In contrast with this spectacle we give
the names of the seven noble men who sus-
tanned their honor and the dignity of their
manhood by voting in favor of the BILL
Although in minority they have accom-
plished something. They have compelled
the copperheads 10 show their hands on a di-
rect vote, that the people may know who
are the enemies and who the friends of
the soldier, and the cause for which the
soldier is fighting. The seven true men
who voted with and for their country and
its brave defenders are as follows:
SOLOMON NJ. CURTIS,
JOHN A. DUNCAN,
DAVID W. GEMMILL,
JOHN HAYES,
LEVI w. LATTOMUS,
MERIT II. PAXSON,
JOHN WHITLEY.
But this is not all. After the defeat of
the relief bill, Mr.. Gemmll offered a series
Of resolutions, as follows
RESOLVED, That We the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the State Of Delaware in
General Assembly met, do urge upon the General
Government most vigorous prosecution of the
war to crush out this most causeless and unnat-
nral rebellion, now existing in some of the States
forming the Federal Union.
=. hesotVedi That our thanks are especially
due TO the brave officers aud men FROM the State
of Delaware, who have periled their lives and
suffered so much of hardship in defence of the 60
vernment against the traitors who are trying TO
overthrow and destroy it,.
8. Resolved, That we do most sincerely con-
dole with the families Of those who have fallen in
defence OF the Government, and that we extend
our sympathy 10 those brave DelaWareans who
have been wounded in battle
A. Resolved That copy OF the foregoing
duly a;tested by the Speakers Of both Houses be
sent to cur Senators aud Representative III Con
gress.
These, too, were voted down By the same
men who killed the relief bill. Thus a.,

The Era publishes the following extract from
private letter. dated eff Mobile Bar Jan. 9th:
The monotony of our blockade life was broken
this morning by the discovery of a steamer
ashore under the guns of Fort Morgan, All the
vessels Of the fleet got under way; and, while
some repaired to the flagship for instructions,
the OctOrara steamed in aud opened fire on the
rebel craft, which speedily drew a reply from the
fort. The rest of the fleet soon steamed n and
took up their positions, when the fire became
quite spirited. The rebel steamer was struck
several times aud abandoned but she lay SO
near the tort that it was impossible tie get her
out Finding our efforts to set her on fire we're
frutless, the feet withdrew. after firing two
hours The rebels used n fine Whitworth gun,
with which they made some fair shots, fortunate
ly doing no injury.
During the action man was lost overheard
from the Itasca and drowned BY becoming en-
tangled in the lead line, at which he was sta.
toned. Yesterday the Octorara went in under a
flag of truce, carrying English officer to com.
municate with his country's consul. We were
allowed to approach to within quarter of mile
OF the fort, nearer than ever they allowed as Ia
approach before. We found many changes had
taken place since last we took a near view Of the
place, more than a year ago. The walls are now
concealed, and protected by heavy embank.
ment Of sand, against which shot and shell vainy
pound.
