om each body--16 in all He therefore bored for the present to lay the resolution on the table, in the meanwhile to wait for the report of the Military Committee. Mr. Sparrow thought it better to act upon the resolution now. It covers a great many other important subjects, upon all of which the Congress ought to act speedily. Still the question should be inquired into whether it is expedient, or whether our form of government permits this kind of joint action upon great measures. Mr. Clark said that under these circumstances and considerations he would withdraw his motion to lay on the table. Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, renewed the motion, and thought the adoption of this resolution would not expedite the action of Congress; it was more calculated to retard. He believed these special committees were the curses of legislation. He never knew any good to some of them or of large committees. Mr. Brown, of Mist., thought the appointment of a special committee, such as c

egiment has taken one Federal battery, and several others have been captured. Col. Williams, of Memphis, were killed. General Prentiss, who was captured, says they had 35,000 men on the field are eighteen batteries, nearly all of which have been captured. Gen. Buell had a portion of his force at Duck River. We have the enemy's camp, and all their ammunition, stores, &c. The battle was a very severe one--loss on both sides very heavy. The fighting is still going on. Gen. Polk is in the advance. Generals Prentiss, Grant, Shernean, McClernand, Wallace, and Smith, command the Federals. Gen. Smith was sick. Two thousand prisoners have been taken and sent to our rear. It is reported here that our men are fighting Buell to-day. Gen. Clark and Col. Brown, of Miss., and Col. Richards, of o., were wounded. The Federals have been driven to the river, and are attempting to cross on transports. Many prisoners are still being brought in.

— the Crittenden proposition — was introduced. The Southern Senators, including Benjamin, Toombs, Iverson, and a list of others, pretended that the measure passed the South would be satisfied; but they desired everything else in compromise. Senator Clark offered an amendment which he believed would be acceptable to the South. I had critically pace with the pretenders. Their pretext was only to disguise their real intention. When the vote was put on Clark's amendment — mark will — only 55 Clark's amendment — mark will — only 55 ballots were recorded. The amendment was adopted by to votes, thus defeating the original compromise. Who is responsible for this work destruction? Six Southern Senators standing and refusing to record their votes. If a Crittenden compromise had been adopted they would have been deprived of a pretext for their treason. Judah Benjamin, is speaking this and perjurer, and in unconscionable traitor, was sealed me while the vote was being taken. I told him it was his duty to come the

Latest from the Southwest. Savannah, April 11.--A special dispatch to the Republican, from "P. W. A., at Corinth, says that on the 7th the enemy was reinforced by 7,000 men, and renewed the fight. The Confederates repulsed them twice. At 10 o'clock further reinforcements were brought up by Gen. Buell. The battle raged with varying fortune. Gens. Cheatham, Bowen and Clark were wounded. We took 2,000 prisoners. The loss on both sides was heavy. At nine o'clock P. M. the enemy was heavily reinforced, and Beauregard fell back. The Confederates fought two days, the enemy being constantly reinforced. On the 8th both sides were too badly worsted to renew the fight. April 10--The number of Confederates killed is much loss than was at first supposed. The number of wounded is comparatively slight. Prisoners are still arriving, nearly ,000 have already been brought in, including about 200 officers. The Confederates firmly hold their position. The me

rts from foreign countries, except the United States, was taken up. The report of the committee was adverse to the bill. The bill was transferred to the select calendar. A bill to suppress drunkenness in the Confederate States Army — providing for cashiering any Confederate States officer found to be drunk, either on or off duty — was called up. The bill also provides for the disenfranchisement of all officers convicted of drunkenness, and differs from the existing law in that it punishes for drunkenness on or off duty. An amendment of the Committee on Military Affairs was reported with the bill, modifying it, and providing simply for expulsion of drunken officers without disenfranchising them from the service forever thereafter. The merits of the bill were discussed by Messrs. Wigfall, of Texas; Clay, of Alabama; Clark, of Missouri; Burnett, of Ky.; Oak. of S. C., and Yangry of The vote being taken, the amendments were agreed to and the bill passed. Adjourne

bouts and forces of Buell. I believe that Buell is near at hand. It is to be hoped I am mistaken, and that our men, who have already fought twelve long hours, may not have to encounter a fresh force to-morrow. I am unable to approximate the number killed and wounded on either side. The loss upon the part of both must be very heavy, though not so great as it would have been but for the protection afforded by the tress. Among our wounded are Gens. Cheatham, Bushrod Johnson, Bowen, Clark, and Gladden--the first five not seriously. Gen. Gladden, who commanded the right wing of Hardee's corps, lost his left arm; Gen. Cheatham received a ball in the shoulder, and Gen. Bushrod Johnson one in the side. General Bowen was wounded in the neck, and doing well at last accounts. Colonel Adams, of the 1st. Louisiana regulars, succeeded General Gladden in the command of the right wing, and was soon after shot, the ball striking him just above the eye and coming out behind the ear. Col

e soldiers in the gallery. The President problem (Mr. Ore) desired the gentleman to cease, and instantly ordered the disorderly persons in the gallery to be removed by the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Wigfall, of Texas.--I hope, Mr. President, we will do more than turn them out. Applause in the galleries of the Senate is something that might be expected from the mob at Washington, but which I did not think could occur in this country, and it should be punished on the first offence. Mr. Clark, of Mo.--Oh no, do not be harsh with it. It was merely admiration of excellent sentiments expressed out of time and place, and perhaps inexpressible. Mr. Yancey himself approved the sentiment, and urged the gentleman from Texas to make some little allowances for liberty. Mr. Wigfall--Yes; but if you permit applause you will afterwards have to endure hisses, and moreover I want it distinctly understood that this is no public arena. Several gentlemen interjected remarks in beh
