builder of the ferry has hecn at fault for he must

to the weight thrown against it.

My DEAR SIR-Your very welcome
letter Of Goth February, came to head
quarters during my absence at Fort
Smith, hence / have not answered earlier.
thank you for communicating to me
the fact of my nomination for Lieutenant
Governor by the Union Convention of my
beloved State. While am very grateful
for the compliment the Convention paid
me, and for the approval and confidence
which the nomination expresses, cannot
accept it. My efforts to prove myself
worry of the favor Of my countrymen vii
be renewed and redoubled. The highest
reward ask is their love and appreciation.
But l would not quit the service for any
office at home, for l am sure, whilst this
war against treason continues, can
render my country better service in the
field as q soldier, than at home in any
position of honor and ease. With my
brothers in arms i expect to remain until
the war is over, and then, if spared, min
gle my voice with theirs, in shouts Of
victory and praise to God for our triumph
over treason. and the salvation OF this
God given Government of ours. Soyou
can say to oil.
The election is over, and Arkansas
once more glitters brightly among the
stars that gid the nations cornet. The
last to leave the Union for slavery, she is
the first to return to it free. Soon her
Senator'S and Representatives will be
heard in the halls of our National Legis-
lature, pleading for the right and battling
against the enemies of good government.
The Governor and other State officers,
the Legislature, members Of Congress
and county officers are elected in legal
form. Over eight thousand votes were
polled, and thousands more would have
been cast if the slow prcess of voting by
riva poce had not prevented.
Compliments to Governor Morton, and
tell him that l hope he will conduct the
Executive Department as successfully
during the next four years as he has the
past l bid the Union movement in
Indiana God speed. Regards to Col
Schlater and all friends, and believe me,
Truly, yonr friend,

Congressional Debate-ExpelIing Traitors
WASHINGToN Anril II

WASHINGTON, April IL.
The great excitement of the day is of
course the debate on the resolution to
expel Alexander Long. Energetic re-
monstrances of leading members sue
ceeded in getting the official publication
of Longs speech, and so the question
was taken up at the hour agreed upon.
The galleries were packed with the
densest audience assembled there since
Miss Anna Dickenson's address, and
hundreds went away unable to gain
admittance. At quarter past five the
House took a recess till seven, and the
probability seems to be that we will have
a session all night. OF the debate l will
speak more at length in dispatches late
in the night. 1t is enough to say now
that Gen Schenck made the great speech
of the day, and indeed one Of the greatest
speeches ever uttered in the Hall. New
Workers say it is the first time Fernando
Wood was ever blanched. The excoria-
ton he received was terrible, and when
Schenck gibbeted him at the bar Of
public opinion and held him up for the
scorn and loathing, of this and all sue
ceeding ages, nothing but repeated
threats to clear the galleries kept them
from rending the roof with their cheers.
Winter Davis is expected to speak to-
night. Long has said nothing to day.
The Democrats are not near SO defiant
as yesterday. Even Fernando Wood
crawfishes, and is not so ready to indorse
Long as he was yesterday.

SECOND DISPATCH.

There has just been an exciting scene
in the evening session of the House.
Mr. Orth, from the Lafayette, Indiana,
district, was making fine speech, re-
viewing the disloyal record of Voorhees,,
who had been defending Long. After q
time Orth had occasion to refer to Harris,
Of Maryland, whom the House severly
censured on Saturday, and pronounced
unworthey of seat. Orth called him
traitor, Harris instantly sprang to his
feet and called him a liar, scoundrel
and coward if he did not resent it. The
Democrats, meantime, in the midst Of
much confusion, raised point of order,
that Orth had no right to call a member
of the House a traitor. The Speaker,
pro TEN, however, decided that in view
of the vote of the majority of House,
last Saturday, to expel him for treasond-
bic sentiments, he had a right call him a
traitor. Orth then resumed, and re-
ferring to Harris language said, that the
impertient slobberings from q man
branded traitor by this House could
not receive from him the slightest notice.
He would pass them by in silent con-
tempt. He then went on to review
Vooohees. Among other things. he said
that Voorhees, was popular in his dis
trict He knew of but one man who
could probably run better in the Terre
Hautc district, and that man was JEFF.
Davis himself. He favored Longs ex-
pulsion, because what he said was
reasonable, and because he thought the
sentiment Of the House needed purging.
His speech took the House by surprise
and was great success.
The galleries at this writing { s o clock)
are densley packed, and q number of
ladies, the families of members. have
been admitted to the floor of the House.
Herman of New Y ork is now speaking,
and trying to defend Long and yet keep
himself on the warDemocratic. platform.
THIRD DISPATCH
A. this writing. 10 o clock, the House is
in full tide of debate on Longs ex-
pulsion Winter Davis made great
speech. saying Longs proposition
amounted to this: There could be but
two examinations to this contest; the one
the expulsion of the enemy, the other
the e1temination of the nation and of
the two he, Long. )preferred the latter.
Frinck, Of Ohio, defended Long.
Broomall, of Pa, is to follow against
him. Washburne is understood to be
working against Colfax's resolution,
and it is understood five or six Unionists
agree with him. The expulsion will not
pass, but there is no reason as yet TO
doubt that it will carry majority of the
House. There is no probability Of avote
TO night Washburne has already tried
once or twice to get an adjournment
The last intimation is that Long will
not be expelled but censured.
