(Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune } Catno, Feb. 28 —Advices from the neighbor- Rood of Murfreesboro’ state that the rebels con- eentrated at that place have been surrounded by Generel Buell's forces, so that noae could scape. The rebels offered to surrender the position to the Federal troops, if they would be allowed to merch cut with the honors of war. General Buell refused to allow them these conditions, and demanded their unconditional surrender. He notified them that he would allow two days for consideration, and if the Place was not surrendered at the expiration of that period he would open fire upon then. The time expired this morning. (We ascertained, yesterday, that General Buell lost no time whatever at Nashville, but instantly continued the pursuit of the flying enemy, in the irection of Murfreesboro’, leaving but a guard at Nashville. We donot credit this story that he consented to give the rebels two days ir which really to prepare to resist him. If he is fairly up ‘with them tuere by this morning, he will doubt- less make short work of thetr defenses. Any de- lay between the eppearance of his advance befcre Murfreesboro’ and bis attack was, we take it for granted, occasioned by a necessity of waiting for bis main body te come up—not by a willingness to grant the rebels a moment more time than he could possibly avo’ BRAONEOUS STATEMENTS CORRECTED.

Sovett Se nt jsurpation—Mare ‘Within a few days past Senator Wilson has in- troduced In the Senate a bill to repeal what he terms the black laws cf this District ; in other words, to abrogate the old Maryland laws in ref- erence to negroes, which have been in force here since the District was first ceded to the Federal Government. It would have been well if the Senator, and those who have united with him in the how! against the United States Marshal of the District, bad made this motion before beginning their wanton and unjust altack upon a public offi- cer, whose only offense consisted in permitting his subordinates to execute laws which wefe upon the statute-book. and had been enforced, day after day, during all the years these Senators bave been acting as legislators for the District. They have at last reached the point where they should have begun their correction of abuses, on account of which they alone are censurable (for having so long permitted them to exist ) In the mean time, however, gressand glaring injustice has been done to the Marshal. Upon testimony proved to be utterly irres mnsible, ma- licious and false, be has been publicly charged by honorable Senators with offenses of which he is a8 guiltless as themselves; less guilty, in fact than they, who bave for years failed to avail themseives of the opportunity to repeal obnoxious laws which he was bound by his oath of office to execute. and for the performance of whica duty he bas been, as it were, convicted upon false tes- timony, without a trial or an opportunity to be heard in his own defense—e pv eee accorded by the laws to the veriest criminal {n the land. Since the exposition of the groundlessness of the charges preferred against Ma 1 Lamon, the Senators who have joined in this inexcusable Persecution should blush for their course in the Premises. He had been regularly appointed and confirmed by the Senate. If any charge against him sufficient to warrant bis removal exist, the laws provide a mode which it may be done. But Senators have been found whose intemperate zeal in striking at all nearly connected wit present Administration, has induced them to re- sort to means for the accomplishment of their purposes which they caonot fail to condemn es outrageous and infamous, if employed by any otbers than themselves. The animus of this assanit upon the Marsbal is manifested in the following extract from the speech of Senator Sumner upon the bill to ap- point a Warden to the fail: ‘If the President allows him to continue, it belongs to the Senate to take such steps as are in its power to see that be is removed. Therefore, I say, the Committee on the District of Columbia have not done their full duty. The chairman will pardon me He ought to have reported a Dill to aboltsh the office in this District, so that the Marshal should have ceased to hold any office under the Government. Another bill might promptly have been introduced creating the office anew; and then we should have a Marshal who would have the approbation of the Senate.”” ‘There is in the history of the Government no precedent for such an attempt to usurp the Powers and privileges of the executive and judicial branches of the Government. The Lond po may well stand aghast when such an avowal can be made by a Senator upon the floor of the Senate, ofa deliberate intention to evade law and outrage eee for the simple gratification of partizan ostility. It is now apparent that this {x the whole and only cause of the recent assault upon the Marshal. It was based ostensibly upon representations made by an individual whose statements have been proved false by sworn and reputable testi- mony, and who has himeelf been proved guilty of the very offenses he maliciously ascribed to the Marshal. The falsity of the charges preferred by Ammon Duvall against Col. Lamon fave already been conclusively shown. There remains to be disposed of only the single point dwelt on by Senator Wilson, of the alleged illegal imprison- ment and rendition of a negro rom Charles county, Maryland, and the process of “cobbing”’ resorted to at the ‘ae as a punishment for an attempt to break jail. As will be seen from the following affidavits, the attempts to raise a hue and cry against the Marshal on this account {s purely factitious. The negro alluded to was arrested not simply as a fagitive from service, but as a fugitive Uaoge! hecrprag upon the applica- tion of the sberiff of Charles county, Maryland, in whose custody he had been ee charged with a criminal offense—an assault with intent to kill, and from which custody he had escaped by breaking jail: District of Columbia, Washington county, to wi I, John H. Wise, of the city of Washing- ton, do, on my oath, say, that sometime in No- vember last I was informed, and also saw in the paper published at Port Tobacco, Mar, land, that @ negro slave named Abraham Taylor, t!

The commitment, which is at the jail, will show the date, and the cause of commitment. The commitment isin the name of John Hawkins. I gave notice to the Sheriff, or late Seriff of Charles county, and subsequently the present Sheriff of that county came here, identified him, and precured an order for his release, and at the same time paid the jail fees and the reward for his apprebension to myself, and I divided it among the guard at the jafl, including Mr. Ammon Duval and George Fayman. He was then taken off the jail list and taken away by the Sheriff. set left the jail to precure passes to enable them to take the negro back to Port Tobacco.

Either the rope was not lon enough or it broke and he fell, which aroused the atten- tion of the guard. 1 was not at tie jail, and the account I have given of his escape is from hear- say, 88 also what follows. Mr. McGowan and Mr. Duval were the first of the guards who reached him, and found him within the enclosure, but some distance from the jail. secreted behind a box.

I hed the negroes punished by tying their hands arounda barrel They were stri and whi, on their posteriors with a pad le, but not with any undueseverity. then put them back into the cell. Last Mon- day, Mr. Wheeler, the ex-Sheriff of Charles coun- Da and who was Sheriff, (as I understood,) when ‘aylor made his escape, came to the jail and claimed him. He asked me to carry or sead him to Baltimore. Lagreed todo so. On Tuesday morning, I paid Nr. Ammon Duval $5 for his services; with his assistance took Taylor to the cars in berg and thence I took him to Balti- more, and by Mr. Wheeler’s direction, deposited abate the private jallof Mr. Campbell at that place.
