SPECiAL DISPATCHES.
FROM THE QUEEN OF THE WEST
ITO the Chicago Tribune.I
Her Capture Confirmed.
CAIRO, Feb. "a, 1868.

CAIRO, Feb. "a, 1863
By telegrsphic dispatch from Albert
H. BOdman, special correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune, dated Memphis 26lb,
learn that the ram Queen of the West was
certainly captured, as stated by rebel pa
pers. Mr.. Bodman was upon her when
the disaster occurred, and escaped with
difficulty, losing everything but life. What
became of the remainder of the officers and
men of the Queen of the West, the CORES
pondent does not say. It is reasonably
supposed that all who were reported as es-
capped, reached Memphis in safety.
The capture took place on the Red River,
at GOrdOn's Landing, about fifteen miles
from the mouth of the Black River, on the
evening of Tuesday, February 18th.
The Queen of the West was accompanied
by q small steamer, the DesOto, formerly
used as ferry boat In its new mission
it carried 8O-pOund Parrot gun.
[NOTE-Edward Taylor, of New Castle,
Pa, was lst Assistant Engineer on the

Conference on the Finance Bill
Isaac Y. Fowler,
WAsHINaToN. Feh. 27.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. q.
Even members of the Conference Com
mittee disagree as to the precise effects of
the compromise proposition adopted in the
House yesterday afternoon. It is clear,
however, that substantially everything is
placed in Mr.. Chase's hands. He carried
his point fully as to the legal tenders,
there being literally but fifty millions more
authorized, on which number all parties
had long ago agreed There are but two
hundred millions Of currency. He is bound
to issue fifty millions legal tenders, fifty
millions of postal currency, and the hun
dred millions legal tenders voted some
time ago to pay the army. He has power,
if he so chooses, to throw into circulation
seven hundred millions more, as follows
Four hundred millions interest, bearing
Treasury notes which he may make con-
vertible, and for the redemption of which
he may provide reserve fund of further
legal tenders, and the three hundred mil
lions bonds authorized in the National
Banking bill and to be used as the basis
for at least that much more currency. The
immediate result of this state of affairs
must be further imitation. The subsequent
effect must depend largely upon the dis
closures as to Chases intentions about the
extent tt which he will use the discretion
airy power placed in his hands.
The friends of Isaac V. Fowler, the de-
faulting Postmaster of New York, have
solicited his pardon. The Attorney Gen
eral is reviewing the facts for the Presi-
dents consideration.
The Senate will probably remain in ses-
sion day or two after the 4th of March,
to discuss and decide on nominations Of
Brigadier Generals of volunteers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~.
Brigadier-General FarnsWorth, of Illi

The resolution reported by Mr.. Sumner,
from the Committee on Foreign Relations,
and eoncurred in even by Messrs. Hender-
son, Davis and Hicks, its border State mem
bers, assert that the Government is engsg-
ed in the suppression Of a conspiracy to
establish separate Government on the
corner stone Of slavery and for the build
ing up of q great slave power, and that the
only effect Of mediation, arbitration or in
reference would be to prOlong and inten-
sify the struggle, and add TO its horror
All tendencies to foreign Intervention are
protested against and foreign governments
and people are called upon to note the
struggle as a contest between freedom and
slavery.

Damage and Delay by Rains--Gon-
ditiOn of the Army--Posi-
tion Of the Enemy.
MURrREEsBoRO', February q.

A4UhHAAhEDuhO3 E6DTuHIY -.
The severe rain storms of the past
week have not only put the roads in
worse condition than before, but have
washed away two railroad bridges between
MurfreesbOro' and Nashville. 1t will take
several days 10 repair damages, and,
meanwhile, our railroad communication
with the latter city must remain broken.
Nothing has yet transpired which looks
like forward movement. Our forces are
still engaged, as heretofore, with no i'm
mediate prospect of entering active opera
tons.
The amount of sickness is not very con-
siderable; the prevalent diseases being
those induced by the peculiarities of the
variable weather of this season and cli-
mate. a
Within the last few days reports have
been received from the enemy, Indicating,
his intention to contest further advance
of this army. Van DOrn's forces, from
Northern Mississippi. now occupy COlum-
bia, while third column send out recor-
noisance daily from Woodbury., on cur
left. Nevertheless, it is predicted, in Off
clal places, that the enemy will not be the
first to assume ofFensive-moVements
The entrance of contrabands into our
camps, is far less frequent now than for
merly. They are very scarce, and thereb-
els seem to be removing slaves Southwark,
and, of course, use enormous numbers to
work on the defenses at TuIahona and
Chattanooga.

WoNGNLT Saturday, in
our usual perambulatiOn, we noticed an in
stance Of wOmaaly attachment and affection
which We are inclined to publish. It was an
T-ish woman, humbly but neatly clad, who
had colas to bring her Iisge lord his
dinner, and who sat quietly in the cold air
while the substantial warm meal was dis
pufehsd. Our thoughts apprehended this
event, and looked in upon the friendly wife
Is she set about preparing the food that was
70 satisfy her husband's wants. How unself-
ish in all her movements as she selects the
kest Of all she has; how cheerily she phys
her steps, eager to prepare the hot drink Of
tea or coffee that makes the arm feel stronger,
and the body more resoIUts; and then, with
what satisfaction does she pin about her the
tidy shawl, and start out with the dinner
bucket, frsighted with the products of the
mornings care and labor.
.SHeh instances of attachment and loyalty
we kHoW are occurring every day; but this
particular case, striking Us as it did, fur
nisasd many reflections, and We were forced
to draw contrast between such cases as this
ami certain families, where the entire sym
pathy Of husband and wife, brothers and
sisters, Is something for future enjoyment
and not of present fruitiOn. The fashionable
party, the errsnd Of gossip, and the fancy
store, rob many husband Of the prssene'
and consolation Of that one who should cal.
culats the every want and desire Of her hons
and fsnily.

Capture Of Federal Cavalry.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS,
FROM NEW YORK. =

LEN 4OhAs NAhLGA l.
Special to the Mercury dated Cairo 28th,
says the city is full Of startling rumors. It
is said on the 26th the famous cutoff way
was completed, the edredgingmaohine having
been at work several days. It is asserted
that the gunboats are all through, and the
transports preparing to follow. After the
batteries at Warrenton are reduced, the
whole force viii be sent against Port Hud-
son.
1t is also stated that the small gunboat
feet has reached the Yazoo river via Union
Lake, and are playing mischief in the rear
of Vicksburg.
1t is also reported that boats have got to
the Red river via Lake Providence. Also
reports of serious disasters to the Union
forces, and of troops and gunboats cap
tured, but are not credited.
The Mereury's Washington special says
it is universally admitted that the close Of
the session Of Congress will witness de-
sided change in the policy Of the Govern
ment.
The President has yielded to the advice
Of Secretary Seward and ThurlOw Weed,
to propitiate the Conservatives, and thus
make the eOnseriptiOn palatable. The
measures are
First, A change in the Cabinet that will
give Seward and his policy majority Of
its members, Chase to be retained, and,
if he retires, Robert ]. Walker takes his
place.
Second, A restoration of Mcclellan to
some command, to shut the mouths Of his
noisy, disloyal friends.
Third, Some concession to negro preju-
dioes of Northern soldiers, blacks in the
army TO be kept in subordinate positions
Fourth, The radical Republicans to take
a back seat and moderate Republicans
and war Democrats have the confidence
and direction of the Administration.
Fifth, There are to be no more arbitrary
arrests, except in very Asgrant cases.
The 1st Pennsylvania Reserve re-
fused to do duty on picket, in Virginia,
yesterday, on the ground that they have
been in the service since May and June,
1861, and participated in most Of the hard
fought battles in Vitginia that they are
so reduced in numbers that no one regi-
ment will number $50 men, and that their
request to go home and recruit has been
disregarded, while the ID New Hampshire,
(aboutth same number,) is allowed to 60
home.
Immediately upon the adjournment Of
Congress, complete enrolment Of the
whole fighting population Of the North
will be made, and some drafted men called
into the thinned ranks Of our service.
Nearly 100 Union cavalry were cap
tured on Thursday, near Winchester. The
rebels first captured six Of our piekets who
were re-taken by the 18th Virginia Caval-
ry who advanced too far afterwards and
were themselves captured.
The Times special says:
Generals Hooker and Mcclellan were
examined at great length before the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War to-day.
General Mcclellan has nearly completed
his statement It will be read in the COM
mittee on Monday. General Hooker's evil
dence relates mainly to officers at Freder-
icksburg and Falmouth. The Committee
viii examine one or two more witnesses
and then close up the evidence and sub
NIT it to Congress.

NEW TELEGRAPH WREs.-In an article
on q The Extension Of the Telegraph" the
New York Herald Of Saturday, says, At
the West, also, there are new telegraph en-
tsrprises in contemplation. Messrs. Morgan
and Randall, in connection with several 9th
er gentlemen, intend to put up in the course
of the season, superior line between Chi
eago, Buffalo, Albany and New York, and,
as soon as possible to extend their wires to
all the chief western cities. Another line,
we understand, is to be built from this city
to the Vest, and is under contract to be fin
ishsd By the frst Of August. Of the uIti-
nate intentions of the protector Of this line,
We nre not Informed.

WHEELING, Va, March l.
A correspondent Of the Wheeling Intel
ligencer, dated Winchester Feb. 26th,
gives the particulars of the late disgrace
full affair between a portion Of our troops
and The enemy, on the 25th. A rebel cav
airy scout, numbering about eighty, came
inside Of our pickets on the strasburg
road. After a skirmish with some infantry
pickets, in which two were wounded on
each side, they retired, capturing eaval-
~ picket Of twelve men.
Five hundred Of the 18Th Pennsylvania
and New York cavalry sent in pursuit. re-
captured beyond strasburg most Of the
prisoners and horses, and took q number
of prisoners. The Commander Of our de-
tachment transended his orders, and pur-
sued them beyond Woodstock.
After driving in the rebel pickets, he
stood parleying in the road without
guarding. The enemy returned in
force. He charged upon them, and
threw them into confusion, killing and
capturing two hundred in q fight Of tWen-

RAILROAD LEAsE.-The Buffalo Express

RAILROAD LEAsE.--The Buffalo Express
says;
There is we'll founded rumor in bust
ness circles, that, on Friday last negotiations
were completed BY which the New York and
Erie, and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies
leased the Buffalo, New York and Eris Road
for the term Of ninety-nine yeass. This
will be as important to Buffalo as it is to the
roads making the lease. Philadelphia, as
we'll as New York, has commercial interest
in securing portion Of the already large and
prospectively increasing Western trade cen
tsring at Buffalo. The distance to Philadel.
phia from Buffalo is 43S miles, and is made
up as fellows: From Buffalo to Corning, by
the New York and Erie Road, I42 miles !;
from Corning to Elmira, by the Erie Rail
way, Is miles from Elmira to Williams
port, BY the Elmirg and WilliamspOrt Road, is
rs miles from Williamsport to Harrisburg,
BY the Philadelphia and Erie and Northern
Central roads is "A miles, and from Harris
burg to Philadelphia by the PennsylYsnia
Central road is log miles. The dis
lance from Buffalo to New York by the New
York and Erie and Buffalo, New York and
Erie roads is 433 miles. It will be seen that
Buffalo is as near to Philadelphia within I've
miles as it is to New York. The Pennsyl-
Yania Central oad, by securing lease of the
roads connecting Buffalo and Harrisburg, can
come in competition with the New York Cen
tral and New York and Erie roads for the
trads Of this city, and thereby promote and
augment the trade Of Philadelphia, and the
traffic over 100 miles Of the Pennsylvania
Central. This will be as important to Buff
falO as to Philadelphia, as it will augment IL g
trade of the latter and give an additionaT
market to the former. This lease will be all
important 70 the New York and Erie road,
and practically makes the Western terminus
Of that road in this city.
