joint resolution for absorbing four hundred millions of the present currency by levying a direct tax upon our property, including Treasury notes which shall be held on the 1st of April next. The bill was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Johnson, of Ga., introduced a bill, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, to amend the impressment act. The bill provides for the repeal of the law authorizing the appointment of commissioners to fix prices in the different States, erk to aid them in their labors. Agreed to.

discovered that the enemy had retired. Information was received about the same time that Sherman's corps of 20,000 men had probably passed around to the north of Chattanooga, and gone to the assistance of Burnside, and this led Gen. Bragg to order Cleburne's and Buckner's corps to take the cars at Chickamauga Station and proceed with all possible dispatch to Lenoir Station, on the Chattanooga and East Tennessee road, and head off Sherman, or at all events to joint Longstreet. But only Bushrod Johnson's and Gracie's brigades had embarked on the cars when it was ascertained that Sherman had not gone in the direction at Knoxville, but was in the vicinity of Chattanooga ready to unite in an assault upon our positions. Cleburne's division and Reynolds's brigade of Buckner's division, which had not then left the station, were recalled and returned in time to take part in the great events then evidently at hand. It was now apparent that a master spirit was directing the movements of the

the Union ladies.--They are not to blame. I often blush when I think of the common herd that I am periling my life for. God save me from such ignorant trash. You have often heard of majorities for the Union in East Tennessee, but I must confess, taking everything into consideration, if the rebels are entitled to any country it is this. Their friends are many, strong in their fidelity, and seem to have some plausible reasons for their rights, &c. The name of tory seems to suit them very well. I don't wonder at the promotion of Gov. Johnson, Horace Maynard, and others. Such a people can be easily demagogue. All they know is to be "Union folks." I can't think that we shall remain here very long even the rebels permitting. The rebel General Vaughn and others are continually annoying us, so much so that we cannot see any peace for them.--We didn't expect to fight the rebels when we came here but find that our personal safety will force us to fight them hard and often.

The Executive departments. On Thursday last, it will be recollected, Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced into the Senate a bill to limit and define the term of the Secretary, or the principal officers of each Executive Department. It provides that the term of office of the above named officers be the same as that of a member of the House of Representatives, and expire at the end of each session of Congress, but that the same officer or person may be renominated or appointed for a number of terms. We have rarely had the fortune to come across a more objectionable proposition. Mr. Johnson said, on submitting this bill, that its constitutionality was beyond question. We doubt it exceedingly. The Constitution divides the Government into three grand departments — Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. It confers upon each certain powers, necessary to the discharge of their several functions. It gives to the Executive the power of appointing the heads of departments, with
