MIR. COLLA>lER Of Vt. offered al amend
ment requiring the President. under the call
prorosed In the bill, to take into account the
number Of men that any State has furnished

Mr. CUWAS Of Fa. thought that the amend

feet without great confusion.
At half-past four the Senate took recess
until O'Clock.
BUFFALO, Feb. 9.-No adjournment Of the
House or Senate received here up to a. H.
fREFOR1EK.
The" House resumed the consideration Of
| the Indian appropriation bill. The amend
ment to pay the interest on bonds, including
| those stolen from the Interior Department,
held in trust for various tribes, was rejected.
Mir. ANTHONY Of R. !. moved to amend

to bcascertained By examination ofcandidate=.
| Rejected.
1t the expiration Of the morning hour, the
| Clair called up the special order, namely: the
bill enrolling and calling out the militia Of the
/ United States.
3Ir. WILSON Of Mass. said be simply pro.
| posed to explain tile bill, and the reason Why
/ it was introduced. We were now engaged in
agigantic struggle for national life. ca,d fol
twenty months VIC hayo been sending the
young men Of the country into. the. field.
Those regiments had suffered much from hat
tie and disease and until now many ofthe old
regiments numbered no more than 800 lncn
We were told, by the leaders Of tha rebellion
that they we're fighting for independence, and
that they would make no compromise; there
fore, the folly Of talking Of reacs and eompro
all such talk was little better THAI treason
This battle was to be fought out to the end
and he wanted 1t SO fought As to cEusl
out the rebellion anl restore tic nation. H
assumed that it was the duty Of every goo
citizen to do his utmost to preserve tho na
tional life. Congress lad the right, under th
Constitution, to raise armies to put down 1t
surrcction; and, if necessary, it had the rfgll
to call into the service Of the country ever
citizen, either ns 4 volunteer or By draft.
might never be necessary TO put the bill int
execution; ha hoped it would not, but
was the duty Of Congress to provide all ne'
essary me-. ms to carry on this contest. Thl
bill prop osed to enroll the whole people {
the cor tntry, and not merely the militia.
Mr.. COWAN Of Pa. moved to insert men
ber.s Of Congress among the persons e1cmr
4 from the provisions Of tue bill.
Mr, WILSON Of Mass. hoped the amen

Mr. DOOLTrTLE Of Wis. thought IL

FROM sui LlVAN'S COMMAND.
Matters in West Tennessee


CAIHo. Feb. III. 1861,
It is generally admitted that Gen. Sullivan
gives tlc entire credit Of the capture Of the
rebel Col. Dawson, and other operations near
Dyersburg, to Col. D. Wood of the ed Ohio
volunteers. Trenton and the troops there,
are under the immediate command Of Col.
Wood, most efficient and gallant officer;
and Trenton Is in the District Of jackson, and
not in the District Of Columbus, as stated IN
lie first dispatch sent to you on this
subject. Herein WAS an" errpr, which
led to my second dispatch calling upon Col
Wood for m explanation. Col. Wood has 4
command in Gen. Sulliyan's District, there
fore dating the announcement Of the capture
of Dawson at Columbus was an oversight, and
apparently gave the credit Of the achievement
to the troops Under Gen. Asboth who COM
,nands the district Of Columbus; Tins, after
much labor, the truth bus been brought forth.
Late arrivals from Jackson state that lively
times arc still expected in that vicinity.
Gu.rillas are nearly played out thcrcabouts.

recently effected change OF base under cir
cumstances demanding the utmost sccresy, to
prevent advantage being taken of IL by tho
enemy. A knowledge Of what was about to
be done Inns been In our possession fer nearly
week, and doubtless other leading Journals
have been kept as well informed by their cor
respondents aud agents.
Putting these facts together, it ia quite evi-
dcnt that things are not as they were with the
army Of thc Potomac.
What all this means we do not pretend to
say. If the resolution has been taken to
abandon Virginia Us a field of active opera
tions, to giye Richmond the go-ly and send
our troops where ther eau do something, It is
TO be commended i'll the warmcst terms. We

IDENTIFY alludes, heretofore agreed upon 10 for
fner conference 10 reference 10 the exchange o.
prisoners Zone Of the subjects embraced in you
letter to me,) are now, and have been for somt
time, distinctly ct issue on several important
ro'ns. The existing cartel, owing to these dis
agreements, is virtually susptnded, 30 far al
the exchange OF ofacers on either side 10 con-
cerned. Notices of retaliation have been given
on both sides.
The effort, therefore. for the many and 90.
gent reasons set forth In your letter Of insituc-
tioDs to me, TO see n these differences could
not be removed, and II clearer understanding
between the parties as to the general conduct Of
the war could not be arrived as before this ex.
rene measure should be ieso ted to by either
party, was no less in accordance With the die
tltes of hum anity than 10 strict conformity with
the usages of belligerents iL modern times
Dseply imp 'essed as / was with these views
and feelings In undertaking the mission aud
asking the conference. can but exoFees my
profound regret at the result of the Effort made
to obtain 1t, and | eau but entertain the belief
that II the conference sought had been granted,
mutual good could have been Effected by H.;
and If this war, 90 unnatural, 90 unjust, 30 no.
carlsuan and 60 inconsistent With every funda.
mental principle of American constitutional
liberty "must needs" continue 70 be wsged
against us, that at least some Of It's severer hor.
rors, which now SO eminently threaten, might
have been avoided.
Ve.y respectfully,
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.
