The bill authorizing the President to appoint two assistant secretaries of war, to continue in office ono year, was passed.

This substitute limits tho operation of the bill tu teams carrying the mails, whieh are delivered at the various postoffices, and allows companies, and on all telegraphic messages, newspaper dealers to receive packages at the same abatement as are allowed to regulur sub scribers, and adds a tax of three cents on all letter money aud collection packages seut by express, ex cept those for the government or the press.

The case of Mr- Bright was then taken up, and Mr. Davis, the new senator from Kentucky, made an eloquent speech in favor of his expulsion. He took the ground that Mr. Bright had never shown any sympathy with the govern ment, and voted against all measures to subdue the rebellion, and was therefore unfitted for the position of Senator. The House passed the bill to increase the clerical force of the War and Navy Departments. On motion of Mr. Blair, it was resolved that the President in form the House whether the act of Congress, requir ing officers of the additional regiments appointed from oivillife to be assigned to the recruiting service, has been complied with. If so, how many officers have been thus employed since the extra session of Congress.

The House, in Committee of the Whole, then resumed the consideration of the civil appropriation bill, and Mr. Diven made a speech on the object of the war, holding that it was not for the abolition of slavery. Mr. Stevens spoke in favor of emancipation as necessary to the subjection of (he South, and closing with a slur upon the administra tion for sending to Siberia the only member of the o&binet who comprehended this necessity. Thursday, January 23. The Senate in its session to-day passed a resolution declaring that Marshal Lamon, in the order he transmitted to that body, was guilty of the contempt of the Senate, and that the Secretary of the Navy report the resolution to the President.

The consideration of the Military Academy bill was then resumed, and Mr. Aldey delivered a speech on the finances of the government, advocating a com bination of the three important measures before the House. Messrs. Harrison, Washbume and Van Horn followed with remarks on the emanoipation question, subsequent to which the House adjourned.

The joint resolution appropria- j ting $lO,OOO for the investigating committee was ! passed. The Senate bill appropriating $25,000 to be 1 expended under the direction of the Secretary of War, if, in his judgment, the same be necessary, for the protection of the emigrants on the overland . routes between the Atlantic states and California and Oregon and Washington territory was passed.— Mr. Fenton presented the resolutions of the Legisla ture of the*state of New York in favor of the enact ment of a law to prevent frauds on the government in the matter of furnishing Supplies, and, on motion, they were referred to the investigating committee on war contracts.

The entire United States loss in the late fight was 39 killed and 150 wounded. General Thomas’ forces took 14 cannon and 1,400 : Tnules and horses. General Thomas, is across the river in pursuit. The.steambO|tand eight barges used by the rebels were burnecb.-TChe United States troops used the remaining barges in orossing the river. IjOUlßYille, January 22. General Thomas now reports the Federal loss at the recent battle at 39 killed and 127 wounded.— Among the wounded are Col. McCook, of the Ninth Ohio, and his aid, Lient. Burt, of tJio eighteenth United States Infantry. Of the rebels Zollieoffer and 114 others were killed, 116 wounded, and 45 taken prisoners. A prisoner says that Gen. Geo. B. Crittenden was the first in command of the rebel forces, and ZolH* coffer the second. Crittenden fled to the woods, taking the wrong road, and it is supposed he will be captured. The Federal forces actively engaged were the Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentaefejr, Second Minnesota, and Ninth Ohio—their respecfcfte loss being in the order named. They were reinforced, after the first and severest engagement, by the Twelfth and Eighteenth Ken tucky, First and Second Tennessee, Fourteenth, Thirty-first, Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Ohio Kegi mente, and Standard’s, Whitmore’s and Kenney’s batteries. The rebel forces were estimated at 10,000. Green C. Clay, of Bourbon county, son of Bratus Clay, and aid to Gen. Sohoepff, was with General Thomas in the engagement, and has just arrived, bringing a splendid silk rebel flag, bearing the in scription : “ Presented to the Mountain Bangers, Captain F. A. Ashford, by Mrs. W. D. Charde royne.” Col. 8. S. Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky Regiment, had bis horse shot from.under him by one of Zolli coffer’s aids, when he : Jhyrped and shot Zollicoffer through the left breast. The first breaking of the rebel ranks was effected by CoL K.' 8. McCook, the .Ninth Ohio, acting Brigadier General, who ordered his men to charge bayonets, which put the rebels to immediate flight. The last order issued to the rebels, which was found in their encampment, ‘ was signed by Colonel Cummins, the senior in oommand, after the death of Zollicoffer and flight of Crittenden, directing the rebels to disperse and save themselves in the best way they could. The Journal says Gen. Thomas, with a large foroe, has crossed the Cumberland, and is hunting the fly ing rebels through Wayne county. Official Announcement of the Victory—* The President Hastens to do Honor to the Brave. The following general order in respect to the bat tle of Mill Spring, (near Somerset, Ky.,) has just been issned: “GENERAL ORDER IN .ASPECT TO THE BATTLE OP MILL SPRING. “ War Department, Jan. 22, 1862 “ The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, has received information of a brilliant victory achieved by the United States forces over a large body of armed traitors and rebels, at Mill Springs, in the State of Kentucky. “ He returns thanks to the gallant officers and sol diers who won that victory, and when tho official re* ports shall be reoeived, the military skill and per* sonal valor displayed in the battle will be acknowl edged and rewarded in a fitting manner. “ The courage that encountered and vanquished the greatly superior numbers of the rebel force, pur sued and attacked them in their entrenchments, and paused not until the enemy was completely routed, merits and receives commendation. The purpose of this war is to attack, pursue and destroy a rebellions enemy, and to deliver the country from the danger menaced by traitors. Alacrity, daring, courageous spirit, and patriotic zeal, on all occasions and under every circumstances, are expected from the army of the United States. In the prompt and spirited movements and daring battle of Mill Spring the nation will realize its hopes, and the people of the United States will rejoice to honor every soldier and officer who proves his courage by charging with the bayonet and storming entrenohments or in the blaze of the enemy’s fire. “ By order of the President, “EDWIN M. STANTON, “ Secretary of War.” The following official order has been issued by the Secretary of War : “Ordered, That the War Department will be closed, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fri days against all other business but that which relates to active military operations in the field. “ Saturdays will be devoted to the business of Senators and Representatives. “ Mondays to the business of the public. “ EDWIN M. STANTON, “ Secretary of War.” Official Accounts of tiie Victory. The following despatch was received at head quarters to-night: Louisville, January 22, 1862. To Major General McClellan, Commanding the United States Army : The following has just been received from Gen. Thomas : Tho rout of the enemy was complete. After suc ceeding in getting two pieces of artillery across the river, and upwards of fifty wagons, he abandoned the rest with all the ammunition in the depot at Mill Spring. They then threw away their arms, and dispersed through the mountain by-ways in the direction of Monticello, but are so completely de moralized that I do not believe they will make a stand short of Tennessee. The property captured on this side of the river is of great value, amounting to eight six-pounders and two Parrott guns, with caissons filled with ammuni tion ; about one hundred four-horse wagons, and up wards of twelve hundred horses and mules; several boxes of arms, which have never been opened, and from five hundred to one thousand muskets, (mostly flint locks, but in good order;) subsistence stores enough to serve the entire command for three days, and a large amount of hospital stores. “ As soon os I receive tho report of the brigade commanders, I will furnish a detailed report of the battle. Our loss was thirty-nine killed and one hun dred and twenty-seven wounded. Among the wounded were Colonel McCook, of the Ninth Ohio, commanding a brigade, and his aid, Lieutenant Bart, of the Eighteenth United States Infantry.— The loss of the rebels was : Zollicoffer and one hun dred and fourteen others killed and buried, one hun dred and sixteen wounded, and forty-five taken pris oners, (not wounded,) five of whom are surgeons, and including Lieutenant Colonel Carter, of the Seventeenth Tennessee Regiment. “ GFNERAL THOMAS. D. C. Buell, Brigadier General commanding.” Affairs at Ship Island. Oar correspondence from Ship Island,, the ren dezvous of the Butler expedition, says the N. Y. Times, is to the 30th of December, and gives a very complete idea of the condition of affairs there up to that time. The troops since they landed there have been busily engaged in perfecting the defences, and making preparations for moving over to the main land as sooh as the rest of the expedition shall ar rive. The National gunboats were doing very effec tive service in the vicinity in keeping the coast clear of rebel traders. They had succeeded in stopping entirely the communication between New Orleans and Mobile. Since the aotion between the Massachusetts and the Florida, of which details have heretofore been given, the rebel gunboats cruising in the Mississippi Sound-had kept out of harm’s way. The head quarters of Flag Officer McLean had been established at Ship Island, and measures were being taken whereby the moat effective co-operation could be established between the military and naval forces. — The news from the mainland, brought over by escaped negroes, is to the effect that there is a great scarcity of provisions, the inhabitants living princi pally on sweet potatoes and beef WHOLESALE ROBBERY, There is no doubt but that there has been a wholesale system of robbery going on among the officials and contractors who have had their hauds in the strong box of the Govern ment. Congressional Investigating Commit tees may do some good, and they are now busily at wo»k. We clip the following from the New York Ledger , the editor of which paper speaks out plainly, and comes very near invoking mob law and a-breach of the peace to punish those leeches who are absorbing the life-blood of the nation : “It is too bad that a gang of remorseless speculators should be allowed to plunder the national treasury right and left, while the patriotic and self denying masses ol the people are paying taxes and making voluntary con tributions to the utmost extent of their means to sustain the government in its time of trial and peril. But so it is. By means of ‘fat contracts ' and exorbitant'eommissions, scores of the favorites of men in power are enabled to amass immense fortunes out of the money contributed by patriotic citizens for the salva tion of the country. In our own city we have two illustrious examples of fortune making; in one'ease a publisher of a newspaper pockets thousands of dollars for mis-doing what might have been well done at a trilling expense, and in another case a relative of Governor Mor gan and brother in law of Secretary Welles, pockets nearly a hundred thousand dollars for doing what many a person vastly his superior would have been glad to do for a tweutieth part of that sum. * * We think the peo ple have the remedy in their own hands, and we trust the time will soon come when they will Let every man known to have thus filched a fortune from the national treasury be seized by the community in which he lives, and hung to the nearest railing or post suitable for such a hallowed purpose.— That is the only remedy, and it wonld be a ; most efficacious one. Any man who would | even wish to make money unfairly out of hi? I country ia such u time as this is unfit to live, I and be who does it should not be allowed to j cumber the earth with his living presence.” The fight between Cameron and Fremont, which agitated the country a few weeks ago, has resulted in the destruction of both combatants. Cameron had influence enough to procure Fremont's removal, but he did not long enjoy his victory. His* own head soon .Tolled upon the executioner's block for the same causes that led to. the decapita tion of Fremont—official corruption and favor i*ism for the emanoipation of the negro. For all such partizans we/have no other wish than to see them re-enact the role of the Kilkenny cats !—Pittsburg Post. A Gome Sell.—The Harrisburg Vnion tells the following good story of one of’the government horses: Many incidents connected with the horse purchases for Government will probably be come matters of history hereafter, and we will add one just learned from a friend, which we think.will stand preeminent among the evi dences of the honesty of the loyal men who acted as agents for the government. - A number-of horses were purchased at va rious prices in the Juniata region,'which were examined and passed by an inspector named Sherborne. As Government had no forage, the horses were placed amongthe farmers in the vicinity to board. Among the rest, on old farmer on Shanerts creek was allotted six head. He took excellent care of them, and was get ting along finely, until one day one of them slipped his wind and his spirit spared away to where oats are plenty; the pastures forever green, and no driver’s lash to goad him on to labor— fabulously known as horse heaven.— The farmer was alarmed, because, honest, con scientious man as he was “he feared Govern ment would hold him for the loss of this fine army nag. In order to clear his skirts, if pos sible, bo summoned half a dozen of his neigh, bars to hold an inquest and post mortem ex amination over thB dead body of the charger, that they might certify that he did not die of neglect or inattention. The conclave assem* bled, and after doe deliberation decided that the horse had died of old age I—one of the jury of inquest testifying that he had known the animal personally for upwards of twenty seven years 1 A Startling Statement. —The Chicago Tribune publishes the fullowing paragraph editorially: “We have before ns three cartridges brought to ns from Annapolis by a friend. They are a portion of the ammunition for Enfield rifles served out to Burnside’s, forces for the great expedition. To the eye they are alike in ap pearance, and the slight difference in weight could not instantly be detected. Bat the dif ference is that one of the three contains not a particle of powder. A prominent officer of the expedition told our Informant that this was about the proportion the entire lot of Enfield cartridges—one-third of them carefully put up without powder. Now here is a case for investigation. Was it fraud, or treachery, that seeks to palm off upon onr brave troops, on the eve of an expedition, sham cartridges ? Let us have an explanation of this affair, Secretary Stanton," JtSS" For goodness’ sake let us lose sight of the negro and strive to ameliorate the ccoi tion of the white man. The St. Louis Repub lican so says, ns it touohes upon the abolition fallacies, and forcibly asks : “ Where are those general uprisings of the slaves, so con fidently prophesied in certain quarters, as the inevitable result of a civil war? Where are those Bervile butcheries that heated imagina tions conjured up as the probable result of our domestic conflict? Where is that universal unrest of the blacks, which was expected to deplete the Southern States of the ‘ brawny sons of toil,’and lead them to a safe refuge in the North ? There have been no insurrections, and there are likely to be none. May not, therefore, the Abolitionists, who have been mistaken in this idea, be equally mistaken in many other notions that they are so constant ly and pertinaciously forcing upon the public ? The holiday season is over, when custom allows the slaves of the South almost unre stricted liberty, and yet we have heard of no gigantic revolts, such as have been promised as following the occupation of the southern country by the Federal troopß. Isn’t it a pity to try to wreck a country out of pretend ed consideration for a race who can have no appreciation of such sacrifices for their bene fits ?” THE WAR. MUST BE SHORT. This war commenced on the 19th of April, 18G1; it ought to be ended by the 19ih of April, 1862. The amount of cotton now on hand in the warehouse, of Liverpool and Manchester is sufficient to keep the Lancashire mills at work, at their present rate of running, until the latter part of May. As that period ap proaches, tho impending distress of the man ufacturing population ol England will furnish powerful motives for the intervention of the British government to break the blockade. The overmastering instinct of self preserva tion will assert its force, and pretexts will not long be wanting for war with the United States and an alliance with the South. Re cent events have shown on how precarious a footing are our relations with Great Britain. It behooves us to strike vigorous, rapid, and effective blows while we have but one enemy to contend with, and no formidable third party interferes.—lV. T. World. A CONTRAST, Decidedly the most brilliant military cam paign in which our Country ever engaged, was the Mexican War, during the administration of President Polk. Ex President Buchanan was, at that time, Secretary of State, and the late Governor Marcy, Secretary of War. The most extensive means had to be provided for the maintenance of a large army in a distant country, and millions of money passed through the hands of the government officers. But we do Dot remember that any one of them was ever charged with peculation or dishon esty. Certain it is that not a whisper was ever heard affecting the integrity of Mr. Marcy, and he retired from office enjoying the respect of the whole country. The democratic administration of President Polk, in that campaign, set an example which might have been profitably followed by those holding high places under Mr. Lincoln. It certainly is not necessary to the successful prosecution of a war that all concerned in conducting it should turn highway robbers. —Easton Argus. Mr. Stevens Off the Track.— Mr. Thaddeus Stevens bas been making another speech in Congress in favor of the in fallible abolition panacea for this Southern rebellion—to wit, the emancipation and arm ipgoftbe slave copulation of the South. Now, we respectfully submit that, as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, all the talents, learning, labor and time of Mr. Stevens are demanded at this crisis to provide the ways and means necessary to prevent the Treasury and the country from running into bankruptcy, apd that he is off the track in neglecting the important money question to dance to the silly music of our abolition dis organizes on the negro question. Let Mr. Stevens stick to the financial duties of his committee ; for the liberation of Uncle Sam is a more pressing question than the emanoipa tion of Uncle Tom.
