who know that not a Copperhead
a'cet IN the State has dared deny it, authen-
lefty, will await with some anxiety what
VI. Cox will say when Mr.. Rollins shall re-
,iecm his pledge, which he will at once do, to
produee the original letter.-Manehester

\ Washington letter TO the 7rareller saws.
The rebels are astir at dozen points, and
Gen. Halleck is on the q,A riue 1t is said that
his orders for general movement went out
fortnight ago. The mild weather of the
last three weeks has somewhat embarrassed
our military leaders. No one could have ex-
pected that the last half of January and the
first half of February would in temperature
be like April. Many regiments are off on
furlough, and they are among the best in the
service.
The new troops do not make good the alb
sence of these veterans, and it is probable
that the rebel leaders have made their cal
culations with reference to the absence of
the furloughed regiments. 1t is a relief to
know that Gen. Halleck does not intend to
wait and receive the attacks of the enemys
He will, weather permitting, give the rebels
occupation within their own lines. This
