The Confiscating Bill.

We publish In this paper the Bill passed BY
Lincoln's Congress for confscating the proper
ty Of southerners. The intended effect OF this
Bill may be gathered from the following extract
from Mr.. Breckinridge's speech In the United
States Senate
He showed, said he. some time ago that the
course the Senate was pursuing was tending To
trsmp3e the Constitution under foot. Both
Houses had passed bill con6scating all prop
erty In tho seeded States used in aiding the
rebellion, and he need not say that all proper
~ 10 used to support those who were carrying
on the war. To this bill is added that all PEE.
sons held TO service or labor, aiding in the re.
bellion, shsll be freed from such service or Ia.
Dor this, he said. was plainly an act Of eman-
cipasion, as all these persons are employed in
rsasing thevery means OF support Of the peo
pie OF the seeded States.

These brave men survived the great battle of

they fell at the post of duty and honor.
