The steamship Morning Star left New Orleans on the 15th for New York. General Canby is near Mobile, anda grand attack will certainly be made soon. General Granger, it is expected, will have command of the force. Kirby Smith is still at Shreveport. General Buckner is at Natchitoches, and General Thomas is at Alexandria, with their respective forces, awaiting an attack from onr troops. Judge Grav, of Texas, a lawyer, has been sent by the Richmond authorities to the Trans- Mississippi Department, to take charge of the cotton trade. He announces that-no cotton shall leave his department unless the 25 per cent assessed by the Federal Government is taken off. - Generals Canby, Granger, and Baldy Smith, and Admiral Thatcher, went within four miles of Mobile last week,and drew a heavy fire from many batteries.

The Reported Victery in North Carolina. {From the Richmond Whig, March 21.) The telegram conveys highly cheering news, as it afeures us that come portion of the Yankee force which has heen striding through the Caro- linas without formidable resistance, has at Jength met with a decided check. * The despatch doés pot inform us whether the column encountered was Sherman’s or Scbo- field’s, and our previous information trom North Carolina does net enlighten us on this joint. Bentonville, near which the conflictoccurred, is asmall village in Johnson county, three miles west of the Neuse river, and some thirty miles southeast of Raleigh. We know that Sherman was at Fayetteville some days ag), and as Fayetteville isa littie west of due south of Raleigh, the presumption is that Sherman diverged trom the ctraightline to Raleigh, and moved towards the Neuse for the PREpOte, of forming a junction with Scho- fleld, who was supposed to be marching from Kinston towards Goldsborough, for the purpose of forming @ junction with Sherman. Benton- ville is fifteen miles west of Goldsborough. It may, therefore, have been either colamn; bat the probabilities are that the enemy’s main army, noder Shermsn, was struck by the Con- federate forces, wha were concentrated, we suppose, and led against the advancing column meer the immediate command of Gen. John- ston. et ‘The attack was evidently bold and vigorous; and im one hour’s time the enemy’s advance was hurled back in confusion upon the ps in the rear. To this extent it was ‘‘a rout.” The approach of night and the densely wooded character of the country prevented General Johnston from following up the ad- vantage gained as completely as he would otherwiee have done. Very little artillery was used ‘on either side, hence only three guns were captured by the Confederates during the flight of the enemy. The effort to change the fortnhesof the battle with fresh troops was unavailing. Still the Confederates pressed on, aud the Yankees re- ceded befor? the bayonets of our brave men, until the accessions of additional divisions from the rear enabled the enemy to make some re- sistance, which does not appear to have been very vigorous or effective. Darkness caused a suspenston of hostilities, and our troops remained masters ef the field. They feught bravely, and sustained bat slight loss. The enemy must have lost heavily. During the night the Yankees threw up in- trenchments, which is asure indication of their discomfiture. One thing is certain; we have gained an im- portant success, and the whole country will award merited praise and honor to Ganeral Johnston and his heroic army. The Richmond and Petersburg Line. [From Richmond Dispatch, March 21.} Everything waa unusually qnieton this side of the James yesterday.

Last Hours of the Rebel Congress. On Saturday, the 19th, the following pro- ceedings took piace in the Uonfederate Senate: COMNITTEE TD WAIT ON THE PRESIDENT. On motion,a committee of three, composed of Messrs. Watson of Mississippi, Oldham of ‘Texas, and Henry of Tennessee. was appointed to wait upon the President and notify him, if he had no further communication to make, that the Senate was now ready to adjourn, THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE. The committee then wilbdrew, and after an absence of half an hourgeturned, when Mr. Watsen said—Mr. President—The joint committee charged wiih that duty have waited upon the President of the Confederate States and informed him that, unless he had some further communication to make to Congress, that body was now ready to adjoarn. In re- ly, the President, in substance, stated that he bed no turther communicaiion to make to Congress; that, in his recent message, he had fully explained his views as to the legisiation for which the state of the country called; that so faras Congress had net acquiesced in his opinions he hoped thatit would turn out that he was mistaken; that to the full extent of his powers and the resources placed at his dis~ posal, all might feel assured of his purpose faithfully to defend and protect the ceuntry. He boped that all the members of the two Houses might sately reach their homes, and that they and their families and their common country might continue to experience the pro- tection and favor of Heaven. REPLY OF THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE TO JEFF DAVIS’ MESSAGER. The Richmond papers ot Monday last pnb- lith the reply of the Senate Select Committee to Jeff. Davie’ recent message, which charged Congress with dilitariness, refusing to arm the negroes, ete. Thereply is very severe. The Senaters tell Davis that, not at their door, bat at the aoor of the Executive lies the blame of having delayed the arming of the negroes. They remind him that, only as late as Novem- ber Test, he spoke of employing 40,000 negrees for mere drudgery in the camps, all that ‘was required, and the necessity for arm- ing tbe slaves as an “imprébable con- tingency.’; They ack him sneeringly to tell them when he diecovered that this “improbable contingency” had arisem. They charge him with being ‘‘tardy in his movements” and al- lege that they were compelled from a sense of im pending peril and ruin to anticipate his 8e- tion. ‘They say that they deliberately refased to pags the general militia law he asked for, because there was no moré military material left to be embraced by new conscription acts. Davia’ suggestion to get provisions for thearmy by impressment, they say, would be resisted b the people, as they will no longer take Confed- erate promises to pay on account since the re- verses of the Rebel troops have made the Uom- federate bonds unsalable. The tax bill pro- posed to them t@ey refused to pass, hecause it Would have left the farmers without the means of subsistence. And the currency _Measure suggested by Davis’ Financial Seere~ tary, the Senate threw ont, with no regret, om discovering that they had been deceived in regard to the indebtedness of the Contederac: to the tune of $400,060,000. Portions of the reply are very sarcastic, the Senators demand- ing to know whether the Confederate reverses: of the year could have been avoided by a sus- ensfon of the habeas corpus, and remioding avis that after a certain iime they formed their conclusions mainly under the influence ef General Lee’s opinions; and that they passed essential measures—among others that which transferred the supreme military command to Lee—without any hint or encouragement trom the Executive. They charge Davis with an abuse of power in detailing conscripts from actual service, while clamoring for more right conscription |. at the hand of his Congress. ict Between Jeff ingress. [From Richmond Whig, March 29.} The trite adage, that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, is eminently illustrated in the last special message of the President arraigning the Congress for delin- quencies and delays, and the responee of the Senate through the document which we print this morning. It was a bazardons issue for the Executive to make, whether the public in- terest had |suffered, or was liable to suffer, most from defective legislation or from faulty administ; ation, for, without discussion or de- tence from Congress, the public could not, by special allegations and impeachments against tha: body, be made to forget that it had long since pluced, the whole war making power of the country at the disposal of the executive. This being done, nearly 4ll had veen done tuat was in the power of Congress. _If the result did not answer public expecta- tion, it must have been either becanse the means confided to the Executive were inade- uate, or because they were not developed to their fullest capacity, or used with the judg- nent and skill demanded. It has never peen intimated by the Executive thatthe resources: of the country,in men and suppl are un- equalto the emergency. On the ctateacee it has been repeatedly asserted from that quar- ter that they are ap le Acoepting the assue Trance as correct, and knowing that the Exeeue tive has been armed with the power of come scription and the power of impressment, the common sense of the people woald impel them irresistibly to search for th? cause of disap- pointments and failures in the conduct of those whose duty it was to marshal and direct the resources — by the coun!ry and author- ized to be used by the Congréss.
