Gen. Buckner.

In the Lincoln U. S. Senate, on the 12^th inst., Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, offered a resolution that the rebel Gen. Buckner, captured at Fort Donelson, and now prisoner at Fort Warren, ought to be transferred to the civil authorities to be tried for treason, whereof he stands indicted in the Kentucky District Court. After some discussion, during which Mr. Davis said Buckner ought not to be exchanged, but taken to Kentucky and hanged, the subject was laid aside till today.

A Federal General should be kept in reserve, to be dealt with just as the Lincolnites deal with Gen. Buckner.
