6ion of Congress have proved the correct-! ness of the views expressed in my letter cf Xov. 27. The opposition to tho President, on the part of the radical and ultra members of Coagress, has taken the form of a regular organization. This organize tion 19 led by b'umner and Trumbull in ti e Senate, and by Lovej y and Tl.addius Stevens in the Hoii.m.. Th-y boast that they can command 77 votes in the llor.so j a:.da clear majority in the Senate, and do j nut hesitate to express their deeigr.s ct.en-. y. They declare they have nothing to hope for from the President, who, they j are convinced, is falsa to all his niedres and has sold himself to the slaveholders, j Lut. at the same time, they assert that j "'W " h . .wo do t thwart their designs. Ihey are , cor.fident of being able, m the course of tha next two months, to command a two j third rote in both houses on any question i that tley may bring up. As soon a3 tl ey ! resch that point, they propose to carry, over the President' veto (for they know hj will veto them), the following meas-, Urea : I 1.

At ten o'clock on the mornin of November 22, the Richmond opened a bom bard merit on Fort Mcll.ie and tho neirh boring sind batteries. Fur awhile everything went on swimmingly ; but the enemy

opening a powerful ritled battery on the ship, the conflict grew serious. The writer (a L;euteiaut on boat d tho Hiehmond) says: "I had been complimenting the Cpfain of one of utirguus for the accuracy of his aim, when a shell from Fort M.-lt ie hountied through our bulwarks and took the p...r fellow' head square off.

Up to this time Fort Pickens had lost but one man killed and eeen woundeJ.

From the Report of the Secretary ol the Navy, we glean the information that tvhen the vesvete now building, and purchased, of every class, are armed, equipped and ready for service, the condition of iho Navy will amount in total ta 214 ycssols. 2,557 guns, and 2I0.OG1 tuns. The aggregate number of 6eamen in tho service on the 4 tit of March last was 7. GOO. The number now is not less than 22.000. In relation to Captain Wilkes, the Secretary says: Th prompt and decisive action of Captain Wilkes on this occasion merited anu received me emphatic approval ot the Department, and if a generous forbearance uas exhibited by him in not c.ipluring the vessel which had these rebel en-micS on bo ard, it may. in view of special circumstances and uf it patriotic moues, U0 XCUSei ; UUl U TmtSt t,y 110 means be prmi' ud t otistitut a preee'dent hereafter lor the tlea'ment of any i.asa of similar inf. a. i ion of n-utral ot,!il... . i i g.ous o tore.gn xmsw oivAfn in commerce or the carrying trade."
