extended to telegraphic dispatches and to newspapers containing ordinary news paragraphs; and if so, to report a bill to repeal so much of said law. Agreed to. Mr. Clopton, of Ala., presented several resolutions adopted by the Legislature of his State, also, a bill to increase the efficiency of the army by the employment of slaves. Mr. Foster, of Ala, offered a resolution that the Military Committee inquire into the expediency of instructing Major-Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Brig.-Gen. Stephen D. Lee to require their Quartermasters to adjust the claims of citizens of the Northern District of Alabama for supplies furnished their commands. Referred to the Committee on Quartermaster and Commissary Departments. Mr. Curry, of Ala., offered several resolutions adopted by the Legislature of his State; which were appropriately referred.

From General Lee's army. [Special Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Army of Northern Virginia., December 26th, 1863. Christmas has passed away marked by few events of interest in the lines of this army. On Christmas eve at night a party of soldiers, about one hundred in number, entered Orange C. H. and made a desny intention on the part of the enemy to advance, but rather to put infantry on picket on the front in order that their cavalry may be sent back to recruit. Gen. Lee means to give his boys a Christmas treat in the shape of rations for the week of coffee and sugar. Supplies for that purpose have been received, and will be issor transportation when the army is in motion. Ought not every brigade to have one of these shoe shops for repairs? In my last, in mentioning the members of Gen. Lee's Staff, I omitted the names of Lt. Colonel Smith, Chief of Engineers) Capt. Johnson, Ass't of Engineers; and Capt. H. B. Young, Judge Advocate General. The

Lieut. Gen. S. D. Lee. Gen. Stephen D. Lee has recently been appointed Lieutenant-General in the Confederate States army, and placed in command of the Mississippi Department.

Lee has recently been appointed Lieutenant-General in the Confederate States army, and placed in command of the Mississippi Department. In connection with this announcement, a brief military biography of this officer will prove interesting. He is a native of South Carolina, and a graduate of West Point, where he took his diploma in 1854; was a classmate of Gens. J. E. B. Stuart, J. B. Villepigue, W. D. Pender, and Horace Randall. He commenced his military career as 2d Lieutenant of the 4th artillery, and was subsequently promoted to a 1st lieutenancy of the 1st regiment of regulars. Soon after his native Stater's Creek he commanded a brigade of Georgians, and during the siege of Vicksburg held that portion of Stevenson's line so furiously assaulted on the 19th and 22d of May. Shortly after the surrender Gen. Lee was appointed to the rank of Major General, and assigned to the command of all the cavalry in the Mississippi Department.

om, we copy for their benefit the following telegram, dated. Harrisburg,July 7.--A rebel prisoner captured in a skirmish at Hagerstown, states that the present raid is not only to procure horses, but crops and provisions; that it is headed by Lee and composed of Ewell's and Longstreet's corps, and is an effort to invade Pennsylvania and other Northern States--The capture of Baltimore and Washington are also aimed at. While Lee is thus operating against Washington city, Beauregard has Lee is thus operating against Washington city, Beauregard has been left in command at Petersburg, where he has sufficient force, so our rebel informant states. Another telegram says: Parties who have a fair reputation for veracity, and who have lately arrived here, state that Bushrod Johnson had crossed the Potomac with about three thousand men, the advance of a column of forty thousand under Ewell. One gentleman, who is well known hereabouts, goes so far as to state that he shook hands with Gen. Johnson at Williamsport. Another, from Wa

ng each other, and estopped by the heat and dust from doing the other serious damage. From Suffolk and vicinity. On the 3d of July a party of Yankee cavalry, about sixty in number, went out from Suffolk to South Quay and burned all the houses at that place. They also obtained a small quantity of cotton and pork, a wagon and four mules, and returned the same day to Suffolk. This expedition is characterized by the Northern papers as a grand affair. On Thursday last, two brigades of cavalry, from Grant's army, passed through Suffolk toward Portsmouth. They were supposed to belong to Sheridan's command. Their destination was unknown. From Mississippi. We learn through an official channel that the force of the enemy lately reported at La Grange, Miss., has advanced thirty miles from that place. A collision at an early day is considered inevitable. Our army in that section is commanded by Lieut. General Stephen D. Lee, who will give a good account of himself.

tant intelligence of the day is the fact, officially ascertained, that the enemy's force heretofore operating in Louisiana, Arkansas, and other States west of the Mississippi river, are all now on this side, having evacuated both of those States, with the exception of some garrison troops remaining. Gen. Canby, the General who superseded Banks, of "paper collar" memory, is on this side for the purpose of attacking Mobile. --The force which has just been whipped from Tupelo, Miss., by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, was intended to co-operate with him, and the cutting of the Montgomery and West Point railroad, one of the feeders of Mobile, was another part of his programme. The Yankees are evidently pushing the policy of concentration to the uttermost. Mobile will not be taken by Mr. Canby by assault nor siege, nor is it probable that the United States will ever hold the State of Louisiana again. Complimentary Oredr. The following letter from the Secretary of War explains itself:

y Twice repulsed — the raiders — another capture. The news from Georgia is still very exhilarating. Sherman, it appears, has ceased his attempts to flank General Hood, and has commenced his attacks on our front. On Saturday last he made two, both of which, as will be seen from the following official dispatch, failed: "Atlanta, August 6, 1864. "Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "The enemy made two assaults to-day on Finley's and Lewis's brigades, of Bate's division, in Lee's corps, both of which were handsomely repulsed with loss to them. J. B. Hood, General." Sherman's case just now is very much like Grant's. He cannot flank his antagonist and he cannot retreat. He must come up in front. We believe Lookout Mountain (which, we trust, will never be repeated,) is the only case in which a Confederate army, of respectable numbers, was ever driven out of a position by an enemy that came up in front; and if this is Sherman's only hope he had better co

ing. On the 10th ultimo, Shelby, who, with his command, was at Scarcy, between Little Rock and Batesville, captured one hundred and eighty of the Tenth Illinois cavalry. General Carr was in command of the Federal troops at Little Rock, whilst Generals Lee and Gordon, from Louisiana, were at the mouth of White river with reinforcements for General Stecle. Comments of the New York Press on the battle of Petersburg. [from the New York Times.] The attempt on the lines of Petersburg on Sral Grant's campaign is a failure; but though an adverse fate had the deed drawn and signed, it lacked the seal of final authentication which was impressed upon it in the battle of Saturday. Indeed, the problem is no longer the destruction of Lee's army and the capture of Richmond, or even the capture of Petersburg, but the defence of loyal States against the rebel armies. No doubt General Grant will keep a large force operating on the James river, but we can never afford to present t

His mission is generally unknown, but it is strongly suspected that he has returned with a plan perfected for the co-operation of troops in another quarter. General Johnston is at Macon with his family, having there rented a house and entered upon a permanent residence. Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee is on his way here to assume command of the corps vacated by General Hood. Since about noon to-day the citizens have enjoyed the privilege for the first time, on a systematic scale, of studying the science of ferruginous conchology.
