ME BANKS TRANSFORMS.

The report of Senator Grimes in relation to the
alleged abuses in the charter and outfit of the
transports for the Banks and other expeditions,
IS very Voluminous document. II arrives at
the following conclusions
First. That all Government vessels should be
secured through legitimate channels, by officers
in answer 10 advertisements.
second. The practice OF employing agents,
with Unlimited power to fix the rate or charter
cannot be justified.
Thir1. That all vessels should be thoroughly
Inspected by competent experts, responsible 10

justified w

THE RECENT EVENTS At GALVESTON AND SABINE
PASS,

OFFICIAL REPORT OF ADMIRAL FARRA-
GUT.
The surrender ofAe Harrist Lone an act of Gov.
ardie..
The Navy Department has received the follow
ing dispatches from Com Farragut
U. s. Flag Ship Hartford,
New Orleans, Jan. 20.
Sri herewith enclose the report of Acting
Master j. II. Hammond, OF the Harriet Lane, by
which You will perceive the exaggera;ions which
have been circulated concerning the defence of
that vessel also the pusanimOus conduct of the
officer who accompanied the fag Of truce, and
corroborated to Lieutenant Commanding Law the
enemy's statement that all the officers and crew
Of the Harriet Lane, save some ten or fifteen per-
sons, were killed or wounded whereas there
were scarcely that number Of killed and wound
ed.
take it for granted that of the nine slightly
wounded, the greater part amounted to nothing,
so that the testimony Of the rebel pilot was very
near the truth, when he said that FIVE were
killed and six or eight wounded.
cannot think but that for the death Of Com
modore Wainwright and Lieutenant Commander
Lee, the vessel could not have been captured
II is difficult, however, to conceive o more pus-
sianimous surrender Of a vessel to an enemy
already in our power than occurred 10 the case
of the Harriet Lane.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ID. q. FARRA0UT, Rear Admiral.

Pass with two cotton fortified steamers on a
certain morning, aud ran out 10 sea some twelve
otIourteen miles, where the Morning Light was.

and soon came up with aud captured her without
losing man. The same course Of non resistance
appears to have been pursued by those OF the

der, and was taken into port
nm very thankful that they did not get the
guns of the Morning Light, as il would have en-
aoled them to erect a battery Of great strength
in such a shallJw pass. YUu will notice that the
guns of the Morning Light were loaded, and be
came heated, by which circumstance Judge
that the men did not even fire their last
charge, hut surrendered without a struggle.
am pleased to see, by Commodore Bells
report, that the Harriet Lane is still in Galveston
harbor, although they have tried to Impress us
with the idea that she had run out during the
last gale, which lie now known not to be the case.

Willard Salisbury.
TFrom The Madiaon-IndIaua-Coufler

From the Madison-Indiana-Courierl
The United States Senate is disgraced by the
presence of one Salisbury, who represents, or
rather misrepresents the State of Delaware. He
has just succeeded in obtaining most unenviable
notoriety. The other day, in what was meant
to be very bitter TRADE against the adminstra-
tion he so far forgot his dignity, or rather the
dignity which Senator should possess, as to call
the President an ''imbecie," calling him by
name. This, as every one acquainted with par.
liamentary rules knows, was an outrageous vio-
latOn Of such rules as are observed in deliber-
ative assemblies.
He was very properly called to order by the
presiding officer, whereupon he insolenty re-
fused to take bis seat, and attempted to 90 on
with his speech. Tho Vice President then
ordered the Sergeant Arms to take the gentle
man in custody. Whilst that officer was con
Quoting him from the Senate Chamber, Sauls-
bury displayed revolver which he took from
his coat pocket After short time had elapsed,
he ngain went back. and attempted to renew his
Fpeech.--Ile was q second time called TO order
and threatened with arrest, whereupon he took
his seat venting his bile by swearing at the Ser
geant.at- Arms, and Senator sumner.
1t is with the greatest moruieation that we
chronicle the occurrence Of such disgraceful
scene 10 the United States Senate. We hoped
that when the Southern members left its halls,
that the Senate would be forever freed from
such disturbances. As Salisbury halls from q
slave State however, it is not so much a matter
Of surprise that he should manifest the old in
eOleet fafhanly, spirit Of Southern aristoeracye
1t is manifestationaofsthatid domiaeering spirit

GOOD FOR GENERAL MIT0HELL

The following order from Gen. Mitch
ell, commanding post, is the best thing of
the season. Whenever an arrival ofrebel
prisoners takes place, the females of Nash
vile flock to the various Offices where
passes are issued in order to obtain ad-
mission to the prison-house where said
prisoners are confined. The following
order is full of sarcasm and justice, and
will suit the rebel sympathizers-about as
much as the Maine liquor law did whisky
drinkers. The rebel ladies like very well
to visit the prisoners-of-war confined in
our midst, and, us a cloak, take in a little
basket of provisions, &c. But wholesale
charity they will spurn. The times are
too hard. You will also notice that the
General forbids the visiting of these sick
and wounded Confederates by others than
those belonging to the families where they
are to be boarded. General Mitchell also
holds these "new hospital superinten-
dents" responsible for the delivery of the
prisoners when called for by the Federal
authorities
HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES FoRcR1,
NASHVILLE, Tenn, February /, 1868,
ORDER.
The general commanding this post de-
sires to express his admiration of the zeal
eyinced by certain Secession families in
administering 10 the wants and alleviating
the suffering of the Confederate wounded
to-day brought to this city.
Great praise should be awarded them
for their devotion to the suffering soldiers
Of that cause to which they are so enthu-
siasteally allied.
Desiring to give them still greater faci-
lites for the exercise of that devotion
which, to-day, led them through the mud
of the public streets of the city, unmind-
full of the inclemency of the weather, and
desiring further to Obviate the necessity
Of that public and Haunting display, which
must be repugnant to the retiring disposi-
tons of the softer sex, the general com
manding directs as follows:
Surgeon Thurston, medical director,
will select As of the wounded and sick
Confederate soldiers this day brought from
the front, to be quartered as followss
Fifteen at the house of Mrs. Mccall
fifteen at the house of DR. Buchanan, and
fifteen at the house of Mr. Sandy Carter
all on Cherry street, Immediately below
Church street.
As it is desirable that the sick anC
wounded should not be agitated by tn,
presence of too many persons, no one will
, be admitted 10 the rooms in which tn,
wounded are, except their surgeons, with
out passes from Surgeon Thurston.
Each family above named will be hel(
! responsible for the safe delivery of tn,
/ Confederate soldiers thus assigned. whel
! called for by the proper military authority
). under penalty, in failure of such delivery
= of forfeiture to the United States of thei
f property and personal liberty.
