In THE SENATE of Pennsylvania, Feb.
Mr.. Lowry presented copy of despatch
sent 10 day by Governor Curtin 10 President
Lincoln, stating that the prospect OF rails
ing fifty companies under The State call was
encouraging. bu: that the accommodations al
the camp were entirely insufficient that
abe coming nights would probably be very
cold, and that, i: permitted, the Stale au
thoriIies would fnd accommodations for the
men. To this patch no answer has
been received. A discussion ensued, 10
which Mr.. Lowry said that released pris
oners from Richmond had declared that
they had never endured such suferings as
those OF men in Camp Curtin. Four years
ago one regiment had lost more than one
hundred men from privations needlessly
had no right TO erect buildings, although
his heart was beating with warm sympathy
Tor these men.
Our Loyal League patriots proclaimed so
much sympathy with the prisoners confined
by the rebels and propose retaliation as
means Of balancing accounts with the reb-
els. What Go they think of the authorities,
al Harrisburg, WHOM the State OF Penn
syIvania, where provisions and all that ls
necessary TO make soldiers comfortable, can
bs procured so easily-are starving and
freezing the soldiers eulisled TO fight in our
own army! Why not rsiaiiate spCn Capt.
Dodge, who appears to be receiving good
portion of the blame. Ii the above facts

THE WAR NEWS.


The movement made BIZ a portion of
Gen. Grants army was by portions of War
ren's ard Humphreys corps. The total
number OF troops engaged was about fifteen
! thousand. Gen. Meade commanded the
force in person. The troops moved on
. Sunday morning lasl in TWO columns Hum
phrey's corps was upon the southern flank.
WarreL's corps was on The northern flank.
Humphrey marched west from his camp,
crossing the Weldon railroad at Ream
Station, and advanc IN g four miles westw ward
along the Vaughn road 10 Hatcher's run.
Warren moved along parallel roads three
miles north OF the Waugh road. The skir-
mishing with the Coufederates has already
been reported, and il is stated that the Fed
eral loss in these engagements will amount
TO nearly four hundred. On Supday night
the Federal troops halted on an intrenched
line facing northwest and crossing Halcaer's
run al right angles. Warren's northern
flank was six miles southwest Of Peters
burg aud three miles from the SouIhside
railroad. Hum phrey's southern flank was
nine miles souihw est OF Petersburg, and
seven miles from the Souihside railroad.
The Confederates we're in strong force all
along the 'front.' The object OF the move
ment was 10 control The roads leading from
Petersburg sor,h, so the Confederate troops
could not be sent 10 oppose Sherman.
On Monday morn ing all seemed favora>

brought up large reinforcement, and in the
forenoon they dis posed them for an attack
They first sent all their troops against War

was forced 10 give way, and re,realed in a
somewhat broken condition nearly two
miles. This retreat exposed a portion OF
The Sixth corps that was crossing Ha:cher's
run, to reinforce Humphrey. They were
driven in confusion across the run. Hum
phrey then retrea.ed, the Con federaes at
lacking him a. he marched, but doing very
lille damage. On Monday night The Fed
eral troops were all on The east side OF
HaIcher's run. In the two days fighting
they had lost one thousand men, The Con-
federates were in strong force on the oppo-
site side of Hatcher's run. The movement
was a complete failure no ground was
gained, and The losses inflicted, had been
very heavy. This is the fifth time General

Yours &C., A. LINCOLN
On the morning OF February 8, the three
gentlemen, Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and
Campbell, came aboard of our steamer and
had an interview with The Secretary Of
State and myself OF several hoCfs' duration.
No question OF pre!minaries 10 the meet
ing was then aud there made or mentioned.
No papers were exchanged or produced,
and il was in advance agreed that the con-
yersstion was TO be informal and verbal
merely. On our par: the whole substance
of the instructions 10 the Secretary of State
herein before reciied was stated and insists
ed upon, and nothing was said inconsist
ent herewith /; while by the other party it
condition that they ever would consent TO
feunion, and yet they equally ommitted TO
declare that they would not conseat. They
seemed 10 desire a poslpoaement of that
question and the adoption of sume other
course first, which. as some of them SEEM
TO argue, might or might not lead TO reun-
ion, but which course we thought would
amount TO an inde finite posiponement -.
The conference e1ded without result.

Pennsylvania ons-Ihird Of the LniOn.

Provost Marshal Fry, who is Justly re-
ceiving the condemnation of all reasonable
and thinking people, has, we suspect, been
taking instructions under BIitz, aud is prsc
ticing ieggdemsln, in apporiioning quo,as.io
the State oi Pennsylvania. By some trick,
OF By ''lighlning calculations" with which
he common People are not acquainted, he
has figured up. Under deficiency call Tor
$780, ,ooe men, a quota for this county Of
eight hundred and ;0rty -seuen more ttan We
have been required 10 furnish under any
cali previous TO this. This Congressional
Disiric, is required to furnish over four thou~
sand Now there is paIpable evidence of
gross injustice, for Pennsylvania has twen-
ty-five Congressional Districts. The popu-
lalion OF each OF these should be as nearly
egnaI as il is possible 10 aPporIion them.
Therefore II The draft is made, throughout
the whole State in quotas proPorlioned as
is this district, Pennsylvania must furnish
one hundred and seUen thousand soldisrs.dor a
call of three hundred thousand, or more
rsfsa one-lhird Of the whole number, hence
there is a manifest wrong: OF Penrsylva-
mia is~more -fhaB ohe-third of the Union.
But TO- palIia.s the egregious blunders OF
frantic Fry il has been said there is a def
cheney in this district we are required TO
make MP. Now what is that deficiency
Drafts have been made almost every week,
during this winter to procure the entire
quotas under iEe 500 600 call, and there re-
snains for the whole county of Columbia
deficiency OF Twelve men. II is no greater
in other counties Of the district. So The
matter of deficiencies canrni be consid-
cred in accounting for the injustice.
