The progress of Sherman through South Car
olina almost unopposd; the fall of Columbia
without the slightest resistance; the swiftness
of the enemy's movements and his apparent
outgeheraling of the Confederate commander,
have created very serious apprehensions on
the part of the public as to the military con-
dition Of that State What the purpose and
plan of Beauregard it has not been permitted

Mr. Wilson referred to certain laws

Mr.. Sherman of Ohio (Union) sympa~
thized with the objects of the bill.
Congress had the power, he said, under
the second section of the Amendment, to
make provision for the freedom of the
blacks, and there was another section of
the Constitution under which it could be
done; that section which gives to the
citizens of one State all the rights of the
citizens of the several States. The bill
before the Senate did not define the civil
rights which the negroes ought to have,
but stated them in general terms. In
his judgment Congress ought to impose
the conditions upon which the Soutbe,n
States should be received back into the
Union, and they ought to be in the form
of amendments to the constitution. Ac-
tion on the bill before the Senate ought
to be deferred until the report of the
committee Of fifteen provided for by the
concurrent resolution passed yesterday.
Dir. Salisbury, of Doleware, (Dem)
opposed the bill.
Mr.. TrumbulI, of Illinois (Union)
thought the bill was premature in the
sense stated by Mr.. Sherman.
On motion of Mr.. Howard the Sem
ate adjourned.

Dir. Stevens proposed joint resolu>
tlon to abolish the distinction of color.

have contributed to the support of the
Government and periled their lives in it's
defence. The resolution lies over.

The Rev. A. Clayton lately delivered an
address III the UniversaIist Church,
Iwentieth~street, in which he described
the condition OF the negro in the South
ern States, and the absolute necessity
thatrmea should be provided for his
moral as well a. bis physical wants. Mr..
Clayton, who i4s just returned from a
Southern mission, gave interesting details
of negro efforts at self Improvement, and
of the labors Of missionaries of the
various religious organizations, and their
fruitful results, Ee said that without
making any eztravagant claims for equali-
ty for the negro race, confessine that he

lion people calling upon us for light, there
was more earnest, honest work before US
than fell to the lot of all the missionaries
for hundred years back; and how much
greater the claim they have upon us,
children Of the same soil, and now beforo
the law entitled to all the privileges that
we ourselves enjoy. The reverend gems

been done by the missionaries South,
