WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - Senate. 49, aIr.
Wade ! notice that the Secretary Of War
in replying 10 the communication Of the
Senate about the employment Of Generals,
has madea mistake, which wish to cor
rect. lie says, among other things, that
Generals Banks and Lee are before the
committee on the conduct Of the war. This
is e mistake, and ore which I wish 10 reply
to, because it seems 70 be q standing one. I
think it interferes with the disposition
which the Executive wishes 10 make CT
these officers.
Mr.. Wade stated that on the 14th Of
December, General Banks was before the
COMMITTEES about two hours, to give testi-
mony concerning the Red River expedi-
ton. 0ne day in January the committee
found him in the city aud called OF him
for few minutes 10 explain some mat
ters. Gen. Lee nal not been before the
committee since the 18th Of January. he
(Wsde) wished it TO 30 understood that
neither Banks nor Lee were ever detained
here by the committee on the conduct Of
the war.
Mr.. Sumner offered the following
RESOLVED, That the President ofthe Unit
ed States, DC required, if not incompatible
with the public interest, to furnish to the
Senate any information in ais possession
concerning any recent personal commUEi-
cation with the rebel JEFF Davis, sSid %
have been under executive sapcuJn, and

thsrsto.

The bill to build bridge across tie OHIO
at louisville. Motion disagreed 70.
Mr. Hale then moved that Shs senate |

motion for the appointment Of q standing |
committee on the COrruptiOns Of the Dc |.
Partments.
Mr.. Doolittle suggested that as the ami !
madvsrsion Of the Senator from New Hamp- |
hire on the Navy Department we're likely I
to lead to protracted discussion, it would be
we'll to make this the special order for soma |
future day, as there was very little time il
the morning hours.
Mr.. Hale said he would insist OF the /
motion.
Mr.. Henderson desired to take up the
bill of the Senator Of Missouri for expendi-
lures in calling out the militia of that
State.
The Senate refused to take up this bill, /
and proceeded to take up the resolution Of
Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Hale said he was opposed to appoint |
ing any more commissioners 10 investigate !
until some action was taken on frauds al
ready discovered. He made coPious ez-
tracts from the report Of Hon. john sher-
man, to show that great trouble and ex-
pense had been incurred to discover frauds,
yet none of the guilty parties had been
punished.
His hour having expired, tbs Chair de-
cided that the resolution on Retaliation was
next in order.
