array, their ports open, guns thrown out, and
strong rope nettings before tber bows, to

paid to the weak points developed by the as

New YORK, Feb. II


! The Richmond papers of the 9Th inst. con-
, tain dispatch from Gen. Lee giving very
briefly the details OF the fgh. last Sunday
and Monday. He states that his loss was
small and regards our own as about the same.
Gen. Pegram of South Carolina, the dispatch
adds, was killed in the action of Monday.
His dispatch is surprisingly doleiul. He
admits that his forces we're driven in confu-
division our troops in turn were driven to
, Hatcher's run.
Daring the discussion in the rebel Senate
on Monday, it was stated by the friends Of
Davis that Gen. Joe Johnston would not be
, restored to command. The rebel House a.
mendment restricting the conscription of ne
groes was adopted
The Tribune Headquarters Army of the
Po' mac dispatch Of the 7th says Among
the wounded OF the 5th corps are Gen. Ayres
, in shoulder severely Gen. Gwyn, slightly
| in foot. 1t is reported to-day that we have
500 prisoners. More entrenching tools, and
it is determined to hold the FIVE miles gain of
ground. This gain brings us to the Boyd
/ town plank road, within easy artillery range
I of the south side railroad. Thus, Lee has
egain been outgeneraled.
Wednesday, 8, Il. M.----The new position
five miles in advance is being strongly forti-
fed and will be held at all hazards. This is
magnificent gain for ms and corresponding
loss to the rebels. 1t is developed that Lee
had sent several divisions against Gen, Sher
man, thus materially weakening his line here.
! Our line will soon flop on the south side rail-
road.
The Herald's New Orleans correspondent
says supplies have been forwarded to our
prisoners in Texas and it is believed that they
will get them.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 7.--Both houses of the

The Senate entered the Representatives
hall at one o'clock and took their seats on
the right of the Speakers platform. Vice
President Hsmlin took the chair with Speak
er Colfax at his left hand snd the Clerks desk
was occupied by Senator Trumbull and Rep
resentatiyes Wilson and Dawson, the tellers.
Mr.. Hamlin then took the envelope contain
ing the vote Of Maine, and after declaring
what state it was from, handed it to the tel.
lers. They opened the envelope, examined
the contents, and Senator Tfumbull declared
the enclosed vote for President and for Vice
President. State after state was thus called
and its vote examined and declared without
any demonstration from the vast assemblage
except subdued laugh when the choice Of
New Jersey was declared, accompanied by a
general gaze at Pendleton, who took it very
calmly At last came West Virginia and
then Nevada, about the vote of which Mr
Hamlin made an explanation. Mr. Cowsn
then asked il there were any other returns :
Mr. Hamln said that be had votes from Ark.
ansss, Louisiana and Tennessee, but that
they could not be counted, in accordance with
decision Of Congress.
Mr. Hamlin ruled out the request OF Sem
ator Cowan and Representative Yeaman that
the votes Of Louisiana, Arkansas and Ten
nessee should be counted. Neither would
he entertain proposition from Representa-
tive Pruyn to exclude the vote Of West Vir-
ginia.
Senator Trumbull reported the vote, and
Vice President Hsmin then announded that
23S votes had been cast, Of which Abraham
Lincoln had received 2l2 for President, and
Geo. B. Mcclellan had received 2 for Pres
ident Andrew Johnson 2l2 for Vice Pres
iden, and Geo. II. Pendleton 81 for Vice
President. Wherefore, said he. do declare
that Abraham Lincoln having received ma
jority oil the electoral votes, is duly elected
President of the United States for four years
from the fourth of March, 1865, and Andrew
johnson having received majority Of the
electoral votes is duly elected Vice President
Of the United States for four years, from the
fourth Of March 1865 Applause follow.)
The Senate retired, and each house il a
gain in session having occupied exactly one
hour in this final act in the tw ,nteth Pres

u The counting Of the votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President, in the Capitol, Feb.
8, must have brought to the minds of those
who participated in the event the counting Of
four years ago Then there were vague ru-
mors that the Southern conspirators would
prevent the vote from being officially declared,
many members we're armed, and much excite
ment was manifested in the result on all sides.
1t passed off, however, in perfect quiet. 1t ia
now thirty-two years since the votes re-elect-
ing President have been counted. That is
one link connecting Andrew Jackson with
! Abraham Lincoln, but it is not the only one.
! Both will be said by history to have dealt
with traitors, and if the demands on the lat
ter were Immensely gre tter, he will be con-
ceded to have shown equal patriotism, firm
, ness and success.

FROM WASHING TON.

| In Senate, Feb. G, Mr. Sumner Of Mass
offered joint resolution proposing an a
mendment to the Constitution as follows -
Representatives TO Congress shsll be ap
portoned among the several states which may
be included within this Union, according tc
the number Of male citizens of age having ir
each state the qualifications requisite for e.
/ lectors for the most numerous branch Of the
state legislature. The actual enumeration oi
such citizens shall be made by the census oi
the United States" Referred to the judici-
ary committee.
In debate in the House Of Representa-.
tiyes yesterday, it was stated that the Ameri-
can Watch Company at Waltham msnufao-
tures watches at the rate of one every four
minutes Of working day.
A Message was received in the House on
Friday from he President relative to the
Peace Conference. He says Mr.. Blair, al
though going to Richmond with his consent,
had no authority to speak or act for the Gov
eminent.
Mr.. DAVIS wrote letter through hi1, ex-
pressing his readiness to send or receive COM
missioners. Mr.. Lincoln subsequently, ex-
pressed himself to :he effect that he was
willing to receive gentlemen informally ap-
pointed with view to secure peace on basis
Of one common country.
The particulars are given as TO how the
conference was brought about. Particular
instructions were given as to how the rebel
commissioners should pass through our lines,
promising them safe conduct and protection.
They were explicitly told it was an informal
conference on the basis already mentioned.
The commissioners wrote letter saying
that they wished to confer on the subject Of
the existing war aud on what terms It is to
be terminated.
Supposing the proper point had been reach
ed, the President dispatched Secretary Seward
to meet the Commissioners, with instructions
to confer on the basis Of a restoration OF the
national authority-no receding by the Ex-
ecutive on the slavery question-no cessation
Of hostlities short Of the end Of the war aud
the disbanding Of the rebel force
Mr. Seward was further instructed that he
was not to conclude any arrangement.
The President in the meanwhile sent an
order to Gen Grant to delay military opera
tOns
Mr. Seward communicated with the Presi-
dent, and the latter went down on represent
alton of Gen. Grant, having previously re-
ceved dispatch stating that the Commits
sioners had accepted the proposed terms on
which the conference was TO take place.
The Commissioners said in a note their
earliest desire was just and honorable peace,
and we're ready to submit or receive PROPOSE
tions for that purpose. In accepting pass
ports they were not to be understood as ad-
mitting anything apart from the object OF
their mission. No papers we've exchanged
at the conference, which ended without re-
suit.

to be true, bu, what the question was, or
