V For the Journal. I have just recti tie speech of Vico President Stephens tJcrc the Urorgia legislature, delivered on the ICth of March.

In the House of Representatives at Washington, on the 9th mat., the Speaker (Mr. Oolfax) called Mr. Kol line, of New Hampshire, to the chair, and, rising to a question of privilege, crlered a resolution to expel Hon. Alexander Long, of Ohio, on the grcund that he bad declared himself " in favor of recognizing the indepen dence of the so cfilled Confederacy, now in arms against tne unioa. Mr. Colfax submitted a few remarks in euoDort of the resolution, and was fallowed by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, in a speech or some lengtn : Mr. Cox, in his opening remarks, said he was not in the House when bis colleague mado bjs sperch, but be was icformed by members around him that they would bear the interpretation put upon them. Had he b;en in hi3 seat yesterday, with ail doe rer ;ct to his col Ieaue, he should have disavowed, in behalf of the Ohio delegation, any reraaiks looking to the ncngni'ioa of therrebelliou cs crystah'zed at Richmond, lie did not koo.v a uicgle member of that dekgitie . , excepting fcr colleasue (Mr. Long) who was wilting it iec3gmz2he Confederate Govirnmer t. He spoke of this because of the attempt to make partisan capital. He bditv d that his colleague at the time speke ooly his own i ctiments , end not the 2 of his party. F n'y the e was a Dem t -ratic Convention in Ohio, lepresiting one hundred and forty-five thousand voters, and in that Cervention no sentiment like that cf his colleague was utle-rrd. T ha Democratic people in ihatt ite ralli 1 end ? it meir irienas ana oromeis to tne war. altht n 'h t 7 did not agree to the African policy. During tie debate which followed, Mr. Miller, of Pa , protested against the lecture on ratr:otis:n from his colleague (Mr. Kelly), who stands rn the record as havirg ut're.l a delibeiate falsehood. lie ws not !ht man to talk ab ;ut perjury rnd fidelity to the Uuin. Mr. J. C. Allen, cl Illinois, knew no parallel ca32 to this, of moviccr f- "xpel a member for word otteied id debate. He hal imagined 'iat UGd.r the Cccstitmion the Rjpresentatives on ibis floor had the right to ex press their opinions freely, lie dit-sented .Vora the opinion that we should recogniza the Southern Con federacy ; b it if that was the gentleman's ho-j'it con vietion, he had the rieht to express it. If the irenlfe- man frcm Ohio had t -n iriving aid and comfort to the enemy, others in high places had been doin the same thicjj. The President had not onfv violated the suirit but the letter of the Constitution by his repeated acts cf usurpation. Much a3 he l.attd the itbc-hion, he loved the Constitution, because it was dcsiiined to.protCct all mer iq their liberties. ' " Mr. Harris, of Maryland; said he endo'sed every uoid that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Long) had uttered, and would stend by them for weal or woe. You say the gentleman meant treason at the very mo ment you say he was sincere and hoiiesf. lie was wil ling to go with bis friend anywhere on that Lrsue. Could not a man say, when a war is carried on to ex terminate a people, that he would rather have peace thu3 saving lives on both sides, and the money of a ground down people, and especially when the sentiments came from distinguished men to ba ;k him. Not one of you can be compared with the men the gentleman quoted yesterday. He was a peace man u radical prace man. He wbs for recognising the Southern Confederacy, and fcr acquiescing in the doctrine of se cession. He had a hope, but it was not in this House. A tornado would come and sweep you from power, and give it to honest men who have humanity and seme re gard for the principles of their fathers. War weuhi never bringr yu a Union worth a cent. He was for peace and Union too. Laughter. He was a better man than any cf them. Renewed laughter If we cannot make peace let us nave two splendid Govern ments two happy Governments. He wci a slaveholder, and was still, if ail his slaves had not been stolen from him. He looked cn those who opposed slavery a3 madmen. He compassionated them. If it was a Ein be was willing to bear it. The North had been deceived by stereotyped falsehood. When this war commenced Secretary Seward said it could be put down in sixty days. Instead of seventy-five thous and men ending it you have now calkd for a million of soldiers. A braver tet cf men never existed on God's earth than exists in the South : and when you attempt to elevate the negro with the white man, you stir up strife. The Furitans saw nothing in the Bible agaftst slavery, and when they found slavery unprofitable, they sold their slaves to the South. Having taken their gold, their descendants now turn round and attempt to dispossess the South of the property. He had voted against men acd money to carry on the war ; he would not consent thit our money should be spent by a ty rant. Not a man or a dollar would he .vote for th s infernal war. It was the most stupendous folly that ever disgraced any people on the face cf God's earth. If this be treason make themcst of it. It was the right of a Commoner to say he would not entrust the means of carrying on the war to ; a Jvmg. Who is the war power ? The South ask you to leave them in peace ; but no, ycu say you will bring.them into subjection. That is not done yet, and God Jlmighjy granQhat it neve: may 'e. I hope you will never subj ugate the South. TJie President has proved himself unfit to be trusted with the moneyed power. Mr. Tracy, of Pennsylvania, rose to ask a question, but was loudly called to order by members on the op position side. He tlesired to know whether, within these halls the gentleman could invoke Almighty God that the Ametican arms shall not prevail. Mr. Harris Is that a point of order ? Mr. Tracy egain essayed to speak, and was call;! to order from tne opposition side. Mach confusion pre vailed. Mr. Tracy, elevating Lis voice above the din, asked whether it was in order lor treason to be uttered within these halls. Rmewed cries of "Order" and "Sit down."l Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, rose to a point of order, and desired that the language of the gentleman from Maryland be taken deva at the Clerk's desk, in accord ance with the rule. The objectionable wbtenec, as taken down and read, is as follows : "The iiouth ak jcu to leave them in peace ; but no, ycu say you will bring them into sub jection. That is not done" yet. and Gcd Almighty grant that it may never be. I hope you will never subjugate tne ooutn." Mr. Harris, of Maryland, exclaimed: Is that all? Mr. Pendleton raised a question of order, wheu The Speaker pro tern, pronounced Mr. Harris out of order lor using that language Mr. Washburne For one, I protest agamst any man uttering such language in this hall. Mr. Harris You mean you are afraid of it. (Cries of "order" from the Republican side.) Mr. Washburne object d to the gentleman from Maryland proceeding with his remarks. Mr. Harrs resumed bis s:-at, unanimous coneeut be ing requisite for him to continue his ejt ;ech. Mr. Fernando Wood said he would rer to the House the exact language of the gentleman Irom Ohio (Mr. Long,) which had not b.m properly stated. Mr. Wrshburne Were you present yesterday ? Mr. Wood replied he was not, but he held in his hand the identical manuscript. He thought it wei due to the gentleman, before the House voted on it, that they should hear what the trentlemsn did say. The hngurge is a3 follows : " I now t ilieve that there are but two alternatives either an acknowledgment of the South es an inder :-ndent nation, or their complete Eub jejation and extermination as a people. Of tUiese ah t natives, I prefer the former." If, eaid Mr. Wood, he is to be expelled for the uttsr an'3 of these sentiments, you may include me fop a concurrence in them. Mr.. Colfax stated what he understood Mr. Loner to say yesterday. Mr. Long said he had the manuscript now before him from which he read. Hcs prepared his speech four weeks ago. He had not altered a word. 4Mj. Colfax did not believe, after the gentleman had so long deliberated, he had chaDged a word. In order that members should see the printed speech, wbioh will appear in the Globe cf Monday next, Mr. Colfax sug gested, and there was unanimous consent, that the con sideration of the pending resolution should be postponed until Monday, at two oclock. Mr. Washburne then oflsttd a resolution expelling Air. Harris, the vote upon which resulted yeas 81, nays 58. There not beiDg the required two third vote, the resolution was declared rejected. Mr. Schenck then offered a resolution declaring Mr. Harris, ' an unworthy inemb.r of this House, and is hereby severely censured." This resolution was adopt edyeas 92, nays 18. The ilouse soon after adjourned. A St. Louis paper tells this : A man and hia wife were engaged in arranging for separation. The diffi culty ot adjustment was the baby. The wile tearfully begged to es allowed to keep " the dear little fellow," while the hu&band tngrily and persistently refused. At length the wife almost threw the child into the hus band1 b arms and exclaimed, "take him ; I can soon get another." BE-rUBLISHKn.Br BEQTJK8T.

Now I was to find her dark eyes, which 1 had left dimmed with tears, sparkling with pride at my fame ! Bully for rae. After I bad turned the corner of Royal and Dauphin, I overheard an exclamation behind me, which made me turn my head in time to see the neatest little boot in the world, at. the end of the most bewitching open worked stocking, a3 an angry beauty shook her dress out alter clearing the efowd Of soldiers, citizens, police officers and newsboys congregated at the corner.

Fifteen minutes walk brought me near the present residence ot my fair refugee without other adventure than hearing a female voice from the back gallery of a first class mansion, in gecuine caterwauling tones : "You, Nancy Jane ! WThat's them stockings doing blown down in the dirt ? Put that baby down and come right up here this micute and fix my bair. Yon know Colonel Battonzolover will.be here directjy. und there you are nursing that nasty, st Eg little brat oh lord, thet's ati efficer !" she exclaimed, making a hasty, but not graceful exit as she met my admiring gaze. Whereupon I made the oiiowing philosophic obser vation : "When ou get married, Major Comb, don't have any back gallery to your house, and then women can't scream at. the servants. A sweet voice, f 3 has been justly observed, is an ex"2llent thing in woman and most young women have it, except when tbey epsak through their noses or scream at servants but when they do both together scream at niggers through their noses from a high back gallery, it is a combina tion awful to bear." After having delivered myself to this .effect, I gave my moustache a fascinating twist and entered the man sion where dwelt my Juliana Marina. When my eyes became accustomed to the obscurity of the parlor, I found myself drawn up in line of battle in front of a creature that I must describe. It stood in front of me in the full uniform of a major of cavalry, with the most braid on its sleevep, the big gest star on its collar, the longest boots and brightest spurs I ever did see. Its hair wes sleek, and its mous tache end gcatee were waxed to sharp points. (3a its hand3 were pink kitTgloves, and it smelt swest. i had seen such lhicg3, but not at Irge. They were either following a hand organ or ridirg a black pony in the ring cf a menagerie. While we stejed' gazing thus on each other, that my sterious lustlicg ol silk and voluptuous perfume which precedes a pretty woman, announced tne approach of the ambition of my life "Jn-u-lianna !" "My dear Curry"! " were exclamations to be followed up, when she saw that thing behind me. Pausing in her advance towards me she exclaimed to it "Why, how de do, Mtjor; lam dblightcd to see you ; do you know Major Peter Nip Ninnrgo ? Major Curry Comb, Mpjor Peier Nip Ninnego, of Gen. Htl tersplit's staff." It addressed itself to motion, and to my utter aston ishment, it did speak. "Aw, ML-3 Julia, been taking a dwedful wide with the General.

" In vain I tried to participate in the conversation ; it seemed my sun burnel face und hands were no match for the pomatum and gloves of Major Peter Nip Ninnego, of Gen. Hel tersplit's staff and I felt more like a bronze ornament on a chair than the dfhing cavalier I had thought myself. The thing was so elegantly gotten up there was but one defect, end tht was where i?s spurs would dig into its bcits. Thank God, that 13 one point which your ready-made soldier can't get over. Being unaccustom ed to wear spurs, they cut their boots at every turn. They can no more wear u spur than thty can sit on a herse. Perceiving that it caught my glance, tix-.d on its feet, I observed that "he wore a cruel spur." "Aw, yes ; but you see I take them ell w.h n l wide my mare is a wacj horse, and wuns away !

"Do you know, my dear Miss Julia," it said in a low tone, "all that I weqaire to complete my happi ness ?" "A lookicg glass, six by fonr !" said I ovei my shoulder. "It is the knowledge that you will wegwtt me while I am gone on this dwedful business." " But you will cull before you leave," she asked, and I saw in a mirror tsfore iae that she took its hand in her3 and prepsed it. . " Wcuid a Mussulman leave Mecca without visiting the tomb ot the Pwophet ?" " You be d d !" I muttered ; " but thank God, it is going cfl somewhere."

My flag proudly bears the name of eve ry bloody field from Belmont to Murfreesboro' ; but if to a man like me straigh'ening up you prefer the lemon scented cuss, why you may do very well for Iit- tie Nip Niunegu!, but you would never do for 'the mother of the heroic lit:!.; Curry Combs.!"

L it's examine it : " Mem. Cigars lor Gn. Breckinridge." " Tell him no arrivals from llavanna." Mem. Hairbrush and comb for O'Donoghue, of his staff " " Don't know anj thing he has less use for." " Mem. Dczan marbles for Major Graves." " L?t him attend worship of Sundaye, instead of playing marbles with Coleman aud Clay." "Mem. Oae dcz n good whiskey for Major W n, 3 ime staff."

' His o'd horee is ridden to death now ; as a humane i. .-.n I can't get hiai any spuis." The fact is, I found all these requisitions were for uperfluou3 articl-.s of luxury which i ought not to en courage ; and with this reflection came a brilliant idea. Twas plain I could to longer stny in Mobile, so I said to myself. . - "1 will return to camp, and tell the general that the reluctance with hieh he granted my k-ave ha3 weigh ed on my mind so that I can stay no longer from my command. 1'hat I felt, wheu I saw the idleness and dissipation of Mobile, that every patriot ought to be preparing lor the next struggle, and for that purpose I have returned.

He sajs he did not intend to burn tfichruond or kill Mr. Daviu Ha lutOTided to capture "Jeff" and Cabinet, and carry them to Washington. A a for the orders to burn the city, they were merely to intimidat 3 the rebels. How, when the rebels never read th m until be was killed ? - Private Johu Clark, a Ma'ne Yankee, haa a!so beon be fore the circla repaatedly.

He Bays there wiil ba three more great battles, most of which will enl in our iavor, and then we will be independent. Dahigren also 6.a8 we wdl be inde pendent. Iheae revelations arc ''reliable" of course. Llot long ago. a similar party was gathered together In this city, on which occasion it must be confessed that the ghosts were in &. more than ordiaarily merry mood. The first communication was to one of the individuals present, that he was a cruel wag, wheieapou thn table bounced tip and down as if it enjoyed the tolerable j ok f that was im plied. Then a more serious representative took the place of the predecessor, and revealed several Btartiin; facts connected with the war. Some of these were, tnai the struggle would ceaae in Ipril, 1865 ; that there would be bat fnr more battles on a Brand, scale, the last of which would take place in Tennessee ; that Kentucky and Mary, land would be left out of the Confederacy, aud, with this exception, we should ba eminently victorious It was aUo oracularly remarked, with connderabla em phasis, by two legs of the table, that Mr. Lincoln wonld oot ba re-elected, but that Howard would wa.k into the Presidential chair by a grand coup d'elat. The revelations of this airy vision being bo exceedingly, plausible, induced a question as to his id -ntity, whereupon he was politely invited to discover hiB name. And what think you, reader, the mysterious individual replied ? D-U-V I-L ! and with an emphasis which by no means corresponds with the size of these capitals. At this unexpected notification, the party discovered that they ere ia bd company, and further research into the region- of hia Satanic Majesty was aban doned. The strangest part of tha proceedings remains to be told. Immediately after the investigation concluded, the tabie, apparantlp of its own volitiou, commenced to rap vigor ously the word "decipher," and thero upon three several times speit out the wo d T O D-DY ! T O D D y ! T O D D Y ! (A. very sensible spirit.) Whether the sapp icaat was rea'ly "dry," or Bimply meant that it was " a lorg time between driiss," we leave our readers to jad.?e. But one thiag is evident, that if the de mand came from the individual whose name is spelt above, it ia no wonder that he was davviahly thiiaty. Columbia South Cai odnian.

The yard is large, and she was near its centre and no ways near any building from which it Could have been thrown; and, besides being a widow lady, at least of middle age, it is not probable that any cowardly, love sick swain took this opportuni ty of presenting a token of hi3 affection, to be hereaf ter acknowledged.
