No boats have arrived here today from the

Especial Dispatch Of the Chicago Tribunc.1
MUHFREEsBoEo, March 3, 1853.
Yesterday forage train from General r. s.
Changers division was attacked by the cue
my's cavalry, 500 strong, two miles from
Eaglesyillc. General Granger himself WAS In
command Of the protection force, which con-
sisted Of the regular brigade, Lieut.. Colonel
Shepherd; two regiments, 10th Wisconsin
and 5Sth Indiana, from Col. scribncr's brig
ade, and detachment Of the I'd Kentucky
cavalry.
ODr forces were at the foot of hiu when
the advance body Of the enemy appear
cd upon the summit, who was dispersed By 4
vollcy from the 18th regulars. Our troops
then advanced 10 the summit, and after an IT.
regular fight, lasting more than an hour, drove
the entire rebel force into Cedar woods beyond
the hill. The rebel loss was five killed, twelve
wounded, and two taken prisoners. Our loss
was tEo men slightly wounded.
Gen. Granger returned at II o'clock last
night with his entire train laden with forage.
Gen. Ncglcy, left today for the North on
twenty days leave Of absence. The weather
is cold, with slight fall of SNOW in the after
noon.
thority delegated by the Secretary of War,
Gcn- Rosccrans has ordered thlt the follow

the service: Major II. C. Rogers, Lieuts,

well as the pay. Now, when the Secretary
Of War receives $500 Communication
money, he will be able to pay
the old soldier who rc.cntess the service
as substitute, the snug sum Of 4400,
besides rations, clothing, and $500 a
month. Looking at the law in this
light, and constituting its meaning,
as We have donc-and it can fairly bear
no other construction, the objection to the
18th section will vanish like mist, and the
law will become popular with all loyal citi-
zens. The Copperheads would object to
any law, having for its object the putting
down Of the rebellion. Their hostility is
not TO tic 18th section, but to every sec
ticn Of the act. They want 10 force dis
union pe:ce. To such Tipers our article
is not addressed.

The debate on the. resolutions on the State
Of the Union WAS closed tonight, in the Sen
ate, by Hon. C. II. Crosswell Of Lenawee.
His speech WAS worthy Of the man, in scope
it vas comprehensive yet concise, finished
and classic in oratory, in argument lucid and
unanswcrahle. lie showed from their own
authority that it vas the South which has
changed front on the slavery question,
and that the Republicans stand on
the ground occupied By the fathers. He
gibbcted the leaders Of the Democracy in their
unholy crusade against the Administration.
His manner was too courteous to excite Grim.
ination, and even the opposition congratula-
ted his effort. It was superb speech, and
listened to throughout with marked attention.
Both Houses are rapidly disposing Of the
business before them.

II1ETTITaTT-SEvE CONGRESS
The session is at an end. The sands of
the Thirty Seventh Congress have run out.
The period Of its existence comprises the
most important epoch in the history of this
country. Its first assembling was on ca1l
that grew out Of the perils Of the nation,
staggering under the violence of unmaslzcd
rebellion. To write what it has accom-
plished is more studied and elaborate task,
To write ho1c it has accomplished it
only slight familiarity with its course of
business is necessary, It is a significant
fact that bully!ism and ruf1lanism in the
Halls Of Congress seeded with the seced-
ers. I'll manners, fcrocious uttcrances, and
pistol-pointcd periods went off with tlc
rebels. Amid all the excitements of the
times the dccency Of the late Congress has
seldom Teen invaded by occurrences that
recall past disg1aces. At last Congress is
civilized. Men Of all parties must admit
