Smith and Anderson; three from Maryland, Messrs. Winter Davis, Creswell, and Thomas--all three from West Virginia, and one from Virginia, Joseph Segar, met in caucus last night. The Hon. Justin P. Morrill presided, and Messrs. Rollins, of New Hampshire, and Soyd, of Missouri, acted as Secretaries. The Hon. G. S. Orth, of Indiana, nominated the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of the State, for Speaker. The Hon. H M. Dawes, of Mass., nominated the Hon. Elihu. B. Washburne, of Illinois.

Mr. Fink, of Ohio, offered similar resolutions, which laid over under the rule. Mr. Rollins, (Dem.,) of Missouri, submitted the following: Resolved, That, prompted by a just patriotism, we are in favor of an earnest and successful prosecution of the war, and that we will give a warm and hearty support to all those measures which will be most effective in speedily overcoming the rebellion, and in securing a restoration of peace, and which may not substantially infringe the Constitution and tend to subvert the true theory and character of the Government; and we hereby reiter

Mr Eldridge said he would move that the galleries be cleared if any further disturbance occurred. The Speaker pro tem. (Mr Rollins, N. H.) directed the doorkeepers to remove from the galleries persons who might repeat the disturbance.

, it is now thought, be abandoned. The Yankees on slavery. The debates in the Yankee Congress on the abolition of slavery by an amendment to the Constitution are drawing to a close. In the last proceedings, we find the following: Mr. Rollins (Missouri) said, at the last session he voted against the proposed amendment, but when the question shall again be taken, he intended to record his name in the affirmative. He had changed his views with reference to the expediency of the measri in abolishing slavery. We can never have a peace until we, in some way, dispose of that institution.

Mr. Rollins was applauded at the conclusion of his remarks, which extended over two hours. Mr. Garfield alluded to the progress of emancipation.
