The Confederate Ambassadors Captured.

The news of the success OF our naval fleet
at Port Royal had not ceased to thrill every
ioval heart when the whole country was cleo
trified by the intelligence that Messrs Mason
and Slidell the rebel ministers to England
and France, were taken upon the high seas
nv the commander of the San Jaclnto, one OF
our war steamers, and that they were on
their way to Fort Warren, near Boston, the
place where the traitors are now being held.
or as many of them as the government has
vet seized. The only drawback to this JOY
full intelligence Gf indeed there be any is
the fact that these traitors were taken from
an English vessel, and if Eng land seeks a
rupture with this government, as some try to
make out. this may be made the OCCASION
However, we Judge there are not many fears
as TO the result, as extracts which We publish
elsewhere will show that England has estab-
lished precedent which she will not be like
" to recklessly violate or set aside. 1t ap-
pears that the San Jacinto, Commodore
Wilkes, was on her way home from the coast
of Africa, and stopping at Havana, the com
modore learned of the escape of the rebel
commissioners, and also that they had taken
passage from that port on the British mail
steamer Trent He started in pursuit, ami
overhauling the British vessel near the Ra-
hama isles he demanded the prisoners, and
though refused by the English commander
Commodore Wilkes showed that he was able
and should take them. when they were UNI
graciously given up. Nothing in the cam
paign has so thrilled the nation, not even our
successes in South Carolina; and all admit il
fitting act to crown the weeks victories Of
the Unionists.

Gen Cameron having been called for came
forward and said:
"Soldiers-It is too late for me to make
you speech tonight, but will say that

your noble commander. The doctrine when
he has laid down approve as fully as If MS
words had been my own. 1t is idle to talk
about treating with these people upon their
own terms. We must meet them as enemies
and punish them as our enemies, until the!

The Senate has lodged MIR Powers claim in
shrewd and timely manner. The whole
subject by their vote is referred to commit
tee consisting of the Governor. Lieutenant
Governor, and Speaker of the House. The
House probably will not ratify the plan, Dut
in either case they get fairly rid of the re-
sponsibility. The Peace Commissioners OF
February last have been voted S6S6'o,
which pays their expenses but gives them no
recompense for their time. They made no
claim for either.
The House worked hard all day yesterday
to get their militia bill through, as, according
to Joint rule, to-day is the last chance TO
get any bill into the Senate. There is also
rule that no sitting of the Legislature shall
be prolonged after ten O'Clock at night. This
hour was approaching and there was just
time for the passage Of the bill and adjourn
ment, when Mr.. Noyes called for the yeas
and nays, which occupied time enough to

the speaker announced that the time of ad-
journment had arrived, and it was his duty
to drop the hammer, but an appeal was taken
and the speaker, instead of falling back upon
the joint rule, entertained the motion and his
decision was overturned and they proceeded
to pass the bill, contrary to all law and pre-
cedent What is the most foolish part of
the proceeding is that it was then too late
and might as well have been passed to-day.
There are many bills of importance in SIM
liar fix for which there is no remedy. But
this can all be made right by taking the Sen
ate bill instead, which is preferred by many
members even of the House; or by lacking
this on to the enacting clause of the Senate
bill as an amendment, and propose it to the
Senate. This would be successful evasion
of the rule in question.

The War and Slayery.-A Significant
Speech.

The abolition and republican parties are
being thrown entirely in the shade on the
slavery question, and the effect Of this war
upon it, by the out-and-out democrats. Gen
Buffers views are already we'll known. Col
Cochrane, leading democrat of New York.
in an address to his regiment few evenings
since, advanced the sentiments that the GOV
eminent mast use the siures in assisting to
put down this rebellion. This taken in con-
nection with the fact that these remarks were
endorsed by MIR Cameron, our secretary OF
war, has peculiar significance. We believe
the sensitveness with which our government
has treated the slavery question in this war
is getting worn off. But hear what Colonel
COchrane said:
IF you seize their property, if you open
their ports, ii you destroy their lives, ask
YOU whether you will not seize their slaves
ask YOU whether You will not arm their
slaves, and whether you will rot carry them
by battalions into war against their masters
lCheers) What You have no sympathy
tor white rebels, and yet YOU will spare the
black slave whom they use. Why, if it be
necessary to save this government, | would
plunge their Whole people, black and white
into one indiscriminate sea Of carnage and
slaughter, and build upon it a government
which shall be the vicegerent of God. Let
US have no more of this dallying with peoples
dilitant conservatism, this doubling in cabi-
net when your soldiers are perishing in the
field. Soldiers, you know nc such reasoning
as this. You have arms in Your hands, and
those arms are for the purpose of eXtermina
ting The enemy, until he submits to law, or.
der, and the constitution. Then explode
whatever magazine of combustibles is in your
way; set fire to and consume the cotton; ex
port the cotton, take property wherever you
can find it, contscate property wherever you
can find it; take the slave and bestow hin

unto them as they would do unto you; raise
up in their midst party interest against the
present STAKEHOLDER; distract their counsels
