LongwoFth died at his residence 10 Cincinnati
on Tuesday evening, at the age of eighty years
He has left widow seventy years Of age
and three children.
Mr.. Longworth was born 10 Newark, N. j.,
jim. l6, 1888. He came 10 Cincinnati when
twenty one years OF age, and has made that
city his residence ever since. Ha studied law,
was admitted TO the bar, aud pr!etlced the pro-
fesslon for some fifteen years, when be abandon
ed IL and engaged in real estate operations This
property he purchased ia early days was held al
low price; many of the lots he bought at ten
dollars each, and even for lees. He was aregu'
lar lot and land dealer, selling and buying
his profits always justiiying further invest
ments,
Mr.. Longworth was widely known for his i'm
mense wealth--there being, IL is said, but one
Individual In the United States possessed O.
more wealth-Wm. B. Astor. of New York
Mr.. Longworth's taxes for 1862 in Hamilton
county, Ohio, amounted to over fifty Thousand
dollars. His property is variously estimated 81
from twelve to fifteen million dollars, princi
pally in real estate.' '

appointed when the new forces were raised
he did not believe that 30 many were needed,
and he thought that some limit had better be
placed on the number, or else nominations Of
new Generals would be sent to the Senate every
day. ~
Mr.. Grimes said there was more objection to
the quality Of the Generals than to the quaint.
ty. Many of our Generals ought to be removed
and better men put In their places. .
At the expiration Of the morning hour, the
chair called up the special order-the bill to aid
the State of Missouri In emancipation; but the
unfinished business of yesterday-the currency
billIbeing, however, first In order, was taken
up. An amendment offered by Mr.. Harris was
adopted, providing II any bank or banking as
socatiOn shall be holder Of United States
bonds to the amount of so per cent. of Its capital
stock, 1t may transfer and deliver to the United
States Treasury such bonds, or part thereof, in
the manner provided by this act, and will be en-.
titled to receive circulating notes equal to 80
per cent. of the bonds so transferred and de-
livered.
HoUsE,-Mf. Washburn gave notice Of bis
intention to introduce q bill to repeal all laws
levying duties on railroad iron and coal.
Mr.. Cox, from the committee on Foreign
Affairs, made q report on Mr.. Fessenden's res
olution as to whether General Heran should
not be dismissed as minister from Columbia.
Mr.. Cox caused a note to be read from Secre-
tary Seward, saying that the President was
entrusted with the function of receiving foreign
ministers, and this was confded to him by the
Constitution.
Mr.. Cox remarked that the Legislative Depart
ment had nothing to do With the subject Of re-.
ceiving foreign ministers. He had no doubt
that the Government was taking the necessary
steps to recognize the government Of Mosquera,
as all the functions of the State, the ports cap
ital, ETC., were now in the latter's hands, and
he was President de facto and de juye.
Mr.. Fessenden expressed bis dssatisfa ction
with the report. His object was accomplished.
He was glad to hear that measures we're being
taken to reorganize that Government.
The committee was discharged from the fur
ther consideration Of the subject.
Mr.. Ashley, frou the committee on Terrific.
ries, reported bill authorizing the Territories
of Nevada and Colorado severally to form Con.
stitutions preliminary to their admission into
tho Union as States.
| The Louisiana election case was postponed
until Monday.
The House then went into committee of the

LAST NroHr OF THE SEVEN SISTERS. This

be presented at the Atheneum for the last time.
No play or dramatic exhibition Of any kind
ever had such run in Columbus for 80 many
suoeeasivs nights. IL has drawn crowded
houses on evenings as unpleasant as We ever
have In this latitude. The character Of the
audiences, too, has been such as might well ex-
cite the pride and stimulate the ambition Of

The manager, the company and all who have

WASHINGTON, Feb l1.-Admiral Porter, In
terms of commendation, communicates to the
Navy Department. the report of Col. Elles,
commanding the ram Queen Of the West, Civ.
ing an account of her passage of the batteries
OF Vicksburg. The following is the report:
u. s. STEAM Ram QUEEN OF THE WEsTl
BELOW VIcKsBURG, Feb. g
ADMIRAL In compliance with your instruo.
tions i started on the Queen of the West at
half past four this morning, TO paes the bate
ries at Vicksburg and sink the rebel steamer
lying before that city. l discovered immedi-
atsly on starting that the change of the wheel
from Its former position to the narrow space
behind the Queens bulwarks, did not permit
the boat to be handled with sufficient accuracy.
An hour or more was spent in re-arranging
the apparatus, and when we finally rounded the
point the sun had risen, and any advantage
which would have resulted from the darkness
was lost to US.
The rebels opened heavy fire on us as We
neared the city, but we were only struck three
times before reaching the steamer. She was
lying in nearly the same position shat the Ar
kansas occupied when General Ellet ran the
Queen into her on q former occasion.
The same causes which prevented the destruc.
tion of the Arkansas then, saved the City OF
Vcksburg this morning. Her position was
such that if we had run obliquely into her as
we came down, the bow of the Queen would
have inevitably glanced. We were compelled
to partially round in order to strike. The con-
sequence was that at the very moment of COL
lision the current, very rapid and strong at this
point, caught the stern of my boat, and acting
on her bow as q pivot, swung her around 80
rapidly that nearly oil her momentum was
lost, I had anticipated this, and therefore
caused the starboard gun to be shotted with
three of the incendiary projectiles recommend.
ed In your order. As We swung round, Ser.
geant ]. II. Campbell, detailed for the purpose,
fred this gun. A sixty-four pound shell crush-
ed through the barricade just before he reached
the spot, but he did not hesitate. The Discharge
took place at the right moment, and set the
rebel steamer in flames, which they subsequent
ly succeeded In eXtinguishing.
At this moment one Of the enemy's shells Del
the cotton near the HtaFboard wheel on fts, while
the discharge of our own gun ignited that por-
tlon on the bow. The flames spread rapid
iy, and the dense smoke rolling into the engin,
room suffocated the engineers. saw that If
attempted torun into the City oil Vicksburg agail
my boat would certainly be burnt. ordered
her TO be headed down stream, and ordered
every man to extinguish the flames.
