the House committee on the subject,) entitled
"An Act to re organize the Congressional dis

REVOLT OF TWO NORTH CAROLINA REGI
MENTS IN CHARLESTON.
The Rebel steamer Merrimac.
The following additional news has been re
ceived since our evening edition of yesterday
The city of Saiarinah was understood to be
very strongly fortified in all its approaches.—
The force there was variously estimated by
refugees at from twenty to fifty thousand, pro
bably twenty thousand is more correct. The
greatest despondency existed among the people
and troops at Charleston.
The fall of Newbern created the greatest con
sternation. The fire-eaters ridiculed the North
Carolina troops, charging them with cowardice.
The shopkeepers and bakers in Charleston
also immediately refused to receive North Caro
lina money.
There being two North Carolina regiments
encamped in the city at the time, a revolt was
the consequence, and the shops were broken
open and the troops helped themselves.
Teese regiments had refused to serve any
longer, and were allowed to return home.
The advices from Florida are very encourag
ing. Many of the inhabitants were renewing
their allegiance.
No direct information of the abandonment of
Pensacola has been received, but it was gener
ally believed that our troops had crossed over
from Santa Rosa and occupied the place.
The latest intelligence received from Norfolk
by the underground railroad leaves no doubt
that the Merrimac is thoroughly repaired and
in commission ready for another expedition
against the wooden walls of the Federal navy,
and the river transports lying in the Rods.
The delay in her coming out is believed to
be caused by her waiting for ammunition for
the heavy guns that have lien placed on board
of her, and also for some infernal machines
which are being constructed by Bombastes
Maury.,
Theapamers Yorktown and Jamestown are
also being strengthened and more thoroughly
clad with iron, to accompany the Merrimac.
There is also a rumor that two more steam
ers are. being clad with iron at Rilhmond, to
join the expedition.
As tei•the loss of life on the Merrimac, we
have now what is claimed to be positive infor
mation, that it was pretty heavy. One of the
recently arrived contrabands states that he was
a nurse, in the general hospital, and that up to
the time of his departure he had helped to
shroud thirty-two of the crew of the Merrimac
and that both Capt. Buchanan and Lieutenant
Minor are dead. There was still a number of
the wounded surviving. They, the contrabands,
also state that the last two shots ot the Monitor
were represented to be the only ones that seri
ously injured the Merrimac. These were thrown
under her shield at the moment she attempted
to run the Monitor down.

A Mall tug came down the James river yes
terday afternoon, and at long range threw some
shell into Newport News camp. No damage
was done. The distance being so great, it was
thought to be useless with our guns to make
any reply.
The rumor is current here that Yorktown has
been abandoned by the enemy, but it is not be
lieved by the highest authorities.
Notwithstanding the great delay in the ap
pearance of the Merrimac, she is hourly ex
pected, and our naval and military commanders
are prepared to receive her at any moment or
the military station at Norfolk.
The Gulf States have been very severe on
Virginia chivalry since the defeat at Roanoke.
Even the Richmond Blues, the very pink of
chivalry, have fallen in public estimation.
All award bravery to O. Jennings Wise ; but
his father has so fallen in public estimation.
that he is proclaimed on the streets of Norfolk
a coward and a poltroon. In his escape from
Negg'e Head he rode thirty miles on horseback, not

self too ill to remain on Roanoke /eland at the

WASHINGTON, April 2.
The commissioners to examine into the af
fairs of the Western or Missouri department,
have made a voluminous report, in which they
state they examined one thousand two hundred
witnesses, and had claims presented them
amouutiug to eight millions donate. They re
mark they have devoted the principal part of
their report to an exposure of the abuses
which characterize the- late administration
of that department, and testify to the
integrity which generally bas been displayed
by merchants, mechanics and manufacturers,
when permitted to deal directly with the gov
ernment. Wide-spread as has been the demor
alization in official circles, and among their de
pendants and favorites, and startling as are
the frauds which have been attempted and con
summated, a large majority of the claimants
have presented themselves before the commis
sion unimpeached by imputations either on
their loyalty or honor.
The following despatches were received here
to-day, dated
WOODSTOCK, Va., April 2
" We have driven the enemy from Strasburg
to Woodstock, a distance of twelve miles, and
then to Edinburg, seven miles beyond. He
contested the march most of the way, and at
a strong position, which he contemplated
making a stand at Edinburgh, quite a
sharp contest occurred. He burned the midges
in his eight, except that at a narrow passage,
which we were enabled to reach in time to ex
tingush the flames, we lost but one man, and
had but one wounded.
The enemy suffsred more, but I cannot state
the extent.
Colonel Ashby received a shot through his
cap, which he exhibited with some sati.faction
to the people of Woodstock. Others suffered
more severely. The men behaved admirably.
During an advance yesterday, our rearguard
and skirmishers were frequently fired upon by
the rear guard of Jackson's retreating force.
We shelled them through town, and as often
of they appeared in range. After passing the
bridge over Stony Creek, they set fire to it,
but our troops arrived in time to save and, also,
another pile bridge and the railroad bridge, all
in two miles this aide of Edinburgh.
Our artillerists endeavored to pievent the
destruction by pouring into the enemy a shower
of shells.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 27th ult.,
places our loss at the Wiuchester battle at
twelve to fifteen hundred, theirs three hundred
and Arty to four hundred. Among their casu
alties were Col. L. S. Moore, of Winchester,sed
S. H Louner, of the General assembiy, killed,
and Col Echols of the 27th Va., wounded. The
second Virginia regiment lost one hundred
men..
Tie Rebels Removing their Tobacco Crop

WAsnairazoir, April 2.—lntelligence has been
received here from Richmond via Baltimore
that the rebels are r moving their tobacco to

and beyond Peteraburg. It is added that pri

and tobacco, the military having assumed the
charge of it.

Mr. LATHAM, (Cal.,) said that on the 26th ult.
he offered a resolution calling for certain cor

ex-President Pierce. He said the correepond
ence was now in the Senate with the exception
of one letter—he read the letter—he said he
had been repeatedly urged to have a committee
to investigate this question of the Knights of
the Golden Circle, as it was said by many to be
the mere fiction of the brain and many good
citizens Were unjustly aspersed, but he had no
time to take horn the duties to his own coustit

the Secretary of War be requested to inform the

The Senate passed a resolution that the

Mr. Wssnstras said that the resolution might
be right but if wrong it ought not to be pass
ed. He trusted that its consideration would be
postponed till to-morrow.
The resolution involved very serious conse
quences.
Mr. WYCLUTE, (gy.,) did not see what prac
tical good could arise from the passage of Ellen
a resolution, he at present could think of only
two Generals upon whom it could operate.—
The conferring of such power on the President
might lead to the disturbance of the relations
now existing in the army, they were assuming
too much in the way of legislation in regard to
that brance of the public service. To super
cede a General officer might be equivalent to
forcing him to reign.
Mr. OLIN, (N. Y.,) explained the resolution ;
be said suppose there were three brigadier or
major Generals, three commissions dated on
successive days, the President may assign either
of them to the command without regard to the
date of their commissions or seniority, it was

Mr. BIDDLE, (Pa.,) and Mr. Cox, (Ohio,) sev
erally cointed out the ambiguity of the resolu
tion, the latter suggesting that it be recommit
ted, as it proposed important military changes.
Mr. STEVENS (Pa.) did not believe that this
resolution was necessary. He moved to lay it
on the table. Disagreed to. The resolution
was then passed—yeas 81, nays 40.
On motion of Mr. Da.wa, (bass.,) of the go
vesnment contract committee, it was ordered,
that Aaron Higgins, of Boston, be brought be
lore the bar of the House on the charge of con
tempt, for neglecting or refusing to appear in
accordance with the subpoena of the Speaker,
otfore a sub-committee of the same.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the ststeof the Union on the Tax bill
(Hr. Colfax, (led.,) in the Chair )
An amendment was offered, bat rejected, to
tax bridge and canal companies three per
centum of their dividends.
Mr. c.TEVXNS requested the committee to pare
over sections concerning the inc .me duty, in
order to allow further time to agree upon the
proper words to be used, their being some diffi
culties exisiing in this respect. Stamp duties
were next considered. Among the amend
menis was the exemption of promissory notes
or inland bills of exchange from taxation.
Medicines, preparations, compositions, per
fumery and cosmetics are exempted from stamps
and duties when intended for exportation, of
which proper security must be given.
The second clause of schedule B was amended
so as to read "promissory notes, bank checks,
drafts and orders for the payment of any sum
drawn upoa any bank, trust company, or any
person or persons, companies or corporations,
at sight or on demand, except bank checks,
drafts or orders under $5O shall be charged two
cents duty."
Tue clause in regard to expresses was sup
planted by the following :
"For any receipt issued by any express com
pany or carrier for a single box, bale, pack'ge
or bundle, two cents, and fur any number
more • than one, five Cents." The charge for
entry of goods, wares or merchaudizs at any
custom house, either for consumption or ware
housing, was amended so as to read "where the
value does not exceed $lOO, and 25 cents when
above $lOO, and not more than $200,50 cents,
above $6OO one dollar.
