E Lte.ll 0 LA V 7 / 4 n the House of Repre sentatives, ire are glad to see that Mr. SIT ARP -14,0 has , introduced a resolution instructing the..lndioiary Committee to report upon a revision of ‘ tho election laws. We hope our worthy representative will see that the time for the meeting of the Return Judges be Qx.- ed on: the Wednesday following the election inptead of Friday. This will prevent much fraud, and secure an early knowledge of the result,. TUE ATTACH ON CITY POINT. Five rebelvessels came down James river early on Tuesday morning, to destroy our works and depots at City Point. A battle ensued with our nearest fort. One of the ves sels was blown up, and two others were no badly disabled that they were quickly towed up the stream by the remaining two. Ad miral Farragut left Washington on Tuesday evening for James river, and it is understood that he will assume the naval command there. The following are the particulars as far as they could bo ascertained from a deserter from 'the expedition : The fleet left their moorings about 6 o'clock last evening, proceeding quietly till getting near our batteries, when they were discover ed, and the . batterieS immediately opened upon them, to which they replied. At about l 2 o'clock they succeeded in cutting the chain in front of our obstructions, near the signal station, beyond tho lower end of the Dutch Gap Canal, whoa the Fredericksburg, under a full head of steam, passed through the ob structions, completely demolishing one of the sunken canal boats. The Richmond, Drew ry and Virginia, in attempting to follow, grounded, when the Frederick ,:burg lied to go to their assistance. The Drewry (mold not be got off and was obliged to be abandoned, as it was now daylight, and they were with in range of Battery Parsons. As soon as it became light the battery opened on the Drewry, one of the shells fall ing in her magnzirn•, which exploded—com pletely demolishing her. The remainder of tho fleet then made their way back. up the river. WE are apt to be free with our jl)kos upon Doctors and their drugs, until sick, and in need of their aid, they all alike boiv to the necessity of recourse to their hard-earned end ofter(ill-requited skill. The prevailing belief that physicians frown upon whatever deviates from their peculiar system arid usages, arises from the fact that their better information leads them soonest to detect and discard the medical delusions arid impositions that tire thrust ilium the cominunity. That they are ready and prompt to a dopt any re ally valuable invention is seen by the treat ment Doctor ,J. C. Ayer's Chemical Reme dies have received at their hands. They ap preciate the value of the-e medicines because they know their compoidtion, and where is the man who ever heard a re-teet ebb^ physi cian either disparage thew or degiourage their use? No profession or pursuit has dine• more for the human family than the medical pro ((talon. Nuee is followed by nobler own or for nobler ends; nor is there one which bet ter deserves the thanks of mankind.— . y.) Democrat. LADI ES' FI; RS.

Mr. Dixon proposed an amendment to the Constitution to enable Congress to iva pose duties upon imports. A bill for the better organization of the paymaster's de partment of the navy was passed. The re taliatory resolutions of Mr. Wade were post poned. In the Rouse of Representatives Mr. Wash burn intrduced a joint resolution, .-bleb was passed, reducing the duty on /printing paper to 3 per cent. ad valorem. A reply was re ceived from the Secretary of War in relation to the resolution of inquiry concerning the exchange of prison'ers, in which he states that the whole matter has been placed in the' hands of Lieut. General Grant for adjust ment. A resolution of inquiry as to the as sault on Judge Kelley by Judge Field was 'adopted. Mr. Brooks, of New York, rising to a question of privilege, produced 'a letter from (lon. Butler in the nature of a chal lenge, calling bins (Brooks) to account for words spoken in debate. The chair ruled the question of privilege out of order, pend ing an appeal from which decision the Rouse adjourned. TUESDAY, Jan. 24.—1 n U. S. Senate 3t r. Wilson introduced a bill amendatory of the enrollment act, which makes suave im portant changes in the existing law. 31r.

In the House Mr. Farnsworth introduced a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the committee of ways and means to inquire into the expediency of retnoving the tariff on • all materials used for manufacturing printing paper. The question of privilege raised by Mr. Brooks, in relation to a letter sent to him by Gen. Butler, was discussed, but no action taken. . . Wkarsisenky, Jan. 25.—1 n the U. S. Sen ate the, bankrupt bill was reported back with amendments, not, however, essentially chang ing the features of the measure. The defi ciency bill was•lost, the Senate refusing to concur in the House amendment increasing the-Aalaries of employees. The retaliatory resolutions wore discussed, but no action taken. the House resolutions of thanks to Gen. Sheridan were adopled, Messrs. liarris, of Maryland, and Chilton White, of Ohio,^vot trt. the negative.

The difficulties which enviren the disposal of the white troops are really greater than those affecting the distri bution of the negro soldiers and fugitives, in the field. The material of labor is less duc tile; and cannot so readily be brought un der the operation of large plans for the ap plication of labor whose success depends up on the tractability, and luck of individually in the employees. The cultivation of the soil will afford the 'most available method for the immediate employment of the eman cipated negroes whose intelligence and skill has been directed, almost solely, in that. „ iii rection. The ample fields of the bouth and West will be ()lien to them ; and where they are not provided with employment by in dividual proprietors of lands, it will be no difficult or unprofitable task for the govern ment through its agents, to organize and employ the negroes whom the return of peace throws on its hands as discharged sol diers and refugees, in agricultural pursuits. The gaps occasioned in the different de partments of labor by the rapid collection of such large armies have been to It great ex tent, supplied by the youths who, since the commencement of the war have grown into these places, by immigrants, by women who arc now more universally employed in sales rooms and as clerks than formerly, and by e more econimical adaptation of labor, short ening the necessity for hands.

Continued and increasing discoveries of the precious metals, effected over a vast arca: and the, extraordinary success of laborer, in the gold and silver fields of tho nation can not have failed to attract the notice of ad venturous men—and more of this class are now to be found in the array than elsewhere. And doubtless many have, resolved to seek their fortunes in the mountains at the expi ration of their terms of seri, ice, to whom the idea would never had occurred had not the necessities of their country called them into the field, and compelled them to dissolve their business connections at home. But in the first history of a mining coun try the efforts of gold seekers, no matter how industrious, are not always successful, and it is only when the working of quartz veins attracts capital, which demands and or ,, anize, labor, that gold and silver mining Cocomes steadily remunerative, and induces perma nent settlement. The immense profits of investments in mineral lands and in machi nery requisite to work the quartz veins, af ford sufficient inducements to eastern capi talists when the facts are more apparent, especially us such enterprises do not suffer through competition, therpfore no direct aid is necessary from government for the purpose of opening and working the mines. Private enterprise is sufficient for this purpose—and all that is demanded of the government in this behalf is non-interference. It is true that this kind of production should bear its proportionate share of taxes—but to urge the claim of royalty in the mines would only be productive of disaster to mining enterprises. The government can limier successfully -work' our gold and: silver, lodes. But there are many things which the government might and should do in nidof this branch of in dustry and, for the benefit of that large glass of our citizens, now engaged and yet to be engaged in the mining business. A mining bureau should bo established, ono of whose objects it-should bo to disseminate informa tion for the benefit of both classes, laborers and capitalists. The roads from tie east to the mining regions should be bettor protected against the incursions of the Indians than they now are or ever have been, and this would involve a complete purging and ren ovation of all the forts tjtroughout the terri tories, and the extermination of the Indians who pershit year after year, regardless of. treaties, in murdering emigrants and steal-, ing their stock.

LINCOLN AND DAVIS. JUSTICE TO PRESI DENT LINCOLN When this war is over, history will do jus tice to the great master-spirit who has brought us out of it successfully. Even now he is ex torting praises from our enemies. So much has been said, says the North American, both north and south, in detraction of President Lincoln, and not by copperheads and rebels but by well meaning though misguided Re publicans, that it is refreshing to find an en emy so.untiring, uncompromising and relent less as the Charleston Mercury driven to do him mgrudging measure of justice, as it does in the following paragraph, which, despite the use of such terms as " knave," "black guard" and " binfoon," pictures him to its readers as possessed of the very highest qual- ities: I,Vhen Abraham Lincoln took the chair of the. Presidency of the United States, he promised in his flat-boat lingo to 'run the machine as his found it.' Whether he has strictly kept his promise, those may doubt wh o 0 1 1 0. 50 to consider the subject. It is enough for us to know that whether 'running his machine' in the pathway of his predeces sors or not, Ito has run it with a stern, in th‘x tile purpose, a bold, steady hand, it vigi lant, aiAive eye, it sleepless , m , rg y, a fanatic spirit, and All eye single to its end—conquest —emancipation.

General Butler sent his Aid to loot with the letter, while he was at hreakfa,it ; and Aid de-camp in full panoply, paid for out of the Treasury of the United l . itates, and at pre sent in the service of General Butler. If he had been a duellist he should have accepted the note in that character, but he resolved to resort to his rights as a member of that House, and on that ground he left it In be said whether he was correct or incorrect. Mr. INGERSOLL (Ill.)—What ground had you fur asserting that General Butler was a gold robber Mr. BROOKS—I cannot give my reason under the milling of the Chair. (Cries from the Dunweratic side.(—Lets have them: What are they? Mr. STEVENS—We had better confine oursidves to the legitimate line of debate. I require the gentleman to speak to the text. Mr. ING ERSOLL—I move the rules be suspended, in order that the gentleman may explain. The rules were suspended by a vote for that purpose. Mr. ST EVENS (in a low tone)—Wesus rend the rules that we may disgrace our selves. 11r. SPALDING inquired—Will it be in order to let Butler in the ring Mr. K FAUN AN—That is nut in accord ance with the precedent excluding. Mr. Field. Mr. 88.00.1i§ said this reason ho did nut reply to the letter was that he had known General Butler on a previous Occasion, in New Yolk, when surrounded by a staff of twenty or twenty-five officers, in the Huffman House, send out his aid-de-camp to demand the presence of .gentleman before him, and when the gentlemen appeared they found him seated at the table with his pistols be fore him, and this in the peaceable city of Now York. The grotind on which he made •the charge of Butler being a gold robber was certain transactions in Now Orleans and the pro ceedings in the Surrogate Court of New York. The plaintiff in the ease, Samuel Smith, procured. an order to Conmel Butler to•rotund certain money, stating in his de • position that ho went from Saratoga some years ago to Now Orleans, and' he and his brother entered into the bunking business on the 24th of Apri1, , 1862. When Admiral Farragut had passed° the forts he secreted. his gold. in the air cella of the vault, fearing that the city would be giv en to plunder. General Butler, on the Ist of May, issued an order / and directed every man to return to his business, promising that the right of *petty should be held snvio late, subject only to the laws of the United States. . . The deponent accordingly reopened "his banking hoisio; Onneral. Butler soon com 'moncee examining into the affairs of the , banliera; and finding the dbPonent had $OO,- 000 in gold,,he demanded the rncin'ey of him,, and - on-hin - rofasing - hc7NranthrOwn - mto - priF ..on-inntiloh:-rshreated-ttor'phycwof—doweeraz inent:. •aorkeinl ~ Butler has , now $50,000 of this gold,ao, .T 1,9 (Tifr..II.MOOKS) had only, to add that this' rooneybnil'neirer*licen paid into tlio IFetiatir'y of 'the . United gates, and yet remains in Butler's hands. Mr. LOAN (Mo.)—lias it ever been re turned to the proper department? Mr. BROOKS—It is not in the Treasury, Department.' ;: • Mr. LOAN—I understand that it hasbeen paid over to the War Depaitment. Mr. STEVENS asked what was the result of the suit to which the goiltlernan referred ? Mr. BROOKS replied it was still pending. The fact Lunt not to be discredited that the S.;50,(100 was not where it ought to be, but in the sole possession of General Butler. Mr. GOOCH (Mass.) I will say to the gen tleman if before making his 'charge he had taken occasion to investigate the facts, he would hive learned the circumstances under which the money was taken, and the readi ness of General Butler to obey the order of the War Department. A colloquy of a very spirited, rapid and earnest character followed. Mr. BROOKS asked—Did he make his re port before or after process issued ? Mr. GOOCH—I presume before; but I don't know the fact. Mr. BROOKS—I know ho did not, be fore the suit was entered. Mr. GOOCH—Was it not before the gen tleman made his statement on this floor ? Mr. BROOKti—I know that General But ler used the telegraph to say the money was in the Treasury when it was not there. Mr.GOOGII—Is it in accordance with yourposition hero to charge General Butler with being a gold robber? . . Mr. BADOKS—A man who robs a citizen and keeps the money until suit is instituted, and makes no report of the subject, deserves the epithet. Mr. • GOOCH—Does the gentleman say such is a fact Mr. BROOKS—It has been so stated to Mr. GOOCH—Did you not know the oth er day that General Butler had !wide his re port? Mr. 13 ROOKS—He was frightened into making the report. - .Mr.I.“MCII—If General Butler had tak en money while in command of New Or beam:, and had not reported the fact. to the. Government but attempted to conceal it, he luci committed a it rung, but if he has not done this then the gentleman from New York in calling General Butler "a geld rob bc•r Iw< done wrong. It seems to me the gentionmh h the ladt man who would not receive a note front a gentleman whom he charged with being "a gold robber" because he thinks he can shelter himself behind Ins Congre , sional privileges. BIiGOKS-llth the gold been ,given up or not _Mr. GOOCH-11'e had the gold ready to respond.

Destruction of the Smithsonion In stitution by Fire. A bout fifteen inimites to 3 o'clock on Tues day last, the cominunity was startled by seeing fire issuing from the Smithsonian Building, and shortly the whole central por tion of the huilding was enveloped in dames. Workmen had been eng aged during the day in hanging up pictures in the gallery all of which were consumed, with the exception of seine full- or live. The paintings thus de stroyed were very tine, and included Stanly's celebrated Indian Gallery. The lire spread rapidly, and soon the roof of the lecture room fell, driving out the Bremen, who were en deavoring to confine the flames to the pic ture gallery. The flames extended to the lecture room and main tower, and thence to the apparatus room. Only a small portion of the valuable apparatus in this room was saved, as the heavy apparatus could not be removed. The tiro spreading to other portions of the building, it was deemed prudent to remove the furniture from the east wing, occupied by Pref. lfenry as a private residence, and also•the stuffed birds and preparations from the taxidermist's room, but in the haste, and /rout the liarroWiless of the passages, much damage was done to the property No re moved. The windows of the picture gallery soon burst out, disclosing only the shell of the room. There were scm! 2110 of -Stanley's pictures here, and ho was just upon the point of selling them to the State of Michigan.— Indeed, not an hour before the fire broke out a lady who had been commissioned to see to the purchase was at the gallery examang them. In this room was the valuable statue of the Dying Gladiator, owned by Mr. McGuire, of this city, and which statue will of course be ruined as a work of art. Superintendent Richards, with a largo de tail of Metropolitan policemen, reached the place some fen minutes after the alarm was sounded; and immcdliaoly took possession of 'the building, allowing no one but the fire men and those connected with the institu tion to enter. Shortly afterwards a detachment of the provost guard, consisting of men. of the Dth regiment Veterah 'Reserve Corps, under eoill - of Lieut.'Patterson, reported to Su-• perintendent Webb for-duty, and rendered, efficient service in guarding the: property, and assisting in removing the affects of the building. --- . .

An anxious throng of witnesses pours into the galleries ; there is an air of confidence rising almost to exulta tion on the Union side, while a sullen gloom settles over the pro-Slavery benches. Archibald McAllister, Dem., of the XVl nth Pennsylvania District, reads a beauti ful paper, in which ho justifies his change of vote, and casts his ballot against the corner stone of the Rebellion. Alexander 11. Cuff roth, Dens., of Pennsylvania, XVlth Dis trict follows in an unanswerable and manly argument, to situ NV the power to amend and the policy to amend. Applause on the Re publican side greeted these new accessions to Freedom. 12.45.—Williani 11. Miller of Pennsylva nia, XlVth District (who woo beaten nt tho last election by George F. Miller, Union,) espouses pro-Slavery Democracy, and insists on keeping his party foot on the niggers. The galleries are gutting crowded, the floor of the House filling up. Anson Herrick, Democrat, IXth District of New York, next gives frank and states manlike reasons why he has changed his views, and shalt change his vote, In the midst of the speaking, and that buzzing which always characterizes a criti cal vote upon a great question, it is whisper ed that three Rebel Peace Commissioners, Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, are on their way here--that they were at City Point last night. A few believe, but most people say "gold gamblers' news." 1.20 r. tit.—The crowd increases.

It has taken the labor of an entire month, night and day, to secure the majority which to-day so de lighted the friends of freedom and of litunan ity„and so astounded the allies of slavery. To two Republicans in particular does the nation owe a debt of gratitude—to James M. Ashley, of Toledo, (thin, and Augustus Frank, of Warsaw, New York. They held the laboring oars. The Democrats were sure of defeating the measure by a large majority up to this noon: indeed, they felt sure of it up to the final voting. The Republicans were nut sure of success till last night. Three batteries of regular artillery have just saluted the grand result with a hundred guns, in the heart of the city.
