The Richmond Enquirer contains a
report of doings in the Rebel Con
gress, which augurs that stormy dis
cussions may be expected. Mr.. Foote
of Tennessee, in a speech, denounces
JEFF. Davis as the cause of all the dis
asters to the rebel arms, and charges
him with exerting malign influence
wherever he has visited the troops,
Offering to prove that his rulership
has almost ruined the country. Ad-
verting to the horrible cruelties prac-
ticed upon our prisoners at Richmond,
Mr.. Foote did not scruple to admit
that they had been reduced to starva-
ton, but threw the blame upon Mr..
Northrump, the Rebel Commissary,
whom he charged with having STEALTH.
ly placed the Government in the dis.
honorable attitude in which the mat.
ter makes it stand.

brothers, that this Union is reality,
and we shall mourn together for the
evil wrought by this rebellion. We
are now near the graves of the mis-
guided, whom we have consigned to
their last resting place with pity for
their errors and with the same heart
full Of grief with which we mourn
over the brother by whose hand, rails.

misguided brother persisted.
When we part tomorrow night, let
us remember that we owe it to our
country and to mankind that this war
shall have for its conclusion the es.
tablishing of the principle of demo.
cratic government-the simple princi'
pie that, whatever party, whatever
portion of the Union prevails by con
stitntional suffrage in an election
that party is to be respected and main
tanned in power until it shall Civ,

we are concerned, practically will b.

From Knoxville.

Advices from Knoxville state that
the main body Of Longstreet's army
is at Rogerville. During the retreat,
Longstreet lost 5000 men in prison
ers and deserters. There were
swarms of fugitives from his ranks
and his army is worn out by hard ser
vice and disheartened. The retreat
ing rebels are suffering intensely for
clothing and food. Longstreet aban-
doncd his siege train of six guns af-
ter burning the gun carriages. The
guns fell into our hands. Two of our
heavy trains were met between Cum
berland Gap at Knoxville with sup
plies for the army. There were thir-
ty days. supplies at Knoxville when
the rebels reiterated. The people
around Knoxville are destitute, the
rebel army having consumed every
thing eatable. Longstreet's army is
represented to be demoralized in an
extraordinary degree by their hard.
ships and assertions in East Tennes-
see. Longstreet is reported killed
and his forces surrounded.

A colored man in Indianola, recent

The State Register, from which we

"At the time our informant left

CAPTURE of the Chesapeake.

A Halifax despatch, of the II inst,
says the Chesapeake was captured
that morning by the Ellie and Annie
in Sammbro Harbor, twenty miles
from Halifax. The Ellie and Annie
was formerly a blockade runner on
the Southern coast, but, having been
captured, is now in the service of the
United States. Soon after the capture
of the Chesapeake the gunboat Daco-
tab came up and ordered her into Hal
flax. The capture having taken place
in British waters, the Government of
Nova Scotia claimed jurisdiction and
issued orders for the arrest of the pi.
rates. After consultation with the
British Minister at Washington, Sec
retaries Welles and Seward issued or
ders to surrender the Chesapeake to
the Nova Scotia authorities. A Hall
fax despatch of the 10th says:
"At / o'clock this P. NJ. the steamer
Chesapeake and the prisoners on board
were delivered over to the Govern
ment. Upon the arrival of the boat
containing the prisoners at the
Queenstown wharf the excitement be-
came intense. The prisoners were
seized by boats crew Of the ship
and hurried off by the crowd in attend,
ance. Upon the Government officers
moving to arrest the prisoners under
their warrant, they were seized and
held by prominent citizens and rem
dered powerless to perform their du-
ties. The crowd finally succeeded in
getting the pirates off in small boats,
which forthwith moved down the bay.
The affair causes the greatest excite
ment throughout the city. What
course the authorities will pursue in
the matter it is impossible to say.
The pirates are now all at liberty and
scattered throughout the province"
The British demand upon the State
Department to surrender the pirates
who captured the Chesapeake, was
made under the Extradition Treaty
Our Consul at Halifax wants persons
sent on to identify the pirates. The
Acacia left Portland with such per
sons on Tuesday night.

John Morgan,

A somewhat unreliable report says
that John Morgan has reached Rich
mond ria the Big Sandy river. jeff
Davis has given him command in
the Army of Georgia. A Chattanoo
ga despatch of the 18th inst. says:
John Morgan escaped across the
Tennessee at Galespie's Landing. GO
miles above Chattanooga. Capt.
Cummings and Robert Cummings, who
escaped with him from Columbus, were
captured, together with fourteen of
his escort. Morgan escaped on a val
liable race horse presented him in
Kentucky, going in the direction Of
Athens. There is some possibility
that he may yet be taken.
Lieut.. McGhee, of Morgan's staff,
who escaped with the General, arrived
in Russell county, en- route to Rich
mond. He left morgan at Cincinnati,
and is satisfied that he is in the rebel
lines.

parts of the city, and doing much
damage. All the rebel batteries open.

a large number of heavy timbers, boil

amount of lumber that came down is
so large that it is believed that the
