THE SEVERITY OF THE CONTEST

Disaster having oYertaken the National Army
on the field Of Bull Run, and the general pub
lie, including the press, being much employed in
accounting for that disaster. the troops engaged
have not received that need OF praise for their
courage and endurance which their conduct de.
serves. Al accounts concur in saying that the
regiments engaged fought braveIy and Wei. The
contest in which they were engaged was almost
unprecedented in its character. The terrible
WORK OF stcrning intrcnchment, is generally con.
iided TO old and tried veterans. But, at Bull
hun' volunteers who had never seen a shot fired
IN anger, were not only led against an intrenched
foe but against an enemy whose batteries were
concealed from view, and whose existence was
for the fret time made known 10 their assailants
by the fire which they spouted in their very
faces. An officer who had seen much service

These gentlemen offered protest against the
passage of the bill, which we plJlish IN another
column.
The bill provides that in ease Of any Instruction
against the Government, that cannot ne suppressed
in the ordinary course OF law. any property that
shall be- purchased acquired, sold, OF given, or that
is used by permission Of tS owner, to aid and abct
the instruction, shall be lawful subject of prize and
capture wherever found. and that il shall be the
duty Of the President TO cause Il to be- seized, conts
Gated, and condemned. II provides that such
przes shall be condemned in the District or Circuit
Court of the United States having jurisdiction Of
the amount or ia the Admiralty Courts in any dis
trict where the seizure may be made or where they
shall be- first taken, and proceedings instituted. II
empowers the Attorney General or the District
Attorney OF the district where the property may be
seized, TO institute proceedings, when the seizure
shall be wholly for the benefit oi the United Stntes
or information may be- filed with such attorney by
any person. in which ease the prize shall be- equally
divided between the iniormer and the Government
And it further provides that when any Stakeholder
shall employ or permit the employment ol h- slave
in aiding or promoting an Instruction, the mae
Ter shall hcncelorth forfeit oil right 10 such slave
and the slave shall be free. Such, stripped of liz
technical language, is the purpon OF the bill.
The protest OF tho objeeting Senators, it will
be seen, is based upon al alleged uncOnstitntiOn-
atty of this act. Their argument is that the
Constitution, by defining treason aud the method
az .o,,,y;et;ou f,r tLe crime has restricted Con-
grcss from such legislation. II IS q sufficient
answer ihatt though thc Constitution defines trea.
son, and prohibits certain penalty, it prcscrbes
no punishment, but leaves that to Congress. 1t
can then only be inferred that it was the inten-
ton OF the trainers Of the Constitution TO leave
the Whole subject, not only Of Che punishment OF
treason. but of the kindred crime OF aiding and
abctting it in any way, entirely within the power
OF Congress. There is on act of the United
States already covering the crime Of trenfon, and

Of Fairfax Court House. He has been in the
city for a day or two, and returned to Wash

himself with conspicuous GOODNESS and bravery.
