pondent at Vicksburg, dated the 22d instant,
which says:

FROM WASHINGTON.
WI; People's Liz e, Office No. 411 Chestnut at.]
nixermi, April 29.—The action of the
Senate yesterday, in rejecting all the amend
ments of its finance committee to the House
temporary tariff resolution is unprecedented.
The Senators were doubtless induced to take
the House resolution to secure immediate
action, and the receipt of increased custom
duties.
Military men here expect to hear that Gen.
Banks has advanced. His action must, how
ever, be somewhat dependent on the stage of
water in the Red River, which will regulate the
concerted action of our gunboats and trans
ports.
PEON CAIZO AND =OHM.
Corso, April 28.—Memphis papers of the
28th contain nothing special. Cotton has ad
vanced lc., and there is butt ittle doing, holders
waiting for better prices.
A reception was given to the 81st Regimen
Illinois Veterans at Carbondale yesterday, fire
paratory to their return to the front. It was
followed by a ball and dinner. During the af
ternoon some soldiers of the regiment, who had
an old grudge against Colonel Osborn, entered
a store where the Colonel was sitting and struck
him on the tead with a weight, breaking his
skull and inflicting a mortal wound.
The murderera were not 'arrested at the last
accounts.
Messri. Wade and Gooch, of the Committee
on the Conduct of the War, leave for the East
to-morrow.
The steamer Forsyth brought up 400 bales of
Cotton.
MEIILPHIR, April 26th.—The Committee on
the Conduct of the War are here investigating
the Fort Pillow massacre. It is thought that
they will exoterate General Hurlbut, as it is
generally coneded the force at his command
was inadequate to deal vigorously with Forrest.
TXXVIIITE CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION.
WASHINGTON, April 29, 1864.
Borax —Mr. Rigby (Cal. ), Chairman of the Se.
lest Committee on the charges against Mx. 'Blair
(1170. ), moved that the evidence be printed. •
Mr. llici.lurg (Mo. ) reminded the House that
when the report was made he waived his remarks
in order that the tax bill might be acted on.
He regretted-•that the military member, Mr.
Blair, was not now present. This military mem
ber had the audacity to attack' the four radical
members from Missouri in a clandestine manlier`,
and had inserted personal matter he never uttered
in his printed speech.
The Speaker reminded the gentleman that his
remarks were not in order.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) said. Mr. Blair had been al
lowed to go.on In lus own way, and Mr. McClurg
should have the tame privilege.
The Speaker replied—That was by the consent
of the House.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, Mr. McClurg bad
permission to proceed. He denied that he had
made a direct charge against the military member,
of a liquor speculation. The latter could not con
trol his vindictive character and had said that
Powers was a treasury agent, which was not the
fact; nor was Mr. Garner a treasury agent until
some weeks after the liquor transaction.
He (Mr. McClurg) was a great admirer of Secre
tary Chase, whom he compared to an iron-clad,
plated with six-inch iron; and the individual pur
suing him was a Major-General firing paper wads
from a pop-gun and the sentinel not aroused from
his slumbers.
Mr. Clay (Ky.), as a member of the Select
Committee, reminded the gentleman that there was
nothing in the evidence to show that Mr. Blair
was engaged in a liquor speculation.
Mr. McClurg said he referred to the evidence
itself and the Home could draw their own conclu,
The military member and the eight officers of
hs staff; :who signed the -original order were
cornizant of the tact that it had been altered. They
were not only morally but legally bound by the
act ,f the forger, Michael Powers, who was their
agent.
He repeated that they ratified the act, and it
woult not now do to repudiate the act or their own.
agent. He was satisfied that the public Would
come tt a sTbsilar conclusion. He quoted from
and examined the eviden cei la support of his Peel
ton. •

REPORTED BATTLE AT DECATUR, ALABAMA
[From the Chicago Journal, of April 21111.)
We extract the fo lowing from a letter received
at this office to-day, dated Larkinsville, Alabama,
April 10:
•olhe news from our front to. day Ls, that oar
forces had a fig) ~yesterday at Decatur, thirty
miles from Huntsville. Our troops all left Hunts

double- quick. I cannot find out any of the par

HmiTSV/LLE, Ala , April 20.—We have excit
ing reports from Decatur: A rebel force, - variously
estimated at from 8.000 to 10,090, with considerable
artillery, has been hovering around there for
several days. The 9th Illinois infantry (mounted)
first discovered the enemy some miles out
from Decatur, on the 14th, while scontane.
They have had several skirmishes with .the
rebs, who have been ascertained to be Reddy's
command of mounted men. On the 17th their
pickets were discovered within ten miles of tOwn,
on what is known as the Courtland road. Tte 9th
Illinois has been constantly busy annoying and
testing the enemy. That regiment and the tat Ala
bama Union Cavalry, supported by the 25th Wis
consin and 39th Ohio. have several times driven in
their pickets.
It Is expected that Reddy intends to attack ear
position at Decatur. General Dodge, who corn.
mends our forces there, is prepared to repel him.
We have strong fortifications. Troops have been
going down from here, and if a general engage
ment is brought on, the rebels will find us
more than enough for them. The position the
enemy now occupies on the Corirtland road, sur.
rounded with timber, is considere 1 a good one,
and Indications are that he designs a flank move
ment upon us
Some think that this rebel demonstration in our
front is merely a ruse to cover some other move.

in this department.

DRSPRILLTI EFIJOIIICTZEC WITH. A BURGLAR..
About it o'clock. yesterday morning, Mr. Wm. S.
Bishop, bacon dealer in the Delaware market,
living at No. 270 Eaat MonuMent street, was snd
denly awakened by a noise in his bedroom, and
was rather surprised at seeing a man endeavoring
to open a trunk that was under the bed. He jumped
out of bed and seized the intruder by the neck, and
a scuffle ensued, during which the robber fired at
Mr. Bishop from a revolver, the ball passing so
nettr his left shoulder as to burn his shirt. He suc
ceeded, however, in getting the pistol away from
him. In the encounter he was much bitten on the
bands and arias, and much scratched aboitt the
legs, having nothing on but his shirt. Mrs. Bishop,
.who was in the adjoining room, nursing a sick
child, ran to the front delor and gave the alarm.
She then got her husband's pistol, and was about
to give it to him for the purpose of shooting the
robber, when he snatched the weapon from her and
tried again to shoo! Mr Bishop, who, however,
got the best of the scuffle, and obtain.edthe second
pistol. Policeman Carback and one of the neigh.
hors soon appeared, and after a fight, in which the
robber was beaten over the head severely. secured
him and conveyed him to the central police station.
He gave the name of James Smith, (supposed to be
a fictitious name ;) he is a powerful built man, and
in his struggle with Bishop, who is also a very
stout man, evidented his desperate character. At
one time Mrs. Bishop attempted to shoot him, but
not being conversant with the handling of a pistol,
her object failed.—Baltimore Sun, Aprg 37.
A RELIC FROM PrrnAir B WOLF DEN. —ln the
possession of Major Horace Goodwin, of this city,
is the identical historical torch that Israel Putnam
used in his descent to the wolfs den in Pomfret.
It was presented to Major G., with other relics of
the old hero, on the occasion of the visit to Brook
lyn, William county, in June, 1860, ot the Pnt•
nam Phalanx." of which be was the commander.
The person who presented it was an old gentleman
of between 60 and 70, who assured Major G. that
he himself found it, some fifty yeaxs before, at a
spot to which he had crawled in the cave beyond
any point (as he believed) ever visited by anybody
else except , Old Pnt" himself. The torch is of
birch bark, closely rolled in a cylindrical form,
and is partly burnt at one end. Its charred condi
tion still shows the point at .whtch, according to
the historical account, the bold farmer's "light
was extinguished" when be dropped in the cave.
in the immediate • neighborhood of the glaring
wolf.—Hartford Courant.
Won.knoa Gum By STEAM. —The St. Louis
Union describes some interesting experiments
with a new invention in that city, devised for the
purpose'of 'working heavy guns by steam.power.
The plan was tested last week on board the moni
tor Winnebago. The Union says
As we are prohibited, by general instructions
issued by the Navy Depaxtment, from giving a
description in detail of this wonderful machine,
we can only state that two eleven-inch Dahlgren
guns are so completely under control of one man
in, it, and handled with as much ease by him,
and with almost as much celerity, as a pair
of duelling pistols uonld be. Every movement of
the guns is made by steam. They are run out of
their ports by. it, and their recoil is checked by it;
they are lowered into the hold by steam for load
ing, and rallied:again to be fired; 'and all these
movements are made in as little time as it bas
taken to relate it.
