The Senate passed, on Saturday the con
ference confscation bill, BY twcnty-eightto
thirteen, giving the measure the splendid
majority Of more than two-thirds. Among |
tic nays are the names Of Browning and |
Cowan. Par mobile Jratrwm' Browning
Of Illinois voting with traitors and semi
scctssionists, such ss Salisbury and Stark!
PITY that Gov. Yates, whose procla-
nation has stirred the deepest depths Of
r,atrio1ic emotion from Cairo to Chicago,
should have been so wofu1ly deceived in
bis man. It is some consolation at least
that his days are numbered. If we must
have Browning in the Senate, let such
"firc on-the-rear'' seccsh as the Chicago
Times be guilty Of him.
The bill, though in some few particulars
not Ill that could have been desired, il en-
<rsctically enforced, will enable the govern
mcut to nut down the rebellion. The first
part Of it defines the punishment against
the crime of treason, and appears to be in
tended for any future as well as for the pres:
entrcbrllion. Such a law should have been
placcd on the statutes Of the nation half q
century ago; but such was the devotion
t11cu Of the States to the Union that
the necessity for it was never thought Of
The power placed in the hands Of the
President to put down the rebellion, is com

his disposal the entire loyal strength Of the
republic, without reference to tue color oi
the skin that covers it; it strikes at the Vi,
tails Of the rebellion, by severing the thcws
and sincws that sustain it; and it seize:
and confscates the property Of the traitors
thus saving millions upon millions to tht
rockets Of loyalmen. Now let Mr. Lincoln
issue Ills proclamation scizlng the propert,
and freeing the slaves Of the rebels, aud,

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

a N~AA6AA~AH 1AAs9 ~ ASAAAAA@s
a correspondent who signs himself a
"Douslas Democrat" asks us this ques-
ton;
t.H the employment Of negroes in military op-
perations, II cenascationg the property Of rehels.
If snbeisting the amy on the enemy wonld enablc
the Government to put more speedy end to
the rebellion and restore peace to the coun-
try, wish to ask why that policy has not been
long since adopteds Give NE candid answer
even it ehould hit your party and president, for
suppose you will not deny that Republican ad-
mtnlstratiou ts In power"
1t gives us great pleasure to answer our
Democratic querist's questions. It is SIM
ply and solely because the Democratic
party in the North and the protesting
Cnionists Of the Border States have stren-
uously, bitterly opposed the adoption Of
those necessary measures. They warned
the president not to employ those instru-
mentalities, at his peril. They have noti-
fed linn il he did, that they would not sus-
tain his administration. They threatened
to open q terrible " fire on the rear" if the
rebels were deprived Of their slaves or their
property. They insisted that whatever be-
came Of the Union, the divine institution
must not be disturbed, nor must the army
be allowed to quarter on the property Of the
traitors. NJ" Niger" must be "let loose y
no rebels effects must be conflscatcd. This
has been the Democratic and Border State
platform from the day Sumter was bonn
barded until the day aIcClellan's army wa!
SO nearly destroyed by the rebels.
The administration for the sake Of pre-
| serving unity and harmony among the peo
| pie, acquiesced and has conducted the wa
in accordance with the conditions lmpose'
by the democrats and BorderS1ateU Q nionists
and In the language Of the Chicago Time
"belold the result" 1t is now know
to all men, that the conservative polio
has proven an utter failure and must b
speedily abandoned or the Union is gon
forever. More radical measures must
adopted, and We rejoice that honest Demt
Gratis are arriving at this conclusion, an
are now willing to let the government en-
ploy any means permitted by the usage
Of war. When this is heartily done til
rebels will soon be made to succumb an
the Union will be saved Had the dem
Gratis concu1ed with the policy Of Il
Republicans when the war broke out, {
even after the Bull Run disaster, the rebe

The Battle at pittsburgh.

Major Mcdonald, of the Sth Missouri
Regiment, arrived at St. Louis, on last
Saturday, direct from the scene of the
fight. He confirms the death of 4. S.
johnson, and was told by a prisoner, a
lieutenant, that Bushrod johnson, who
escaped from Fort DonelSon was also kill
ed. lie thinks all reports about Beaure-
gard being wounded unreliable. An Off
Ger of the New Orleans Creole Battalion
taken prisoner, says Beauregard made a
speech Saturday before the battle, in
which he told them the result was a sure
thing and could not fail, that they would
capture Grants army, then whip Buell.,
and thus hold their railroads. If they
lost the day they might as well lay down
their arms and go home.
The story of the escape of Gen. Prentiss
is not true; the greater part of his brig
ade was taken prisoners early ri the fight
on Sunday. The gunboats did fine work,
probably saved our army from total disas-
ter on SUNDAY. The beginning of the
tight on sunday was a complete surprise.
AID many officers and soldiers being over
taken in their tents and slaughtered or
taken prisoners.
Gen. Smith was not in the fight but ~
ing sick mt Savannah, not being able to
get out of bed. Our forces on Sunday
were not over $4,000; the enemy not less
than 10000. 4 rebel QuartermaSter a
10000 rations were issued before they
left Corinth. The second days fight was
not half so desperate as the first. The
rebels soon gave way before the fresh
troops which arrived. The pursuit was
not continued far.
Major Mcdonald thinks IL killed is at
least 1000. and the wounded 1900 ;.he
says 400 or 1900 rebels wounded rebels
were left wounded on the field, and thinks
their killed amounts to 1900, besides the
wounded. We did not take more than
500 prisoners. Major Mcdonald thinks
Beauregard was not prepared to make a
stand at COrinth, and if pushed, will re-
treat to Jackson, Mississippi.
Arrivals from Ironton say Van Dorm is
at Putman's Ferry, on Current river, near
the Missouri line, with 10 or 1000 men
and awaiting reinforcements.
The Cincinnati GaZette's Pittsburg, Ten
nessee correspondent says:
The sum and substance of the battle is,
Sunday we were pushed from disaster
to disaster till welost every division camp .
we had, and were driven within half a
mile Of the Landing. where the approach
of night and the timely aid of the gum
boats and tremendous efforts of our artil-
lery and Buells approach saved us. On
Monday, after nine hours hard fighting,
we simply regained what we had lost OF
Sunday. Not a division advanced half a
mile beyond our old camps on Monday,
except Lew Wallace's. The lowest esti-
mate places our loss in killed and wound
ed at three thousand, and the prisoners
from three to four thousand. The rebel
loss in killed and wounded is probably a
thousand more. The rebels in their re-
treat left acres covered with their dead
they had carried to the rear; and
destroyed the heavy supply trains they
bad brought up.

There SCENT to be no doubt that the

Johnston was killed at the fight at Pitss-
burg Landing. 1t is said he was killed in
the forenoon of the second days fight,
during the attack on his position by our
forces, while ~endeavoring to rally his men.
Apparently fearless of danger he rode
along the entire front, waging his sword
and shouting to his dismayed officers and
frightened men; when the rout was at its
height a cannon ball struck him, crushing
IN his skull and killing him instantly
The body was found and brought to Gen.
Nelson's tent.
