HOUSE.—A long discussiou was had on the resolution introduced by Mr. Kelso, of Missouri, declaring the impeachment and removal of the President to be the imperative duty of Congress. The morning hour for such discussions having expired before a vote was had, the resolution went over. During the debate, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, one of the Judiciary Committee (charged with Ashrey's impeachment resolution) Raid nothing done in the Committee on the subject would be known outside of it, until reported to the llouse. A bill was iutroduccd by Mr. Kassou, of Iowa, making it a crimiual offense for any judge to scu'tenco any criminal to receive corporeal punishment, or for any shcrifi' or otljcr officer to execute such sentence. Mr. Stevens' reconstructing bill was takeu up. Mr. Julian, of Indiana, censured Providence for not having provided "an orthodox hell" for rebels.

It appropriates thirtythree millions, two hundred, and eighty thousand dollars for the payment of pensions for the year ending June 30, 18G8. A proposition to pay Mr. Harvey, Uuited States Minister to Portugal, gave rise to much discussion. The Radicals opposed, because Mr. Harvey had written a letter to Mr. Seward not very complimentary to Congress. A proposition was also discussed to stop the pay of Mr. King, United States Minister at Home, because lie did uot resent the alleged order of the Pope forbidding Protestant churches within the walls of the city.

A bill prohibiting Territorial officers leaving their posts or receiving leave of absence for more than thirty days at a time was passed. The tariff Bill was then discussed uutil adjournment.

Mr. Thad.

The vote on it was, yeas 27, uays 10, two Democrats voting atnoug the yeas—Johnson of Maryland and McDougal of California. The following named ltepubli- quautities. The ^"pounder wns got into

safety, to do so, were immediately got ready. Meanwhile, Indians appeared on the hills across the Pine-y Fork, about a mile distant, although scattered in small

positiou to give thcui a shell or two, aud Col. Fetterman's party Btarted out the uorth west gate. The Indians had begun to 'light out' from among the bushes alon* the banks of Piuey Fork, as a shell or two went over their heads, in the direction of their comrades on the hills. The firing by this time had ceased in the direction of the wood train, nnd Col. Fetterman had gone down iuto the valley of the Piney Fork (which runs only about four hundred yards froini the north cornor of the stoekude), to where the Indiaus were getting out of the bushes, and who had not been seen till one or two shells from the 12 pounder had begun to make them think it was not exaotjy safe around there they had evidently been lying iu ambush there since sometime before daylight. There were, I should judge, about one huudred aud fifty in number, aud they were riiuniug up ravines and from one placo to another, to keop out of sight. When Col. Fettermau ^ot down into the valley, he threw out a skirmish line as he advanced toward the creek.' Tho Iudians were relocating in a northerly jlirectiou toward Peno Creek Valley, wiierd' Libiit'. Binghhiii rtn'd Sergeant Bowers were killed ,ou the 0th. A small party of.men,.joined..Col. Fetterman's party in: the Piney Fork bottom, consisting of about three soldiers and three or four citizens, who went out op their own hook. "Col.. Fetterman's party kept on, and finally disappeared over the hill toward the Peno Greek, Valley, aft^,shortly after, heavy firing,was heard in.that direction It was.by, this time, niost 11 o'clock'A

tom of the valley, for they knew, it' would be folly, for they would be immediately surrounded by the Indians if they shdtild. They continued along the edge of tho valley until they got to a point opposite to where the apparcut cottonwood trees were lying, aud Captain Ten Eyck scut twenty men to go down aud examine tho scattered rubbish, and lo! and behold, they were the dead bodies of Col. Fetterluan and party, aud not one was found to have the least particle of, life loft. When Captain Ten Eyck left the post an ambulance and three army wagons, with liay in the bottom to bring in the wounded and take out 3,000 rouuds of ammunition, was sent out djrcctly after Captain Ten Eyck's.party had lu£t._

After it had been discovered that none of Colonel Fetterman's party were left to tell the tale, the wagons and ambulance were driven down and all of the men, except a very few that,was left on1 a high point to keep a lookdut, went ddwn to load up tho bodies. The1 Indians had retreated "S'ofcn the valley and did not seem over anxious to renew the combat, but very slowly kept falling back, loading about twenty^five dead' on the •field, being unftblo to bring them 'in, but re-, turned the next day 22d inst.,and brought iu the vcmaiflder.'-'Thc •fendies were strip-, ped perfectly nuked and horribly1 mutila-' ted, some had^the top of their sktillk but off and their brains taken out, others-with their1arms out of their sockets, and wore mutilated in every shape and wayniniaginable, and I had-arrows in considerable quantities stabbed iu their bodies..!
