Orr Lesson TO the Future.

With every mail from the North we
spread open the map Of our nation,
and blot with blood on its surface the
places here and there, to tell of battles
that have been fought, ,and fields, where
the blood of a noble and forbearing
people has been shed,-that the world
may know we are a Government, and
of right free people. This is not
without anxiety; for we try to pierce
the future with our attempts at prophe-
ey,-we fix the scenes Of coming bat
tles,and study with interest the strate-
gy Of our generals; we follow the
marching columns Of an armed million
of freemen, praying that they may tri-
umph.
Never, since the revolutionary trials,
have the people displayed SO much for
titude, fidelity, and perseverance, as
these bloody hours record. Wemay suf-
fer mortifying reverses; but these only
nervous with fresher resolution to meet
the crisis which has been forced upon
us, and with confidence in the ruling
OF tie God of Battles.
On each day since the massacre OF
our citizens in Baltimore, our coun-
tr1 history has been deeper crimsoned
with tie blood Of our comrades
Homes mourn their loss,-the country
suffers. But what are these losses, and
sutferings i'll comparison with the care
Of cur sacred fresiles? 1t is a good
government onlyi that can protect
these, and We must purchase this pro-
lection by human suffering, and hu-
man life.
From the present we gather lessons
and experiences for our future govern
ment 1t will be marked by strides
Of improvement in every path Of edu-
cation and industry. Future genera
tions will learn the history Of our coun-
try from the blood which besmears
our maps. They will learn that our
privileges and freedom have been
purchased by stern resolution, and
cheerful sacrifices. They will learn
to despise trifing politicians, and will
anakei the price Of respect and honor
to be honesty and manhood.

What Banks is Doing.

Gen. Banks column is following up
the advantage gained at Winchester,
and has driven Jackson's force several
marches further down the Shenandoah
valley. On the End inst, he advanced
upon the rebels in Strasburg and shelled
them out Of it. They fell back on the
roadto W oodstock, and were vigorously
pursued to that point, a distance OF
twelve miles. The rebels contested the
march most of the way at some points
the fighting was pretty severe between
the rear guard of the rebels and the
advance guard of Banks. They were
driven through Woodstock on the
doublequick, and seven miles further,
to Edinburgh, where quite a sharp
skirmish occurred; but the place was
taken, and our troops bivouacked there
for the night, having chased the fleet
footed Virginians nineteen miles in one
day. During their retreat the rebels
set fire TO the bridges, and succeeded
in destroying several of them.

Another Step Forward.

The House of Representatives on
Monday last, initiated emancipation"
in accordance with the recommends
ton of the President, by adopting the
following resolution, by vote of 81 to
SO, introduced by Mr.. White, of Indi-
ana: - ~ -
ResolUed, That Committee of nine
members be appointed to inquire and
report at as early day as practicable
whether any plan can be proposed and
RECOMMENDED for the gradual emanci-
patton of all the African slaves and
the determination of slavery in Mary
land, Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Kentucky by the peo-
pie, or local authorities thereof, and
whether such an object be expedient
or desirable; and that they further in.
qnirc and report whether the colonial
ton of such emancipated slaves on this
continent or elsewhere is necessarily a
concomitant, of their freedom, and how
and what provision should be made
therefor, and also that they would in
qure how far and in what way the
Government can and ought equitably
to facilitate this object, and that they
be further authorized, if in their judy
ment it is expedient, to extend their in
quiries as to the other slaveholding
States, and report thereon.
1t will now be aoon known whether
|
the people of Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia. Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri think more of slavery than OF
the Union,4 and whether or not and
upon what terms they will part with
the institution that has been the curse
of the Union and the ruin of the South.

Run the Blockade.

The gunboat Carondelet performed
a brilliant achievement on Friday night
last, i'll running the gauntlet of the five
formidable batteries Of the enemy at
Island No. 10. A gunboat was badly
needed below tho Island to support
Gen. Pope, hence the pcrilous attempt.
She chose the night time for the trip,
when aided by the darkness she ran by
without receiving q single shot, al
though some So wero fred at her.
Since then heavy firing has been heard
down the river, and it is supposed the
Corondelet has engaged some of the
rebel gunboats. The floating battery
at Island No. 10. was disabled by our
fleet on Thursday.

Two Good Measure. Adopted.


Two Good Measures Adopted.
The Senate on Thursday and Friday
last adopted two important measures,
which the free and enlightened senti.
ment of the country will approve
namely: The joint resolution recon-
mended by the President in his special
message of March 9th, and which was
since; and bill for the emancipation
of all slaves in the District of Colum-
bia, by compensation. The passage of
the emancipation resolution sends it to
the President for his signature. The
vote upon the resolution stood-yeas,
80; nays, 10; Messrs. Davis, Of Ken
lucky, Willy, of Virginia, and John B.
Henderson, of Missouri, voting in the
affirmative. The following are the yeas
