FelLotU citizens of the Senate.

The act entitled an act for the release

day been approved and signed. I have
never doubted the constitutional author.
ity of Congress to abolish slavery in this
District, and have ever desired to see
the National Capital freed from the in
Institution in some satisfactory way;
hence there has never been in my mind
any question upon the subject, except
the one of expediency, arising in view of
the circumstances. If there be matters
within. and about this act which might
have taken n course OF shape more salts
factory to kmy judgment, do not at
tempt to specify them am gratifed
that the two principles of compensation
and colonization are both recognized and
practically applied in the act In the
matter of compensation it is provided
that claims may be presented within
ninety days from the passage of the act,
but not thereafter, and as there is no saw
ing for minors, femmes-covert, insane, Or
absent persons, 1 presume that this is an
omission by mere oversight, and recon-,
mend that it be supplied by an Gmenda-

OUTnAGES IN LoUlSIANA.-A dls-
patch from Clinton, La, says that
the Federals arc committing great
ou,rages near Baton Rouge aud the
surrounding country. They go to
the different plantations and inquire
for cotton. aud if the cotton is burnt.
thew ask who burnt it. If the owner
answer, S that he burn. it, they march
him off and destroy everything on
the promises; drive of cattle, sheep.
hogs, etc, and lay vast the premises.
But if he answers that the Govern
meut had his cotton burnt, and the
owner can show a certificate that the
Government had the cotton burned,
they generally let the thing alone.
