Another Good Move.-The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, gave another proof of its determination to devote itself henceforth to the business of the extra session. Mr. Warren of Georgia, having introduced on Tuesday an amendment to the rules of the House, providing that no member should speak more than one hour on any one question, moved a suspension of the rules on Monday with a view of calling up this amendment.--The house, by a vote of two to one, agreed to suspend, and Mr. Warren, remarking that his resolution was one which restricted members from too much talking, and should not, therefore, be much talked about, moved the previous question to be put, and adopted the rule proposed by Mr. Warren by the decisive vote of yeas 117 to nays 75.

The advantages of this new rule are obvious; yet it argues no little self-denial on the part of the majority that they consented to limit themselves in this particular after the wide scope heretofore allowed. The rule will not at all interfere with the practical, business speeches of the session, for they rarely occupy over an hour, but it will effectually clip the wings of those especial favorites of the Albany Argus, who are forever seeking opportunities to "indulge their fancies," to the great annoyance of the House and the growing disgust of the people.
