At all events, it would be well to wait until we are well informed, or until the first dispatch was corroborated. Mr. Davis, of North Carolina, stated that he dispatch announcing the death of General Johnston was sent to the Adjutant General by General Beauregard. It was emphatic. Mr. Wigfall replied that was so, but Gen. Van-Dorn had also telegraphed on a former occasion that Col. Robert had been killed in battle, when he afterwards turned up alive and is yet alive. In the excitement of a battle-field nothing can be known with positive certainty. On account of the uncertainty, the resolutions were

Mr. Moore, of Kentucky said: M. Speaker — I do not arise for the purpose of detaining the House in any protracted remarks in support of the resolutions ofthe gallant and lamented Johnston, and concluded his appropriate remarks by reading the following letter from Gen.
