SLAVERY n TmH DIsTRICT.

SLAVERY II 1AH DISTRICT.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. CLARK offered .
substitute for the bill to abolish slavery IN
this District, reported By Mr. AoRRnI, from
the District Committee.
Some of the additional provisions In the
substitute proposed BY NJ. CLARK, seem 70 be
valuable.
It allows no compsnsatioa for slavs children
under the ase Of Eve years, whom II turns over
70 the guardisnship Of their parents, next Of
kin, OF The municipal authority.
In respect 10 slaves Of sixty years Of sge and
upwards, II provides that their value shall be
paid to the municipal authorities for the sup
port Of such slavss. This d, We suppose, upon
tho principle hat all which slaves can earn
after hat age, or, In other words, The value Of
their services, 10 not more than sufhcient to
provide for their maintesance to the end Of
their lives, aa obligation now resting upon
their owners, and the performance Of which
cannot be practically secured In any other
way, II slavery 10 abolished.
Instead OF providing special commislon to
sppraise the value Of The slaves 10 be liberated,
1t dsvolves that duty upon IN existing tribu
nal, the Court Of Claims.
One Of ii provisions has bearing beyond
this District, being, In fact, . modification Of
the fugitive slave law, wherever applicable
This modification 10, in substance, that no per
son alleged to be Q fugitive slave, shall be 70
strained Of his liberty, except after legal pro
ceedings founded upon the oath Of the claimant
and which oath shall include an averment tina
the claimant has not been concerned in re-
belliou, either BY bearing srms, or BY aiding
and abetting. This will, In the first place, con
fine the remedies Of the fugitive slave law Il
loyal citzens, and, in the second place, vii
put an end 10 the detestable practice Of arrest
ing men upon the presumption that they or
slaves. merely becsuee they are not white
Before an arrest can be made, somebody mus

arrested, verifying that claim by oath, enc
pursfng himself, by express denial, from tha
presumption Of dlsloyalty which attaches I,
slsveholders, after rebellion in which nine
teen-twentieths Of that class of persons hav,
been concerned.
Hr. NoRaILL's bill Is assigned for next Wed
nedsy, and II IL understood that the Senate
will continue its confederation, until II d mo
tured and passed. The amendments proposed
BY Mr.. CLAak, and those which will doubtless
be propoeed BY Others, will Of course consume
come time, but we can wait patiently II ths
measure will be thereby further perfected, and
more especially q lie nnsl adoption BY Con
gress is now regarded as quite certain. Tn,
day Of in pasags Is looked forward to, viii
great hopes, by the mass Of the cits.ns Of thi,
District.

The Union Sentiment.

It would be difficult to over-estimate the
value / the intelligence brought by the
commanders of the United States gunboats
which Penetrated the interior OF the South
as far as Florence, in the State of Alabama.
These officers, in their reports, made under
the sanction of their names, and having
therefore every appearance of entire aus
thenticity, announce that they were every
where received not only with a civil wei.
come, but with outbursts of joy. And
this loyalty was shown not in word only,
but in deeds of the most expressive kind.
Men rendered their lives and services to
the Government that had stretched forth
its strong arm to release them from thral-
dom to which they had submitted only
from necessity; for, if any additional evil
dence were needed in confirmation of these
gratifying statements, it is enough to point
to the large number OF volunteers from this
region who embarked on the gunboats to
enter the service of the National Govern
ment.
The moral and political import of these
demonstrations in favor of the Union needs
no exposition to enforce its significance. 1t
is well said by the New York Commercial
Aduertiser that "such q revelation of the
real feelings of the masses of the people in
two of the revolted States is worth many
victories at the mouth of cannon and at the
point of the sword, nobly and CALAMITY as
those have been won. And that they will
be followed by others, who can doubt
Such revelation, too, confirms the best
motives of the Federal Government and
the loyal States for carrying the war on
vigorously to successful ISSUE"

The Good News.

We have the most favorable news from
all quarters this morning, but nothing
that will give more satisfaction than the
signs of returning loyalty in Tennessee
State that was put in rebellious position
against the wishes of two.thirds of its in>
babitants. fF---- rt.f q w NJ
We have nothing but good tidings of
military movements. General Price, after
having been reinforced by Gen. McCul-
loch, was overtaken by General Curtis,
and after short engagement, again put to
fight.
The rebels acknowledge that our forces
are making sure progress against Savan.
nah, and that the city, and Charleston also
will soon fall.
Our forces have occupied GAINESVILLE,
Tennessee, and Nashville is within their
grasp.
General Burnside has been reinforced, so
that he has in his command, force of forty
thousand men. -...r. ...
The symptoms OF the breaking up of the
wicked rebellion, are accumulating on every
hand, and if there is wisdom in our nat ional
councils, as we'll as valor in the field, an.

sidered merely as a test Of personal popu.

though the claims of the sons of Minnesota,
upon her gratitude, were to be totally ig.

we cannot view it in more favorable
light-the conviction is quite general, and
it seems to amount to almost unanimity,
that those who are fighting for the glory

nerative task to perform. assure you it
is disheartening. 1t is worse than defeat |;
the effects of which are as fleeing as the
thunder storm, which, while it lasts, threat

away, and the return of genial sunshine as
quickly restores nature to it's wonted as
pect of cheerfulness and promise.
The enclosed One Hundred Dollars we
beg you to accept, for the very good reason
expressed in the resolution. Minnesota,
through her representatives, has declined to
aid her wounded soldiers, even when such
course does not require an additional item
of expense. Evidently she prefers to re.
ward political hucksters and gamblers, and
allow her brave defenders, in their misfor.

efforts for livelihood. The purse we here
with present you is not large, yet for this
Minnesota is indirectly responsible. You

BIecktnridge Defines His Position.

That notorious traitor, John 9. Breck
inridge, late Vice President OF the United
States, is candidate Tor seat in the Con.
federate Congress. He has published an
address to the people of Kentucky, an
nouucing his candidacy, in which he 'de-
fines bis position" thus:
am utterly opposed to reconstruction of
the old government, or any measure which in
the remOtest degree tends in that direction.
For one, shall never consent that peace shall
be made until the very last of all the enemies
of our liberties shall be driven, not only from
our hallowed soil, but from every foot of ter
ritory which, by it's geographical position, ma.
turally belongs to the South.
