WASHINGTON, March ., 1863.
The carclcssness Of Gen. Stoughton, result
ing in the capture Of himself cnd other officers
last night at Fairfax c. H., is strongly cen
sured by every body here. Gen. stoughton
graduated at West Point, aad is the youngest
General in the service, being but twcnty-one
years ofage. He has heretofore enjoyed the
reputation Of being fine officer. Before his
promotion he was Colonel Of tie 18th Vermont

"Asu1SGrox, March 9, 1863.
The report that the rebels are marching M.
On Winchester in large force is pronounced
canard on the authority of VIM. Fl. Smith,
Vfce-President Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
The party which captured Gen. stoughton
were guided By the proprietor Of the house in
which he had his headquarters. The rebel
surprise was evidently fully planned before
carried into execution. No intelligence has
been received here that the rebels captured
any other officer saye Gen. stoughton.
WAsu1sGIoS, March 9.-1nformation has
been received that the rebel Captain Mosel5,
with his command, stcalthi1y entered Fairfsx
Court House this morning at two O'Clock,
They captured the Provost Marshal, the pat
rolls, horses, &c, together with Gen. Slough
ton and all the men detached from his brigade.
They also took every horse 10 be found, pub.
Mc or private. Col. johnson, commanding
the post, escaped. The rebels searched for
men in every direction. All our available
cavalry force, at last accounts, we're pursu-
ing the rebels.
The enemy appeared suddolly during a rain
storm. Gen. Stoughton had established his
a headquarters % ct some distance from his brig
ade. The rebels captured ITO horses.
They went In search Of Gen. Wyndham, but
that General was In Washington They, how
ever, searched his trunk and took his papers.
= Telegraph opcrator, 1t is said, was taken
by the raiders.

Especial Dispatch TO the Chicago Tribunc.1
EsD1ASAroL1s, March 9, 1858,
With yesterday expired the Last day upon
which my legislation could be accomplished,
Tie coppcrheads refused, up to the last hour,
to make any compromise or give any promise
that their revolutionary aud unconstitutional
measures would not be pressed upon the
House as soon as quorum was present.
Owing to this fact, the Union members did
not return until late Last night, and leeis1a-
tion Is now at an end No appropriation bills
were passed, and the Governor suddenly
finds the benevolent institutions, penitentla-
ries and State Government on his hands. and
no money appropriated with which to carry
them on for the ensuing two years. He an
nounccs his Intention Of carrying them On,
notwithstanding the action Of this treasona-
b,> Legislature. He has been equal to every
omcl .-ency, and will doubtless triumph in
this unS"rtaking. The Coppcrheads are con-
gratulatine themselves that the Governor will
be compelled 70 call an extra session, but
they are much mistaken. The Governor
never wants to s.> AS many friends Of jeff
Davis together again n Indiana, and they
will not assemble again d his call.
1ND1ASAroL1s, March g.. The Legislature
adjourned sine die today, with 1T passing any
appropriation bills.
