THE ABOLITION QUESTION IN CONGRESS
The bill for the abolition of slavery is
still up in the Yankee House. On
Tuesday,
Mr.. Fernando Wood New York; dis
cusscd at length the want Of power and
the impolicy OF amending the Constitution
in the way proposed. In the course OF
his remarks he said he should, on fu-
ture occasion, speak upon the condition
of the country and attempt to elucidate
the following propositions:
First. A tribute to the intense spirit
of nationality which pervades all classes
at the North.
Second. Sympathies with the Northern
people, and a review Of his efforts in be-
half of their prosperity and happiness,
and his struggles to prevent our war and
it's consequent horrors.
Third A rciteration Of his belief that
the South cannot be compelled to sub
NIT to sectional Northern Government,
and that even if reduced to guerrilla
warfare, which is not probable, they can
hold the Southern country and render it
va}uclcss for at least halfa century.
Fourth. An exposition Of the Jeffer-
sonian principles of the Democracy,
which cannot be too often repeated to
the people, that they may sec how
smoothly, how tremendously, the ma
chinery of the grand fabric of the fathers
would move on if these teachings were
not ignored and forgotten.
- Fifth. That the Democracy still be-
held in the proud banner Of the Union
the symbol Of peace, and still labor for
cessation of hostilitics; determined, if
possible, to rescue the sweet spirit of
Union ere it perish amid the carnage and
vengeance of civil war.
Sixth. That if the Southern States
will return to the. Union, the Northern
States or people will, in turn, recognize,
by constitutional amendment, the soye-
reignty and independence Of the South
ern States over all questions not en-
prcssly delegated to the General Govern
mcnt.
Seventh. That thereupon the North
ern and Southern people shall pledge
themselves to hearty support of mea-
sures, peaceable or forcible, for the ac
QUESTION of Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and
the freedom Of Ireland.

AFFAIRS IN NEW YORK.


A letter from New York city, datec
the 10th, has something about matters
in that city:
In the midst Of this meteorological
misery, however, we have one comfort.
We are nearer out Of the draft than a
forced construction of Provost-Marshal.
General Fry's last order led people to
believe. Supervisor Blunt, who was sent
to Washington to sec about it, returned
this morning as smiling as basket of
chips, and he assures everybody that it
is all right. New York is tohave Justice ;
in other words, it will have to raise only
four thousand two hundred men-not
thirteen thousand, as previously sup
posed.
The Weed-Opdykc case draws to a
conclusion. The earlier part of the day
was occupied by Mr.. Field, who conclu-
ded his summing up for Mr.. Opdykc-
lie spoke Of the Mariposa claim, and
argued to show that the entire connection
Of his client with it was uniformly honest
and honorable. Judge Mason then
charged the jury, who subsequently re.
tired to deliberate on their verdict; but
this, whatever it may be, will not be
announced till the opening of the court
to morrow.
Colonel Allen, whom General Sherman
authorized to come On here and supe,in-
tend the exchange Of Northern provi-
slons for Savannah rice, has taken the
Chamber Of Commerce to task sharply
for taking it upon themselves to alter the
character of his mission. He SAYS he
has no authority to- ask the Savannah
people to accept gift; he comes merely
to effect commercial exchange. Some
foolish remarks. made by certain mem
bers Of the Chamber the other day.

INVASION BY THE INDIANS.

A telegram from Julesburg, Colorado
territory, dated the 9th instant, gives ar
account Of an Indian invasion upon
"loyal" settlers:
On Saturday morning, sixty Indians
attacked the overland mail express, about
three miles east of this place, and robbed
the mail. They also attacked mule
train close by, killing one man and
wounding another.
The troops at the military post here,
numbering fifty to eighty men, immedi-
ately started to the relief Of the white
settlers in the vicinity, and drove the
Indians to the bluffs mile back, where
the Indians were reinforced to the num-
Der Of fifteen hundred, and in turn drove
the troops back to the post. The Indians
then entered the stage station in large
numbers, and, after DESTROYING all the
furniture and breaking all the windows
in the building, set it on fire.
They also destroyed large amount Of
Geographic material A well-directed
fire of musketry from the troops at the
tort, however, soon drove them back from
the station. In the running fight on the
retreat Of our troops, thirty-five Indians
were killed, including a principal chief
Nineteen Of our soldiers and citizens
were killed.
A general massacre and destruction of
the whites was only prevented by the
perseverance and bravery of our troops,
The Indians retired in southerly direc-
ton. This was the most determined in
vaslon made by the Indians this season.
NEXT OBJECTIVE POINT-THE
STRATEGIST OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
ON HIS NEXT CAMPAIGN.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times prctends to foreshadow
what Sherman's march from Savannah
is intended to be. He says that Augusta
is the next point to be taken, and adds:
Sherman's ultimate objective is moth |
ns less than Lees army, now held tight
n Richmond by Grant. But between
MS present position and his ultimate des.
,ination lie the States of South and North
Carolina. Now, whatever in these sup
,orts the rebellion-whether scaports.
through which contraband Of war finds
'ntry from abroad; or depots of supplies,
or feeding the rebel force in Virginia; or
ailroads and rolling stock, for the trans
'ortation of men and muterieI :; or capital
owns, whose fall brings distraction, de.
aoralization and dismay to the rebellious
or negroes, which form the
Torking sinews Of the rcbellion-all lie
prey to his conquering columns. From
Lugusta he can swing down on Charles.
Oh, cutting every railroad on which it
epcnds, and enveloping it as he has
nveloped Savannah. This of itself will
e portentious blow at the rebellion.
" it will bruise the head Of the serpent
secession in it's home and Matching
lace. But it will not be all: he will
ave his heel on that naughty State
nd on the stiff necks of its rebellious
opulation, who will be humbled and
rought low. II our prisoners are still
