from La Grange, Tenn, 44sch inst, says:
AS soon as Gen. Grants army commenced
falling back from Cotfeeville and Oxford, every
house not guarded was burned or an attempt
made to burn it, especially in Holly Springs,
and the city was only saved from total destruc-
ton by placing an entire regiment on patrol
duty. The explosion Of ammunition in the
public square was 50 great that hardly win
dow in the city but was blown to pieces. The
Episcopal church, very neat edifce near the
court house, was perfectly wrecked; the pews
were thrown out Of place, the organ and chan
eel demolished But all this fell short Of the

ENGLISH Y FEssELs FOR THE CoNFEDERATEs.
A correspondent OF the Boston Commercial
Bulletin, writing from Liverpool under date Of
Dec. 81, makes some interesting statements re-
garding the development Of the Confederate
navy. He says there are now at that port, at
Laird establishment, where the Alabama was
built, three new iron screw steamers, one said
to be 5000 tons, the other two Of 900 tons
each, all very fine specimens, and expected to
be formidable vessels and Of great speed. The
larger ship is reported to be ready for sea- with
Goals and stores on board but no armament,
and her agents are now shipping crew OF
picked men. It is hiLted that Maury (now in
Liverpool) is to have the command The two
other shipsare receiving their machinery, and
will not be ready for the present The same
steamer that took the guns, &c., to the Ala
bama was in port, and is likely to be soon EN-
ployed in similar service. A party of officers
attached to this feet have appeared in the ma
val uniforms adopted by the Confederacy, since
the news Of the battle Of Fredericksburg was
received The same correspondent also con-
firms the statement recently made regarding the
departure of a large feet of small steamers
with cargoes of food and stores destined for the
Confederates.
ILLINOIS. Mr. ~Wenger and Mr.. P. O Brien
have introduced very emphatic resolutions into
the Illinois Legislature which have been referred
to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr..
Wenger's is;
Resolved, By the people Of the State of IL
linois, through our representatives, that we
are in favor of an immediate suspension OF
hostilities, and commend the holding Of Ma
tional Convention for an amicable settlement
of our difficulties.
Mr. O 'Brien's are:
Resolved That the Administration has bro
ken its faith, violated it's REPEATED pledges, de-
ceiyed the people, betrayed the army, and a.
most succeeded in making the restoration Of the
Union hopeless impossibility.
Resolved, That the proclamation of Abra.
ham Lincoln, Of September %, 1862, and OF
January l, 1863, proposing to give freedom TO
the slaves of the Southern States, on sald. lst
day of January, 1868, are alike unconstitutlon-
al and contrary to the rule Of civilized warfare,
calculated to bring shame, disgrace and eter
nal infamv upon the hitherto unsulled tag OF
the Republic; and that Illinois, ever ready and
willing to do battle for the Union and the Con
stitution, will protest against any war which
has for it's object the execution aid enforce
ment Of said proclamation.

of Mosby's cavalry.
They C! ossed the Potomac at DAYLIGHT. at Mud
dy Creek, mile and half below Seneca Lock,
and proceeded to the latter place, which was &C.
cupied by Co. |, 9th Michigan cavalry, some 40
of whom were in camp. The Michigan cavalry
retreated to the bridge over Seneca Creek, crossed
it, and then made stand. Finding that the en-
envy were 10 sufficient force to surround them.
they continued their retreat to Pooesville, where
they arrived in squads of four and five, looking
rather dusty The rebels followed a mile or two
and then returned to Seneca, burnt the tents
and forage of the Michigan boys and retreated
back to the " sacred soil, carrying with them six
prisoners and number of horses. Our loss in
the skirmlsh was six men notwithstanding the
Orderly Sergeant-and two wounded Another
one was drowned while attempting to swim his
horse over the canal. The rebels lost Lieut.. and
two men killed and several wounded. The cav
airy have now q P. NJ returned to Seneca, and
are doing patrol on the tow path. All our killed
were found stripped Ct their shoes and riaed of
their money.
When the retreating cavalry reached the camp
of the 10th Vermoat it took ooly five minutes to
get every man at Brigade Headquarters under
arms-cooks, walters, camp-yuards, and all were
" trolled out and formed in line of battle, where
we remained, patiently waiting to be 'gobbed up,

The Effects of Disubedience.

Not another word Eddy. Icannot allow

The little boy stood for a few minutes i1res-

Edward was not naturally disobedient boy,
but on this particular afternoon he had set
his heart on fishing, and he determined that
his project should be carried out. lie had

South Mountain 8, Antietam 10, First battle
of Fredericksburg.
At the time of the second and last battle of
Fredericksburg was at home in Vermont on a
fifteen days leaye Ia this last battle, the Sixth
Corps, to which we belong, got hard pushed, and
General Howe said to Col. Grant commander of
the Vermont bri 1ade, " Ga your brigade depends
the safety of the whole corps" And sure enough !.
the rest of the division could not stand the pres
sure, but either fell back or disgracetuy ran, and
left the brigade to work alone against rebel
corps.
For the honor of the State let me say that
they, like the Green Mountain Boys at Hubbards
tewn, stood their ground for while then charged
and had a ha"d to hand conflict, in which they,
the Vermont boys, came off vlctors.
An officer of another corps was heard to say
that the honor of being a private in the YER
mont brigade was greater than to be colonel in
any other"

The VERMONT BATTERY AT PORT HUDsON.-
We cpy the following honorable mention of
Capt HoIcomb and the Vermont Battery at Port
Hudson, from The correspondent of the New FORK
Times
Among the many individual acts of bravery on
this day, one is especially worth recording. Capt.
G. B. H4lSted the brave and interchangeable As
sistant All liant General OF Gen Augur thinking
that the enemy could have their attention drawn
to another quarter, got Capt. T. Q, Holcomb, of
the % W. battery to bring him one gun soon
as he could. With this one little feId-piece, and
accompanied only by Capt. H4lsted and eight
men, Capt" Holcomb kept dAshiDg about the
ground, firing upon the enemy, snittlng his posi-
tion the moment the enemy began TO play upon
him, and thus managed throughout the fight to
keep one or two of the enemy's guns constantly
wasting fire, that would otherwise have been play
ing with deadly effect among our men.
Capt. Holcomb is the same who played so con-
spicuous part 10 the battle OF Pains Store, He
10 a brave and deserving old Mexican soldier,
whose merits should not pass unnoticed. His
highest ambition, have been told, is to have the
command OF negro regiment OF cavalry, and it
is to be hoped his wishes will be granted for in
such earnest hands success is matter of certainty

PRoRoGUINd THE ILLINOIS LEGIsLATUKE-As
some papers, which are diligently striving to
make partisan capital out of every act done by
those who support the Government, are rails
ing clamor against Gov Yates for his recent
act dssolving the Illinois Legislature, character
izng the act as illegal, unconstitutional, tyran-
nical and despotic, it is well enough to give
the tacts-facts which will never see the light
in these Democratic (falsely 50 called) papers
On the 9Th inst, the Senate OF Illinois, by a
vote of fourteen to seven resolved to adjourn
without day at six that evening. The House
overruled this by substituting for the 9Th the
22i inst. The resolve, thus amended, was re-
turned to the Senate, which disagreed to the
amendment to eleven. la this dead
lock, they adjourned for the night. Now the
State Constitution expressly provides
Sec l3. In Sc o. disagreement between
the two Houses with respect to the time OF ad
tournament. the Governor shall haze pOt0er 10 I'D
3omn the General Assembly TO such time as he
may think proper provided 1t be not to a period
beyond the next Constitutional meeting of the
same.
Gov. Yates hereupon next morning adjourned
the Legislature without day. And this is all
there is of this arbitrary and unconstitutional
act about which such fuss is made.
