THE CASE OF LONG OF OHIO.
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE FRIGATE MIR
NEBOTA,
FouruEss }forms, April 9—[Special to the
Herald.—A most desperate and daring attempt
to destroy the United States steam frigate
Minnesota, Rear Admiral Lee's flag ship, off
Newport News, was made this morning,
which, while it did not materially damage the
ship, caused considerable excitement among
the officers and crew. The facts, as near as I
can get at them, are as follows: Shortly be
fore four bells were struck the lookout observed
a small black speck approaching the Minnesota.
Thinking that it was some floating spar, he
watched it, and when it finally neared the ship
he saw that it was a boat containing three men.
he hailed them three times, and finally threat
ened to fire on them, to which they answered
derisively, “Fire and be damned." The small
boat boldly pushed on towards the frigate, and
a few moments after an exphision, similar to
the report of twenty pieces of artillery, fol
lowed. Officers and crew were tumbled out of
berths and hammocks, and the movable furni
ture of the ship rolled about in a confused
mass, while the noble vessel trembled in every
joint as if to shake off the effects of a horrible
shock of paralysis. Ai soon as order was re
stored inquiries were made by the officers as to
the cause of the disturbance, and the above
facts came to light. Orders were at once given
to pursue the daring rebels who had run the
gauntlet - of our picket boats with their infernal
machine; and when the Admiral's despatch
tug, the Poppy, lying alongside of the Minne
sota, was hailed and ordered in pursuit, the
startling answer that she had no steam up
was =returned; and the other small tugs on
picket were too far off to be of any use, as the
rebel marauders quietly and rapidly disap
peared in one of the many creeks abounding on
the banks of the James river.
The only thing that could be done was to re
pair the damage inflicted by the torpedo,
which was very trifling indeed, if we except a
few bruised heads of the men by being tumbled
out' upon the decks. The commander of the
tug was next put under arrest to answer for
his negligence in not keeping Beeitta Up on Ina
boat at all times, as required by the regulations.
A similar attempt to blow up the Roanoke,
our iron -clad, three-turreted Monitor, lying off
Newport News, was made last November, by
floating down an infernal machine, which at
the time was duly described and illustrated in
the columns of the Herald; but the vigilance
and bravery of Commodore Guert Gansevoort,
who boldly met the advancing infernal machine
with his small boats, and had it towed to the
beach and emptied of the powder it contained,
deprived the serpent of its fangs, although its
sting could not have effected much or made
any impression on the huge sides of the mon
ster Monitor.
On the whole, the intended destruction of
the Minnesota has a spice of the romantic
about it, and this second grand failure must
demonstrate to the enemy that they have by
no means brought their inventions in the way
of torpedoes to anything like a state of perfec
tion. The whole affair is wrapt up in mystery,
and no two persons attached to the Minnesota
can be found to agree in their stories, and thus
give a satisfactory account of the facts con
nected with it. There is great room for
throwing blame on somebody for gross care
lessness, and nothing short of an efficient and
thorough investigation will ever reveal the
true statement.
DESTRUCTION OF THE REBEL STEAMER
:10(0;0
NEIV Yoas, Aprill2.—A letter to the Times,
from the United States steamer Arkansas, at
New Orleans, dated the 2d inst., reports that
the reber steamer Clifton, formerly the United
States gunboat of that name, captured at Sa
bine Pass, while attempting to run the blockade
off that Pass on the night of the 21st of March
with 700 bales of eotton, got aground on the
bar, and the rebels had to burn her to prevent
her from falling into our hands. She was to
tally consumed.
A large side-wheel steamer, with 8,000 arms
for the rebel government, had run into Velas
co, after being driven off from Galveston by
our fleet.
THE GUERILLAS NEAR 0A1111):
Ciino, April 11.—Last night the guerillas
burned two houses and stole several horses on
the opposite side of the river from Cairo. A
squad was reported to have been to-day on the
Kentucky shore, between here and Columbus,
not more than 10 miles from Cairo.
Since Forrest's late operations a larger num
ber of refugees are flocking into Memphis,
awaiting transportation North, than at any
previous time since the beginning of the war.

XXXVIIITH CONGRESS-FIRST 8119SION.
WASHINGTON, April 1'2,_1864.
SarramE.- 1 ,31r. Wade (Ohio) introduced the
House bill enabling the people of Nebraska to
forma State GoNernment.
Mr. Foster (Conn. ), objected to the bill, solely on
the ground that the insignificant, poptilation of the
territory had not clearly expressed a wish to be
come a State, and the, proposed measure was a
-dicta , ion to them on the part of Congress.
Mr. Wade replied that through their representa
tive in the other House they had expressed a de
sire, as he supposed, to know and represent their
desires. The subject was then la .d over.
The Senate then proceeded to the consideration
of the Naval Appropriation Bill. The amend
ment appropriating sil34, POO for The purchase of
lands at the Charlestown, Massachusetts, Navy
Yard was adopted.
HovsE.—The House galleries, as on. Saturday
and yesterday, are densely crowded.
Mr. Stevens (Pa. ), from the Committee on Ways'
and Means, reported a bill to prevent a deprecia
hon of the currency. It provides that every per
son, bank, association or corporation issuing notes
to circulate as money, shall pay' a duty of one.
fourth of one per centum per month on the amount
issued. Monthly returns are to be made. After
one year it shall be unlawful to issue such notes
unless authorized by act of Congress.
-The consideration of the subject was postponed
The House resumed the consideration of the
resolution to expel Mr. Long.
- fur. Eldridge (Wis. ) said this resolution was
wrongfully brought here. The only object could
be to stir up strife and ill feeling at a time when
we ought not only to have good fellowship
and kind feeling, but a union of sentiment.
Referring to the constitutional provisions,
he denied the right and power of the
House to expel the gentleman from Ohio under
the resolution. They could not expel him for his
opinion's sake. The Constitution submitted no such
question. A man could not be expelled for his
opinion, but for acts. He disagreed with the gen
tleman from Ohio and also the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. Harris).
He had not come to the conclusion that Secession
is a fixed and unalterable fact, and the alternatives
mentioned by the gentleman from Ohie have not
yet been presented to the country. It is possible,
however, that they may be. He referred to the
New York Times, which says Speaker Colfax's
zeal has outrun his discretion, and that his resolu
tion is neither right nor expedient—also, to the
Evening Post, which says .that Long's speech was
a perfectly legitimate expression.
lithe war was conducted on a proper policy
the seceded States may be brought back;
but carry it on for subjugation and you
never can accomplish your purpose.
You accuse the Democrats of sympathizing
with the rebels, but you do not believe it. The
charge is made for a wicked and party purpose.
Be said the Republicans are a revolutionary party
in opinions and practice, for in overthrowing the
Constitution they overthrow the Union.
