Virginians for accurate information touching military operations before Bowling Green. Having just gotten here, I shall content myself with a reference to the Virginia troops under General Floyd. His brigade is encamped about three miles West of Bowling Green, and seems ready to measure swords with the foe. Although this gallant command has performed much arduous service, its sanitary condition is good, and the General deserves the thanks of the country for his daring campaign in Western Virginia. The theatre of his operations there was so beset with difficulties, both moral and physical, that he was denied a fair field against the enemy and it was but an act of justice on the part of Government to send him to an arena where those encumbrances would not be encountered. The Fifty-Sixth Virginia. Regiment has been assigned for the present to his command, and it is quite probable that this arrangement, will be permanent. Its encampment is situated three hundred yards from the G

ousand dollars of damage to ourselves. If the enemy can afford to keep up the war by operations of this sort, it is mathematically certain that we can afford to suffer our part of the programme without trouble. This Burnside expedition completes the grand designs of McClellan. He is now entirely ready "to crush out the rebellion and to restore the Union." The chances of success are against him. We have scotched the snake on the Potomac; we did the same thing before winter set in Western Virginia. We did it in the most summary manner on the Peninsula in June. It does not yet appear that we have not done it in Kentucky. The movements of the serpent are too feeble on the coast of Mississippi to require as yet any decisive steps against him there as yet. We have scotched the snake at Beaufort Burnside is the last coil of the reptile; and if we can cripple and destroy him here, our troubles may be set down as over; for the enemy's treasury is now bankrupt, and without some great

e House was ready, on its part, to go into the election of Senators for the Confederate Congress, and that James Barbour, R. M. T. Hunter, Wm. C. Rives, and Wm. Ballard Preston, are candidates for one of the vacancies. The discussion was then continued upon the motion to recede, when the question was put, and was decided in the affirmative, ayes 30 and nays 16. Mr. Deuglass offered a resolution that the Senate will proceed now to join the House in the election of a Senator from Western Virginia, in the place of the late Senator in the United States Congress, whose place would have first become vacant. This resolution became the subject of various amendments, bearing upon the question of usage, in relation to the election of Senators from the eastern, and western divisions of the State, several of the Senators preferring to recognize the distinction, in terms, in the resolution, and others desiring to discard it altogether, contending that the Senate ought not, by its reso

es. Mr. James moved that the election be postponed until the 12th of February. A reason Why he wanted the election postponed was because the House had not fet decided upon the question of filling the vacant seats in this body from Western Virginia. He thought the voice of the whole of Virginia ought to be represented in the election. Mr. Woodson also advocated the postponement of the election. He alluded to the fact that a number of members were absent from illness. Mr. Buford thought there were sufficient indications that the House would not fill the vacancies from Western Virginia, and, therefore, it was useless to postpone this matter for the purpose indicated. He hoped the election would be disposed of at once. The House had much important business before it, and ought not to be distracted longer by a matter of this character. Mr. Bucks called the ayes and noes. The question of postponement was decided in the negative by a vote of ayes 27, noes 88.
