Lodis,' Not. 20.—Farther information received from the west, this morning, to the effect that in addition to the expedition of Gen. Pope against the enemy, near Clinton, another part of his forces, under Col. Davis and Major Marshall, surprised anothor camp of rebels on tho afternoon of the 18th, near Milford, a little north of lVarrcnsburg. A brisk skirmish ensued, when the rebels find ing themselves surrounded, surrendered. Davis took thirteen hundred prisoners, in cluding three Colonels, seventeen Captains, one thousand stand arms, sixty-fivo wagons, one thousand-horses, and a large quantity of toots, baggago and supplies<-- Our loss was two killed and eight wounded. Rebels loss not yet known. Information from Glasgow states that our troops captured about two tons of powder, buried on Claib Jackson's farm. Max Ilubbard captured sixty rebels, a day or two since, in Jackson county. The troops in Kansas have been stirring daring the past week, and good news is ex pected from them daily. SrDiLiA, Dec. 20.—Early yesterday morn ing, our scouts brought us information that the 1 '.rge rebel train and the reinforcements which wo had marched South to intercept it, had divided, and the larger portion wore marching South frem Warerly, intending to eamp at night near Milford. General Pope brought the main body of the army in posi tion a few miles south of Waverly, sent out a strong force under Col. Jeff. C. Davis, within a few miles of Warrensburg and Knob Knos tcr, to come on the left and rear of tho enemy, at the same time ordering Merrill's cavalry to march from-Warreosburg and como op to the right. Colonel Davis pushed rapidly forward, and came up to the enemy in tho aftornoon, drove in the pickets, carried a strongly defended | bridge by a vigorous assault, and drove the I enemy , into the timber, who, finding himself [ surrounded, surrendered. Twolvo hundred men, including two colonels, one lieutenant colonel, ono major and seventeen captains were taken prisoners, and sixty wagons, heavily laden with supplies and clothing, and a large number of borscs and mulos, foil iuto oar hands. Our loss was two killed andfour teoo wounded. That of the enemy is consid erably greater. This if the best planned and executed action of the wnr, and reflects great credit on the General commanding, and the ■ oflieors aud men who so fsithlully and promptly carried out his project. Seoaua, Dec. 20.—C01. Palmer's brigade arrived here last night, and Gen. Popo is cx- ] pectcd to-day. All the information from the North and West is to the effect that no efforts have been spared-, to send Prieo an ample supply of clothing for Winter. All, or near ly all of this has fallen, or will fall into our bands. Nearly 200 hsavily laden wagons arc already in our possession, together with a largo quantity of ammunition, arms, a thou sand horses, tents, camp equipage, Ac., and between lboo and 20UO recruits have been taken prisoners. Maj. Hubbard, of the Ist Missouri Cavalry, has captured over CO rebel reernits within tho past few days, killed several others, and taken a considerable number of tents, ecvoral wagons, a quantity of baggage and arms, and burned a mill which had been supplying the rebels for some time past. Altogether I the rebellion has received a terrible shock in | this section oT the country withiu tho present week. It is thought by many that Price will cross tho Osage to assist his Generals, Stem and Slack, who are now in the river counties with 40UU or 5000 men, to escort the reernits and supplies to their main camp at Osceola. If he docs, he will be compelled to stand a general engagement, in which ovent there is no question whatever but that he will be badly defeated and bis army entirely scat tered. Important from Kentucky* Cixcikxati, Dec. 20.—Tho Commcrt Frankfort dispath, to-night, says there is | nothing from Somerset to-day. Two Union I men and one secessionist write from Owings- j vilic, on tho 19th, saying that it is reported, and generally believed, that Marshall and I Williams hare 15,000 troops between West Liberty and Piketown, with scouts oxtending I near Owingsvilie. Tho gentlomen receiving I the letters fears it is true, though not guner- 1 ally bclioved at Frankfort. The Hoaso adopted, by the usual party vote, a resolution that Kentuoky assume tho pay-j ment of her portion of the direct tax imposed by Congress. _ I Tbe donate adopted tho House resolutions j on Fedornl Relations, with amendments en- | dorsing tho present action regarding Fro- 1 mont’s proclamation and Cameron's report, and requesting tho President to dispense with Secretary Cameron. The vote was unanimous on tho apicndmcnt. Louisville, Dec. 20.— 'Gen. Johnson’s Bri gade made a rcconnoissanco in forco to-day, "six miles south of Green river, without find ing n trace of tho enemy. No official account of the Mumfordsville fight had yet boon re ceived at Head-Quarters, nor anything from SchooplT. From tbe Lower Potomac. Williamsport, Dec. 20. —Affairs in and around this point arc quiet, oxcept tbe cx- j change of shots with tho onomy at Dam No. 5 and at Falling Waters. The rebel Jack son's battery at the former place, including rifled gun, has been at work cn doavoring to the dam, which now seems to be tho principal olycct of his demon stration. H»s fire is responded to by two parrottguosof Knapp'sPennsylvaniabattery, I at Falling Waters. Ono section of Best's ! battery has been operating occasionally against two of Jackson’s guns. The design of the rebels at Falling Waters appears to be to distract attention from Dam .No.. 5. - Tho effect of our fire has not been devel-* oped. The enemy's guns produced no result. -There is not tbe least danger of Jackson attempting to cross the river. Deserters from tho rebels say that he has been ordered to de stroy Dam No. 5 at all sacrifices. The Connecticut sth has been ordered to join Gen. Kelley's command, and will report at Hancock or Pomeroy in a few days. Col. Kenloy’s Ist Maryland, Col. Murphy's 29th Pennsylvania, and Liout. Cushingr sec tion of Best's Battery arrived here to-day. Col. Leonard’s forces have boon so disposed as to prevent any danger of a surprise. The Mason and. Slidell Difficulty. New York, Dec. 20.—A special dispateh from Washington to tho World says the Gov ernment dispatohos concerning tho Mason and Slidell difficulty will bo of a dignified but most conciliatory nature. They will satisfy thei English Cabinet that no insult was in tended, and there is not the slightest doubt bui that the affair will be speedily, honorably ana amicably arranged. . - jßker and Weather at toaisyillc. f 3 is tills, Dcc.iO.—Xh« dvor-ia falling ft with-6 bat 4 inohoa fator in the .

Mr. Wickliffe, of Ky., presented tho resolu tions of the Kentucky Legislature in faror of relieving Ireland, in view of tho probable fam ine. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Julian, of Ind., offered a resolution that tho Committee on the Judiciary be in structed to report a bill so amending tho Fu gitive Slave Law, of 1850, as to forbid the re capture or return of any fugitive from labor, without satisfactory proof being first made that the claimant of such fugitive is loyal to the Government. Mr. Holman inquired whether his colleague would not consent to make this resolution merely of inquiry. Mr. Julian replied that he preferred tho present form of resolution. Mr. Holman moved to lay the resolution on the table. Not agreed to—yeas 39, nays 78. Mr. Wickliffe, of Ky., ineffectually appealed to Mr. Julian so to amend the resolution as to confine its operation to tho citizens of States which have or may secede. The resolution was passed—yeas 78, nays 39. Mr. Arnold, of Illinois, introduced a reso lution, ' which ''was adopted, tendering the thanks of Congress to Col.

Mr. Lovcjoj,yf Illinois, offered a resolu tion that the Committee on the Judiciary re port a bill fur the confiscation of all the prop erty of all citizens found in armed rebellion against the Government of the United States, aud such as aid and abet tho rebellion, and the unconditional liberation of their slaros and protection of tbo slaves from recapture by their rebel master*. Tbo House refused, by a vote of 52 yeas against 50 nays, to order the previous question an tho passage of the resolution. Mr- Vallandigbatn moved to commit tho resolution to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. moved tbaf Mr. Vallandig hnm’s motion be tabled. JAgreed to; yeas 61, nays 56. -Such action was thereafter taken as had tho effect of laying tho whole subject on tho tablo by 2 majority. Mr. Wilson offered a resolution directing the Committee on Military Affairs to report a bill providing an additional Article of War by which all officers of the army shall be pro hibited from using any portion of tho furcc under thoir respective commands for the pur pose of returning fugitives from service or labor, and providing for the punishment of such officers by dismissal from the service. Pending the consideration of tho resolution, tbo House adjourned till Monday.

Also, a potition asking for the re moval of Jesso I). Bright from tho Senate. Mr. Wilson, of Moss., presented a potition for tbo establishment of asystem'for the ex change of prisoners. Also, a report from tho Military Committee with n joint resolution expressing recognition of the gallantry of Gen. Lyon and tho soldiora under his com mand at Springfield. Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, mado a few re marks in eulogy of the oharacter of Gen. Lyon, with a sketch of tho battle of Spring field, whoro the warrior of this war enaod his gallant and well-spent life, and a triDutc to tho gallantry and bravery of his soldiers. Mr. Dixon, of Conn., also spoke of the true worth and dovotion to the country, which characterized Gon. Lyon. Had Lyon lived, he thought the disasters in Missouri would not have occurred. Mr. Foster, of Conn., said he was an inti mate friend of Qeo. Lyon Bomo of tho last letters which Lyon wrote, were written to him. Connecticut mourns hitu as a gallant and true son, and the nation mourns him as a patriot and hero. The resolution was passed.

Y., reported a bill to pro hibit the sale of liquors to soldiers in the District oi Columbia. The bill is an amend ment to tho former bill on this sobjoet, and prohibits not only tho sale to soldiers, but drinking on tbc premises.

Mr. Wilson introduced a bill providing for tho organization of a staff to bo attached to each division of tho army, regulars and vol unteers. The resolution offered by Mr. Saulsbury, of Dol.j calling on tho Secretary of War for a copy of the proclamation of Gen. Pholps, and by r what authority it had boon made, was taken up. Mr. Trumbull moved to amend so as to In clude the proclamations mado by all other Generals. Mr. Wilton thought there was no necessity for sending for the proclamations. Generali wore appointed tonse the sword and not the pen, and if they do not use the eword better than the pen, they should be mustered out of the sorviee. The best thing that could be done wasAo make a statute that no General shall be allowed to make any. proclamations. Mr. Sanlsbury wanted a disavowal from tho Administration that no authority had boon given for suoh a proclamation. Mr. Riee, of Minnesota, said that if the subordinate officers have not carried out the wishes of tho President, it was his duty to correct the wrong. Ho movod to lay the res olution on the tablo.
