Mr.. BINGHAM's SPEEoH.-Hon. John
A. Bingham, Of Ohio, made q capital
speech in Congress on the Bill to Emuu-
cipate the Slaves in the District of Co.
lumbia. Mr.. Bingham is fervid and
effective speaker; and on the Emancipa
ton Bill, his speech was characterized
by great eurnestnesS and eloquence.-
In the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Bingham said: -.... t..
II would have the declaration madc
here now, beneath the dome of the
Capitol, careless of all consequences
upon the future conduct of traitors in
arms against US, that no man shall ev.
er, in the coming future, as long as tho
Republic stands, here, at least, where
our power of legislation is supreme, be
deprived of his life, of his liberty, or of
his property, without due process Of
law; or that slavery or involuntary ser.
vitude shall never be tolerated here in
all the hereafter, except as punishment
for crime upon due conviction. That
is simple justicei nothing more, moth
ing less; and it does seem to me that
further argument in favor Of propO.
sition resting upon the broadcast, clear.
est principles of simple, even handed
justice is unnecessary. One year age
this day, slavery opened its batteries Of
treason upon our garrison in Fort
Sumter at Charleston; let the ami.
versary Of that crime be signalised by
the Punishment of slavery forever from
the national capital"
We would bo glad to give all of this
speech we're not the press Of important
news so great upon our columns.

THE Louisville Journal, Of the 18th,
states facts as follows:
Our Government refuses to allow such
newspapers as are openly in favor of the
rebellion to have place in its nails
This is right. Common sense approves
it. ....
But treason is cunning. 1t is fer
tile ia expedients. In the loyal States
their are managers of newspapers, who,
deeply sympathizing with tho rebellion
or cherishing a deep anxiety to make
money by ostensible sympathy with it
are wary and prudent enough not to de-
clare outright in favor of it, and at the
same time are doing whatever they dare
in the way of promoting it. They are
evidently performing the work of the
Knights of the Golden Circle. Their
aim manifestly is to commend them
selves to rebel favor and do rebel serv.
ice. They make every effort to render
the United States Government odious
distorting its acts, misrepresenting anC
maligning its motives, and publish
whatever they can find that is calculated
to encourage the rebellion aud discour
age the Union cause.
Now, in our opinion, all such news.
papers should be as much excluded from
the mails as newspapers openly advoca
ting the rebellion. What a traitor i
not allowed to do directly he should no
be allowed to do indirectly. Crooked
treason is no better than the straigh
article. let the Government fix its ey
upon all disloyal publications and stoI
the spread of its venom. The Govern
ment can and should, at time like this
decide for itself what shall and wha
shall not be carried by its mails.
Dhloyal publications, wearing thi
mask of their disloyalty, are sought ca
gerly and circulated extensively amonj
the rebels and rebel sympathisers @
Kentucky, and no doubt of othe
States. Let an extinguisher be clapp
ed upon them.

BARBARITY OF THE REBELs.-.The
Joint Committee on the Conduct of the
War, make lengthy report regarding
the treatment by rebels at Manassas Of
the remains Of officers and soldiers
killed there.
They say the facts disclosed are of
painful, repulsive, and shocking char
acter; that tho rebels have crowned
this rebellion by the preparation of
deeds scarcely known even to savage
warfare. Investigations have cstab-
lished this beyond controversy. The
witnesses called before US were men of
undoubted veracity and character; some
of them occupy high positions in the
army, and some Of them high positions
in civil life, differing in political senti.
ments. Their evidence presents re
markable coincidence Of opinion and
Judgment. Our own people and for
eign nations must, with one accord,
however they have hesitated heretofore,
consign to lasting odium the authors
Of crimes which in all their details ex-
coed the worst excesses of the Sepoys
in India. The outrages on the dead
will revive the recollsctions Of the cru
elites to which savage tribes subjected
their prisoners. They were buried in
many cases naked, with their faces
downward. They were left to decay il
the open air, their bones being carried
off as trophies, sometimes-as the truth
proves-to be used as personal adorn
ments, and one deliberately AYERS tina

have availed myself Of these facilities
to the utmost Of my power, to procure
such information as would enable me
to form a correct judgment of the pre-
mises.
I have no hesitation in declaring it
to be my settled and deliberate convic-
ton that the Ohio volunteers have been
basely slandered, and that, in truth,
not a single regiment from Ohio is just
" chargeabe with cowardice, or with
any other misconduct in that battle.
That the disasters of Sunday, April
9th, were the result of the surprise
which is justly chargeable upon the
commanding officers, and not upon the
men, on whom the responsibility is nov
sought to be thrown. Whenever the oc

The YANKEE Loss AT Fort DoNELsoN.-
When the Yankees admit so muan IS in the
following, we may safely conclude that their
loss was terrible -
Never, perhaps, on the America CONT
nent las a more bloody battle been fought.
An officer who participated, and was wounded
in the fight, says the scene beggars d~escrip-
ton. They fell in heaps, dead and wounded.
Companies were bereft of Captains and leu
tenants, and captains were almost bereft of
companies. So thickly was the battle field
strewn with the dead and wounded that he
could have traversed acres oft by taking
almost every step upon a proserate body.
The Rebels fought with desperation, their
artillerists using their pieces with the mos'
fearful effect. The four Illinois regiments
held their ground full three hours. Nearly
one third had been killed or wounded ane
yet the balance stood firm.
