WASHINGTON, April 25.

WASHINGTON, April rs.
SENATE.--Mr. Sherman presented reso.
lutions from the Legislature OF Ohio, saying
the loyal feelings of the people Of Ohio had
been outraged by the fact that the rebel prs
oners at Camp Chase were allowed to retain
their slaves by order of Col. Moody, thus
practically establishing slavery in Ohio, and
solemnly protesting against this outrage up
on the loyalty OF the people OF Ohio. The
resolutions were accompanied by note from
Gov. Tod, saying that Col. Moody did not
permit, but that the negroes had been sent
there as prisoners, and Col. Moody was oblig-
ed to take care Of them.
Mr.. Sherman said the fact was, the negroes
were sent there, with their masters, as pris-
oners, and did serve their masters; but be
believed no blame could be attached to Col.
Moody or the Governor of Ohio for this.
Maj. Jones, the Inspector at Camp Chase,
reported all right there.
Mr.. Grimes asked If any steps had been
taken to free these negroes, as he supposed
them to be free by the act Of last summer,
being captured in the service of the enemy.
Mr.. Sherman replied that no steps had
been taken that he knew OF. The negroes,
he believes, were still there.
MIR. Wilson said he should call up the mat.
ter on Monday. He thought some action
ought to be had on the subject.
Mr.. Trumbull presented petition for the
construction Of ship canal to connect Lake
Michigan with the Mississippi river.

paragraph in reference to the resignation OIL
Gen. Pillow:
Yesterday, on the cars at Corinth, Miss,
stepped Gen. Pillow on his way home. He
was inst from Columbus, where he had re-
signed his position on account of disagree
meht between himself and Major General Polk.
This TACT we learned from the General, and
learned it with much regret; for he was the
most active General we had without any dis
paragement to any other be it said
In reference to the above the Register says
edi:orally:
1t will be seen from the above paragraph
that Brig. Gen. Pillow has resigned bis position
in the Army of the Confederate States. There
il not a soldier who would have a fearless
leader on the battle field, and chief who does
his duty without regard to personal momentary
popuarity-thcre is not one who has the IN

who will not read this announcement with pro
found regret To Gen. Pillow we are indebted
for the formidable army, for it supplies ano
ammunition, which now guards the valley o
the Mississippi. He organized has fed ane
equipped it and then he led it to victory or
