I WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-The Intslligsneer
of yesterday says; The engagement, con-
trary to what appears to have been the
general representation, was not resumed
yesterday. The enemy occupied in extend
ing and strengthening his works, aud our
army was taking care of its wounded and
buryiug such of its dead as could be recov-
cred from the battle field.
Gen. Burnside was reinforced during the
day by Gen. SigePs corps. He uuquesIion-
ably had good reasons for delaying anoth-
er attack upon the enemy's lines.
The special to the Tunes says: II appears
that the Paymaster's Department is able to
procure only about 100000 per day for
soldiers wages, while the demand is four
million. This fact is owing to inability of
the manufacturers to support them and ac-
counts for the injury done the soldiers.

mated at S35o,OoO One hundred and fiftv-
boats were destroyed, and upwards Of
thirty thousand barrels of oil lost. 1t
appears that when the gorge commenced
moving there were fully sixty thousand
brrFels of oil at the landing, principally in
bulk, aud about three hundred and fifty
boats, many of which, however, we're
empty. The scene presented when the
gorge struck the boats is described as
tearfully grand. The outside boats were
sunk in a moment, and the full force of
the gorge pressing against the balance,
they were torn from their moofi1gs and
piled on top of each other in inextricable
confusion. For the distance of mile the
boats were seen crushing and sinking.
The strongest lines snapped like threads, j
fragments of the wrecks and jets of oil
from the bulk boats were seen flying IN
the air. In places boats were sunk fouE
deep upon top of each other, and in some
cases the boats were turned completely
over emptying the contents into the river.
Large bulk boats were crushed by the
tremendous pressure as though they had
been made of paper. Amid this crush aud
wreck human agency was powerless, and
all the owners could do was to look on and
see the hard-sarned accommodations of
whole seasons toll swept to destruction 10

breach of public faith to do otherwise.
ResOlUsd: That the duties on imports

Buchanan was to-day a private citizen aud
this resolution il passed would stamp him
with eternal iufamy, aud his friends might
thank God that be had no children to
leave behind him. He was utterly opposed

a proceeding against him. He had always
considered Mr Buchanan the most over
