BY TELEGRAPH. THE LATEST NEWS. INTERESING, ACCOUNTS PROM WASHINGTON. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. To-Day's Proceedings in Congress and lAgislature. PROM WASHINGTON.. " IBy the Inland and. Independent Telegraph Line. I W.ARIIINGTON, May 4.—Late Richmond papers ,reeeived here endeavor to make light of the massacre of colored soldiers at Fort Pillow. The articles are written in a, jesting, vein. No ex cuse is' offered to palliate the fearful offence against the laws of war, but the editorials are an attempt to be witty and facetious over a horrible crime, which they evidently fear will lead to:retaliation. This is shown 'by threats slyly introduced as to what will be done when word is received that their troops receive a like ' fate. Bishop SimpFon, of the Methodist Church, has been invited to preach in the House of Representatives next Sunday morning, by, a umber of distinguished gentlemen. The superior business tact of Massachusetts emissaries here has resulted in their securing a large number of Pennsylvania veterans to fill up the Massachusetts quota. FROM MEXICO.

A resolution to inquire into the expediencyof so changing tbe Discipline that the Bishop cannot appoint a Presiding Elder more than four years in Eight to that office, was offered and referred to the committee on Revisals. Rev. Mr Thornton offered an - apology for the absence of his colleague, Rev. Mr.: Pope, -who is detained on account of serious illness in his family in England. He also requested the body to ap point a Delegate to. the 'Wesleyan body; and pro mised such greeting and welcome, to him as would show, the estimate they place upon the M. E. Church in the United States. , • The Rev. Mr. Scott, the. Delegate from the Irish Conference, then proceeded to address the Con ference. In the opening. of his addresi he referred to a former official visit which he, made to the General Conference in the year 1850, and the death of some valuable men who were then present. The apos tolical Rev. Bishop Warigh, the amiable arid eloqitent John A. Collins; the venerable Father. Finley, of the West, and Many others had passed away, but now their places as lie believed wore fully filled by other good men. He congratulated the body upon the position the church had taken in favor of liberty, unity, and peace; and - assured the American church, that in Ireland there are constant prayers ascending' , to the God" of our Fathers ' for their beloved brethren who are in• volved in the strife for the life of the Republic.. A hearty sympathy is felt , thoughout that entire country for this. He alluded to the financial con dition of the Irish Wesleyan Caurch, and to the comparatively crippled condition of the finances owing to the vast emigration from that country. Never Was emigration so great as during the laSt three months He would therefore suggest that the American Church should help them. One hurt _tired thousand dollars have been pledgedeight years ago out of which 542,000 has been paid.' By the lib°. rality of the M. E. Church much good ,had been accomplished for Ireland, and he hoped that the whole 6100,000 might be completed within two years, so that the plan that they had formed might be fully perfected..

Rev. Mr. Riley, of Baltimore, moved that a Committee of Seven, on the State of the Colored Members of the Church, be appointed. The mo tion he advocated in a speech of great cleareess and force. Rev. Dr. Curry made an address, which was very feebly applauded when he alleyoke in favor, of having cc lored Ministers in la Conferences. He was opposed to the formation of separate Con ferences for the colored people. They must be brought into close connection with the white pepu lation, he thought. - - . Rev. Er. Bloody thought that God Almighty is going to give us an exodus of the whole colored concern to South America. After we grit this' lit, tie family difficulty settled and the funeral over, we will then push on to the isthmus of South America, clear out Mexico and give the people of color a pre-emption right to that territory. • During the speech of Dr. the greatest ex • citemeitt prevailed and 'when he sat down the reso lution of Mr. Riley was adopted - almost by melee matiun.

NEW YORK, May 4th.—Newbern advices to April 30th confirm the report of the evacu ation of Washington, N. C., by order of Gen. Butler. After the spiking of the glans and destruction of as much property as could not be carried away, it was discovered that the enemy had left for Virginia, leaving but seven companies in front of the place. The rebels have already commenced massa cring all who have accepted President Lincoln's amnesty proclamation, and pressing into their service all capable of bearing arms. General Peck is ordered to repprt to Gen. Butler's Headquarters for such light duty as his health will enable him to perform. It was reported that the rebel ram Roanoke, now at Plymouth, is delaying for the purpose ofmounting the 200-pounder Parrott gtrn which fell into rebel bands there. It was generally believed in the interior tha the fall of Plymouth and evacuation of Wash ington, will enable Governor Vance, the aeces sion candidate, to secure his election. TEE Expinran UP TEE OUACHITA. WASHLNGTON, May 4.—A letter from Rear Admiral Porter, dated April mentions that he recently sent an expedition' up the Ouachita. Riser as far as Monroe, Ark., which captured 3,000 bales of Confederate cotton, brought away 800 negroes, and destroyed much rebel property.- The expedition was under Lieutenant-Commanding Foster, and was particularly successful. THE POTOMAC TM:Mi. WASHISOTON, May 4. ommander Toshal l A. Parker, commanding the Potomac Flotilla reports to the department that on the 27th ult. , Acting Master Hill, commanding the U. S. Steamer Carrituck, succeeded in destroying 2,000 bushels of grain, which was in process of transportation to Richmond. On the 29th another_ expedition, under the Command of Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Hooker, was sent to Carter's creek, and de stroyed eleven boats and canoes, a large (plan tity of grain, and a number of log huts which had been used . as barracks by the rebels. In approaching these the landing party, con s4tirg of twcaty-five seamen, feß in with a company of rebel cavalry, who mistook the force for the advance guard of a much larger party, and hurriedly fled. The contrttbands report that they had pre viously destroyed a large amount of commissary stores, provided for their subsistence. THE PERESYLVALNIA RESERVES.

Housn—jContinued from Second Edition.] Mr. Voorhee's (Ind:) obtained the unanimous Content of the iionse to make a, statement, saying that two gentlemen of his State had been cruelly wronged, and expressing a hope that the -facts would afford .a lesson of decency any justice for the future.,. ,- -The gentleman from Ghia, trdr. Garfield)" on a former occasion mace a startling statement and bad chosen his (Mr. VoOrilees') district for an assault on two of his pensonal and political friends, who are thus made the victims of party malice. At - the time the gentleman from., Ohio brought for ward what he clatmed to hi traced copies of letters from Judge Eckles and John G. littVia addressed to Gen. Breckinridge recommending .a young man named Etonian for a'. position in to rebel army, he ( Voorhees) denounced them to be forgeries. The gentlemen had said he would produce the letters, but .he did not and he -(Mr.- Voorhees) called upon him to do so now. The copies,.even did not meet the bold and defiant pro mise of the gentleman who should either make good the charge or retract The character of Judge Eckles and Mr. Davis would not suffer at the gentleman's hands, or the Democratic party be injured by his blows. He claimed as a high honor that Eckles and Davis are his friends, Mr. 'Voorhees then proceeded to prove by letters. from Messrs. Eckles and Davis, and by the as.ser. ti ns of others whose - characters were unimpeach able, that theta-letters were base, impudent and-, deliber ,te forgeries, also acknowledged tdbe suchby, the'sjiy - who fmged.them, and from Whom the gen man Obtained the copies This was a conspiracy_ to ruin the character and perhaps the lives of two private citizens. If it were not for the serious character of the transaction, he would pronounce it as a stupendous jest of this jesting Administra. tion. In conclusion, he said he had proved be possibility of a doubt that - Dank4n forged the letters- and has left, witnesses of the,forgery, which was without a immallel in atrocity. Jadge EckleS had, no bope for the restoration of liberty or peace while the Republican party lumina in power, and irythis opinion he was the el tleman's true . representative. Mr. Davis ormerly represented the Terre Hants district, and was no stranget here. All who served with him, Would bear testimony to his integrity andpatriotic b. wing, . NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
