EMANCIPATION. Gen. Hunter, now at Port Royal, south Carolina, has begun to issue free papers to the negroes, entitled, under the Act of Congress, to their freedom, by virtue of compulsory services rendered to the rebels. This is the first act of emancipation of the general government upon the soil of South Carolina; the order is confined to those in rebellion against the Government, and not an indiscriminate edict against loyal as well as rebel slaveholders. One of these freed negroes, has arrived in New York, and many others will doubtless speedily follow. What is to become of them after they do reach the soil of freedom is a ques tion which- our Abolition' pl, ilant h +ph ists should commence considering. What pro vision are these patriots making to re ceive these newly created freemen ? We do not hear of auy. In Philadelphia and New To?;irsevertil of them have arrived, and their Condition is most lament able they are already forgotten. The Oa:retie, yesterday, alluding to the fact of the arrival of one of these South Carolina negroes in New York. gives us the following information: "In Me Union, hereafter, there will be nopriailaged classes; no imperious master, no groom( velcuse, no lordly aristocrat. no cringing ( poor white trade.'

They will want to know what was the need of putting out such lavish and unjustifiable contracts—contracts at such enormous and extravagant rates that the owners of them are willing to discount what is ''estimated at $1,800,000 on a single contract, and then save two and a half per cent. commis sion. , They will ask the question, and the Committee of which I am an humble mem- ' ber, which has struggled all this time, - while the gentleman from Pennsylvania, impelled by the necessities of the Govern- ment, has been racking his ingenuity to contrive how to reach the last farthing that can be reached to replenish the Trea sury—this Committee which has been placing their feeble efforts between the plunderers and the Treasury-4re willing to abide that time.

Nor is any provision made for the larger permanent navy that we shall hereafter keep afloat. The ordinary permanent expenses of this government, in times of peace. cannot possibly be less hereafter than 3150,000,000 per annum, independent of the interest on the public debt. With the revenue now proposed by Congress there would be a deficiency next year of the whole amount of interest on the public debt—some 570,000,000. Ofeourse, if the present state of war is to continue into next year it is plain that we shall he running behindhand at a frightful rate; at a rate that must speedily prove ruinous to the public credit, and consequently to the the national dignity and strength. The very least that Congress can do, if it would not shrink from its duty, is to provide a permanent revenue of at least $200,000,000 from internal taxation, and a tariff of cus toms to yield 576,000,000 more." The Evening Post is moderate in its basis of calculation; we have nearer seven hun dred thousand, than five hundred thousand men in the field; and consequently our in debtedness, on the first of July will be nearer twelve hundred millions, than eight hundred millions, as the Post es timates. Besides it has not taken into its calculation the iunnense losses--one-third at least of the whole—occasioned by infa mous contracts. In the meantime Congress is fining on, as it the natbin were not threatened with financini distress and embarrassment. . COMMITTEE ON CONTRAcTs.. Mr. Dawes' Speech.

The Republlesatirairlky. gentleman must reiwember that in List rear of a Republican Adminiatea which came into power apes prefes• . of reform and retrenchment, there is itahle evidence abroad in -the land somebody has plundered the public _reentry well nigh in that eine° year as much as the entire current yearly expenses of the Governnient daring the administra tion which the people hurled from power because of its corruption. While it may be shown that this Repub lican party is not altogether responsible for plundering and profligacy, yet they cannot hold themselves guiltless before the country if they shrink from every ef fort, if they fail to sustain the hands and quicken the zeal of the men, who have put their strength and their life for the past six months to the work; even although they have made a mistake—as doubtless they have many in this late book; even although injustice to an individual maybe, as probably it has been, committed in some instance; a committee which has been de voting itself by day to this work, and rid ing by night upon the cars, finding, that while they are busy at work, that arrows are sent after them from behind to under mine the confidence of the country in them. I say that this Republican party, to which I am as devoted as my friend, cannot hold itself guiltless. I hope the gentleman will take these words kindly from one whose political life, humble and unimportant as it is, is bound up in the principles of that party. He has all to sacrifice for those principles, but he is irreconcilably hostile, here and every where,to the thieving, the stealing and the plundering that characterizes the present time. Sir, I doubt not that Alexander Cummings and those other men have lost confidence in this Committee ; and that in their opinion there is wonderful unanimity among all the public plunderers and their defenders throughout the coun try. I hope it is so. I should feel a dis trust of the Committee if I found that its course was agreeable to these men.

On Sunday he strutted down the aisle, and into the pulpit, looking for all the world like a turkey gobbler in pair ing season. He stood up and drawled out his text: "Curse—ye—Meroz. Curse—ye — bitterly—saith—the—Lord." And then began to rant against white-livered cow ards. Just then a man entered the church, his eyes looking wildly from their sockets, and panted out—" Fort Donelson's taken and the gunboats are close to Nashville!" Poor Armageddon jumped back as if he had swallowed a serpent.

He dashed down street, and then vanished like the devil in a cloud of dust, and we believe that that was the last ever heard of poor Meroz-Arma geddon Baldwin. The parson attempted to preach on Cowardice and certainly for once felt his subject. He furnished his hearers with an astonishing illustration of his text. He always was a little flighty, but in his last sermon he was flightier than ever. His theme evidently run away with him! NM. Peculiar family traits may be traced through *many generations. The Claudian family, of Rome, is a conspicu ous instance, which for many - centuries was the most haughty and aristocratic of the Patricians, and finally became the ty rants of Rome. From Appiva Claudius, the Decamvir, to the monster Caligula, the same imperious temper seemed to per vade the race, or at all events to be often reproduced in individual members of the fitmily. The Cates were, during several generations, equally remarkable for se verity of rectitude, from Cato the Censor to his great-grandson of the same name, who killed himself at Utica, and Marcus Brutus,- the nephew of the latter. The Guises of France were, during at least three generations, alike in their imposing stature,. seductive manners and factious disposition. The New Orleans News. A lettei from New York says : There is a heartfelt rejoicing over the capture of New Orleans pervading all class es of the community, . such as has never marked any of the other heretofore great achievenients of war, and in this rejoicing personal feeling, as well as the natural im pulses of patriotism, has much to do.-- There are thousands of our people here who are connected with the 4reat city of the Southwest by the closest ties of social and business relationship, and who feel now that, with the restoration of the Federal au thority there, communication with them will be once more restored. There must be many loyal hearts in the Crescent City that leap for joy as they saw the old flag once more unfurled—the joy, as it were, of emerging from a long dark, dismal eclipse into the effulgence of a noon day sun. When mail communication is once restored, thee men will have tales to tell, it is believed, rivaling the Reign -of Terror scenes of the French Renolution.— Meanwhile, as I have said, we here are all jubilant over the news, and in honor of the great event, the Star-Spangled Banner is floating from the roofs of all the public buildings and from the masts of many of the ships in port.

April —The Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War have :nude a report in regard to the bar barous treatment. by the rebels, at Man asas, of the remains of the officers and soldie r s of the r nited States Army killed lin the battle there. They examined a number of witnesses, whose testimony is ' sulnnitted. The facts disclosed are of a repulsive, 4ocking and painful character. The eormaittee in conclusion say, the mem bers of your committee might content themselves by leaving this testimony to the Senate and people without a word of comment, but when the enemies of a just and generous government are attempting to excite the sympathies of disloyal men ini our own country, and to solicit the aid of foreign governments by the grossest misrepresentations of the war and of the conduct of the officers and soldiers of the republic, this• the most startling evidence of their insincerity and inhumanity, de serves some notice at our hands. History will be examined in vain for a parallel to this rebellion against a good govern ment, king prepared for by ambitious men who were made doubly confident of suc cess by the aid and counsel of former ad ministrations, and by the belief that their plans were unobserved by a magnanimous people. They precipitated the war at a moment when the general administration had just been changed, under circumstan ee; of astounding perfidy, without a 'single reasonable shade of complaint, and in the 111( . e of repeated manifestations of moder ation and peace on the part of the Presi dent and his friends, they took up arms and declared they never would surrender until their rebellion had been recognized, or the institutions established by our fathers had been destroyed. The people of the loyal States, at last convinced that they could preserve their liberties only by an appeal to the God of battles, rushed to the standard of the Re public in response to the call of the Chiet Magistrate. Every step of this monstrous treason has been marked by violence and crime. No transgression has teen too great and no wrong, too startling for its leaders. They disregarded the sanctity of the oaths they had taken to support the Constitution ; they repudiated all their obligations to the people of the Free States; they deceived and betrayed their own fellow citizens, and crowded their armies with forced levies. They drove from their midst all who would not yield to their despotism, or filled their prisons with men who would not enlist under their flag; they have now crowned the rebellion by the perpetration of deeds scarcely known even to savage warfare. Tie in vestigations of your Committee have es tablished this fact beyond controversy. The witnesses called before us were men of undoubted veracity and character : some of the men occupy high positions in the army, and others high positions in civil life—different in political sentiments and their evidence presents a remarkable con currence of opinion and judgment. Our fellow countrymen heretofore sufficiently impressed by the generosity and forbear ance of 'the Government of the United States, and by the barbarous character of the crusade against it, will be shock ed by the statements of these unim peached and unimpeachable witnesses,and foreigners, must with one accord, however they have hesitated heretofore, consign to lasting odium the authors of crime which in all their details exceed the most excess. es of the Sepoys of India, More Surgeors and Nurses for Ptittsburg.

Ilia was rejected. Yeas 53; against 71. - The resolution as originally reported was adopted. Yeas 120; nays 28. Mr. Colfax's resolution was adopted, 90 against 41, as follows : Resolved That the course adopted by the Naval I nvestigating Committee of '59, of communicating to the advisers of the Government evidence apparently adverse to them, and giving them the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses against them, or to refute or explain their testi mony, is, in the opinion of this House, worthy of imitation whenever practicable by Investigating Committees appointed by order of the House of Representatives, especially when the said Committees re ceive and collect such testimony in secret session, and that it is contrary to the plainest principles of justice to condemn any citizen upon ex parte evidence taken against him by a Committee in secret, and the purport. of which has not, if practica ble, been laid before him by said Com mittee, with an opportunity to explain or refute it before their report. The following resolution was reported by the Committee and adopted : Resolved, That the practice of employ ing irresponsible parties having no offi cial connection with the Government in the performance of public duties, which may be properly performed by' regular officers of the Government, and of pur chasing by private contract supplies for the different Departments where open and fair competition might be properly invited by reasonable advertisements, for proper proposals, is injurious to the public ser vice, and meets the unqualified disapproba tion of the House. The following resolution, submitted by Holman, from the Committee, was read: Resolved, That Simon Cameron, late Secretary of War, by investing Alexander Cummings with the control of large sums of public money and authority to purchase military supplies without restriction, with out requiring from him any guarantee for the faithful performance of his duties, when the services of competent public officers were available, and by involving the Government in a vast number of con tracts with persons not legitimately engag ed in the business pertaining to the subject matter of such contracts, especially is the purchase of arms for future delivery, has adopted a policy highly injurious to public service and deserves the censure of this House. The resolution was adopted. 75 to 45. Mr. Holman's second resolution was read as follows: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy in the employment of Geo. D. Mor lan, without requiring from him any guar antee for the faithful performance of his duties in the purchase of a large' number of vessels for the public use, with a com pensation dependent on the prices paid for such vessels and receivable from the seller instead of employing responsible officers of the gouernment, has adopted a policy unauthorized by law, the destruction of public economy and public confidence and deserves the censure of this House. Res olution rejected, 45 against 72. The House in Committee on the Pa cific Railroad confined to perfecting a sub stitute which had been effected. The Committee rose and the House adjourned.
