ssachusetts had no stomach for the fight. Mr. Boutwell having been appealed to, Mr. Grinnell said that Mr. Harrington first said that the soldiers of Massachusetts have no stomach for the fight, and next the people, and in the third place the representatives on this floor. Mr Grinnell repelled the base slanders on New England, and remarked that the Western soldiers think that the soldiers from that section fight as well as any others. He referred to the action of the House in 1842, when Joshua R Giddings was censured for offering resolutions declaring that the slaves of the Creole had a right to rise and assert their native freedom. The Democrats voted in a solid body for it, and he reproduced the case as a Democratic precedent in regard to an Abolitionist. We do not hear so much of the crack of the slaveholder's whip as we did four years ago. The gentleman, from Maryland, (Mr Harris) said that he was willing to take all the sins of slavery.

e constitutional two thirds to expel the member, and as he could not be gratified in having him expelled, must be content to get a resolution of censure. The Democratic party had drifted to the position of Mr. Long, of Ohio, and Harris, of Maryland. They had been so used to running in the old Democratic harness, on the Democratic track, that all the Republican side could urge failed to switch them off. President Buchanan laid down the same doctrine as the member from Ohio, and so said Jefferson Davis. He was glad there had been some improvement, for many Democrats do believe there is power to coerce evil doers to good behaviour under the Constitution. This discussion showed where the dividing line is to be drawn. Mr. Winfield, (N Y,) said there always had been and always would be War Democrats. When assailed in the past they had always been on the side of the country to the extent of the last dollar and the last available means. This war had not been precipitated on the cou

o the enemy in the rear. These things had a tendency to divide the people and protract the war. The unity of the people was more important than a party triumph for four years. Mr. Winfield referred to the unjust remarks frequently applied to Gov. Seymour, and defended that gentleman, showing that he had always advocated force to put down the rebellion, and that on every call of patriotism he was always in the right. Mr. Grinnell (Iowa) referred to the Democratic party as the sick man of 1864. It was too far gone for any medicine yet discovered to cure it. He protested against Mr. Winfield turning over Fernando Wood to the Republican party. They had done nothing to justify such a terrible infliction. The gentleman from Indiana (Mr Harrington) had said the soldiers of Massachusetts had no stomach for the fight. Mr. Holman (Ind) remarked that his colleague did not say the soldiers, but that the representatives of Massachusetts had no stomach for the fight. Mr. Boutwell

that should not separate them in the common effort to bring the war to a close. It had become a common threat to speak of Democrats as sympathizers with the rebellion and say that after the enemy has been crushed in the front attention will be paid to the enemy in the rear.

Sheridan has assumed command of the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac.--Gen. Kilpatrick has been relieved of the command of the 3d division, and Gen. Wilson, recently of the Cavalry Bureau, assumes command. Gen. Tolbert has also been ordered to relieve Gen. Merritt, of the 1st division. Gen. Merritt will have command of the brigade of regulars. It is rumored that Gen. Kilpatrick will also command a brigade in the 1st division. The 2d division, commanded by Gen. Gregg, remains the same.

The question was then taken on the motion to lay the resolutions on the table, and carried by yeas 81, nays 64. Matters in the Army of the Potomac--the late Rains —— active operations soon to be Commenced. The telegrams from the Army of the Potomac say that the orders recently issued by Gen. Grant are regarded as significant of early and active operations. A letter from the army says Generals Meade, Humphreys, Ingalls, and Patrick, visited Lieutenant General Grant at Culpeper on Friday. The army has been considerably strengthened, and "the men are anxious for active operations." A dispatch, dated the 10th, adds: The rain yesterday and last night was the most destructive to the railroad of the season. The streams between this place and the Army of the Potomac, which were already very high, were swollen beyond all precedent. Old citizens along the line of the road say that t

all of a sudden, without reaching the grand result in the regular way, by the sweat of the face. Raising the "siege" of Mobile. The siege of Mobile by Farragut's iron-clads is definitely announced to have been raised. The following is the distribution of the fleet, recently employed there: The gunboats and mortar en and an officer, (master's mate.)--The boat, officer and men belonged to the rebel gunboat Selma. A letter thus explains the withdrawal: Although Admiral Farragut remained with his fleet after it was known that Sherman had returned to Vicksburg, engaging Fort Powell with his mortar vessels and gunboats, there was perhag to the shallowness of the water and the nature of the obstructions placed in the channel in every direction. Mobile must be taken by a land attack, or Admiral Farragut must have two or three iron-clads, if for no other purpose than to guard his fleet from the attack of the formidable rams Tennessee and Nashville.

Eighty three steamers, carrying 40,000 tons of public stores, have reached Nashville, Tenn, making in all two hundred thousand tons of stores accumulated there. A fire, destroying $50,000 worth of property, occurred at Harrodsburg, Ky., last week. Ex-Gov. Magoffin and Dr Smalley being the principal losers. By a late arrival from Havana it is ascertained that the Confederate steamer Florida was recently at Canary Islands, on the coast of Africa. The prize steamer Pet, captured off Wilmington, sold at auction at Boston on the 9th for $35,000. Fernando Wood resumed his seat in Congress Saturday, after a severe attack of sickness. The Maple Leaf was the steamer blown up by a torpedo in Florida. Four lives were lost. Gen. Grant has been in consultation with Burnside at Washington.

The alarm lately experienced in the city was sudsiding Preparations, however, were making to receive the enemy, should he venture. The rebels under McCrea, are reported concentrating in force at Augusta, on White river, one hundred miles above Ball's Bluff. They had driven out the small garrison on duty there, compelling them to retire to the gunboats. Measures were immediately taken to fortify Duvall's Bluff. The selling of U. S. Gold certificates in New York. The reason why Chase's gold certificates don't go off in New York is that they are not redeemable in gold — they are only receivable for Custom-House dues. The people don't want any such certificates; they want the gold itself to send off to Europe, and thereby provide against the impending smash in Yankee money affairs. Assistant Treasurer Cisco offers his gold certificates in New York at 165, when gold is selling at 169, but it won't take. The people won't buy them, and gold won't go down. Miscellaneou
