After . the announcement of the standing committees the Rouse adjourned. The Debate in the House. , Mr. Representative VALLANDTGIIA3I is the *most candid as well as, one of the ablest enemies of the Administration. He has been consistent from the Beginning, and has never made a speech that lies not awakened applause in the South: In the very corn mencement.of the war lie arrayed himself against his country, and has continued to denounce his • country, and every measure that looked to its salvation, with bitterness 'and hatred. His effort in the House yester day was one of his boldest assaults upon the Government. It was probably inspired by the successes, of the Democracy in many parts of the country, and the magnanimity of a Government which can afford in its strength tO"'aVerlook these unkind and unpatriotic declarations: As we understand the position of Mr. VALLANutorrax, he sees nothing in the war but shame and dan ger. He looks upon the Southern people as grossly wronged and oppressed—upon the North as an •aggressive and avaricious des potism, inspired by the fury of fanaticism, and endeavoring to introduce into our cen tury the manners and customs of New Eng land's early colonial days. He thinks the object of all statesmanship peace—the end of all negotiation peace—and the duty of citizen and public man the attainment of peace by recognizing the Southern Confede racy. Therefore, he hopes for the triumph of the anti-Administration Party, and longs for mediation, defeat, embarrassment, humi liation, internal revolution—anything that will directly or indirectly compel us to recog nize the Confederacy. We can hardly realize the audacity ; the want of. sympathy ; the scornful disregard of the commonest senti ments of national pride ; the sardonic en mity with which he assails this Govern ment. His whole tone, in the House yester day, was extremely so ; and without any intention of making au invidious or unkind allusion to the Representative, we cannot but feel that his language would have been more becoming in a Congress of rebels than in a,Congress of patriots. Itiswith pride that we read the masterly re 7 ply of the Hon. HENDRICK B. WRIGHT, a member of Congress from the State of Pennsylvania. Of all the loyal men in the House, he was the proper champion to meet the able and miscrupulous member from Ohio. Mr. WRIGHT' is a veteran Democrat, and has been earnestly devoted to the traditions of the party. No one has done more to preserve • the integrity of the organization, and no one has a greater hold upon the con fidence of its loyal members. Twenty years ago he presided over a Democratic National Convention, and during those years he has done nothing to: destroy the confidence so gracefully bestowed. When the war was made upon DOUGLAS for the purpose of fiestroying the Democratic party, he sustained DOUGLAS with energy and en thusiasm ; and When the men who ruined that great statesman attempted to ruin the Union, he became an earnest and self-de nying supporter of the Administration in its efforts to . defend the Union. The people of his district, without distinction of party, sent Min to Congress. During his membership, he has taken manyiposi tions that we do not exactly approve ; he has been lenient when we desired severity; he has been conservative when we asked boldness; but he has always been true to the Union ; he has never, by .a word or deed, done anything to embarrass the war, or the war-making power. With a record like this, and still professing his devo tion to the Democratic organization, Mr. WRIGHT was the proper man to reply to Mr. VALLANDIGHAM, and his speech, as we have it before us this morning, is a glorious effort. In that speech he re presents the true Democratic sentiment of the country, and while we hardly agree that his reference to Mr. SEY3IOUR is happy or appropriate, we accept it in its generous and patriotic meaning, and commend it to the consideration of all true Democrats. Now is the time for the true Democracy of the*country to make a braVe and honora ble record. Now is the time for them to make an issue between the . false and the true—the loyal and the disloyal—the friend and the foeman—patriotism and treachery. The enemies' of the country were never bolder than at this time ; they never ex hibited plainer or more outspoken evidences of their desire to see the Republic over thrown. In New -Jersey- we see a repre sentative of the people '_proposing an ar mistice and a cessation of hostilities. In No York we see Mr. JAMES BROOKS and his allies Making the same demand; ' l and we bear Mr. Cox, of Ohio, delivering ana themas against loyal' New England to a shrieking crowd of local Democrats. I In Pennsylvania Mr. PEED writes pamphlets, mid Mr.. Huo ITES makes speeches, with the same idCa and everywhere; wherever we find a Democratic organization, .we-hear, the same doctrines sustained. , 4.ll:these . i.cleaiof armistice and separatioir arelreaSonable As Mr. Witron;r.so - eloquently;deeliires; , 7e;Ciin of iy ninke Pence by the victories of ate sword. Our destiny is in our own hands, and, for the present, that destiny must be determined by battle. We see no honorable way to avoid this alternative. We must Ailed it, and we must do it like men. He is no friend to his country who refuses, to give ' the Administration aid in this mighty effort; andle is no true Deinnerat who hesitates to endorse the• glorious sentiments of Mr. WRIGHT: More British Neutrality. • The English papers strongly deny that the British Government had given.orders to their naval officers to warn the pirate Ala bama against assailing vessels carrying Bri tish property.' It is contended, in Vindiaa tion of this do-nothing policy, that the zens of ameutral power.trade under the flag of a belligerent entirely at their own proper risk. Indeed, Lord MIN RUSSELL as good , as enunciated this dictum, when he lately told the Liverpool merchants who petitioned him to do something to prevent the Alaba ma's piratical seizure and destruction of their goods when found in . United States mer chantmen, that the best thing they could do would be to use not American but British vessels to convey their property from place to place. Still more anomalous is , the inten tion, now openly avowed, not to interfere with the sale of vessels; at Liverpool and other British ports, to be eventually used as privateers , or pirates under the Confederate flag. It is known that there has been such purchase_ of vessels by: the Confederates, for the purpose of such piracy. • • When it is re membered that, after much delay, the Bri: tish Government, acting on the advice of its Law Officers, *.despatched orders to LiVer pool to prevent the departure of ""'Number 290" (now the -Alabama) from:that port— :which-order did not arrive until the day af ter "290" had steamed out into the Irish Sea—one cannot but feel surprise at the de-. termination not to issue a similar prohibition in regard to the vessels which have liaised into Confederate PosSession. But we never expected that the announced neutrality of England would be bona fide and actual: Never too Late: It is reported that the Pope, at the in stance of the Emperor NAPOtEON, *ill imme diately introduce several important reforms into'the Government of Rome and the limit ed territory - still under his sway. 'The Im perial speech, usually delivered by NAr;o- LEON, to the foreign diplomatists who. pay him their respects at the beginning of the year, was expected to contain some an nouncement of this much-needed change in the Papal administration of affairs. It is utterly impossible; however, that the sub jects,of the Papady, or any other persons, can believe in any Reform at Rome which does not commence with the ejection of Cardinal ANTONELLI from office. This man, Who is very able as well as very absolute, is evidently the evil genius of Pius IX., a kind-hearted and tolerant gentleman, whose good intentions; it is to be feared, have alWays been nullified by the persons in Whom lie places ' confidence. If the Pope were to relieve high ecclesiastics from any share in the management of secular affairs, his Executive would be immensely improved. Ms Ministry consists of seven individuals, six of whom are Cardinals. The only lay man in the Ministry is Baron CONSTANTINI BALDTXT; who attends to commerce, the fine arts, and public, works. Even. the Minister. of War is a Cardinal—actually, as well as professionally, belonging to. the " Church militant upon earth:" • ' LETTER FROM 66 OCCASIONAL:, WASIiENGTON, January'l4,•lB63 It did not need Mr. Vallandigham's speech in the House, this afternoon, to indicate that it is 'the - settled purpose of the controlling men in the Ijemocratic party. to compel a Cessation of hostilities, which is, in fact, the surest preparation for the recognition of the rebellion, and for the separation, disloCa tion, and sub-division of the Union.. . _ . . . This programine; however, rejected by the rank and file of the Dernocracy, had been previously plainly marked out by other and, probably, more authoritative organs of the great Opposition party. Not many days will elapse before the idea of the dissolution of the Republic is formally presented to the people of the loyal States, under " Democratic " appeals for peace and for an armistice. It is right, there fore, that the people should, accustom themselves to look this appalling question directly - in the face. Are they ready for a peace .the rebels, according to the programme of William B. Reed, Fernando Wood, and C. C. Vallandigham? . Are 'they so sick of fighting for their liberties that they are willing to rush into anarchy ? Have they shut out from their senses the fact that the rebels, flushed with triuniph, refuse to offer. - terms themselves, and expect the free States to beg for peace on-bended knees, end also that no terms will be accepted by the rebelS which do not recognize the rebel lion itself, and prepare the way for the di tision the free States? Present peace on either of the conditions named will only be certain and perpetual war. I drop a repetition of the : arguments as to boundaries in the event of separation. I drop the question whether we are to sur render the capital of the United States, to give up Delaware and Maryland, to yield Kentucky, MisSouri, Tennessee, and West ern Virginia, and to allow slavery to dominate over the free navigation of the Mississippi river. I prefer to come to that which concerns us of Penn sylvania in all our most sacred and immediatninterests. We can best un derstand all ideas that look to a dishono rable peace and a bloody separation, by understanding our own relation to these ideas. When dissolution or separation be comes probable, the repudiation of all obligations, national and individual, .be comes certain. Public and private cre dit is lost, because confidence between man anti man is sacrificed. In the strife between those who desire to adhere to . the old Government, and those who, according to William B. Reed, long to hurry us into the slave Confederacy, anarchy will be the dark and bloodiest comment upon our -M -fatuation. It will be difficult to la whether. the man who labors most, or he who owns most property, will be the severest sufferer. Of course our voters are to be asked to de cide at the ballot-box whether they prefer Union or separatiOn. This will be the issue, and I do not doubt the result. Ido not doubt the heretofore misled, cheated, and prejudiced Democratic masses of Penn sylyania. They will turn upon their leaders and rend them, when they find that their programme is a Dishonorable Peace, a Cowardly Armistice, and a succeeding Fatal Separation. Patriotism is not extinct in the American heart ; for, even as I close this letter, I hear that the extraordinary and defiant speech of Vallandigham called out the veteran 'Hen drick B. Wright, of PennsYlvania, who, in dignant at his misconstructions of the late elections, refused to believe that, because the people voted under certain misapprehension, against the Administration, therefore they voted against the Government and the war. Col. Wright's powerful speech was a fitting conclusion to a great day in the House. Every patriot in the land ought to thank Mr. Vallandigham for his frank disclOsure of a plan which it is only necessary for the people fully to understand to induce them to repudiate with indignation and scorn. ; . OccasronA. Election of United States Senator. [Special Da pitch to Tho PresO.J Sr. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 14, 1863.* ALKNixtum RAMSEY, present Governor of our State, WRB to-day elected United States Senator. He is a Pennsylvanian by birth,. and forme l rly resident of Harrisburg. A man of undoubted loyalty to his country and the Constitution, sustaining the Government in each and every measure. to Crush the rebellion, he will, as a Senator, be as enetisetle in' his support of the Administration as he has jbeon while Governor of this State. TON.NV.ASI-AIN,!G Spectglpespate*c§:tio 4 , The Press.” , • 1 'WASHINGON ,January 14„1883. • - • Debate in the House To—day. The proceedings in the House were unusually in- - teresting to-day.. Val:L.6lollAm, of Ohio, delivered himself of a labored effort, and advocated the cause• of the rebels with more than usual defiance. He made his treasonable sympathies so clear that many of those who have heretofore defended him now roundly denounce him. JOHN A. BINGIIA4C, of the same State, without any preparation whatever; replied to his colleague in a Speech of•one hour and a quarter's length. The effort was wihrthy of the occasion and the man. It was a triumphant viudi 'cation of the justice and necessity.ot the war for the Union, encl.& scathing denunciation of the infamy of his colleague's position. The soldiers in the gal leries repeatedly, during the delivery of Mr. Blyc.- we's speech, demonstrated their concurrence with him in opinion by applause which could, with difil enity, be checked by the Speaker. 'Hon. Hv.ionicx B. WRIGHT, of PensYlvania, fol lowed Mr. AnconAm. He took positive issue with VALLANDIGHAM, And boldly enunciated sentiments of the most patriotic character. 'His response to the sophistries of Mr. V. was eloquent and com plete, and the praises of Jorfx A. Bixottax •and HENDRICK B. WRIGHT are on all loyal lips in this city to-night. Pennsylvania may well be proud of her Representative. He is a Democrat of the good old times, who has not been seduced from the path of political virtue by the treasonable example of men who assume to be leaders of the Democratic party. . A Case of Base Treaelierjr. Joint A. NEAGLEY, who has had charge 'of an ambulance corps in the city,-has been committed to the Old Capitol prison, by order of 001. BAKER, Provost Marshal of, the War Department. Lest parties blinded by partisan prejudices and disloyal sympathies rmay produce the impression on the minds of unsuspecting persons that this is an nu.: • justifiable "arbitrary arrest," the-facts are stated somewhat at length. JOHN A. lsreaoLity is the son in-law of Joxas P. KELLETt, for - many years, and at present a clerk in the Ordnance Department. Mr. KILLER has a son, Jamus KILLER, who left Wash ington and joined the rebel army.at the commence ment of the war. Captain Caztr, a regular army officer, and at present general transportation agent in Colonel Rueicuir's office, is a brother-in-la* of Isreaor.xv, and it was throughthe latter that NE G... Lin' got his position. Young. Ker.i:in had not been, heard from untirabout a week since, when Colonel.. BAKER ascertained that he had crossed' the lines,. and was at Baltimore. An experienced detective' was at once placed-on -his track. A day or two', since TAMES entered his father's residence, and, threw his arms about his father's neck, and feeling ly stated that he could not leave for the South without- seeing- him. The patriotic old Irian in-I dignantly denounced him for his treason, disowned: -him, and forbid him his presence. The next .day Nranr.er wentto hia,brother-in-law, Captain CAMr, and on the pretence of bringing a number of sick. soldiers from Camp Baker, procured an - order to take an- ambulance to 'that : place for the purpose. He then' took- a Goverament ambulatide, Govern,. ment horses,,and a Government driver, and, loaded with medicines and other goods for the rebel army, carried .TAIrEs Ker..L . sur. to Leonardtown, Maryland,' where the letter crossed Hie Potomac, and is now,. doubtless, safe in Dixie. The detectives were swift . . on'his track,but did not arrive at Leonardtown 'in' time to seize the goods or capture the rebel soldier but they arrested NEAGLEY, and he has been com 'mitted to prison as above stated. A more consum mate act of premeditated treason has rarely occur red during this war, which has been so prolific with Official infamy. It is due to Captain CAMP to state that not the least blame is attached to him in this matter, as he is entirely above suspicion. Election for Menabei•of Congress. . An election will be held in so much of the Seventh Congressional district of Virginia as 'is * in undis puted Federal possession,. to-morrow, for a. Mem ber of the HOuse of Representatives.- It protreses to be rather a tame affair, as there is no excitement except among the personal friends of the respective candidates. ANDREW WYLIE is claimed by his friends as the' regular Administration candidate. The Mayor of Alexandria, IVI. MolCEiliti, and Mr. CHAUNCEY H. Sxow, steamboat agent, are also candidates. It is doubtful whether Congress wil admit the gentleman who may be eo fortunate as to receive the largest number of votes to a seat as a member of the House, as many distinguished gentle men doubt the propriety of the policy of admitting persons elected by an insignificant minority of the people. If their opinions are heeded by the House it may operate harshly in some easesi but it will 'certainly have the effect of keeping out of the House Representatives from the Southern States of (to use the mildest term) doubtful loyalty, who might flock to Washington if a more liberal policy were to receive the sanction of Congress. The Proposed Submarine Telegraph Line. The House Committee on Naval Affairs have, ac cording to the resolution unanimously passed on Monday, commenced an inquiry into the prsctica bility 'of connecting all our naval and military sta tions, between Fortress Monroe and New Orleans, by submarine andtelegraph cables. A Female Contrabandist Sent to the Old Capitol Prison. Mrs. ELIZA LATHAN, of Virginia, was arrested to-day by Col. TOM, Provost Marshal General of the defences south of the Potomac, while attempting to pass our lines freighted with a large amount of contraband goods. She was sent to the Old Capitol Prison. A very interesting little daughter was anxious to accompany her mother to prison, but it was not permitted. The McDowell Court of Inq-uiry. Gen. 'Pope was • exoss-examined today, Ile de tailed the history of his.movements and plans for his' several army caps to pursue on the 27th, 28th; and 29th of August, and also the movements of Jackson 'and Lon gatreet's corps of the enemy, against which he was principally contending. He showed that Jack son's escape was the failure of the division of Gen. King to remain holding his ground on the night of the 28th as he had been ordered to do. He also tee tined that though Gen. Sigel was placed under General McDowell on the 26th, from a temporary necessity, he was certainly not under General Mc- Dowell's command on the 29th of August, the tem porary necessity having expired on the afternoon of the 28th ; that on the 29th, throughout the day, he repeatedly gave orders direct to Gem Sigel in per son, and sent others to'him by members of his staff, and he could not see how Sigel could entertain the idea that McDowell was over him on that day. He further explained the propriety of McDowelPs course in going down on the 28th, from the position of his forces. to Manassas, where he (Pope) was to give him the necessary infOrmation. He also averred his belief that McDowell had discharged, faithfully, his whole duty when connected with the Army of Virginia, and deserved the unstinted thanks of the country on that account. Objects to. Being Sent South. ABRAM blrEns, of Alexandria, and late of the 17th Virginia, having refused to take the oath of allegiance, has been committed to the old Capitol. When Infot med that he would be sent South in ex change for a loyal soldier he become extremely anx ious to take the oath. Protection of Discharged Soldiers, Numerous discharged soldiers, having recently - been swindled and robbed of their pay, as soon as they came in possession of it, Provost Marshal Dos- TER has detailed an officer to attend daily at the office of the paymaster of discharged soldiers, at the depot, and at the Soldier's Retreat, to protect such soldiers from the machinations of chormorants, thieves, and sharpers. Col. POSTER has also ordered that when any discharged soldier shall purchase ticket to leave the city on the railroad, the company shall not prevent him . from leaving as a passenger, except in cases of contagious diseases. Confirmations by the Senate. The Senate to-day, in Executive session, con firmed the nomination of Soso, - Rowa as postmaster at Portsmouth, Ohio ; RICHARD S. FIELD, of New Jersey; as judge of the District Court of the United States for. New Jersey, vice Psuramor; DICRERSON, deceasd; ROBERT W. TAYLOR, of Ohio, First Comptroller of the Treasury, vice EwsuA Wrryr- TLESEY, deceased. Soldiers Being Paid Ott: Several paymasters have gone to the army for the purpose of paying off the soldiers. The Govern. ment is doing all in its power to pay the men who are maintaining the (honor and striving to perpetu ate the existence of the nation. A. Branch of the National Typographical Union. A large number of the printers at present em ployed in this city held a meeting to-day, to.inaugu rate steps preparatory a to the formation of Print ers' Union, as a branch' of the National Typogra phical Union. There is no Union here now but the old Typographical Society, which was in existence before the National Union was established. A good deal of feeling on the - subject is being manifested. A mass meeting of printers will be held on Saturday night. Revenue Stamps.

It is an extract from a private letter re ceived from Commander WAIINRIGFIT, late of the steamer Harriet Lane, which was captured on the Ist instant: • UNITED STATES STEAMED HARIVIF.T Lax; GALVESTON, Texas, Dec. 11, 1862. We are occupying a very disagreeable position, lying oft' the town and holding the harbor, but with out sufficient force to occupy the city. The Con federates, who hold Virginia Point on the mainland, about five miles off, have free access to the town over the railway bridge which connects Galveston Island with the mainland. They also hold a bat tery guarding this end of the bridge, the water being so shallow that we cannot get within gunshot of either.. They are in and out all the time, which renders it unsafe for us to go on shore, or we should be liable to be "gobbled up" at 'any moment. So we have to stick to our vessels, and in -bonsequence ; feel the want of exercise on terra firma sadly. We have constant reports that we are to be at tacked both from the water and the shore, which keep us continually on the alert. We have sb many rumors that we are getting tired of hearing' them. We would rather prefer some demonstration on the part of the enemy to the never-endirg suspense and anxiety on the subject. We should not care a six pence for the whole party if we had room enough to move about in; but we are anchored - in a sort of natural canal where there is riot sufficient - space to turn around. You have to be pointed fitir before you can go either way. -If they come at us with their light-draft boats, which are able to go anywhere in the bay, you can see what an advantage they will have over us. How ever, I think we will give a good account of our selves if they come. We understand that John Ma gruder says, if our troops do not arrive pretty soon; and beat him off, he will drive us out of the bay, John will have to get up early in the morning. Still, we shall be very glad when the troops make their appearance, so that we can sleep in peace. .4 The Missouri• Legislature, • SEriKE.RON CITY, Jan. 14.—Mr. Bennet, of St. Louis, introduced in the House today a series of resolutions sustaining the President's Emancipation Proclamation.

ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Immediate Payment of our Soldiers-. XV. STEVENS (Rep.), of Pennsylvania, reported a joint resolution to provide for the immediate pay merit of the army and navy. It authorizes the Se cretary of the Treasury, if required by the exigen cies or the public service to issue on the credit of the United States, $50,000,000 of United States notes, in such:form as he may deem expedient, not bearing Interest, fayable on demand, in denominations not less than one dollar, which notes shall be lawful and legal tender, like similar notes heretofore authorized, and receivable in payment of all debts, public or pri vate, except duties on imports, and the payment of principal and interest on the public debt. The issue herein provided to be deducted from the amount in any bill now pending, or which may be hereafter passed by Congress. Dar. STEVENS said he learned, both here and in the Senate; that the main bill providing ways and means for the support of the Governmentwould not probably be passed Within two weeks. Hence this bill was introduced. - Mr. LOVEJOY (Rep.), of Illinois, suggested that the bill be amended so as to provide for $100,000,000, to which Mr. Stevens agreed. The joint resolution was passed. • Contempt of the Hauge. Mr. HOLMAN (Dcm.), of Indiana, offered.a re solution reciting that Simon Stevens, who had been called before the Select Committee on Government contracts; had refused to answer the questions pro pounded as to the terms and condition of the labor contract for storing and delivering foreign goods in New York, and how much was received for the same, &c., therefore, the Sergeant-at-arms be di rected to bring Simon Stevens before the bar of the House, to answer for contempt of its authority. The resolution was passed. Military and Post Road. Mr. FENTON (Rep.), of New York, introduced a bill to provide for the construction of a military and postal road between Washington and New York, :which was referred to the select committee on the subject.: The Rebellion. The HOuse proceeded to the consideration of Mr. - Wright's resolution, declaring the rebellion delibe rately wicked, and without reasonable cause; that this war was inaugurated solely for the suppression of the rebellion and restoration of the Union as it was ; that the Union restored, the war should cease, • and the seceding States be received back into the Union with all the privileges and immunities to which they were originally entitled. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM-(Dem.)„ of Ohio briefly alluded to the efforts at compromise during ses sion of 1861, and at the beginning of war, and to the scenes which followed, and also to his own posi tion at that time, and to the failure of war. He then maintained that reunion was not only possible, but inevitable, unless defeated by the deliberate folly And wickedness of the public men and the people. He argued the question at length from history, and cited many 'examples: He insisted that physical causes all tended to that event; that there was no radical difference in the white race here to prevent , it; that all the original causes which led to Union— common descent, con sanguinity, language, measures, and laws of defence common interest and domestic tranquility-=all stilt existed in' full - force, and some of them were much stronger now: than at the first. -Many artificial causes had sprung up since, such as works of improvement, multiplyin,g travel and trade, migration, and intercourse, and there were also certain less material, but equally strong ties, such as common• history, national reputation, and the songs of common battle-fields. He also main tained that the causes which led to dieunion were not eternal and ineradicable, and tvere weaker than those which tended to n reunion; that slavery was not the but only the development of the cause of sectionalism; that there is no irrepressible con flict between slave labor and free labor—the slay holding and non-slaveholding States; that the funda mental idea of the Constitution is the perfect and eternal compatibility of a union of States, part slave and part free, and that such a Union was in fact the strongest of all popular Governments. He contended that nothing keeps us apart excepting hate, antrigo nism, and revenge, and that War heats these passions seven - tirnes hotter, and that while it lasts reunion cannot commence. lie insisted that these prejudices could be overcome. He explained the origin of the jealoindes between New England and the South, treeing them' to differenee• of manners, habits, and social life, and a different idea of religion, me:irate, and politics. He 'ejected the idea of excluding New England, and insisted that there was a large non- Puritan and conservative element in that section, which would of itself overcome the narrow, extreme, and fanatical Puritan element, the supremacy of which he declared to be incompatible with the peace of society and , of the Union. He alluded to Roger 'Williams as the founder of a New England civiliza tion different from the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. He next maintained that New York,'New - Jersey, and Pennsylvania 'could not separate from the South nor the South from the North, and spoke . of the geographical ties which bound them together. The Northwest would not separate from the South. The day which 'divided the slaveholding from the non-slaveholdin States would decree the eternal divorce of the West from the East. There was no cause of controversrexcepting slavery. The agita tion of that subject, as a political • element, must 'cease. We must return to the ohiconstitutional and actual basis of fifty yeara ago—the three fifths rule, the speedy and ready return of fugitive slaves—no more agitation, and the transit and temporary sojourn of - masters with. their slaves in •the free States. This was the price of the Union, and who ever was unwilling to pay it must finally declare for separation and disunion. - The South was in-. terested just as much as we in reunion. He spoke of the terms of slavery on the old basis as the way to reunion, referring to the almost exact similarity of the two Constitutions, Federal and Confederate, and of the impossibility of keeping up two such Go vernments with a natural boundary. The only diffi culty in the way of reunion was the want of the will to reunite, and while the war lasted that Will would never exist. If the country were nearly tired of the war, and thought the military experi ment had been tried long enough, and enough blood and treasure expended and misery inflicted on both sides, he would then propose the following measures : Stop fighting; make an armistice, but no formal treaty 3 withdraw your army from the' seceded States; reduce both armies to a fair and sufficient peace establishnient; declare an absolute free - trade between the North and South; buy and sell; :agree upon a Zolverien ; recall your fleets ; break up your blockade reduce your navy ; restore travel upon your railroads ; re-establish the telegraph ; re unite your express companies ; build no more Moni tors and iromelads, but set your friendly- Steamers and steamships again in motion ; visit the North and West.; visit the South ; exchange newspapers migrate; inter-marry; let slavery alone; hold elections at the appointed times ; let us choose a• President in 1864, and when the gospel of pence shall have a - ..inded again from Heaven into their hearts,. and the gospel of Abolition hate been expelled, let your. clergy and the churches meet again in Christian intercourse North, and South ; let the secret orders and voluntary associations everywhere reunite as brethren once more. In short, give to all the natural and all the official causes which impel us. Jogether • their fullest sway. Let 'Time do. his office, drying tears dispelling sorrows, mellowing cession, and making herb and grass and tree to grow again upon the hundred battle-fields of this terrible war. He denied that this-was a formal re cognition, to which, for obvious reasons, he would not consent. It was an informal recognition,"and so was the exchange of prisoners, flags of truce, &c. If it confessed disunion, it was only as the surgeon, w.`.o seta trectUreil limb and heals it, and admits that it is bitylien, It would not do to say that the Government would have failed to crush out the re hellion. It had failed, anti would always fail. Neither ought anybody to complain that no one would be hung. Neither would there be, though the war lasted for fifty years. But, if nobody was to be hung, then let the wrong doers of the Administration rejoice and be exceeding glad. He approved of mediation as a means of sus pending hostilities, but rejected arbitration. He spoke also of the important lessons which the war had • taught on both sides ; explaining the anti slavery errors, proving the. strength of the South,, and that slavery, instead of ,weakness, was power— that the non-slaveholding white men of the South' were the chief support of slavery, and there was no danger of servile insurrection. lie'said that the South had learned that personal courage is a quality common to all sections, and that in battle the men of the North, and especially of the 'West. were their equals. Twenty months -of war had 'collected errors and taught us the wisdom of a century, and if we would only reunite, the Union would be stronger and more durable than ever. He expressed his readiness to yield personal interests, and the more material rewards of ambition, ust now, to the future and the good of his country. Whoever believed that War would restore the Union ; whoever was for war was for the • abolition of (slavery on disunion; and whoever demanded Southern independence and final separation would not be satisfied with whet he said ; but he had always been for the Union, and would not now sur render it. ' In youth he desired to live to see the hundredth anniversary of American independence"; and as orators exult in. our growing glories and greatness of the, still United Statea, he hoped for it still sooner, if possible. In any event., let that day be the day of the great restoration.' We were in the midst of the crisis of the revolution. : If we secured Ifnow, and began a reunion, all would be well— if not, lie saw nothing before us but revolution and anarchy. • Mr. SAMUEL C. FBSSENDEN (Rep.), of Maine, in reply to a remark - made by Mr. Vallandiglrim, in the course of his speech said that New England "still lives," notwithstanding the tirade of the gen tleman from Ohio against her, and will stiltlive in the Union and the Constitution as they are. • Mr. BINGHAM (Rep.), of Ohio, said that:sive, have been favored again on the other side of the House With an npology for rebellion. This. should never be allowed to go to the country Untihallenged, 'while rthopia - olunity was attfirdetthini to respond. .His colleague' (Mr. •Vallaudighaut); had come here • to-day with denunciations that this war had been made by the Executive of the United States. He started out with the oracular declaration which he had heretofore made,- that coercion would produce war—that he had abided his• time, and that time , the great avenger, had answered_ that coercion would make' war. Now, he Var. .13ingham) demanded that when the gentleman talked about posterity and the truth of history he should make up the record fairly according to the facts. A stranger to the events of the last two years, listen ing to the remarks of his colleague, would suppose that blood would not have been shed and war not have covered this land with the, shadow of its cloud, but for the act of the President in attempting to coerce law-abiding citizens. This is sot according to history. • While- the care of -the State was in the keeping of the gentleman's party war was already organized against the Republic and our hag dishonored . .., by. a rebel attack upon ownit' within our aters: Yet` upon this sub ject the gentleman chose to be silent. Long before the inauguration of the President rebel batteries were erected around Fort Sumpter, for no other purpose than to reduce it by, force: ' As his colleague had raised this questiOn, he thought he might be allowed to show he* the war originated, and who of all others are responsible for 'its- existence.' He , charged -here to-day, while ad judged and justified by history, that this ' rebellion would have been powerless but for the gentleman himself and hie party, who were perpetually crying in the ears of the rebels, "No coercion." While the rebels were organizing for disunion by force of arms, and when one of the conspirators in the Cabinet was dismantling our forts, and while another member of the Cabinet was sending our vessels to distant seas, in order that the navy might not, in the day of trinl, protect our flag, the gentleman's President, on the 4th of December, 1860, sent to - Ccingreas a message, saying that it was unconstitutional to coerce the se ceding States, and that the sword was never given to the representatives of the people in Congress to declare war against rebel States. - What was the ob ject of this coercion 1 All on one side. If the Presi dent had not met the existing condition of affairs, and taken action against the treasonable proceed ings, he would have been false to his oath to pro tect, defend, and maintain the Constitution of the ltinited States, and ought to have been pursued with . a resolution of impeachment: - He repeated, that this rebellion would not have as- Burned its presentdimenoions, but for the dereliction of the preceding Piesident: South Carolina had passed an ordinance of secession,but at that time stood alone, a pitiful, contemptible State, with' a small army. But all her traitors could have been strangled if President Buchanan had performed his duty. How would it have been if we had followed the example of that Administration which expired, thank God 1- on the 4th of March, 1861 1 It was then oonsidered unconstitutional to suppress rebellion. In Other words, it was assumed that there was no power in the Government to defend itself against armed rebellion 'and treason, It required no foresha dowing of prophecy to see that the Government would be dissolved by coercion on the one side without resistance on the other. He had no doubt it grieved his colleague - that the President in April, 1861, had dared to sound the note of alarm, and that he had courage in obedience to his oath to pro tea-, defend,'and maintain the Constitution'; to call for '75,000 volunteers to defend a threatened capital and the violated laws. The watchman placed ontlie tower declared -to the people the existence of an armed r ebellion. The people were asleep. But for this the capital would have fallen without resist ance. His colleague was of this mind still, and there fore lie reiterated to-day " thewar ought to stop," yet , the only means 'by which" the Union could be maintained under the Constitution was by the force of arms. The other part of his colleague's speech was intend ed to satisfy . the people that he is for " the Consti tution as it 18 and the Union as it was." His col league told theniagain that he had never voted men or money to carry on the war. Suppose all had acted as his colleaguehad acted, what would have been the result? No. bills would have been passed authorizing volunteers to be enlisted to defend' the flag, and arming, equipping, and supporting in the field 600,- 000 men. No resistance_ would have been made to the rebels, who have multiplied graves all over this land—a subject to which his colleague appealed with. so much tenderness and - so much regard, by reason of this unconstitutional war. .. • He (Mr. Bingham) did not say that everybody belonging. to the Democratic party was of that mind ,• but he did say, and challenged iontradiction, that but for the aid and comfort of his colleague and his party to his heresy, the ruin to which he points and which has visited so many hearthstones, would not have occurred. His hands are not clear of , the blood shed in this war. He (Mr. Bing ham) could not be tolerant toward those who, charged with standing by and protecting the coun try and the Constitution, withdraw their support, and leave the country to the tender mercies of its enemies. His colleague assumed that there would be no difficulty if the army were disbanded. His colleague took it for granted that secession is a constitutional right. He (Mr. Bingham) thought that he was not mistaken in saying that that was his colleague's honest judgment. He believed the same gentleman. who now talked about "the Constitution as it is ana the Union as it was" introduced here a propo sition to divide the country into four sections, and thus legalize secession by consent of the State Le gitilatures, without consulting Pennsylvania, New York, or other States; which, on the principle ad vanced, had no right to interfere. He did not - think a gentleman occupying such a position Ilea right to denounce others as opponents of the Constiitgion. But his colleague was still for the Union, and at the same moment for disunion.. "Disband your armies, anti let the war cease." Not a word about the other side—the traitors in arms. • His colleague's official conduct corresponded with his declaration. He had refused to vote menand money to carry on the war. If we all follow this course, the war would necessarily cease. The South would then surely triumph over the Union and the Constitution, and hence his colleague's resolution offered as an amendment to the resolution now under consideration contemplated a final treaty of peace. His colleague assumed that "if" we withdraw our armies the South will come back. By what au thority was this declaratien made? If he had any authority he ought to give it. . He appealed to his colleague to furnish the information, whether by abandoning our. army the rebels will come back under " the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is." The gentleman is silent upon the subject. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM was understood to say that he bad answered that question by what he had already said. Mr. B.INGHAM resuming, said he did not think his colleague was allowed to say that by his master, Jefferson Davis. His colleague had also argued that we cannot get any more men and cannot raise the necessary money by taxation to carry on this war. He would ask hie - colleague by what authority he made this asser tion? He doubted the correctness of his conclusions. He did not believe the millions of .people from the rock-bound coast of the North to the Golden Gates of the Pacific were yet prepared to lay their faces in the dust, and their hands to their faces, and cry, "Unclean ! unclean !!! • No I They occupy the position now that they al ways have occupied, and, he thanked God, they ever would, because they have the faith of the Pilgrims, at his colleague sneered. .He presented to hli Colleague' the admonition of Washington that "the. Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all until changed by the act of the entire peo ple." This was a sufficient • response to his col league's assertion that the people would pay no more taxes, and would submit to the laws no longer. In allusion to a remark- of his colleague's about Illoses, Mr. Bingham alluded to the Jewish leader by saying that he received the law from God, and among the commandments was, "thou shalt not steal." The rebels should not, therefore, steal our country. VALLANDIGHAM said he was willing that his colleague should volunteer in the army. Mr. BINGHAM responded, that if our citizens should follow the counsel of his colleague, nobody would volunteer. [Applause.) When your ag is dis honored, and our sons are murdered, you set here and refuse to volt e a dollar to'defend our institutions. You talk about volunteering! [Applause.] The SPEAKER reminded the galleries that such breaches of order would not be permitted. Mr. BINGHAM said his. colleague undertook to speak for the great Northwest. Where did the people living there obtain the model of their free commonwealths but from New Englaiid,' where the founders were cradled 1 As they followed the sun as he walked with steps of fire to the distant West, the very first thing they did was to initiate the blessed institutions of New England—they made free commonwealths. It was an ungenerous im putation on the people of that section to say that they will lock hands with the Secessionists for the sake of gain. Out upon all suchlincipient treason 1 Mr. WRIGHT (Union), of Pennsylvania, said lie differed as far as. the East is 'from the . West Trom some of the positions held by the gentleman from Ohio. (Mr. Yallandigham): - He(ikir:_Wright) was a peace man, but note peace man if peace was to be erectelon a broken and destroyed Union. He was for peace if peace could he obtained with the rebels, who are now striking at the heart of the Republic, on terms honorable to the North. But while he was a peace man he was no coward, and while he desired peace he shirked from no responsibility. • This resolution declared that. an honorable peace is desirable, but no peace should be made while armed opposition menaces the capital and threatens the overthrow of. the Union, and while the rebels say they, will make no terms with us, he was no peace man. Under these circumstances he could not preserve his own honor and that of his country. Did the gentleman from Ohio suppose that peace could be obtained from the rebels in arms? Nothing would be more satisfactory to them than for us to say that they should have the Republic for which they are now struggling. If the doctrine of the gentleman from Ohio had prevailed a year ago, the members of Congress would not' now hold their seats here; and 'the chief master of his cohorts would possess the Capitol. The rebels first fired their gun at the American flag. They were the first to withdraw their States from the American Union, and establish within their borders the reign of .terror t raising the standard of opposition and sendingpiratical ships, to the seas to plunder our commerce—and were we to fold our arms and say, " Reece ! let the war stop !" Had we not the man 'hood to raise oi.q.ivoices against it, and the courage to protect our wives and children, and maintain our liberties] Must we lay down. our arms? No! While God has given us the poWer to maintain our. .position, let us fight this thing out like. men. The day has passed when we can compromise with trai tors ! These rebel States have committed great wrongs. The soil is saturated with the blood of our children. We cannot degrade our national charactei. He repeated. that no terms could be made with dis unionists. ; If we., Davisave peace, we Must bring it about ourselves. Jefferson and his co 'adjutors say theY: never: will listen: to "peke. In this connection lie read a reAVitttion which was unanimously passed by the ilortli CaR":ll29 14',-?:iab4 - ture, saying that they would not listen to peace ;it any time on any terms; and, also, the card of Go vernor Letcher, in which the latter asserted that there could :be no consideration of any proposition for a reconstruction of the late Union on any - terms or condition whatsoever. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM, in reply.to Mr. Wright, said the ballot box is still a powerful weapon in the hands'of the South; and through its agency, when passions shall have cooled and reason resumed its sway, he expected to see a return of the 'Union sen timent he had indicated; when the men in the Con federate and State Governments would be super seded by other men, just is those who have waged war on a peculiar line of policy hive been super seded in the North and West. Mr. IVRIGHT could not see on , what terms or principle of reasoning such a result was to be ex pected. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM replied : History and human nature. Mr. DAWES (Rep.), of Massachusetts, Inquired whether he expected the rebels, at some future day, to revolutionize by the • ballot•hox while in arms, or must we wait for the revolutionl VALLANDIGIII.I.II replied that the laying down of arms must be a matter of common consent. He would, if he had the power, reduce both armies to a reasonable peace establishment. [Laughter on the Republican side A He would have a reunion through the ballot-box; and by this freeman's weapon bring about the result. But you say this can be done only by fighting. You have been fighting for twenty months, and what has been the resultl Mr. WRIGHT, resuming, observed that what the gentleman had just said surprised him More • than what he had previously uttered. The idea of laying down our arms would be a most monstrous pioposi ton. He believed that, even if we sent a committee of this House, or of the two houses, to 'wait upon Jefferson Davis, the gentlemen would not be re ceived by him. He understood that certain gentle men of NeWJersey had made an attempt of this kind, and that the delegation were not received by theltichinond officials. Mr. PERRY (Rep.), of New Jersey, said there was not one word of truth in the report. • -Mr. 'WRIGHT was - glad to hear it was not true. He had a better opinion pf the State, being half a' jelseynian himielf. • (Laughter.) • • After further remarks he saiel—As to-the results of the recent elections, those:in his own State were not hostile to a vigOrous prosecution of the Year. As to New York, he perceived that Gov. Seymour spoke of n.y)gorous prosecution of the war. Never was a war so bunglingly conducted -since the days of Alexander to Napoleon. He would not discuss the question of who is to blame. Perhaps it was wrong to-remove -DlcOlellan, -or to do a, thousand other things, but because blunders have'been committed, shall we stand up and say, We will abandon the war and surrender our lihertiest The men who; now stand up for the war' will - lie dear to the country, at d their names live foreverovhile the tories who oirpose it will be as" izifaniolisitS;thif Cowboys of the Revolution.. • ' • • • , ..•••:.,..:(f4 • - • Mr. VA LLANDIGHAIVI. Amen ! Mi iZIGHT. 'Why, the:gentleman ought have R straightjacket.. (Laughter.] , r. TALL.ANDIGTIMir. - Fend the i'ours *hi% .• you have been wearing for the Met twakty months. Mr: WRIGHT. If you were to get my jacket you would be a better Democrat than you ever were in your life. [Laughter.] Mr. VALLANDIGHAM. Have the kindness to loan it to me. 'Mr. WRIGHT, resuming, said: Our men have power and courage, and will put down the rebellion. [Cries of ," Good.") The infernal devils at the South are trying to destroy our Government, and men at the North are aiding and abetting them. Loyal men only, he said, are my brothers. "Let the rebels alone!" Was there ever a rogue but wanted to be let alone 1 "No rogue e'er felt the halter draw With good opinion of the law," and yet.their rebel necks itch for the halter. They are not'only' attempting to slay the North, but to destroy the best Government ever, made by God or man. We had better make another sacrifice of men, than a dishonorable peace. • In conclusion, he said we must fight to restore the Government; we must fight for the Stars and Stripes ; for the Constitution and the Union of our fathers. The House then adjourned. EUROPE. News from India, China, and Australia— • The Relations between• Prance and Spain —The Political News Unimportant. New Yoiret, Jan. 14.—The steamer China ar rived at noon. • It 'is again reported that the Con federate Government has appointed an agent in England to obtain a loan. The Gibraltar Chronicle says that the Federal authorities who protested against the sale of the Sumpter, still persist in regarding her in the light of a privateer, and the United States steamer Chip pewa continues-to watch her from Algeciras. The Sumpter, which is now called the Gibraltar, recently made a trial trip to test her machinery. The Chippewa also got in motion. The Sumpter soon returned to her anchorage, and the Chippewa returned to Algesiras. The English papers contain but little of moment in regard to American affairs. The London, Times looks upon the rumor of Mr. Seward's resignation as an evidence of despondency. It thinks the Federate begin to see the hopelessness of the struggle, but their national pride prevents them from acknowledging the fact. • The Times, in an editorial on the projected negro emigration from America to the British West In dies, regrets that political objections at present stand in the, way. It hopes the scheme may not suffer from these objections, but be ultimately carried out. Air. Caldwell, in a speech at Oxford, ardently hoped for peace in . America. He asserted thellurity of - British motives, and „their steadfast adherence to neutrality. He looked upon the American contri butions to the distressed at Lancashire as an evidence of good will and affection. The Princess Louis, of Hesse, is at Osborn, and the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, at Ber lin, had met with a carriage accident without seri ous result. Napoleon's diplomatic reception on New Year's day was unimportant; merely. congratulatory and pacific phrases were interchanged. At a similar ceremony the King of Italy regretted that the wishes of the nation had not been yet ac complished, but hoped that the national cause .isrould yet be triumphant. • The Pope received the officers of the French army, and expressed thanks for their continued protection. He believed that Piedmont:would yet repent. .The resignation - of..Goncha, as ambassador at Paris,' had been accepted by the Spanish Govern ment. • . The Correspondeucia Aulografa says that the rela tons between France and Spain are not endangered. s.l.kr.nouniii, Nov. 25.—The gold.shipments since the last mail have been ounces. There was a run on the Colonial Bank, but it has subsided. , , , Commercial Intelligence. vimPoOL, Jan. 3.-Cotton-The Brokers ' circular says: Upon the nisuinption of business on Monday there was a very active and general demand, largely participated in by spinners, which -resulted in sales of 20,000 bales at 54 34d gi lb rise in'all de.serintions. The most marked ad- Vance was, however, in East India, which continues the principal article of consumptiou. The increase in the ac tual stock as compared with the estimates Ls about 103,000 bales, caused chiefly by the large onantity of cot ton returned by. the trade for resale, and which was not taken: into the weekly estimates: ' The hnmediate Mica of the increase was to cause a pause in the buying: Some holders submitted to a de cline of 3i@XdAi ib, which has since been recovered to the extent of fully one-balf, prices closing about ad only 'below last Monday's rates. - The sales of Friday are esti mated at about 5,000 bales, 2500 being on speculation and for export. Messrs.- Clare Sr Son's Circular of Friday calls the decline, since the stocktaking, ld.on Brazil and Egyptian, Vgild on American, and about •3.‘d. on Surat, 'with more tone at the close. The total .stock on hand at the end Of the year was 392,450 bales, including 70,000 TRADE AT MANCHESTER —A more cheerful tone pervaded the market yestei day, and but for the firmness of holders considerable business might have been done. Very full prices were, however, demanded, and business WM consequently checked.

The vote stood as follows : James W. Wall 53 Richard S. Field 22 Wm. Cook, of Hudson 2 • Wm. A.•NeW,ell " ' United States Senators from Indiana.

Heavy Fog in New York liarbor—lleten- tiou of Steamers. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—There is a heavy fog pre vailing to-night, and the steamers City of Balti more and Teutonia, from Europe, are still below, being detained thereby. The Sound boats left at their usual hour, and have probably anchored in Cow bay. The steamers Asia, for Liverpool, and Eagle for Havana, did not sail. Peace. Resolutions. The following resolutions were offered in the New Jersey Legislature last Monday, and were made the special order for the 22d instant. Their reading was received with a faint acclamation: Be it resolved by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of Aew Nerseg: First. That it is the sense of the Legislature, and of the people of New Jersey, that the civil war, in which the nation is unhappily involved; ought not to be protracted one moment longer than is necessary to test the power of the Government, within the limits which the Consti tution has imposed, and that so soon as the conduct of the war requires or involves the sacrifice of rights which the Constitution secures, it ought to cease. Second. That the people of New Jersey, their re pree6ntatives here assembled, and the gallant sol diere who, without compulsion, have rushed to arms to maintain the Constitution, believe that the time for honorable pacification has arrived, and that every effort ought to be made to effect it, and avert the consequences which must ensue from a con tinuance of war at the expense of constitutional freedom. Third. That the recent proclamation of emancipa tion; the division of a sovereign State without the consent of its people and Legislature; the appoint ment of Military Governors, and the attempt on the part of the Executive to control the popular branch of Congress by fraudulent military elections of Re presentatives are gross violations of the Constitu tion and merit and receive the condemnation of this • - Legislature. • Fourth. That to the same category belongs the system of arbitrary arrests—the infringement of the freedom of the press—the executive suspension of the writ of habeas corpus—the confiscation and seizure of property without judicial process, and the es tablishment of military authority beyond the lines of the army, and all attest the evil tendency of civil war. Fifth. That in view of the possibility of greater evils in the dark future before us, it is the duty of the.Leg:islature and the Executive of the State to. economize and cultivate its credit and resources, maintain and improve its military organization, and to lake all necessary and proper means to as sert the integrity, the dignity, and sovereignty of the State. Sixth. That as in the heat of passion, excited by civil war, it is impossible to approach the discussion of measures of peace with that calmness which is requisite, an armistice of six months should be established between the contending States. Seventh. That in the third month after the ar mistice has been agreed to, one delegate should be elected in each Congressional district in each State, which delegi.te should on.the second Monday of the . • ensuing month assemble in Convention in the city of Lexington, in the State 0-Kent...le/it, fo amtigi such measures of amicable settlement as shall be presented. An'ey AND NAVY GAZETTE.—The January num ber of this excellent publication is the best yet pub lished. It is in the inevitable nature of things that it must soon be published weekly.

GERMAN FORTRESSES.—The German for tresses have been greatly strengthened during the last two years. Six • hundred rifled cannon have been added to the armaments, and all the former material has.been replaced by that of modern inven tion. 'Luxembourg has been fortified by the con struction of a new work. At Mentz two new forti fications upon the northwest side, towards Bingen, have been commenced. On the side which is most exposed the ramparts are also carried forward. The Diet has under consideration the establishment of an entrenched camp at RostOff. At Ulm the forts which form the fortified camp are to be increased. RECOVERY OF ; LOST. JEWELS.-Two years ago a great' robbery was 'committed at the Uffizit :Museum, in. Florence, when many vahiablejewels were stolen. • Some Of theSe were recovered in 1861, but the remainder were missing- until the 13th of December last, when the remaining three hundred and three historical jewels; rings, cameos, and other objects of value, were discovered, through the active ettorts of the police, buried in an obscure spot on the banks of the Arno. •How the discovery was made is not staled, but the fact of these articles having been returned to the State is received with universal sa tisfaction.
