WASHINGTON, April ll.-Colfax's resolu'
ton for the expulsion Of Representative
Long, of Ohio, will be debated in the House
to-day. He said he would rather recognize
the Confederacy than continue war for sub
jugation. During the debate on the 9th on
his expulsion, Harris declared that he was
not only in favor Of recognizing the Confed-
eracy but of acquiescing in secession.
Washburn offered resolution for his ex-
pulSion, which was lost; but resolution de-
claring him unworthy to fill a seat in Con-
greSs and is hereby censured, was passed by
a vote Of SO to Is. All Democrats voted
against his expulsion.
1t will be impossible to get the requisite
two-thirds vote to eXpel Long.
The House resolution respecting Mexico
has been referred to the Committee on For
eign Affairs. The Commute will take no
action until Secretary Stewards views are
known. He has all along been opposed to
any action By Congress on the subject. The
unanimity with which the resolution has
passed the House has caused good deal OF
uneasness in the State Department.
Suffers have been ordered to leave the
Army OF the Potomac before the end of the
week.
New YORK, April IL. A Baltimore
special saws three cavalry companies were
sent to Winchester on Friday morning, Ma
jor Hunter commanding the expedition, sent
a accommodating party who discovered con-
siderable force OF rebels under the guerrilla
Gilmore occupying the town. They made a
dash through the streets and completely sur
prised the rebels, who scampered away.
While our forces were in the town large
force of the enemy made dash upon them,
and they in turn were compelled to fall back.
The main force Of the rebels then followed
and captured some twenty OF our men before
they reached support. Our main force COM
ing up the rebels turned and fed. Our forces
pursued them beyond Winchester when night
overlook them. The rebels escaped over &C.
dar Creek, which was too much swollen from
recent heavy rains to allow our forces to go
further in pursuit. None Of the enemy
dead were found along the road. None OF
our men were killed. The rebel force num-
bered about go. A scout sent out last night
went to Newton, and returned via Winches-
ter, and reports that he saw no enemy.
