e enemy has been crushed in the front attention will be paid to 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

A dispatch from Provost Marshal General Fry to Provost Marshal Alexander, of this State, says Lieut. Gen. Grant directs active measures to be immediately taken to get into the field all recruits of the new organization and the old troops of Missouri. The troops will rendezvous at Louisville. Gen. Sherman, in a dispatch to the Governor of Missouri on the same subject, says the War Department has given him the control of all the veterans now absent, and requests him to have them sent toMissouri on the same subject, says the War Department has given him the control of all the veterans now absent, and requests him to have them sent to the front immediately upon the expiration of their furloughs. No excuse will be taken for delay, and commanders of regiments will be held to strict accountability for absence of a single day. Gen. Sherman says now is the time, if ever, when the soldier should be in his place, three hundred men in time being better than a thousand too late. All regiments belonging to the armies of the Ohio and Cumberland go to Nashville, and those of the army of Tennessee go to Cairo, where they will receive f

rhaps no glimmer of hope in the breast of the old veteran that with these he could capture Mobile as he captured New Orleans. He could not pass the forts as he passed Forts Jackson and Philip, owing 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. Report of Official Corruption by Gov. Pierpont. Gov. Pierpont, the Union Governor of Virginia, says a Washington letter, is now engaged upon a report, to be presented to the President, Congress, and the world, in which will be shown up some of the most nefarious transactions of the Federal authorities in Alexandria, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, which ever disgraced the history of any nation.--The report will be accompanied by documentary evidence as damning as it is con

that a battle had taken place between the opposing armies in Western Louisiana, of which we glean the annexed interesting details: The Union forces consisted of eight thousand infantry, belonging to the Seventeenth army corps, under General Mower, and Dudley's brigade, of Gen. Lee's cavalry corps, the whole under the command of Gen. A. J. Smith. On the 28th ult., this force encountered the rebels under Dick Taylor, estimated at twelve thousand strong, posted in an advantageous position on Cane river, some thirty-five miles above Alexandria, and a fight ensued of nearly three hours duration. The infantry thrown out as skirmishers did the greater part of the fighting, and inflicted quite a heavy loss upon the enemy, who were concentrated to resist an anticipated assault from our whole force. After the position of the enemy had been well ascertained, a general advance was ordered by Smith, and made with a cheer. The rebels wavered at this demonstration, and after a few volleys began t

ng, and not prompted by patriotism. His colleague, Mr Colfax, had not only descended from his high position, but had at once become the accuser and the prosecutor of the gentleman from Ohio. In the course of his remarks he said the people of New England have no stomach for fighting. This called up Mr. Boutwell, (Mass,) who asked him what authority he had for the assertion. Mr. Harrington replied he had judged such to be the case from the fact that Massachusetts has agents in Indianacould draft without producing a mob. Mr Harrington said the name of Indiana was written on every battle field. While Mr. Harrington was speaking there was some hissing in the galleries. Mr Eldridge said they had suffered enough from New England men in the galleries, and their breach of order ought to be prevented. Some one asked how he knew they were New Englanders. Mr Holman said there was ample power for the Chair to suppress such disturbances. Mr Eldridge said he would

Monroe, April 7, speaks of a gunboat expedition up the Chickahominy, and says: The object of the expedition, which penetrated to within about fifteen miles of the rebel capital, was for secret purposes of the utmost importance, and was faithfully performed throughout. What ever it may have been, the officers concerned in it, viz: Capt Harris, Lieut Chambers, and Lieut Bladenhauser, deserve great credit for the prompt and fearless execution of the General's orders. In the Coles county (Illinois) rebellion eight lives were lost in the affray, and twenty-five prisoners are in custody. Those, it is said, will be turned over to the civil authorities, to be tried for riot and murder, the circumstances not being regarded such as to justify a military trial, or a trial for treason in the United States Courts. The 54th regiment, whose members were the objects of attack, and five of whom were killed, have offered a reward of $1,000 for those at large who were engaged in the affair

Mr. Harrington replied he had judged such to be the case from the fact that Massachusetts has agents in Indiana recruiting negroes to fill up the quota of that Statework in his own town, and the negroes thus gathered said they were going to Massachusetts. Mr. Boutwell observed that Massachusetts had less to fear from secessMassachusetts had less to fear from secession than any other State, because of her isolation, and having two thirds of the maritime power of the continent. The men of that State rallied to the defence of thction. 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 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 o

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 vessels have been withdrawn and are now at Pensacola. The Cowslip and Metacomet are blockading in the Sound. The rebels are building docks around the Tennessee for the purpose of lightening her over Dog River Bar. The Nashville is nearly completed. She will not be such a formidable appearing monster as the Tennessee. On Sunday, March 29, a picket boat belonging to the enemy, was captured by the Jackson. In it were five men 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

the road say that they never before saw such a flood. The railroad bridges are very badly damaged, and the communication with the army by rail has been broken. The bridge over Bull Run, near Union Mills, is entirely gone this morning. This structure was one hundred and fifty feet long, and some thirty-five feet above the bed of the stream. Its loss is a gain to the Government, as a new one is already framed, and ready for raising as soon as the water subsides. The bridge over Broad Run at Bristol Station is but slightly injured, and will be easily repaired.--The bridge over Kettle Run, two miles west of Bristol, has moved down stream about two feet.--This structure is about eighty feet long and sixty feet high, and is an ugly customer. The Rappahannock bridge is safe as yet, though large quantities of drill wood have accumulated above it, and great fears are entertained that it will have to succumb to the pressure. The army will not be inconvenienced by these brea
