On Friday April 8th, Mr Long, member of Congress from Ohio, read a written speech, in the ccttrse of which he made the follow ing declaration. He would make any reasonable sacrifice to bring back the seceded States, but not use force, for the Union could only exist in the hearts and with the consent of the people. If the Democratic party were now in power they could not restorthc Union of the States. There were only two questions firlt, the recognition of the Confederacy : and second, the continuation of the war for the subjuga tion of the South. Of the two he preferred the former. He believed the Democratic party were for peace, and would be placed in a false position if they nominated a war candidate. On Saturday morning, immediately upon calling tte House to order, Speaker Colfax called Mr. Rollins of N. II., to the chair, and introduced a resolution to expel Mr. Long, for using treasonable language in his written speech of Friday. Messrs, Cox, Kelly, Allen and Garfield made some re marks pro and con. When Mr. Garfield had concluded, Mr. Harris (copperhead from Md.,) obtained the floor and among other things said He endorsed every sentiment uttered by Mr. Long yesterdaj', and he would Etand by the latter for weal or woe. If there was any honesty in any party they, wotild rise like a hurricane and sweep away those who are preying upon the vitals . of the Republic. lie (Mr. Harris) teas not only in favor of recognizing the Southern Lomederacy, but acquiesced in the doctrine of Secession. Quite a scene ensued then in consequence of some personal remarks of Mr. Harris, and for which he was compelled to take hi3 seat. Fernando Wood next got the floor arid re marked That the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Long) had declared in his written speech that he would prefer the recognition of the Southern Confederacy as an alternative, rather than the people of the Sout h should be subjugated ami exterminated, and he (Mr. Wood) endor sed this, and they could expel him for it" As Mr. Long's speech had not 5-et been published, Mr. Colfax moved that his reso lution be postponed until Monday. A mo tion was also made to expel Mr. Harris, on which Mr. Washburn moved the previous question. The vote was immediately taken, and the resolution was lost by a strict party vote of yeas 81, nays 53 two-thirds being required to carry it Every copperhead memler voted against the resolution of ex pulsion, thus virtually endorsing the senti ments uttered by Messrs. Long, Harris and Wood. Here we have the humiliating fact, that while the leaders of the so-called Democrat ic party are pretending to be in favor of the Union they are really in sympathy with the traitors of the South, and opposed te prose cuting the war against the rebrl; Mr. Long fall so very plainly when he remarked that "the Democratic party were for peace, and would be placed in a false position if they nominated a war candidate. " Thus are the copperhead leaders one after another, defin ing their creed, and, we hope, that the honest masses of the American people will soon be convinced of the true position that these semi-secessionists occupy towards our common country, in our present struggle for National existence. THE WAE NEWS. Later news from the Red River expedi tion is received in Cairo and New-Orleans, by steamship, which left the latter place on the 3d inst Onthe2Sthof March, Gen. Smith's forces had a fight with the Rebel Gen. Dick Taylor's army, 12,000 strong, on Cane River, 11 miles above Alexandria, in .which the Rebels were. defeated with a loss of 200 killed and wounded, and 300 prison ers. It was Gen. Smith's intention to pur sue the enemy, and make him fight a pitch ed battle. About forty guerrillas entered Shelby villc, Ky., at 1 o'clock a. m. on the 8th inst., t-tole seven horses, and broke open the Branch Bank of Ashland ; but before they could rifle it of its contents they became al armed at the proximity of the 12th Ohio Cavalry, and dccaniped. The rest of them were .arrested and confined irr Taylorsville Jail last Friday, but on Sunday their com rades made an attack on the jail and releas ed them. Dispatches from Vicksburg to the 3d say that the Rebels attacked Rook's plantation (which is being worked by the Government), near Snydcrsville, on the Yazoo River, on Friday last, and destroyed all the valuable buildings and machinery. The 1st Massa .chuscttfS Cavalry (colored) six hundred strong, drove the Rebels off, after an hour's fight. The enemy numbered nearly fifteen hundred. The Difference Gen. Grant's reports of his military operations for a j'ear and a half will not make one fifth as .many look pages as the report of Gen. McClellan. The former records victories, captures and states reclaimed. The latter, delay, disaster and .loss from begining to end. , Eight millions of dollars have been sent to the Army of the Totomac, in chnrg of .ixten paymasters. "Miscegenation." The word miscegenation" is fast becoming fa miliar from the frequency with which it occurs in the newspapers of thq day. The late number of the Copperiiead Fulminator, of this place, pro nounces it "the last grand idea of Abolitionism," and states that Greeley, Congressman Kelly and "the dog Forney" are all in favor of it, while we, though we "do not quite support it," have not "a word of rebuke." It might be interesting, if not profitable, to inquire what the so-called '-new doc trine" is, who are in favor of it, and who prac tice it? ".Miscegenation" is but another word for "a malgamation." and means, strictly, the intermar riage of different races but, more generally, the mixture of white and black blood Using." it in the sense of intermarriage between whites and blacks, there are certain circumstances under which we would not utter ''a word of rebuke" ; as, for instance, when a leading disciple of the political school of the "Copperhead Fulininator" brings himself to the level of a negro wench, and so far overcomes his repugnance to the race as to make her the mother of bis children, then, we say, according to the laws of God and man, he ought to marry her. When John U. Andrews, one of the Copperhead leaders, who figured large ly at the celebrated Peace meeting in the Cooper institute, in New-York, and in the bloody riots which followed (he was president of the 8th ward Democratic club in 18(50), was arrested by the Po lice, he was found in bed with a negro wench at No 10, Eleventh st. Eight months before, when the same negress was indicted for keeping a house of prostitution, Andrews appeared before the bar of the court and demanded to plead her cause. When she was subsequently arrested on a bench warrant, she was found in his company at an up town hotel. Now, wo eay if she was not his wife, she ought to have been. In such ca'es it can not be said that we "do not quite support the doo trine,' for we are decidedly in favor of it. Again: when a Copperhead prefers to marry a negress, however little we may admire his taste, we do not think he ought to be permitted, after wards, to take advantage of the fact of her color to procure a divorce. Therefore Perley Vallan digham, nephew of the great Ohio martyr (fur whom the editors of the "Fulminator" and cer tain "ladies" not a thousand miles from Clearfield, lately raised a ten cont subscription) ought not to have his marital rights interfered with, but should be permitted to enjoy undisturbed tho society of the colored woman to whom he is married , and with whom he lives in the city of Muscatine. His brother, living on the opposite side of the river, also married to a ntgress, should enjoy the same immunity from interference by the opponents of miscegenation. They have but followed the il lustrious exampleof that distinguished Democrat, Eichard -IJohnston, once Vice President, who married a negress and raised a largo family by her. "There is no accounting for taste3," and, as there would seem, from these examples, to be a sort of affinity between copperheads and niggers, we see no good reason why any one should -forbid the banni.' But the editors of the '-Fulminator,'1 who re gard slavery as a "Divine Institution," and sym pathise so strongly with the "chivalry," ought to bo tho last persons in the world to object to tho doctrine of miscegenation ; for the promiscuous concubinage that has so long, and so shamelessly, prevailed on the Southern plantations, has become a veritable part and parcel of that "Institution," while, instead cf Ihi idea of a mixture of white and black blood being revolting to their South ern friends, it is rather a Rubject for congratula tion. The breeding of a bright-eyed mulatto boy, or of a quadroon girl for the brothels of Charles ton and New-Orleans, is regarded as a fit achieve ment to boast of. The fact of tho practice of mis cegenation throughout the entire "Confederacy" is too patent to be denied. Only a short time ago a number of emancipated slaves, set free by Gen. Butler, were brought from New-Orleans by Col. Hanks, and among them was a daughter and a son of two distinguished Generals in the Babel Army. Rebecca Huger. the daughter of Brigadier-General lfuger, was a slave in her father's house, and is, to all appearance, perfectly white. The son of Brigadier-General Withers is eight years old, with fair complexion and light hair, lie has been twice sold as a slave first by his own father o a slave-trader named Harrison, who sold him to Mr. Thornbill of New-Orleans. Rosina Downos, another of the children, is a fair little girl of seven years, with blonde complexion and silky hair. Her tather is now in the Rebel army. She has one sister as white as herself, and threo brothers that are darker. Permother isa mulatto. These instances might be multiplied a thousand fold, but it is useless to adduce evidence to prove that which is too manifest to be denied. Those who sympathise with the "chivalry" that sells its children, and with tho "gentlemen" who seduce the most friendless and defcncelcssof women who see nothing to condemn in men that doom their own flesh and blood to the fate of brutes, and. so far as they can, destroy tho light of humanity iu their souls may harp on about miscegenation, and seek to cover up their own infamy by misrep resenting tho sentiments and opinions of others, but all such efforts to conceal the hideous enormi ties of the 'Institution' will prove abortivo. The war has brought the people of this country face to lace with the unspeakable infamy of slavery. No amount of misrepresentation, prevarication and falsohood on the part of tho apologists of the sys tem, can prevent tho firfl and entire exposure of its loathsome, and, heretofore, secret history. The frecmon of the North now soldiers in the field no longer obtain thoir knowledge of it from such teachers as the editors of the "Fulminator" and their political idols, for they see the thing itself as it really is, - a double-handed curso, smiting both slave and master" and their appallod and indignant common sense sees also, that no honor able and permanent peace is possible, except upon the condition of its entire annihilation. They see plainly, that the system is essentially inconi patible with free popular government, and is, thereforo, nothing but perpetual rebellion. For whether the Abolitionists or Secessionists are res ponsible for tho war, there could have been nei ther the one or the other without slavery, llenco every true patriot rejoices, that to save the Union, it was necessary to destroy that system which de fies alike the law of God and the instincts of man. An officer, who accompanied Gen. Ranks on the Red River .expedition, writes that the heavens were one dense mass of smoke, from the burning cotton along the river. He estimates that probably naer thirty thous and bales have been destroyed since our landing and capture of Fort de Russy, which gave the rebels the first intelligence that we were upon them. Draft Postponed. It is announced in the Eastern papers that the Draft has been postponed until the 1st June. Democratic State Convention. The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con vention met in Philadelphia on the 24th ult. We have not had room heretofore to notice their proceedings. After organizing, and appointing a delegation, to the National con vention to be held at Chicago July 4, 1864,and arranging an electoral ticket, -he following resolutions were adopted without discussion: tZesotvcd. That as we have no State candidate to present to the people, and no issue involved in the coming election other than those which affect the welfare and liberties of our sister States c qaally with ours, we leave it to our representa tives in the Chicago Convention to unite with the representatives of the other sovereignties of the North' in embodying the sentiment of the people in a declaration of principles acceptable to all the States, on whom wo rely to elect a President, and bring back peace and union to this distracted land. Kesolv'jl, That the Democracy of Pennsylvania hereby express their preference for tho nomina tion of Gen. George B. McClellan, as the Demo cratic candidate for the Presidency by the Chica go Convention, and that the delegates to said Con vention be instructed to vote as a unit on all ques tions arising therein, as a majority of the dele gation shalldecide. Resolv ed. That the first necessary step to restore the welfare and prosperity of tho Amerisan Re public is to get rid of the present corrupt Federal Administration, and the sure way to accomplish this end is a thorough organization of the time- honored Democratic party, and the prevalence of union and Harmony among its members. The Chambersburg Repository, noticing the action of this Convention, pertinently remarks : Alas ! how the mighty are fallen ! One year ago they denied every feature of our war policy every measure designed to vin dicate the.government against the murderous assaults of treason. Now they seem to think that the Lincoln administration is no worse than that of Jeff. Davis, for they denounce neither. In lbf3 they deemed only the ad ministration of Lincoln as meriting their re buke, while that of Davis escaped without so much as one word of denunciation; but one year of progress and they seem to hesitate whether they may not yet prefer their own government to the usurpation of perjured traitors. True they declare the Lincoln ad ministration to be corrupt, and demand its overthrow and a return to Democratic puri ty such, we presume, as characterized "J. 1J," in the Leeompton infamy ; and they o mit all reference to the existence of treason or traitors on the continent, but it is some thing in the way of defence to loyalty that they now do only by implication what r they did boldly nine months ago ; and what they believe just now, or what they are to believe during the next Presidential contest, they don't pretend to know. They frankly con fess that they are prepared to accept any declaration of principles that will insure success, and they so inform the Chicago Convention. They call upon their National Convention not to adhere to any principle not to look to the preservation of the U nion and the overthrow of treason nor to vindicate the devotion of the party to the true theory of government in this trying cri sis ; but to adopt such a "declaration of principles" as will be "acceptable to all the States on whom we rely to elect a Presi dent." and it is to be done after uniting and conferring with the "other Sovereignties of the iorth ! Ihc Union is ignored, in o bediencc to the teachings of Davis ; and the general government, and its paramount claims upon the States, are thrust aside to bring out before the people Tor thoir appro val, that fruitful parent of discord and des olation, Sovereignties instead of States. With such a concession to treason, there is nothing left to battle for ; with such a plat form, the man supporting it, who at the same time supports a war For" the preserva tion of the Lnion, is a hypocrite and a trai tor cither to his convictions or tohiscountry. If South Carolina was a Sovereignty in the Uhion, who dare coerce her to stay or to re turn to it ? If this doctrine be the true in terpretation of the compact by which the Federal Union was created, then was Beau regard right in lombarding Sumter ; then was he right in defending Virginia ; and Lee's cause to-day is the cause of Liberty and Law. There can be no middle ground. The States must either be subordinate or sovereign if subordinate, secession is war, and the government must repress it or cease to estt. If they are sovereign, secession is right, if the people of a State desire it, and coercion is wanton, wicked desolation. To declare therefore iu recognition of the "Sov ereignties of the North" is to declare a re cognition of the right of secession, and to vindicate everything in the crimsoned his tory of treason during three years of relent less war. The Convention that declared the Na tional Union but a fiction and a fraud, by recognizing above its sacred landmarks the "Sovereignties of the North," and that in stucts the Chicago Convention to adopt any sort of principles which may! "acceptable to all the States on which we rely to elect a President," presented General McClellan as its candidate. Whether he is of such easy political virtue as to approve the com panionship in which he finds himself, and whether he admires the oliey of instructing him to believe anything and everything that will win in the next political campaign, time must determine ; but of one thing the Na tion will not be indifferent. If he accepts the doctrine that subordinates the Federal Union to the caprices of petty "sovereign ties," then was he wise in evey refusing to deliver battle to the enemy, for to fight in such "a cause would have been to draw his sword in the atrocious murder of his coun trymen.

GEEAT CEUTEAL FAIE, JFOK THE SANITARY COMMISSION. Office of the Committee on Labor, Incomes and REVENrts, No. 113 bourn 7th Street, Philadelphia, April 4th; 1S64 The Committee on "Labor, Incomes, and Reve nues," invite' oo-operation with them in the particular work for which they have been ap pointed. As no portion of the people' are more patriotic than the working men and women of the country, it is Rut just and proper that they should alike have an opportunity to contribute to the objects ot the Fair. The mostequableplan for accomplishing this, and, at the same time the easiest one. is to ask for the contribution of a single day's labor from all classes in the commu nity. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their money." Te reach every department of industry and art will be a work of great labor, but, if attained, will be productive of immense results. The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every element of influence within our limits, and we invite all the guardians of the industrial interests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering this great work of pa triotism and humanity. The committee Is charged with the following duty, to wit : First. To obtain the contribution of "one day's labor," or earning3.from every artisan and labor er, foreman, operative and employee ; president, cashier, teller and clerk of evory corporated and unincorporated company, railroad and express , company, employing firm, bank, manufactory, oil works, iron works, mill, mine, and public office ; from every private banker and broker, importer, auctioneer and merchant ; clerk, agent, and sales man ; designer, finisher and artiit : publisher, printer and mechanic ; from every Government' officer, contractor and employee; grocer.bntcher, baker and dealer; farmer.hori icuiturist and pro ducer; from every mantau maker, milliner and female operative; every individual engaged in turning the soil, tend'ng the loom, or in any way earning a livelihood, or building a fortune within tho States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Del aware. Second. To obtain the contribution of one day's 'Revenue' from all the great employing es tablishments, firms, corporations, companies rail roads and works. Third. To obtain the contribution of one day's income from every retired person, and person of fortuno male and female living upon their means, and from all clergymen, lawyers, physi cians, dentists, editors, authors, and professors ; all other persons engaged in the learned or other professions. Much of this work must be performed by tho peisonal influence and efforts of ladies and gentle men associated, or to be associated, with the com mittee in carrying out this plan. The committee feel the responsibility of tho work they have undertaken, which to be success ful, will require a very perfect ramifjcittion of their plan, and they therefore call upon all earn est peoplo to aeseinble themselves together iu ev ery town, township and county, and form organi zations of ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with them in this great work of labor and love. In tho manufacturing counties, tho coal and oil regions, nnd in the agricultural districts, especi ally, let there be organizations in the large towns, so that the young people may have an opportu nity thus to render assistance to their relatives and friends fighting the baitles of thuir country in the armies of tho nation. Tho work of this committee may bo prosecuted where no other effort can be made for tho Fair.ns in the mines of the coal region. A day's earn ings of the miners, and a day's product of the mines can be obtained, where no portable article could be procured for transportation. Indeed there is no part or sectiou of these States where the day's labor may not be obtained, if organiza tions can be formed to reach them The committee cannot close t ithout urging up on all proprietors of establishments, the duty of taking prompt and energetic action to secure the benctit of the day of Labor from all within their control. The committee deem Jt unnecessary to do moie than thus to present the subject to the people of the three States named. In the coming campaigns of our armies, the labors of tho ''Sanitary Com mission will be greatly auginentod. By the first of June 700.000 one of the largest armies of modern times will bo operating iu tho field. So large a force, scattered over regions to which the men aro unacc'imated. must necessarily carry along with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to say nothing of the gathered hor rors of the battlefield. These sufferings it is our bounded duty, as men and christians, to relieve. A great and enlight ened people, enjoying tho blessings of a Govern ment of their own making, cannot rofase assist ance to men suffering to maintain its authority, and we will not believe that tho "GREAT CEN TRAL FAIR," drawing its products from tho three States of Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and Delaware, so affluent in all mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall behind any sim ilar effort for the relief of the Nation's children. As it is desirablo not to multiply circulars : jYo further authority than this circular icill be iirccssary for any employing firm or company, or any respectable committee o f ludir and gentlemen, to proceed at once in the work of this committee. And it is hoped that .under it, organizations will spring up in all the towns and busy regions of the States of Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and Delaware. Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in the newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that they commence soon, as each fresh acknowledgment will stimulate efforts in other lo calities. All subscriptions should be addressed to Jons W. Claghorn, Treasurer, office of the '-Committee on Labor. Incomes, and Revenue," No. lis South Seventh Street, Philadelphia. 411 needful help in circulars and Posters will be forwarded to parties applying for them.

The Commercial Bank was emptied, and the vaults broken open and robbed of specie and bank notes. It is presumed that they secured a large a. mount of treasure from the different hous es of the city. The raid was very destruc tive to Paducah and the surrounding coun try ; every rebel soldier was loaded down with rich booty, and the leaders gloated over the spoils of private property secured tor themselves. A "Fremont" meeting was held in Titts burg, week before last, which is represen ted as having been a grand fizzle. . IMP0ETANT TE0M THE "WEST. Forrest Captures Fort Pillow Massacre of 400 Union Prisoners Whites and Blacks Butchered Indiscriminately Pluck and Valor of Union Soldiers, etc. The intelligence received at Cairo, April, 14thr furnishes another tad chapter in tho history of this war. It appears that on luesday inormhg, FoTest, with wme men," attacked Eort Pillow. Soon after the at tack, Forrest sent a flag of truce, demand ing the surrender of the fort and garrison meanwhile disposing his force so us to gain abvantage. Major iiooth, of the 1 3th Ten nessee Cavalry, was in command of the fort, with four huneredof that regiment, and two hundred of the 1st battalion of the 6th li nked States Heavy Artilery, formerly the 1st Alabama Cavalry (colored). The flag of truce was refused, .jtnd the fighting was resumed. Afterwards a second" ting tsnuie in, which was also refuMxl. Both flairs gave the rebels advantages in gaining new positions. The battle was kept up until three o'clock p. m.,when Maj. liooth being killed, 31 aj. -Bradford took command. The rebels, who now came in swarms, over powered our troops, comnellincr their sur render. Immediately upon the surrender ensued a scene which utterly baffles descrip tion. Up to that time comparatively few of our men were killed ; but insatiate as fiends, blood-thirsty as devils incarnate, the Confederates commenced iadiscriminttite butcher! of ichitas and blacks , including those of both colors preciously wounded. The black soldiers, becoming demoralized rush ed to the rear of the white officers, They having thrown down their anils both white and black wore bayonetted, shot or sabred. Even dead bodies were horribly mutilated, and children seven and eight years of age, and several negro women, -Were killed in cold blood. Soldiers unable to speak from wounds were shot dead and their bodies rol led down banks into the river. Dead and wounded negroes were piled in heaps and burned, and several citizens who joined our forces for protection were killed or wounded. Out of the garrison of GOO, only 200 re mained alive. Among our dead officers are Captain Bradford. Lieutenants Barr, Ack crstrom, Wilsoii.Keval and Major Booth, all of the 13th Tennessee cavalry. Captain Boston, Lieut Lyon, of the 13th Tennes see, and Captain Young, of the 2Ai Mis souri, acting provost marshal, were taken prisoners. Major Bradford also was cantur- 1. I t . x . eu , out ne is .satj to nave escape-,!. It is feared, however, that he lias been killed. The steamer Platte Valley came up about half past three and was hailed by tho rebels under a fiau of trace. Men were sent ashore to bury the dea l aril take abftard such wounded as the reikis had allowed to live. Fifty-seven were taken on board. irK-'uding seven or eight colored. Eight died on the way up. The steamer arrived here this evening and was immediate!? sent to the Mound City Hospital to discharge her suf fering cargo. Among the wounded officers of colored troops are Captain Porter, and Lieutenants Sibbarts and Lemming. Six guns were captured by the rebels and car ried off, including two 10-pounder Parrots and two twei ve-po'inder howitzers. A large amount of stoi es was destroyed or carried a way. The intention of the rebels seemed to be to evacuate the place, and move on tow ards Memphis. It seems that certain of the Sioux Indian saved many whites in Minnesota from mas sacre, at the risk of their lives and at the expense of exile. Xow, Senator Boo little proposes to do something for them, having prepared a bill appropriating if 10, 003 for them.
