Mr. Drown moved to amend by inserting Loyal Leaguers or members of any other treasonable organization. Mr. Duuharn moved iu amendment that in the order in the bill to print. The Indiana State Sentinel also be included. Ha thought the time was now to let by gones be by gones. Now was the time, and be hoped he might say it witwjut of fense, to cease what miht be called vindictive legislation. For himelf, he had set himself every where against secret political societies. He, on the stump as a political speaker, had denounced them. He had denounced the Son of Lib erty; likewise he had denounced the association of Loyal Leaguers Hundreds of honest men had gone into the Sns of Liberty who would not have done so had they not seen their neighbors in i union Loyal League lodge across the street. And these honest men had been held to answer. Mr. Dunham continued relative to matters pertaining to The Sentinel, its editor.the Sons of Liberty, kc. He said that as soon as Mr. Ding htra heard of these illegal or disloyal proceeding! he called together the prominent men of the democratic party, to put a top to them. Gov ernor Morton kuew of these matters in advance of Mr Dingham, but there is no evidence that he did anything to prevent their consummation; but otherwise, the testimony before the commission shows that the government authorities, or those actipg under them, were usiDg their influence to induce honest citizens to join what is termed dis loyal organizations. Mr. Newcomb What evidence is there that the authorities inveigled men luto these disloyal societies ? Mr. Coffroth The evidence of Stiger before the late military commission. Mr. Kilgore The gentleman isdefendng Mr. Ringham. Was he uot chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, and did he not, as chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, advise the arming of the democratic party. Mr. Dunham 1 do not recollect the purport of the address, but I believe there wassome hngupe to that effect, but the recommendation to the people was to defend themselves against unconstitutional and illegal interference with their right and privileges. And was there not reason for it, when in every place democrats saw recent organizations, which are called Loyal Leagues, or some other name, organized, a part of whose creed was that every member should be provided with arms and ammunition! Mr. Kilcore I pronounce that assertion untrue and false. Mr Dunham, hurling a missile at Kilgore There, take that. "Order! orJet! order, gentleuaea!" resounded j from all parts of the house. Mr. Speaker The remarks of the gentl?mn from Delaware (Mr. Kilgore) are clearly out of order and unbecoming. He will take his seat. The gcritleniau from Floyd is entitled to the tl.Kr. arid will proceed Mr Dunham continued. Gor Morton knew even before Mr Ringham knew, of erery Mep taken by thee alleged traitors and conspirators. Why did rot Gov. Morton promptly act in t'se resril? And this is not ail. With the knowl ed;e and approbation of Gov Morton ageuts were sent throughout the state in order to seduce ne;i into eoret organiz tiocs, that thereafter they mijht be .irrested as d;!oyaI ar.d punished This, Mr. Daiiham. of whoso remarks we pre tet d to give not even a synopsis, answered to an interrogttory f the gentleman from Marion, and then on rnotiou. wi'.hout definitely settling the pending uetion The House Jjo irned until 'J o'clock a m. to morrow.

(Signed) Mfcjor Gen. Tuiar. Ao acknowledgment that the gallant achieve ment was given in your came to Admiral Porter acd Uen. Terry, from whom the following particulars were obtained. The troops arrived off Fort Fisher Thursday iiibt. Oa Friday they all la nde-i under cover of fire from the squadron. A recounoisacce was uxaJe by Gen. Terry on Saturday. A strong defensive line against the army of the enemy's force coming from Wilmington, was established and held by 4 DO men, chiefly colore ! troopa. and an assault wad determined on. The assault waa made on Sunday afternoon. The tea front of the fort had been greatly damaged by the fire of the fleet for three day, and the front was assaulted at the time mentioned by a column of ecamen and marine, l.bOU strong, They reached the parapet, but after a short conflict thia column was driven back in disorder, and waa afterward placed on the defensive line. Theastult on the other and most difficult side of the fort was made by a column of 3,000 troops of the old 10th cbrp, under the supervision of Oen. Terry. The enemy's force in the fort was 2,200. The conflict lasted for eeven hours. The works were bo constructed that every traverse afforded the enemy new defensive positions. Admiral Porter contributed to the success of the assaulting column. By signals between himself and General Terry at brief intervals, this fire was so well managed that it damaged the enemy without injury to our own troops. About ten o'clock at niqht the enemy were driven from the fort entirely, and forced down towards Federal Toint, followed by a brigade of our troops and about 12 o'clock at night General Whiting surrendered himself and his command to General Terry, unconditionally, as prisoners of war, numbering over l,t00, the remainder of his force being killed and wounded. Our los was not accurately ascertained on MonJay.but is estimated at between 700 and f00 in killed acd wounded, besides the naval lo, which was s'ight, not exceeding 100 in killed and wounded. 2ol a ship nor a transport was lo-t. Col. Curtia was. severely but not mortally wounded; Col. Hell died of his wounds on Monday morning; Col. J. W. Moore and Lt. Cot. Lyman were killed. Col. Pcnnjbakcr was badly wounded, also Lt. Col. Cone. A complete list of the killed will be forwarded us soon as reported. Gen. Terry reported to Surgeon (Jen. Darues that he had ample provision of surgeons, nurses and hospital supplies for the wounded. They will be seut north to their respective states as soon as they can be placed on transports, of which there was ample supply. Ou Monday morning the magazine of Fort Fisher exploded killing and wounding 200 or 300 persons. After tho capture of tho fort all the troops were withdrawu except one brigade left in charge of the works. How the explosion-occurred was unknown, but General Terry believed it was occasioned by accident or neglect. Genera) Hoke's division, reported 5,000 strong, was at Wilmington. A portion of it wis thrown into the fort not long before the assault, and while that was going ou a demonstration was nude by Hoke against our defensive line, but it was found too strong for anything more than a skirmishing attack. Monday morning a heavy cloud of smoke was observed over Fort Smith, on the south side of New Inlet. The naval ofliocr commanding that station reported that the enemy had fired their barracks, and evacuated that work. Perfect harmony and concert of action existed betweeu the land and naval forces, and their respective commanders. Admiral Porter and Oeceral Terry tied in their commendation of each other. Each seemed more anxious to do justice to tbe other than to claim anything for himself, and they unite in the hiebest commeudation of the naval aud military o facers and forces engaged. To this hirmouy of feeling and confident spirit inspired, may perhaps be attributed in gome de gree the success of our attack. The armament of the fort wag 72 guns, some of large calibre and rifled, and one Armstrong gun. 1 he troops in the fott had rations for sixteen d;iys. Their lo-s in killed and wounded was be tween 400 and 500. Gen Whiting had three wounds in his thigh. Col. Limb, who hid gone into the fort to re lieveGen. Whiting is wounded. On Monday everything was quiet as a Sabbath day. The dead were being buried and the wounded placed in transports aud hospitals. Gen. Stiermm removed most of his fortes from Savannah last week. The 15th aud 17th corps went in transports to Ueaufort. On Saturday the 14th and 17th corps, under Msj. Gen. Ulwiir, crossed Port Koyal ferry and, with a portion of Gen. Foster's command, moved on Pocotilico Gen. Howard, commanding that wing of the army, reported on Sunday that the enemy abandoned his strong works in our front during Saturdnv night. Geo.

From the Arnar ! tbe Potomac. HtiicaiTixi Ami roioMAcj . January 16. (

Thia evening a Dumber of deserters came izb our licet In front of Petersburg, and brier im portant news, if it is to be relied on. Tbey lay that tbe DintiUe railroad betweca Danville and Greensboro, a distance of 45 miles. bas been cesiroyed by recent heavy rains, aLJ that every culvert and bride e hn been carried away, and that Lee army is litelv to be out of rations altogether very soou. The quantity they issue cow is utterly ir.adc quale to satisfy their wants, acd tkce meo were not duprmfd to remtiD and suffer almost et vi ration. Every effort is beir,g made to reconstruct tbe road, and large gaogs of men are detailed lor that purpose, but even at that it will take some time to repair lt. the destruction of the road is so extensive. This is the maia road by which they got their supplier through to Richmond. It would rot be strange if the state of alTi'rs in this neighborhood would undergo an important change within a few days. f rom Waahington. W AsuiNGTOx, January 13 The Richmond Sentinel ol the 16th ccntaios the following: The war quiet below Richmond has been unbroken lor several days.' with no prospect of a resumption of hostilities for sometime to come. A gentleman from the valley brttja the gratifying report that last week Gen. Rosser crossed the mountains and captured Beverlv, Randolph county, including it garrison of 700 men and a large amount of commissary and quartermaster stores, and a great number of horses Although uo uSicul report of this capture has been received, we luve strong reasons o believe it is correct. Reliable scouts just in from the interior and rear of Grant's lines, says The Petersburg Express of the 14'.b, reports complete inactivity on the part of the enemy, so far as any military movement is ooncernei. They are completely mudbound and are'awaiting the isue of movements elsewhere. Tbe Rockingham Tlegister states that Col. G. W. Incoben ot the 10th Ya. caralry, was (seri ously wounded in the recent demonstration on Gordonsvil !e. He is now in a fair way to rt cover. Irom L.ouiarllle. Louisville, January 18. Forty guerrillas under Pratt and McGregor, a consolidation of several bands, at 3 o'clock p m. yesterday made a dish into Bardstown, for the purpose of recov ering one of their men, John Robinson, confined in tbe jail ofthat place. Bardstown is garrisoned by a detachment of federal soldiers under Captain G. W. Nichols. Tbe guerrillas set the depot on fire and it was burned to the ground. The body of Mr. Sanberry was consumed with it. Tbe ruerrilks and federals had a heavy fight. Captain Pratt and Pat Bull were killed; Sue Munday and Marion were wounded, also several others Tbe guerrillas were routed, driven from town, and pursued two miles, whea darkness put a step to the proceedings. From flattiniore. Baltimore, January 18. The followicg is taken from thecortspondence of The Baltimore American, dated off Fort Fisher on the 16th in stant: The fight lasted sii hours, being a desperate band to hand struggle. Each of seventeen embrasures were taken in succession after a most fierce encounter, in which hecatombs of dead and wounded were added to those that already lined the fort. Suffice it to say by way of a preface to a de tailed account, that notwithstanding the fort bad strengthened and reinforced to treble the garrison it had when General Butler decided it could not betaken.it is now in our possession, with 74 caunon, 2,000 living prisoners and 70 dead, and our gunboats have to day sailed up the Cape Fear river, driving before them the pirate Chu kamauga and Tallahassee, tfl'ectuslly closing it to blockade runners, and stopping the only channel the rebels bad left for the importation ofmuui tion? of war. I'rom Kew York. New Yoek, January l?ih The Post's Wash ing special says it Is reported the finance bill in the House will be modified so as to favor a con traction of legal tenders. General Terry is nominated to a Major Gen eralship. The Commercial s ashmgton special says, much opposition is' manifested towards the new finance bill on account of the unlimited power given the secretary to increase legal tenders. Hi's power will be limited. 1 he Senate committee expect to receive to morrow important documents from the 1 resident relative to the extradition tresty. The Very Latest. THREE O'CLOCK A. M. New Yohk, January 1?. A Savannah paper says: The union scuti ment is increasiug in rousequence of the mild ness ot Oen. btierman s policy, and Gen. Gea ry's administration of affairs in the city. No restrictions are placed upon trade, except upon cotton, and articles which are contraband of war. Sherman's policy is having its effect. In southwestern Georgia nine counties have issued calls fr union meetiugs. Meetings wore held in Montgomery and Liberty counies. There are two daily papers published in Savannah, being all that General Sbcrrasn will allow. The papers of to day contain very little be sides news of tbe capture of Fort Fisher and edi torial comments upon it. 1 here is great rejoicing among the merchants at the close of the port of Wilmington and prob able capture of the pirates Tallahasseee and Chickamauga. Washington January 18. The Riehmond Sentinel eays Mr. Blair left Richmond Saturday morning on the flag of truce boat on his return to Washington. There are many rumors afloat as to the object of the visit, and as a matter of interest to our readers, but without vouching for the correct ness, we give the prevailing opinion. It is said that Mr. blair sought an interview ith the president for the purpose of securing certain captures documents; that in course of conversation Mr. Blair broached tbe subject of eace, but admitted that he had no authority to tiegotiate. . The answer of the president ts said to bave ecn that the confederate government was now, as ;t alwavs naa teen, reajy to receive properly authorized commissioners from the United tates government, or to send comm-ssioners to that government to negotiate a settlement of the difficulties existing. The Richmond Examiner of Monday says it is elieved that Blair returned to Citv Point on Saturday with the simple assurance that this govern ment has at all times been willing to send and re ceive commissioners to treat on terms of peace. It is said that upon this a':rancc Bliir expressed the hoe that the Ivncola uurption would accede to the appointment of such cora-nii-sioners, and that a confab on the subject of peice will probably take place ; but there will be no cessation ot hoitilite in the meantime The Examiner of Motday states that Mr. Singleton from Illinois, reached R'chmord on Sunday, and leiterates what is stated as to Mr. Blair.
