Dickey, dated Jacksonville, Florida, 1' ebruary 2b, 18b4, to Joseph Alexan der, Esq., wo learn that he was woun ded in the face by a shell, but without any bones being broken, and remained in command half an hour afterwards, when he retired. He speaks highly of his soldiers, who he says'did not re treat until ordered. The heroic valor displayed by these despised eons of Af rica may be inferred from the fact that out of fifty men he took into action 10 were killed, 5 missing, supposed to be killed, and 21 wounded. The rebel Congress has adjourned. Its acts have passed into the history of that infamous rebellion which has proved a de lusion and a snare to them, as well as a griei and trouble to us. Amongst the bills passed were four of a general character, intended to accomplish, by desperate means, the salvation of their failing cause—we mean the Conscription, Tax, and Curren cy Bills, and the suspension of Habeas Corpus. —Tho latest geographical invention is that making Hollidaysburg a central point in this congressional district. WAR NEWS. The city papers have columns ol pretended war news, most of which is about as reliable as "yaller kiver" lit erature. We give below all that we can gather from numerous confused accounts. The great raid of Gen. Kilpifriek lias terminated with his arrival within Gen. Butler's lines on the Peninsula He failed in the effort to penetrate into Richmond. As we had no high expectations of such a result, we are not disappointed. Though he did not succeed in his main purpose, General Kilpatrick did a vast amount of damage to the enemy, destroying their railroad communications, and also the canal and mills on the James river, and brought off his command without serious damage. His loss is less than one hundred and fifty, but we have to regret that among this number are Colonels Dahlgren (son of the Admiral,) Litchfield and Cook. The two first named are supposed to be prison ers. Col. Pahlgren's detachment is said to lmve failed in its object, which was to penetrate Richmond from the south side, whilst Gen. Kilpatrick maie no attack from the north, on account of the treachery of a negro guide, by whom they were led toward Goochland, directly awav from Richmond. This is a rather doubtful story. The negro, however, was hung. On his route Gen. Kilpatrick damaged the railroads and destroyed large amounts of Rebel stores. At Fredericksball he captured a Colonel and several officers who were holding a court martial. Gen. Lee had pased through on the railway only an hour previous. The misdirecting of Colonel Dahlgren's command delayed the attack, and put the rebels on the alert. Gen. Kilpatrick forced his way through the first line of in trenehments, but the second lines were too 6trongly manned for his force; and be wisely retired. Over five hundred prisoners were captured, hut it was impossible to bring them in. Considerable damage was done to the James River Canal, and several Hour mills were burnt. [Col Dablgren it is now reported is killed.] An arrival at New York from New Orleans announces that Admiral Farragut was opera l ting actively against Mobile. The mortar and gunboat fleet were bombarding Fort Pow ell, at the entrance to Grant's Pass, and it was believed that it would nut hold out long. The rebel rani Tennessee was inside Mobile Bay, near Fort Morgan. Troops were beirv forwarded from New Orleans to take part in the attack on Mobile. The reports as to Gen. Sherman's move ments are still contradictory. One despatch reports that Gen. MePhersun's Corps had ar rived at Jackson. Mississippi, and the whole of the expeditionary force would soon return there. Another account is that after the failure of Gen Smith's cavalry expedition to join him at Meridian, Gen "Sherman, bv a rapid move, turned towards Aherbeen and Columbus, in the richest part of Eastern Mis sissippi, where bis army was sure to find an abundance of provisions. By this he turned his back upon Selma and Mobile, marched toward Logan, who had advanced to meet him, and, by an audacious stroke of strategy, placed himself a distance of one hundred miles from Johnston's flank, now menaced by his advance. The despatch says that ru mor spread concerning the attack upon Mo bile and Selma by Sherman was simply meant to divert public attention from the real object of the expedtion, which aims at an invasion of Georgia somewhere between Trentun and Lafayette. A party of Rebels, who are said to have come out of the Rappahannock River in an nrmed sloop, have been making a bold and successful raid in the Chesapeake Bay. They visited Cherrystone, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and captured two Government tugs, said to be the Titian and the lola, though there is some doubt about the names of the vessels. One of the tugs was burnt and the crew paroled. The town of Pensacola, Florida, has been burnt by the rebels, in order to prevent our troops from occupying it. A despatch from headquarters, \Y*t Vir ginia, reports heavy movements of rebel troops eastward over the Virginia and Ten nessee Railroad, probably Longstreet's com mand. The Copperheads at Work. In the Senate of this State, on Fri day last, the copperheads, including Bucher, deliberately put on record their opposition to an increase of the pay of private soldiers, as will be seen by the following proceedings : Resolved by the Senate and House of Rej)restnfulivcs of the. Comnioittcmllh of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the static, 1 hat our representatives in Congress be requested to vote for, and use their influence for the passage of a law increasing the pay of private soldiers and non commissioned officers in the ariuy of the United States. On the final passage of the bill, The yeas and nays were required by Mr. | Beardslee and Mr. Clymer, and were as follow, viz: YEAS— -Messrs. Cliampneys, Connell, ' Punlap, I-leming. Graham, Iloge, House bolder, -Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, McCand- I less, Nichols, Ridgway, St. Clair. Turrell, 1 Wilson, Wcrthington and Penney, Speak er—lß. \ NAYS— Messrs Beardslee, Bucher. Cly-1 raer, Donovau, Glatz, Hopkins, Larnbertou, Latta, McSherry, Montgomery, Reilly, Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace—ls. So the bill passed finally. The proceedings on sundry amend- j ments were as follows ; A joint resolution proposing certain amend- j ments to the Constitution. Be it resolved by the Senate and House I r^se ntatiues oj the Commonwealth 1 of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, j That the following amendment be proposed to the Constitution of the Commonwealth, in accordance with the provisions of the tenth article thereof: There shall be an additional section to ' the third article of the Constitution, to be designated as section four, as follows: SECTION IV. Whenever any of the qualified electors of this Commonwealth shall be in any actual military service un-1 der a requisition from the President of the I nited States, or by the authority of this < ommoowealth. such electors may exercise the right of suffrage in, all elections of the citizens, under such regulations as are or j shall he prescribed by 'law, as fully as if' they were present at their usual place of 1 election. SECTION 11. There shall he two addi ' tinoal sections to the eleventh article of i the Constitution, to Le designated as sec ; tion eight and nine, as follows : i SECTION \ 111. No bill shall be passed by the Legislature containing more than i one subject, which shall be clearly express ed in the title, except appropriation bills SECTION IX. No bill shall be passed by the Legislature granting any powers or privileges in any case where the authority to grant such powers or privileges has been or may hereafter be conferred upon the courts of the Commonwealth. On agreeing to the title. Agreeable to the provisions of the Con stitution, the yeas and nays were required, and were as follow, viz: N EAS Messrs. Champneys, Connell, Dunlap, Fleming, Graham, Hoge, House holder. Johnson, Ivinsey, Lowry, MeCand !ess, Nichols. Rid-way, St. Clair, Turrell, Wilson, Worthington and Penney, Speak er—lß NAYS —Messrs. Beardslee, Donovan, Glatz, Lamberton, Latta, Montgomery, Smith, and Wallace—lo. So the title was agreed to, a majority of the whole body having voted therefor. Every Patent Democrat but Kinsey, of Bucks county, voted against increas ing the pay of the soldiers. Kinsey, Democratic Senator, voted in the affirmative—and five Democrat ic Senators dodging the question—by which they a mitted the infamy of the course adopted by- their leaders in the Senate. We submit these extracts from the record, to the calm consider ation of tie people of Pennsylvania— to the serious reflection of the men who are perilling their lives in defence of the national honor, and perpetuity j of the National Government. They need no comment further than this, : that if there was a tory in the revolu- ! tion, or a blue-light traitor in the war of ISI2, either would have voted pre cisely as these men did.
