The galleries were crowded at six o'clock, but very few members were present, as it was known no vote would be taken till Thursday. Mr. Cravens (Ind.) said he had read Mr. Long's speech, and was unable to discover anything in it justly subjecting him to censure or dismissal. He did not believe with the gentleman in many of his conclusions. He hoped he would never arrive at the conclusions theld 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.

The following is the distribution of the fleet, recently employed there: The gunboats and mortar vessels have been withdrawn and are now at Pensacola.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 Powell with his mortar vessels and gunboats, there was perhaps no glimmer of hope in the breast of the old veteran that with these he cou

Passengers by these boats bring the report 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 assa

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 piration 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 belongi

The War in the Southwest--the reported Fights in Louisiana. The news of the Shreveport disaster seems to hang fire in New Orleans, the authorities there having closed the avenues of intelligence immediately upon the receipt of the first rumors brought down the river by the steamer Illinois. Shortly afterwards the steamer Alice Vivian came down and "confirmed" the rumors, though the reporters were afraid to say what rumors were so confirmed.

t 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 tecedent 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. Every one of the slaves of that member had a note against him with compound interest. Mr Lovejoy, thital, 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.

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.

s 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 e 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.
