fer the resolution to the Committee on. the Jo:G
-el:11y.
Mr. Wilsors--I cannot isousent to have this
revolution referred to the Committee on the di:t
alc-Loy. The Senator from Witeconnin tell, LB
that there ia an atnendulent to the Constitution
pending, and that he has strong hopes if will
pass tie- Molise of ltepreaentative n on Monday
next. I liatl hoped, lam w .cli, that that men an . °
would rO'h in , • Molise. 1.111 I have more doubt of
lidnew. Whether It lades o not, the. Senator
from "Wisconsin knowe, nod knowifyhoi
it erutoot arid will not lieeome o a f th e c.,,,,,u_
tution for many months, linear years at leant.
It may be three or four years, at certainly not
within the next eighteen mons 9. The (stets are
dove: The Congress of the United States, at Its
fart reunion, defided that a man who should en
list Its the army of the United States should be
,
free by the slot of the Government of the United
States. If any one doubto the constitutionality
of that low let Win tent It 'now. Sir; the wives
and children of the men we hove made free are
_lnidos slaves. We were told from army mincers •
at the last session of Congress how they were
treated In Missouri. The facts were presented
to the Senate, and they 'hocked the
sense of humanity of . every one who
heard or read what was going On there.
The wrongs that have been perpetrated on the
wives and childona of our colored soldiers In the
past year would shock the humanity and appeal.
to the justice Of the people, if told to them. Of
the lower to pass such a resolution I do not en
tertain a doubt. The most eminent lawyers of
this country have Ito said. We may have to
„pay lei- these slakes, piebald, we shall,
but an to our right to do it there
can be no question, and I think that at
Ids time we ought not to hesitate a moment.
We „read already of what Le taking place In the
repel States and what Jett Davie pmpoiles to do.
They propene to give free:loin to the slaves, and
to give them an interest In lands. They who
who commenced the rebellion for the sake of
making. Slavery eternel, are tow talking about
snaking slaves free, and they will fight the bat
tles of the rebellion.
Mr. haulsbnry followed Mr. Wilson, and in the
course of Ms remarks said : "I shall maintain
Use doctrine, when [lse 'junction shall come up
for discussion In the Sicnate, that nut only lard
yrin not the right to free the Wleen and children
of negroes who volunteer In our army, if they
ore front states where descry Is rreogniscd, but
you etamot give freedom to the negro volunteer
Mined( if lie la a slave. There le no principle
more (dearly defined than this : that If a slave be
captured from Lis lawful owner by one beillger
net, ninf he afterwards (Minn! Luck Into the pus.
smsson of tiso other belligerent, that he ru i verts
to Lis origi nal owner."
Mr. boomer said all most confess the hotimul
ty of the proposition for carrel:alibiing the feat
lies of colored persona who Intro borne arms' for
their country. All must confess the hardship of
continulog them In slavery. But the queeltlon Is
asked, witalitower has Congt&s- to eat thoTent

shall expreei my °melee. hly answer. is, that
qmtgre.sa Las precisely the same, power to en

eolered soldiers. The two , powers are

the explosion of the bulkhead, three regiment ;
of white and colored troaps were clef:Mei" for to,
special work, averaging front 120 to 140 rn-n,
who were employed daily on all average of ten
hours.
The canal is 522 feet long, and the grentrot
width of excavation is 122 feet, and the depth
is 45 feet. The width of the canal proper is Gq
I feet at the top and 45 feet at the bottom. At
high water there will he a depth of In feet.
From these filets some idea may be formed of
'tile Immensity of the work. Supposing that
the canal, In cunsequeace of tho heavy:batteries
bearing upon it, cannot be completed at present,
the stork as fur an it has been carried is so much
gained in an enterprise, which when It shalt he
completed, will always be of inealcabble Im
portance to the commercial fnterests of Rich
mond.
Tht explosion of the bulkhead of the canal, on
the Ist Inst., was witnessed by a large number of
ollicers, and a strong body of troops placed un
der arms to be ratty for emergeneled.
The Tribsm'. Army of the James special says

I "snook God and take courage.” Two years of
undonbiral stI , CSF have servedto ;rank the Asso

lA!Nolen Is made to the many ditlivities under
which- the association labored, owing to the scar
f cite of funds and the Increased want and misery
Created by the rapidly enhancing, prices of the
necessaries of life, together with the withdraw--
al, from many families, of the customary sup
port furnished by men who have entered the set
.vie' of their country. ', Many aged persons, and
widows and orphans, have been thrown upon
the thorny of the public in coneoquence of the
ravage; of war, and, as the rule requires that
er , ty vase Mlles lee invelth;atecf before ruLalstanee
is rendered, the throe:Ora hive had a vast amount
of-labor to perform. The great ohlei't is to re

EDITOR% GAZETTE: ThC southern portion of
Allegliert3 county was favored with a flying visit
from the Coun ty Superintendent of Common
Schools loot week. Mr. 'Minima came out and
visited four schools perslny, and as a matter of
course will be able to report favorable or unfa
vorable.
We are well aware that Allegheny is a hull,
county, and that it takes time to visit all her
schools, and we think It Is of but little use fur
the County Superintendent to spiaid one hour
In each school yearly In the schools in
districts. If the County Su the rata!
perintendent would..
announce publicly the time, or near the
he would visit each district, the Directors ;
then could maks their arrangements to go with
him to their different schools. .1" know of one
district where he had but one l lreetor with him,
when all would have been gad to have wont..
with him If they had known he was In the Latta-
ship. We would be glad If he would point oat
teachers' faults to themselves, and then other
districts would not be'so likely to heat at them
before those who are more littermted.

Tiravras.—To-night is the benefit of that
sterling actress, Miss Annie Eberlie, than whom'
there is no better performer on this stage. The
selection Is a judicious one and we hope to see
full house. The entertatnment will be enlivened
by numerous side-splltting novelties, •In oddities' •
to which will be presented the tluilllngoesasticat
play of Joan of Arc, or the Maid of Orleans.
Miss Eberlie has the assistance of much eoteta-
pointy talent, and cannot fall to have a good
house on this the occasion of her first benefit for
.. long time.. Thu old Drurfshottld certainly be
full on this occasion.
