SPRiNGFIELD, ILL.,, June 3.-A preamble
and resolutions were passed in the House OF
Representatives to day By vote OF forty
seven TO thirteen, after an exciting debate
the substance of which is as follows:
WHEREAS, Information has reached this
body that the order issued by Gen. Burn
side for the suppression OF the Chicago
Times; and whereas, such order is in d rect
violation OF the Constitution OF the United
States and Of this State, and destructive to
those God given principles, whose existence
ard recognition, centuries before written
Constitutions were made, has made them as
much part OF our rights as the life which
Sustans us;
Be ii re8olUed by tie House Of Representa-
tiUcS The Senate concurring therein,) That
we denounce the order which threatens an
ac. so revolutionary and despotic as contrary
to liberty, destructive Of good government
and subversve OF Constitutional national
rights, and that if carried into effect we con
slder it equivalent to The overthrow OF our
form Of government and the establishment
OF military de>pOtism in its stead
ReSol0ed That in view of the deplorable
mOuslrous consequences which must inevl-
ably flow from such action, if justified by
the general Government, we respectfully yet
firmly request the withdrawal Of the order
in question and the disavowa thereof by
those in power, as the Only course which
can be pursued 10 reassuIe our people
that the constitutional freedom so dear to
their hearts has not ceased to be. The at
teution OF the Government IS called to this
inlringment upon the popular rights and in
vasion OF the sovereignty of the State oI

OF Capt. FiaTys Go. o! the 2nd Nd Cavalry
went out some foar miles South ot this place,
Tor the purpose OF cap uring any parties in

upon being questioned stated that the noto
rious 'Bushwhacker' Stev4ns, had osen there
the night before but had gone, and on being
asked why he ran and hid, he said that the
Yankees always shot at him; when they
saw him; which proves that something was
wrong. We understand shat he died in a
few honrs after being wounded. But from
the aIemeuts Of his neighbors he was an
enemy to his country whose laws he had de
fed; therefore we think that few will mourn
his loss; but bis late will probably be warn

In smpany with Major Wm. Estep Sur
gton Of the 126th Reg't 0. V. l., we yester-
day visited the various hospitals, now under
his care and direction aud though we have
visited great number OF hospital both
East and West, yet we award the palm to
the Major; considering the fact that but two
menths since there was near two hundred
and fifty sick in the regiment, now, there
are but some twenty or thirty, and when we
seen the. cleanliness and neatness of the
wards, kitchens &c, wgweTe not surprised
for the latter will cOmplre favorably with
the kitchens OF the most tidy house keepers;
IN TACT everything denoted cheerulneSs and
when Surgeon Estep crossed the threshold

OF health, such, is the influence an attentive
physician can yield over his patient ;would
we lad more such; well! after visiting the
d fIe-ent wards, we dropped into the Majors
office, where we were shown his preparations
or field service, and we think that could our
friends at home sec the ample arrangements
with which he has by his energy supplied
himself, Tor treating the sick and wounded,
they would dispol those fears of the death Of
their friends in the army. Our space W II
not allow US to comment more fully upon
this interesting subject, but suffice it to say
that the friends Of the Gallant 10th" need
not lear but that the boys will receive all
he care and attention that they could at
home. And in conclusion we would add the
names Of Messrs Ely and Weed, The Asss
tent Surgeons who are very energetic and
