NEW York, April IL.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe letter re-
ports daring attempt to destroy, on Satur-
day morning, the frigate Minnesota. An
apparently floating spar approached her, and
getting near was ascertained to be boat
with three men in 1t. The lookout warned
them of, but they pushed boldly for the frig-
ate. In few moments on explosion occur.
red similar to that of twenty cannon. Tho
vessel shook as il with paralysis, and tho
crew tumbled out Of their berths. When the
confusion subsidized. orders were given to pur
sue the daring rebels, but tho Admirable dis.
patch tug Poppy, lying. alongside, had not
steam up. The other tugs on picket were
too far out to DO Of any use, and the marau-
ders rapidly disappeared in ono Of the creeks
Astounding in the James river.
The damage to the frigate was very triaing
and has been repaired.
The commander Of the tug has been put
under arrest for not keeping steam up.

An Exhibit in tho House.

There are two elements which make up the
Democratic party OF to-day; one is the arr
and 'arrp men who would like to DO loyal, II
by so doing they can bring their party again
into power, but il the success OF their party
can DO obtained only by the success of the
rebels, then tho Government may or may
not vindicatc itself, il il can; tho other in.
gredicnt is tho coppcrhcad clement which is
largely predominant. OF course, VIC do not
count upon those who call themselves "war
democrats" as they have been ostracized by
those who now control the masses who call
themselves Democrats. As specimen OF
the light in which they are considered by
their former associates, we subjoin the fol-
lowing from the New York News, the lead
ing organ Of tho party in that city:
Fortunately. the Peace party is spared the
trouble of shaking of that doublo.dealing
faction which has clogged its progress. The
War Democracy of its own accord has fore
sworn our company. IL has passed within
the unhallowed circle Of Abolitlonism. and
there assuredly the Peace Democracy will
not follow. IL IS no,p impossible for Peace
men, without the sacrifice of their own con-
sistency and principle. 70 resume The oom.
panionship thus Cancelled. Henoeforlrard
he Peace man and The Var Democrat are
t,cain. There IS no tie bef,reen them, there is
no identity Of purpose 6et'oeen them, there is
no similarity Of doctrine, and there mna be
no conformity of action. Let S enfer The
Presidential campaign upon the plain, an
e9uirocal Peace issue, and the masses OF the
North will rally to the cry and sweep the
field against treachcry, grecnbacks, bayonets
and all other engines that will DO arrayed
against them. r' rHi sf
Unhappily for the good of the country,
and for the reputation OF once honorrd
party name, the News speaks truly; and in
looking upon the organization which is thus
represented, VIC can regard it only as com.
posed OF the two classes above mentioned.
II the reader falls to detcc. any difference 10
tho principles Of tho two elements, ho may
console himself while thinking tina. Others
are equally in the dark. Aud yet, these two
portions although always voting Tor the Same
men and measures have hitherto attempted
10 explain their positions in somewhat differ
ant ways Tho skim-nilk portion declare,
