EVENING SESSION.

Vice President Quinby in the chair.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Waldron, the As
ISOLATION listened to the interesting lecture of
Mr.. Ray, for which vote of hearty thanks
was passed, then proceeded to the discussion
OF the following resolutions, viz:
1.-Resoloed-Tha Christianity is the only
basis OF true reform.
2-ReSolued-That "eternal vigilance is the
price OF liberty" from whatever bondage.
3.-Resolped-That,-l like a sound law on
the statute book, not enforced, so is public
sentiment without application.
+ 4-ResolUed--Tha renewed efforts are ur-
gently demanded to counterfeit the pernicious
influence OF army life on the habits OF the SOL
diers.
After spending something more than an
hour and half in lively and interesting dis
cussons, in which Messrs. Waldron, King
man, Beale, Quinby, DIR. Sturgis and others
participated, the resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted.
The exercises of the evening were inter-
spersed with excellent and appropriate music
by few singers who had it in their heart to
do good thing by contributing essentially to
the interest of the evening.
The ,nniavorable state of the weather pre-
vented large attendance. Still the attend
aace was quite as large as could be expected.
and the meetings passed off pleasantly, and,
we trust, not without some profit.

Mai. Gen. Heron in his report of the re-
cent investigation at Little Rock, in the De-
partment Of Arkansas, transmitted to the
Senate to-day, indicates his belief in the ex-
istence of corruption and speculation, but
cXhoneratcs Gen. Steele from all blame. ex-
ceptinga too implicit confidence in the in
tegrity of his staff He seems to regard the
Provost Marshal General, It, Col Chandler
Of the eth Missouri cavalry MS the principal
offender Fines, licenses, brides for release
from imprisonment. and proceeds of cotton
are the suspected sources of cmOlument Of
which the evidences are not very direct. His
dismissal is advised, and Col 7. H. Benton
Of the 2Sth Iowa Infantry recommended in
his stead.
Gen. Heron also recommends the reno.
val Of Col. B. .. Carr, Chief q. NJ. and ap-
pointmcnt Of a more energetic man. II is
further rated that the District of Little Rock
is controlled by combination known as
Mcdonald y Co., contractors for supplying
Indian stations, with unlimited license from
the Treasury Department. by which they
bring in Immense stocks of goods relieved
from per cent tax. One partner is Chief
Clerk in the Q. NJ. Department, and is a
brother ola Rebel, Col Henry Mckee, who
conducts the trading store at Fort Gibson
for the firm Of Mcdonald 4 Seymour at Fl
Smith. The partners are represented as
shrcwd and sharp men, with plenty of mon
ey, and is combination which swallows ev
cry thing.
The officer who cannot be bought into
their interest must make way for some one
who can. Only two or three officers dare
oppose them. There have, he says, been
brought into that section 45OO,OOO worth of
goods ostcnsibly for the Indians. Int TO be
sold beyond our lines. II is impossible that
One-tenth can be sold within the lines The
other similar cases are mentioned in Gen.
Herr0n's communication.

NEW York, Feb 16.
The destruction of the town of Gilleson-
vile, s. c. was done in retaliation for the
murder Of colored Union soldier, formerly
q slave.
The Heralrs New Orleans correspondent
says Five thousand six and eight mule
teams are engaged hauling cotton from the
they return with supplies received across the
river from Matamoras, consisting in part of
war implements from England and medical
and other stores from Northern cities.
Kirby Smith, 1t appears, dev0tes more at
tention to cotton speculations than he does
to military matters II pays better.
According to the Richmond Wing there are
tories in Alabama. A party recently made
q raid on the town Of Jasper and burned the
Court House, Jail and several dwellings.
The mansion in which John G. Calhoun
was born and lived till near the time of his
death, at Braddock's Point. q. c., recently
accidently took fire and burned to the

Towards corps, in its advance, was obliged
to press Its way through 40 miles of swamps
Of the most dismal character against Hartlee $
army which they constantly pressed back
BY vigorous charges These charges the
"chivalry" could not stand, consequently
the losses on either side were small. The
whole country was found dcropulated, cx-
ccpting old helpless negroes who were on
the verge of starvation The first stand
made by the rebels was on the Salka,atchie
river, on the opposite side Of which they
showed themselves in force. Aided by
flank movement our troops, with fixed bayo-
nets, charged across the stream, 5 feet deep, in
the face Of heavy fire and wrested the po-
sitiOn from the rebels, who fed in disorder
towards Branchville, leaving their guns un-
spiked. We lost $50 killed and wounded,
