Repre- sentatves June 18th, the following resoia
tons offered by Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio:
It1sreos information has been received by the
Government that Hon. Benjamin Wood, represent
.,iye in Congress from the State of New York, and

Mr. Bingham said such information had been
communicated to him, tEa! Mr. Wood had furnished
or attempted to furnish intelligence to the rebels

Mr.. Bingham replied that he made no charge.
Mr.. Wood Of New York, had no objection to the

teries on the Tennessee side. Our NOR

during the night. One shot from rebel
batteries struck the Benton, killing one
and wounding seven others. A rifed gun
on the st. Louis burst, wonuding several
OF the crew. The st. Louis was struck
several times. The enemy are very
strongly fortified, and have large num-
Der of troops on the main land. The shells
from the mortars fall in the enemy's en-
trenchments every time All the mortar
boats here are to leave Immediately for
the island. The gunboat Cincinnati re-
ceived shot which is said to have done
some damage TO her machinery. The
bursting Of the gun on the St. Louis killed
two. MORALLY wounded two, and severely
wounded ten others. The previous re-
port that one was killed and seven wound
ed on flag ship is contradicted. No dam
age was done to any other Of the feet.

The news of the evacuation of Island
No. 10 was sent to Head Quarters in this
city by Gen. Pope, from New Madrid
The latest intelligence to the press, via
Cairo, was to Sunday evening, whilst Gen.
Pope's dispatch was dated the next day.
The fact that the newspapers here have
no particulars by telegraph of the occupa-
lion Of the Island BY the Union troops,
has given rise to doubt in the minds of
some, and particularly the fecessionists,
as to whether Gen. Halleck's announce
meDt in his speech at the Planters House
last evening. was not premature, but now
there is no question in relation to the mat
ter. Gen. Pope has telegraphed that, in
addition to the evacuation, the rebels have
abandoned, without destroying, nine large
transport steamers, which must eventually
fall, if they have not already, into our
hands. The batteries at New Madrid and
Point Pleasant completely blockaded the
river, SO that it was impossible for the
rebel boats to pass.
The Union loss at the fight at Salem,
Ark, is. five killed and twenty five woun-
ded. The rebel loss is 100. Among
their killed is Col. Woodside.
The following are portions of letter
from member Of the l4th Illinois regi-
ment. on board steamer January on the
Tennessee river. IL miles from the Ala
bama line, dated March 18th:
Yesterday about o'clock, as we were
steering up the river, crowds Of Union
men and women gathered on the banks Of
the river, and with the widest enthusi-
asm and demonstrations Of JOY, hailed and
| welcomed US. One old lady held up both
arms outstretehed for fifteen or twenty
minutes.
The rebels have begun the work of
drafting in Carroll county, Tenn, and
many Of the Union citizens of that county
have come to this place to join the Union
army.
A secesher fred into ono of the boats
yesterday, and then skedaddled into the
brushes. The ball wounded one man
slightly in the shoulder. The boys on
board yelled at furious rate at the novel
sight.
Twenty-si1 sturdy, intelligent and we'll
dressed Tennesseeans hailed us and the
boat put in and took them on board, and
they enlisted in our regiment. 1t is re-
ported that there are many rebels not far
from here. A company of cavalry vent
out yesterday. Il has not returned yet.
We shall leave here as soon as the ex-
petition gets good ready, perhaps TO-
4 morrow.
