Le Sado of to-day says that the indignation
which the cruel oppression under which Poland has
so long groaned ought in reason alone to excite,
that the maledictions that ought alone to be pro-
nounced at all times and under all circumstances
over the Treaties of Partition have now been
expressed with all becoming energy by the Prince
Napoleon. As the Prince Napoleon has demon-
strated, it adds, the Polish Question ought not in
any way be a mere party quk•stion. In regard to it
all classes of French society are of one mind. All
France, upon this one point is in accord. Nay
more—at London as at Paris, at Stockholm as at
Naples and at Turin, cordial acclamations encourage
the glorious defenders of Polish independence-

Accounts from Nashville show that a renewal of
the fight between the Federals end the force under
Van Dorn had taken place at Springville, near
Franklin, Tennessee. General Van Dorn is said to
have had 18,000 men under his command, and the
Federals, being inferior in numbers, were defeated.
Three regiments of infantry, under Coburn, of the
33d Indiana, were entirely cut to pieces or cap-
tured. The cavalry and artillery escaped. The
men fought splendidly throughout the whole day,
but the heavy fire of the batteries in front, and the
movements of superior numbers on the flanks, were
too much for them. Gen. Gaut was expected to
come up with reinforcements from Franklin, but
he did not arrive.

The rebel account of the capture of the Indianola

and boats have been taken out.

pinwall, which arrived at this port yesterday, re-
ports being chased by a mysterious propeller off the
coast of Florida, who, when first seen, was flying
the Stars and Stripes, Union down—a signal of
distress. But before making towards the vessel she
hauled down the flag, put steam on, and gave chase;
but, as Captain Tinklepaugh had a million and a
quarter of specie on board the Northern Light, he
made all th, speed he could, and outran his pursuer.

ing Committees were announced by the Presi-
dent pro tempore, Mr. Foot. A resolution was
introduced for the printing of ten thousand

Office report and four thousand copies of the acts

gress. The proposed additional rule of the Senate
Was called up. It requires that the oath of loyalty
passed by Congress in July last shall be subscribed

dent. On the conclusion of the executive session
discussion was resumed on the proposal to admini-

present followed his example. Without transacting
