Emancipation Measures.

We recently called the attention of our
readers to the proclamation of President
LINCOLN, recommending the adoption by
Congress of resolution pledgiug the Fed
eral government to cooperate with any
State which might take initiatory steps to
free itself from Slavery. 1t gives US
much pleasure to note that Congress has
res espouded to this most wise and most sal
utary proposition, In manner becoming
the representatives Of great people
Having previously passed the House, it
was adopted by the Senate on Nednes-
day, the I'd inst, receiving the support OF
every Republican Senator, of course. But
most gratifying fact is, that ii received
the votes also of Mr.. DAVIS, CT Kentucky,
Mr.. WILEY, Of Virginia, and Mr.. HEN
DERsON, Of 1issouri-three Union mein-
bers representing Slave States-and the
vote Of Mr. THOMPSON, Democrat from
New Jersey. Than this there could be
no better evidence of the conservative and
cOnclli&tOTS CuafdCteE u lne Ulcasufe
The action taken strictly accords with
the suggestion of the President, and is
certainly free from all constitutional OBJ
jections. The responsibility for the ex-
istenee Of Slavery is left precisely where
the Constitution has left it-that is, with
the people of the States wherein the insti-
tuition is tolerated-but the idea is, that,
when these people wish to rid themselves
of the evil, the Federal government will
lend them a helping hand, and furnish
means to assist them in bearing the bur-
dens imposed by the change of system
The passage of this measure will, We doubt
not, be followed by most important re-
suits.
On Thursday last, the Senate also pas
sed the bill for the abolition of Slavery in
the District of Columbia, with peouniary
compensation to loyal owners. The an
nouncement OF the result was followed by
much applause in the galleries The f.
nal vote on the bill was as follows:

THE Tax BILL.-The House of Rep
resentatives is busily engaged in consid-
ering the tax bill. a subject of consid-
cradle interest to newspaper proprietors
and to the business community was under
consideration yesterday. Dir. Colfax pro-
posed to strike out the tax on advertise
ments. After some discussion it was de-
cided that all Journals which have cir
culation of less than two thousand copies
or an advertising patronage of less than
81 600 per annum, shall be exempt from
taxation. Thus, nearly all country news
papers will escape the proposed duty

\ CURIOUS DEvELoPMENT.-T Com
mereial BalIetin, in referring to a recent
letter Of Donald MKay, publishes the
following statement: Would the nation
believe it, that the very plans and specif-
cations by which the rebel steamer Mer-
rlnac was rendered shot proof, we're fur
nished by Mr.. vi Kay to our own Navy
Department, nearly year ago, to be a2-
piled to our own vessels for harbor defence !?
! ct such is the fact How did the rebels
obtain them? Mr. M'Kay says that when
he produced his plans to build an iron
clad vessel Of war, the Secretary of the
Navy and the President were anxious
that such a vessel as he proposed should
be built without delay bat the chief ma
val constructor, when the plans were sub
mitted to him, would not even turn his
back to look at them, but answered Mr.
NJ Kay, over his shoulder, that iron plating
was humbug. Finding that it was time
thrown away to remain in Washington,
Mr.. M'Kay left to look after his own
business at home"

recent visit to that borough, that there
are not six Senators that are not of one
mind, really, in reference to governmen-

pears to be at any time great division

the horde of lick-Spittle correspondents of
the New York dailies, and other sensa-

HoLLIN's STEAM RAM.-The following
description Of Hollin's steam ram, which
has been remodeled and rebuilt since the
engagement at the mouth OF the Mlssis-
sippi, we take from the St. Louis Repu6
ttcaR
81 have seen a rough sketch of Hollin's
celebrated gunboat-the Manassas, or
Turtlc-taken from the descriptions Of
intelligent persons in Columbus who have
seen her She is about one hundred feet
long and twenty feet team, and draws
from nine to twelve feet water. Her
shape above water is nearly that of half
sharply pointed egg SHE'LL SO that a shot
viii glance from her no matter where 1t
strikes Her back is formed of twelve
inch oak, covered with one and half inch
bar iron. She has two chimneys, so ar
ranged as to slide down In time of action.
The pilot house is in the stern Of the boat
She is worked by a powerful propeller,
but cannot stem strong current. She
carries only one gun, 6o-pounder, right
In her bow.
"The secessionists of Columbus say that
at one time she would have come up here
to test the metal of our forts if the water
naQ HOC Deen 100 low. mere was no time
however, while she was at Columbus, when
there was not water enough to float her
She is said to be now at Island No. 10,
and IL is reported that she would come up
and engage our boats if she could stem
the current. There are too many ifs'
about the institution.
"There is only one entrance to her,
through trap door in her back. Her
port hole is furnished with heavy pa
ted trap, which springs up when the gun
is run OUT and falls down when it is run
back. How the crew get their light and
air | can't pretend to say.
"This Turtle Is certainly formidable
affair, second Merrimac in its way, and
appears capable of doing much damage,
while receiving but little. 1t would be
impossible to board her, as there is only
one entrance, and she is supplied with
hose for throwing hot water.
eff the Turtle is all the secesh fancy
paints her, why doesn't she try the bat
teries of Point Pleasant and Smith s

ANNIVERSARY OF FORT SUMTER-The
Charlestonians, it seems, are looking for
ward with fearful forebcdings to the 18th
of April-the anniversary of the rebel
assault on Fort Sumter. They have come
to the conclusion that the National Power
Is reserving till that day the taking of its
revenge on the original home of the Sc
cession treason. Accordingly the valiant
cons of ehivalry, born ''insensibIe to fear,"
according to the last account we had from
there were making preparations for a Wig
orous-fight. In what direction it shall
be, however, it is really difficult to see.--
Their favorite haunts among the sea is
lands Of Port Royal are now in the hands
of the hated Yankees Savannah is i'm
minently menaced by great military and
naval force. Nothward, their avenue is
stopped by Burnside; while the hills of
East Tennessee are in the possession of
the arms of the Union. What General
Hunters purposes may be in regard to
this matter we do not know, but the an
tlcipations Of the Charlestonians. prompt
ed by their consciousness of guilt, may
not be altogether unfounded 1t would
certainly be fitting aud just that the flag
should be proudly restored to Fort Sumter
on the very anniversary of the day on
which it was ignominiously lowered to
armed traitors

BE- The insane clamor against. Gen
Fremont last summer led to his removal,
and the breaking up of the expedition
down the Mississippi. 1t could then have
been accomplished with comparatively lit
tie resistance, and these troublesome is
lands turned into federal instead of rebel
strongholds. We now see the cost OF
listening to tender footed Union men aud
adhsrents to the Constitution"

ESs- It is stated that DIR. Russell III

E&~ 1t is stated that DIR. Russell, the
correspondent Of The London Times, has
secured his passage home by a steamer
soon to sail, and that the reason of this
somewhat sudden departure is to be found
in his recent dismissal from the vessel
from Washington to Fortress Monroe
The order of the Secretary of War prohib-
iting correspondents of the Press from
accompanying the Army of the Potomac
has now been rescinded.

This bill will secure the immediate
emancipation of about fifteen hundred or
two thousand negroes, whom our law-ma-
kers have already too long suffered to
be held in bondage at the very portals of
the Capitol. Asking our readers TO scan
the vote, We express cur heartfelt delight
that not solitary Republican Senator has
permitted his name to be recorded against
this humane and righteous measure. The
nays, it will be seen, are composed wholly
of Union men and Democrats These lat
ter very generally admitted that Congress
has the exclusive right to legislate for
the District of Columbia, and admitted
also the right to pass the bill in question :;
and yet, after all this, when the bill is
put upon its passage, thesc gentlemen all
manage to record their votes against it.
Why is this Is it because these gen.
tlemen still cling TO Slavery as one OF the
bulwarks of our free institutions Or,
are they only playing hand in the big
game now going on to rally the scattered
fragments Of Democracy for the coming
campaign ?
