he took command of the Second, he has
laborcd assiduously to bring it up to a

have not been in vain. In brigade or di-
vision drills it is never at fault, and Gen.
Mcdowell has more than once compliment

it is not behind the regular amy discipline.

A Bill is now undergoing discussion in
the Senate, providing for the confscation
of the propertv, and the liberation of the
slaves of rebels, or I" those men who are
in active rebellion against the Govern
ment. the Constitution and the laws of the
Union" The design of the bill is to pun
ish those in active rebellion, and in it
provisions are made for protecting the
rights and property of those who adhere
to their allegiance to = Government
As might be expected, this bill causes
considerable discussion, both in and out
of the Senate and offers an excellent OPP
portunity to crafty the lo1uaeious pro
pensities of manS a would-be great man.
We hope the bill may become a law
The enemies Of the observation-disclosures
who have repudiated the Constitution and
the Laws, are not entitled to the protec-
ton of the Government against which
they are waging an uniustifable war
BY their own acts they have become out
laws, and as such they should be treated.
In their peculiar property lies, in great
degree their strength and their ability to
contend against the Government they de
sire to destroy IF the ccnfscation of all
rebel property is the quickest way to put
down the rebellion, we say let it be done
mt once Let those who would destroy
the Government suffer the penalty of their
temeritv, even if it liberate the last negro
in the South, and deprive every rebel of
the last dollars worth of property, of any
kind

to invest the School Fund in State Bonds,

the result viii be to create a prejudice in
the minds of tax payers against the Re
