Gen. Strong, the present military com
mander of the post, at Cairo, Illinois, had
all the Government stores removed to
wharf boats, or placed in the upper sto-
ries of the national warehouses, when the
recent flood came. Finding the danger
imminent, he offered a large price for the
services of laborers for q few hours in Sc
curing Government property. Although
there were a large number of unemploy-
ed men in town, they almost uniformly
refused, demanding a most ~exofhitant
price for their services, thinking probably
that he would have no other alternative
than to give it. Highly inoen ed at this
unpatr;otic and u%ngenerous conduct, Gen.
Strong ordered out the military patrol,
and Selling on some thirty idlers whom he
found lOaing at the corner of the streets
and in the various saloons, he set them to
work at the point of the bayonet. The
hint was not lost and he soon had a plen-
ty of workmen at a fair price.

Legislative Proceedlngs-Apri1 30.

In the Senate, the Committee on Fed
eral Relations reported in regard to the
resolution relative to the Improvement
and Notifications of the defences of the
State, that it be postponed to the second
Tuesday of January, 1866. Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Sprague, the Cover
nor was requested to appoint a thanks
giving and prayer for blessings to the peo-
pie of the State.
The thanks of IA eSenate were rendered
to the officers, clerks, sergeants-at-arms.
and to the clergy who had opened the SEES
sions with prayer.
The per diem question coming UP the
committee On retrenchment reported back
the Senate bill to fix the compensation of
members of the General Assembly. as
amended by the House, without recon-
mendation. Mr.. Gunckel moved to
amend by providing hat no member of
the present General Assembly shall re-
ceive more than three dollars per day.
Mr.Flinck moved to amendt the amend
ment by inserting " two dollars"
On Mr.. Finck's amendment % the yeas
were IL, nays Is. On Mr.. Gunekel's, yeas
10, nays %.
Mr.. Hitchcock offered an amendment
to allow $500 for each session, and 81 for
each % miles of travel, which was adopted
yeas Is, nays ID. Also, that the act
shall take effect from and after the 3Ist
of December, 1868. The amendments
were then agreed to-yeas 20, hays 10.
In the House, Mr.. West reported an
amendment to the House bill to fix the
fees of county clerks. After a prolonged
strife it was passed. 1t is the old law as
to fees, but in criminal cases the clerks
are to look to the defeated parties for
their fees. instead of to the county-ex-
cept the County Commissioners may al
low 500 from the treasury towards losses
in this way.
The Senate has passed the House bill
appropriating S 1000 for the purchase of
grounds in the Spring Grove Cemetery at
Cincinnati, for the burial of Ohio volun-
teers who die at that city, or who may be
brought.there for interment.

Another battle has taken place between
Gen. Candy and the Texans at Porolo, on
the Rio Grande, where the Texans had
fortified themselves. The enemy were
defeated. Our loss, 25 killed AID wound
ed. The enemy's loss has not peer aseer-
tanned. Gen. Candy, with a portion of his
command, had made a detOur and got be-
lov the enemy. while Major Paul was in
their rear. The whole of the enemy's
command will probably be tsken, as their
only alternative is to surrender or fee to
the mountains where the Indians await
them.

The Rebels Tired Of Being Deceived

There is an editorial in the Richmond
Examiner. of the Odd instant, denouncing
the rebel Secretary of War for deceiving
the Southern people. by asserting hat a
great victory was gained over the Nation
al forces in the two days fight at Pitts
burgh Landing.
The editor states that all the evidence
collected on the subject goes TO show that
the COnfederates were badly defeated. and
as an evidence OF the fact he quotes Beau
regards own letter to Gen. Grant the day
after the battle, asking the latter, who
was in possession of the field. for permits
sion to bnry his (Beauregard's1 dead.

The Case of Gen. Stone.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The President
transmitted a message to the Senate yes
terday in response to a resolution to the
effect that Gen. Stone was arrested at his
instance, and by his order, and that he
should have as speedy a trial as was con-
sistent with the public interest, but that
the exigencies of the service were such,
that neither officers nor witnesses to at
tend a court martial could at present be
spared from the field.

The following, from the Journal of Com
mcrce, respecting Gen. Halleck, is doubt
iess authentic, as Gen. Halleck's wife is in
New York city: I'VE have good authority
for saying that a letter has been written
by Gen. Halleck to q member of his fami-
ly in Shis city, in which, with a soldiers
anxiety for the giving of honor to whom
honor is due, he ascribes tie credit Of the en-
ire plan Of movementS at the West, and the
successful combinations Vhich hare resulted in
the rePsssessiea By the Union Of Missouri,
kentucky and Tennessee, to Hqjor General
Mcclellan. This handsome acknowledge
ment is creditable to both the distinguish
ed Generals concerned. Gen. Halleck
takes nothing from his own title to the
gratitude of the people by such a state
mont.

The Senate Finance Committee have de
termined to report the Tax bill tomorrow
or Tuesday at the farthest. They have
been unable to make many important
changes contemplated, and will probably
leave whisky and tobacco unchanged. 1t
is a singular fact, worthy of note in Con-
gress. that no remonstrance from any
quarter has been made against a high tar
iff upon these articles, but the dealers and
manufacturers are in favor of placing it
at the highest figure. This will probably
be done either in the Senate or by a Com
mittee of Conference.

From The Ohio State Journal.
The CoWardioe of Ohio Regiments
at PIttsburg Landing Refuted.

We are permitted to publish the follow
ing extract from a letter to Adjutant Gen.
eral Buckingham, from Col. Ralph p.
auckland, of the I'D Ohio, commanding
the 18th brigade of Sherman's division,
which utterly refutes the allegations of
cowardice on the part of the I'D Ohio
Regiment, made by the correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial in his thrilling
description of the battle, written at Cairo
hundreds of miles away from the Gene.
When the whole truth shall be known,
that reliable gentleman's' statements in
reference to other Ohio Regiments will
also disappear as the morning dew in mid
summer.

April 18th, 1862.
c. 7. BUCKINGHAM, ADJT. GEN. ONO;
Sri perceive by the Cincinnati and
Louisville papers that the conduct of this
Brigade in the battle of Pittsburg has
been greatly misrepresented. think the
report of General Sherman will do Us JUS
tice. 1t is true that we were taken by
surprise and had hardly time to form into
line of battle and advance about thirty
fOuS Nlicn We met the enemy anu OlbclSu
fire upon him. 1t is not true that W. fled,
but, on the contrary, we maintained our
position more thar two hours, and did not
retire until the regiments on our left had
given way, and We were ordered to fall
back, which we did in good order. 1t is
true that our lines were afterwards broken
by the fleeing mass from the left. All
three of the regiments rallied and contin-
ued TO fight, wherever re could, during
the day, though not always at the same
point. We slept on u arms in line ON
Sunday night, and were in the thickest of
the fight the next day, and Monday night
slept in the camp we started from Sunday
morning. Ny Brigade pursued the enc
my some miles on the road to Corinth.-
Instead of being driven TO the boats as al
legged by these newspaper correspondents,
| have not seen the Tennessee river since
we came to this camp nearly four weeks
since. 1t is hard, after having done our
duty in such a battle as this, to be thus
slandered. But | trust justice viii yet be

WASHINGTON, May 5,
THE EVACUATION AT YORKTOWN.

Al Al lOhhlOh W
Five rihed guns were found bursted
within the Yorktown works. They were
manufactured in Richmond. Five Dahl
greens, of 1850, which were once part of
the Merrimac's armament, were mounted
on the works. The evacuation was dis
covered by IL sharpshooters at daylight,
who, failing to receive a reply, crept grad
ually up to the work, to find them empty.
THE TAX BILL.
The Senate Finance Committee have
mutually agreed to make no radical
changes in the Committee, but leave them
to the Senate, for fear that otherwise the
bill may fail between the two Houses
The tax on dogs is struck out. A provis-
ion was introduced repeating the direct
tax bill of the Extra Session after the re-
ceipt of n years's revenue. 1t is Under
stood the bill will be reported Wednesday.

FROM THE SOUTH

The following is from the Netg South news
paper of the 22d inst. Gen. Sherman visited
Jacksonville the 10Th, and waited on by
committee of citizens who represented the
feeling Of all in the town, as strongly
Union. Many Of the inhabitants left
Jacksonville with the rebels, who threat
ened to hang all who remained. At Jack
sonville, the night before the Union troops
arrived the rebel regulators threatened to
destroy the entire city, but the gunboats
making their appearance they postponed their
threat Many are returning to jacksonville
among whom are rebel deserters, anxious to
take the oath Of allegiance, and who state that
desertions will be numerous. Tie sentiment
of Eastern Florida is declared to he loyal.
Many are declared willing to take up arms
and defend themselves against rebel tyranny,
and on one occasion when the Regulators were
reported coming, even the women seized arms.
The natl )nal troops are treated to every hos
pitaity the town affords and the people say
they will 60 with the nboats if they leave,
but measures have been taken to fully pro-
tect them.
The Memphis appeal says the recent re-
verses of the Confederate army are nerving
them with new faith, confidence and hope, and
it entertains no doubt Of the ultimate sue
cess of the cause. Van Dorm and jeff.
Thompson are concentrating large force at
Pochahontas, Arkansas, preparatory to an
attack on the federals at New Madrid, and
Gen. Pope will be compelled to evacuate, as
the Appeal says. No damage had been done
at Island No 10 up Ia WedBesday, but the
confederates have sunk two federal gun5oats.
The works at Fort Pillow have been com
pleted. Gen Pope is building fiat boats at
New Madrid to transport his troops across
the river to the Tennessee shore. In Missis-
sippi the planters are piling their cotton
ready for firing. Gen. Pellow has gone to
Richmond. The Appeal is issued on a half
sheet. In view of scarcity of lead il sug-
gests the lining Of tea chests be run into bull
lets.
President Davis, in secret session, has
advised the Confederate Congress that
the prisoners released by the Yankee govern
ment on parole be absolyed from their oath
and be allowed to take part in the approach
ing struggle for independence He urged it
as retaliation for the infamous and reckless
breach Of faith exhibited by Lincoln in the
exchange Of prisoners.
The ladies Of Charleston are contributing
their jewels, silver spoons, watches and mon
ey, to build gunboat. Tho Mrcry and
the Memphis appeal contain extensive ex-
tracts from Northern journals, but no import
ant military news
Attempts are being made to raise troops by
conscriphon Editors and compositors are
not to be enrolled except for local duty.
