The East Tennessee Regiment of Vol.
unteeis, which left Knoxvillo some three
or four weeks since for Mexico,, had quite
an eventful time in the beginning of their
semce. ihey are likely to get a peep at
the 4,Elephant"'before ihey gel to Mexico.
The following account ol their mishap in
passing the Miwde Shoals, we lake from a
etler in the Knoxvillo Register, dated
Flo'ence, A In., Dec. 20:, 1847.
"Our detachment commenced descen
ding the. Muscle Shoals on the morning of
the 17th inst., the two boats lashed to
gether, directed by two of iho best pilots
on -the river. We passed lhruu"h the
Shoals without any d.-im ig-, until wo ar.
rived at what is called the "Big Jump "
just below which ono of our bonis struck a
drift, which threw us round slightly, und
the river boiiig higher than it hits been
known to be for manv years, in spite of
the' skill of our pilot we were throwq into
a sluice just wide enough for the boats to
pass, and in which tho water was running
at the rate of t weniy miles per hour. " The
elt hand bo il (Capt. Reese s) soon struck
dim and tree, which crushed in the
hole top" of the boat, instamlv killing ono
of the. men, Thomns Jones, sr. Then the
steering oars were raked off with a tre
rriendous sweep-, knocking down several
persons. The right hand boat, N Captain
Vaughn s (upon tiio top of whicl-l was
standing, together wiih Gen. -French,)
wn struck the opposite side, knocking off
its steering oar. 1( is impossible to de
scribe tho sceno" as we went tvliirlinj!
through, striking opposite banks. The
men were constantly jumping off I sprang
into tho fork of a tree near the b uik of a
small island, believing, as I did, hut both
bouts would b' erushed. Others jumped
into the same tree with me. Ono poor
ellow for some time hung by a broken"
limb, crving but for help, but htf"finally
succeeded in getting up; and at Just we all
reaihed hint'. I here were fourteen ol
us. -
Sumo twenty five were swept ovei board
and presented to lis an awful iipjn arann
Some were clinging to tho idf tbi
boats, and others were swimming to the
and, which ihey .w.i:r? marrelyub'H -t

on" few planks, which he hud itw pre
'iwnceNjf mind to tie together with bis m ck
cloth. Both boats were perfect wrecks.
Thomas Jones, jr., was swept overboard,
and has not been heard of since.
I is tTOly -Mowishing t Itwl-weeseaped-
with the loss of only tw( men. Only one
boat has ever been in ihev sluice belore,
and il was stove to pieces, and all of the
family on board were drowned. iou may
well imagine what were our feeling when
it seemed lhar, in all human probability,
many of our men would be lost. But to
return to the condition ot Ihe tourtecn on
the Island .
We were on 'it some twenty six hours
part of ihe time wet and with .ut fire,
and all the time .without trnything to eat
save an old pumpkin which had lodged on
oursbore. Fire was, afterwards thrown
to us, and at length our friends succeeded,
by great efforts, in getting us to tho main
land.
I ncleetcd to siy that Lieut. Colonel
Bounds was knocked down at tho" crushing
of one of the boats, and alter it passu

Thia was the day, in course, fur the re
ception of such Resolutions as give rise to
no ckbatet .
A great buoibor was presented in the
(louse, and. many of them relating to pub
lic as weij os local masters. '
Sianton, of T,eDO submitted a resolu
tion calling for the correspondence between
this Government and that of Great Brit
ain, in relation to the subject of reciproci
ty in commerce. .
Mr. S. staled that jliere was such a cor
respondence, and that the Secretary of
Stale would not object to its publication..
Richardson, of Illinois, iho successor ofi
Douglass, offered a resolution approving ol
the President s policy in regard to the
Mexican war, and it raised a flume in the
House at once. Bolts moved to lay it on
the table. A motion to adjourn was then
undo and rejected by a majority of two,
t)0to93. 1'. was evident that this was
something of a test vole ns to the opinions
of the House on this question. The dem
ocrats were determined to force the pas
sage of tho resolution, settling the whole
Mexican question at once, so fur as the
sentiment of tha House was concerned. -
Tho Whigs resorted to parliamentary"
tactics to s'.iS've of tho vote till ihey could
collect their whole strength.'
With this view, Schencl-moved a call
of the House; ' after which the majority
yielded to a motion of adjournment.
Calhoun s resoluiions in regard to the
objects of prosecuting the war, have been
made thu speciul order of tho day for the
second Tuesday "of January. So the sub
ject will then bo fully discussed.
Calhoun explained in reply to Allen,
that in resisting the conquest and incorpo
ration of all Mexico, he did not intend to
oppose the acquisition of sumo portion of
it, in tho ultimate adjustment of bound j.
riea. I may here add that Calhoun has
slated to his Iriends, in conversation, that
he has not relinquished his Hue policy and
that be considers these resolutions as con
sistent wiih that policy,,.
Cass opposed the moHun to make the
resolutions the special order, on the alleged
ground that they arenot prncticaU i.v-
ery man, wnm in anu cjiuo, n s ua, Knew
what was ihe olj -ct of the war it was to
i . . i
cmimier a peace id ooiain peace wun in
demnity. To di -cuss a merely speculative
proposiiion like that of iho Senator from
S. (J. wouli' be ol : no use'. " x
Calhoun's view of the matter was that,
in the progress of events, to which he look
ed, it would require tha greatest possible
caution to avoid tho consequences of the
war which his resolutions deprecated,. Wi
llow fell the evil of having gone into the
war without"- a declaration ol war. We
had recognized,. tl)i? rwart withoutnny dis .
linct. purpose or object, ft was nw time,
while public opinion was yet sound, to
make at least a negative declaration us to
the objects of the war. ,Wo could at least
disclaim the purpose of conquering Mex
ico. ' ' .
Niles concurred with Calhoun, and he
remarked thai it was the prevailing senti-,
rnent in the army that ihe war was to rmf
otdy with the ronquesl of nil Mexico, and
Ibis was a sentiment thai would soon pro-
va il "M'h th" infla of our people, "lie, did

Washington, Dec. 22, 1847.
Both Houses will adjourn over -to Mon
day from to-morrow, and the near ap
proach of ihe holidays somewhat represses
the ardor for debate. But there was a
strong demonstration in tho House, to-day,
of a dinposciion to pkniyo at " once into
the genera! and full discussion ol some of
ihe mnin topics of the President's message.
Clingman, of N. C, offered an amend
ment to the Kesoluiions uistnbuiing-Jhe
message," but only us a peg to hang a
speecn upon. I lis argument wasuirecieu
against ihe Wilmot PruvUf or any Jioa'if
policy ihat would deny to the slave holding
Slates a full participation in all the benefit
of the acquisition of new territory. He
withdrew his motion after- making the
peee'h. But he declared lo llieNoi lh that
ihe South would not submit.- ro this in-
justice, and wli.il she would do in case n
were nttempied, he would not say, lof he
was not commissioned to speak for tho
South; but he would undertake to declare
hat iho South would not be the greatest
user by the dissolution of iho Union.; ..
This speech is from a bouihero whig,

against the rule excluding sbohiion, pell
