| WASHINGTON, April %.
SENATE.-mr. Trumbull presented a pc
tition from W. Jswett for defensive stand
| still policy at Yorktown, and to secure q
reserve force Of $50, 900 men.
1 Mr.. Trumbull from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported resolution in relation to
| the pay of Senators and Representatives of
the State of Minnesota, which was passed.
Mr.. Hale offered q resolution that the
Military Committee inquire If any General
in the army before Yorktown had exhibited
himself drunk in the face of the enemy,
and if any measures had been taken for
the trial and punishment of such officer.
Mr.. Sumner suggested that the subject
be referred to the Committee on the Con-
duct of the War.
Mr.. Hale referred to the statement of Mr..
Morrell in the House yesterday, and stated
notice should be taken of such things.
If officers thus leave brave men to be
slaughtered no punishment is too great for
them.
Mr.. Foster said the Senate had not taken
high ground enough. The Senate never
should have confirmed men known to be
Incorporate.
1t becomes US to weed our own garden
first and correct our own laxity, he was
panied to say criminal, in this respect.
Mr.. Foot said that the General referred to
had not been confirmed.
Mr.. Hale said that the Senate had not
taken high ground enough, but if officers
were so drunk that they could not sit on
their horses he thought some notice ought |
to be taken of it.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Davis introduced bill prescribing a |
new oath for grand and petit jurors in the |
United States Court.
The bill recognizing the independence of
Hayti and Liberia, and appointing diplo-
matte relation, was taken up.

friendly to new governments, had turned
aside from these nations. He thought it
was time to put an end to this anomaly in
history.
HoUsE.-The House resumed the consid-
GRAFTON of the con6scation bill which was
pending at the adjournment yesterday, and
upon which the main question had been |
ordered. The bill was tabled by vote of
"a against 48.
The next bill taken up was one to facili-
tate the suppression of the rebellion, and
TO preuent the recurrence of the same.
Mr.. Ely suggested that as the judiciary
could not agree on the subject,
that select committee of seven be ap-
pointed to take the Latter into considers

Report of Col. Willich.

Ny regiment arrived at 10 A. NJ at Pitts
burg Landing and marched up the hill,
when it received the order from GeneraI
Grant to start Immediately for the scene of
action The regiment marched as fast as
possible, and having received no special di-
rection, turned its course towards the
heaviest firing. Having arrived near the
line of battle, Gen. McCook ordered the
regiment to form the reserve of the centre
of his Division, and in case the enemy
should throw our lines, to advance and
charge with the bayonet. The regiment
took its position about two hundred yards
in the rear of the second line of battle.
About this time, neither army advancing
or retreating, | asked Gen. MeCook for per-
mission to pass with the regiment to the
front, and make a bayonet charge, which
was granted. The regiment passed in dou-
bic column by the centre and advanced to-
wards the enemy within about two hum
dred yards when the enemy turned and
retreated without stopping to receive the
charge. After this the regiment was de-
ployed in line of battle to give the enemy
the benefit of all our rifles
The whole Division then advanced for
some time the 32nd regiment having form
ed double column by the center again, and
deployed two companies as skirmishers in
advance until Gen. Beauregard in person
brought up his reserve against our forward
movement. Here, by bad arrangement, in
our squeezed up position, our skirmishers
received fire from regiments behind, right,
and left, putting them in imminent danger,
which caused them to retreat in a hasty man
ner, bringing disorder into the whole reg
i,uent for few minutes, and forcing the
com nander to order are treat into = raviue,
where it was formed again and then march
ed in double column by the center, TO
charge on the enemy once more, supported
by only one regiment on its left After
having advanced some time in this forma-
ton, the regiment was deployed in line of
battle, made charge with their bsyonets,
and succeeded after short and heavy fire,
to check the enemy's advance, until rein
forcements came up, falling on both TANKS

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The following
has been received at the War Depart
ment:
New MARKET, Va, April %.
Hon. E. N Stanton:
Our advance is near Harrisonburg. We
have troops across the mountains, protect
ing the bridges on the Shenandoah river at
Almy. To-day we pushed force forward
to Luray. The people were greatly alarm
ed at first on account of a report circulated
by the rebels of the treatment they would
receive from US, but in the course of a few
hours they became quite reconciled to our
presence. There is good road to War
renton Is miles, and turnpike to Culpep-
per Court House the same distance.
Jackson has abandoned the valley of Vir-
ginia permanently, and is en- route to Cor
louisville via the mountains
Every day brings its prisoners and nu-
merous deserters from the rebels.

Major General Commanding.

The Whale Of our FORCES then a4Vanceu
again ard finally drove the enemy back,
the 32nd Indiana regiment, making this
last advance with four companies depioysd
! as skirrnishers, and the other companies IN
double column by the centre following
The regiment advanced on the line of re-
treat Of the enemy for mile, when the
complete exhaustion Of the men obliged me
to give them some rest. Here I received
order to rejoin my Division near the land
ing, not succeeding in finding the brigade,
the regiment camped in a field and rejoined
the brigade in the morning. .rEs
| cannot but mention, honorably, the
gallant and skillful conduct of Lieutenant
Colonel Won Trebra, particularly in leading
the skirmishers, and of Maj. G.. n. SchnackE
enburg, in commanding the left wing efthe
skirmishers and in forming the regiment in
an efficient manner, when it was thrown
into confusion by the fire from behind
also of my Adjutant Lieut.. Carl Schmidt,
for the GOODNESS and activity with which he
supported me in every way of all the COM
pany officers, without any exception, in
performing their respectiVed uties skillfully,
and of the non-commissioned officers and
men, with a very few single exceptions, for
their bravery andcoolness in the hottest fire.
As proof of the latter, will mention
that when the firing became little wild
during the last charge, stopped my firing
and drilled my men in the manual of arms,
which they all entered into as if on the pa
rade ground, and then opened deliberate
and effective fire. 1t was a very unhappy
accident for the regiment, that our ambu- |
lauces had to be left behind, and that was
ordered so rapidly to the scene of action, |
that our surgeon could not follow US, which |
obliged me to weaken the regiment con-
iderably, by having the wounded carried |
TO the hospital. I enclose list of kill
ed and wounded. OF the first we have
10, of the latter 80. 1 feel proud to
express my thanks to the chaplain of our
Regiments, DR.. Fisher, who is also skill
full surgeon and rendered, with our distin-
yuished surgeon, Jeancou, the most effect
i've service. Signed,
A WILLIcH, Colonel.

CAIRO, April 22.-An arrival from Pitts
burg Landing brings the following.
The weather in that quarter has been ex-
cessively unfavorable for movements of the
army. For the last three days rain has
fallen necessarily, and now it is an utter
impossibility for the army to move on &C.
count of the great depth Of mud. Prepar-
ations, however, are going on steadily, so
that when the roads improve the army
will be ready for battle.
Beauregard is being constantly reinforced.
The citizens of Memphis and New Orleans
are throwing up their business occupations
and are focking to his standard, believing
that on the ensuing battle depends the fate
of the Valley of the Mississippi.
1t is thought by those who know best,
that majority of the Southern people will
be ready to lay down their arms and return
to the Union if defeated at Corinth, while
the leaders are as stubborn and desperate
as ever
Five of the rebel miscreants who fred on
the steamer Minnehaha, on her recent trip
up the river, have been captured and will be
shot. A quantity of ammunition and num-
Der of U. s. Horses were captured with
them.
The steamer Shingess left the feet on
Sunday evening and arrived to-day. She
brings no news of Importance.
There was no firing the day she left on
either side and only few shots were ex-
changed on Saturday.

SAN Francisco, April 22.-The United
States steamer Naragsnsett has sailed on a
cruise.
The Indians are again showing symp-
toms of hostility on the eastern slope of the
Nevada.
A party of whites were killed by them
on the 18th, near Owens river, in Esmer-
aida District of Salt Lake. 1t is reported
that they have destroyed many mail sta
tons, stolen much property and killed sew
eral employees of the overland Mail Co.
The mails are temporarily stopped, and
the telegraph is liable to destruction at any
moment.
A regiment of California volunteers now
in this State should be ordered to duty on
the plains at once.
The employees of the company are con-
centrsting for the purpose OF protection OF
the property and few of the stations
They have abandoned all attempts to carry
the mail at present.

WAsHINGToN, April 22.-Several yessel
! of the river fotilla have been up the Kappa
| hammock, some of them as far as Frederjcks.
burg. About nine miles above Tappahan-
mock, schooners had been sunk to obstrucl
the river.
Com. Wyman, on the Yankee, and his
consorts pushed their way through. At one
point the boats were fred upon by mus
kets. No one on board was injured
Twelve or thirteen vessels, two of them
steamers, found in the creeks, were seized
and brought down the stream.
The river is now considered open for
navigation, and timber for building bridges,
cut by the rebels, will soon reach Fall
mouth.
Nothing has been heard of the rebel
troops, but they are believed to be in force
not far back OF fredericksburg.
The financial committee of the Senate
has done with the machinery sections of
the tax bill, having made such amendments
as in its judgment were calculated to per-
feet the SYSTEM adopted by the House.
An effort was made to raise the tax on
whisky and other distilled spirits to twea-
ty-fVe cents per gallon, bat the committee
it at fifteen cents.
The committee decides to impose some
charge on the stock on hand on the 5Oth of
June, when the act is to go into operation,
but left it to sub committee to decide how
much it should be. The tax on beer and
other fermented liquors will be 50 per bar
rel instead of one dollar.
No other noteworthy changes have yet
been made
Chas. A. Dana, of n Y, has been ap-
pointed by Secretary Stanton as one of the
commissioners to investigate war claims at
