,agIBd d2n WASHINGTON. iDecnu.
The eveatsof the frst week of the ses-
sion of Congress have proved the cor
rectness of the views expressed in my
letter, Of November 27. The opposition
to the President. on 1.-The part of the radi-
cal aud ultra members Of Congress, has
taken the form of regular organization
Tnis Organization is led by Trnm bull and
Sumner in the Senate, and by Lovejoy
and Tnad. Stevens 10 the House They
boast that they can command seventy.
seven votes in the House and clear ma
jority in the Senate, and do not hesitate
to express their designs openly. They
declare they have nothing to hope from
the President. who,a they are convinced,
is false to all his pledges, and has sold
himself to the Shareholders. Z But, ststhe
same dme, they assert that they fear no.
thing that the President can do to thwart
their designs They are confident of be-
ing able, in the course of the next two
months, to command two-third vote in
both Houses on any question that they
may bring up. As soon as they reach
that point they propose to carry, over the
Presidents veto, (for they know he will
veto them) the following measures: AZ
| /. A joint resolution, declaring that
slavery is the cause of tho war. and that
it is impossible to bring the war to q sue
cessful issue without, abolishing slavery
wherever it exists, o q dela3 10 s9et,io

indulge In the fond hope that he will yet
be spared to the countryin restoring the
Union to its former high position among
the nations of the earth.
The health of the army here is exceed
ingly good, and but few deaths are occur
ing compared with the immense number
of soldiers iu the field. By returns ia the
War Department up to the 22d Of De
|cember, ] learn that the mortality in. our
army since. the war broke out will reach
%, 600 mem The number killed ia bat
tie, skirmishes &C., is abeut II, 900. and
the number wounded 1900 These
figures may appear startling TO 2 great
many, but they are reliable. The num-
|ber Of prisoners South, aud soldiers de-
serted and missing, is aboute, 900. The
entire strength of our army, as by returns
in the Adjutant- G General's Office, foots up
52l, 900; about 100000 now reported
as fit for service. 10 another letter I
hope to be able to send you complete
lumber of horses, mules, wagons, &c, in
the employ of the Government, and the
quantity of supplies and provisions re-
|quired for the maintenance of SO large a
force of troops. ~ - ~ sf4.,+ 81 .ssa- ii

do him the justice to say that he is insen-

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF MOI
ST. LOUIS. Feb. II.
The Major General commanding the De
partment desires to impress upon all officers
the Importance Of preserving good order and
discipline among their troops, as the armies
of the West advance into Tennessee ami the
Southern States. Lot us show to our fellow.
citizens In those States that we come merely
to crush out the rebellion and restore to them
peace and the benefits Of the Constitution
and the Union, of which they have been de-
prived by their selfish and unprincipled lead
ers. Thcy have been told that we come TO
oppress and plunder BY our acts we will
prove to them that we come to restore, not
violate the Constitution and laws. In restor-
ing to them the glorious flag Of the Union,
we will assure them that they shalt enjoy
under is folds the same protection Of life and
property as in former days.
Soldiers, let no excess on your part tarnish
the glory Of cur arms.
The orders heretofore issued in this de-
partnent in regard TO pillaging, marauding,
the destruction Of private property and steal
ing, and the concealment of slaves, must be
strictly enforced. 1t does not belong to the
military to decide upon the relation of mas
ter and slave. Such questions must be deci-
ded by the civil courts. No fugitive slave
will therefore be admitted within cur lines

The Importance Of Fort Donelson.


The stratagetic Importance OF Fort
Donelson, says the Columbus Fact in
view of an advance of the Union forces
in the direction of Alabama canscarce-
1y be overrated. The fort itself is an
earthwork fertilization, situated at
Dover, on the west bank of the Cum,
berland, where that river forms an OBJ
tuse angle, and flows out of Tennessee
into Kentucky. The fort is about 10
miles southeast of Fort Henry. Some
seven or eight postroads intersect at
this point, and the Memphis and Clarks-
vile railroad passes about four miles
south of it. It controls the river as
far up as Clarksville, about thirty miles
distant in an air line to the eastward.
Nashville is on the same river, about
torty.fve miles southwest of Clalks,
vile. The river is navagable for gun,
boats of the largest size as far as
Nashville. The possession Of Fort
Donelson and Fort Henry must inter
rupt some twenty miles OF important
rebel railroad communication. Exten-
sive and formidable fortlfcations are
said TO have been constructed at
CIarkssille, and q large number of
heavy guns shipped there, for the pro;
lection OF the bridge and the commu-,
nication with Nashville. 3a
