[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette. 1

DIJON, January 25.—The defeat of the Prussians on Sunday was complete. Tiie troops under llicciotti Garribaldi destroyed the Sixty-lirstPnissian regiment. The French behaved heroically.

VERSAILLES, Jan. 23.—At an interview with M. llegnier, to-day, Bismarck said "General Bourbaki is caught between Generals Von Werder and Manteuflel, and must shortly surrender. Paris will capitulate in a day or two, when 000,000 Germans will be released to subjugate France- I want a party to negotiate with I can't negotiate with the nation. llegnier .suggested il would be suicidal for any parly in France to make peace. Bismarck angrily closed the interview.

It is believed that negotiations for, the capitulation of Paris have been opened. BERLIN, Jan. 25.—The Liberals condemn Bismarck and notFavre for delaying peace. A Democratic organ says there is no necessity to prick the vanquished with pins. The Chancellor's last note may encourage another sortie, if it costs a dozen German soldiers' lives it will be one too expensive by far for the author of the classical note of the lGtli.

BORDEAUX, Jan. 25.—After the battle of Dijon the Prussians retreated towards Mersigny and Savigny Le Sur. In the west, also, the Prussians appear to be falling back. Alencon has been evacuated by the enemy.

The enemy cut the railway between Lyons and Besancon at Bizans. LONDON, Jan. 25.—There was an OX tensive conflagration at Longuy yesterday. The flames were visible all night, and to-day the fire is still burning. In the meanwhile the bombardment goes on without relaxation.

VERSAILLES, Jan. 25.—Jules Favre is here. He proposes the capitulation of Paris and garrisons with the honors of war. The terms are not deemed ad missable. The attack on St. Denis and the disaster of the lGlh mainly led to the resolution to ask for terms. Gen. Trochu is ill, and Vinoy is in command.

The Times, in a leader, says if Favre refuses unconditional surrender, Bismarck, who has in his possession a full acceptance of these terms by the French Emperor and Empress, will threaten to restore Napoleon.

A special telegram to the Daily Telegraph from Versailles says there is solid ground for believing Paris will surrender to-day. There is great scarcity of fuel and provisions. The working men lack employment and a revolt is feared.

The population of Alsace are troublesome, and a large German force is required in the province to prevent an outbreak.

BRUSSELS, January 25.—Letters from Paris by balloon state that the Council of National Defense on the afternoon of the 21st, after the sortie, accepted the resignation of Trochu, and replaced Admirals Lassa and LaLouviere. Trochu remains civil Governor. La Flo is^succeeded by Dorian.

LONDON, Jan. 28.—A semi-official declaration has been received from Constantinople that henceforth Turkey will rely upon herself for protection, anff not 011 the interests and jealousies of the European powers.

LONDON, Jan. 26.—The German Parliament is expected to assemble at Berlin on the 9tli of March.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The unveiling of Miss Ream's statue of Lincoln took place last night in the rotunda of the Capitol which was brilliantly illuminated and decorated with flags. One made of California silk was suspended over the statue. President Grant, Vice President Colfax, General Sherman, Judge Davis, the Committee 011 Public Buildings and Grounds, and the orators of the occasion occupied seats on the platform. There was a large audience, including the Judges of the Supreme Court and members of Congress, with their families.

After music by the Marine Band, Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court, proceeded to nnveil the statue, which was covered with the national flag. As soon as this was done the assembly" broke forth in applause.

Addresses were delived by Senators Trumbull, Patterson and Carpenter, and by Representatives Callom, Banks and Brooks, of New York, eulogistic of Mr. Lincoln, and congratulating the success of Miss Ream.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The Presbytery of Brooklyn has granted the request of Rev. Dr. Spear, to be relieve from the pastorate of South Presbyterian Church that he may assume the editorial chair of the Independent.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—LeroyJones, living three miles east of Milton, Wisconsin, committed suicide, on Monday night, by taking poison. Domestic troubles inspired the act.

The house of William Crowens, at Braidwood, Illinois, was burned afe\V night since, and William Reynolds and two of Crowens' children perished in the

Mr. Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, reported back adversely the uill lately introduced by himself in reference to insurance companies.

Mr. Williams' resolution for a special Senate committee 011 telegraphic legislation was taken up as business of the morning hour. Objection was made because of the supposed efllct of the resolution cempelliiig recommital of bills already matured by standing committees, and now pending 011 the calendar.

The morning hour having expired the resolution' went over without action. At one o'clock Mr. Schurz was awarded the floor upon Mr. Trumbull's pending civil service reform bill, but gave way temporarily to Mr. Howell, 011 whose motion the House bill granting pensions to soldiers and sailors and widows of deceased soldiers of the war of 1812, was taken up and read.

Mr. Schurz thought it evident that the bill would lead to extended debate, and resumed the floor.

Mr. Scott appealed to Mr. Schurz to allow the regular order of business to be passed over informally, subject to the call of any Senator, in order to proceed with the income tax repeal bill.

After arguments by Messrs. Scott and Sherman, the subject was informally laid aside, and the remainder of the session wus t.'ilcen up by a personal debate between Senators Fenton and Conlding, in regard to mutters connected with the New York Custom House auu Cuiicotor Murphy's administration.

At 4:'o0 the Senate adjourned. House. Mr. Brooks, of New York, presented a petition of Frank Leslie for equalization of duties upon sized and unsized paper, in lieu ofa discrimination of 20 and 35 per cent.

Mr. Niblack reported a fortification bill, which was made the special order for next Tuesday. The bill appropriates §1,027,000.

Mr. Hooper, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported back the Senate amendment to the House bill declaratory of the meaning of the act of July 14, 1870, to reduce internal taxation. The amendment was concurred in, and the bill now goes to the President for approval:

Mr. Negley, from the Committee on Military Afhiirs, reported a bill extending the benefits of tho act establishing an asylum for disabled volunteer soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812 and the Mexican war. Passed.

Mr. Negley also reported a bill to repeal the proviso of the sixth section of the act of July 27, 186S, relating to pensions, the proviso being a limitation of five years for applications for pensions after the right thereto accrued.

Mr. Benjamin, Chairman of the Committee 011 Invalid Pensions, objected to the reporting of such bill from the Committee on Military Affairs, as a subject that belongs to and was under consideration by the Pension Committee. The objection was overruled and the bill passed.

Mr. Morgan, from the Committee 011 Military Affairs, reported back the Senate bill'to turn over to the Secretary of the Interior, for disposal by sale, after

New

Mexico Forts Jessup and Sabine, La. Fort NVayne, Ark. Fort Collins, Col. Fort Dakota, in Dakota, and such portion of Fort Bridger, Wyoming, as is no longer required for military purposes.

Mr. Garfield moved to amend by adding Fort Smith, Arkansas. Agreed to, and the bill then passed.

The House then took up the bill reported yesterday by Mr. Stoughton, from the Committee on Military Affairs, to enable honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, and their widows and orphans to acquire a homestead on the public lauds.

Mr. Holman moYed to substitute for soldiers and sailors of the late war and their widows and orphans, the bounty land law of the 28th of September, 1870.

Mr. Julian moved a substitute relieving soldiers and sailors who make homestead entries, from legal requirement of five year's occupation, but letting the time served in the army count as part of the time of occupation.

The morning hour expired and the bill went over till to-morrow. Mr. Schofield offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for for a tabular statement showing the pay and allowances of the different grades of armj' officers, under the act of the 15th of July, 1870, as compared with their pay and allowances before the passage of the act. Adopted.

The House then, at 2 o'clock, went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Wheeler in the chair, on the Indian Appropriation bill, which appropriates §4,359,409.

After disposing of thirty-four pages of the biil, just one-half, the Committee rose and the House, at 4:15, adjourned. -o- 4*

Ariocdotc of Toombs and Wade. Toombs fought shy of Douglas, whom he admired and often feared but he assailed Seward and Wade, ridiculingthemas "sanculotte lacklanders," whom he denounced as more trespassers, who ought to be kicked off the public domain. He shook his fist at Seward, who happened at that moment to be quietly smoking a cigar at the doorway o* the cloak room, and arraigned him as destitute of all statesmanlike ideas, and only equal to playing the slippery arts of demagogue. Then turning to Wade, whose seat was right by the side of his own, Toombs, his knotted locks bristling with excitement, sneered at Wade, who, till then, he had always supposed was a man of moderate

courage, for beina: afraid of the lacklandcrs, and for skulking from the real question at issue.

This personal sally brought Wade to his feet, his eye flashing deiiance. Stepping up to Toombs, and bringing his fist heavily upon his desk, he said, iu tones that made the chamber ring, "Afraid I am not aware that I ever saw anything or anybody under the Almighty's heaven that I was afraid of!" Toombs drew his chair back a little. "Skulk the issue? No!" thundered Wade "lam ready to go to the people upon it—'Land for the jandless vs. niggers for the niggerless The packed galleries could stand it 110 longer, a:id broke out with loud applause, which, in spite of Vice-President Breckinridge's gavel, rose, as Douglas shook hands with Wade, into three dicers for "Old Ben. and the Little Giant.

The marrow of the controversy was touched when Mason declared that 110 Democrat holding the doctrines of the Senator from Illinois cnuld get a single electoral vote from the South in the next Presidential campaign, which Douglas instantly checkmated by the vehement assertion that 110 Democrat who held the sentiments of the Senator from Virginia could carrv a single Congressional district in the North. The prophecy of each was fulfilled in I860, when Breckinridge and Douglas were the Democratic candidates of their respective sections.
