which drove in the rebel vanguard, killing
and wounding many, willie our loss was but
Two killed and one wounded. In the precipi-
tate retreat. Humphrey Marshall abandoned
and burh,d Il large amount of stores, and we
took fifteen prisoners. On Thursday the 9ih

hundred men, drove in the cncnly's pickcts be

reinforcement Of seven hundred from Pains

killed on the field. We took here twenty Evc
prisoners, many horses ard quantity Of mil

wouuded; the cncmy's killed could not have
been less than sixty. The fight of Marshall
was complete AMI precipitate, and ON S;tur-

pied Pre,tDhburg
There has been 70 more brilliant movement

Last summer a rebe! emmisSary named Lin

was found Il letter written by jesse d. Bright,
one Of the Indiana l. s. Senators, addressed
TO Ills ExcelIency Jefferson Davis, President
oil the Confederate States" and commanding
the bearer and bis enterprise 10 his favorable
consideration. On the nreing of the Scuatc
the letter in qucslinn was referred to the Ju-
d ciary Committee, together with annihcr writ
ten subsequently, admitting its authenticity
and indulging in language which indicated
anything but Il friendly feeling towards the
Government in its present elf'r to suppress
rebellion. The Judiciary Committee reported
in favor of permitting Bright ID retain his
seat, not regarding tac evidence OF disoyaly
sufficient to warrant his expulsion. The ma.
ter came mp before the Seratc on the 2lst.

Indiana, handled the sympa hz,r with treason
without giovcs and insisted tlIat the Senate
owed TO 1t 10 lis dignity and honor to prompt

OHIO LEGIsLATURE.

a large amount OF business has been intro
duced in both Houses, but little oft has been
definitely acted upon. The bill to authorize
the Banks of the State to suspend specie pay
ment, has become law, the House having a
greed to the Senate amendments. 1t is not
known yet whether or not the Banks will accede
to the conditions OF the bill in order to sus-
pend. On the 2lst the following preamble
and resolutions, introduced by Mr.. Sprasuc,
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The continuance OF our present
National difficulties, suspending commercial
intercourse and exchange with the sugar pro-
ducing States of the Union, has already and
will still further result in calling off our people
FROM their long accustomed rsUurcc Of supply
Of syrup and sugars-articles Of great impor-
tarce and valne, if not Of prime necessity
and
WHEREAS, The stock Of Southern sugar and
syrups on hand. in accessible markets. is now
50 much reduced that the consumption Of a
few months will entirely exhaust it, and the
qu'siion Of a ncw source Of supply becomes one
oi very great consequence; and,
WHEREAS, The Sorgho. or Chinese sugar
cane, has b 'cn in,roduc I'd into our State and
cultivated with partial success, but from the
fact Of lis ractnt Introduction the mass of the
people hut slightly acq qraiuted with its
properties and value, rs well as the best mode
Of euItiyaI ion and managcmet, therefore.
Resolrcd That the Committee on Agricul-
ture be requested TO inquire into and rcport
to the Stli,Ie. whether in their opinion the il-
1roiuct:on and cul ivalion ofsoreho, or Chinese
Sugar CIne, in our State, may still bc regard
ed as an experiment; or whether past expert
cnce will warrant US in the belief that it is Sc
well adapted to our soil and climate. as that
it may be profilably grown; and whether ii
may be resOrtcd to as a reliable source Of sup
ply for the staple SORTS OF syrups ami sugars
for which we have heretofore been dependent
upon the South; and if so, what. il amy, en-
couragement may be properly afforded by the
State for its prodnciiun-
Resolved, That the said committee further
inquire into, and report TO the Snatr, such
facts as may be accessible, relative to the pro
perties and value of the French Sugar Beet
AID the propriety Of encouraging It's cultiya
tion in the State.

tic noble example set US by the Fathers of
our country. Resolved, further, that the Leg
is!ators receive wages only for seyenty-hve
DAYS in the same session.
On behalf Of the citizens of Delaware the
following resolution was adopted:

and vicinity, petition the Mayor and Council

now existing laws in respect 10 inieu'perence

At length VIC are enabled co congratulate
our loyal countrymen on the prospect of an
early and ccmplete overthrow of the Slave

Congress is thoroughly awake to the neces-
siIy OF heavy taxation to sustain The Nation

ference as to details, but t;,N,'s will be l,v-

the Indispensable basis OF financial Solvcncy,
and il will surely be provided.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, the Finance
Committees Of the two Houses, and the capi-
talisis present in Washington to Proa,P their
counscls and cooperation. have conferred and
deliberated, and have arrived at a substantial
agreement. There nay be qEe>tinns of ,sslail
yet TO arrange. but innate and heariy cen
cord is already assured. \ nd this obviatcs all
danger Of fuancial collapse and resulting i'm
potence.
Finally, the armies of the Union are on The
point Of advancing from all quarters on Ia,
discouraged, poorly armed, shiYering half fam
ishcd levics of the rebellion, which IS evidently
conscious of It's swiftly approaching doom. III
soldiers are trying TO escape from their mani

No rev recruits are comisg in to fiji up lheil
dccimatcd regiments. The term of enliSur'nt
of Ian &C portion of their force approaches is
close, and the frantic appeals Of the rebel ur
mails prove that few of them can be pcrSul,lrt
or bullied into serving further. And the bold
est of these journals are now ctan1ring for 4
general conscription as The last hope Of thcil
exploding treason.
