sra The name of the boat which .

A@- The name of the boat which ex-
ploded and burned at Carondelet Land
ing, near St. Louis, on Sunday morn
ing last, was the Maria not the St.
Louis, as our dispatches stated. About
twenty five lives were lost, mostly SOL
diers Of the Sd Iowa Cavalry It is
thought the explosion was caused by a
shell thrown among the coal by some
fiend. The boat was loaded with 200
sacks of oats, 10 bales of hay, few wag-
ons, GA mules, and 120 horses-all OF
which were lost. Nothing belonging
to the boat was saved. Had the boat
been under way the loss of life would
have been much greater. -aa. r.

Gen. Wright's Expedition.

The reader can judge as well as we OF
the object of the expedition from the
front of Petersburg, under command Of
Maj. Gen. Wright, of the gallant 9TH
corps. Our dispatches yesterday men
toned rumor that Warren had met
and routed considerable force of rebels
at Jarratt's Station. The latter place is
about half way between Petersburg and
Weldon. The possession of the Weldon
road by our forces is highly important
at this time. Thereby Lee will be pre-.
vented from cooperating against Sher.
man, while the latter may aid Grant.

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, Dec. 5th, says
that a staff officer of Grant went to
New York on that day, to catch the
earliest transport to- Port Royal, and
bear dispatches to Sherman. Officers
from Sherman's army, on furlough,
have taken the same route to join their
command. Quartermasters and COM
missaries are shipping. supplies to the
same destination. We hope to hear from
Sherman before this reaches you, this

day, our readers are apprized that the

amendments.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
xxxviIlth Congress Second Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II -jSemute.-
The Senate was called to order by Mr..
Clark, President pro TEN.
| Two private claims We're presented
and referred to the committee on Naval
| Affair. y
| Private petitions Were presented by
Messrs. Doolittle and johnson. :
! Mr.. Johnson presented the name OF
VIM. Cornell Jewett, praying for the
| favor of Congress for an international
lust tribunal to decide upon the points
at issue in the present war.
! Mr.. Sumner moved that il be laid on
the table, and it was so ordered.
| Mr.. Sherman presented petition
from the members of the Western Asso-
ciated Press, asking for Q reduction OF
the duties on Imported paper, which
was referred to the committee on FL
nance,
Mr.. Harlan presented the petition of
eitizeps of Iowa, asking to be discharged
from the service ut the expiration of the
time of service Of the regiments in
which they enlisted. This was referred
to the Military Committee.
| Mr.. Foote, from the Committee on
Public Buildings, offered the House
Joint resolution, which was passed
authorizing the Secretary Of the Navy
to expend money out of the contingent
army department. to enlarge the navy
department buildings. -
Mr.. Wilson presented the petition Of
Major General Weitzel, and 40 other
officers of the 18th army corps, praying
Congress to increase the pay proper of
army officers $40 per month, fix the
communication price of the ration at so
cents instead of 30 cents at present, and
allow SIG per month.
f. Mr.. wilson said the price of provi-
sians had more than doublsd since the
commencement.o of the war, which made
it very hard for army officers, especially
for the line officers to support them
themselves. The condition of the
Treasury made it very difficult to in
crease the pay of these officers. He
would commend the subject to the seri-
GUS consideration of the Military Com
mittee, to whom he moved reference
of the petition, and it was so referred. !
Mr., Wilson presented the petition Of
Col. Higginson, praying for an amend
nent of the act of last session, limiting
the increase Of pay OF ihoSe GaiOred SOL
diers who were free on or before April
9th, 1861. The petition was referred to
the Committee on Military Affairs.
