was made the last night Of the session
to suspend the rules and put it upon its
passage, but this required two third

thus the bill failed of becoming law

Many Of our people assert that the
rebels, by taking up arms againt the
government have forfeited al their
rights under the constitution that
through their rebellious conduct they
have no more claims upon the Consti-
tuition nor does the Constitution guar.
antec them anything further, Now
these opinions are erroneous, and we
do insist that the rebels still have Ger.
tain rights under the Constitution, and
plead that the full and uninterrupted
enjoyment OF these rights should be ne.
cured to them. Because the enemy by
their own acts, have deprived them.

generous, manly or charitable on our
part to deprive them Of their few re-
naming rights under the Constitution.

II is the general opinion among dis.

within week. Several mutinies have
occurred among the soldiers who still
remain there. During the past few days
citizens at Memphis arc sick Of the
reign Of terror under which they have
lived for the last year, aud hopefully
look forward to the day when the old

The Chicago Tr;bune's Correspondent
writing from Camp Shiloh near Corinth.
Says Of Gen. Curtis:
81 also learn that Gen. Curtis is com.
ing down the White and Arkansas ri.
vers on RATS. This would bring out
into the Mississippi about 200 miles be.
low Memphis. Could he there effect a
junction with our gunboats coming up
from New Orleans, it may be said that
the river would be to all intents and
purposes in our possession. Should
Gen. Curtis however, be attacked by a
superior force Of the enemy, his position
would certainly be precarious one.
It is said, however that there are no re-
bells there in any very great numbers.
Gen. Curtis's army is supposed to mum.
