handsomely repulsed.
Our communications continne with Morehead

THE RAID ON THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO
RAILROAD.
Wheeling, Ya., Feb. 3.—General Kelley tele
graphs this afternoon to Governor Boreman that
« the rebels have been driven back from the line of
. the railroad at all points, and are now in full re
treat, vigorously pursued by onr troops.
The damage to the North Branch and Patterson
i Creek bridges is but trifling, and the Baltimore
j . and Ohio Railroad will be in working order in two
' , days.
Governor Boreman has also received a despatch
from Gallipolis; stating that the steamfer Levi,
Which left that place for Charleston, West Virginia,
last night, was captured and burned at Red House,
on the Kanawha River. Brigadier-General
Scammon and one . of his staff were taken pri
soners. The rest of the passengers and the crew
were released.
The rebels also burned the telegraph office at Red
: House.
• The telegraph is no w working ever the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
Baltimore, Feb. 3. —The most reliable ad vices
• are now that General Kelley has driven the rebels
entirely from all parts of the Baltimore and Ohio
. Railroad. Our cavalry whipped them where they
came in conflict, killed and wounded many, and
took quite a nnmbex of prisoners. The damage
done to the bridge at Patterson* s Creek was trifling,
- and will be repaired soon.
—The telegraph again works to Cumberland, and
the trains will run regularly through to-morrow
or next day. There has been no crossing ol rebels
-into Gpstern Maryland. It is believed the raids on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were to cover
-Other rebel ifiovements and for plunder.
hiEADQCHARTERS, WESTERN VIRGINIA., Feb. 3.
’ —After' we drove the enemy from the bridges,
yesterday, the rebels commenced, a rapid retreat,
-onr cavalry closely following them up, and skir
mishing ensuing.
Last flight a portion of Gen. Snllivan l s forces,
yrn attempting to cut the enemy off, encountered a
large force ot rebels in Mechanisburg Gap, near
\ -Romney, ard in the neighborhood of this gap a
\ fight took place. 'We eventually succeeded in
\ compelling the enemy to take another road to the
right, and they skedaddled with considerable pre
* engagement we took a number of pri
soners. In retreating the enemy hastened to make
a junction with the main rebel forces near Moore
fielri.
It is believed that Gen. Sullivan’s and Col.
Mulligan’B columns have formed-a junction, and
are now pursuing the rebels vigorously. If the
enemy escapes our forces he certainly will not be
able to take any large portion of plunder. .
FROM WASHINGTON.

resolution amendatory of the confiscation act.
Mr. Wadsworth (Ky. ) replied to Mr. Stevens,
maintaining that th:< 'is not a public war, as be
tween cations, but a civil war within the States.
Ee argued that the laws of war da not authorize
the conquest of individuals or private property on
land, excepting in specified cases. In the exercise
of ibe war power we cannot attack the temples of
religion and despoil the arts, and seize and confis
cate private property on land. If we do this, we
do it in the face of the Christian world, i The
States in rebelbAt are not cut of but in the Ufiion,
tjid in this tcnnec'iou be spoke of the sorejeigety
beirg In the ma?s-of the people, who hau delegated
certain powers to be exercised by Congress. ;
The House went into Com-zniue-i of the Whole on
the sta?** of the Union on the Senate bill amenda
tory of the Enrollment act.
iir. Ames Myers,‘(Pa-) said that if, as asserted
on the oth*-r sid#\ the draH was unpopular, it wai
because such tra tors as Chancey O Burr, Val
lanoigbaro, and Captain Andre ws of Virginia, tbe
copperhead oiator of New York, bad endeavored
to poison the minds of the peopie against it, their
language bring repeated on tbe floor ol this House.
He then argued the constitutional power to draft. -
E&ying that every man owes support to tbe govern
ment. and in time of trial he is bound to take up
arms in defence of tbe life of tbe Uui m. The
people have taken up arms, and have determined
that Lincoln, who/has thus far held tbe helm of
State so steadily, shall run the good ship of State
into port. Whatever politicians may say and do,
God and the people are lor Abraham Lincoln.
McClehan might have been the favorite,
if ; he had not the ’ night before
tbe Pennsylvania election changed
his base. *T hat General declared he was In favor
of tbe man Jiidge Woodward, who was for with
drawing our. troops to the north of Mason 3c
Dixon’s line,.and that soldiers had no right to
He (Mr. Myers) would confiscate the
property of rebels, now and forever. He would
place part of th£ proceeds in the treasury, and the
remainder he would parcel out to tbe brtive men
.who light our battles. After this war is over,
soraemeH would give fortunes to have their words
blotted out. Tivo clashes will have to leave the
North and go South. One of them the negro, be
cause it is too cola; and the other the copperhead,
because it is too hot. [Laughter.] He was con
fident that out of this war we would emerge
without a stain—would walk In newness of life.
Mr. Stile* (Pa.) said his colleague had delivered
a rambling tirade, which did not rise to the dignity
ol a speech. His colleague charged that Judge
Woodward had'decided that soldiers had uo right
to vote. This was not true. In the case of Miller
in.d Chase, he decided tliut soUliers lLave a right
to vote on returning to their homes, agd thin de
cision wasapipxoved by tbe people. Gnthe second,
Tuesday mv-Wtober Judge Woodward was legally
■ elected Governor of Pennsylvania, receiving two
hundred and fifty-four thousand votes; But fur
loughs were absolutely defiled t‘o soldiers who
were Democrats to return to their homes to vote,
and it was truly said that; bayonets rule, and not
the popular will. The people were opposed to
tbe cons£riptiorl\ which was a failure. By the'
legislatidn proposed the President could make the
draft perpetual. 1 It gave him absolute control.
The Provost Marshal held in his bands the liberty
of everyman, woman and child, and irom his de
cision there was no immediate appeal. Our armies
could not be filled up by "conscription, and some
other mode .must be devised. He did not believe,
with his colleague, that : the war could be
ended by (Lincoln and the Administration’s
policy.
Mr. ‘Williams (Pa.), in discussing the bill, said
that every power for the 'defence of the country
may be exercised when necessary, excepting when
expressly prohibited. If the Government can take
property for public-uses, it can take the producer
himself. AdmiUingtheduty of every man to sup
port and defend the Government, the. Tight toen
l'orce bis service is a corollary. No Government
can exisfoli the mere voluntary principle. The
principle of every law is coercion. Thnnk God,
the instincts of the people are loyal. If -it is true
JJta-ta compulsory levy is anti-republican, then
the Government is just as impossible as a war
Democrat, and must inevitably perish with the
flTßtforroidable convulsion.
- T. he Committee then voted on jand rejected Mr.
Williams’s amendment by a vote ol' yeas,2o, nays,
30, repealing so much ot the old act as authorizes
exemption from military service on the payment of
three hundred dollars.
.*. A s other ame ndment was agreed to, striking out
the lour hundred dollars commutation, and thus
leaving it three hundred dollars. «■ .
Mr. iMe.), in reply to Mr. Garfield, said
mat every cblfunntation paid has produced a man,
inemore thelWconld bo no Buch effects as the gen
tlemen bad ascribed.

DOINGS IN THE REBEL CONGRESS
WIGFALL THINKS SUBMISSION BETTES
THAN REPUDIATION.
In the rebel Seriate, on Jan. IS, while the
Impressment Law was under consideration,
Mr. Wigfall remarked that the Secretary of the
Troasury did not possess tho alchvnilKt’s power
of-making money. Every dollar ho issaes is
not only indorsed, but, practically, drawn by
the property-holders of the Country, for; upon
them will alternately fall the responsibility
of tbe redemption of the notes which hare
been issued. As soon as it became obvions
that a large army had to be fed, tho specula
tors commenced laying up provisions, and
prices rapidly advanced. Thu farmers co
operated with the speculators by taking Rich
mond prices as the prices at which they would
sell. In proportion as prices rose, the'cur
rency increased,and as the currency increased,
prices again a lvanceij. This has been con
tinued until the Government—the agent of tho
people—finds itself almost confronted with the
necessity of repudiation on the one hand, or of
bankruptcy to whole producing intrirests on the
other..
What should wc do ! (live tho best com
pensation we can, and not let our debt go on
increasing. The people, by their incontinent
madness, are- piling up Ibis 'debt, which they
have to pay, until ultimately it will topplo and
crush them under its weight.
Mr. AY. said lie would move to recommit tlio
bill to the Cormnittee with instruction:) to re
port a substitute providing for tbo paymuut of
all property • impressed, when the owner is •
satisfied with the appraisement; otherwise a
certificate of the character of tbe property
to be given him, which certilleato is
totlfc sent to the proper auditing ollioo in Rich
mond, aijd the claim allowed in its order and in
accordance with the evidence adduced. If the
question of valuation is left to neighborhood
appraisers,they would accumulate a debt that
would break down of i(s own weight. If re
pudiation is to be tho result, ho was pre
pared to lay down liis arms and sur
render at once, for the loss of liberty
would bo more tolerable titan tho less
of honor. If the country is ruined by tho in
continent madness of the people, every man of
them will bo ruined, if it is •dishonored tlioy
will ail share the dishonor. Let tho leaders of
the people und tho Press explain those matters
to tbo people, instead of telling thorn that they
will gain their independence lmt lose their lib
erties. Let Congress pass such a bill as he had
indicated, and let tho members, when they re
turn home, tell their constituents the
the hill and they, will receive the plaudit, “Woll
(lone, thou good-and faithful servant.”
Mr. HVigfu.ll then submitted the bill ho had
indicated.
Mr. Hill, in a few remarks, favored the
passage of tho pending bill to relievo existing
difficulties', Tho proposition of Mr. AVigfall
could be introduced and considered aftorward.
The question on Mr. Wigf'alPs motion was
decided in the negative.
Shooting Affray in New York. —At an
early hour yesterday morning, a shooting afTray
occurred in the drinking saloon of John H.
McKinley (who figured somewhat extensively
in the Cora Hatch McKinley case), at No. 93
South street. New York. It appears that
about G o’clock, three meri,*one white and two
colored, entered the place and called for some
drinks'. The barkeeper, Wm. Smith, refused
to supply them, stating that tlidy did not give
drinks,to colored men. A quarrel theD took
place between the men and barkeeper, which
ended in the ultimate ejection of the men from
the bar-room. Exasperated, the men returned
to the place, and another wrangle with Smith
occurred, in which it is alleged that the; latter
throw several tumblers at the straitgers. At
this juncture, one of the three men—which one
has not yet been ascertained—drew a single
barrel pistol, and fired at Smith. The ball
from the weapon entered his right breast, and
penetrating the lungs, inflicted a wound wbich
will doubtless result in liis death. Thetliree
men then left the scene of the conflict, and lied
in different directions. Officer Mulcahey, of
the 2d Precinct, attracted by the noise of. the
firing, came up and arrested ono of the men.
