DuPPEL-This place, before which some
desperate fighting was going on at last ac-
counts, is . fortress, which the Danes have
surrounded with series of ingenious and
novel defences. The first obstruction its
assailaats will meet is an irregular line of
masked bitches, with sharp stakes firmly
fixed at the bottom to impale the unlucky
man who may fall through next come .
line of chepaaz de .tiise; then another of
large man traps; and finally a common wire
fence-the latter simple but very effective
impeachment to both infantry and cavalry.
Not content with these lines Of circumval-
lation, the Danish engineers have crowned
both scarp and counterscarp of the earth
works with palisades crested with brist
ling line of sharp swords, an expedient ap.
parently borrowed from the French defeuces
of the breach at Badajos. Both within and
without the works are fixed planks stud
ded with long nails, he points upwards,
and concealed by light covering of earth
We must add to these amenities the mines
that uaderlie all the sssailable parts.

Amending the Constitution.

Mr.. CRAvENs, of Ind, offered the follow
ing resolutions in the House last Monday,
and moved the "previous question" upon
them.
The motion for the "previous question"
was decided in the negative, by AZ against
q.
Debate arising, the resolutions went over.
The resolutions Of Mr.. CRAvENs are a.
follows:
Resolved, That in the present condition
of the country, when the passions OF the
people are infamed and their prejudices are
excited, it is unwise and dangerous to At.
tempt to alter or amend the Constitution
of the United States that ample power
is contained within its limits, as it now e1.
lists, TO protect and defend the national life,
and that the exercise of power not warrant
ed by its provisions would be- to enter the
field of revolution and dangerous to the
liberties Of the people, tending to the es-
tablishment of a military despotism and
the final overthrow of free government in
America.
Resolved, That any attempt by Congress
to reduce States to the condition of Terri
tories is as odous and as revolutionary 10
its character and tendency IS secession it
self
Resolved, That it is the duty of the gov
eminent to listen t. aud consider any pro
position for reconciliation that may be of.
iered by the insurgents which does rot In

Resolved, That the thanks of the nation
are hereby rendered to the officers and sol
ders and seamen who have SO gallautly
born our flag in this hour Of peril to our
country.

The Ohio River Improvement.

HE O01O River xmPIOvCAAcASs
It 10 estimated that ten millions will be
required to improve the navigation of the
Ohio river by locks and dams, and that
the tolls necessary to pay dividend on the
investment will not exceed on ordinary
merchandise one mill per ton per mile,
while the rates on coal boats, rats,
&c., will be merely nominal. The toll
would thus be only about one cent and
half on barrel of -four from LOUISVILLE to
Cincinnati, and two and half cents on q
key of nsils from Pittsburgh to Louisville.
The boats would make more money than
they now do, Is they. could run oil the year,
and always carry full trade. 49,.
The following is copy of memorial to
Congress adopted at the last meeting OF the
Louisville Board Of Trade: .,....a
To the Congress oftb United States:
The Louisville Board of trade would re-
specially represent that the interests Of
the Ohio valley require that the navigation
Of the Ohio river should be improved, il
possible, 90 that it may be navigable du-
ring the entire season; and it is respectfully
submitted that 1t 10 the duty of the general
Government to do this a. q national work
by . direct appropriation, or by chartsring
q accompany, to do it, allowing reimburs-
ment for the outlay BY tolls upon the com
merce of the river, and, perhaps, by tolls
upon bridges, and for rent of water power
that may be developed by said improve
ment.
And We would further represent that, in
order to guard against any injury to the
navigation, in place of benefit, any plans
that may be adopted for the work thould
require the sanction OF the Legislature Of
the six States most directly interested in
the improvement.
The above is to be signed by the Presi.
dent and Secretary. and copies transmitted
to our representative ia Congress for pres'
entation.

THE scene in the House to-day was one
of the most remarkable which has occurred
during this session or probably fol; the tAsf
thfea years. The excitement oniSatu1ay
over the declaration Of Mr.. Harris in favor
of the recognition of the Southern Conied,'
-sracywssfenewed to day, ipthe consider,
alton Sof the melton to expef Mr. Long, OF
Ohio forsimilar ntterances in bis speech
on Friday last. By II o'clock most dense
masses crowded to overlooking the spacious
galleries and corridors outside, and even
every nDok and corner on the floor OF the
House, while ladies thronged the reporters
gallery to such an extent that correspond
ents we're crowded from the seats, The
speaking commenced at 2 o'clock; Mr.. Bliss
Of Ohio speaking first, opposing the resolu-
ton for expulsion, but disclaiming any SYM
pathy with Mr.. Longs remarks. Thad.
Stevens then explained his position as 70
the status Of the Southern Confederacy &C
cording to the laws of nations, claiming
that it did not admit of any construction OF
being an independent nation. Fernando
Wood succeeded in an hours speech, and
was followed by Mr.. Schenck. for some
time. in remarks full of invective against
Wood. Mr.. Voorhees, replied to Schenck,
making point against him, by reading his
peace resolutions offered while in Congress;
during the Mexican war, which called for
the withdrawal of our troops east OF the
Rio Grande. Much excitement was manls
ifested during these proceedings, which
lasted nearly four hours when recess was
taken until seven o'clock in the evening.
At that hour the same dense crowds which
thronged the House during the day had
already filed the galleries. Mr.. Orth, OF
Indiana, opened the ball in speech OF
considerable political complexion for his
state, and was followed by Mr.. Herman, Of
New. York, in q strong, earnest war speech
opposing Woods peace propositions, but
declaring that he was 80 much in favor OF
liberty of speech that it would prevent him
from voting for Longs expulsion.
THE SCENE AT NIGHT.
The House remained in session till after
ten O'Clock, speeches continuing until the
hour of adjournment, but no vote was taken
1t is thought now that none will be taken
till Thursday, as the House will not be in
session on Wednesday, Enough votes were
added to day by members absent Saturday,
in favor of the resolution declaring Mr.. Har
ris unworthy of his seat, to increase the
number about one hundred votes. The i'm
mense crowds attendant upon the debates
to-day remained until the adjournment
