In the Senate, yesterday, an animated ue,
bate took place on the bill for the abolition o'
Slavery in the District of Columbia. Inc
original bill was amended, so that no payment
for slaves shall be made to any person who has
aided the rebellion in any way. MIR. Pome'
rows amendment, to the effect that there shall
be an equitable settlement between master and
slave rather than the assumption that any com
pensation ia due to the former, was re-
iected. Another amendment offered, was, that
the master might retain possession Of the slave
till the money appropriated for his purchase il
paid. This was also rejected. An amendment,
striking out the sum of $500 as an average,
was offered aud rejected. The substitute for
this bill, offered by Mr.. Clark of New-Hamp
shire, was considered; an amendment to thai
was adopted, fixing the average value Of the
slave at $500, and making one-half payable to
the master, one.half to the slave himself, when
the latter, being Free shall emigrate to another
country; another amendment, providing FOL
submitting the question to the people OF the
District, was rejected.

Our special correspondent at Port Royal
gives an interesting account of the commence
ment and progress Of the experiment, initiated
by private enterprise and sanctioned and AS
sisted by the Government, of cultivating the
abandoned plantations of the Sea Islands by
free or paid labor. The first company, which
arrived on the 9TH of March, consisted of 43
men and ~ women. All but two of them are
at and near Beaufort. They had with them
tools, seeds, clothing and books and were at
once assured of the cordial cooperation Of
Gen. Sherman, Gen. Stevens and oil the principal
officers of the army and navy. Two weeks
were spent in a general survey Of the islands
and plantations, in establishing agents and dis
tributing supplies. BY the 22d all the agents
wero assigned TO their stations, occupying six
islands, which embrace 172 plantations. On
some estates they found the negroes doing well,
working faithfully, and developing the full ca
pacity of the SOIL Such do not require super
ntendence, and the number of agents now
there is sufficient for all tho labor that is in
tended. The Rebels stripped many of the es-
tates of everything in tho way of provisions,
aud there was consequently much restitution
and suffering. Cattle, mules, and horses were
also taken, and are now greatly needed. Cot
ton cultivation is left to the drivers on the
plantations, all of whom are negroes, and who,
though their fellows are no longer slaves, re-
tain much influence and authority. The agents
are thus left to general oversight. and have
leisure to inculcate habits of industry and
thrift. 1t is not expected that large crop of
cotton can be raised, as the planting will be
late, and the land is much Of it in bad orders
so, if the fret crop pays expenses, it may be
deemed success. Negroes who are habitually
idle or refuse TO work arc sent to tho Quar-
termaster, who gives them little military dis
cipline, which they are careful not to subject
themselves TO second time. The negroes
work better with SGT tasks than by the day,
as that has always been tho custom. Thus
far, corn and potatoes only have been planted,
tho cotton. planting season being oil the
month of April. The business Of education is
scarcely begun, but the little that has been
done gives fair promise. Our correspondent

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
ABROAD.

The Jura's mails arrived last night at q late
hour, bringing the English journals Of Thurs.
day, the Goth ult.. in which reference is made
to the Presidents message. Few Of the pa.
pers attempt any elaborate comments on the
message, probably because of the late receipt
of the intelligence-the Hibernia, which
carried tho news, only having arrived 1t
Londonderry late on Wednesday, the 10Th. The
Times's article we reproduce in full; not
on account of its intrinsic value, but as show.
ing that the far.reaching policy Of the Presi.
dent was partially apprehended even by this
influential English commentator as being tie
most important official measure since the out.
break of the rebellion. The Importance st
tached to the great act of the 9th Of March
shows that the impression produced BY the
proclamation abroad, when it comes to 30
calmly considered, will be as profound % that
which it created among ourselves at homo.
The Times says:

The charge, recently made public, connecting
en-. President Pierce with the secret and sup
posed reasonable organization known as the
Knights of the Golden Circle, has been repudi'
ated by the ex-Presdent, apparently with some
indignation. According to the telegraphic re-
port TO the Associated Press, Il note was sent
TO Mr.. Pierce from the State Department,
stating that such an accusation was made
against him, with an intimaton that "ony In
" formation on the subject would be accePta'
"ble." The reply of the ex-President was al
expression of surprise that such charge
should have been received with any credence, and
TO which his well-known character should have
been sufficient refutation. The form OF the
note. moreover, seems to have been deemed
offensive; and as Mr.. Seward thought proper
to apologize for the ill-considered net OF sub
ordinate in the State Department, the objection
was undoubtedly well taken. That ex-Presi'
dent Pierce had really entangled himself in On!
treasonabe alliance with o secret association
was probably never believed BY anybody.

NORTHERN "VANDALS,"

The rebel papers have been very fond
of calling our officers and soldiers North
ern 'Vandals," although the burning and
destroying at the South, has been wholly
the work of their own Generals and peo-
pie. A good commentary on the justice
of the appellation has been afforded at
Hilton Head. A correspondent of the
Hartford Press relates that beautiful
marble door to tomb in the graveyard
of church, about five or six miles from
Hilton Head, having been wantonly de-
stroyed, the officers of the seventh Con-
necticut regiment raised a subscription
and sent to New York for new marble
door, which has been received and put in
the place of the one destroyed. The
outrage was not committed by Conneti-
cut troops, but the officers felt unwilling
that such an outrage by any Union SOL
diers should remain without atonement-

It was the Deacon, with sun burned fore
head and butternut- -colored suit, his honest
face beaming with pleasure.
"Well, sister, I've come to bring my little
Kitty home! The fact is, we couldn't get
along without her any longer. Where is
she? Why don't she come to kiss her old
fatherg'
Mrs. Gregory sank down on the nearest
sofa and buried her face in her pocket
handkerchief, sobbing wildly. The Deacon
stared in astonishment.
"Why, what's the matter? She isn't
sick? 2"
Mrs. Gregory could not answer-she only
rose and threw open the folding doors, let
ting stream of light into the room where
lay slender figure all draped in snowy
in the whitest Of muslin, for the grave, with
roses scattered on the breast, and the fair
hands tied together with pearly ribbon.
The touch of art had not desecrated the
the dusky gold of the lovely hair which
rippled in shining waves around the marble
brow The Deacon stood for moment as
the man may stand upon whose fated head
the scorching thunderbolt has fallen-then
he sank senseless to the floor; in blessed
though momentary oblivion, his last words
ringing like knell on Mrs. Gregory's quiv.
ering ear.
"You have killed her-you have killed
my little Kitty!'
Many year after the crimson leaves
drifted like a rain of blood around the lonely
farm house on the hill-many a night the
dancing freight illunined the raftered
kitchen, where the oleanders. still blossomed
and the gray headed old couple rat opposite
one another silent with the everlasting
weight of great sorrow that never could
shape itself into words. But Kitty's foot
| step never cheered their listening ears moro
and the winds on the far off church yard
slope moaned sadly among the leaaess rost
trees raising above her golden hair, as
though they knew that the sunshine of one
lonely home lay under that coffin lida
| And so passed away Kitty Gregory-only
