Additional bai news has been received from the crevasses, Heavy rains continue and the whole country is flooded. It is feared the whole country down to the Bayou Plique- mine will be sibmerged, as Bayou Plaque- mine cannot cary off the ficod: and it will ex- tend down toLa Fonrche, comprising the richest sugar and cotton lands in Louisiana.

CONGRESSIONAL. Ix THE SENATE— Yesterday afternoon— Mr. Lane, of Kansas, in advocating the reso- lution imtroduced by him for the admission of the States lately in rebellion, said, “This I do know, thatthe Republican party, of which I am a member, is crumbling to pieces, and that every Gay we postpone the admission of these States insures the destruction of that party; aud 1 know that the adoption of such resolu- tions would bring the Republican party and the President together in harmony; tt did seem that some members of this body were disposed to harmonize with the President. I propose to 0 very far to secure that harmony. Yesterday ‘we were met by one of the most vindictive as- saults that has ever been made upon any of- fi..al, from friend or opponent, by the Senacor trom Ohio, (Mr. Wade,} charging the Presi- dent, a personal friend whol have learned to Tespect aud admire for his pluck and his ability, and to love for his manly virtue—a man whom I believe 1 nominated for the second office within the gift of the people: whose election I did my utmost to secure against the efforts of the Senator from Ohio; and I will defend him nOW Against asimilar assault made by the same Senator yesterday as I detended the late Pres- ident from assault by the same Senator. A despot and a traitor! In what! in seeking to reconstruct the Union in spite of the Congress of the United States! When Mr. Johnson took hts seat, Mr. Lincoin had marked out a policy. He adopted it, and the peopte of the Union, the party to which he and 1] belonged. have en- dorsed it by triumphant majorities. I purpose to sustain the President to-d: id kereatter against all assaults of the character to which I have alluded.” Mr. Wade, in his reply, said:—« Now for my attack on the President of the United Sta As 2a Senator on this floor, I care no more fo: his opmion than I do for that of any Senator here. Who is your President that we must atl bow to him! He is no stranger to us. We know his iength. and breadth, and depth, and he isto be eet up here as a.paragon, and we are to wear his collar! Is that what the Sen- ator means? I don’t think his constituents in Kansas would approve of that. Did I make an attack on the President yesterday ! 1 stand by it to-day. What did the President sxy to secession rabble who gathered around him 2d of February, and why did he burl anathemas on the ma. y of Congress!

Mr. Wade.—Does the Senator say that was any excuse for his attack or no? .

The gallant fight made by the Senator from Ohio here would have been of no account if it had not been for the fight made under my lead for the piains of Kansas. Indicted by a pro-slavery jury for treason, and $100,000 offered for my head, Jim Lane wear a collar, sir! The charge, where- ever it is made, will be denounced as false by both friend and foe.
