Of the resolutions. Congress had passed SINH
lar resolutions in relation to Mason and Slidell,
but Seward gave them up.
Objections was here made to the receipt of
the resolutions, when Mr.. Aiken withdrew
them for the purpose OF making an amend
ment, butagain offered them as a whole after
remarking that he did not believe the resoIu
ton would influence the Government in its
action. His object was to see IL the spirit of
the Association was bold enough after its late
defeat to reafirm one OF its principles that this
Governments integrity shall be maintained at
home and abroad.
Motions to lay on the table, adjourn, &c,
were made, but did not prevail. Finally it
was decided to allow each member five min
utes to speak upon the resolution.
DR.. Clayton did not hold Mr.. Lincoln respon-
sible for the seizure Of the Florida. He hoped
the association would pass no such resolution
rejecting upon the Administration. II the
Administration repaired the Florida and turned
her over to the Brazilian Government, 1t would
be one of the most noble acts that it had done
for the past two years, and it was the duty OF
the Administration to surrenser the Florida.
MIR. 5. =. Moses endorsed the remarks of Mr..
Clayton, and would applaud this action of the
Government in returning the Florida, as it
would be an act to be applauded.
The further consideration OF the resolution
was postponed until the next meeting, and the
association adjourned.

The Wires Cut--No Late News,


NASHVILLE, September 2S.-Nothiug has been
heard !iom General Rousseau to-day. The wices
are cut, both on the Tennessee and Alabama and
Nashville and Chattanooga railroads, south OF
Columbia and TIllahoma, No trains are running
south OF Nashville
lsECOND DESPATCH.
NASHVILLE, September 28.-Owing to the cut
ting Of the telegraph wires, nothing has been
heard to-day of General Rousseaus command
Il is believed, however, that a desperate battle
for the possession OF Pulaski has occurred, Or
may now be progressing.
The Rebel force, according to the latest advices
had advanced their lines preparatory to an early
attack on our troops to-day. The fact OF the wires
being cut induces the belief that there are parties
Of Rebels in the rear Of Rousseau, for the wires
on the Chattanooga road were all down beyond
Tullahoma, but have since been repaired and are
working through.
Forests policy is to damage to the fullest
extent both railroads leading to the front.
The extent of the Tennessee and Alabama
road already destroyed will require several weeks
to put in running order.
p. MA courier has Just come in from Gene
raj Rousseau, with dispatches to the effect that
during the night Forrest withdrew his whole
force from the vicinity Of Pulaski and is believed
to have crossed TO Chattanooga.
General Rousseau reports the Rebel less during
yesterdays fight at two hundred, and some twenty
prisoners were captured.
A small Rebel force is at SinnYille.
The Colonel commanding at Columbia tela-
graphs thar small detachments Of Rebelg are
near Columbia, intending to destroy the railroad
between that place and Nashville.
