Congress Awake a lest

The gold panic which, occurred on
Thursday will prove valuable, we begin
to think. to the country. II caused Con
Egressmen to open their eyes to the dan.
ger that threatened the national finances,
and now we rejoice to observe, they lire
fully awake to the necessity Of the times.
Resolutions were passed yesterday by
the popular branch Of Congress, that are
most significant. And these resolutions
were carried by such overwhelming ma
jorities that there can be no doubt as to
their meaning. In the first place. it was
resolved that each day SHOULD be devoted
to the consideration of the Internal Reve.
nue. bill, and night sessions be held for
other business. Secondly,it WAS resolved
that greatly increased duties should be
laid on all Injuries. foreign and domes-
tic; and, thirdly, it was resolved that tho
circulation Of local banks should be heay.
lily taxed. A joint resolution was intro
duced increasing tho duty on for.ign
goods and wares fifty per cent, to contin-
ue sixty days from its passage. The OBJ.
ject of this was to prevent oyerimports-
ton, in anticipation of the revised tariff
to be reported and acted upon. 1t re-
qgired two thirds vote to suspend the
rules in order to pass this resolution. fail
ing to receive which. il had to go to Com.
mittee of the Whole. A large majority.
however. favored it. and this vote may
be taken AZ an indication of what the
tariff will be. This action, which fore
shadows tie policy Of Congress in regard
to currency, tariffs and taxes, will inspire
confidence in the public mind, giving as
sufance, as IL does, that the expenses Of
the Government are no longer to be met
by the issuing of paper money. The
expansion Of the currency is at an end.
Now the country is on the road that
leads away from the breakers which
threatened to wreck the National finan-
ces. ... l.u, .... -....u ,..I.

the enemy advanced in overwhelming
numbers estimated at 10000. General
Ransom got all the available troops to the
front, and opened on them. The enemp
lost heavily, but advanced steadily, and
some of our cavalry gave way, and .our
infantry fell back. In few moments
the enemy pressed us so closely, and the
panic among the cavalry was demaniz-

1t is said upon good authority, that these
men were under the influence of the Loyal Lcagu
Of Bucyrus;that Captain Tyler had been point
ed out to them, and the aforesaid Bully had
made the remark that the Captain would be {
dead man before he left the town. This, We
believe will be in testimony against the offend
ers. N'
In the first place, thcre is not and never has
been Loyal Leagucin Bucyrus; in the second
place, there were not two men in Bucyrus who
knew Potts and Craig were in town before the
fight; in the third place no such Testimony
against the offenders wa, offered; and finally
Captain Tyler distinctly SAID while here that
the person who slot him had no design or in

Over two thousand Rebel prisoners have ar
rived at the Point during the past ten days.
Among the rest are 4 large number captured at
Petersburg and belonging to Beauregard's COM
mand. These men, previous TO their entering
the camp, are closely examined, and all extra
clothing, watches, and money are taken from
them by the Provost Marshal, who keeps an ex-
act account, and when they depart the money,
watches, &c, is returned. Some rather singu-
lar cases present themselves TO be examined
Some have gold and notes hid under their hairs
some sewed up under the lining OF their cloth
ingj some In the bottom of their socks; others
think they have safely secured their specie In
the lining Of their boot-tops, but the vigilant
eye Of Lieut.. Phillips and his corps of detect
ives soon show Its existence, and the gold comes
forth.
One knapsack lately examined contained
two full suits Of female apparel and some baby
clothing, and when the same was brought to
light, It caused some merrlUent among his
| comrades, who had quite q laugh at his ex-
pense. These clothes came quite handy, and
were Immediately sent TO the female prisoners

Six hundred and hfty-one rebel officers left

ware, where they can be confined TO them
selves, and where they will not contaminate
the priyates into the idea of escaping. Over
fifty still remain sick in the Officers Camp

A Cork paper says 1t gives us pleasure to

ing off In the number of persons seeking pas
sages to New York by the steamers calling at
Queenstown. 1t is known that the great rush
through this port for the past few months has
been, for the most part, Of emigrants whose pas
sages were prepaid by friends in America, the
proportion Of these who emigrated at their
own expense being comparatively small. The
thousands who were Influenced by the former
inducement have been nearly all swept away

quietly remain at their homes in the country
till the days Of sailing, for which respectively
they have been booked, approach.
The demand for passages by persons paying
for themselves has also, for the past week or
two, been suffering considerable diminution,

the way, there is very fair promise The con-

Major General Dir, Eete York:
A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated yester-
day, 9th, $50 p. M, at his headquarters, re.
ports no operations in front, except from our
own guns, which Ere into the bridge at Peters
burg from a distance OF 1900 yards. The dis
patch gives the following Intelligence from
rebel papers:
petersburg paper of the 25th states that
Hunter is striking for jackson River Depot,
about forty miles north Of Salem, and says that
II he reaches Covington-whlch they suppose
he will do-with most Of his forces, but with
loss Of material, he will be safe.
"The same paper accuses Hunter Of destroy
ing a great amount of private property and
stealing large plumber of wagons, horses and
cattle.
1.-THE same paper also states that Wilson
destroyed a train OF cara loaded with cotton
Apd furniture, burned the depot building, sc,
at Burkesville and destroyed some Of the track,
and was still pushing south. All the railroads
leading into Richmond are now destroyed, and
some Of them badly"
Adispatch from Gen. Sherman, received this
morning, reports that yesterday, (June %, an
unsuccessful attack was made by our forces on
the enemy's positions, which resulted in loss
to us Of between two and three thousand. The
following particulars are now given;
Pursuant to my orders Of the cath, diver
sion was made on each flank of the enemy, es-
pecially down the sand-town road. at s a. m.
Mcpherson attacked at the southwest end OF
Kenesaw, and Thomas at point about mile
farther south, at the same time. The skirmisb-
ers and artillery along the whole line kept up
a sharp FIRE.
"Neither attack succeeded, though both col
umns reached the enemy's works, which are
very strong. McPherson reports his loss about
500, and Thomas about 1000. The loss Ii par.
tlcularly heavy in General and field officers.
Gen. Harker is reported mortally wounded;
also, Col. Dan. McCook, commanding a brig
ade; Col. Rice, 57th Ohio very seriously. Coils.
BarnhAll, 10th Illinois, and Augustine, 55th
illinois, are killed.
Mcpherson took a hundred prisoners, and
Thomas about as many, but do not suppose
we inflicted heavy loss on the enemy, as ht
kept close behind his parapets."
No other military Intelligence has been re-
eelved by the Department.
