A flag Of truce went up to Cranov Island
this p. NJ, and brought back two Norfolk
papers.
Tho Republican saws substantially that it
learns with regret that after q gallant do.
fcnco. against guns most superior, Fort,
Pulaski surrendered az Q p. M. yesterday,
the llth Corporal Law. of the Pulaski
Guards. who did not leave Fort Thunderbolt
until after the flag was ha uled down, brings
the intelligence Of the successful event.
The surrender was unconditional. Seven
large breaches were made in the South wall
bv u Federal battery of oght Parrott guns.
At Kings Landing all the barbotte guns on
that sido woro dismpuntod. and also three
casemate guns, leaving but one gun bearing
on that point.
A clean breach was made In tho magazine.
Tho balls used wore conioal and were pro-
pelec with such force that they went clear
through the walls at nearly every fire.
Col. Omstoad. who was in command ,tele-
graphed the previous evening, that no one
could stand upon the parapets for single
moment, and that over one thousand
large shells had exploded within the fort.
The Republican publishes the above as a
postscript to a part of its edition aud makes
no comments nor gives anv particulars as
to tho number of men and officers in the
fort at the time of tho surrender. 1t says,
however, that none of its defenders we're
killed. and but four wounded.
Richmond paper contains an editorial
exhibiting considerable fear for the safety
of that city. 1t intimates that the Monitor,
Naugatuck and Galena, all armed vessels
might easily come up the James River, and
by their invulnerabiity aud powerful guns
take and koep possession of tho city. To
prevent snch result il proposes that the
channel of James River shall be distracted
by stone, which, it says, is abundant for the
purpose and should be used at once.
Tho Merrimac has not come out. Nothing
has been seon of her to-day. The tide has
beon low, and this may have kept her in. /.

OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL is, 1862.
Abolition of Slavery in the District Of
Columbia.

The bill for the abolition OF Slavery ir
the District Of Columbia has passed Con.
gress, and been signed by the President.
The vote in the two Houses was as FOL
lows: Scnate--yeas, 90; nays, IA
Iiouse--yeas, %; nays, SO. All the
yeas in the Senate we're Republicans, and
the nays Aut-Republicans. OF the thirty
eight Democratic members OF the House
from the Free States, iwenty.oue voted
nay, including; we regret to say, those
from Ohio. Messrs. Blair, Of Missouri,
aud Fisher, Of Delaware, were the only
members from the Slave States, who
voted yea.
The bill allows compensation nat ex-
ceeding $500 to the master OF every slave
it emancipates, provided that no one shall
receive any compensation who has aided
the Rebellion. Every claimsnt is re-
quired to make oath that he has not aided
the Rebellion, such oath, however, DOT to
be conclusive as TO his loyalty. The
bill also provides that, in taking testimony
before the Commissioners it creates, no
person shall be excluded by reason Of
color.
As might have been expected, this meas.
ure of justice was bitterly opposed by the
Union men of the Border States, who, with
all their attachment to tho Constitution, tho
Union and the Flag, spare no opportunity
to manifest their hardly less ardent at
tachment to the SOLE CAUSE Of the Ro
beliOn, Slavery. Even tho venerabl 10
Crittenden, true to bis education and asso-
Citations. spoke and voted against the aboIi-
tion of the National disgrace in tho District
of Columbia. But, thank God, his voice
and vote were unavaiing. Slavery no long
or exists at the Capital and under tho imme.
diate protection of the National Government.
How long shalt it be suffered to exist any
where on American soil Our law makers
have, for once, consulted the highest ex
pedioucy; for once, DARED TO DO RIGHT.
The country still survives, and is more hope.
full of the future Let them take courage
from tho result. More important work re:
mains to be done.

WASHINGTON. April 7.
The order OF Secretary Stanton, still

in effect, the chief command TO Gen. Nc.
Dowell in the advance TO hichmo ond, sur
prised no one here who had any famil-
iarity with the causes rendering that re-
suit inevitable. 1t is great event, and
will tell powerfully upon our military
future. The Army of the Potomac now
becomes three separate armies, or columns
each looking Richmondward One, un'
der Mcclellan, comprising tie corps o
Keyes and Heinlzleman, and its sphere
of operations is definitely pointed out il
the Secretary's order, designating the
limits OF the new military departments
The second, under Mcdowell, embraces
the corps Of General and of General Sum
ner, (nine divisions, Mcclellan having
but eight. with territorial limits includ
ing the District OF Columbia, part Of ih'
western. bank Of the Potomac. (from Har

lire eastern bank Of that river. from th'
same starting point TO the Chesapeak,

cludes the Valley of Virginia, and hi

1t will thus be seen that Nc Clellan ha:
now but two Of the five corps lately com
prising his command, and considerably
less than half Of the great army which ht
has lett here in idleness for the last siI
months, at an expense of nearly or quit,
two millions day. His field Of activ'
work is still more inconsiderable. being
merely the little triangle, of which on,

its mouth to the bogus rebel capital, ant
the eastward limit of the Potomac ant
