and captured the little steamer Equality. At

had Just paid visit TO New Madrid when
the capture Of the Equality occurred. As
the Confederate gunboat retreated down the
Mississippi with her prize she was followed
by the Q. S. gunboats Lexington and A. Q.
Tyler. A sharp cannonading took place to
within few miles Of New Madrid.

II is said that the introduction of the

raised somewhat of q oommotion among
many Of the regular surgeons of the
army.
Commissioner Dale will soon leave for
the West on business of Importance con-
nected with the Indian tribes.
It seems that q de6nitive but infsrmsl
mode for an exchange Of prisoners has been
insugurated. The prompt reciprooation in
regard to this matter by the Southern au-
thorities will soon be followed by Govern
ment in forwarding another large party
for corresponding return.
The painful rumors in regard to the ar
rest Of prominent military officer Of the
Government for tres on, is without found
alton. Some matters in the shape of cor
respondence have been discovered, but in
connection with parties entirely different
from the officer named in the rumOrs now
current.
All the parties implicated are now under
arrest. This city is full of Southern SYM
pathisers or spies in high social position.
The time has arrived when they must be
vigorously dealt with.

WASHINGTON, Jan 8.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Conkliug rising to question Of priv
ilege, called attention to the fact that on the
second day Of the session a resolution was
adopted with reference to the battle of Balls
Bluff. The resolution proposed no iuvesti-
cation into any future transaction whatever.
1t simply requested the Secretary of War to
inform the House whether any steps have
been taken 10 ascertain who was responsible
for the disaster.
The resolution was handed to the Adjutant
General, who submitted it to the commander
in-chief He, (Mr. Conklin) was unwilling
to believe that the commander-in- chief had
read the resolution, because be could not i'm
pute to him the design to trifle with the
House, and return an evasive answer. If he
did read it, be certainly misunderstood its
purport. He seemed to have received the
impression thss a future inquiry was to be
instituted, and that of very general charac-
to the Adiutant General which was reported
to the Secretary Of War, and by the latter
transmitted to the House.
The answer to the resolution did not in
form the House that steps had been made to
show who was to blame for the Balls Bluff
disaster. The response was evasive; now
| this was disregard of the privileges of the
House, which ought to receive and requires
a prompt notice, unless we consent to q
trampling on our rights. We should watch
with jealous eye the right of wholesome
inquiry.
The inquiry related to a great national
calamity and to the most attrocious military
murder ever committed in our history, and
the most humilisting triumph OF the rebel
lion. A blunder 30 gross that every man
can see II, and no one has e7ef dsred 10 deny
or defend it. Besides the defeat and the
large loss of arms and munitions of war
there was sacrifice of $50 men.
The resolution to which he (Oonkling) re-
ferred, was proposed out of respect TO the
memory of those men, and in defence to The
public propriety ond selfrespect to the ma
ton. 1t was to inquire whether the military
authorities have taken any steps Whateve
