old is selling at 169, but it won't take. The people won't buy them, and gold won't go down. Miscellaneous. A letter from Fortress 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.

On the 28th ult., this force encountered the rebels under Dick Taylor, estimated at twelve thousand strong, posted in an advantageous position on Cane rivere 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 to retreat. The rebels fell back in very good order, and the natu

irst be shown that peace overtures would meet with a corresponding spirit, and because he would not pursue that false light he was to be told by his colleague, Fernando Wood, that he had ceased to be a Democrat. He said that colleague, who had risen in Democratic Conventions to give the law, had expressed his willingness to let tho 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 Masrecently 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 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. Every one of the slaves of that member had a note against him with compound interest. Mr Lovejoy, the Abolitionist, had a seat in heaven, but the gentleman from Maryland would not have one near him. I would, remarked Mr Grinnell, rather say a thousand times, let the country be divided, the South go their way all slave, and the North all free, than to see the country once more under Democratic rule.

Mr. Ashley (Union, Ohio,) and Mr Wilson (Union, Iowa,) generally moved to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Cox (Dem., Ohio,) unsuccessfully appealed to the House to take a direct vote on the resolutions.

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.

Mr. Harrington, (Ind.,) in alluding to the pending resolution, characterized it as a partizan proceeding, 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

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 they never before saw su

d great fears are entertained that it will have to succumb to the pressure. The army will not be inconvenienced by these breaks, as sufficient supplies are at the front to subsist it until the roads can be repaired. An army correspondent of a New York paper says that Gen. 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.
