Supposed spy arrested. --We understand that a man called Chas. Henry Foster, who formerly edited the Murfreesborough (N. C.) "Citizen," was arrested on Friday night in a bar-room in this city, and was taken before the Mayor, on suspicion of being a spy. When carried before the Mayor he exhibited a pass to leave the State signed by Marmaduke Johnson, Esq., without a date. After being detained a short time he was let loose, no one appearing against him. The person alluded to was not long since in N. C., where he was waited upon by the citizens and told to leave. He said at that time that he was an officeholder under lincoln, and resided in Washington, and had only obtruded himself where he formerly resided to see a lot of acquaintances he had. Foster, if we mistake not, used to edit a paper in Norfolk. He is a Vermonter by birth. It would be as well for the Mayor to establish a chain-gang composed exclusively of "suspicious characters." They would thus be enabled to earn their

Congressional. Washington, Feb, 5. --Senate.--A joint resolution was passed for a meeting of the two Houses to count the Presidential ballot. The usual number of peace memorials was presented. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, addressed the Senate on the President's message. He opposed secession. He indicated the sympathy exhibited yesterday at the withdrawal of the Louisiana Senators. He said it was well gotten up, and well acted. He was exceedingly bitter against the seceding States, South Carolina in particular, and attacked Senator Benjamin's position with great vehemence. House.--The certificate of the election of Farnsworth, delegate from the Territory of Colorado, was presented and referred. Mr. Taylor, of La., presented the Ordinance of Secession of his State, which was read. In his remarks he intimated that amendments to the Constitution would have the effect of restoring her to the Union, but that the resolutions of the Committee of Thirty-Three w

is continent. Our private opinion is that if it were necessary to summon all witnesses in order to prosecute the faro-dealer, the virtues members of society would be amazed at the spectacle. They would find that familiarity with gaming is not confined to men of low degree; on the contrary, is most ardent votaries would be found in the upper crust, and in this fact lies the difficulty of executing the law upon professional gamblers. The proceedings against the persons arrested on Saturday night have not yet made any progress. John A. Worsham and Wm. Burnes, charged with exhibiting a game called faro, were yesterday allowed to renew their bail of $1000 each for their appearance before the Mayor on Wednesday, and the same disposition was probably made of the cases against James McCana and Ben. Degroot. Meanwhile, public curiosity is greatly excited as to the result of the investigation. Messrs. W. W. Crump and Marmaduke Johnson have been obtained as counsel by two of the parties.

The faro Banks and Bankers. --John A. Worsham and William Burnes, charged with keeping and exhibiting a game called faro, appeared before the Mayor yesterday, accompanied by their counsel, Wm. W. Crump and Marmaduke Johnson, Esqs. The Mayor stated that the parties had been presented by the Grand Jury, but the law, nevertheless, required that he should examine them. A continuance was then requested, which was acceded to, the Mayor calling the attention of the counsel to the fact that certain bank checks were found upon the faro table, and the question would arise whether those checks were to be considered as money under the act of Assembly, though his own mind was already made up in regard to the matter. The persons accused were delivered into the custody of the City Sergeant; and a similar disposition was made of the charges against Jas. McCann and Benjamin Degroot.

et in the rear of our army at Bowling Green and cut off its communications with Nashville and the South. The enemy had the advantage of throwing large reinforcements to the point of combat by way of the Cumberland river from Smithland, Paducah, and Calro, and therefore has steadily outnumbered our forces. The struggle has been the most prolonged and hotly contested of the war. Our brave soldiers have fought with a constancy and courage never excelled. Generals Floyd, Pillow, Buckner, and Johnson, (not Sidney,) commanded. The battle is understood to have raged with great severity on Friday and Saturday, and was continued yesterday. Both sides were reinforced on Saturday and probably yesterday — with what final result we are not able now to say. Our forces both on Friday and Saturday gained important advantages, and the enemy, who had been frequently driven from his position, was on the latter day thought to be routed, and no doubt would have been irrecoverably defeated but for the
