. . . while the rebels were being whipped at Pittsburg Landing Beauregard’s dispatch announcing the “victory” of the confederates on Sunday was read and a series of resolutions of which the floolowing was the first, were introduced in the rebel Congress:
Resolved. That Congress has learned with feelings of joy and gratitued to the Devine ruler of nations, the news of the recent glorious victory of our army in Tennessee.
The other resolutions referred to the death of Albert Sidney Johnson [sic]. The rebel Senate thought there might be some mistake in the announcement, and refused to act on the resolution. The House, however, adopted it. It is probable that the rebels at Richmond had not as “deep joy,” on Tuesday, as they had on Monday.
