The Presidents Special Message.

The following is the Presidents Message
on the emancipation of slavery in the
District of Columbia:
Ffloc Citizens of tie Srnatc and Of Me
House Of Representatives..
The act entitled an act for the release OF
certain persons held to service or labor
in the District of Columbia has this day
been approved and signed. ! have never
doubted the Constitutional authority OF
Congress to abolish slavery in the District,
and | have ever desired to see the Nation
al Capital freed from the institution in
some satisfactory way.
Hence there has never been, in my
mind, any question on the subject except
one of eXpediency arising in view of all
the circumstances. If there be matters
within and about this act which might
have taken the ours orscope moro sails
factory to my judgment, | do not attempt
to specify them. | am gratifed that the
true principles of compensation and colo
nization are both recognizedand practical
ly applied in this act. In the matter of
confiscation ii is provided that claims may
be presented within nine days of the pass
age of the act, but not hereafter, and
there is saving for minors, femmes, covert,
insane, Dr. absent persons. / presume
there is an omission, by mere oversight,
and | recommend that it be supplied ly
an amendatory or supplemental act.

Expected Battle at yorktown.

Yorktown. it isquite probable, is destin-
cd o to be rendered doubly ~conspicu-
Gus in American history by being the
seen of a conflict that may perchance
have as important bearing on the present
struggle, as had the memorable surrender
of CORVALLIS, i'll 1871, which terminated
the Revolutionary War. At all events a
hard and desperate battle is to be fought
there soon. Gen. Mcclellan is preparing
for a seige that shall be irresistible. The
enemy is said to be well defended, but we
do not think it possible that they will be
found equalto our strength and discipline.

From the 24th.

We have been permitted to make the
follwing extract from a letter dated the
18th, received Saturday last, from Pitts
burg Landing, written by j. II. Cowan, OF
Co. F, IL week after the great battle
lie says:
I'VE arrived at Savannah, Tenn, on
Saturday the 5th, and camped there for
the night. Sunday morning we received
orders to march, and at once started for
Pittsburg Landing, ten miles Distant
The heavy booming of cannon was heard
distinctly, and all knew that soon we
were to be engaged in deadly conflict
We arrived opposite the landing a little
before shutdown. but were obliged to wait
some time before crossing the river. When
at last we reached the battle field, we
were sent to reinforce the right wing of
our army. The rebels in front of us sec
ing u troops approaching, retired for
the night. We slept on our arms, ready
to begin the fight at any moment, and
bright and early Monday morning were
up to time"
The battle ragged with great fury
throughout the day-the 9th taking an
active part-at one time Gen. Nelson rode
up and gave us the order to charge the
dn blackguards. We fixed our bay
and advanced towards them-after
Us one volley they broke and run
like sheep"
He says the 9th lost about 100 killed
and wounded. II of Co. F, were wound
ed-2 mortally.
Major Hall was wounded in the head.
The Surgeon thinks he win recover. Capt.
Weston was not at the the battle, he with
II men having been left at Columbia,

Terrible Fight between Three Rebel
inn

An officer of u army, just returned
from Manassas, called last evening, and
gave us an Interesting account of his visit
to Manassas, and the battlefield of Buu
Run. \ farmer, residing near CentreSfiie.
told him that in January last a number of
regiments were quartered near his house:
one from Kentucky, at the expiration OF
their time of enlistment, unanimously
resolved TO return home, and accordingly
stacked their arms and were preparing for
a start, when their further progress was
arrested by the appearance of an Alabama
and Il Tennessee regiment. who were order
ed to reduce the Kentucki1ns to submits
sion, and compel them to remain. The
Kentuckians siezed their arms, and a des-
perate fight enSued, in which many were
Slain on both sides. and their bodies were
buried where they fell, their graves being
yet visible.
From this spot the mutineers retreated
n short distance, threw down their arms
and each drawing their Bowie knives, made
a desperate charge upon the two regiments
and the fight was terrific. in which more
than Il hundred were killed, and they
too, were buried on the field slaughter.
At last the brave Kentuekians were sub
dued. The battlefield was shown to our
informant by the farmer, who witnessed
the fearful contest. In traversing the field
he discovered a large Bowie knife, which.
doubtless had been used in this fearful
fray.

Southern correspondence.
LouIsvILLE, KY, April l., lSG,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April Il, 1862.
EDITORS CHRoSIcLE:-The city is quiet,
the business being mostly at the wharf
A large amount of Government stores
have been shipped to-day to Pittsburg
Landing. A boat arrived last night bring
ing more of the wounded soldiers of the
late battle. They were taken TO the hos
pitfalls. No difference of treatment being
shown to the rebel wounded, of whom
there were quite a number. One of them
shot through the lungs, preferred ending.
to mending his life, and jumped over
board, a few miles below the city, and
was drowned.
Further developments of facts, concern
ing the battle, show a very Providential
interference without which a disgracefm
defeat would have been the inevitable re
suit, compelling us to acknowledge a sec
ond Bull Run affair. The order was IS
sued and everything in readiness for the
attack to be made on Friday. But IN
consequence of the heavy rains, it wa
necessarily delayed until Sunday.
As it was, III troops were surprised
whole regiment was without cartridg
es; others had laid away their guns fo
inspection. which furnishes an excuse N
favor of the soldiers, for our loss of tic
field on Sunday. The officers are under
deserved censure for permitting such a
state of things to exist, so near the en-
my. The reinforcement of Sunday night,
which would have been of no service, had
the advance been made on Friday, placed
us on more equal footing with the enemy
in the renewal of the engagement on Mon
day. The consequence was, while We dd
not gain any decided advantage, we lost
nothing.
Gen. Mitchell occupies the position 70
the south and cast of Corinth, and has
possession of the railroads extending n
those directions, thus cutting off all con-
m~unication.
The only point now from which he
enemy can be reinforced, is from Mem
phis; and one of these positions must be
evacuated to defend the other, as in Csc
of Bowling Green and Fort Donelson-
The news of the week to come will beof
interest.
We may be secure in believing that The
e,rord ord bo,-onot have Douar fO Suhlu
physical resistance, but these will faI to
calm the enkindled passions, and turn
back alienated affections.
When the victory shall have been won,
and our armies returned home, only a
portion of the desired object will be attain
ed. Fleets and armies cannot effect a
work of love and reconciliation.

CAMP 4 MILES SoUTH WOODSTOCK, VA.
APRIL 10, 1862.
Messrs. Editors You will pardon me
for this long delay in writing, for the reas-
on that we, a division of the grand army,
have been at work forthe past two months.
If you take your map you will find that
we have performed a great deal of march
ing and when we were not thus on the
wing, We have usually been without our
tents, and of course l had no means OF
writing. We are now about II miles from
Strasburg, on the pikeleadingto Staunton.
The Rebels are within easy cannon range
of our advance, and the time IS constant
ly enlivened by the roar of artillery. Al
most every day they have a new position
for their battery, from which they send a
few shots into our camp, when u bat,
ferries get into position, and of course the
rebels retire. We are so accustomed to
this constant artillery practice, that no
one seems to mind it., but each attends
to his business as if nothing of the kind
was going on. There is no considerable
force of rebels before us, in the immedi-
ate vicinity, but only Ashby's force of COO
or 800 cavalry, with one or two regiments
of infantry, and three pieces of artillery.
Jackson's force IS probably beyond the
Shenandoah river and Mount jackson.
had intended sending you an account
of the battle of Winchester, but we have
since been pursuing them so vigorously
that l have not had time. l presume As
per has made a report to you ere this, un-
less his wound is too painful to admit of
it. Capt. \. conducted himself well dur
ing the engagement, and is deserving of
promotion. | was near by him till he
was carried off the field, he having COM
mand of the first division, and / the sec
ond.
Twice during the engagement, it SEEM
ed to me that the rebels were getting the
better of us, but at such times our men
seemed to fight the harder. The 9TH was
in such a near position to the rebels, that
with us it was victory or death.
l see most of the papers place the 9TH
on the left, wherelittle fighting was done,
but such was not the fact, we wereon the
right and led the charge. The Sth Ohio
was not on the right at any time. We
sustained that fight for nearly one hour
alone, the Sth did not come into the fight
for nearly n hour, Tor perhaps more,
after we led the charge. All we ask is
credit for what we have done. Our list of
killed and wounded shows where the reg
iment was during thefight. Our flag is al
so some proof.
Yours, GEO. L. WooD.

stand fire when the enemy came up
The enemy had the Stars and Stripes

1t, as that was one of the best Batteries in
