they went within their lines. They also report that, when any man fell from his horse, his comrades would get down and pick him up and throw him across the saddles by that means depriving as from finding out how many of the Federal troops were killed. I must say one thing, that, from the marks of their firing which I have seen, they fired very badly, and if that is their best, we have very little to fear from it. Col.Ewell, fearing another attack on Sunday morning, made a requisition on Gen. Bonham, at Manassas Station, for more troops, who immediately dispatched the Governor's Mounted Guard, Hanover Troops, Chesterfield, and Amelia Troop, and at 7 o'clock Saturday evening at review, gave orders for four companies of the First Regiment to prepare to leave immediately. Accordingly, companies B. D. G and K. under command of Major Munford, embarked about 8 o'clock, and, after some little delay in getting cars sufficient for our accommodation, we started for Fairfax Station, at which,

Arrival. --Col. Adles, who led a regiment under Garibaldi in Italy, last year, arrived in Richmond yesterday, for the purpose of offering his services to the Confederate Government. Strong efforts were made to induce him to enter the army at the North, but he preferred to fight for a free people, and has, therefore, after encountering various difficulties, succeeded in reaching Virginia. He exhibits scars received in battle under his distinguished chief in Europe, and is ready now to defend a people who are here engaged in a struggle for independence. His interviews with Gens. Beauregard, Bonham, and others, in the neighborhood of Manassas, are represented to have been highly gratifying.

A caucus was held to-night, at which it was ascertained that a large majority of the Legislature are for immediate secession by State action. An immense crowd assembled this evening at the Congaree House and serenaded Senator Chesnut. He spoke long and eloquently, declaring the last hope of the Union gone and resistance unavoidable. The speech was enthusiastically received, because Mr. Chesnut was hitherto uncommitted. It is rumored that Senator Hammond will follow suit. Messrs. Bonham, Rhett, ex-Gov. Adams and others spoke also in the same strain. [by Telegraph.] Charleston, Nov. 7. --The U. S. Judge for this district resigned his office this morning in open court. Columbia, S.

passing through, or temporarily sojourning in, a free State, and when the slave is stolen, the master to be indemnified. The resolution of Mr. Smith, of Virginia, instructs the Committee to inquire into the propriety of declaring out of the Union such States as by legislation aim to nullify the acts of Congress. The resolution of Mr. Jenkins, of Va., inquires into the expediency of rendering the fugitive slave law more effective, or when it fails, to compensate the owner for the loss of his slave, and provides by amending the Constitution to protect the rights of slaveholders in the Territories. The resolution of Mr. Noel, of Mo., provides for abolishing the office of President, and substituting a council of three, with power to veto measures against slavery. Several bills of no general importance were passed. Adjourned. Mr. Bonham, of S. C., has resigned his position as a member of the Committee on Military Affairs, saying he is going home for a few days.

ts nullifying laws be repealed, &c. Mr. Larrabee offered a resolution recommending the several States to call a Convention for making amendments to the Constitution, to the end that the people may thus be enabled to confer together, in the manner provided in the establishment of the government, and adopt such measures as, in their wisdom, may be proper to promote the common welfare of the States. The above propositions were severally read and referred to the Union Committee. Mr. Bonham said he had received a notice to attend a meeting of the Committee on Military Affairs on Friday. As he did not expect to remain much longer a member of Congress, he felt it due to resign his position as a member thereof, in order that the vacancy may at once be filled. He did not adopt this course owing to any dissatisfaction with the Committee; he should always cherish a lively recollection of their uniform and courteous kindness toward him. He was excused. The House passed t

mbled on the battery, where a salute of one hundred guns was fired by a detachment of the Chatham Artillery, in honor of the action of the South Carolina Convention. In the evening our streets were illuminated with bonfires, around which thronged large crowds, filling the air with their cheers, and thus saying to Carolina that we are with her in our hearts and our souls, and, if need be, with our arms. The South Carolina Delegation. Several friends of Messrs. McQueen, Ashmore, and Bonham, including Messrs. Colfax, Grow, Covode, and other members from the Republican side of the House, visited them in their seats.

Complimentary dinner. --We understand that a party of gentlemen in this city have extended an invitation to Messrs. Ashmore, McQueen, Bonham and Boyce, members of Congress from South Carolina, who resigned their seats as soon as they heard of the passage of the Secession Ordinance by their State, to accept a dinner in this city on Wednesday next. The letter of invitation was mailed last Saturday night, and will probably be answered this afternoon.

the Republicans asked more time before voting on the resolutions before it. Toombs refused to grant the request, and every proposition was voted down. Toombs and Crittenden were the only two who voted for Crittenden's resolutions. The attitude of the Republicans causes a most depressing effect on the whole committee. A report prevails that the Administration has received dispatches from Charleston to the effect that a revenue cutter had arrived in that neighborhood, and unless orders were immediately given for her withdrawal, South Carolina would seize upon her and take the Government forts. Nothing, however, has been received from Charleston confirmatory of the fact. Hon. Caleb Cushing returned yesterday from Charleston. His report was considered important enough for an immediate Cabinet consultation. Mr. Bonham, member of Congress from South Carolina left to-day for his home in that State. McQueen will go in the morning, and Mr. Boyce will start early next week.

Congressional. Washington, Dec. 21,-- House.--The Speaker laid before the House a letter, signed by Messrs. Boyce, McQueen, Ashmore and Bonham, of South Carolina, saying that they take the earliest opportunity since the reception of official intelligence that the people of South Carolina, in their sovereign capacity, have resumed the powers they have heretofore delegated to the Federal Government, to dissolve their connection with the House of Representatives. In taking leave of their late associates in Congress, they express feelings of respect, and the hope that they may continue to enjoy friendly relations. The letter was ordered to be printed. Mr. Morris, of Ill., offered a resolution looking to an investigation of the recent abstraction of funds by Bailey, of the Interior Department; but withdrew it.
