SENATOR, sHERMAN,s SPEECH.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Sherman,
of Ohio, expressed in a manly and
straightforward way the sense of all hon
orable men on the question of emancipa-
ton. He spoke upon an amendment to
the negro enlistment bill, limiting freedom
to the wives, children and relatives OF
those coiored recruits claimed by disloyal
masters. Mr.. Sherman denied the JUS
tice of any such limitation. He said:
"The soldier who has worn our uniform
and served under our flag should not here
after labor as slave nor would 1t be tol-
erable that his mother, wife or child
should be the property of another. The
guaranty of the freedom of these was the
inevitable incident of the employment of
the slave as a soldier. If we had not the
power, or did not intend, to emancipate
those connected with him by domestic ties,
then, in the name of God and humanity,
do not employ him as soldier
He urged that the government should
take into It's service all the slaves needed ;
that it should pay loyal owners reasOna-
Bile compensation and that by carefully
prepared law the slaves in the United
States ought to be enrolled as part of the
fighting material of the country. As for
the rebels, he said, they have renounced
voluntarily the constitution, laws, conven-
tions and compromises, and have appealed
to war. As against them, we are no lon
ger restrained by the constitution. :" Let
our enemies be treated according to the
rules of war if they lose their slaves, so
much the better" The rebels claim that
all the people of the southern states owe
allegiance to them, and are therefore our
enemies but, said Mr.. Sherman, "we
deny this, and say that only those in arms,
or who have willingly contributed, direct
ly or indirectly, to the strength of the re-
bellion, are our enemies"
Finally, he wished to clothe the guaran-
ties and promises of emancipation with all
the authority of law. at devolves upon
us now to pass upon a guaranty and pledge
which honor and good faith will never
hereafter allow the nation to withdraw a
pledge which, if redeemed, will, in its log
ical consequences, in short period, make
every human being within our limits free. y
If we can grant bounties and other materi-
al rewards for military service, we can GER
tainly grant liberty. He declared himself
prepared to vote for comprehensive sys-
tenn of emancipation, with just compensa-
| ton to loyal owners.-N Y Post

The Peach Trees.

''Rural," the correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, has recently visited the
peach growing region of Southern Illinois,
and communicates to that paper the result
of his observations with reference to the
effect of the recent cold weather upon the
peach trees in that quarter. His opinion
is, that never within the history of fruit
growing in the West has there been such
widespread disaster. There are within
the district which he visited, embracing a
radius of from Is to 20 miles, about 120,-
600 peach trees. He thinks all are more
or less injured, and many of the large trees
are dead to certainty. He would not be
surprised to find most of them, of all sizes,
killed outright, while at the best they will
be two or three years in recovering the de
gree of vitality they possessed before the
disaster.

The Sunreme Court of Pennsylvania h

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
reversed its decision on the constitutional
ity of the Enrolment Act, and now affirms
what it has heretofore denied. The change
is due to the election of Judge Agnew in
place of Judge Lewis, so that the Court
now stands three infavor of the two against
the validity of the act. The order issued
by Chief Justice Woodwsrd-late Demo
cratic candidate for Governor-for pre-
liminary injunction against the Provost
Marshal, is rescinded, and the judicial
hindrances to the execution of the law are
wholly removed. Judges Strong and Reed,
who were formerly the dissenting minori-
ty, now form with Judge Agnew the ma
jority of the Court. The previons opinion
of Chief Justice Woodward was published
during the campaign, and was about the
most bitterly partisan assault on the Gov
ernment which saw the light even in that
heated contest. 1t went far to deny the
power of the Government to coerce the Sc
ceded States into obedience, arrested the
enforcement of the conscription at critl-
cal moment, and more than intimated tc
what lengths in obstructing the war its au-
thor was ready to golf elected Governor,
But Judge Woodward is not Governor, and
by the results of the same election which
destroyed his political hopes, finds himself
in a minority on the bench.
We have received part only of judge
Agnew's opinion. When the whole Il
published it will be noticed further. Mean
while, the Rebel sympathizers who clamor
ed for obedience to the previous judgemen
against the law, will have an opportunit.
to show their respect for the Judiciary BY
cheerful acquiescence in the present decis
ion in its favor.-M Y Post.

rHE VOICE or THE PEOPLE.

When the New Hampshire State Con-
vention, amid the widest enthusiasm, sig
nifed its choice of ABRAHAM LINCOLN as
the Peoples candidate for the Presidency
in 1854, it reflected faithfully the heartfelt
wishes not only of the people of New
Hampshire, but of all New England, and
New York, and the Keystone State, and
the Buckeye, and Indiana and Illinois,
and all the great and glorious Northwest ;
and the wishes, too, of ninety-nine one
hundredths of "OUR BOYS" in the army.
The truth is that no man since WASHING
TON, has had such hold upon the hearts OF
the American people, as has Lincoln to-
day. Born and bred one of the people,
one who has risen from the lowliest and
most rugged paths of life, one who has
struggled with poverty, and overcome the
obstacle of want of early educational ad-
vantages, he carried with him into the
Presidential chair the sympatHies of his
fellow-men, as perhaps no predecessor had
done, and since that hour he has steadily
won his way to their inner hearts, by the
plainness, simplicity, honesty, wisdom and
strength which have marked all he has
said and done.
Believed, trusted in, relied upon, in him
the nation has the fullest faith, and no 9TH
er one of her sons, however gifted and
worthy, could for moment be thought Of
by them as likely to fill his place. That
he will be nominated by the PEOPLE, by
acclamation, is now quite certain, and hi:
election in November next by the most
overwhelming majority ever recorded il
the annals of our Country is equally Ger
tain. The Loyal North are determined tC
have this war closed on terms alike honor
able and lasting, and they realize the fac
that in no way can this be so well secured
and ensured, as by the continuance of Mr.
LINCOLN where he is.-Freeport (M.

ATTEMPT TO RELEASE THE RICE
MOFD PRISONERS.

Mention has already been made of a Sc
cret expedition up the Peninsula in the di-
rection ofRichmond. We have to-day the
report of its object movement and result
1t seems to have been planned by Gen.
Butler with no less object than raid on
the rebel capital and the liberation of the
Union prisoners there confined. The con-
ception of the enterprise was truly grand,
and its failure will be the subject of uni
versal regret in all loyal minds-especially
since, as stated, the defeat was due to the
perfdy of one relied upon to help carry it
out.
The expedition consisted of cavalry and
infantry, under command of Brig. Gen.
Wistar, brave and skillful officer, and left
Yorktown on Saturday morning, arrived
at Bottoms Bridge, on the Chicahominy
and but 10 miles from Richmond, at half
past Sunday morning, having made the
distance of47 miles in 164 hours. Itwas
expected to surprise the rebel guard at the
Bridge and pass on to the city. The Es-
ansi'ser says the scheme was defeated be-
cause "a Yankee deserter gave information
in Richmond of the intended movement" !"
The rebels had blocked up the fords by
falling trees across them and thus so far
obstructed the way as entirely to defeat
the enterprise. The object being thus
hopeless, Gen. Wistar returned to VIII
liamsburg. On his way back, he was fol-
lowed by the enema and frequently attack
ed, but with no loss. The march of the
cavalry and infantry on this occasion was
remarkable-the former being 100 miles
in so hours, and the latter 80 miles in 56
hours. ofthe infantry, 8 regiments were
colored troops.

This number is the compliment of males be-
tween the ages of fifteen and fifty, and before
any waste and loss by the war; If we deduct
/ from it those killed and irrecoverably wounded
in the various battles of the war-wasted by
sickness and exposure-the multitudes that
have emigrated to the North, to the West Indies,
to Europe product is left much below the
ordinary estimate.
Butthis number is still to be reduced by an
other large per centage of exempts for the vari-
Gus disabilities that hinder considerable part
ofall populations from doing effective service in
the field. 1t is very liberal estimate to allow
as remaining fit for service as soldiers, three
hundred thousand, which includes the soldiers
already in the field.
There are, it is true in their armies many
from Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Kentucky and Missouri; but their numbers east
of the Mississippi cannot reach fifty thousand
men.
Assuming, then, that the Confederates can
bring into the field, when the campaign opens,
$4,000 men, and noting that the gravest ques-
ton with them, is, bow this army shall be fed
and clothed, we have some basis for estimate
of the capacity ofthe Confederacy to withstand
our efforts 10 crush it.
We have made no account of the natural in
evitable feeling among them that resistance is
hopeless; of the divisions in their councils; OF
the position of North Carolina; of the necessary
growth of the epidemical feeling of distrust;
nothing of their natural resistance to exhausting
taxation, or of the reflection that they had no
cause for rebellion nothing of the fact that slave
ry, which is the cause of the rebellion is in any
event utterly dead; that the common opinion of
the civilized world is arrayed against the insti-
tuition, and that if by any possibility they can
succeed it can only by giving up the teteTT'in1d
cd,Esd belE
Without all these, what do the figures show
of their capacity to resist the onward march of
our armiesf We entirely agree in the opinion
that we should not abate a jOt ofour preparation
for all emergencies; that our armies should be
filed up with the whole number called into the
field; but we cannot resist the conclusion
that such energy on our part will dissolve the
whole fabric of rebellion, and that this last levy
will have little to do but to bring the rebellion,
bound in chains to the capitol, and lead the fin
al triumph through its streets.-N. 7. Post.

The Justice of COnscription.

The order for new draft has again stirred
up the "Peace Democrats" The bugbear of
Couscription has again been called up to
frighten the timid and appal the ignorant The
stale argument against the draft because "COn-
scription is opposed to the principles of self
government" is once more used, and will be re-
peated Gd nGGseam. The fallacy Of this argu-
ment is well exposed by the N. 7. Post, when
it says -
1t is commonly supposed that every man who
enjoys the protection of society is boundt to con-
tribute to its support and welfare; and that if
he viii not do SO willingly, or of his own accord
he must be made to do so. A sound and equit-
able administration of justice is an indispensa-
BILE of orderly social existence, and to promote
that end every citizen is called upon to act as a
Juror. Good roads are necessary in the country
and paved streets in the city, to facilitate COM
munication every citizen is required to work
upon the roads, furnish substitute, or pay an
equivalent communication.
Public officers who execute the laws, includ-
ing Congressman, who make them must be paid
for the service; every citizen is equally bound
to contribute to that payment; his property or
his person is assessed for it. and if he refuses to
pay he is made to.
