social atmosphere of the I ro-Slavery. miasm
which had so; long and so-tenaciously clung
about the Senate. The just grip uf the public
sentiment of tjie country .is at last upon this
body. To Mr. Wilkinson of Minnesota, who
introduced the resolution of expulsion, and to
Mr. Morrill of Maine; Republican in every
fiber, thanks are especially due for the result.
Of the many hblo’speeches made, that of Andy
Johnson of Tennessee was wonderfully effective.
This Democrat’s voice aad vote, with those of
Garret Davis, Mr. McDongal!, and the Missouri
Senators, effectually checkmated the traitor’s
endeavor to a martyr in a Re
publican Senate to parlHSn malice.
The scene at the close was dramatic. The
sudden illumination of the Senate hall dispelled
the shadows and gloom which enveloped the
action, at the instant the Cldrk began to call
the roll. There was deeper Uc decisiveness in
‘the“ No” with which Mr. Bayard answered to

battle went .on in earnest. The gunboats
steamed to tbe closest quarters, and poured in
their shot with' a rigor of service and sn nner
ring aim.whiob must have thoroughly bewilder
ed tbe bombarded rebels. Tbe lattpr returned j
tbrfireof our gn»* with determination, and the
fight raged botfy 1:40, at which time Gen. Til
ghmitn uncon'ditlonnlly 'surrendered. Mean
fwhile, it force of Infantry behind the fort, in*
j nuraberabout 5,000, fled with a swiftness pe
-1 culiar to the rebels when they have not every
advantage on their'side,! and were heard of no
more. The Union land.foroe, which had made
a circuit in order to' attack tho fort in the rear,
did not reach its destination till two hours after
the surrender. So it will be seen that this was
■ purely a naval victory. Tbe enemy lost, as it
is stated by one authority, five killed and ten
badly wounded. Our loss was as follows': On
the Cincinnati, 1 killed and 6 badly wounded;
on the Essex, 6 1 seamen and 2 officers were
wonnded, and 5 were missing. The chief por
tion of this loss was by reason of a distressing
.casualty, whereby a shot penetrated the boiler
of one of the gunboats, causing a number to
be badly scalded.. Among these was Captain
Porter, late of the Powhatan. Of prisoners,
we took a General, a Colonel, two Captains,
and not far from sixty privates. Quite ac
curate details cannot be expected yet.
In addition toi, tbe capture of the Fort, our
troops have taken another most important stepi
in seizing tbe Memphis and Ohio Railroad.'
This Connects Memphis with Bowling Oreen :
by a direct’line, and tbe Tatter place is thus
cut off from immediate' communication with
>its most important support. ’ Another road,-by
a circuitous route, connects the two places men
tioned, by way [of Nashville; but this is of
little use,, and moreover, a simple movement
up tbe Tennessee ißiver from Fort Henry will
serve to cut off that road also. Thus the rebel
forces at,Bowling Green, numbering, it is
thought, 3\3,000, are driven to the wall. They
must'fight or flee. 1 Looking at tho map of Ken
tucky and Tennessee, it will be seen that Padu-1
cab and Smithiand are at the heads of the
Tennessee and Cumberland Rivera. An expe
dition setting out from tbe former place natu
rally strikes Fort Henry as this did ; it may
then continue till it cuts off the railroad,~as it
has done, and afterward may pass on -to tbe
next road betore [alluded to. An expedition
moving from Smithiand np tbe Cumberland,
will naturally attack Dover, a point correspond
ing in sitnation to Fort Henry on the Tennes
see, and may then, if it chooses, push on to
Nashville. What movements are really on foot
we cannot say. ; It is clear, however, that a
great andjidmiralidy contrived plan has been
formed, and that we must look for rapid and
important action in that section'. Quo thing is
certain, that we htuelEfbken the strong line of
the enemy’s position, upset all his calculations,
placed him where be must fight a last.battle
with disordered forces, or purchase an ignom
inous safety in flight, and have put ourselves in
a position to command the entire field. Tbe
National flag is firmly planted now in Ken
tucky and Tennessee, and we know that what
ever work our troops are called on to do they
will do with their [might, sure of victory.
From Port Royal we have excellent news,
telling ns that there too the Uuion cause is j
moving an. A great expedition set out from
that, place on Sunday, the 2Gth ult. It com
prised 8,000 troopS, all the gunboats and light
draught steamers.! Its destination was Savan
nah, and it was< thought that Fort Pulaski
would be first attacked. Gun. Sherman was in
command. On Tuesday, the, 2Sth, heavy can
nonading was heard in the direction of Savan
nah by tho vessel which -brought this news.
It continued six hpurs. It will be remembered
that some days ago sve had a rumor of an at
tack on Savannah; since then the rebels have
kept silence, no paper having been permuted to
come by way of Norfolk. This reticenceshows
plainly enough that they have nothing favora
ble to themselves to communicate, and we may
expect, with confidence, very soon to hava in
intelligeacc of the most startling character

THE TIOGA COUKTY AGITATOR.
FBOM THE BCCK-TAJL3.
Ca*p Pxerewkt, Va„ FebpSd, 1862.
Friend Agitator' —l am at a loss to-night,
to know what to write that will interest yohr
anxious readers, for our camp is as dry fhr
news as an old contribution bps for dollars.
There has been no moving in the last two
weeks, and there can be none as lung as the
mud is as deep- as it i* at the present time. —
.It ia-impossible nrni those who are anxiously
looking to see a grand move of this army Sou th
ward, will look in vain for weeks, and perhaps
for months. I know they are anxious, and it is
right that they should be, but if they can't wait
until McClellan sees fit to move us, they had
better leave their warm and carpeted parlors,
short cake and honey, and Come to oH Virginia,
shoulder a gun, 40 rounds of cartridge, and a
knapsack that contains clothing enough to keep
yon warm, if you should happen to ; bivouac
some stormy night, a canteen of water,
and a haversack which contains three days
rations of cold Pork and dry hard bread, 'no
butter, no cheese, no nice plum sauce, or any
other kinds of nifc-nnes, and ask McClellan
for a pass through Manassas to Richmond and
I will assure you it will come'; when you are
ready and willing to do all this in the snow,
and ice, and mud, knee deep, then you may cry
“onward to Richmond 1” and untiltben.be pa
tient, and trust in those who are at the helm.
You are anxious, because you have friends who
are exposed to the vices of the camp, the dan
ger of disease, and the bullets, or perhaps are
in some lonely, damp prison, coll, or burning
with a fever in some hospital, and all looks
dark and drear, yet as dark as it may,seem to
you “there is light beyond."
Oar Colonel, Ilu'gh W. McNeil, received his
commission yesterday, and entered upon the
responsible duties of bis office to-day, lie is a
gentleman in' every respect, and is the’ same
mild and sociable man how that he was while
a Lieutenant in Camp Curtin, last Spring.
Col. Kane is in Washington; he will no
doubt resign. His health is poof.
If there are any in Tioga who think we have
not enough to eat, they had better look at the
figures —for since the 12th day of October last,
our company has saved over and above what they
could eat; $290.44. This goes into the com
pany’s fund, and ns we are not allowed by law
but $5OO on hand, we shall divide this among
the enlisted men of the company. We intend
to keep enough on hand to use in ease of sick
ness, or in ease one of our company should
die, to send his remains home to bis friends to
sleep in the scenes of bis childhood, where the
loved ones can scatter flowers upon his tomb.
This cannot always be done, bat whenever it
can be, no pains,-or gold, will be spared to ac
complish it. There are ties Chat bind the hearts
of soldiers together, that none but a soldier can
know. We feel like a band of brothers, united
in one common cause.
The snow is now about two inches deep.
This is the most that we have bad this winter.
The nioon is shining bright to-night, and the
sky is bright and clear for the first time in two
weeks. The boys all feel well, and the camp
rings with songs.
Two or throe prisoners have come over from
the rebels within the past week, and gave them
selves up to our pickets. They tell a sad tale of
the Southern army; it is all work and no play.
They say they were drawn into the army with
the tide of excitement, without ever
the cost; they were Jed on for months'with the
fofid hope that “Yankees” couldn’t fight, and
their flag would soon wave over the Capital of
the nation, and foreign nations would recog
nize the Southern Confederacy, and the North
would then be glad to acknowledge inde
pendence ; but all these bright visions have de
parted forever, and they now fully realize their
sad condition. They say but very few will ro
enlist when their time expires, and tbat will be
this month. If this betrue, (and no one doubts
it,) rebellion will soon heavtf her groan,
roll her blood-shot eyes, and go dowfi to the
regions of darkness forever. Col. Cricket.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune states that a very interesting con
versation took phme between President Lincoln
and Gen. Jim. L;lne just before the latter left
Washington to take command uf his Kansas
Brigade. The writer says, “ I know tills will
awaken hopeful confidence in the breasts of
thousands whose solicitude and patriotic impa
tience bare shaken their faith in the clearness
of the Executive head, and iu the courage
of (be baud that is at the helm.”
There were present at the time President Lin
coln, Gen. Lane, Senator Pomeroy, Commission
er Dole, a fuw members of the House, and a few
officers and clerks from different departments
of Government.
On turning to leave Gen. Lane said : '* Wi 11,
Mr. Lincoln.yuu know aiy way ; I shall pursue
tha policy upon which I began, and somebody
will get hurt."
To which the President replied ;
“Yes, General, I understand you. And the
only dfforence between you and me is that you
are willing to surrender fugitives to loyal own
ers in case they are willing to return ; while I
do nothelkve Vie United States Government has
any right to give them up in any case. And if
it bad, tbs people would not permit us, to exer
cise it."
Gen. Lana rejoined;
“That remark, Mr. President, makes me
happier than anything that has transpired
since the comencement of the war. And if you
will announce that as the active policy of the
Administration, and let us win one victory on
it, you will be the roost popular man ever on
this continent." _ '
Eight Cuii-dben- at a Birth. —On the 2d
of August, Mrs. Timothy Bradlee, of Truinball
county, Ohio, gave birth to eight children—
three boys and Eve girls. They are all, living,
and are healthy, but are quite small. Brad
lee’s family is increasing fast. He was mar
ried six years ago to Eunice Mowery, who
weighed 273 pounds on the day of her marriage.
She has given Sirth to two pair’of twins; and
now eight more, making twelve children in six
years. It seems strange,. hat nevertheless is
true. Mrs. Bradlee was a twin of three, her
mother and father both being twins, and her
grandmother the mother of fiv.e pairs of twins.
Mrs. Bradlee has named her boys after noted
and distinguished men ; one after, the Hon. J.
R. Giddings, who ‘ has given her a splendid
gold medal: one after the Rev. Hen. Elijah
Champlain, who gave her a deed of fifty acres
of land, and the other after James Johnson
who gave her a cow.— Letter in -V. I". Tribune;
