It is evident that some parts of this report are not quite re concilittle with the rest. If Sonora be put in pawn to France, with very little prospect of ever being redeemed, and be occupied, ad in(erint, by the French, it is absurd to imagine that Mexico can have even the ahadow of sovereignty there during such occupation. The European papers say no thing about the elevation of ex-Senator GIVIN to a French dukedom. Of all im probable things this would be the most so. Igarorzort is not the man to bestow upon a foreign adventurer the highest dignity in his gift, which he dispenses in the most chary manner upon his own subjects for the most distinguished military and civil ser vices. Considering that the canard about the Gwin dukedom first reached us from San Francisco, avowedly coming from one of Gwur's agents, it is scarcely doing in justice to principal and agent to suspect that it was put forth to make capital out of— that is, to raise the wind for Mr. GWIN, who is said to be in the condition of being "bard up."

He led his opponent from the first hundred, and though Montgomery struggled hard at first to recover his ground, Estephe added hundred to hundred till he finally scored game at 1,200 points, to the loser's 525.

Everything to-day Is quiet at the front. , There ben' been very 'little firing of any land In the last twenty. four hours, and a trip out to the picket line' Sc no longer so perilous as it used to be, the rebel pickets mostly lying very quiet, with nothing to in. date their whereabouts or presence save the smoke from their log fires. In the camps the peace ques tion no longer mates disoussion, and nothing Is talked of but the late advance, and its probable ulti mate results. Not the least substantial among the fruits of that victory was the capture of some twenty wagon-loads of Cotton and tobacco, estimated to be worth, at least, forty thousand dollars. The capture was made this aide of Eatoher's Run. The cotton was. baled, and he'd bben employed by the rebels as a tem porary breastwork. The whole has been confiscated to the Government, and an agent of the Treasury Department will go tr . , the front this week and take possession of it. The next topic of most interest to the troops at present is the expected arrival of the paymaster. It is pretty certain - that he will be here In six weeks' time, if not sooner.

Spada' Correspondence of The Prim} Q 8 Tan SAMS% IhrFou Rrolimottn, Feb. 14, 1866. It it very evident that the resolutions of the ruling classes, recently passed in Richmond at the several meetings to urge a more vigorous prosecu tion of the war, are not regarded by the rebel rank and file as being binding upon them. This very action has tended to increase desertions from the enemy. The rebel soldiers seem to have come to the conclusion, that as all prospects of success are now at an end, their . interests in the welfare of a Southern Republic cease, and have no compute". tione In forsaking a color which is certain to entail upon its supporters a dishonorable death. Such resolutions from thei chiefs at Richmond tend to. foreshadow the fate of their duped soldiers, though if, seems that many of them are beeomitig conscious of the necessity of looking after their Own Interests, and are leaving those who have tome to ,the unal terable conclusion to Continue the war until their Independence is achieved, or fall in the struggle, to fight it out on their line of resolutions. Where the picket lines Qf the Confronting armies are close together there are some amusing incidents daily occurring, The destitute condition -of the rebel soldiers Serves to make them particularly po lite to even our colored troops. In front of the 25th ClorPs (colored) our pickets have been in the habit of trading clothing for money and tobacco. The Jobrudes would pay in gold or greenbacks for such articles as our boys would , be willing to dispose of. A few days ago 'a very needy rebel approached our line, and selected.. certain things for which he was desirous of trading. Our colored pickets agreed to part with them, and handed them over. The Johnny paid In return such articles as he had on hand, and promised to make up the dikiieney on the following day. The soldiers coollMformed him that they WOW receive what he brought, and, In order to make the trade satisfactory, he ateiet throw himself 'in the bargain, Which last. donaltion Wag atlFn" edly assented to under the persuasive influence of a couple of bayonets. in front of Brig. Gen. Rimers lines this unfortu nate practice of trading, by which means Informs. tion, not unfreguently of a highly-prized character, is unintentionally communicated to the enemy, Was too often Indulged in. Stringent orders have been issued against LE, much to the disgust of the rebels, who no doubt regard it as the most recent act of Lincoln despotism. Previous to these orders, and while bargains were being exchanged between the pickets, nothing could exceed the respectful bearing of the Johnniea towards our colored troops. They Invariably addressed the white soldiers as "Yan kees," but in approaching the colored ones, they always saluted each as "Uncle"—a word which is wed hy Southerners as a term of respect towards Degrees. After orders had been promulgated against, any and all Intercourse with the enemy, by which his supply of necessary comforts were interdicted, the rebs forgot their former respect, and found consolation in calling our pickets "smoked Tan kees," when they .refosed all communication with them. ..4272 00 Brig.

Yesterday was a fine day, indicating that spring was already upon us, and It was taken advantage of. Commands went .through their maxceuvres more cheerfully, and the officers, without the haste occasioned by the cold weather, gave more atten tion to the troops and their evolutions. The most interesting of these ceremonies was the drill of General Draper's famous brigade of colored troops- a command that has distinguished itself on several occasions, and not unfrequently received especial mention from the general commanding. The bri gade is composed of the 22d U. S. O. T., who, under Colonel Made°, achieved a name and a fame in front of Petersburg on the 15th of June, and at 'Newmarket Heights on the 29th of Septem ber. _This regiment, regarded as among the best in the service, was recruited in Philadelphia, and the people of Pennsylvania may justly feel proud of its record. The 38th U. S. O. T., under Major Wm. H. Hart, and the 38th U. S. O. T., under Colonel Hall, two North Carolina regiments, which have never in any instance wavered or faltered, and the 118th U. S. O. T., from Kentucky, constitute one of the best fighting brigades in the service.! It was this brigade, commanded by Brevet Briga dier General A. G. Draper, that was on drill yester day, in a large field in the vicinity of Fort Brady. The regiments, with the exception of the 118th, have been in the service for some time and may bop:fatly regarded as veterans. When the brigade was drawn up in line.of.battle it presented $ fine martial ap pearance. The drill, in nearly every manoeuvre, was well executed, and the few slight mistakes which did occur were due, perhaps, to the misap prehension of commands rather than any other cause: The various intricate evolutions of the bri gade drill were executed in a manner which was highly gratifying to both officers and men. The rebel flag-of-truee boat William Allison Caine down to Cox's Landing yesterday afternoon, and received from Colonel Mulford, our commissioner of exchange, about seven hundred rebels, recently prisoners of war. They were meetly well clothed, and in good fighting condition. Some of our colored troops who were near by amused themselves by assuring them that, if they ever fell into their hands during an engagement, that the Government would not be annoyed with complicated questions of exchange, so far as they were concerned. They reminded the Johnnie's that they had not forgotten Fort Pillow, which was still their battle. shout. As the robs approached-their boat, they raised that yell of theirs, when our colored troops suggested to there they had better keep their breath, as they would want It soon when they got after them. Some three or four hundred more rebel prisoners are at Vezina, to go to Richmond to"•day, and in a. few hours we shall have the pleasure of welcoming one thousand of our returned heroes from Southern dungeons. The steamer New York, freighted 'with our brave but suffering soldiers, fresh from the oharnel-house of Southern torture, will start in a day or two for Annapolis, where these brave fellows will no doubt receive a reception due to their merits and the services which they have rendered to their country. In this connection it is but just to add that my letter of the 7th Inst., which animadverted upon the consideration extended to Moseby, the home thief, by certain officers, was, in no manner what ever, intended to reflect upon Colonel Mulford. During the exchange of prisoners, the Colonel is too much engrossed to attend to anything or any body but his official duties, and, besides, no one ac quainted with him would suppose him to be capable of volunteering courtesies to a fellow after the pat tern of Moaeby. This statement la made In justice to Colonel Mulford, as some have thought that, as he was -commissioner of exchange, the inference was that he either entertained the scapogallows or it was done with his consent and approval. In this matter Colonel Mulford is free from an complicity or suspicion. Major General Weitzel has returned to the com mand of the 25th Corps. HU headquarters have bean besieged by officers anxious to pay their re spects to him. BOWKON.

He seems to re gard the provost marshal general, Lieut. CoL o.l4anns.a, of the 7th Missouri Cavalry, as the principal offender.

Instead of curtailing the currency. as was pretended. it would bare the effect of Inflating it, thus perpetrating a fraud upon the coun try. He therefore offered the amendment, and was against further encroachments on the rights of the Slates, the State militia and the State courts haying been blotted out. Hr. 110LMIN, of lediana.said that of the $108.000,000 issued under the National 'Making law Massachusetts has one-fourth. Be submitted whether this amendment was not for the purpose of conforming the country at large to the interests which. have been secured by Mits. sachnsetts. Mr. BOOPBR explained that the banking espital of Massachusetts was $60,000.000, not one half of which was in Nstional Banks. Mr. HOLMAIS, of Indiana, obepoised the amendment, for, among other reaeons, that 1t proposed to lay hands on the bunting institutions of the States. After further debate various amendments were offered and rejected, among them one by Mr. WILSON, that no national banking association, a ft er It.

This was rejected by a vote of 40 against 65. Mr. Hooper s amendment, which had been much de bated, wee finally rejected, leaving the tax on hanks and barking as it now et ands lathe law. She amendment proposed by the Committee of Ways and Means, assessing !$ duty 0f.15 per cent on the excess of income over 11500 ,and a dotv of 10 per cent on the excess over *SACO, was amended so as to also collect the duty on incomes derived from bank and other dividends. and to collect /0 per cent. %Tray Over ets 000 excess.

Mr. sravisne knew nobody who desired to violate our contrasts. If the gentleman from lowa (Mr. Keaton) intended an insinuation, the argument was unworthy of tto (guise they were diecuesing. If we have made a bad bargain we should stand by it. Efewanted no more gold.heauing bonds Dmed.

Better have forty millions over than lye millions too little We are importing less than we were last year, and we may not obtain from customs as much coin as we need during the nextflscal 'nano meet our obligations. Mr. BkOOKS said that to-day it was proposed to tax cotton in specie: to morrow it would be proposed to de. mend specie for petroleum , and the heat day It would be urged on the hog and wheat of the West, and the bay of New Ragland. If more revenue in specie was the object, why not raise it in a tariff bill, and not by exciter Mr. MORRILL urged the committee not to strike out the reottirrmajth. payable in coin. Mr aTEVSNS, or Pennsylvania, said that 3 0.400 teoledles bible town bad stopped within the last month; and now, when there was a change to get cotton in order to revive the suspended manufactories,the gentleman (Mn.

If the project is• infamous, and for ulterior purpose!, which would be disgraceful to aIL ooncerned, the feet cannot long be disguised. Five per Cent., or ten, as proposed, of the value of ail minerale and oils produced from them lands, if the suppositions of some of the calculators are correct, would be an immense addition to the revenue of the State, and as monthly statements are to be made at Harris• burg,lt will be impossible to defraud the Treasury. There may be aomethirtg hidden which is yet to hr i i divulged, but until that exposure is made, prudent)°, at leaat, shouid insure the advocates of the hill freedom from insult and contumely. If en expellers is made which proves these persona guilty, they will receive the punkt rebuke they merit. The following is the proposed enactment : An ACT to repeal an act approved the twenty ninth day of *larch, Anne Domini one thousand eight hundred and forty.ntne, entitled "An act to repeal an act passed the eleventh day of April, one thousand eight hundred and forty-elht , en titled 'An act to encourage the further develop ment of the mineral resources of the Common- wealth of PennsylVania.'"

Te this an amendment has been added, requiring the owners to make monthly returns of income to Rarrleburg PM MONS TO VETBRANS OF 1812. An animated debate took place yesterday morn- lag on a resolution, offered some days since by Se nator Lowry, requiring the Committee on Pensions to report In favor of giving to the poor and destitute soldiers of the war of 1812 a pension of Sao, and a gratuity of .4.0. Kr. St. Clair made an eloquent speech in'opposltion to the system of giving the mo ney of the Commonwealth to men who were not fairly entitled to receive au& donations. He was followed by Mr. Wilson, who also ably opposed the resolution, and by Senators Lowry and Champneyg in favor. While willing to give to all our venerible patriots who e a rs really deserving, the majority of the Pension Committee are not willing to squander the State's funds. • The resolution paned, and Messrs. St. Clair, Wilson, and HOuSeholder, having that they could not conscientiously carry out the proololons, larked leave to be excused from Setting on `the committee. TEE PEACE BEEOLIITIONI3.

When the amendment of Kr. Wallace was voted upon, Mr. Hall said he voted in the negative because the amendment was a complete recogni- tion that the South was right in bringing on and carrying on the war, while Mr. Hopkins said he would vote in the affirmative because the propos!. tion embraced sentiments which had been repeated over and over again by , the President and leading men of the Repnbitow party. 11r.

Governor Curtin has sent to the Secretary of War his report relative to the condition of Camp Curtin, but it will not be printed until the subject is again brought before the Legislature, and the communi cation is called for. This report, and the fact that the House has passed a resolution appointing ajoint committee to go to Washington and request the President to remove Major Dodge from this post, will, it is to be , presumed, settle the Major's fate, and send him to some more congenial locality.

Mr. DONOVAN defended Msjo s iToodge, who, although a comparative stranger to him, was spoken of by per eons lad knew him well as one of the beat officers in the service. If any man had offered such a resolution in regard to him (Mr. Donovan) without giving him a hearirg, he would haunt that man to his 'rave and dese crate his very ashes: and he the return desired that Major Dodge should have a hearing.
