TENNESSEE TRoOPs IN RIcHNoND.-Tbe

lENFEssEE TROOPS IN hICHMQND--lue
Lynchburg correspondent Of the Express says;
The first regiment Of Tennessee volunteers
left this morning for Richmond. They are a
noble and daring looking set Of mountsineers,
and will doubtless do good service. This regi-
msnt is principally from Lincoln county, Ten
nessee, and commanded by the following Off
GERS P. Turney, colonel; W. d. Holman,
ieutenant-colonsl; W. W. Estili, major; W.
w. Hardwiek, aid-de-camp; W. G. Brooks,
eommissary; J. W. Curtis, quartermaster; DR..
Wallace Estill, surgeon. This regiment was
fully organized, numbering 9s7 men, and ten
dered their services to President JED. Davis be-
fore Tennessee had made any move toward Sc
cession.
I am sorry to state that row occurred at
Camp Davis last night, which resulted in tie
death Of Lieut.. Davidson, OF the Tennessee
volunteers. He was shot through the heart by
private TAYLOR. / an unable to furnish tie
PARTICULARS. Taylor was arrested, ironed and
carried to Richmond.

Congressional.

Both branches of the National Congress
arc progressing so favorably with the busi-
ness upon which they woro called to act
that they will probably adjourn in three
weeks from the time of commencement The
measures recommended by the Executive
and his constitutional advisers have nearly
oil been considered, and many of them pass
cd upon. The President is authorized TO
cnll out 100000 men, and S500,O00,000 arc
placed at his disposal for carrying on the
war vigorously. The only alternative of re-
sisting force by force, is well understood;
and the Presidents acts in the promises arc
heartily endorsed, The traitor Bon Wood,
Of New York, offered resolution in the
House, on Monday, inviting the Governors
of tho States to call their Legislatures to-
gether to provide for the election Of Com
missioners, to meet at Louisville in Scptcm-
ber, with view of patching up peace
Tho resolution was promptly laid on the
table, by vote of % to 81. Our Bcprcsen-
tatives were undoubtedly of the opinion that
the half million commissioners soon to be
upon the feld could best "scttlc our unhap-
py difficulties"

Government and immediately after set to
work aiding and abettiug the cause Of rebel

time in visiting the various camps, with a
view no doubt to ascertain the exact poitl-
cal sentiments of the various regiments
Among others he visited the First and Soc
ond Ohio; but no sooner was his presence
made known than he received an order To
leave. He thought il an outrage that n Con
grcssman from Free State could not he
permitted to take part in the destruction of
the Union, without being treated to such IN
dignity by soldiers from his own District
He left in few minutes after, however,
when the soldiers gavo him the benefit of
misses and groans till he was out of sight
