From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Deo. 3d. The victory a
Drainsvlle on the part Of our troops Is bril-
liant, especially as they had never been in any
action.
Letters found on dead bodies Of rebels show
the intense hostility of the South to the North
One said it was impossible for the Federals to
remain much longer on the Potomac. The ef.
feet OF news from England and pressure Of
Congress will compel Mcclellan to advance,
and In such event victory by the Confederates
is certain. hf t...
A Times dispatch says notes have passed be.
tween Lord Lyons and MIR. Seward about the
Trent affair.

comes necessary to say that the recent report Of
the select committee on Government Contracts
was approved of by Representative FELTON,, one
of the committee, with the exception of that
which referred TO the Military Department Of
the West
