arties for observation, &c., all of which he promptly executed. After the enemy's cavalry had retreated beyond the range of our artillery I ceased firing and occupied the position until half an hour ago, when I fell back through a boggy wood to this position, on tile hill commanding Mr. Atkins' house. I had expected the infantry and artillery to move up after the cavalry was repulsed; but waiting three hours for him, and finding this to be a better position, I crossed the creek near Adkins' and took the position I now occupy. I was much influenced in this move by a report which Lieutenant Forrest, of Forrest's cavalry, made me after the repulse. He came, attracted by the firing, and reported the enemy moving up the Hamburg and Corinth road in a column of 10,000 infantry. He had been posted with 20 men on this road yesterday morning at a point near Babb's house. This morning he was driven in and cut oft from his retreat to me and came back toward Corinth till he heard the f

was joyfully obeyed, and in a very few minutes my command was in rapid motion. Between my late camp in Lookout Mountain Valley and the spur of the mountain my command was overtaken by the Ninety-second Illinois mounted infantry, commanded by Colonel Adkins, who informed me he had been ordered to press forward to Chattanooga with all haste, to secure any property the enemy might have left behind, and to discover something of his lines of retreat. I allowed his regiment to pass my command; but o that the enemy's skirmishers outflanked his, and his further progress was debarred. I immediately threw forward the Twenty-sixth Ohio, Lieutenant-Colonel Young commanding, to the right and higher up the mountain side than the skirmishers of Colonel Adkins extended, and rapidly drove the enemy's skirmishers from the mountain side. No further opposition was encountered in occupying Chattanooga, and the Ninety-second Illinois pushed rapidly into the town, followed by my First and Third brigades.

That it be referred to the Committee on Rules to consider and report upon the expediency of so amending the rules of this House as to require that no bill or joint resolution shall be put upon its passage until the same shall have been printed and distributed, except by a two-third vote. Referred to the Committee on Rules. Mr. Heiskell, of Tenn., introduced a resolution to provide for the prompt payment of the claims of deceased soldiers. Referred to the Military Committee. Mr. Adkins, of Tenn., arose to a personal explanation. His attention had been called to a card published in a Memphis paper, and signed by the members of the Tennessee Legislature, denying a statement attributed to him in some remarks he had made in the House, on the conduct of Gen. A. S. Johnston, to the effect that a petition had been signed by nearly every member of that Legislature, praying the removal of Gen. Johnston. He had never made any such statement. He had said in those remarks that ne

e boat be came stationary. All on board had reached the stern, the whole boat was then enveloped in flames, about five minutes from the time the fire was first discovered. All or nearly all then rushed overboard as fast as they could. It was an awful moment. But nearly all were saved, either by aiming or clinging to the trees, though many ran a narrow chance. There was no dry land to be found, and these that could not get beyond the nearest trees suffered considerably from the wreck, many were considerably burned, but all were finally rescued, except three while persons--one of the engineers, one passenger named Adkins, I think, and a Mr. Wilson, together with four or five negroes. How she took fire none can tell. It was first discovered on the outer tier of bales, and it was then so small that but for the wind it could have been easily extinguished, but in ten minutes nothing was left but the hull. She was a noble boat, and might have done noble service. The loss is heavy.

unners.--Eighty-seven shots were fired from all the ships, but, providentially, no one on board was injured Capt. Eustace managed the ship well, and during the hottest fire ran up his flag to show defiance. Free once more, another attempt was made to run in; but now, I am sorry to say, our greatest trial came. Captain Eustace, during the action, had visited the lockers a little too often, and just in the first moment of our triumph became quite under the influence of drink. The pilot, Adkins, was very drunk, hopelessly so, and Mr. Tickle, the 1st officer, completely stupefied with liquor.--It was a sad state of things, and in a short time thereafter occasioned the loss of the poor little Vesta. Putting the ship upon a course, the Captain sat in a chair upon the deck and slept for over an hour. The pilot was in the cabin, and the 1st officer unfit for duty. The 2d officer was at the wheel, where he had been from early in the day, and not one officer of the ship was on lookout.

The result of Colonel Witcher's fight is not given. It is believed that the enemy have succeeded in destroying Adkins is a point on the railroad seven miles this side of Marion. The result of Colonel Witcher's fight is not given. It is believed that the enemy have succeeded in destroying the machinery at the lead works, the report that that point was guarded by General Vaughan being untrue. From the celerity of their movements, it is doubted whether the enemy have any artillery; and some think that, for the lack of this arm, they have not and will not attack the salt works. The statements of the telegrams mentioned are based on information telegraphed to Lynchburg by officers of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, one of whom escaped from the enemy at Glade Spring, and the ot
