ONO LEGIsLATURE.-A resolution to
adjourn sine die on Thursday, 18th of
April, has passed both branches of this
body, and it may therefore be safely con-
cluded that the session will terminate at
that time. Most of the important meas
ures introduced are still pending; but as
it is usual for business to be rushed the
last week of the session, it is probable
most Of them will be finally acted upon
before the adjournment. Among the
acts recently passed is one to punish per-
sons liable to military duty who leave
their place of residence for the purpose
of avoiding such responsibility. The
bill to establish home for disabled sol
diers, and the purchase of the Ohio
White Sulphur Springs property for that
purpose, was so amended by the House
as to virtually defeat it. by being loaded
down with impraoticable provisions. A
proposition to pay members of the Legis-
lature salary of $3.50 per annum in lieu
of the present per diem compensation,
was defeated in the House Wednesday
morning.

Overpowering the garrison, took posses

Afterwards determined attack. was
made on Fort Haskell, WHICH was r'o%iE
cd Dy part Of MeLaughEn's brigade,
Wilcox 5 division, and was repulsed with
great loss to the enemy.
The 1st brigade of HartsuHs s division,
held in reserve, was brought up, and
check given to any further advance.
Two attempts were made to retake the
hill, but were only temporarily successful,
until the arrival of the I'd brigade, when
o charge was made by the brigade, aided
by the troops of the 1st division, on their
flank, and the enemy were driven out OF

The enemy lost heavily outside OF our

otherwise was not heavy. Great praise
is due to Gen. Hartsuff for the gallantry
displayed in handling his division, which
behaved with great skill in this. its first

THE DECLINE IN PRICES.

The New York Post, of Saturday eve
ming says: ''The wholesale market has
been much excited during the past week
owing to the fluctuations in gold. The
most important decline has been in mess
pork and cotton. Mess pork is selling at
$50 50-a decline of 81 % a barrel during
the week. Cotton has declined II and Il
cents pound, closing at 80 and 50 cents.
Wool has declined from to 10 cents a
pound. Petroleum has declined cents a
gallon for crude, and II cents for refined.
Butter has declined s and 10 cents a
pound, with large arrivals. Wheat has
declined 20 to 30 cents bushel, and is
quite unsettled. Flour is also 25 to 40
cents lower and inactive. New corn has
further declined 15 to II cents per bushel,
but is firm at the close"
Of the weeks trade in domestic goods,
it is said large lots have been sold during
the week at a decline of 10 and Is per cent.
from the current rate among jObbers.-
The losses of the jobbers have been very
heavy. Some have already lost portion
of what they gained during the process of
advance, and certain Of the weaker houses
have had to ask an extension of their ma
turing obligations, which have been grant
ed with hberality by the commission
agents.
Prices at first hands have not yet come
down to the basis of cotton at 20 cents per
pound, and gold at 55 cents premium
Jobbers see this, and will refuse to buy
any important amount of goods until such
is the condition of values. Manufacturers
have reduced their production to a very
narrow limit, and the supply of goods is
likely to be kept as low for several weeks,
although the supply of cotton may be
much larger.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, of Saturday,
says: There is quite an agreeable decline
in the price of domestic markets this week.
The markets were we'll supplied this morn
ing. Eggs, sold at % cents per dozen !;
chickens, % cents per pound butter from
80 to go cents per pound roast beef, 2j to

The Second and Sixth Corps pushed

entertainments and turned its guns
against him, and still hold it. In trying
to re-take this, the battle was continued
until s o'clock at night, the enemy loos-
ing very heavily.
