THE GREAT BATTLE Of the war took
place at Pittsburg Landing, small steam
boat landing on the Tennessee river, on
Sunday and Monday last. The rebels were
here represented in their greatest strength
and by their ablcst Generals, and through
the aid of Providence and our gallant army,
they have been defeated. The death of
Sidney Johnston, their ablcst General, is, of
itself, great loss. Late reports say that
our forces occupy Corinth, their stronghold,
miles from the battle ground.

Abolition of Slavery in the District of
Columbia by a vote of % Yeas TO If Mays
more than two to one. All the Yeas were
Republicans. Mr.. Cowan of Pennsylvania
did not vote. The anti-RepublicanS present
voted Nay. An important amendment
moved by Mr.. Clark of New Hampshire had
been previously adopted, providing that no
one who has aided the Rebellion shall
receive any of the compensation provided by
this bill If this is enforced, the cost of
freeing the slaves of the District will not be
great Every claimant Of compensation
must make oath that he has not aided the
rebellion, but his oath will not be conclusive.
Another amendment provides that in taking
testimony before the Commissioners whom
the bill creates, no witness shall be excluded
by reason of color. An amendment was
also adopted appropriating 100000 TO aid

WOMEN TO the eternal honor Of the
sex, be it said, in the path of duty, NO
sacrifice is with them too high, or too
dear Nothing is with them impossible
but to shrink from what love, honor, limo
cence, religion, requires. The voice ol
pleasure or of power may pass by un-
heeded, but the voice of affection never.
The chamber of the sick. the pillow of the
dying, the yigils Of the dead, the alters
Of religion, never fail to excite the sym.
pathies of women. Timid though she be-
and SO delicate that the winds of heaven
may not too roughly visit> her, yet she
fears no danger, and breads no conse-
quences. Then she displays that un-
daunted spirit which neither courts diff.
culties nor evades them. that resignation
which ut.ers neither murmnr- nor regret
aud that patience in suffering, which
seems victorious even over death itself. -
