Maria Louisa Under was tried be-
fore a military court at Norfolk, Va,
on the 9th ult., and sentenced to pay
a fine of five hundred dollars, and I'M
dergo two years Imprisonment at hard
work, for having aided paramour,
with whom she had lived as wife, to
desert, and caused his death in the at.
tempt to smuggle him from Norfolk to
Chicago. According to her own story
she was urged to the act by John
Freedom, the deserter and victim (;
and at his request procured a large
trunk into which Freedom squeezed
himself, to be transported with the wo-
man, as her baggage, to Chicago. A
pipe stem was inserted under one of
the straps to afford fresh air to Free
born, and canteen of water and a
piece of tobacco were to supply his
wants. On arrival at Fortress Mon.
roe the signal of the woman outside
was answered by the imprisoned deser.
ter that all was right but on reaching
the hotel at Baltimore, and opening
the trunk she found her companion a
corpse. After wandering about in Bal
timore for two days, nearly crazy, the
woman confessed her crime and gave
herself up for trial

Rebel Exhaustion.

The route and dispersion of Hoods
army and the position of Sherman, af
ter his triumphant march through
Georgia, have left jeff. Davis without
the power to enforce his laws and de-
crees beyond the Savannah river. Ii
will be henceforth wholly discretiona.
ry with the people, or of the State au-
thorities west of that stream, whether
they submit to CONSUMPTION, to drafts,
and to taxation and if we reflect up
on the difficulties which attended the
execution of Confederate mandates
when the rebels were in undisturbed
possession of the country, we may
safely conclude that he can no longer
recruit, or replenish his commissariat,
except in Virginia and the Carolinas.
In a word, the "Confederacy" has
been reduced to one-fourth its original
and this fourth has become
thoroughly exhausted. A man must
be moonstruck who can any longer
apprehend or hope for the success Of
the rebellion. 1t is breathing its last.
and there is but little probability that
It can hold out till midsummer.

The Smithsonian Institute, at Wash.
ington, was partially destroyed by fire,
on the Gath ult. The loss is heavy
but cannot as yet be stated with any
degree of accuracy. The loss of spe-
cimens of natural history, scientific
works, paintings, ETC., by this confa-
grafton, is a national calamity.
In the Senate, on the Gath the sub
ject of retaliation upon rebel prison
ers was discussed at length, no con-
clusion being reached. A bill was in
troduced amendatory to the conscrip-
ton law, in several important particu-
lars. In the House the time was occu-
pied in the consideration of the Brooks
Butler question of privilege, which
was finally withdrawn.
On the 25th, the Judiciary Commit
tee reported substitute for the House
bankrupt bill. The resolution advis-
ing retaliation on rebel prisoners was
discussed. In the House, the Commit
tee on Commerce was instructed to in
quire into the subject of trade with the
rebellious States.
The Bankrupt bill, reported to the
Senate by the Judiciary Committee,
contains several amendments, but the
House bill is not essentially changed.
1t is understood that Mr. Jencks, who
drafted the bill passed by the House,
assents to the Senate amendments.
The Committee on the Conduct of
the War have completed the investi-
cation of Gen. Buffers conduct in the
first attack on Wilmington.
On the 9th in the Senate, resolu-
ton was offered, and ordered printed,
calling upon the President to issue a
proclamation declaring Arkansas to
be no longer in instruction. A bill
was introduced to authorize the con-
of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road system eastward, by Ontonagon,
Mich. The House was occupied in
the consideration of private bills.
The House set apart January 28th
especially for the consideration of the
anti-slavery constitutional amendment,
it being the intention to take vote
on it on Tuesday.
On motion Of Mr.. Rice, of Maine,
the Committee on Public Buildings
was instructed to inquire into the orr
gin of the Smithsonian Institute FIRE,
and what measures are necessary TO
preserve it from further injury.
A despatch from the Smithsonian In
stitute to the Chicago Academy of Sci
ences states that comparatively little
was lost of the Natural History collec-
tions and that the manuscripts were
saved.

From Fort Fisher.

The navy has made q magnificent
haul. On Wednesday night the 18th,
three blockade runners were captured
off Cape Fear Inlet, by our feet, and
another one next night. Two of the
steamers were brought in and an.
chored under the guns of the navy,
opposite battery Buchanan. They are
iron steamers of the largest and swift
est class of blockade runners, very low
and sharp with low houses forward
and aft, scarcely higher than the rail.
Like the rest they are painted light
lead color, or light blue. They have
each two raking smoke pipes painted
white and set fore and aft low pad
die boxes with wheels of small diane
ter, but making up in power by the
patent feathering floats. They are
deeply loaded.
Examinations thus far made show
that the rebels have constructed a
breastwork nearly from the ocean to
the river above our lines, and are evil
IDENTIFY preparing, as best they can, to
contest our advance.
Wilmington is not yet ours, and yet
the darkest side of the aspect is turn
ed toward the rebels, who cannot be
assured that it will much longer be
theirs. Our gunboats are steadily
finding their way up the river, remov-
ing distractions and torpedoes. Mean
while Gen. Terry has pressed his
troops to a position of advantage,
where he demanded of Bragg the sur
render of the place. 1t will be in our
hands in a very few days, and open
the way for train of most important
results to our cause in North Carolina.
Large numbers of runaway slaves
are constantly coming into the Union
lines in North Carolina for the purpose
of enlisting in the army.
A Raleigh paper reports that Terry
had arrived within eight miles Of Will
mington, and had demanded of Bragg
the surrender of the city, giving the
latter until the 10Th instant to decide
upon the matter. The removal of all
the public property was going on as
fast as possible, and we doubt not but
that every preparation was making to
fall back. They say that all is confu-
sion at Wilmington. The general i'm
preston was that the place would 60,
and that most of the people would re-
main.
The Anglo blockade runners have
been infor.nSa Of tho fall of
Fort Fisher, the Owl having run in
and made her escape out again the
night before the evacuation of Fort
Campbell. .a..E
