February 21.—The Auditor having decided that picket duty does not come within the meaning of the law granting pensions to those wounded in battle,. a bill was reported from the Military Committee, so amending the act as to meet the case of those wounded while performing such duty. Bills relating to Indian affairs, and that establishing a Freed men's Bureau, were under discussion. No action was reached. February 22.—The Committee on the Ju diciary asked to be discharged from the farther consideration of the petition for the recognition of Christianity in the Constitution of the United States. No action was taken. The same committee reported against the proposal for a Constitutional amendment permitting Congress to tax exports. The Military Committee reported back the House bill for constructing ship canals around Ni agara Falls, and from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, with a substitute, authorizing surveys with a view to construction. The bill establishing a Bureau for Freedmen was taken up, when the report of the Committee of Conference on the disagreement between the two houses was rejected, and a new com mittee ordered. February 23. —The question of Louisiana was taken up, but no progress was made ex cept to reject an amend,ment proposed by Mr. Sumner, allowing no representation in Con gress from any of the States declared to be in insurrection by the President's proclamation of August, .186.1,. until after a counter pro clamation declaring hostilities within such States at an end, and the adoption by such States of a republican government, not re pugnant to the Constitylion and laws and a vote of Congress declaring them entitled, to representation. February 24.—A resolution was adopted instructing the Finance Committee to con sider the expediency of so enlarging the powers of the ,Bureau of Emigration as to afford relief to Southern refugees in the Northern States. A bill was passed giving to the surviving soldiers of the Esvolutionary War,, five in number, a gratuity of $3OO each. The Fortification Appropriation bill from the House was passed, after so amending it as to exclude appropriations for works on the Pa cific and Northern Atlantic coast. The Louisi ana` question occupied considerable of the day. No vote: February . 25. The Louisiana question again coming. up, Mr. Sumner offered a se ries of resolutions as a substitute for the Re port of the Judiciary Committee on the 'sub pct. The resolutions assert the duty of the United States to re-establish, by act of Con gress, at the earliest consistent moment, re publican governments in the States -where loyal government has been vacated by rebel lion, and that no lawful State goyim nment can there be re-established, except by such act of Congress. They also maintain that, in the the absence of any Constitutional defini tion of "republican government" Congress should recognize the "self-evident truth" that all men should be equal before the law, and therefore, refuse to allow the re-esta blishment of any State government which ig,- nores that principle, and thus prevent the oligarchical classes from again overwhelming loyal majorities. A stormy discussion en sued, but no vote was reached. February 27.--The proposal to recognize the Louisiana State government was, after debate, postponed to take yeas 34, nays 12 Er- HOUSE Or REPRESENTATIVES February 21. The bill providing a govern ment for. the States subverted or overthrown by, the rebellion, was taken up, and after further discussion, was laid on the table, by a vote of 91 to 65. [This, we suppose, gives to the very , important matter embraced in the bill, the to-by for the present session. The bill was framed to prevent the States now in rebellion from coming "into Congress next December, dictatorially clamoring for the admission of their Senators and Repre sentatives on the old footing. It ;provided for them aprovisional government, out of which new State governments conformed to the present complexion of the Union should grow. This was the more important, as it is now pretty certain that the Constitutional Amendment will not be constitutionally rati fied before that time.] The House, by a vote of 82 to 49 resolved that A. P. , Field, applicant from Louisiana for a seat, be pub- Hely reprimanded by , the Speaker for his late brutal assault upon Judge Kelley. • February 22. In accordance with yeSter day's resolution, Mr. Field was brought be fore the bar of. the House, and impressively reprimanded by the Speaker, after which he was discharged from custody. The Commit tee on the judiciary reported the Fenate re solution to promote enlistments in the army by declaring the wives and children of such colored men as enter the service forever free, any usage, law, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, and declaring married such men and women as have lived together in that character. The resolution was passed by a strict party vote, 74 to 63. The Judi ciary Committee 'reported a bill removing so much of the provision of a former confisca tion law as prohibits the forfeiture of real es tate beyond the natural life of the person forfeiting. February 23'. The bill reported yesterday making the confiscation of the real estate of rebels perpetual t wasassed, 72 to 71. The Indian Appropriation Hill was taken up, but no action taken except to reject an amend ment that all money due to the Indians un der the Treaty stipulations shall be payable in coin—only 22 voting in the affirmative. February 24. The resolution from the Sen ate, directing inquiry into the treatment of the Indian tribes by civil and military au thorities was passed, with an amendment re qtdring the President instead of Congress to appoint the Committee. The Enrollment Bill was taken up, and three votes had—one meeting a proposed amendment striking out the clause which secures credit for an enlisted soldier to the locality where he resides, with out reference to the place of his enlistment; another striking out the section which makes a principal liable for his substitute; and another adding a new section which declares that the mustering of a substitute shall be conclusive in favor of the principal, exempt ing from military service for the term for which he was drafted. February 25. The Enrollment Bill was again before the House. Among the amend ments adopted was one providing that a man drafted for one year, by putting in a substi tute for three years, shall be exempt for that whole period. Also another providing that if a substitute has been mustered in as such, 'int shall be afterwards found that he Was, when presented, non conipos mends or other wise unfit ter duty, the principal shall be held liable to kwrvie, provided he is notified there of within thirty days after the mustering in of the - February 27. The amendatory tariff bill was iOtrodected. It propose's' but a few alter adoos as Lb:lows; 50c. per gallon to be paid on li, l uorb; bilk, spun or reeled, -10 pea ct., .gad uul.:.; cotton, se. per ~lb. ; illuminating tor bituminous substances for illumination, c. per gallon ; tobacco sterna, 15c. per lb. ; ready made clothing of silk or silk stuff 60 per et., ad vat. ; bar iron, or railroad iron fitted to be laid down, 15e. per 100 lbs. ; tonnage duty, 30 instead of 100. ; goods the value of which is computed by.the sq. yard, 20 per a., ad vat. The Senate amendment reducing the fortification estimates one half was concurred - in. An appropriation of $160,000 for the enlargement of the Congres sional library *as 'passed. The amendments to the , navy-appropriation bill were passed. The amendatory enrollment bill was passed. $l5OO were voted to a lady in the rebel lines for concealing and protecting Col. Streight. ,The loan bill was,discussecl. Our report of last week closed with the bloodless capture of - Columbia and Charles ton. Our - forces took possession of the latter city on the morning of the 18th ult. On the same day the old flag was given to the breeze over the walls of Fort Sumpter; the spot where it was first -lowered- by, rebel attack. The rebels, before leaVing' Charleston, fired= the upper part of the ciV, burning six thou-. sand bales of cotton. Two , hundred guns, spiked, were left behind. Only the poorer parts of the population were found remain ing, and , these were suffering for want of food. The negroes especially were suffering," and hailed our troops with demonstrations of boy. The lower part of the city, which has een so long within reach of our fire from James' Island was almost in ruins. The next of the, rapid series of our achiev ments, under God's favor, was the capture of Fort. Anderson, the biet strong- hold outlying Wilmin,gton. It came into our possession on the 19th, after a bombardment from Adniral Porter's fleet commencing on the..l7th, and land attacks from , the troops under General Schofield. Resistance was' maintained' until the latter moved toward, a position which, if obtained, would cut-off the retreat of the garrison. Thisroduced a sudden evacuation and skedaddle ; for Wilmington'. Ten heavy guns and a quantity of ammunition were left behind. Our losses were very small: - On Friday came the intelligence that Wilmington is ours, thus completing the res toration of the whole sea-board line of cities, Mobile alone excepted—an exception pro bably short-lived, and to the rebels of no practical account while we hold the harbor with its forts. We took possession of Wil mington on the 22d ult.—a fine act of cele bration of the day—the rebels retiring_ on the advance of our troops on both sides of the river, under Generals Cox and Terry. An ineffectual attempt to make a stand, about four miles below the city, resulted in our capturing some guns, and 300 prisoners at that point,. The captures there, and at Fort Anderson and Wilmingten are . about 700 prisoners,. and 39 . The r,ebel,s, on, leer ing Wilmington, bnrned over 1000 bales of cotton, ;and about 15,000 barrele.of flour. The Union feeling'showed itself quiff strong in the ; ity. Gmi - EBAT, Sifaux&N. Concerning the further movements of this commander, the Richmond papers, of the 21st announce the occupation of Camden, S. C.,- foity riffles north of Columbia, by him on the Saturday previous. In this connection we, may copy the Richmond Dispatch's programme fbr his further march, with its comments upon the same, simply wondering at the incurableness of the folly of the rebels in attempting to tell what Sherman is going to do. ". Sherman," says the Dispatch, " can only be checked by An immediate concentration in his trent of all our troops, both in North and South Caro- and his present expedition _broken up.l If he is not defeated, he will march straight up the , railroad to Charlotte, thence to Salisbury,' thence to Greensboro! and Danville, and so on to Richmond. Many*different estimates have been made of Sherman's arm. Sume think he has sixty thousand men. We know he has four full army corps, and a strong force of cavalry. His corps will not number less than twelve thousand men." ill was read, de- What, in the mean while are the, armies around Richmond doing? Nothing to pro voke a battle, but, according to the better policy,. everything to strengthen and extend their lines and reduce the opportunities of the rebels within the city to communicate with their friends, and obtain means of war fare or support. A rumor got wind on Thursday, that Lee had attacked Grant and defeated him—to what extent vras not stated. It was probably a creation of the gold gam blers. At all events theremas no truth in. it. Nashville dates of Feb. 23 report an in tense excitement at Knoxville, arising from intelligence received that Lingstreet was marching on that place. General Roberts, conimanding at IliemphiV . has issued an order denying any recognition of the finding of bills of indictment by the Grand Jury, against certain persons • who have accepted the President's -proclamation. It announces the intention of the military , authorities to view all persons complying with' the requirements of the proclamation of Am nesty, of December, 1863, and keeping them in good faith, as fully pardoned of crimes of 'conspiracy, treason, and rebellion against the Federal Government, and as not liable for trial therefor by any tribunal, civil or mili tary. - Memphis dates of Feb. 26,.5ay the rebel leaders have recently issued orders to have all detachments of their troops in. West Ten nessee, together with suer'. conscripts as they have gathered, sent south without dela.y.— We have reason to believe that a large, por tion of the rebel forces lately about Memphis have already gone.. Their destination is said t i be Mobile. A raid into.Arkanses developes the fact that much suffering exists from a scarcity of food. Since the newaof Sherman's entry into Co lumbia, S. C., and his subsequent movement after the retreating rebel army towards Char 1 7, - lotte N. C. Feb. the rebels seem to know nothing of „Ids movements. Ere keeps his army enveloped in a cloud of cavalry, stretch ing out on every side, and completely befogg ing the enemy as to the point he would strike. The Charlottee (North Carolina) Bulletin, of - the 21st says Sherman's forces had not appeared there yet. The rebels seem even to have remained in ignorance of the occupation of Charleston by our troops for a week after the, event. Richmond papers are bitter in denouncing the rebel Senate for refusing to pass the bill to arm-the slaves. The North Carolina papers found in Wil mington, 'show a decided spirit of hostility to Jeff. Davis and rebel rule. The Raleigh Pro gress speaks in the most complimentary terms of Shernaan's grand advance,_ applauds his rule at SaVannah, and states that honorable terms of peace were offered by. President Lincoln to the Rebel Commissioners. Gold is steady, at about 200 ITEMS." The coal monopolists of Rochester, N. Y., have been presented to the Grand Jury for indictment, for combining to maintain exor bitant prices.—Within the last few days, desertions from the rebel army have been un usually numerous.

A colony of Mormons are preparing to plant a , large quantity in confident expectation of realizing profit.— General Butler, meeting Judge Kelley, the day after Field stabbed him, said he regarded the assault as an earnest desire to restore, the Union as it was.—Henry/Ward Beeoher, under date of February 4, snt the following characteristic note to Wm. oyd Garrison : "My Dzsu Ma.

So long as I was in a state of nature, I con sented to have a free gospel preached to me.

PETROLEUM NOT A NEW DIdOOVERY.—We stated, a short time since, on the authority B of a urmah student in this country, that Petroleum had been in use for centuries in Burinah. We have now the following ac count, " remarkable, if. true :" "Last year Colonel Gowan, of Boston,' . the gentleman . who had the contract for ,getting up the sunken Russian ships in • the harbor of Sdha,stopol, was coming down from St. Petersburg through Georgia and Cireassia, when, in /the neighbor ' hood: of the Sea of Azof, he i stumbled upon some oil wells j which the natives were work in 'in a very indifferent way, and -which! the Colonel bought. He then eat to Paris and LondOn, organized a compan ; sent out men ..tO work the wells, and ships to carry to London'and Liverpool the products, and they dv i are now paying handsome •vidends; But what is more suroriting still, a Colonel, in returning lately from the Blac Sea to Paris, stopped on the way at the isl rid of Samos, on the - eastern shore-of the editerranean, where he found and-bought a other oil well. 4 s Whit is still more enrious, l his well was spoken of by lierodotus, the great.
