The resolution introduced by Mr. Morrill, in

of newspaper denial of the drunkenness Of Gen.
Smith on that occasion. Its said that Gen.
Mcclellan has also telegraphed to President
Lincoln broad and full denial of the charge
against Gen. Smith. In addition to these state
mcnts, the following has been made public:

Our earthworks are beginning to present a

progressed as though no enemy were within

Yesterday Gen. Hancock went out with por.

the enemy from piece OF timber which they

ARREST OF GEN. SroNE.-There has been much
discussion recently, especially in Democratic
quarters respecting the arrest OF Gen. Stone,
aud the delay in his trial. Senator Sumner and
others have been charged with having caused
his arrest, ard finally resolution passed the
senate, asking the President by whom the arrest
was authorized. The President has sent mes
sage to the Senate in response to this inquiry
saying, that he caused the arrest of Gen. Stone
on sufficient grounds, and was alone responsible
for it. The reason stated for the absence of a
trial is, that the witnesses and officers who would
take part in the trial are now in front of the
enemy. Gen. St1no will have trial Just us
