ll entitled an act for the enlistment of cooks in the army; which, after much discussion, was passed to its engrossment, read a third time, and agreed to. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President, transmitting the report of Maj. Gen. Van Dorn, of the engagement on Sugar Creek, Ark., on the 7th and 8th of March, which was read, laid upon the table and ordered to be printed. The main portions of the report we herewith append: Headq'rs Trans-Miss. District,Jacksonport, Ark., March 27, 1862. General: I have the honor to report that, while at Pocahontas, I received dispatches on the 22d of February, informing me that Gen. Price had rapidly fallen back from Springfield before a superior force of the enemy, and was endeavoring to form a junction with the division of Gen. McCulloch on Boston Mountain. For reasons which seemed to me imperative, I resolved to go in person and take command of the combined forces of Price and McCulloch. I reached their h

the 4th of March, moved with the divisions of Price and McCulloch, by way of Fayetteville and Bentonville, to attack the enemy's main camp on Sugar Creek. The whole force under my command was about 16,000 men. On the 6th we left Elm Springs for Bentonville, and from prisoners captured by our scouting parties on the 5th I became convinced that up to that time no suspicion was entertained ofoints in the surrounding country could rejoin the main body. I therefore endeavored to reach Bentonville, 11 miles distant, by a rapid march; but the troops moved so very slowly that it was 11 A. M.h was admirably handled, until we had gained a point on Sugar Creek, about seven miles beyond Bentonville, and within one or two miles of the strongly entrenched camp of the enemy. In conferencenance supplies could not find his wagons, which, with the subsistence train, had been sent to Bentonville. Most of the troops had been without food since the morning of the 6th, and the artillery ho

total loss is near about 2,000,) four cannon, and ten baggage wagons, and we burnt upon the field three cannon taken by McIntosh in his brilliant charge, the horses having been killed;--these guns could not be brought away. The force with which I went into action was less than 14,000 men; that of the enemy is variously estimated at from 17,000 to 24,000. During the whole of this engagement, I was with the Missouri division under Price, and I have never seen better fighters than these Missouri troops, or more gallant leaders than Gen. Price and his officers. From the first to the last shot they continually pushed on, and never yielded an inch they had won; and when at last they received the order to fall back, they retired steadily and with cheers.--General Price received a severe wound early in the action, but would neither retire from the field nor cease to expose himself to danger. No successes can repair the loss of the gallant dead who fell in the well-fought field. M

7 o'clock the cannonading was as heavy as that of the previous day. On the side of the enemy the fire was much better sustained, for being forced from the attack of my right wing, he could now concentrate his whole artillery force. Finding that my right wing was much disorganized and that the batteries were one after another retiring from the field with every shot expended, I resolved to withdraw the army, and at once placed the ambulances with all of the wounded they would bear upon the Huntsville road, and a portion of McCulloch's division, which had joined me during the night, in position to follow, while I so disposed of my remaining forces as best to deceive the enemy as to my intentions, and to hold him in check while executing it. --About 10 o'clock, I gave the order for the column to march, and soon afterwards for the troops engaged to fall back and cover the rear of the army. This was done very steadily. --No attempt was made by the enemy to follow us, and we encamped

Mr. Kenner, of La., from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill entitled "an act making further appropriations for the expenses of the Government." Upon this bill he moved that the House go into secret session, but withdrew his motion for the reception of a report from the Military Committee. Mr. Davis, of Miss., offered a resolution to rescind the resolution adjourning the House on Monday next; but, as objection was made, no action was had upon the subject. Mr. Miles, of S. C., from the Military Committee, reported an original bill in lieu of one referred to the committee, entitled "an act to authorize the organization of bands of partisan rangers." The bill was taken up, engrossed, read a third time, and passed. Mr. Davis then moved that the House resolved itself into secret session; and the motion being seconded, the Speaker ordered the floor to be cleared. After spending several hours in secret session, the House again opened its doors, when Mr.

of March, and being satisfied that the enemy, who had halted on Sugar Creek, 55 miles distant, was only awaiting large reinforcements before he would advance, I resolved to attack him at once. Accordingly, I sent for Gen. Pike to join me near Elm Springs with the forces under his command, and, on the morning of the 4th of March, moved with the divisions of Price and McCulloch, by way of Fayetteville and Bentonville, to attack the enemy's main camp on Sugar Creek. The whole force under my command was about 16,000 men. On the 6th we left Elm Springs for Bentonville, and from prisoners captured by our scouting parties on the 5th I became convinced that up to that time no suspicion was entertained of our advance, and that there were strong hopes of our effecting a complete surprise, and attacking the enemy before the large detachments encamped at various points in the surrounding country could rejoin the main body. I therefore endeavored to reach Bentonville, 11 miles distant, by

For reasons which seemed to me imperative, I resolved to go in person and take command of the combined forces of Price and McCulloch. I reached their headquarters on the 3d of March, and being satisfied that the enemy, who had halted ences I had with him a sagacious, prudent counsellor, and a bolder soldier never died for his country. McIntosh had been very much distinguished all through the operations which had taken place in this region, and during my advance from Boston Mountain I placed him in command of the cavalry brigade and in charge of the pickets. He was alert, daring, and devoted to his duty. His kindness of disposition, with his reckless bravery, had attached the troops strongly to him, so that after McCu

This was done very steadily. --No attempt was made by the enemy to follow us, and we encamped about two P. M., about six miles from the field of battle — Soon demonstrations were made by his cavalry upon my baggage train and the batteries of artillery which returned by different routes from that taken by the army; but they were instantly checked, and, thanks to the courage and skill of Col. Stone and Maj. Wade, all the baggage and artillery joined the army in safety. So far as I can ascertain, our losses amount to about 600 killed and wounded and two hundred prisoners, and one cannon, which having become disabled, I ordered to be thrown into a ravine. The best information I can procure places his killed at more than 700, with at least an equal number of wounded. We brought away about 300 prisoners, (so that his total loss is near about 2,000,) four cannon, and ten baggag
