splendid shooting to-day at Miners Hill
They fred q dozen rounds with Sohrapnel

Tribune correspondence:
Rumor grows into belief that Secretary
Stanton will speedily take in fact, 90 he has
commenced in form, the conduct Of the war,
which usage and departmental Law give
him the right to do.
The scene ct the close Of the expulsion Of
Senator Bright was dramatic. There was
desperate deoisiVeness in the HEop with
which Baysrd answered to his name When
Oarlile, Of Virginia, voted no, the futter
was significant and loud. He had been
counted only among the doubtful.
The Californian, McDougal, snd Mr..
Simmons, were at first absent, but not q
moment too soon came in, and 80 votes de-
eided the Law that in the American Senate
hereafter no traitor shall have seat
When the result was announced the gal
lery burst into applause, but was checked
instantly. Eu
Mr.. Bright then bundled up the portable
properly on his desk, turned his back upon
the court which had tried him, went to Sec
retsry Forneys room, drew pay to the last
cent, and with q defiant stride passed into
the public Land Committee room, where his
wife awaited him In her presence the
actors costume fell, the ruined politician
sat down, and, haggsrd and crushed, con-
templated the wreck he had made Of his
fortunes.
Mr.. Arnold was authorised to-day to re
port fully the views Of the lake and river
defence committee, upon the forti6ostions
Of the frontier, and the arming and equip
ing of vessels for the lakes. Their recon-
mendstions will be thorough.
tis said that Gov. Morgan's nomination
as Major General will be rejected by the
Senate.
If it ia confirmed it Is spprehended that
every Governor Of every Free State will
claim this rank and emoluments besides.
The New York Times Paris correspondent
states that . secret document from JEFF.
Davis has been furnished the Governments
Of France and England, which gives full
details Of the military and commercial re-
sources Of the COnfedeFaoy, and which
points out in detail the advantages which
France would derive BY aiding in the es
tablishment Of the new government
In its details Of military resources
France is expected to see that the Confed-
eFaey Is able to resist the North forever,
which entities them to recognition, while
in its commeroisl details are seen the en-
tioing phantom Of free trade and CONNER
cisl riches. -
