SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF Co.
LUMBIA.---We take the following from
the condensed report of Senator Wilson's
speech, on Tuesday, on the bill to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbial
In 1901, Congress continued in force
the black code of Maryland, among the
provisions of which was that airy slave
who struck white person must have his
ears cropped. In 1886, the Corporation
of Washington enacted that every free
colored person must exhibit to the
mayor satisfactory evidence Of his title to
freedom, and give bonds far his good be-
havior That corporation also passed
another act that no meeting of colored
persons should be held after ten o'clock,
and made it the duty of the police to dis.
perse such meetings, BY another ordi.
nance they legalized traffic in slaves for
the sum of S400. This was an inLuman
traffic in the capital. re slave broke
street lamp, he was to be whipped ON
the bare back, If he injured trees or
houses, he was to be whipped-man and
woman. Were ever such degrading, in.
human laws on the statute books of any
nation? Slavery was the prolific mother
of those laws. Drive slavery from the
District and they would disappear; yet
Notwithstanding these expressions the free
negroes had increased in the District
from 400 to 1900, and have property,
churches, and schools. They have y
churches, costing $4,000, and schools,
besides helping to support schools for
white children. If any persons have
the curiosity TO look, they will find in the
record mortgage dated 1858, in favor
of Alfred Lee, coored man of this city,
for $4,000 by two United States Sena.
tors, TO secure loan for $4,000. One
of these Senators is now in the Senate,
and the other sleeps in his grave in Mich.
igan. This bill deals justly with the
master. If Congress should strike the
bonds of the slave in the District with.
out any compensation, in slight repair
of the wrongs and deeds of cruelty per.
petrated in the capital, it would stand
justified in the forum of nations. But
the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Davis)
raises his warning voice against the
measure, and says, if the negroes are
liberated, they will become criminals and
and a hindrance to society. The Sena-
or had no right to speak for the people
Of the District. The facts here proved
are just contrary. The Senator from
Kentucky also talks about the resistance
Of the South to any measure of enamel
patton, and Kentucky would become Ia
'tndae in defense of her rights. He
would tell that Senator that the day for
hreats and menaces from the champions
If slavery had passed by in the Senate
md House of representatives.. Free
nen were not cowardly enough to shrink
rom the performance of duty before dog
natic avowals of what Southern men and
women would do.

INCENTIVES TO INDUsrRY.-The
withdrawal of hosts of men for the bat
tie fields, furnishes additional reasons for
increased industry among persons yet
left upon the farms.
True-hearted men, prevented from
any good cause from encountering rebel
bayonets, will not shrink from taxation
in sustaining their country in its struggle
for national existence. The fathers,
brothers and sons Of the loyal soldiery,
will not fail to work and economize with
extra zeal in all honorable ways for sus-
tanning their kinsmen in the battlefield.
Industry and economy will be thus
more than doubly honored. Every ad
dtional days labor-every additional
dollar earned beyond our usual task
will become hallowed by the glorious
uses to which it is consecrated.
Let US begin the season with full
sense of its responsibilities. Never had
any people greater necessity for energy
in every department of public affairs and
private industry.
The cost of an unparalleled rebellion
must be sustained by extraordinary tax
alton. Let that taxation be met with all
the cheerfulness of patriotic duty. There
are few men among us who cannot, with
a little extra effort, earn and economize
more than enough to pay their extra war
tax, however large it may be.
The great farming community, which
readily furnished the mass of the volun-
teers, will prove equally ready to sup
ply their full share of the ''sinews Of
war"

From BEAUFORT, n. C,--EscAPE
OF THE STEAMER NAsHvILLE,-FoR-
TREss MONROE, March 25.-The Unit
ed States steamer Cambridge arrived
from the blockade off Beaufort, N. G..
this afternoon, which place she left Sun
day evening. The rebel steamer Nash
vile escaped from the harbor Tuesday
night, 18Th inst, having run the block
adr.
The only L. S. vessels off that place
were the Cambridge and barque Gems
box. The blockadiug vessels had news
of the capture of Newbern, and were on
the lookout for the Nashville, but they
were not numerous enough to prevent her
escape.
The Gem.bok first saw her, and i'm
mediately telegraphed to the Cambridge.
The latter followed her, and fired mum.
Der OF shots with the hope OF getting her
into fight, bur the superior speed of the
Nashville soon put her at a safe distance,
Two shots from the Cambridge are sup
posed to have struck the Nashville,
The barque Glenn, which had been
blockaded in the Halbor of Beaufort for
some time was set on fire by the rebels,
and was burning when the Cambridge
left. She is supposed to have been fit
ted out for priyateer.
The burning of this vessel was doubt
less preparatory to The evacuation of
Beaufort Fort Macon had not been
blown up at last accounts.
The barque Gemsbok, and the steam
sr State OF Georgia were left on the
station by the Cambridge.

REBEL DEsPAIR.-The following is
an extract from rebel letter found by
one of our soldiers after the capture of
Fernandina, Florida
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 26, 1862.
Dear Son i: have not much time to
write to you, for we are retreating from
Nashville. The Damned Yankees have
driven US out of our old quarters, and
they will soon drive US out of this place.
They are about 10000 strong and fight
like Devils. am afraid they will take
Stephen, for he only started yesterday.
| don't think the South can hold out
much longer, for the people are starving
to death-so are the soldiers up this way,
| think they will soon rebel against them
selves. Won't it he awful for us to have
to give up to the Damned Yankees?

CAUGHT A TARTAR.-A Texan off
Ger 10 Arkansas wrote letter, which
was found after the late Pea Ridge battle,
beginning as follows; Thank God, dear
Mary, we've got the Yankees in a trap
at last. They cannot escape us now.
We have more than twice as many men
as they, and We have plan to cut them
off, and annihilate them. Before a week
has passed, you will hear of a terrible
defeat of the Lincolnites, such an one as
will offset to some extent our mortifying
surrender at Donelson.

GEN PRICE

The annexed paragraph furnishes an example of
what Gen. Prices energy has done. A letter, dated
Cairo, Nov. 29th, published in the Cincinnati Com
naerciaL says: -.. .
The forward movements of Price in Missouri, in
dictate clearly their strategy the which far
has been so successfully carried out The strategy
is to keep the army of the Mississippi or at least
the main portion of them, actively employed in Mo.
running after Price and his subordinate Generals.
This prevents them from descending the Mississip-
pi ar d carrying the war into Africa, at the same
time giving the rebels of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, that all important military
advantage-time. They want time to fortify, to
cast cannon, to raise money, to concentrate their
forces and also to discipline them all of which they
are gaining by those diversions of Gen. Price. 1t
may be safely said that Gen. Price has done far
more for the Southwestern rebel cause than all
their other Generals combined

AN ENGL1sn OPlNIoN,-Th London Post "a Gov
eminent organ,) reviewing the message ofPresident
Davis which it highly culogises and commends,
concludes its reference to the blockade question as
follows: L., ...
" But there is another statement in our present
American intelligence which threatens to put the
blockade question in light altogether new. 1t is
announced that twenty-five vessels have set sail,
apparently from New York, heavily loaded with
stones, with the view of their being sunk at the
mouth of Southern harbor. Now. in all probabi-
lily ingress egress would be as difficult at South
ern port with hve-and-twenty sunken vessels in
front of the harbor, it was at Sebastopol where
the Russians sunk several of their ships with the
view OF preventing the entrance of English and
French vessels of war. But if the Federal Govern
ment desire by this expedient to relieve their own
ships by thus blocking Southern ports, they must
be perfectly aware that there is at once end Of
the blockade in every instance in which, their new
plan is to apply Sunken vessels viii not constitute
q blockade, let them be effective as they may
and whenever the Federal Governments shah thus
substitute supken vessels for its shipofwars then
the blockade is at once Terminated BY tae consent

" " Ho1aen,7 Esq. .
DEAR SIR:-The dull monotony of camp life
affords but little to interest YOU except in
case of an engagement and we have not ye! had
an opportunity Of. testing our mettle.
Our winter quarters are not yet finished, and the
conveniences for writing are not as could wish
neyesthelees,-4~take pleasure in redeemng the
promise made when we parted.
On yesterday morning pleasant little incident
occurred here which may interest you. There is a
Yankee boat the Express which runs daily, in full
view of US, between,oid Poin: and Newport News.
On yesterday morhing the Express had a schooner
in tow, which caught the eye Of Commodore Lynch,
as he with his litle Sea Bird lay under the guns
of our battery. NE Sea Bird darted at the Ex-
press fred two three guns and forced the Express
to letsgo the Schooner, which the little Bird
immediately seized, and spread ner wings for Nor
folk -Shewas immediately pursued by eight Yam
keew war steamers, which came near enough 10 the
little Bird to sink her; but their fire. though brisk
and heavy, vas not sufficiently accurate; the Sea
BirdFeplymg as she went but held to her prize
The Yankees passed lat considerable sistance)
Sewelis Point Battery, which fred several guns at
them, and passed up to or nearly quite opposite
Bush's Bluff between which place our regiment is
encamped, a little back in the woods After brisk
firing had been kept up for about three hours a
report came to camp the enemy were attempting to
effect landing The drum sounded an alarm, and
our regiment was soon upon the field to welcome to
our shore our neighbors from Old Point No sooner
did theEsseQ1r eoeTs flying than they turned their
attention to u.s. We could hear their shot and shell
whzzing over our heads, occasionally falling near
us-could hear and see the shells bursting. No one
was burt the nearest shell bursting about fifty
yards from Us They did not attempt to effect
landing OF come. near enough for our muskets; but
finding that they were lin danger of our battery,
Withdrew. It is said that the Yankees sustained
other damage besides the loss of the schooner but
this am inclined to doubt Quite number of the
fragments of bursted Shells and some whole ones,
were picked up on the, field in which our regiment
formed by re soldiers on last evening. /. -,
