CONGRESSIONAL,
sENATE,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson the Senate
took up the bill to provide for the promo
ton Of enlistment of volunteers.
Dir. Grimes, of Iowa, wished the bill
postponed, as it did not provide for boun-
ties to colored troops. The bill was post
poned until tomorrow.
trhe resolution of Mr.. Davis, calling upon
the President for all correspondence be-
tween the United States and the rebel
authorities, was taken, and upon motion
postponed.
Mr.. Sumner moved to postpone the prior
orders and take up unfinished business of
yesterday, which was agreed to.
AE. johnson, Nd, proceeded to address
the Senate at length on the rule requiring
Senators to take particular oaths.
The report of the Agricultural Commits.
sion adverse to tax or 20 per cent on leaf
tobacco, was referred to the finance com.
mittee
Mr.. johnson, of Nd, spoke on the
question of the adoption of the new oath
as rule of the Senate, opposing it as I'M
constitutional, and in the course of his
remarks he said the people of the South
when the military power of the rebellion
was destroyed. would again come into the
ULion under the Presidents amnesty pro.
tclamation &c.
Ho opposed placing the negro on pc.
litioal equality, as greater evil to the
slave than to the master and political
degradation of tue whites, unnecessary TO
the crushing of the rebellion. The day
was fast approaching, if the power of the
government was exerted as it ought to be
wheRIhe military power of the rebellion
would be crushed and the people of the
south, would have in heart as we'll as
in deed the blessings ola restoredIU
Mr.. Howard favored the adoption of the
oath arguing that without the fidelity re-
quired by this oath the Constitution be-
camo dead letter.
The amendment of Mr.. Powell was re-
jected-Yeas IL, nays &c.
Adjourned till Monday.
HOUSE.
a new standing committee on uniform
system of coinage, weights and measures,
was ordered to be'appointed.
The House then resumed the considerA.
ton bill. : -
Mr. Morris, of New York, spoke in favor
of the coniscation of estates Of rebels no |
inaugurated and are responsible for all the
ills of the rebellion.
Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, opposed the |
pending resolution, oonteuding that estates
could not be forfeited beyond the lifetime
of the offender, and the measure now pro-
posed was clearly against the Ooustitu.
ton.
Without taking the question on the con.
fscation bill the House went into com.

of she death Of Harvey H. Filler, which
took place on the 18th uIt,, 10 one of the

was about twenty-three years of age, aud
was member of the cavalry company re.
cruited by Capt. A. J. Barr, for the lst W.
v. Cavalry, which went into the service
10 the fall of 1862. He was captured near
MOOrefsld, W. ", in September, and taken
to Richmond as prisoner where he was
kept till the time of his death. Shortly
before he died he wrote a letter to his uncle
Henry Filler, in Washington county, Pa, in
which he expressed the hope that be would
recover, but he died before the letter was
sent north, and accordingly postscript
in different hand, conveyed to his friends
the sad intelligence that he was no more.

The ChickahOnniny.

The great struggle for the possession of
Richmond will probably take place in the
neighborhood of the Chickahominy, and to
understand the nature of the country exactly
will prove of advantage to the reader of the
news. An exchange says:
The stream itself is peculiarly adapted to the
defensive warfare The river is o small one,
and flows sluggishly. 1t divides itself into a
half dozen streamlets, running into and out of
each other at random. These water courses
occupy space about seventy yards in width.
Immense trees grow up out of water, and the
entire stream is covered by thick woods. It
is remarkable instance of river running
through and watering long strip of woods.
From each side of this woodland fiat sur.
face extends for about half mile. This is
nearly always overdowed, and becomes an
impossible morass. It is only when the
water in the river is very low that men can
safely walk upon the ground bordering it.
On these fiat surfaces there is not a solitary
tree. They are BARE and anything moving
upon them can easily be discerned. From the
borders of these plains huge hills, in some
cases two and three hundred feet high, aprupt-
ly rise They are covered with woods, and
are so steep that wagons cannot be hauled di.
rectly up their face. The few roads go down
them diagonally to the bridges across the
swamp and river. From the tops of the hills
on the one side, across the swamp to the hill
tops on the other side, the distance varies from
a mile to mile and half. The ordinary 12-
FOUNDER ri6ed Napoleon gun can just about
throw shell from one hilltop to the other.
From the Fredericksburg Railroad crossing
down 10 New Bridge, distance of eight miles,
the Confederate works are all along the hills
on its southern side
