The Presidents message on the emeuci-
patton Of slavery il the District Of Column
bia is a. follows:
Fellolc Citizens IF The Senate and House Of
Representatives.:
The act entitled an act for lhe release Of
certain persons held to service or labor lr
the District Of Columbia has rhis iav been
approved and signed. have uegeI doubt
ed the constitutional authority Of Congress
to abolish slavery in this District, and !
have ever desired to see tho National Can
ital freed from the institution in some sat-
isfactory way. Hence there has never
been in my mind any question on the sub
ject. except one Of eXpediency arising in
view of all the circumstances. If there be
matters within and about this act which
might have taken course o: shape more
satisfactory to my judgment. l do net at
tempt to specify them. am gratifed that
the true principles Of compensation and
colonization are both recognized and prac-
tically applied in this act 10 the matter
of compensation, il is provided that claims
may be presented within ninety days Of
the passage Of the act, but not thereafter
and there is saving for minors, .temmeg CO.

The Army Before Yorktown.

EuEETesS monroe, April Il.
The rebels have for several days been
building large Qualifications on the Glouces
ter side Of York River, about two miles
from Yorktown and within sight of our
GunbOats, but their guns were of too iong
range 60 allow she approach of our gun
boats 30 she'll the works. About one thous
anu men we're at work on the Notifications
and the mOrtaTs are of not sufficient range
to check the Notifications. Yesterday
morning, however, the gun5oat Sebags ar
rived, having l00-pounder rlfed Parrot
gun, and a. once opened upon them with
shell, which we're so well aimed that thew
could te seen falling in their midst and
exploding with fearful effect. The rebels
could he distinctly seen carrying off their
killed and wounded, and, in the course of
two hours, the work was entirely suspend.
ed, the men retiring out of range. at ev-
cry attempt to renew the work, they were
driven back, up to night.
The guns mounted Ly the enemy on the
Yorktown side of the river number not
less than fifty one hundred FOUNDERS, sor,e
of them rihed, bearing directly Oh the bar.
Our gunbcats are at presen: about two
miles below the town.
There is said to be skirmishing along
the whole line before Yorktown. and the
Berdan Sharpshooters are spreading terror
among the gunners of the enemy Iiy their
unerying aim. The enemy have made sew
eral sort,es with infantry to disludye or
capture our riflemen, but have been driven
back with heavy loss.
As to the arrangements of the final
siege, we need only say, the work goes
bravely on.
There was some firing this morning by
rebel batteries to the left of Yorktown. No
damage was done.
An extensive smoke has been rising all
day from Newport News, leading to the
belief that preparation are making to evac
uate it. 1t has DOW ceased to be q position
Of importance.
Fortress Monroe. ApriI 10.
Thirty>nine wounded from Yorktown ar.
rived to-day, making ninety wounded in
the fight on our left faux on Wednesday
In the Norfolk papers Magruder's ac-
count gives twenty-five killed, including
Col. Mckinney, and seventy-fye wounded.
Canuonsding is heard to wards Yorktown
but it is an attempt Of the enemy to dis
turb our working parties.
With the exception of the affair at the
rifepits on Thursday, they get worsted in
skirmishing.
Work progresses rapidly. aud, when the
siege begins, there will be terrific strug-
gle.
Smoke and flames from the Norfolk fire
are still visible.
There was a flag Of truce to-day. but the
Agent OF the Associated Press was not al
lowed to see any papers.

Republican E1ol,Ishness.

OF all the documents and letters pre-
pared by the godfather of Republicanism,
William II. Seward, Secretary of State,
that copied in our paper last week is the
most absurd and foolish Addressed as it
was to one Of the best men and parest pa
triOts the country ever produced, it is of
the most insulting character. And right
glad are we that ex President Pierce re-
piled to it in the manner he did. iIr.
Seward has performed many unaccouutable
and nuwarrantable acts of late, but this
effort to arraign an x-president for dis
loyalty, without the shadow of ground for
suspicion, is the most wanton.
Ii MIR. Seward and his style of patriots
would pay more attention to the real enc
mics Of the Union, instead of hunting
down its best friends, the country would be
the better OF. His attempt 20 agraiga ex-

Tbe shin canal.

Until the introduction and adoption Ofthe
Presidents plan for buying and freeing the
negroes, we had strong hope that the Cow
eminent would construct the much needed
ship canal, connecting the lakes with the
Mississippi. Now, however; we have little
faith in the success of the project at present.
All the money will be required to pas for
the negroes. and to meet the current ex-
penses of the war. There will not be one
cent for any other purpose. Hundreds Of
thousands viii be required to buy the cd
negroes of the District of Columbia, under
the recent law fJr their emancipation.
Therefore the people of the West may
give up the idea Of a ship canal, so long &c
the negrophobia RACES in Washington.
Congress is going to free the niggeTs
all hazards. constitutional or unconstitjlu-
tional, and bankrupt the treasury aud
impoverish the people by taxation to accom-
plish the design. Freedom to the negroes
Is what is aimed ut by our rulers, and the
Union aud the ship canal will be sacrificed
to bring it about.

IoIatnne,d Light Artillery

All accounts from the battle of Pittsburg,
represent the Plainfeld Light Artillery,
under command Of Capt. Z. McAllister, as
performing most effective service. The
battery throughout the desperate engage
ment was manned with herOism and skill,
and did terrible execution in the ranks of
the enemy. THIS battery also performed
wonders at the battle Of Fort Donelsou,
and the officers aud mon acquitted them
selves as true heroes and skiIlful artillcr-
i,ts there, as they have on all other occa-
sions.
Capt. McAIl;ster has proved himself
brave and able officer, and is entitled to
great credit for the imperishaLle honors
won by the PIaiufeld Light ARTILLERY.

The last Tue Democrat contains the fol
low ing sianderous fa!sehood in regard 70
the citizens Of Joliet:
''ButtwO companies were organized in this
cjty-the strongest Democratic city in the
State-and it Is an undeniablo fact that
but small number Of the men composing
them were residents here, aud that the Re-
Publlcans furnished much the largest pro-
portion Of tho5 who were"
Our citizens, upon whom the editor Of
the True Democrat depends for his bread
and butter, will feel highly complimented
by his statements in regard 10 their patriot
ism.
1t is not true that Jaliet has furnished
but two companies" for the war. Six
full companies were enlisted here, to>wit:
CsptS. Dartles0n's, Uiliebrant's, Growers,
DanfoI;h's, heith's and Felter's And be-
sides there were numerous enlistments
made here for other companies. We have
not the least doubt that Joliet has done
as much in proportion to its population in
the way Of furnishing men for this war as
any other city in the State; and in regard
to the assertion that the "Republicans
furnished the largest proportion" of those
who enlisted, we deny it, and call on the
editor to publish list Of the Joliet volun-
teers that his readers may see how far he
has wandered from the truth.
The next time the editor attempts to
throw diseredit urcn Joliet and its inhabi>
tants, let him invent falsehoods that can
not be so easily refu;ed and exposed.

THE EEBEL DEAD At PiTTsBURG.-It IS
estimated that the rebel loss at Pittsburg
was much greater than ours. The mostre
liable accounts estimate it at five thousand.
Ga Wednesday after the battle, Gen. Beau
regard sent letter to Gen. Grant, by a
flag of truce, asking the privilege of visit
ing the battlefield, to bury his dead. Gen.
Gran: declined the request, saying that the
