it fell far short of the mark. Gen. Prentiss was captured. A member of the 22d Tennessee regiment writes from Corinth to the Memphis Appeal.-- Many and manly heart was on that gory field; many a brave man has cut down just as victory would perch upon our standard; but we were repaid in the evening for all our tails, dangers and bloodshed, by receiving the surrender of Brig.-Gen. Prentiss of the remnants of three regiments. Gen. Prentiss surrendered himself personally to private Simms, of Capt. Bathel's company, who conducted him to Col. Freeman who, after receiving his sword and returning it introduced him to the regiment. The shout that went up on hearing that we had so distinguished a prisoner, might have been heard for miles the die of the surrounding battle Gen. Prentiss graciously acknowledge the compliment thus indirectly paid him, by doffing his hat, and, in the politest manner possible saying: "Boys, you have a right to shout, for you have fourths like tige

bany, Ind. The ill-feeling between the whites and blacks which has lately been exhibited at Toledo, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, has also begun to ripen in Indiana. We find the following in the Louisville papers of Wednesday: An affray occurred in New Albany, Ind., on Monday between a party of white men and some negroes, in which John Locke was killed and Charles Lansford was wounded in the leg. Both were white boys. Four notorious negroes, named Johnson, Simms, Pell, and Price, were arrested, charged with being connected with the shooting. A good deal of excitement existed in New Albany on Tuesday, which grew out of the affair, and two or three innocent negroes were assaulted on the street by white men. It was rumored that an attack would be made on Tuesday night on a settlement of negroes about a mile back of the city, called West Union or Dogtown, and unless prevented, the only result would be a fearful story of death. We sincerely trust,

ity of the enemy. Mr. Clark thought it was due to refugees from said districts to give them an opportunity to bring their families away from the overrun district, and to look for proper homes, and make the proper provision for those of whom they have the care. Mr. Orr, of S. C., opposed the amendment, because it would amount to the exemption of all who came from Missouri, Kentucky, West Tennessee, and Northwestern Virginia. These were the every men who ought not to be exempted. Mr. Simms, of Ky., was perfectly willing to adopt the amendment, if it would only cover the cases for which it was intended; but was of opinion that the proper mode would be to adopt the original bill leaving it to the discretion of the Secretary of War to give those refugees time to seek out homes for their families who wanted them. For himself he asked no exemption for Kentuckian. If they wished to share the liberties for which we are fighting they must share its dangers. Mr. Peyton, of Mo,

ate the payment of the claims of deceased soldiers, which was placed on the calendar. Mr. Sparrow reported a bill to "amend an act establishing and organizing the army of the Confederate States of America." the object of which is to establish a Paymaster's department separate from the Quartermaster's. Placed on the calendar. On motion of Mr. Sparrow, the bill "providing for substitutes in certain cases, and detailing privates for police duty," was taken up from the calendar. Mr. Simms, of Ky., said that he was unwilling to legalize the substitute system as amended, or as heretofore practiced. He thought that if any system were to be adopted, the best would be that adopted by the French Government, which established by law a certain price to be paid by the party desiring a substitute into the Treasury, and furnished the substitute itself. By this means the trends practiced by deserting substitutes, and the usury and villainy practiced by substitute agents, would be obv

Mr. Maxwell, of Fla., presented a petition from twenty-three of the inmates of the Winder Hospital asking the passage of a bill "to send all the old and infirm men that are not able to double quick in the army to their respective States." Referred. Mr. Simms, of Ky., offered the following preamble and resolutions, which on his motion, were laid upon the table for the present: Whereas, our country must ever cherish with a grateful pride the heroic achievements of its brave and patriotic soldiery, who, in a noble struggle for independence of and resistance to the invaders and desolator of our homes, have won for themselves and our armies imperishable glory upon the field of battle; and whereas, these achievements, thus signalized by deeds of daring and personal valor worthy of any age, and rendered doubly dear to the hearts of our people
