allelod difficulties and embsrrassmsnts, he has
administered tho Government of the United
States from his Inauguration 10 the present

wavsring support in tho past, so for tho future
retaining an abiding confidence IN his ability
integrity and patriotism, we pledge To him our

TIE NEws-At this present writing, no dc
ceived by the Government, but may be before
we go to press. The later private dispatches
which have been published, diminish our los
to FIVE thousand in killed and wounded. We
fear it must have been greater, considering
the forces engaged and the duration Of The
conflict.
The operations at Yorktown, which may pos.
sibly have been delayed by the storm, are, Of
course, awaited with great interest The in
terest in them would have been greater, If pub

SLAVE CATCHING

Senator wilson proposes TO make slaVC-CatSh'
ing less Offensive 10 the future than il has been
in the past. He gave notice yesterday that he
would introduce an amended fugitive slave law
10 day into the Senate. His bill provides for
trial by jury, strikes of all tho most cruel
of the penalties Of the present law, provides
that no STAKEHOLDER who cannot prove bis 10y
atty shall be entitled TO recover his fugitive
| slaves under the law, and adopts the general
principles OF the common law. The law, II
/ passed, will be 4 vast Improvement on the
present enactment. Whether any congress
sional slave ecatching law will suit the people
or Congress, remains TO be sccn The whole
business Of slave catching is just now 80 Odious
to all decent people especially in this city
where the kidnappers are driving brisk trade
that entire abolition would be more welcome
than the best Of amendments. An amended
law, however, Is q great deal better than no
action upon the subject
CONFsCATION AND EMANCIPATION.
Judge Thomas delivered a very able speech
in the House last evening, upon coniiscation
and general emancipation. II was The best
argument which can be made in favor Of the
South. side view OF this question. The drlt ol
the argument was against any attempt on The
part OF Congress 10 coniscate rebel property or
cmancipate the slaves Of rebels. We notice
that Mes.rs. Vallandigham aud Voorhees, were
among the first 10 congratulate the Massachu
setts member. That certainly was bad sign
When such men appiaud il were well for the
orator 70 pause and consider well il ii be MOI
possible that he is mistaken in his positions
The House listened with tho utmost attention Il

NEWS on TIL BATrLh.
There was great anxiety all day ysstcrds.
10 obtain official news from Pittsburg Land
ing up al the Capitol and at the Departments
Crowds Of people al the hotels, and in fact ali
over the city, were asking after 81 The official
dispatches The first question In all circle
was, What Is the latest from Pittsburg Land
ing?' or, a Has the War Department anything
official respecting the battler The abscnc
Of official dispatches excited some surprise
but when II was remembered that officialdis.
patches cannot be prepared in an hour, and that
iu all human probability our generals had
great deal 10 do besides writing correct &C
count Of the terrible contest Of Monday and
Tuesday, this surprise was lesssned. One fact
attracts attention in high quarters, we hear, to
wit: that while we have Government censor
ship established throughout the land, the New
York Herald was permitted to send across the
entire land, and publish the astounding, heart
rending statement that the Federal loss was
from eighteen to twenty thousand The very
next day this number was reduced to five
thousand. II we are to endure the embarrass
meuts and difficulties OF censorship, il seems
but fair that the country should enjoy some oi
is benefits and among other things, that W.
should be saved from such alarming and exag
geratsd stories as the Herald set a1oat
MAJOR GENERAL. wALLACs.
This well lknown general Is the brother in-law
of Senator Lane, Of Indiana. Last evening
Senator Laue had received no certain informa

quite probable that Brig. Gen. Wallace (o
Illinois, IL we mistake not) is the man Of thai
name who fell in the fierce contest wit b Beau

was appointed by Mr., Fcsscnden, the chairman
some time ago, consisting Of Mcssrs. Pearcc
Simmons and Howard, 10 examine into thu

TO the Senate. II will probably take more thar
week for the Finance Committee to iiuisf
their consideration of the measure, the sub
committee, from the sickness and absence o
its members, having as yet accomplished moth
ing There are various rumors aiioat respect
ing the course OF the committee on the llouS

equally confident that the committee will nu
essentially alter the bill as IL comes from th
