Senator Trumbull's con6scation bill, intro.
duced into the Senate, is short and direct, ex.
tending to only seven sections. The first
enacts that all property belonging to those
who shall be found in arms against the
United States shall be forfeited to the same.
The second provides that every insurgent
shall forfeit all claims to the labor of per-
sons held to service, and such persons shall
be at once declared free forever. AHy one
claiming to be entitled to such service shall
not only establish his title, but also that he
has been loyal during the existing rebellion.
By the third section the President is requir-
ed to make provision fer the transportation
to any settlement in some tropical country
of such freed Africans as may be willing to
migrate, having first obtained the consent
of the government of such country. The
emlgrants are to enjoy all the rights of free
men. The fourth section makes it the duty
of the President, whenever military or other
necessity requires it, to order the seizure of
property that shall be con6scated and such
disposition of it as he may judge advisable.
The remaining sections provide tor reports
OF proceedings under such orders, with the
deposit of moneys received and arm Dis
trict Courts OF the United States with au-
thority to enforce the forfeiture and per.
form all other matters necessary to carry
out the purposes of the act.


We have already expressed our convic-
tion on tie subject of acts of confscation,
and need not here repeat those views, which
are unchanged by the proposed bill of Mr..
Trumbull. 1t possesses one good feature,
however, in its comforting on the President
power to enforce the act whenever in his
opinion necessity may require it. Such a
provision in an act strictly constitutional,
holding rod over the heads OF the guilty,
while Offering an inducement to return to
loyalty, would likely have a very wholesome
effect in bringing the war to an end.

Much curiosity has been expressed to know
more of the General under whose leadership
the late decisive victory in Kentucky was
achieved. In the early part of the campaign
be was subjected to the same abuse from the
radical press that has been showered upon
nearly all our best officers, and being ma.
tive of Virginia, his loyalty was even ques-
toned, but we suppose that, as we'll as bis
military ability is now vindicated. General
GEO. II. THOMAS enjoys the distinction of
being the successor to the rebel Gen. LEE
in the regular army. When LEE was in
our army he was Colonel of the Second
Cavalry, and Gen. THOMAS was major of the
same regiment. Both the colonel and lieu
tenant colonel resigning to enter the rebel
service, Major THOMAS became colonel of
bis regiment by regular promotion. Under
the new arrangements of the army, by
which the cavalry dragons and mounted
rifles are consolidated, the Second has now
become the Fifth Cavalry, Of which Gen.
THOMAS remains the Colonel, while he holds
the additional rank OF Brigadier Generalo Of
volunteers. A gruff, tanned bear sort of

The President Of the United States.


1t is evident to all who choose to look
beneath the transparent euphemisms of the
Washington dispatches that the recent
change in the Cabinet is the act of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The vacancy which has been
filed by the appointment of new Secretary
of War occurred because he ,oiyed that it
should occur. The creation of the vacancy
and the mode of filling it will confirm the
opinion which has been for the last ten
months slowly maturing in the public mind
that President Lincoln is the most self
could have been placed at the head of the
Government in this trying crisis. His whole
course since his Inauguration has exhibited
moral robustness combined with masculine
sense. He has none of the irascible, ex-
plosive vehemence which lay behind the de-
fant moral courage of Andrew jackson,
but not even Andrew Jackson was more self
sustained in the formation of purpose, or
more immovable in it when once adopted.


He is slow and deliberate, pondering long
and turning over an important subject many
times in his thoughts before reaching de-
cision, but the Alps or the Andes are not
more firmly planted on their basis than are
his deliberate decisions. When he once
puts down his foot, he puts it down firmly.


Without any of the impatience of weak
