MwTEtttM, or the Herrin Attar.—From a recent official report the following facts are gathered : Scotland is found to fur nish the tallest and Ireland the shortest men ; one of the strongest illustrations being that Irishmen unde 5 feet 5 inches were to be found one-lourth more numer ous than Englishmen or Scotchmen. For merly, Ireland furnished the largest pro portion of the army. Now, it is England, the ratio per thousand being in England 56t», In Ireland 821, in Scotland 107. — Scotland gives the most readers, Ireland the fewest, England indemnifying herself by giving the largest number of recruits able to write. Thu rejection of English men is found to be chiefly for w eakness .of the chest, of Scotchmen for had teeth, and Irishmen for weak eyes; and it seems that professional men, as students and ar tists, with shopmen and clerks, are more eligible by physical qualifications, than either servants, husbandmen or mechan ics. , « to Abolition Villainy.— We clip the fol lowing from the Bulletin's Eastern cor respondence : At a meeting of the New York Histori cal Society, held on 2d December, Mr. Moore, the Librarian, called attention to the destruction or scattering of valuable memorials of the country, as our army advanced in Virginia, lie had an impor tant statement to make, which he knew would provoke the indignation of all pres ent as it did his own. He had been in formed from a reliable source, that the original will of Gen. Washington, which had been deposited at Fairfax Court House, had been taken away, and had been sold to the British Museum, thus de priving the nation of one of the most val uable relics of its great founder. He urged that the Government should take measures to guard and preserve such me morials in the future. Provost Marshals and their Func tions. —The following definition of a pro- Tost marshal ia taken from an English work of acknowledged authority, “Camp bell's Dictionary of Military Science.” As this officer is not known to our laws, or mentioned in our rules and articles o( war, but borrowed from the .English mil itary service, it is as well that the public should be made acquainted with the powers and duties of that officer in the service where he U tervUv v**«gm*ed. A comparison of thA powers ai:(f duties mentioned with those claimed and exer cised' in our country, at the present time, by the so-called “provost marshals,” may suggest some not unprofitable re flections: Proto&t Marthal. —An officer appoint ed in every army to secure prisoners confined on charges of a general nature, to preserve good order and discipline, to use every possible means of preventing crime, by frequently visiting those places of » ns} g/ i are likely to tie committed. "*ItS lakes cognizance of all followers and retainers of the camp, as well as of the soldiers of the army. The provost marshal is entrusted with authority to inflict summary punishment on any soldier or individual connected with the army whom he may detect in the actual com mission of nny offense against order and discipline ; but a recourse to the exercise of this part of his authority must be lim ited to the necessity of the case, where the prevalence and frequent commission of any particular offense may call for an h/ffliedfhttf exuhlptt. Whatever may be the crime, the pro vost marshal must see the offender com mit the act for which summary punish ment may be inflicted ; or if the provost marshal or his as-istants should not see the offender actually commit the crime, hut that sufficient proof of his guilt can be established, a report must be made to the g -neial officer commanding. Officers who impede the provost mar shal, or any other officers legally exercis ing authority, or refuse to assist him when requiring their aid in the execution of his duty, are liable to be cashiered. A soldier guilty of this offense is liable to punishment by the sentence of a general court martial. By the articles of war, no provost mar shal or officer commanding a guard can refuse to leceive and detain any prisoner committed to his charge by any officer or non commi-sioned officer of bis majesty’s forces, who must, however, at the same time deliver a written charge against the prisoner, signed himself —[From Camp bell's iiictionary of Military Science, pub lished in 1S2J. A III:ad Patriot Unjustly Censured. -The St. L, mis of the Bulletin writes as follows : The President and his military advis ers at Washington not long ago got into a spasm of vigor and military reform, and determined to dismiss about 10,tXI0 offi cers w ho were duokards, incompetents, or absent (rom their regiments without leave. They commenced a few days ago, ami struck from the army rolls about 100, and caused their names to be published. As usual, the Department showed itself to be as prone to censure wrongly, as as it has been to promote wrongly.— Among the list of those thus disgraceful ly discharged Irom service is Capt. Thompson, of the 22J Massachusetts reg iment, who is put down, I believe, as re maining away from his regiment without have. He was, on the contrary, mortal ly wounded at the battle of Malvern Hill, « bile lighting bravely, and died in hos pital on the 4th of August following. Errors equally as flagrant regarding other officers may be discovered by and-by. — — —- The following is running the round of the Paris papers : In Brittany there lately lived an old nobleman in absolutu retirement, with one man servant almost as old as himself. This recluse, who died in June last, was an enthusiastic archaelogist, and lor a long time had been tilling bis chateau with artistic treasure of old times.

In fifty-four days they would extend round the globe, ’in one year they would form a belt of dollar bills about twenty inches wide, which would extend round the entire globe of 23,000 miles. It would require a rail road train to run twelve hours per day and at a rate of thirty-six per hour, to keep up with the line of one dollar bills issued daily to meet the expenses of the war. -A ♦ ■ - The Crops in Iowa.— The yield of wheat in Iowa, is estimated at 20,000,000 bushels this year, being 1,750,000 bush els more than the crop of 1861. There have been 1,325,000 acres cultivated this season in corn, which will yield 76,250,- 000 bushels, or an excess over the crop of last year of 16,000,000 bushels. Oats will reach 10,000,000 bushels; hav 1,000,- 000 tons; sorghum, 3,000,000’gallons, and potatoes, double last year’s quantity. The State will be able ’to export this year 175,000 cattle and 900,000 hogs. The increase of sheep has been about one third during the past year, making the number in the State 250,000.

Placsbvillb, Dec. 29tb, 1862. Chief Engineer’s Salary—The Vet*. Mkhsrs. Editors: In common with other members of the Eire Department, I was more tiiso astonished when I read the message of the President of the City Council, in returning the Ordinance creating "a salary to the Chief Engineer unapproved tu the Council. Of course I already knew of the veto, but of the extraor dinary reasons held for the act I was in bliss ful ignorance until 1 read tbe remarkably fair reasoning, truth-premising and unprejudiced document in question. The Hon. President starts out by comparison, and whether it bears any real virtue is not my Kurpose, iu this communication, to discuss; ul, in making it, be, by implication if not by other means, does an injustice to the officer who, in his clear-sighted and economical opin ion, should render his services to tbe City for tbe “honor of the thing.” Iu tbe very begin ning of the message, he insinuates, if be does nut tell us in plain English, that tbe duties of the Chief Engiueer are nut “ both responsible and arduous.” Now, any impartial man, wbu has given tbe subject tbe least thought, will prouuuoce the assertion of tbe Hoo. President the merest balderdash, for it is well koown that the dutiea that officer is required by the various City Ordinances sod tbe laws of the Depart ment to perform, are “ both responsible and arduona’ 1 to a degree which rentiers it hardly just or fair tu expect him to perform them for nothing. Iu aiHiiber portion of this eingulardocument, —and 1 do not intend to criticise it as s Oocu m.-nt, for it falls beneath criticism—the Hon. President makes an insinuation as brood as it is false and injuriuua alike to the feelings and character of tbe members of tbe Department, as such, and as men. I have reference to that jporinio where tbe Hon. President intimates "iraud-where he says: " And it now becomes our duty, as sworn officers of the City, to tee that she is not defrauded.” W betber the au thor meant or even knew what be said when he penned those words, the facts in tbe case give food reason to doubt. Where was the fraud? I Iraud there were, why did not the Hon. Pres ident give us soma clue by which we could ar rive at it aud see whether it had foundation in fact * We, as firemen, tnnst be content to rest under tbs imputation of attempting to defraud the City, simply because tbe bead uf its gov ernment disdains to reduce tbe charge to plain terms and allow ua a defense. The lliard of Delegates—ail honorable and well-known man, wbu are tax-pavers and tern the interests of the City at heart probably as much as the Hon. President—certainly thought no fraud iu the mailer wbm they passed resolutions in favor of the Ordinance", prior 4o its veto, by a vote of nine to one. They passed such resolutions; sre they guilty of complicity in sn attempt to defraud tbe City ? Were a majority of the Council parties to the fraud when three out of five voted to pass the Ordinance over the reto? Tbe message says a “ majority of the mem bers of the Eire Department did not anticipate the proposed" salary. This is wide of tbe truth, as the author of tbe message must bare known: fur the “ proposed change” bad been agitated and discussed by tbe members of the Department, and had also been presented to the City Couucil several weeks prior 10 tbe election. Does tbe Hon. President forget that the members of tbe Council were requested to meet sod net upon the matter, several weeks before tbe election ? They were asked to do so —they declined, and yet their bead complains uf suap jodgineut. It is all very well tor the Uon. President to bring to bis assistance tbe popular cry of “ Railroad,” but any observer will perceive that it is used to prejudice tbe people against the measure by creating an unfair inference. The conueciioo baa nu solid foundation as must be discovered. Would tbe pavmeut of a salary to the Chief Engineer entirely squelch tbe liailrosd? The Hun. President seems to think so. U»w wss tbe information obtained that a majority of the Department was opposed to tbe salary? Certainly not by cooversing with them, because all, with but three exceptions, with whom 1 have talked over tbe matter, are in favor of it. Certainly not through the Board o! Delegates—the representative bead of the Department, and supposed to reflect its will —lor they favored it by strong resolutions trans mitted to the Council. I say transmitted, but 1 must correct myself. One of the resolutions instructed the Secretary of the Board tu send to tbe President and Common Council a copy of the whole under ihe seul of tbe Department. Tbe copy was duly made out by tbe Secretary and on account ot some business engagement be wss prevented from delivering them him self, hut asked a friend to do so for him. Tbe resolutions were delivered to the Hon. Presi dent in person, with the request that he would 6 reset!: them to the aaaeuibled Council. Tbe Iud. President “ pocketed” them, and tbe Council waa kept in ignorance of their exist ence. I have no comment to make upon this action of the Hon. President. The Hon. P.-esident argues that because there was but one candidate and so few votes polled, s majority of the Department was op posed to a salary. The argument is boome rang-like, and is a weapon used by tbe Hon. President which tends to bis own destruction. It was under the supposition that a salary would be accurded the office that Ihe candidate was iaduced to ruD. He bad faitbtully and to tbe satisfaction of all—as bis re-nominstion and indorsement by three companies of the Department prove—served in the offices for ooe year. E'or this be received no compensa tion. By no opposition being urged, we find the best evidence that the Department was willing sod anxious that tbe incumbent should receive the benefit of the salary which they supposed would be attached to tbe office.— There are other points in this connection that should be noticed, but I have already occupied so much of yonr space that, for fear of tiring your readers, I will not raise them. I hope tbe Council will take the matter again under consideration, and do justice—all the Depart ment asks—to one of the moat important offices held under tbe City government. Eirehax.
