We learned yesterday from an officer direct from
Camp Cheatham, that the Federal forces at HenGer-
son. Ky, had moved from that place to Jacksonville
where they were Joined by others, swelling the
column to 10000 men; and that it was believed to
be their intention to march Oh Hopkinsville. The
Confederate States troops at Hopkinsvile had been
ordered to fall back to Clsrksvile, which place is
to be fortified and, if attacked, defended.
We have no doubt that the number of the Fed
eral column is greatly exaggerated, and purposely
with view to alarm and terrify the people in that
section of country, and induce Gen. Johnston to
weaken his command at Bowling Green by sending
portion of it to Hopkinsville to intercept the en-
envy We shrewdly suspect this shallow piece of

SIR Your communication informing me of the
acceptance of my resgnation has been received
You state that cit due 60 seTeSpsct that should
remark on tie improperly of your using this De
partment as the channel for conveying disrespact-
full and insulting comments on the action of the
COmmandes>in Chief of the Army and the, Chief
Magistrate of this Confederaey.n My resignation
had to be sent through your Department. 1t is the
proper military channel, which your short sojourn
in the Department made you ignorant OF. How
your self respect could have been wounded by the
plain, unvarnished statement of old soldier, am
at q loss TO divine. Suffice it to say, that my com
munication was intended for the Executive, and
though you have attempted to hoist your sefrespect
before the country in defence Of an Executive who
chooses to do this and to do that the face of the
public opinion of the army and the country doubt
very much whether, in trying to preserve your
own ssifTespect (which has not been assailed you
win not lose the respect of the country.
Very respectfully, your Obedient servt,

A Brush with thc LincoinItes,

The garrison on Warsaw Island, consisting of the
Republican Blues, Captain Anderson, and Coast
Rifles, Captain Pritchard, had the privilege of q
sight Of and shot at the enemy on Wednesday after
noon. 1t appears that the schooner Elite, which
left here some days ago with cargo of naval stores
bound for Havana, by some mishsp stranded of
Warsaw beach while going out. Wednesday after
noon large .. S. war steamer made her appear
ance in the offing, and coming to anchor, des-
patched three launches with about one hundred and
fifty men, and howitzer or mortar, to take DO
session Of or burn the wreck. Capt Anderson who
lis in command, Immediately s0nt out considerable
force from the lntrsnchments, ordering them
through the woods to point opposite the wreck,
and within musket>shot of the enemy, when the lat
ter should reach their destination. The party lay
in ambush until the launches got within reach when
they sailed out upon the beach, and opened ter
ribe fire upon them. The enemy returned the salu-
tation with shell from their gum and the firing was
kept up for some time, though without damage to
our troops.
When the enemy commenced firing shell, Cap
tain Anderson turned the guns Of the fort upon
them, and kept up the fire until dark came on,
though they were TOO far round the point of the
Island for the shots be directed with accuracy.
Our men could give no idea of the damage done TO
the enemy, but think they must have suffered to
some extent from the fire of their muskets.
Yesterday morning, We learn, the wrecked schoo-
ner was on the same spot and the steamer missing.
We hope the enemy will not be deferred from fur
Their visits by this warm reception given them on

SENATE.-The resignation Of the Vice President
as presiding officer Of the special session Of the
Senate was read and accepted.
Mr.. Hale introduced a resolution appointing
Mr. Foote presiding oficer Of the special session,
which was adopted and Mr.. Foote, with a few
remarks, took the chair.
Mr.. Wilson moved that committee Of two be
appointed TO wait upon the President and inform
him Of the election Of Hon Mr.. Foote az presiding
officer Of the Senate. which motion was agreed
to, and Messrs. Wilson and Bright were appointed
to discharge that duty.
Mr.. Wade presented to the Senate the creden-
elect from Ohio.
Mr.. Sherman having taken the usual oath to
support the Constitution
Mr.. Simmons rose to q personal explanation,
relative to the Misunderstanding between him
and Mr.. Clingman.
This arose from the Senate report In the Balti-
more Sun of few days since, referring to the le-
gality Of Mr Clingman's election by the North
Carolina Legislature
Mr.. Hale moved to take up the resolution in.
troduced by him few DAYS since that the Senate
proceed to election for Sergeant-at-Arms, Door
keeper and Assistant Doorkeeper on Saturday al
two o'clock.
Mr.. Bright moved the postponement of the sub
jet till the first Monday In December.
The yeas and nays were then called on the mo-
ton to take up the resolution, resulting-yeas %
nays13
The resolution being before the Senate, Mr.
Bright moved the postponement of the considera.
ton Of the resolution till the first Monday In
December; on which the yeas were 10, nays %.
Mr. Breckenridge moved its postponement til
Monday next, at 2 O'Clock 2. m. He desired to say
that during his service az Presiding Oficer there
had been but one discharge, and that was where
the party was actually guilty Of dishonesty. None
OF the Senators were aware Of the political
principles of any Of its officers, and he hoped
that II they were to be removed, it would be post
poned till December, so that they could obtain
employment for themselves elsewhere, In the
meantime.
Mr. Hale was speaking when our report closed
