CoNsoLING.-The Richmond dispatch
of the I'd inst, has prayerfully considered
the "situation" and has come to the very
consolatory conclusion that at IS not the
intention of Providence that aOe should osUe
our independence to eng agency but oar
oacn erertions." We must confess that
the 'leanings of Providence" are rather
in that direction. Providence has left
the Southern mad caps to their own in
ventlons and devices.

HARRINGTON, THE Boston VENTRIL-
ooUIsT.-Of the above gentleman who is
to perform at the Town Hall on Friday
and Saturday evenings, a contemporary
relates the following -" Entering the
bar-room of hotel recently after cold
drive, he found the space about the fire
entirely occupied by people who seemed
indeisposed to move. Scarcely moment
elapsed ere scuffie, seemingly between
two men and interspersed with boisterous
language was heard in the entry, which
brought the entire company to their feet.
A dog now apparently joined in the tumult
with angry growls and vindictive bark.
In less time than it takes to relate it, all
rushed out of the room to ascertain the
trouble, but finding the entry unoccupied
by anything save two large trunks marked

principal of the public debt" 1t is, we
believe, great injustice alike to the in
telligence and the patriotism of the Amer
lean people to suppose that they are UNI
willing to submit to present taxation for
the support OF the National Government
in what il believes to be a just and nee
essary war. The voluntary loyalty with
which they have already pledged them
selves and their property TO the support oil
the present Administration, charged with
the duty of indicating the supremacy OF
the Constitution and Laws, called upon
all branches of the Federal Government
to show themselves worthy of the popular
confidence with which they have been
honored beyond all precedent, but con-
tinuance of which cannot be reasonably
expected unless the greatest degree of
economy and vigor shall mark the future
operations OF the war.
We shall not be suspected of advancing
proposition open to controversy when
we say that, as men are, an intimate con-
nexion exists between the financial policy
that may be adopted by the Government
and the progress of our military affairs.
So long as the people are not brought di-
rectly to feel the burdens of the war, we
may expect that contractors, agents, suit
lers, and even some unworthy officers OF
the army will be very we'll contented with
an indefinite prolongation of that "period
OF preparation which is pouring wealth
into their pockets at the expense of the
people. When those who pay the expens'
es are also made to know that they pay it
they will desire to render the war as SHARP
and short as it can be made in consistency
with military prudence. Let Congress
bring it home to their business and DO
SONS, and they will see that the executive
branches do their share of the duty.

The IRON Battery Naugatucis.

From The New York Journal OF Commerce.
The Government is soon to be placed in possess
sion Of q small but staunch iron gunbOat, the gift
of Mr.. Stevens contractor for the famous floating
battery at Hoboten. This craft was originally d
R canal boat and has been fitted up with screw
propeller wat ertiglt partitions, and the convent
ences for sinking her to a fitting depth, which have
been introduced in the great battery. She is in
fact designed to illustrate, on a small scale, the
the principal novelties and merits of that mammoth
concern and at a preliminary test 10 which she
was subjected some months ago, in the presence OF
a large number OF army aud navy officers and sci
entifc gentlemen she was found to work admira-
bly,. She could be entirely submerged, with the
exception of her eunwaele, IN d few minutes, and
could be quickly turned about, like a teetotum, il
her own length. Since those satisfactory e&p3u
ments Mr.. Stevens has still further strengthened
her and improved her sailing and fighting quail
ties, and is now prepared to turn her over to the
Government, free OF expense, for active service
Her name is the Nan gukucE. Her dimensions are
those of an ordinary canal boar, and she will be
sent by canal from this city to Washington. Hel
speed above water is ten knots hour, and when
submerged to the depth Of seven and half feet

If anything were needed to encourage Mr.. Lin
coin in pursuing the policy laid down in his eman
cipation message, the result of Mondays election
in the state Of Connecticut, which is a greater tr
nmph for the friends of the Union than we yester
day supposed should supply that need. HIS mes
sage is heartily approved by the great mass of the
people of Connecticut, or the candidates OF The
party by which the Government is supported
could not have received such large majorities
The Democrats in Connecticut who have sus-
tanned such an utter defeat belong to the same
class with Mr., Vallandigham and that little knot

Abolition of Slavery ia Gae District OF
Columbia.


Columbia.
The bill for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, has passed the Senate by
a triumphant vote of 30 to IA Verify the world
does move, and human liberty is making pro-
gress. Slavery in the District of Columbia, has
been one of the fouest bots on our American
institutions, in the Judgment OF the civilized
world. While in past years, orators in the
Capital of the United States, were making boast,
ful speeches on our traAscendantly free Republic,
the auetioneer hard by the temple of liberty,
was striking off to the highest bidder, men,
women and children. Slaves driven through
the streets Of the Capital of the nation, like cat
tie 20 market, has long been most disgraceful
spectacle in this Republic.
The bill as it passed the Senate provides for
compensation, not exceeding an average of $500.
for each slave. An amendment was also offered
by Senator Doolittle of this State, appropria-
ting 100000 to aid the emigration of such of
The freed persons, as may choose TO go to Lii
IBERIA, Central America or elsewhere. This
amendment was adopted. The bill also provides.
that no claimant fog compensation on account
of slaves freed, shall be entitled to receive any
thing, provided such claimant has ia any way
aided or assisted the present rebellion. This
provision will doubtless cut of the claims Of a
considerable portion of slave holders in the Dis
tries of Columbia, for many of them have been
rampant secessionists.
It's gratifying to note that every Republican
Senator present voted for the bill; the opposi-
lion vote came mostly from Senators of the po-
,tical stripe, who always stick to slavery, and
seem determined to sink or swim with that in
titution.
