FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
--??
Increase ef Rebel Desertions? Demorsi.
izatien of the Rebel Army?Flag ef Trnce.
Information from the Army of the Potomac
as late as yesterday morning, reports all quiet.
Deserters are constantly coming in, and are
more numerous than for a long time. They
have averaged over TO a day for the past week:
among them several officers. The utmost des
pondency prevails through their ranks since
the late fight, and they seem determined to
keep tne field no longer, as they claim they
can never gain their independence, and see no
reason" why they should remain and be all
killed. They tell that deserting is so general
to the rear of their own lines that Lee has is
sued an order to arrest every man found half
a mile from bis camp or post
One man said his company was 30 strong a
week ago, but that 15 had disappeared since?
10 to us and 5 to their homes, many of them
bringing tneir arms.
A flag of truce appeared in front of the 2d
corps on Saturday, asking for the bodies of
some rebel officers killed In the late battle of
Hatcher's K un. Their request was Anally
granted and their bodies conveyed to their
lines.
John Hoefler, i.lth New York, was executed
on Friday for desertion.

Strakopi H'e Concert.?Our musical pub
lic are to have a rare treat in tbe Strakosch
concert to-night and to-morrow night. Max
Strakoech, well known bere as a most enter
prising imprettario, has occupied his leisure
time during a visit to Europe in hnnting up
celebrities to charm cis-atlantic ears, and tbe
fruits of his enterprise are the production of
two new candidates for America?, fa vor?Mlle
Helene deKatow, a lady of thorough musical
education, who has made the violoncello her
speciality, and Mr. Webli, a pianist of renown
and a pupil of Tbalberg. These artists have
been beard in New York, and have achieved a
marked success. M'lle de Katow is said to
perform with the most exquisite taste, ex
pression and technical skill. Mr. Wehli is
Highly commended as a pianist of rare gifts,
and the management, to leave nothing undone
t? add variety to the entertainment, have
in-.ea.ecl the company by the addition of Mr.
Perring, the favorite English tenor, whose
ballad singing is so justly admired, and Miss
Laura Harris, a youug'_?.-t_nt-, who comes
beralded by the praises of the Dome Journal
and the Albion, journals which never indulge
in indiscriminata, puffery.
Tbe Strakosch'. troupe bad a most brilliant
success iu New Yerk aud all the papers in that
city are loud in its praises. The Herald says :
The flret concert of Max Strokosch's new
artists M'lle de Katow. the violoncellist, and
Mr Webli,piaui-t, ux>k place at ? ? bio's Saloon

Thalberg, ana we have no hesitation in saying
that in clearness, delicacy of touch and bold
ness of execution he has not been excelled in
tbis country since Thalberg's time. There is a
quality about Mr. Wehli which is most agree
able, and tbat is the unpretending manner in
which be undertakes his task. There is no
flourish about him He sits at the instrument
with ease and grace, and as be proceeds you
are surprised that one with so little apparent
attention can accomplish so much. His exe
cution, witb tbe left hand alone in the fantasie
from Luna, was a marvel. The andience
showed tneir appreciation of his merits by an
encore to every plec? Mr. Strakosch has given
ns in these two artists something really meri
torious as well as novel, and we presume will
reap bis reward in a continued success."

FROM RICHMOND.
We learn from an intelligent young Mary
lander, who left Kichmond on Wednesday
evening last, at 7 o'clock, in company with six
deserters from the 7th. regiment Confederate
reserves, on local defence duty in that
city, that the greatest consternation exists
there over Sherman movements in South Car
olina, and that it is freely admitted upon the
streets there that Sherman can go wherever he
choses.
Our informant says tbat there is a belief in
Richmond that the city will be evacuated, and
also all the coast cities of the Confederacy, in
a few weeks. The machinery of some of the
large fouruleries in Kichmond has been sent
further South, and medical stores are being
removed: but as this work is generally done
alter night, the citizens of Richmond have no
opportunity to discover where they are being
transferred to, or the extent of the movement.
All the rolling stock of the Petersburg rail
road has been transferred to the Danville rail
road and run oft to some point in North Caro
lina.
Nearly every male inhabitant is compelled
to do military duty, and parties in business, as
soon as they take out license, are considered as
belonging to tbe local defense organization,
and are compelled to do duty when called
upon.
There is much suffering in Richmond among
the poorer classes, they being nuable to pay
tbe exorbitant prices asked for tbe necessary
articles of life. Flour brings _ a?, per barrel,
and sugar is worth M0 per ponte, Confeder
ate mouey. Many of tbe working men (who
get but i*7.50 per day) are unable to pay for
boarding, and are compelled to rely upon the
soup houses for something to eat. The poor
people of Richmond are heartily sick of the
war, and each night hundreds of them run the
picket? and enter the Union lines.
DESTRUCTION OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER
AND CAPTURE OF COTTON.
The Navy Department has received informa
tion from the West Qulf blockading squadron
of the destruction, on the night of the -2d ult.?
of the schooner Delphina, in Carcasien river,
by an expedition from the United States steamer
Cboeura. under command ol Lieut Com'r R.
W. Meade, jr The Delphina hada carco of
108 bales of cotton, some of wbich was thrown
overboard previous to being fired by our ves
sels, and drifted out to sea. About thirty*balee
were subsequently picked up by our boats.
REBEL DESERTERS.
A squad of 110 rebel deserters arrived here
yesterday from City Point, including one offi
cer?Lieut. W. H. Niles, of the 7th Georgia
regiment. Owing to the large number of de
serters now coming into our lines, the Pr-voet
Marshal at City Point is unable to administer
the oath to them, and consequently the duty
has to be performed by Capt. Russell, at Uol.
Ingraham's olii ce, in this city.
TO BE CONSOLIDATED.
Orders have been issued directing the con
solidation of the 1st and 2d District of Colum
bia regiments. The officers to be retained for
the regiments as consolidated, have not been
announced as yet.
ABSIGNED.
Acting Volunteer Lieutenant W. F. Shank.
band has been ordered to the command of the
gunboat Banshee, of the Potomac flotilla,
which is now at the Navy Yard, awaiting an
opportunity to get to her station in the lower
river._
REGULAR VS. VOLUNTEER OFFICER?.
The proposition introduced by Mr. Trum
bull, in the Senate, ?? annul tbe distinct-en of
rank between on.cere of the same grade in the
regular and volunteer foroes, vai today re
jected by a large majority.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Mow dat, February 2a.
SewA-_j.?Mr. Snmner introduced the bill of
which hegive notiee en Satvrday, to repeal the
act to incorporate tne Washington and George
town Railroad Company.
He said tbat on the question of reference- he
desired to make a statement. The 6th section
of the act prcrrldes for the amendment or re
peal o? the charter of the company by Con
gress, at its pleas ?-re. Day by day the company
insisted on violating the law of the land, that
law being as admitted by the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr, Johnson) and the gentleman
from West Virginia (Mr. Willey) that no oor
paration has the rigfcrt to exclude any passenger
on account of color.
Mr. Snmner said he would give an instance
of the violation of the law by this rich and
pampered Corporation, and read &n extract
from a newspaper, stating in substance that as
car No. I was passing along, about 8 o'clock in
the morning, a young woman askod the con
ductor if he allowed colbred persons to ride in
his car, and tbe conductor replying that he did
not know there was a colored person in the
car, proceeded to put ont a woman who was
lighter than the one who made the complaint.
There was an outrage recorded in the journals.
Mr. Su inner alo referred to another instance
given in a letter from an employee in one of
tbe departments, the writer relating he had
seen a soldier, wearing with pride the nniform
of his country, put out of one of the street cars
of the Washington and Georgetown Company,
there being no apparent cause for it except his
color. Mr. Sumner quoted from a recent de
cision of a judge*in California, in a case where
a colored woman brought sui*, for damages for
being refused passage on a road, wherein the
judge instructed the jury that it was a breach
of duty by the defendant, and a verdict of _-500
damages was given for the woman. Yet the
same violation of law was committed here
daily without penalty. If the Corporation of
the city would not see the penalty imposed, tbe
charter of the company should be taken away.
He desired tbe bill to be referred to the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia.
Mr. Saulsbnry said that the very reasons
assigned by the gentleman from Massa
sacnusetts showed that there was uo necessity
for tbe bill. The gentleman bad stated that
tbe law o? the land gave the right to all persons
to ride in tbe cars. If so, the party aggrieved
bad aremedy at. law, and there was no ne
cessity for this proposed, legislation. If a
white passenger were socbided would any one
think of proposing a repeal of the charter of
the company?of ?proposing to invoke the
powerful aid of the Congress of the United
states to redress the wrong and enforce the
remedy ! Certainly not. He also thought it
high time, however, that the Senate should do
something for the poor degraded white man,
instead oi' devising so much special legislation
in regard co the negro.
Mr Brown coincided with Mr. ?Sumner in
his views, and be thought it was time this
railroad corporation was compelled to regard
the laws, and not violate then, continuously in
the face of the power which created it.
The bill was then referred to the District of
Columbia Committee.
On motion of Mr. Sherman, the amendatory
internal revenne bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Finance, and ordered to be printed.
On motion ot Mr. Wilson, the vote by w hiebt.
the army appropriation bill was passe>d en
Saturday was reconsidered.
Ho cub.?Mr. Ancona offtred a preamble?
whereas it is alleged a system of substitute
brokerage is practiced in the jail of this county,
by the officers in charge, namely: Roben Beale,
warden, and Benedict Milburn, deputy war
den, and Messrs Fay.man and Robiason,
guards, and others, putting in the military ser
vice a* substitutes persons under arrest and
held to trial lor criminal orTeuces, thus doing
injustice to the Government and. the axmy;
therefore,
Resolved, That the Committed for too Dis
trict ot Columbia inquire into tbe fact ed' the
said allegation, and report the same to the
House. *
Mr. Davis, of New York, remarked that
that Committee are already investigating simi
lar allegations.
The resolution was passed.
Mr. Fernando Wood offered a resolution,
which lies over, requesting the Secretary ot the
Treasury to consider the expediency of send
ing to foreign markets, for sale, all captured
cotton in order to strengthen our public credit
and reduce premium on gold, and thus taciu
ta te exchanges.
Mr. Cox ottered a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of tbe Treasury to inform the House
what amount of gold in the Treasury, net ne
cessary for the payment of interest on the pub
lic debt and for tbe sinking fund, has been dis
posed of under the joint resolution of March
17,16*34, what amount was sold, who were the
agents, and the price obtained.

River News.?Tne Potomas river is open
again, and the propeller Black Diamond ar
rived up yesterday from City Point. She re
ports much floating ice in the river below Fort
Wasnmgtou, but tn. greatest difficulty expert
enced by vessels is at the bends in the river
where tbe ice has lodged. Tbe Diamond will
go down again to-day with salted pork and
beef lor army use.
The propellerTilly will also sail ?t>.dav, with
a cargo ot horses and mules for B_aui.it, and
the mail boats plying between this place and
City Point will resume their trips to morrow,
the steamer Daniel Webster leaving itere at the
usual hour?3 o'clock p. m.
The Alexandria and Washington ferry boats
resumed their trips yesterday, and are run
ning to-day, but not on regular time, owing to
large quantities of ice blocked up at tbo mouths
ot tbe channels opposite Oiesboro.

New G???e?????t Bcit-dino.?The- new
building at the corner of 22d and I stre-ts, for
the accommodation of detailed men, employed
as clerks in the Ciuartermaster's Department,
is rapidly approaching completion, and? will
be ready for occupation in a few days. The
architecture of the structure is not inferior
to any building erected bv the Government
during the war, and when painted will add
very materially to the appearance of that
neighborhood. Ample accommodation, are
provided for over two hundred clerk., the
rooms being adapted for four persons in each.
Two large reception rooms, a library, ?light
bath rooms, and a fine dining hall are conve
niently arranged, and will equal in comfort
th_se of any hotel. The balls are spacious and
the apartments ventilated most admirably.
Gas ia introduced into each room, the court is
to be graveled and laid out for grass plats aod
shrubbery, and the whole to be surrounded by
a neat fence
Hitherto detailed clerks have received over
two dollars per day as commutation of rations,
fuel and quarters. By this arraugemer.., all
these things will be f urnieheu at a large saving
to the Government, and with Increased com
tort to the clerks. To Col. Ludington, Chief
Quartermaster of the Department, who devised
this plan, great credit is due. not only for the
care exercised in procuring everything neces
sary to make such an institution attractive and
homelike to its inmates, but for the energy dis
played in pushing the work forward to early
completion, under the personal supervision of
master carpenter Alard, the buildings tras been
erected in an almost incredibly short time, and
all the detailed clerks are on the 71*. rive in
anticipation of moving into their new ?uartevs.

such a freshet, bringing down the ice. would
be very dangerous to tbe lower sections, an l
might so damage the canal as to delay navig.

ordered by the Canal Commissioners that the
