Congress. The following resolutions of thanks to Generals Johnston and Beauregard, and the troops under their command at the battle of Manassas, were introduced in Congress on yesterday, and adopted unanimously: Resolved, by the Congress of the Confederate States of America, That the thanks of Congress are eminently due, and are hereby cordially given, to General Joseph E Johnston and General Gustave T. Beauregard, and to the officers and troops under their command, for the great andJohnston and General Gustave T. Beauregard, and to the officers and troops under their command, for the great and signal victory obtained by them over forces of the United States far exceeding them in number, in the battle of the 21st of July, at Manassas, and for the gallantry, courage, and endurance evinced by them in a protracted and continuous struggle of more than ten hours--a victory, the results of which will be realized in the future successes of the war, and which, in the judgment of Congress, entitles all who contributed to it to the gratitude of their country.

the body can be recovered, as the place of interment is marked, and every facility promised to accomplish that purpose. The gentlemen carrying the flag speak in high terms of the courteous and kind manner in which they were treated by Col.

Whatever they may have seen of interest in the neighborhood, they have the prudence to conceal, having gone thither on an errand of mercy, and not for reconnoitering purposes. One of the communications recently sent hither under a flag of truce from General Johnston, was, it is understood, in relation to a report which had reached the Confederates, that some of their prisoners had been hung by order of our military authorities. As no such executions have taken place, it may certainly be inferred that General McDowell replied in accordance with this fact.
