Weauserow, Kart& 12.
•The official report of Lient. Pendergraat, of
the Congress, addressed to Commander Mars
ton, has been' forwarded to the Navy Depizt
meat.
Lieut. Pendergrast states that, owing to the
death of the late commanding officer, James B.
Smith, it becomea my painful duty to make a
report to yon of the part which the 'United
States frigate Congress took in the efforts of
our vessels at Newport News to repel the attack
of the rebel flotilla on the Bth inst.
The report states that when the Merrimac,
with three small gunboats, were seen steering
down from Norfolk and had 'approached near
enough to discover her character, the ship
was cleared from action. At ten minutes after
two o'clock the Merrimac opened with her bow
gun with grape, passing us on the starboard side
at a distance of about 800 yards, receiving our
broadside and giving us one in return, After
passing the Congress she ran into and sunk the
sloop of-war Cumberland. The smaller vessels
then attacked us, killiug and wounding many
of our crew. Seeing the fall of the Cumber
land, we set the jib and top-sail, and with the
assistance of the tug-boat Zonave ran the vessel
ashore.
At half-past two the Merrimac tool a position
astern of us at a distance of aliout one hundred
and fifty yards, and raked us fore and aft with
shells, while one of the small steamers kept up
a fire on our starboard quarter. In the mean
time the Patrick Henry and the Thomas Jef
ferson, two rebel steamers, approached us from
up the James river, firing with precision and
doing us great damage. On two stern guns
were our only means of defence. These were
soon disabled—one being dismounted and the
other having its muzzle knocked away. The
lien were knocked away from them with great
rapidity and slaughter by the terrible fire of
the enemy.
Lieutenant Pendergrast first learned of the
death of Lieutenant Smith, at four and a-half
o'clock, the death happened ten minutes pre
vious. Seeing that our men were being killed
without the prospect of any relief from the
Minnesota, which vessel had run ashore in at
tempting to get up to us from Hampton Roads,
and not being able toget a single gun to bear upon
the enemy, and the ship being on fire in several
&ben, upon consultattion with . Commander
Wm. Smith, we deemed it proper to haul down
our colors without any further lose of life on
our part. We were soon boarded by an officer
, the Merrimac, who said he would take
.barge of the ship. He left shortly afterwards
and a small tug came along side, whose captain
demanded that we should surren der and get out
of the ship, as he intended to burn her imme
diately. A sharp fire with muskets and artil
lery was maintained from our troops on shore
upon the tug, having the effect of driving her
off.
The Merrimac agaih opened on us, although
we had a peak to show that we were out of ac
tion. After having fired several shells into us,
she left us and engaged the Minnesota and the
shore batteries, after which Lieut. Pendergrast
states the wounded were taken ashore in small
boats, the ship having been on fire from the be
ginning of the action, from the hot shot fired
by the Merrimac.
He reports the death of the following officers:
Lieut. Joseph B. Smith, acting master; Thomas
Moore and pilot William Rhodes.
The following extracts from the report of
Commander Purviance of the United States fri
gate St. Lawrence in regard to the action with
the rebel flotilla at Hampton Roads, will prove
interesting:
At half past eight we got under way in tow
of the Cambridge, and when abreast of the
rebel battery at Sewall's Point, the battery
opened fire, one of the shells exploding under
the fore foot of the St. Lawrence doing, how
ever, no material injury. The fire was re
turned, and it is believed with some effect. The
Cumberland had at this time gone down, hav
ing been run into by the Merrimac, and the
Congress had surrendered after a terrible
slaughter of her men, and when rendered per
fectly powerless by the fire of the enemy.
The Mirmatota was aground, and was enga
ging the enemy, whose fire consisted of the
rebel steam tam and four or five aide - wheel
gunboats. When near the Minnesota the St.
Lawrence grounded, and at that time opened
tire, but her idiot done, no, execution.
The armor of the Merrimac, proved invnlner
able to her comparatively feeble projectiles.—
Taking advantage of these protentibre3 circum
stances the Merrimac directed her attention to
firing several projectiles of formidable dimen
sions,one of which an eight pound shell,
penerited the starboard quarter about feu,
inches shove tbe water line, passed' throng - h . "
the pantry of the guard room and into the state
room of the assistant surgeon, on the port side;
completely demolishing the bulk, , ; head r and
then struck against a strong iron bar which
secured the bulls eye of the port.' It returned
into the ward• room where it expended. It
fortunately did not explode and .no one was ,
injured.
The damage done by this shot proved the
power of the projectiles which she employed,
and readily explained the quick destruction of
our wooden and antiquated frigates. Our po
sition at this time was one of some anxiety—
being aground. The tug Young America came
alongside and got us of, after which a powerful
broadside from the spar and gun deck of the
St. Lawrence, then distant about half a mile,
throw:it into the Merrimac, induced her to
withdraW, whether from necessity or discretion
is not known.
The report of Capt. T. J. Van Brent, in com
mand of the Minnesota has been received to the
Navy Department.
It states that the Monitor came alongside of
the Minnesota at two o'clock on the afternoon
of the 10th of March, having arrived the night
previous and reported for duty. All on board,
at her appearance, rejoiced that they bad found
a friend that would stand by them in their hon
of trial.
At six o'clock on that day, the enemy again
appeared, when the crews were beat to 'quarters,
but he ran past the Minnesota and the togs.
At this time the Minnesota being aground,
Capt. Van Brent ordered some of the spar deck
guns to be thrown overboard, and sent half of the
crew on board.a tug to lighten the , ship, after
which superhuman efforts were made to get her
off. After succeeding in getting her a half mile,
she struck again, for the tide had fallen so much
that there was not water enough to float her
in the channel. At length, however, she was
towed out of the mud into deep water, and at
the time of writing the report, the Minnesota
was at anchor opposite Fortress Monroe.
Fleet Surgeon Wood, of the Minnesota, re
ports the following list of killed and wounded:

SENATE
WASHINGTON, March 12
The motion to strike out the ninth section,
which provides a deduction of ten per cent on
all salaries paid by the government, excepting
that of the President, Bte., was rejected. The
bill was then passed.
The bill for the release of all persons held to,
service or labor in the District of Columbia was
taken up.
Mr. DAvis offered an amendment that all
persons so liberated should be colonized,
and appropriating one hundred thousand dol
lars for that purpose. Adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Moss=,
(Vt.,) of Ways and Means Com
mittee, said they had authorised the issue of
bonds andrates on all forme during the present
Congress, to the amount of nine hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. The appropriations
for 1862 are nearly five hundred and fifteen
millions. If the war continues till 1868, our
indebtedness will a nine or ten hundred mil
lions of dollars. TB' pay interest on this will re
quire sixty or seventy millions annually; our or
dinary expenses cannot, under any circumstances
be less than sixty millions a year, and the mili
tary establishment after the rebellion will likely
require twenty-five million beyond thatamonnt
The financial measures in contemplation will
yield even more than is necessary to meet the
wants of thetretteury. In the preparation of the
tax bill, the committee looked at the con
dition of the several States, as well as
that of the United States, that they all
might together act harmoniously. - The United
States has the right to demand whatever may
be necessary to sustain its public credit, honor
and existence as a nation. The bill is not a
personal or party measure, but one imperiously
demanded by the general welfare. It was for
Congress to judge how much of it should be re
jected or permanently • retained. That the
committee had shown a disposition to be
just to every interest, would not be
questioned. Many intelligent • gentlemen had
been before the committee, and gave valuable
information touching nearly the whole range
of objects on which the House was now called
on to legislate. In a very few instances had
any asked to be exonerated, or exempted from
the payment of their proper share for the suste
nance of the government, but the committee
sought to avoid extremes, preferring to levy
duties on a large number of objects, than to
confine them to a narrow field.
He proceeded at length, to explain the va
rious sections of the bill, showing the effects, of
the tax on the many articles subjected to it.
In the course of his remrks, he said no duty
is designed on literary or scientific° -works',

Mr. WAD3WORTH, (Ky.) expressed his opposi
tion to the bill.
Mr. Burnam replied to Mr. Wickliffe, whose
opposition to the bill was based on the Presi
dent's emancipation policy.
Miring the'debate a sensation was produced
by Mr. Wickliffe pronouncing Mr. Hickman's
conduct, in calling him to order, as indecent,
to which Mr. Hickman attempted to reply in
excited language. Order was, however, soon
obtained. The House then
