Proposed Expulsion of Senator Powell.

The Secession yel pers of California have had
much to say against the proposition to expel
Lazarus W. Powell, of Kentucky, from the
United States Senate. The following remarks
OF Mr.. Davis. also Senator from Kentucky, are
clipped from the Congressional Globe. They
will be read with interest, as showing upon
what grounds the proposed expulsion was pre-
dicated
Ma DAVIS. Before the Senate proceeds
with other business, desire TO ask question,
by the courtesy of the Senate, of the chairman
OF the Judiciary Committee. Mr. President,
at the last session of the Kentucky Legislature,
that body passed a resolution instructing my
predecessor and my colleague to resign their
seats, because as The Legislature believed
they were not loyal, and according to the
principles and opinions of the State. represent
ing the State. On the Goth of February, one
OF the Senators from Minnesota Mr. WilkIn-
son introduced a resolution for the expulsion
of my colleague. Fifteen days have elapsed,
and there has been no report. The Legisa-
ture OF h kentucky are now 10 session. and they
want to know what viii be the action of the
Senate upon the resolution to expel my col
league. One House of the Legislature after
the resignation Of Mr.. Breckinridge, and after
my colleague declined to resign, passed a reso-
luton requesting the Senate to examine into
his loyalty, and if found disloyal, to remove
him by expulsion. The other branch of the
Legislature deemed it indelicate to press the
Senate upon that point, and refused TO act upon
it. That body is now in session, and it wishes
to adjourn in the course of a week or a short
time. | have received many letters from the
prominent Union members of that body inqui-
ring Of me what will be the action of the
Senate upon the subject, for this reason if my
colleague is to be retained in his seat, they
want to know it, that they may acquiesce if
my colleague is TO be removed as a member
from this body, they want to know it, that they
may send his successor here who will truly
represent the opinions and loyalty Of the State
in this body, by their own election. They are
unwilling to make recess. and then to permit
a dlsloyal and traitorous Governor 10 select a
Senator who shall represent the State of Ken
tucky in the room of my colleague, if be be
expelled from the body.
These are the reasons which they have as
signed for asking my attention to this subject,
and requesting me to ascertain at some con
venient and reasonable time. what disposition
the Senate intends to make of the subject |
call 1t up in this manLer this morning, to know
Of the chairman of the Committee on the Ju-
dietary when it is probable that the subject
Will be reported by that committee.

merely propose TO show why be was expelled
and why We indorse that expulsion On the
lst day of March, 1861, Bright addressed a
letter to JEFF Davis, of which the following
is a copy:

t On the 7th Of September he addressed let
ter oJ. Fitch, the concluding portion of which
was as follows:

OuR WOUNDED SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.-We have
frequently drawn attention to the necessity for
the organization Of special army ambulance
department, by means Of which our gallant SOL
diers wounded on the field Of battle might be
safely and expeditiously removed to places Of
safety and security. The recent battles of the
Rappahannock afford new evidence of this ne
cessity. When the news reached Washington
that immense numbers Of our soldiers were
wounded and lying on the field, exposed to
dreadful suffering, there was no alternative left
the War Department but to take all the cabs
and public conveyances that could be found
and despatch them to the field Of battle to re-
move the sufferers Of the vehicles 80 sent but
few returned. The majority Of them were rem
dered worse than useless, the rebels having
seized and carried on the horses. The wound
ed, therefore, had TO remain on the field, and II
is said that mp 10 Monday last there were still
twelve hundred there within the lines Of the
enemy.
Now, with well trained and properly sys-
tematizsd ambulance department in connection
with the army such painful occurrences would
be unknown, OF, at all events, the evil would
be greatly ame,iorated. The care Of the wound
ed in battle is Of the very highest importance.
1t affects the morale Of the army in high de-
gree if proper precautions are not taken to pro-
tect the soldier who falls wounded in the fight.
1t is stated that the rebels are greatly in ad-
vance Of VI in this respect ~ they have trained
bodies Of unarmed men accompanying their
army, whose only duty II Is to carry OF the
wounded from the field. We are glad to see
that Mcclellan has paid proper attention to
this matter in his march into Maryland.
The question is one which forces itself upon
| the attention Of the government; and II General
Meggs, Of the Quartermaster Generals Depart
ment, in whose province we presume IL is to
arrange such matters, could see to the immediate
! formation and discipline Of regular ambulance
army corps, il would be one Of the greatest
| practical benefits yet conferred upon our noble
army. The soldier, when he goes into battle,
naturally expects to be wounded; and when he
| knows that aid and succor are always at hand
when he falls he will enter the contest with a
more earnest and determined spirit. This and
other reasons show that the matter ought to be
attended TO at once; for there Is no duty more
imperative on the government than the care
and protection OF its wounded heroea
