report that the Government here has inter-

entirely WITHIN the control of General Terry,
who is a man of safe Judgment, and being on
the ground knows best what to do in the pre-
misses. He is authorized to act prudently in the
event of any unnecessary or illegal disturbance
OF the peace on either side.n
Important Protective BIZ.
An important bill, defining the rights of ma

second section of the fourth article of the Con
stitution, and furnishing their violation as a
crime, has been prepared by the Hon. Samuel
Shellabargcr, of Ohio, and will, il leave is OBJ
tanned, be introduced into Congress tomorrow.
The bill is designed to throw the protection of
the nation over the loyal men of the South from
other States who are now being driven from
that section. No law executing that clause in
the Constitution has ever been passed, because
no overwhelming necessity for it was felt before
the war.
