Mr.. Sumner still desiring 70 reply to Mr.

The consideration Of The Internal Revenue
bill was then resumed.
HoUsx.-Mr Washburne, of III from the
Committee on Commerce, asked leave to intro
duce a bill appropriatng S250,Oo0 for the pres
ervation and repair of public works on the
Lakes, and SiG00tp for similar works on the
seaboard.
MT. Stevens objected to the introduction of
the bill unless it should be referred TO the Com
mittee of the Whole on the State OF the Union
for consideration.
Mr., washburne gave notice that next Mon
day he would ask q suspension OF the rules fer
the purpose of introducing the resolution.
The House resumed the consideration OF the
reciprocity question.
Mr. Baxter, of Vermont, Davis, OF Maryland
and Merrill, of Vermont opposed the abroga-
ton OF reciprocity treaty with the BRUSH
North American Provinces.
Messrs Sweat, of Maine. and LitueJonn, OF
New York opposed abrogation, bat IA vored the
appontmeut Of commissioners on botn sides,
in order to form a more perfect reciprocity.
The House proceeded to vote on the pending
propositions, and rejected two OF them, In
Guiding one merely to give the notice for the
ahrogation of the treaty without conditions.
The vote was yeas "a, nays So.
MIR. Stevens moved to lay the original joint

THE SITUATION.

The opinion we expressed yesterday that
Lee had not abandoned the line of the South
Anna River, is confirmed by the latest anthem
tie news from the front, VI hich is to the effect
that he vet holds position between the North
and South Anna.
Grant will push him from this position as
surely as he has dislodged him from the vari-
Gus other strong positions he has taken to op-
pose our progress. But it may require little
time and some heavy fighting ere Lee has been
displaced from his present position.
The South Anna river crosses the railroad
five miles south of Sextors Junction, (some.
times termed Hanover Junction,) and Lee, in
retreating beyond the Junction, abandons his
direct railroad connection with dordonsville,
though still holding the circuitous connection
via Lynchburg. We think that the great secret
OF his obstinate contest for the fields Of Spott-
sylvania has been his reluctance to yield this
direct communication with Lynchburg via
Charlottesville and Gordonsville, by which
route, and not from Richmond, have his main
supplies come.
If he now yields that line Of connection, and
the defensible line Of the South Anna and Pa
munkey without fight it will be the most
significant sign of his weakness yet exhibited.
1t is not impossible, however, that Grant
may choose to leave Lee high and dry in his
cherished strong position, and keeping up
his thanking movement to Lees right, force
him to take up his unwilling line Of march
again towards Richmond. In this case
Grant could readily establish a base OF sup
plies on the York or Pamunkey River, with
short and secure line of communication.

REBEL ATTACK ON OUR GUNBOATS
IN THE RAPPAHANNOCk.
THE REBELS REPULsED.

Yesterday afternoon while the gunboat
heavy firing was heard from the direction
OF Port Royal, and 1t was supposed that
our gunboats had been fired on from some
field pieces which the rebels were reported to
have sent down to Brandywine Hill (about
five miles below Port Roya) and Heere return
ing the fire.
The firing continued some time, but as our
gunboats were prepared for any such emer-
gency it is probable fhat the rebels were driven
off.
1t had been expected that the rebels would
attempt to modest us from the point named.

To Major General <>sr, <Sew FORK:
The latest news from General Grants head
quarters, received at this department, is dated
at Mount Carmel Church, p. m. yesterday
The despatch says everything is going on well.
Warren has four hundred prisoners, Hancock
some three hundred, and Wright has picked up
some. The whole number resulting from yes
terday's operations will not fall short Of q
thousand. Warren's loss is not over three
hundred killed and wounded. The prisoners
captured are in great part North Carolinians,
who are much discouraged, and say Lee has
Ceceived them.
The pursuit is delayed by the fatigue of the
fnen, still Hancock and Warren will reach
South Anna at 4. ,shtiall.

Stating he had force enough to take the place,
and demanded its surrender, and said in that

ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED
PRRDERICKsBTRG EVACUATED BY THIS
TIME,

The steamer State of Maine arrived this
morning with about 400 hundred wounded,
from Port Royal, where they were trans
1erred to her from the George Weems, which
brought them down from Fredericksburg.
Yesterday there were but 1900 wounded re-
NAMING at Fredericksburg, and these, it was
thought, could be removed last night.
All the stores, &c, at that point were being
rapidly brought OF and it is probable that
to-day that place is completely emptied.
: At Port Royal a pontoon bridge was being
thrown across yesterday afternoon.
The State of Maine saw no guerrillas or OBJ.
struct.ons in the river, the gunboats being very
vigilant in patroling the river.
