The two ConEiscnfiom RiIls

The radical difference between the Confisca-
ton bills ofthe Senate and the 10 use as report
ed by the Select Committees on the subject
is as follows: The House bill confiscates real
estate tever, and provides that property may
be confscated without the verdict of jury
against the owner as guilty of treason. The
Senate bill confscates the life-estate of real
property, and provides for trial by jury
These are the two important constitutional
points, about which there has been so much
disagreement.

WASHINGTON, May 81, 1862.
MEssRs. EDITORS My attention has been
called to an article in the Racine Journal of
May 9TH, rejecting on the course of Senators,
but evidently intend for James r. Doolittle.-
Now, have spent much of my time in Wash
ington, of late, and like other citizens of the
United States, have felt anxious to see this re-
bellion wiped out, the property of rebels confs-
Gated, and the leaders made to breathe their last
ut least sir feet ADORE ground. After due con
sderation, 1 am compelled to say that our SEN
ators are just what they should be. In times
of trouble, like the present, they do not permit
themselves to be forced to act unconstitutional
ly, to crafty a momentary passion, but stand
by the "old ship of State" in the Senate while
their brothers and sons contend on the field of
battle. I speaE what L know, when / say that
the Hon. Senators ar e advocating the only con.
hscation that is constitutional, and that will
reach the authors of this rebellion, and by do
ing SO they show their wisdom Now adopt
the words of the Journal, James knows"
Knows what? why that the course
he has pursued the past three years and the
past three months will secure his election to the
United States Senate, for he maintained the con-
stitution, and devised way to punish the reb
els under it.
five intend to hand down to posterity our
beloved country untarnished as our forefathers
gave it to US, that kind of legislation will do it.
1 am no enthusiast; nor am l led by any one
nor do like to see our public journals led es |
tray by designing men, who seek their own ele- |
walton, regardless of truth and justice. The |
Journals attack is intended for no other than
the Hon. j. r. DooLITTLE, for all lis filings |
are directed that way, while contending that
Wisconsin is not represented in the Senate
Its article copvinces me that its editor has been
with some of the axes he had to |
grind, forgetting the ten-thousand dollor ak al
ready ground to the detriment OF our State
He will yet learn that honest legislation is best
and will last longest, so l propose another text
for the journal 10 preach from, and it is this
that James R. Doofittle be returned to the SEN
ate Of the United Staes, for his efforts in main
tanning the constitution, and for his unceasing
attention to the interests of our State.
Yours, &c. j. L.

Abolition of slavery in she District of
Columbia.


Neither Engshmen nor Frenchmen have
been forward to recognize the fact that the
10th of April, 1862 was a day which will stand
in American history as the greatest day since
thai of signing the Declafation of Independ-
euce-the day of this century which will be
honored through all time, whatever may be the
destiny in store for the Republic. When the
traditions Of sea and land victories are becom-
ing dim, when the grass has grown high on he
graves Of fallen heroes, that day will stand high
est in the scale of national festivals, aud the re-
formers of the second revolution will seem to
form, in the vista of the past, one group with
the patriots Of the first. Ga that day the peo-
pie of the United States ceased to be slave
holding nation. Till then there had been q
gulf fixed between them and all the Christian
nations which had outgrown the baTbarism of
holding men as slaves and now the nation has
come over TO the side on which we stand. Ii is
now entitled to act and speak as free nation
should. II is now qualified to act with us with
out misgt wing and without hypocrisy. against
the Slave trade. Il is no lCager a subject for
sceptcism aud scorn Of the world, because of
the contrast between its profession and its prac-
tlce. After a struggle between the best and
worst elements Of lis society-H struggle pro-
longed through two geueralons-it has abolish
ed Slavery on the National territory and tn
National Government Las ceased to be slave
holding power. Slavery has sunk to be mere
State institution; and, deprived Of National
sanction aud support, and exposed as it now is,
to the condemnation of the American Govern
ment. together with all other Governments, it
cannot long sCstaiu Itself under the scorn and
lOathing of human society. As national in
stltution 1t could assume to defy foreign opin-
ion. AS domestic institution Reproduced
at Washington as in London and Paris its
doom is plain and its strength is broken.

WHY YORKTOWN WAS EVACUATED

We learn that Gen. Johnston fell back from
Yorktown because he discovered that Gen. Nc
Clellan did not mean to fight him fairly, but to
protract the issue by regular approaches and
siege operations. Gen. Johnston could not af
ford to waste so much time and strength of his
army by awaiting their mole-like operations -
1t was difficult to supply his army at Yorktown
and his men were being wors out in the trench
es. He preferred making a stand where Nc
CIeDlan would be compelled to come after him
and give him manly fight. 1t is believed that
if the Union Napoleon had attacked Johnston
in his peLinsuar lines, the Yankee army would
have been annihilated Mobile Register, 9Th.

of infantry. The fight commenced at IL O'Clock
and continued till night, when the infantry
force succeeded in surrounding them.
The first tight and repulse took place east of
the Shenandoah, and finding the force too great
he retreated to the west side destroying the
principle bridge on the west side of the of riv-

back until the close of the day, when he was
placed in an ambulance perfectly exhausted
The last fight took place about four miles
this side of Front Royal, his efforts to fall back
in order, expecting reinforcements momentarily
from Gen. Banks.
A member of Knapp's battery, who escaped,
says the Maryland regiment fought bravely and
that Col Kenly led them frequently TO bayonetl
charges. He also says that on the third ap-
proach of Ashby, he displayed white flag I'M
I'll within pistol range. When Colonel Kenly
ordered to cease firing the white isgiwas thrown
down, and the enemy rushed on our troops, cut
ting and slashing and refusing al quarters

both reported wounded and prisoners
There were but six companies of the Mary
land regiment engaged in the fight, the remain
ing four being on picket duty and as Provost

A Blessing, a Kiss and Goodnight.

The shadows Of twilight are creeping
Soft over the brightness of day,
The flowers of the wildwood are weeping
Farewell to the suns parting ray.
My spirit is wandering to thee, love,
In visions all gloriously bright,
Then whisper blessing for me, love,
A blessing, kiss and goodnight.
In heaven now the pure stars are smiling
Like angel eyes watching me here,
And music, the lone heart beguiling,
Steals gently and low on my ear.
My spirit is smiling on thee, love,
And murmuring song of delight,
Then whisper blessing for me, love,
A blessing, kiss and goodnight.
Young voices, in earnest tone blending,
Rise clear through the still even air,
And angels their pinions are bending,
To catch the low breathing of prayer.
My spirit is praying for thee, love
Heaven clothe all thy pathway in light
Then whisper a blessing for me, love,
4 blessing. kiss and good night.
