We have most cheerful news this morning from
the Mississippi River The two fleets from above
and below have joined their forces just above
Vicksburg, Flag-Officer Farragut having passed
up the river amid the fire of the Rebel batteries
with a loss of only four killed and several wound
ed Previous to this junction. however, Lieut..
Elet made an expedition up the Yazoo River, and
compelled, by his mere presence, the destruction OF
the only three remaining gunboats of the Rebels.
On his approach the enemy set fire
70 their boats and started them down
with the intention Of burning those of Lieut..
Ellct's succeeding however, in only destroy
ing their own. The fleet, to avoid The burn
ing vessels, retired, the object OF the expedition
being accomplished in their destruction. The
Mississippi is now entirely free Of floating
Rebels, and the speedy reduction Of Vickaburg
we regard as certain, if not done already.
Our correspondent with Lieut.. Ellet sends
US long and interesting account Of the pro-.
gress of the boats down the river, which We
publish in other columns.

xxxvI CoNGREss-FIRsr SESSION.
WASHINGTON. Feb.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.
SENArE.-Mr CarliIe presented petition
numerously signed by citizens of Boston,
asking Congress to leave the negro question
alone and attend to the business of the coun-
try.
The bill to define the pay and emoluments
of the officers of the army was taken up.
Mr.. Sherman said the bill did net meet
the difficulty. year ago we were physi-
caIly weak, with no public debt. Now we
are physically strong, but financially weak.
The total amount of expenses next year will
probably not be less than $3.50, 900, 600.
This is greater expense than ever was
borne by any nation. The highest expendi-
ture of Great Britain was never $500, 00o,-
600 year, not even in the war with Ma
poleon. Mr.. Sherman here quoted from the
London Post, the government organ, which
said that we (the United States Govern
ment) were approaching national bankrupt
cy. In his Judgment, three propositions
were needed. Ist. The prompt levy of
tax of not less than $l50,o00,000. I'd. A
careful revision of the laws regulating sal
aries and eompensations. Sd. Rigid scruti-
nizing into all public frauds and prompt
punishment of every officer who takes money
or allows others to take it for property for
which the Government does not receive
benefit.
Mr. King presented several petitions ask
ing that 300, 900 copies of the Agricultural
Report be printed in the German language
HousE.-The House went into Commit
tee of the Whole on the Treasury Note
bill.
Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, spoke on the
bill
The House then took up the Treasury
note bill.
Mr. Thomas of Massachusetts, gave the
reasons which would induce him to vote
against the bill as it now stands.
Mr. Conway of Kansas asked leave to
offer the following, to which Maynard OBJ
lected. An unanimous consent was re-
quested to introduce it.
ResoIUed, That the President be request
ed to furnish she House, if not incompati-
BILE with the public interests, with the
names of all persons arrested under the or
der of army executive officers without legal
process, and confined in any OF the forts or
prisons of this country as prisoners of war
the names of the forts or other PRISONS in
which said persons have been and are con-
fined respectively the date of the several
arrests, together with full statement of
the charges and evidence upon which they
were arrested also the names OF all such
persons who have since been discharged,
the date of their several discharges and
the reason for the same.

NEW York, Feb. 6.-Private advices from
Kansas state that Gen. Lane was there
about the lst, and announced that he had not
accepted his commission as Brigadier- Gen
Eral, and that he visited the State only
on account of being a member of the Senate
Military Committee.
He declined to assume any military char
acter, but maintained the most friendly re-
lations with Gen, Hunter, between whom
and himself there is no practical difference
in sentiment in regard to the relations of
slavery and the war.
The report that Gen. Scott is going to
Key West, is erroneous. He did intend to
go for the benefit of his health, and the
government offered him passage on board
the Richmond, bat the preparation of the
vessel was delayed till the season was too
far advanced, and he has resolved not to
make the voyage.
Gordon, the SLAYER, was notified yesterday
that respite was granted him, by which
his execution is postponed from tomorrow
till the list inst.

Tho Tennessee RiVer ExpediaiOn.
CAIRO, Feb. g. The force under General
Grant arrived at Itris Landing, six miles
below Fort Henry, yesterday afternoon.
The gunboats Essex and st. Louis made a
reconnaissance of rebel works, for the pur-
pose of landing the forces. They went
within a mile and a half of the Fort,
throwing several shells inside the intrench-
ments. the ere was returned one shot
struck the Essex, going through the corner
OF Captain Porter's cabin. The range of
their guns having been ascertained, place
was selected for the landing, which was to
have been done yesterday afternoon. The
force of the enemy is supposed to be fifteen
thousand.
A dispatch dated to-day says General
Grants force was within four miles of Fort
Henry. A fight was expected to-day.

Especial to the Cincinnati Gazette
PADUCAH, Feb. 4.
The transports which left Cairo, yester-
day, with troops on board, came struggling
in here one at a time during all of last
night and Immediately proceeded up the
Tennessee river.
We reached point ten miles this side OF
Fort Henry about daylight, where we found
the gunboats st. Louis, Essex and Caronda-
let and Cincinnati lying at anchor.
The troops on board the new Uncle Sam,
Illinois and Alex. Scott were here disem-
barked, and again re-embarked and landed
four miles above, where the balance of the
troops were also landed as fast as they ar
rived.
The gunboats weighed anchor upon our
arrival and steamed up to within gunshot
range of the fort, when an interchange of
shot and shell was had between our boats
and the fort, about twenty shots being fired
on each side. The shooting was very acen-
rate on both sides. One shot from the fort
struck the upper wooden cabin of the Essex
and tore q hole in her. The damage was,
however, trihing, as this cabin was but
temporary affair Several of our shells
burst in the fort, and immense damage is
supposed to have been done. At intervals

A powerful Union force is now eneamped
on the nights of the east bank of the Tenn
essee river, just beyond the range of the
enemy's guns.
The transports, after landing their hu-
man cargoes, returned to Paducah, where
they will take on re-enforcements and pro-
coed, as sreedily as possible, to the point of
debarkation near Fort Henry.
The new Uncle Sam met with an acct
dent in returning here this afternoon, about
twenty miles up the river, while running
close to the shore. She ran into a large
tree tearing away her ratings and escape
pipe, and damaging her wheel-house and
barber shop, the latter to the great conster
nation ofthe proprietor of the last estab-
lishment. s.
Heavy re-enforcements will be landed
near Fort Henry tomorrow, to cooperate
with the force now there, and ere many
days shall elapse the crash of arms will be
heard in this quarter that will shake Sc
cessiondom to its foundation. I have not
been able to learn what, if anything, has
been done on the Cumberland from Smith
land

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6th.-The President
has approved the bill author ling the Sec
rotary of the Interior to strike from the
pension rolls the names of all such persons
as have or may hereafter take up arms
against the government of the United
States, or who have in any manner en-
couraged the rebels, or manifested sympa-
thy with their cause.
1t is known that some persons in the
West after having drawn their pensions
have openly joined the enemy, while others
who have not taken this extreme step have
openly sympathized with the rebels and
dawn their pensions. The law just passed
affords a partial remedy against disloyal
pensioners receiving money from the gov
ernment.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-The remainder of
Gen. SigeIs Division started West Sunday
morning, under command of Acting Brig
General Coles. The roads have somewhat
improved and army teams are progressing
with less difficulty.
The Union refugees from Southwest
Missouri are taking up their line of march
for their homes once more. Every day
they may be seen on the road vending their
way toward the South west.
There is a rumor that Rains has been
captured by Lanes forces but it needs con-
firmation.
Advices from Lebanon justify the infer
enee that it will be several days, perhaps
weeks, before the army moves forward and
no movement of Importance need be ex-
pected until all the troops to take part in
the campaign, shall have been concentrated
at that point.
The latest news from Price received by
the public is that he is eight miles this side
