of the resolution. He denounced tho
power Of summary Dismissal vested in
the President as mischievous power,
for if an officer could be dismissed with
out trial on representations Of his supe-
riors, the only effect would be to make
him a coward and toady. This law
had. been repealed by the House at its
last session, but had not been acted on
by the Senate. According to military
law, an officer must be discharged within
eight days Of his arrest, or have q copy
of the charges against him put in his
hands. AS to the. prisoners, one, a ma
jor, says he has been confined for five
months, and has tried in vain to learn
the charges against him. lie did not
say the War Department is responsible
for these abuses, or even knew of them.
They might be traced to its subordi-
mates.
The motion to reconsider the vote by
which the resolution was passed was laid

in the negative.

FROM GRANTS ARMY.

FROM GRANTS ARMY.
A telegram from Grants army, dated
the 10th, says:
A number of dcserters came into our
lines from in front of Petersburg last
night. They bring important news, if it
is to be relied on. They say that the
Danville railroad, between Danvillc and
Greensboro, q distance Of forty-fiyc
miles, has been destroyed by recent
heavy rains, and that every culvert and
bridge has been carried away, and that
Lees army is likely to be out of rations
altogether very soon. The quantity they
issue now is utterly inadequate, they
say, to satisfy. their wants, and these
men were not disposed to remain and
suffer almost starvation. Every effort
was being made to reconstruct the road,
and large gangs Of men are detailed for
that purpose; but even then it will take
some time to repair it, the destruction
being so extensive. AS this is their main
road by which they get supplies to Rich
mond, it would not be strange if the state
Of affairs in this ncighborhood would
undergo an important change in q few
days.
The ehcmy made a demonstration
with small force on our rear line, on
WAITS farm, near the extreme left, this
afternoon, and for short time it was
thought fight was coming off. A part
of the Second corps were put under
arms, but the rebels remained in sight
only short time, evidently having come
to that partiealar place after some forage,
which it is believed they carried off: No
firing took place, as they did not come
within range of our pickets.
Colonel Sharpe, 50 long connected
with this army in the capacity Of deputy
proyost-mafshal>gcncral, and lately act
Ing as deputy Observation-Disclosures of
the armies operating against Richmond,
has been promoted to brigadicr- general.
