from movements on the riter it would appear that McClernand will be largely reinforced from Ikis command. Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, is here with one regiment of his brigade, bound down the river. The stern-wheel steamer Jacob Musselman was burned by Guerrillas at Bradley's Landing, 10 miles above Memphis, on the afternoon of the 8th. She had landed for tbe purpose of taking on board 160 bales of cotton.

The boat 'tod cotton were burning when tbe Clara Belle passed, a short time after. No one was seen on thore, a part of the passengers and crew escaped in boats. On tbe morning of the 8th, at daylight, Capt Moore, of the 2nd Illinois Cavalry, with a detachment from the 52d and S2d Iowa, 151 men, and all mounted, attacked a rebel encamp ment of 300 at Hinton's Mill, on Knob Creek, 36 miles east of Fort Pillow. The rebels were completely killed, 46 taken prisoners, B0 horses and a fine lot of small arms captured. Federal loss two slightly wounded and two horses killed.

This was one of the finest in the Southern Department, having 2,000 bunks, an immense lot of drugB and surgical apparatus, thousands of blankets, fheets, This proceeding was in violation of a promise and all rules of civilised warfare, and an evidence of the barbarity and want of prinClple in the Confederate officers.

An attempt was also made to destroy the General Hospitalt which contained ovef 900 sick. By order of Van Dorn a lot of ordnance stores, which had been stored in the building, consisting of pow der, shell and cartridges, were pilled in front of the hospital and fired. The medical officers pro tested ageiost this, but were treated with con tempt, and before there was linf to remove the the walls were riddled by flying balls and Finally an explosion took place, destroying door and window in the building, and wounding about 20 rneo. It was by tbe utmost exertion the Hospital wis saved, as a shelter for the men from the night air, and added to this a rebel oavalrv officer named Brewster, who stated he had been detained by Van Dorn, to march off all sick men who had not been paroled, collected pistol it? hand, about 150 sick soldiers, forced tbem to arise from their beds and fall iuto iine, threatening to sboot the Medical offi cers, who expostulated, and made me poor ieilows who were suffering from typhoid fever, Pneumonia and diarrhea start with him on tbe raod.

Sherman's repulse was complete. His entire force, under the direction of Gen.

McClernand, re-embarked on Saturday, on transports, closely pressed by the rebel advance, who coming within range of our gunboats, were driven back with severe low by the guns on the fleet. The entire fleet and tpusporU with troops on board, bad reached IiUnd So. 82 at last accounts, and were on their way to Napoleon. Nothing definite had jet been heard from Banks and Farragut, though various rumors of their advance were plenty. Alt hand agree that the attack on Yicksburg bj Gen.

Sherman was premature. The General himself evidently did n(tf expect to meet the force he did, as he remarked before debarking bis troops that in 24 hours after landing he would'be in Vicksburg. He seems also to have frilpri to cooperate with the fleet on an attack on the battery at Haines's Bluff, as bad been agreed upon. That stronghold iB yet uninjured. Gen.

Sherman is charged with having detained steamers from-, coming up, in order to conceal his misfortune to have opened and read letters Of correspondents there, and to hare suppressed some of them. He also threatened to put correspondents in front, and set them to carrying powder. This is the unanimous testimony (jf those who have arrived to day. The engagement was less general than heretofore reported. The principal fighting was done by the center, under command of Smith and Blair.

The conduct of the latter is highly Spoken of. He bad horse shot under him, and tBfen led bis troops on foot. Our loss as near as could be determined was 800 killed, 1800 wounded and nearly 1,000 tetssing. VJ- i -u-IJ jj, tiiiM -i GALVESTON RBCAPTDBBD BT THE REBELS.

Creole arrived night from New Orleans the 3d. She brings despatches to Gen. Halleck. She passed several gunboats and tbe transport Merrimao with troops at South West Pass, also gunboat Kensington. Purser Cook reports the arrival of the gunboat Clifton at South West Pass on the 3d.

I learn that early on tbe morning of the 1st the rebels made an attack by land and water on the Federal forces at Galveston. Our gunboats were attacked by five rebel protected by double rows of bales of cotton and loaded with troops armed with rifles, muskets, tcq. The Harriet Lane wai captured by boarding, after about all her officers, including Capt Wainright and Lieut. and the orew, 180 all told, had been killed by musketry from the rebel steamers. Vy informant states that but one or two of the officers and but twelve or fifteen of the crew escaped death.

The gunboats' Clifton and Owasco were engaged and escaped, tbe former losing no men killed and but one wounded. The Owaeco lost 1 killed and IS wouoded. Two barges loaded with coal fell into the hands of the enemy. Tbe Westfield, the flag ship of Com. Bensbaw, was not engaged, being ashore on other business, her crew were transferred to transports uid Renshaw fearing she would fall into tbe bands of the rebels, blew her up.

By some mismanagement or accident the explosion occurred before the boats containing Renshaw, Lt. Zimmerman, and boat's crow, got away. They were consequently blown up with the ship. The crew of the Westfield arrived at New Orleans on transports. The remaining troops are on their way did not arrive until tbe place had been evacuated.

All the fleet are on their way to New Orleans. The rebel forces are about 5,000, under Gen. Magruder. Our land force, under Col. Burrell of Massachusetts, probably did not exceed 300, the residue not hating arrived, or not being disembarked in time to tight.

Our loss is estimated at from 250 to 300, and 200 taken prisoners, the Navy suffering most. It is thought the rebel loss was much more, as our gunboats were firing grape and canister continually in their midst. The rebels had several batteries on shore. Tbe Federal troops were on one of tbe long wharfs, and it is said repulsed two chargeB of the rebels before they surrendered. I i a a i a ISDIANAPOLIS, Jan.

No business was transacted in the Senate for want of a quorum, the Republicans bolting, and have refused to bear the Governor's message without a joint convention of both houses.

The message refers principally to State affairs, endorses tbe Emancipation Proclamation as a necessary war measure, and says tbe peo pie of the North must not be deluded with the idea that compromise is possible, or abandon its efforts to suppress the rebellion.

Butler in and Gov. Stanley in N. or any of them concerning eleotion of Representatives to the House in their states respectively.

ROSCOE CONKLING suggested that the Inquiry include Gov. Phelps of and Gov. Johnson of Tenn. Mr. DAWES had no orher objection than that no election cases for the two latter had come before the Committee.

The resolution was adopted. On motion of Mr. T. A. CONKLIN, it was solved as tbe sense of this House that no creditors of tbe Government are as meritorious as tbe soldiers of the Union, and that no more money should be paid to any civil officers of the government until every arrearage due to any regiment in the service has been fully paid.

Mr. STEVENS introduced a bill setting forth tbat as the terms of tbe enlistment of soldiers ill soon expire, and as it is expedient to have soldiers wbostf constitutions peculiarly fit them tor Southern campaigns, therefore, Be it enacted, That tbe President is authorized and required to raise, equip and organize persons of eolor of Afrlftn decei-t to serve five years as artillery, infantry and Cavalry, to receive $5 month, the non-commissioned officers $10 and rations, one half to-be set aside for the use of their families, and in case of no families, tbe money CO be retained for them until the expiration of their term of service the commissioned officers to have the same pay as that in the regular army the company officers may be either white or black, and recruiting stations may be established either North or South. Mr. COX of Ohio, moved to lay the bill on tbe table. 63, nays 83.

On motion of Mr. STEVENS, tbe further consideration was postponed until Wednesday week. Mr. MAY, of Maryland, offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, Maryland has been declared a loyal State, and whereas slaves escaping therefrom into the District of Columbia, after being re' manded to jail to await reclamation by their been taken from the custody of tbe Marshal by tbe military authorities, in destruc tion of their rights of property and in violation of the solemn guaranteed rights of the people of Maryland, therefore Resolved, That the Committe on the Judiciary be instructed to ascertain the facts and the law concerning the same, and report the result of their investigation at an early day, and such legislation as will put an eud to these unlawful land unconstitutional proceedings. Resolved, That a copy of tbis preamble and resolution be transmitted to tbe President in or der that be may sefe that the Constitution and Laws are executed in tbis District, which is under his personal observation and authority.

Mr. FESSENDEN moved to lay it on the table, which was carried. Mr. THOMAS, of Maryland, the select Committee on Emancipation, was instructed to enquire into the expediency of an appropriation io aid Maryland in a systematic emancipation and colonization of persons of color now in that State. On motion of Mr.

BROWN, of Virginia, the Coiumitiee was similarly instructed in reference to tbe bill to aid tbe S.ate of Western Virginia in tbe emancipation of her slaves. Tbe Uouse then went intu the Cjmmitiee on tbe Whole, on tbe bill to prride ways and means tor the support of Government. Mr. STEVENS offered fcis for the bill of tbe 'Committed on ways aiid Means, as heretofore published. Mr.

SPAUuDING said in the course of lus speech, tbe government required $10V 000,000, iefore the bill could be passed iuto a law, and tbe which it author.xed cotld engraved, additional wiil be the next 20 days. Tbe vhole amount of gold and silver in all tbe banks of the loyal states, did not, on tbe first of January, exceed 187,000,000. Even if the Secretary of the Treasury could produce every dollar of this, it would not be enough to pay 50 cents on the dollar of the liabilities of tne government it was therefore perfectly plain that even this comparatively small sum of 00,000,000 cant be paid in coin. It was no fault of either the Secretary or Congress, the coin cant be obtained, it was simply an impossibility. There was a plan to meet it according to the old maxim, "if we cannot do as we would, we must do as we could." BTJKLlNGTOJSr, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17,1863: 7 WHITE, of refenfcd to tbe resolution iiltructing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into tbe expediency of providing for tbe payment of company and regimental officers from tkedate of their tot Mr.

COLFAX offered a resolution that the Committeon ways and means be discharged from further consideration of tbe House bill reducing duty on imported paper from 50 to 10 per cent, and tile same be considered now. Laid oh the table. On motion of Mr. DUNN, tbe 8eeretary of tbe Treasury was requested to inform the. House of the amount expended since tbe rebellion in the employment and subsistence of slaves in the disloyal States, and to what extent tbe expenses have been repaid by services.

The Secretary has paid out $250,000,000 legal tender notes, although he haB authority tyrifell $500,000,000 six per cent bonds, he has only sold $25,000,000, leaving the remainder to be disposed af At the market price, the reason wby the bonds were not sold was because there wts no redundancy of currency, our soldiers in the field should be paid, they cannot be expected to perform their duties cheerfully while they know their families are almost starving for the means fif living. Imperative necessity requires that payment to them should no longer be delayed. If the Secretary cannot raise mtiaey on the bonds other authority seould be given him to meet the liabilities. Our perils are two fold, compared to to those of list year. He then examined into the financial condition showing tbat were required for the our rent Bervioe.

He argued to show that tbe money could not be obtained by loan, and benee the necessity of passing tbe bill reported from the Commitee'of Ways and Meane now'under The only hope of success in any finanoiul scheme now, is military success. After sone forfher remarks the Committee rose and the House tfdjourned. number "of petitions were pre sented in favor of tbe Bankrupt Act.

A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury was read in favor of tbis meaanre, explaining that the resolution from the House would not meet the wants of Government The bill was passed. Mr. FESSENDEN explained that this bill made ample prroviBion for prompt payment of soldiers. Mr. WILSON gave notice of a bill to consolidate regiments in the field, also to facilitate the return of absent soldiers to the army.

Mr. TRUMBULL moved to take up tbe bill for tbe organization of a Court of Claims. Mr. HALE hoped not He was opposed to any legislation not looking to the salvation of the country. The bill was taken up and considered until the expiration of tbe morning hour, when, on mation of Mr.

WILKINSON, the bill for the discbarge of State prisoners was taken up and be proceeded to address the Senate. Mr. Wilkinson spoke at some length to Mr. SfulsbUry's speech, made Friday last. The bill was then postponed until to-morrow.

On motion of Mr. DAVIS the bill to raise volunteers for the defence of Kentucky was then taken up. The pending amendment of Mr. HARLAN to allow the President to raise 20,000 men in any one State rejected. Mr.

CLARK thought the bill had better be postponed. He moved to postpone for one week. The motion to postpone was rejected and tbe bill passed by yeas 23, nays 13. Mr. RICE called up the bill to reimburse tbe State of Minnesota for expenses incurred in suppressing the late Indian hostilities.

After a discussion of somejlength it was postponed and the Senate adjourned. WABHIKOTOB, Jan. went into Committee of the Whole, on the bill to provide ways and means to support tbe Government Mr. JfORRltL, of Vermont, said $900,000,000 in paper are called for. If the war should last till July, 1864, the entire amount will be needed, great as are tbe figures.

Our best financiers are our generals and soldiers in the field upon their success depends that of our best financial schemes. Europe has no disposition to loan ud money, nor Beems rvji 5 inclined to aid us in preserving the Union. We must therefore rely upon ourselves, as we had more resources than all Europe combined. A message was read fVom the Senate announc ing the death of Senator Pierce, of Md. Mr.
