To division commanders, however.

For full details and reports aud particulars rcf'wetiee is made tu the reports of the engin eer, medical director, and conmanders of brigades and divisions, to follow 1 am, General, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, Brig. Gen. I One >f the editors of the Chicago Poet, writing fr.un the battle field, under date of Sunday night, says: The Surrender. —At daylight, on Sunday morning. Com Foote opened a gun upon the fort. Three or four shots were fired, but no 1 response was heard. Then it was reported a white flag was flying, and then that the ene my had g-t away during the night! A tug started with a flag of truce, and ran up to the fort: and the uews came back that the rebels had surrendered ! Such was the fact. Th* rebel commanders, Pillow. Floyd, Buckner, and Bushrod Johnson, had held a council of" war during the night, at which it had been decided to surrender, and no sooner had this decision bean arrived at than Floyd, trite to Ins instincts, took his brigade and ran away Pillow also " skadaddied." as did a portion of F rent's Kentucky cavalry brigade. Such was Pillow's haste to depart that (a rebel offi cer tells me) he knocked two men off the boat with his sword, who were trying to go with him. Buckner and Bushrod Johnson remained a> d are n..w among our prisoners The Scene after the Surrender. —The spec taele presented as our troop* entered the pi ice was one to which no de.scriptisn can do jus tiee A? our fleet of transports, preceded by the gunboats. m >v id slowly up toward the fort, the s .idiers collected in groups and sijuade an I gazed upon them in apparent wonder. Their appearance was grotesque in the extreme. Without uniformity in dress, few of them wor anything that could be cai le i a uniform, unless it were a white or strip ed blanker, worn in the Indian fashion, envoi oping nearly the w hole person. Large nunt bers of them instead of blanket*, wore larg* piecis of carpeting in the form of a blanket j l'h(-He I learned were the soldiers who ran ! away from F-.ri IJ-tiry in such eitreme haste ; that they left their coats behind. Such was 1 {he Hynt} athy of the rebel leaders in this rt gi'.ri on account of their coatiess condition that, having previously given all their blank cts for their soldier*, they now gave tliir carpets. I have had large opportunities to day for obsen ing the intercourse between our soldiers and th-.se of the rebels, and the resu'ts of such observations are gratifying in the high est degree Our artillery upon entering the fort fired a salute, our army did some cheer ing. and our band played the Star Sj.angled Banner, the Red. White, and Blue, and some other national airs. Bit in a whole day's walk about the place, I witnessed not a sin gie instance of insulting b-iastfuiuess, or c->n du.-r that was calculated to vvouti I the person i al fe.-lirigs of a fallen enemy. Indeed, it ltd- ; difficult to realize tluit tbee men in various ; col-.red blanket* and those in blue overcoats weie enemies, or that these were prisoner* an ! those captors, so considerately did they treat each other. M .st of the rebel offi eg with whom I hwe conversed betrayed much bitterness of feeling —a disease which ha* grown chronic with certain small politicians at the South But I am convinced that three fourths of the 13 00U men taken prie nere here, if they could get back to their homes, would not return to tne service id Jeff Davis Co., if thev could help it. The prisoners have been directed to report to their respective commands, who in turn rep .rt to their superiors in command, and they to General Buckner. The process is now going on, and the prisoners, with their personal) fleets in carpet sacks, handkerchiefs, bundles, cloth sacks and every other kind o| sack, eject military knapsack, are marching iu slow lines t-> the boats, looking for all the world lik- the children of Israel about to ci in un nce tin-;.' wanderings in the wilderness.

Many of the enemr. Secession officers in form me, fenred their thr at* would be cut as soon as they surrendered. A very few of them may have thought so; but. with even their limited degree of intelligence, the ered ulity of any number could not have been so alarmingly great A number of the euetnv. before the attack oil the fort, were so confident of Federalists, th-it they declared. wh-*n the an kesa took i r , they would hurrah for Abe Liu coin.

The Senate on the 18th, during nearly its whole session, discussed the case ot Sen ator Starke, of Oregon, without coming to a decision as to whether he should be sworn in. The House adopted the joint resolutions tendering the thanks of the nation to the Army and Navy for the recent glorious victories. The Senate amendments to the Fortification bill were concurred in, and the Senate amendments to the Treasury Note bill made the order of the day fhr to day.

Mr Val landigham denied the existence of any such letter, protested his loyalty, and the sub ject was dropped. The amendments of the Senate to the Treasury Note bill were con sidered in Committee of the Whole. The amendment making the interest on the public debt payable in coin was adopted, but a final vole was not taken on the bill.
