Rirbnnnn qispatr1,


a CONFEDERATE OFFICER Killed.
On Thursday Of last week Captain John
c. Biackford, daring end intrepid scoSt,
attached to the forces In the Valley Of
Virginia, lost his life In an engagement
with the Yankees q Newtown, In Frederick
county. He had been sent down by General
Early TO ascertain something with reference
to the enemy's movements and numbers In
the Lower Valley. With his paoty he had
reached Newtown, where he got into an en-.
counter with the enemy, and was killed.
Col Boyd, who commanded the Yankee
forces, had his body taken up and sent to
Jefenon county to his friends, remarking
1t the time that "he was brave man, and
deserved an honorable inteSment."
Z The circumstances conkected with his
death, ~ related to NJ, are as follows: Capt
Blsckford, with three OF his men, had
stopped at public house In ,Newtown to
warm themselves. They had not been long
In the room before It was entered by eight
men dressed In Confederate uniform. Black
ford soon discovered that they were Yam.
KEGS In disguise, and at once left the house
with his men, and started for their horaee.
The party Of eight men followed them out,
and commenced fire upon them. The fire
was returned by Blackford's party, and two
OF the enemy killed, but In the firing Capt
B. himself was shot dows. The balance of
his party escaped, although the town was
soon filled with Yankee troops. ]
Capt Blackford was quite young man,
and had been In the service since the COM
mencement of the war. For long time he
was q scout for the lamented Ashby, and
possessed the confidence of his gallant chief.
About two months ago he was betrayed and
captured along with party of his men, near
Martlnsburg, and taken to Fort McHenry.
From this prison he subsequently escaped,
and came back to his native State with re-
newed determination to avenge the wrongs
there heaped upon him and his comrades.

CONFEDER ,TK STATES CONGRESS.
In the Senate yesterday the proceedings
were opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Langhorne, Of the Methodist Church.
Mr.. Hill, of Ga, introduced bill to pro.
vide for the investigation and settlement of
the transactions and accounts of Quarter
masters, 1Ccmmissaries, contractors, and
other financial and disbursing officers,
agents, and employees OF the Confederate
States. The bill was read aud referred to
the COMMITTEES on the Judiciary.
Mr.. Capert.'n, of Va, introduced bill
for the relief of VIM. NJ. Bowles, Richard
Bowles, and others. Referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary.
The Senate resumed consideration Of the
bill to authorize the Secretary Of the Trea.
sury to pay over to the Governor Of Ken
tucky 81, 100000 of the appropriation of
81 100000 made 10th of January, 1862, to be

had been sent back. by tn. Preside1t with
his objections, and came mp a. thsspecid
order. The objections of the President
were: That the act Of which this bln was
amendatory was designed to provide for
troops raised for the Confederate service
anterior to their being mustered into such
service, and before they could be supplied
by the regularly constituted officers OF the
Coufederacy. The bill in question devoted
one half Of the appropriation thus made to
the use aud benefit Of Kentucky troops now
in the service, aud directed its expenditure
bv agents other than the bonded ofilcers
charged with supplying clothing to the
whole army. Tliis method Of providing for
the troops OF ole State was Objectionable,
because IL would put into the same market
two sets of agents to perform tho same
duty, who would bssome bidders against one
another. To recognise the implication Of
this bill, that extra snpplies of clothing
ought to be paid for BY the confedsrate
Government, would lay the foundation for
largo claims hereafter BY tho States for 70.
fmbursemsnt on account Of clothing fur
uishsd By them to their respective troops-
Trooas nom soma other States were simi-
larry situated with those from Kentucky.
Messrs Simms, Burnett, and Wigfaii spoke
