SENATE.

The President pro TEN. laid be-
fore the Senate a communication
from the War Department trans
hitting official reports Of the battle
of Pittsburg Landing-1OO in num-
her. Referred to the Military
Committee.
Mr.. King presented a petition
numerously signed by volunteers
honorably discharged, asking that
the provisions in regard to bounty,
&C., be extended to them.
Mr.. Wade presented a petition
from citizens Of Ohio, asking for a
more vigorous prosecution OF the
war. r
After some dis ussion, the morn
ing hour expired, and the Confs-
cation Bill was taken up.
Mr.. Wilkinson proceeded to
speak at length in favor. of the
speedy c~onfscation Of the property
of the Rebels. He argued that
c~onfiscation was clearly among the
war powers, and that confiscation
was specially necessary under the
circumstances of this war.
He also protested against the
obnoxious doctrlne that would give
despotic power to the President
He thought there was too much
leniency toward the property OF
Rebels.
Mr.. Cowan said he was as much
in favor of Furnishing Rebels as any
one. He would only be lenient to
the Union men of the South.
Mr.. Williamson referred to the
declarations of the Union men Of
the South that unless something
was done there would be no hope
for thcm.
Mr. Cowan said he would put
down the rehellion with the whole
force of the Government, and hang
the guilty leaders as high as Ha-
man, but it is not the way to sup
press the rebellion, to pass meas.
ures obnoxious to all loyal mel
from the border States. Hardly a
day passes but measures are intro
duced by a certain school, which
are calculated to make enemies
instead of friends. q
Mr.. Sumner offered an amend.
ment to the Senate Bill, that nc
evidence shall be excluded on &C
count of color.
Rejected-ayes IA, nays Is.
Mr.. Sumner read letters from
Union men in Tennessee in favoI
Of c~onfscation and emancipation
with colonization.
Mr.. Powell said such was not tn,
opinion of one man in five thou
sand of the people of the slav'
States.
The question was then taken OF
Mr. Clark's motion to substitute
the bill of the Senate COMMITTEE
for the House bill, which wa
agreed to.
Various amendments and substl
tutes were offered and rejected
when the amendment substltutin!
, the Senate bill was concurred in b,
10 yeas to II nays, and the Con
fiscation Bill then passed-yeas 2e

counts we have from the battle
field, before tho city of Richmond,
Virginia, are, up to this hour, SO
doubtful, obscure, and conflicting
not to say confounding-that we
do not know what to believe, or
how to report. There cannot be q
doubt that a murderous conflict has
taken place before Richmond, in
which we have had no victory, but
sustained O terrible loss of life.
Whetherthe Southern army gained
any advantage over our brave
troops, does not appear. Both Az
mics fought well but we must be
permitted to doubt that we have
taken Richmond yet, or that the
thing can be done by the force
which We have now in the field
before the capital of the "Old Do
minion." One thing is plain, and
that is, that both armies are strong
enough, weak enough, and desper-
ate enough to shed each others
blood, destroy hundreds ofmillions'
worth of property, injure the civil
lized world, and leave the nation
"poor indeed"
France has failed in her efforts
to induce England to mediate be-
tween the two contending parties
in America, and we are thus left
to fight it out.
We see that the two greatest
statesmen upon earth-Lord Pal
merston and Earl Russell-have

The American people must remem
Der that, though Orleans is an
American city, one half of its
population are foreigners, and these
foreigners must be protected ; and
no General Butler, or any other
American general, will ever be
permitted to threaten foreign ladies
with IMMUNITY. The law of nations
forbids it. France and England
will never stand by and see their
own subjects, whether male or fe.
male injured, or threatened by O
General Butler, or o General Gas.

To PRESERVE PoTAToEs.-The potato
crop is too valuable this season to be lost
by rot if it can be saved. A correspond
ent of the Scientific A1@erican says ne has
tried the following plan of keeping pota-
toes for four years, and not lost bushel
in that time after they were harvested,
though they were half diseased when taken
out OF the ground:
Dust over the floor of the bia with lime
and put in about six or seven inches deep
OF potatoes, and dust with lime as before.
Put IN six or seven inches more of pota
toes, and lime as before; repeat the ope
ration till all are slowed in that way. One
bushel OF lime will do for forty bushels of
potatoes, though more will not hurt them
the lime rather improving the flavor
than otherwise.
