OHWAHD AND UPWARD AND TRUE TO THE LINE, The progress of the nation towards the high est human conceptions of freedom, is indeecri-. bahly grand. One after the other the enslaved Commonwealths cut loose from the crumbling ruin of slavery, and wheel into line with States now veteran in the warfare for universal man. The fathers of the republic—they who stood its sponsors at the christening—considered them selves privileged above ijther men. They thought that the opening year to a new and memorable era in the world’s history. 'And so it was. So was the landing of the Pilgrims the_ opening year of a new and memorable era. . But the world’s history is full of such opening years. The world of man counts its age by eras, not by years. It constructs its days of events, and not of hours ; its hours are great, thoughts. If the Revolutionary era was grand, this is more. It is sublime with the concentered light of past history. The spectacle ofj a great peo ple throwing off their chains, and then gather ing strength to strike off the bonds of others, is not one that nations are permitted to gaze upon often in the space of a human life. True, thje sky is warm with the reflection of the crim-. Boned earth ; and there is a sound of lamenta tion in all our borders ; whole States are devas tated, becauaethey were found infidel tOjthe common bond.; and men are.cast out and out lawed, because infidel to every bond which the good citizen-is bound to but out of all this seemingly cumulative evil, .the nation will emerge purified, exulted, and truly noble.’. We have only to wait—working with all our might at whatsoever our hands may-find-to do—with that patience born of unshaken faith in eternal justice It is notable that the first State to wheel into line, was the fiffit acquired slave territory under the Constitution—Louisiana. The second was Arkansas—also acquired under the Constitu tion. Tbe third is Maryland—-where the first example of perfect toleration was set. One by one they come, like returning prodigals, knock ing for admission into, tbe ranks of free and regenerated Commonwealths. The promise now is, thnt tbe seed scattered by slaves in Ma ryland, will be harvested by freemen. Little ( by little the borders of barbarism are being narrowedsdown, and the spirit of savagery com pressed. Is there a- man, regarded as a fair specimen of his kind, in the free States, >vbo dues not feel a thrill of joy at the disappear ance of that barbarous system from our bor. ders ? Is there such an one who is not heartily glad that tbe nation is about to make a grand effort to shape tbe organic law so that it shall be a body worthy of holding the soul of a re generate nation ? Louisiana, Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri— shall not these be reckoned among the bright est jewels of the coronet of liberty ? born into the heritage of true freedom in ‘the midst of convulsions, and receiving the better baptism of lliod and fire, they cannot “be reckoned chil dren by adoption, but rather by birth. The ages cannot turn back upon tbeir coarse. The spirit of the age is at war with half-hearted men and measures. We are entering into the bonds of a nobler brotherhood, into the realms of a better life. The world will not be ashamed of us atjlast. ■ EDXTOBIAL COBBESPONDEXTCE. 'Washington, April 9, 1804. During the last ten days there have been two intensely exciting debates in either branch of Congress. In the Senate, the resolution propo sing amendments to the Constitution has been exhaustively deflated and passed by a vote of 38 to 6. Four of the six negative votes were oast by Senators from slave States; and two by Senators from free States—Messrs. McDougall, of California, and Hendricks, of Indiana. On, the other hand, five of the votes in favor of the resolution were cost by Senators from slave •States—Messrs. Brown and Henderson, of Mis souri, Willey and Van Wirfkle, of West Vir ginia, and Revprdy Johnson, of Maryland.— Gov. Hicks was absent on account of sickness, or there would have been a solid vote from Ma ryland!' I ought.to have premised that the pro posed amendments look to the abolition of sla very. The resolution as it passed the Senate is' as follows: Joist Resolution proposing amendments to. the Con.-titution of the United-States, submitting to the Legislatures of the several States -a proportion to amend the Conrtiiutiun'of the United States : Re it resolced by th , .Sroo/o mid Mouse of Jtiepresen tniices in C'in’ji tm assembled, (iwo-thirda of -boih Houses concurring.) That the following artielo be [imposed to the Legislatures of tbo several Stales as au amendment to ..the Constitution of the United ‘-tales, which, when ratified by threo-luurlhs of said Legislatures, shall be valid, to all intents and purpo ses, ns a part of the said Constitution, namely : Article XIII. Section L. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment-fur crime, -whereof the parly shall have been duly con victed, shall exist within the United'Stales, or any pinfio subject to their jurisdiction! ■ ' . -i Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. This resolution was discussed. for several days, and pretty much all the venom of the op position developed. The great speech of the debate was that of Reverdy Johnson, who, when he lajs off the lawyer, has no superior in the Senate, or elsewhere. His speech was a most eloquent appeal to the Senate to do jus lic6 to the-black and the white, without partia’- ity. It is needless to say that he had .the undi vided- attention of the Senate and madu a. pro found impression. He characterised slavery as the ope stain upon our national honor, as tha crowning injustice and. monster crime of tho age. Ho spoke from observation of its baneful influence upon the destiny of Maryland as one who has been familiar with'its workings and effects from childhood. - Somnsr, Brown, Hsnderwn, Clark, and oth- THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. ers, alao mingled in the affirmative discussion. On the otherhand, Powell and Davis, of Ken tucky, Saulsbury, of Delaware, and Hendricks, of Indiana, labored valiantly against the de struction of barbarism. Powell and Saulsbury were noisy and violent —both declaring that such an amendment of the Constitution would destroy the last'vestige of liberty in this coun try. "it was noticeable that in speaking of the rebellion, both characterized it as a “ lamenta ble indiscretion" on thepartof the South. This great revolt against law and order, remember, is nothing more than a “ lamentable indiscre tion” 1 It is not a crime, not even a misde meanor—only a' “ lamentable indiscretion”— that’s the name in Copperhead lexicons. They spoke of it about as one speaks of a fastlyonug man—“ be is sowing his wild oats.” J Senator Buokalew, with his olden shrewd ness, “stepped out” of the chamber about half an hour before the final vote was taken, and did not appear to put himself on record. Of. the lot ha was the wisest. Better to dodge than to be guilty of an act which the historian will name infamous. I regard Senator Buckitlew’s action as indicative of the unsettled condition of the Copperhead mind in Pennsylvania. Now , the resolution alluded, -to, proposes— what f To amend the Constitution ? No ! To j abolish' slavery arbitrarily ? No. 1 It simplv 1 proposes to submit to the Legislatures of the several States, a proposition to so. amend the organic law as to make human bondage forever impossible in the republic. Is there any clause in the Constitution forbidding such inhibition •of slavery by amendment? Certainly not.' The Constitution expressly provides that it may be altered pr, amended, and prescribes, the manner of amendment. The question,, then, was not hampered with a doubt ns to the‘constitution ality of the resolution"; hut it ca|mo up as a question of national policy" and of Christian principle, pure and simple. Every man- who opposed it in Congress, opposed it on that ground—as a lover of the institution.' And whenever yon find a man Opposing it out of you see a man who loves slavery bet ter than freedom and justice. That is the plain statement of the case. It is thought that the resolution will pass the House by. the required two-thirds majority.— The sky lightens and the night of trouble be gins to shrink away. 1 * God grant that the year ;1864 may be among years as the season when justice found a lodgment in the high places of the land. M. U. O. Washington, April M, 18C4. Saturday, April 9th, was a great day in the House. Copperheadism seems to have pitched upon that day as a titling season to show its teeth and claws; and, thank Heaven, patriot ism stood up to the fight undismayed. Long, of Ohio, sought to earn notoriety, (which is the highest conception of fame com mon to most men of his faction,) by declaring himself in full sympathy with the Government of Jeff, Davie. He openly declared that sooner than prosecute this war, he was fur recognising the so-called “ Confederacy.” Much more of the same venomous nature be said ; aud when he sat down, Mr. Speaker Colfax called a mem ber to take the chair, while he resumed his place on the floor. He then offered a resolution casing for the expulsion of traitor Long. Upon this resolution arose one of the most exciting discussions ever witnessed in. Congress. Col fax’s speech was temperate, but bold, decided, and convincing. When ho closed, “Sunset” Cox arose and repudiated the sentiments of Long, but essayed an apology for him. Harris, of Maryland, followed, La the bitterest; most out-and-out treasonable speech ever made in the House. lie plainly declared'himself in fa vor of secession, and hoped the rebellion would succeed. I send a resume of the.debato, that it may be read and estimated by all who • please to read it. Fernando Wood then got up and said that if Mr. Long meant to say that he preferred a recognition of the' “ Confederacy” to the subjugation of the South, he. coincided with him in so much. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, moved a resolution of ceris&re, declaring Mr. Harris an unworthy member of the House. Thi§ resolution passed by a vote of 93 to 18, This, to an honorable man, would hqve been equivalent to expulsion. For when a man is declared an unworthy mem ber of a deliberative assembly, ho is outlawed as fully as if he had been kicked out of society fur some social crime. . i The question nowj seems to, be—Can a man perform, all and singular, the duties of a mem ber •of Congress, after hating been declared unfit to act as a member? I'suppnse Mf.’Har-" ris may have board of the conclusion of the ,niiin . who was pitched out of a second story window. A passer-by, seeing- the tumble, in quired what it meant.. The tumbler scratched his head a moment; “why,” said he, “ Ido’nt exactly know wliat it dues mean, hut reckon I ■war’nt wanted up there !" ' So. Mr. Harris may conclude that ha is one too many in the House, upon due reflection. But it is by no means certain that he will-so conclude. 'These Copperheads are the most tenacious of nil creatures, when they get hold of an office that .pays. It will be recollected that the Democracy rushed into rebellion when they were dispossessed of the patronage of the Government. These men can endure anything hut private life and labor for a livelihbbd.— When that trial comes; they begin to whet the dagger, and distil poisons for ' their' m WB suc cessful rivals. - - . The debate on the resolution to expel Long was put over until Monday. 1 will give the upshot of tho mattef in my next letter. " A steamer which passed Fort Pillow on Fri day evening, brings news that the fort is in ru ins, but nothing could ha seen to indicate that the enemy were there.. ■ Dispatches from Gen. Sherman confirm the stories of Rebel barbarity at Port Pillow.—r- Tbere were five negro soldiers buried alive; one,.although wounded, was compelled to assist in digging the pit, and was then thrown in and covered up. Our loss was 53 white soldiers killed and. 100 wounded, and 300 black soldiers butchered after they bad surrendered. Chal mers, the Rebel commander, told a Union offi cer that there was to be no mercy for , “ home made Yankees” or Southern Unionists. On Saturday Congress directed dn immediate in vestigation into the.whole matter. On Friday a body of Rebel cavalry made an attack on oar-pickets at Bristow Station, kill ing one man and wounding two" others of the X3ih Pennsylvania regiment. They, were dri ven off, after a few shots bad been exchanged, but carried their wounded'with them. General Grant had passed the spot in the car only a few moments before the attack, and the supposition is that the Rebels designed to make him pris oner. A dispatch from St. Louis says it is reported that on Friday afternoon the Rebels, who were 800 strong, appeared beforo Paducah, sent in another flag oi truce, and again demanded the surrender of the. fort. Col. Mitchell, with the 24th Illinois regiment and other troops, was marching out of the fort'to meet the Rebels as the steamer left, but no fighting had takea place up to that time. A Chattanooga dispatch says that a Rebel Lieutenant and 52 non-commissioned officers and privates came into our lines on Friday night. They say that Hardee’s corps has been sent away from Dalton, and it is believed has gone to Virginia. The notorious Rebel guerrilla Reynolds and his command were surprised somewhere near Knoxville; 10 were killed, and -15 others, in - eluding Reynolds, were captured. SANITARY COMMISSION. Spring Mills, Allegbanv Co., N. Y. "I March 2,1&64. J Dear “ Mrs. Dr. B. —l’m just back from fathers' and ho with me. lie thiaevening tells me you talk of starting a society to aid cither the Sanitary or Christian Commission. If I can do or say anything to get you in favor of the Christian Commission, Iwani to do it. I have seen and heard more than many of youi of the Sanitary ; and I’ve seen some good, ond very much bad. They furnish very poor )»dg ing<-(on the floor) for discharged and disabled soldiers, and when drunk, and pockets rifled; half fare tickets are furnished them, with some growls and curses oft. Also they furnish huge warehouses, wherein are stored all kinds of sanitary and cotn|thissary stores, and delicacies. They have charge of transportation of all wounded men from the battle fields to hospi tals. Furnishing lodging and food, and half fare tickets are all well minus the yroicls and curses. Now, how’do the Sanitary Commission use their goods in icearhouses ? I know that thou sands of sick and wounded hoys lay actually suffering for theae delicacies stored with the Sanitary Commission, just because of th'a.-‘Red tape” used to got them out. I KKovrthajt hun dreds of poor soldiers just up from Richmond dungeons and pest houses,- the great “ tharnel house” of Reheldnm suffered and died of scur vy, because their surgeon conld’ht-get the San itary Commission to issue till al! the thousand and one knots of Red tape were properly un tied. And I know that tuns of dried fruits, berries, preserves, jellies, and dried meats, ac tually moulded and rotted down within a stone’s throw of the poor-boys who died for want of these rotting down fruits and vegitablcs. Who are responsible for this ? The Sanitary Com mission. Why? Prisoners were just released in a dying state, and ’twaa nn urgent case and demanded expedition and not Red tape flummery. Again I charge this to the Sanitary Commis sion. - • |j How was it with the battle stained soldier bleeding for his country ? I saw .men refused passage on a “ hospital boat,” jostJbecause his pass .was not signed by all the routine of com manders, from Captain to Major General, and Assistant Provost Marshal, and Gen. Patrick, P. M. General, and finally the representatives of the Sanitary Commission, though he mn carry a. pass in the shape of an arm .off above the elbow. I know,of ,a.Captain shot, in the left leg, (flesh wound,) right leg'shattered by a rifle hall, and a canmster shot in his left band- He wu® turned off with a bayonet, beg ging for a passage, or even a resting place in the shade on the boat, hut no, the Sanitary Commission turned him away, and he died in the hot sun at Acquia Creek, wbile llooker’s guns were booming at the (Rebs. -Nest day a poor boy, minus a leg and burning with fever, bad hisj- life burned out of him on Aequia wharf, though his Captain, Colonel and Surgeon certified to his right to a pass. We are told “ they have reformed.” When did this reform begin ? After the battle of Chancellorsville 7 Do soldiers get passage now who did not last May 7 fs theie less red tape in the Sanitary Commission to-day than a year or two years ago 7 Show it, and I grant it. Do fruits and stores no longer rot by the ton in their warehouses?j 1 , There may he some things, yes, a great many I do'nt know; hut what I do know, I kqow as well as anybody else. If my memory only served me in names, I could cite.you to several sick men, who have in very many- instances bought, at war prices, of the agents and representatives of the Sani tary Commission, the very packages sent them by friends at home through the Commissioo. And they, (the Sanitary Commission,) like the house leech, still cry “ give, give’’ I! Now look at the Christian Commission, mov ing among the hardened soldiers, with tife Bi ble in one hand and n package of delicacies in the other, ministering both to the spiritual and temporal wants of qur brave boys. Who un dertook, to relievo our suffering braves on Bella Island 7 Who said, “Ifit is possible, we will forward your boxes of medicine and clothing into Richmond” 7 Was it not the Christian Commission, who have never bad a complaint raised against them by friend or foe? Who go through the army and hospitals, hearing “ the sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” preaching " peace and good will toward men,” “ binding up the broken in heapt,” and “ pouring in the oil of gladness,” os well as dressing frightful wounds, bathing fevered beads, end feeding convalescents? Another difference shonld not be overlooked. The Sanitary Commission pays all of its agents a-salary, while in the .Christian Commission all is done gratuitously, and often even to the pay ing of their own expenses. I know a' minister from Maine, who spent six monthq in eastern M. H. C. WAR NEWS, ‘ -I North Carolina, paying all of hisexpenses from Maine and back, and while there. I have a friend, H. Clay Weaver, in the employ of the Sanitary Commission, at $75 per month. With these facts, and statements before you, “ choose ye this day whom ye will serve.” If you read this to others," it may wound the feelings of some, but I can’t help it; I have told yon the truth, nothing more. You are at liberty to use this letter- as you think best, I write pro bono publico. Respectfully yours, C. L. HOYT. j THE NINTH ARMY CORPS. tthe Knoxville correspondent of; the Cincin nati . Conjnmercial pays the following compli ment to an eastern body of men, Burnside’s Ninth, Army Corps," which fa now assembling at annapolis; A few words of parting to the little remnant of the Ninth Corps. These iron men, who now march few and sparse as the travellers on the distant end of the Bridge of Mirrah, have driven home their good bayonets on sojne bat tle-field in every ' principal department of the Union but one—the Gulf. ) J When they were not fighting, they marched— marched that they might fight agars. Their reputation for both is spread throughout the entire army. To give in detail an account of the battles and marches innumerable they have made, would be to compose a respectable history, which would be premature, but no one, certainly, will failed to have heard of some field where the Ninth Corps parformed a spec imen of its superb work. Since its entry-into this Department last Fall, the singular ,uni formity of the services required of it is some what remarkable. Whenever an advance was to be made “ up the country,” through regions which might be a -little perilous, the Ninth Corps has the advance, sometimes fonr or five miles out, and qnite„ alone. When the regular time came to fall back", and the Rebel cavalry were hurrying the rear, there the Ninth Corps moat march, and protect the column. Still it was, bat natural that this should be so', since the’ Corps was very small, perfectly cemented into unity,"wieldy, and ev ery man a. veteran. Of late, though the rule seems to have been varied from in consequence of their extreme paucity. The Ninth Corps has never yet received its full meed of honor, fur the magnificent part it bore in tho defence of this place-lust Fall. It was stationed di rectly in Fort Sanders, and for some distance on either side. They received almost alone the whole head and front of the tiirce assault, when four hundred Rebels perished under the devouring sheet of fire which issued from the muskets of. these men. The other Corps did their parts well where they happened to be ’statiolhed, but no formal and organized assault was hiade upon them. The Rebels, as we learned afterward from some of those who suspected that the Ninth Corps was in Fort Sanders, and refused to attack them. They were only induced to do so by ly ing speeches of their officers, in which they de clared the fort was manned by raw recruits. When they had discovered by their ruinous trial that they were deceived, their curses, of course, were infinite,, and they protested with bitterness that they never would have attacked the fort, knowing it to ha manned by the men they found there.. The Corps leaves the De partment with the regard and best wishes of their comrades in arms. They are going East to be recruited to something near the just pro portion of a Corps. Permeated by the tradi tibns and esprit du corps of the several reg iiilenta they join, snd, inspired by the example of the veterans besides them, the new recruits to the gallant Corps will do as valiant service elsewhere as their military foster-fathers have here.
