We perceive that a bill bus been report ed in the State Senate authorizing the is sue of small notes by the bauks to th n amount of 50 percent, of their capital.— We trust there is honesty enough iu the Legislature to crush this project; but should it pass both houses, we hope Gov. Curtin will not hesitate a moment iu veto ing it. The small notes already in circu lation have almost driven gold dollars and adver coin out of sight, although it is well known that there is more gold arid silver in the I nited .States' by millions than was ever held before. .should such a bill become a law, the wild eat batiks wouiu be the first to take advantage of it, and flood the State with an irresponsible trash which people would be compelled to take out of uece.-ify, but every man would part with as soon as possible; and then, when tho day of reckon ing conies, the public will have to bear the loss. If more small notes arc to be issued, let the State put them out. These the people would not only cheerfuiiy take, but ttecp for the purpose of paying taxes — while no oue will lay aside the present small notes, because there is no security whatever that when wanted they will be worth anything. PROCEEDNRES OF CONGRESS. In the Senate on the 11th Mr. Johnson, of lennessee, presented the petition of cit izens of riiiladelphia asking that on the approaching anniversary of Washington's Birthday his Farewell Address be read in both Houses of Congress, and so furaspos sible to the Army and Navy. Mr. John- s.on presented a resolution in accordance with the petition, which was passed. Mr. Rico, of Minnesota, introduced a bill au thorizing the District Banks to issue small iiot&i. Mr. Grimes reported a bill from ! vhe District Committee for the same pur pose. A resolution reinstating Lieutenant Charles Hunter as a commander in the ; Navy was passed. Mr. Sumner submitted resolutions remanding the rebellious States 1 to ti;e condition of Territories and declaring j that slavery therein was thus rendered ille gal. The fortification bill was amended by inaamg appropriations for the defense of Portland, Maine, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and of the mouths of Tennes see river, Kentucky and Columbia river. Oregon. After some further discussion of the bill the Senate found itself without a quorum and adjourned. in t..e House Mr. Conkling introduced resolutions directing the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War to investigate certain charges of treachery by which it was alleged that the countersign of the Array and information of military move ment'; had been communicated to the Reb els. ihe House, alter considerable dis cussion, nee ded that Hon. Joseph Segar v>as not entitled to a seat as representative of the Congressional District of Virginia. The Senate on the 12th p.-.ssed the For tification bill. The llou.se bill for the issue of §150,000,000 Treasury notes and ma king them a legal tender was taken up with the amendments proposed by the Sen ate Finance Committee. The amendments were all adopted, but no final vote taken on the bill. Among t' e amendments are:— do strike out the declaration that the au thorization to issue SI 50,000,000 is to meet the necessities of the Treasury and to pro vide a currency receivable for the public dues, and to insert that the notes shall be receivable in payment of all public dues, and demands of every description, and of ail claims and demands against the Caited States of every kind whatsoever, except for inteicat upon bonds and notes, which shall be paid in coin, and shall also be law- Oil money and a legal teuder in payment i f ail debts, public and private, within the United Statc3, except interest *% aforesaid- The Committee also propose a new sec tion authorizing the Secretary to receive from any person or corporation L nited States notes on deposit for not less tban thir ty (lavs, in sums not less than five hundred dollars, with any ot the Assistant Treasu rers or designated depositories authorized by the Secretary to receive them, who shall issue therefor certificates of deposit, bear- ing interest at the rate of five percent, per annum, and interest to cease at the pleas ure of the Secretary ; and the aggregate of such deposits shall at no time exceed the amount of §25,000,000 : Providing, that all duties in imported goods, the proceeds of the sa'es of public iands, and the proceeds of all property seized and sold under the laws of the United States, as property of i Rebel?, shall be set apart as a special fund ' to be applied, first, to the payment in coin { of the interest of the debt of the United States; second, to the purchase or payment of one .per cent, of the entire debt, to be I made within each fiscal year after the Ist of July, 1*62, and to be set apart as a sinking fund, the interest of which shall be applied to the purchase or payment of the public debt as the Sacretary shall from time to time decide; and third, the residue thereof to be paid into the treasury of the United States. The House directed the arrest of the notorious Henry Wykoff, an attache of the Nour York Herald, for refusing to-tes tify before the Congressional Investigating Committee. He was brought before the bar of rhe House aud questioned as to/rom whom he received the President's Message before it was sent to Congress, lie refus ed to reply and was committed to the cus tody of the Sergeant at-Arms. .fl?i the Senate on the 13th, Mr. Morrill, trout the Committee on District Affairs, re ported a bill for the emancipation of the staves of the District, with compensation to loyal owners. The Treasury note bili was taken up and finally passed—yea 3 30, nays 0. Mr. Collamer moved to strike out the leiral tender clause, but it was rejected —ayes 17, nays 22. The Lill goes beck to the House for action on the Senate amendments, the most important of which is that providing that the interest on the National loan shall be paid in coin. The House referred the Senate amendments to the Civil Appropriation bill to a Com mittee of Conference. The Naval Appro priation bill was discussed in Committies of the Whole and reported to the House for action. In the Senate on the 14th, there was but little business of interest transacted.— The bill authorizing the appointment of a Warden for the Washington Jail, having tor its object to prevent the Marshal of the District of Columbia making it a piace of confinement for runaway slaves, was pas sed. The bill regulating emoluments of officers of the army was discussed and fin ally Hid over; when, after a short execu tive session, the Senate adjourna l to Mon day. The House resumed the consideration o: the Naval Appropriation. Amendments appropriating $ 15,000,000 for the construc tion of additional gunboats, and §1,000,- 000 to increase the manufacture of ordnance nt the Washington Nary Yard were adopt ed, and the bill passed. Mr. Wykoff, lur ing purged himself of contempt was order ed to be discharged from custody. The resolution for the observance of Washing ton's birthday by Congress and the army was passed. The House adjourned to Monday. ihe Senate on Monday passed the bill appropriating 82,800,000 for the Oregon Vi ar debt. Senator Latham introduced a bill for the survey of a telegraph line from San I-rancisco to the northwest coast, over land, via Behring's Straits and Asiatic Russia, to the mouth of the Ataoor River, as proposed by McDonald Collins. The scheme is to connect the American system of telegraphs, from a point in Missouri, with the line now being constructed from Kazan to the Amoor. When finished, the line mil bring in telegraphic union the whole European and American systems, and belt the world. The Military Com mittee asks for an appropriation of §IOO,O - and two small vessels, in order to make the preliminary survey. The enterprise vriil be under the direction of the President, and other nations will be invited to partici pate in it. The bill for the reorganization o. the cavalry regiments was discussed, amended so as to limit the number of reg imen to forty, but not finally acted upon. gsaj-Among tho news from the Burnside expedition is the intelligence that 0. Jennings Wise, son of that double dyed traitor Henry A. Wise of Virginia, has ended his career. That State is well rid of that noted traitor, bully, and duelist, and if the father will y;t be caught living and hung on the same gal lows where John Brown met his fate for d ing precisely what Wise is doing now, it will be a useful lesson in history to all future cut throats who bring the horrors of civil war on our country. (iItKAT ISIf VICTORIES The great victory of the war has been accomplished, and the national flag was placed on Sunday morning by our victori ous troops over Fort Donelson. 'he Fort surrendered at nine o'clock on cunday lnorning to the land forces under General U. S. Grant, the gunboats nut taxing part in the final assault. The loss of life on both sides was severe, necessarily so upon ours in taking by assault a position so strongly fortified. *V hiKi this must be re gretted, it is also to be gloried in a? estab lishing beyond all future cavil the bravery and steadiness of our soldiers, to take a fortified position by assault is wors to try the nerve of veterans, and when accom plished by volunteers, iri the face of a re sistance alike able and desperate, it speaks well tor the spirit of both officers and men. The force within the l'<>rt is stated at from twenty to thirty thousand men Commodore Footo, in his official despatch, states that we have taken fifteen thousand prisoners, and that the rebel Floyd and five thousand men escaped from the Fort during the night previous to the assault. \mong the nota ble prisoners taken are Major General A1 bcrt Sidney Johnston and Gen. Bnckiaer. The loss of Gen. Johnston is a serious one to the rebels. Though less popular than Beauregard, competent judges pGced him far ahead of that General in military knowl edge and skill. His presence in Fort Don elson shows that he regarded the holding of that point its the most important work to which he could devote himself. Gen. Buckner was the leading spirit in endeav oring to precipitate the State of Kentucky into the Secession whirlpool. Gen. Floyd was in the Fort, but, true to the base in stincts of the man, deserted his com; anions, and, with his whole brigade stole away in the night. It is an appropriate punishment that his fellow rebels denounce him a., a traitor and a coward. Some of the de spatches mention Gen Pillow as present, but if so he deserted with Floyd. Besides the Fort and prisoners we have captured an immense amount of military stores, in- eluding three thousand horses. The assault on the lower end of the works was led by Gen. Smith in person, and he was first inside the fort. The pris oners are being sent to Cairo. Our loss is stated at three hundred killed and six hundred wounded. We lose a large per centage of officers. The rebel loss is less as they fought behind en trench men ts. — The final assault and the first entrance in to the fort was made at the point of the bayonet. The rebels lose 48 field pieces, 17 heavy guns, 20,000 stand of arms, besides a large quantity of commissary stores. Three Illinois Lieut. Colonels were killed, and three Colonels wounded. The Illinois regiments were principally engaged. Com. Foote, with the iron courage and pertiuaeity of purpose which characterizes the man, is already prepared to push for ward the advantages gained at Fort Don 1- son. Though suffering from a wound he has before this moved up the Cumberland towards Clarkstillc with the iron gunboats and sight of the famous mortar fleet. Per haps when we next hear from him he will be at Nashville. We Lave some add;!.! ,-:! .! inters sting u tails of fne retreat of toe rebels from Fow ling Graen. With the exception of four brigades —about twelve thousand men— ' is believed that the whole >f the forces re cently at Bowling Green had been eoneen {rated at l'ort Douelson. !he major part of Gen. Sidney Johnston's army is thus annihilated, and the Commander-in Chief a prisoner, ft is supposed that what is left of the rebel force will concentrate at Clarksyiile, and there make their final at tempt to obstruct our progress to Nashville. On our side the preparations for an over whelming movement into Tennessee are obvious. All the troops in the camps of instruction are ordered forward. The Di visions of Gens. MeCook and Thomas, un able to reach Kgst Tennessee, through the Cumberland Gap, ou account of the roads, have already been sent up the Cumberland river. We hive already eighty thousand men on the Cumberland, and from these camps forty thousand additional troops will go forward. Gen. Buell will probably command tho centre column, whilst Gen. Grant advances on the west side of the Cumberland. If the rebels huult at Clarks ville they will have a repetition of Fort Donelson. They will be surrounded by land and bombarded from the river. In all probability within the next ten davs the Stars and Stripes will flout from the Capitol at Nashville. We annex such authentic intelligence as has come to hand : THE ROANOKE VICTORY. Official Despatches from General Barn side. HEADQUARTERS DEH'T NORTH CAROLINA, "I UOAXOKE ISLAND. Feb 10, 1802. j Major General Geo. B. McClellan, Com unfil ing U. S. Army, Washington. GENERAL : I have the honor to report that a combinsd attack upon this island was com menced on the morning of the 7th, by the naval and military forces of this expedition, which has resulted in the capture of 6 forts, ; 40 guns, over 2,000 prisoners, and upwards of 3.000 small arms. Among the prisoners are Col. Shaw, commander ot the isiand ; 0. Jennings Wise, commander of the Wise Le gion. The latter irn- mortally wounded, and has since died. The whole work was finish ed on the afternoon of the Bth, after a hard day's fighting, by a brilliant charge in the centre of the island, and a rapid pursuit of the enemy to the north end of this island, resulting in the capture of the prisoners men tioned above. We have had no time to count them, but the number is estimated at near three thousand. Our men fought bravely and have endured most manfully the hard ships incident to fighting through swamps and dense thickets. It is impossible to give the details of the engagement, or to mention ' meritorious officers and men in the short time allowed for writing this r port. The naval "carrying it started immediately for Hampton Roads, - and the reports of the brigadier generals have not yet been handed in. It is enough to say that lh officers and men of both arms of the service Lave fought gallantly, and the plans agreed upon before leaving Hatteras were carried out. I will be excused for saying, in reference to the action that I owe everything to Gcuarals Foster, Reno and Park, as more full details will show. 1 am sorry to report the loss of about 35 killed, and about 210 wounded, 10 of them probably mortally. Among the killed are Col. Russell ot the Tenth Connecticut, and Lieut. Col.-Victor I)e Montiel, of the d'Epin . euii Zouaves. Both ot them fought most gallantly. 1 regret exceedingly nt being : able to send a full report of the killed and wounded, but will send a despatch boat in a day or two, with full returns, i bag leave to enclose a copy of a general order, issued by me on the V)th. lam most happy to say that 1 have just received a message from comman der Goldsborough. stating that the expedition of his gunboats against Elizabeth City and the rebel fleet bas been entirely successful.— He will nf course, send his returns to his de partment. I have the honor to be. General, Your obedient servant, A. E. Blrnside, Brigadier Gen. Commanding Dep't of North Carolina. Another Account of the Battle. A private letter, written on board the gun boat Soars and Stripes, Fob. 13th, says: Af ter the cannonade of the enemy's batteries by our naval forces, a landing of the military was commenced about half past four o'clock on Friday evening, at Ashby's harbor, about two and a half miles below the rebel fort Bar tow, of nine 32 pounders. The landing was effected under cover of the guns of two of our gunboats, the Delaware and Morse, which, with shrapnel, drove away and dispersed two rebel reg ments that were stationed there, with three fteldpieces, to oppose their landing. Our tnen were up to their middle in mud and wa ter in landing. When on shore they found the three rebel fieldpieces in the morass. By nine p. nr., that night. General Burn side had landed six thousand men. and con tinued landing them through the night at the rate of one thousand per hour. The land movement against the enemy's batteries was commenced early on Saturday morning, the fleet meantime engaging and silencing a shore battery opposite it. Our forces advancing in the direction of the battery in the centre of the island, the rebels were soon driven behind their intrenchments, where they resisted.— Eight mortars were landed from the fleet, to serve as our army's field artillery. About midway th > liawken's Zouaves and the 10th Conno'-ticut regiment, under General Foster, i made a dashing bayonet charge upon the bat ; tery commanded by young Wise, wading knee deep through mud ami water to get at the f.rt, ami yelling like so many Indians. ■ Meanwhile, a detour was made on the right by Gen. R -ao, and left by Gen. Foster. This attack, from three sides, decided the fate of the day. The rebels fled from their intrench ments before the array ot cld steel was brought to bear against them. The Ilawkin's Zouaves leaped the front defences bayonet in hand, as the rebels fled. Youug Wis# was not wounded here, as report has bad it, but received his wounds in endeavoring to escape from the island in a boat from Shallow Bog Bay. The boat was fired cn, and he received ) four wounds. lie was made a prisoner, and died on Sunday in rning of his wounds. Af ter the reducii n of the battery in the centre of the island, Gens. Reno and Parks took a force ~r men, and went down to Fort Bartow, Col. Hill in command, and took undisputed possession of it. It had been the principal point of two days'" bombardm nt by our navy. At 4 40 p. m. of Saturday, the American flag was do-played fr ui this battery. Gen. Fus : r then pursued the re! Is t > the north end ■ f the island, where was ah i i:i camp or drawn up a V :rginia rcgimsr.t, that bad be.-n turned 1 down in dx - h -oacrs from the mainland, eatly on Saturday in rning. Gen. Foster ap I pre * bed an d had an interview with the rebel e< rHin&ndar, Col. Shaw, of Xorvh Carolina, who asked what terms lie would exact. Gen. Fustt r replied, " nt unconditional surrender," and cunsun'f-d !•: give him time to return to I his camp t > deride or not to accede to his i d-miand. fh# rebel officer had baraly readi ed his men, when the Massachusetts twenty f. urth, burning with impatience, sprung for ward in the direction of the enemy, when i Col. Shaw immediately raised a white hand ; kerchief, as a signal that the rebels had con j eluded to surrender. The enemy Lad propo <ad to cut off our passage up Croatan Sound by a chevaux tie frize of stakes, extending from the mainland entirely across to the head of Roanoke Island, but our gunboats foried : their way through, and commenced the im ! petuous pursuit of the enemy's fleet, which had been drawn up behind this barrier. CAPTURE OF FT. DONELSON Official Despatch from Com Foote. WASHINGTON', Fob. IG. —The fallowing des patch was this morning received at the Navy Department, from Flag Qffcer Foote : U. S. FLAG SHU* ST. LOUIS, } NEAR FORT OONKLSON, VIA > PADUCAH. Feb, 15, 1802. J I made an attack on Fort D/nelson yester day at 3 P. M., with four iron clad gunboats, and two wooden ones, and aftc-r one hour and a quarter severe lighting the latter part of the day, within less than 400 yards of the fort, the wheel oi the vessel and the tiller of the Louisville were shot away, -rendering the two boats unmanageable. They "lien drifted down the river. The two remaining boats were greatly dam aged between wind and water. This veesel alone received 59 shots, and the others about half that number each. There were 54 killed and wounded in this attack, which we have reason to suppose would in fifteen minutes more, could the action have been continued, have resulted in the capture of the fort bear ing upon us, as the enemy was running from his batteries when the two gunboats drifted helplessly down the river from the disabled steering apparatus, as the relieving tackles could not steer the vessels, when the fleeing enemy returned to the river battery guns, from which they had been driven, and again hotly poured their firs upon us. The enemy muit have bt ught over twenty guns to bear upon our boats from the water battery and the main fort on the hill, while vro could only return the fire with twelve of the boats' guns from the four boats. One of the rifled guns aboard the Oarondelet burst during the action. The officers and men in this hotly contested but unequal fight behav ed with the greatest gallantry and determi nation, all deploring the accident which ren dered two of our gunboats suddenly helpless in the narrow xiTer and swift current. On consultation with Gen. Grant and my own officers, as my services here until we can repair damages, by bringing up a competent force from Cairo to attack the fort, are muCh less required than they are at Cairo, I shall proceed to that place. I hare sent the Tyler to the Tennessee riv er, to render the railroad bridge impassable. A. II- Foots, Flag Officer Commanding the Naval force, Western Division. Gidkou Weless, Secretary of the Navy.
