At last the North has shown her hand up on the subject of slavery.

Those who witnessed the scene in the House.to-day will never see its like again. It was universally known that the vote would be 'taken to-day. Tho galleries, therefore, commenced filling up nt an earl}- hour in .th?* morning. Long before the hour was reached for taking tho vote every noak .ind-corner was tilled. The reporters' gallery was also nearly tilled by ladies who were o Dable to secure seats or standing room elsewhere. ' S'ate of ficials and members ot' Congress, "Senators, Cabinet officials and Judges, all mingled to gether, ! manifesting-- a deep interest. in the svent of the hour.

'Beside him sat' Chief Justice Chase, with a countenance full of hopo. An e?ort was made on the democratic side bo postpone thc. vote to another day. Almost iV?-ry Republican member juiup-.d to his feet, md' the eries of '? No, da ; vote, vote,'' rang through thc hall. Thc Republicans clamored for a vote, and ;he democrats persisted in not being cut eil. This appeared to arouse the.aneer of many Liepublicans. There, was Thad.

This point conceded, he assured them that upon every other matter of difference, they would be treated with the utmost' liberality.. Another telegram says Stephens was the most liberal of the rebel- deputation. His theory was, if we would but treat with them .as an independent nation, that such an agreement could be had as would practically unite the North and South. A special to tho Tribune says Stephens surpassed all his old exhibitions ' 3fshrewdr'?3, force and talent in putting tho der .ad 0f the Confederacy in the. midst Loin. At the conclusion - of ona of hts points, Lincoln swung forward and interrupt 3d lim, saying.-'' that reminds me of the sto ry of a.man in Illinois." - The Commissioners I immediately jumped up in a roar of merri ment, after the story.waa through, when Ste phen j ros um td and pursued to the end bis ?latement. of terms on .Which he thought the rebels would befitting to step the war.
