bt that the Administration is carrying on the war to crush this rebellion very efficiently, discreetly, justly, and well, and would not cripple it or control it. I am opposed to these continual and continuous efforts to direct the action of our Generals, to censure them, and to tie up their hands in carrying on the war. I do not believe that I am quite as good a General as those Generals who are in the field fighting our battles, but I doubt not I am as good a General as any of those in this House who indulge in such criticisms with regard to our officers. I am opposed to this amendment because I am anxious to keep mischievous legislation from entering here, and it by any act of mine I can contribute in any degree to prevent unnecessary excitement and mischievous legislation, I will feel that I have well discharged my duties as a representative. If the gentleman from Pennsylvania will join the conservative party as he calls it — or rather if he will adhere to the conservative policy

The negro question in the Yankee Congress.the South Carolina Contrabands." In the Yankee House of Representatives, on the 14th of May, the appropriation bill being under consideration, Mr Calvert, of Md., offered the following: "Provided that no portion of the appropriation in this bill shall be applied to keeping, supporting, or equipping negroes or fugitive slaves for service in the Army of the United States." Mr. Wickliffe offered an amendment, as follows: "Nor shall they employ or enlist in the service of the United States slaves or runaway negroes" I offer this amendment for the purpose of eliciting information with reference to a subject upon which I addressed the War Department, but received no answer. I want a disclosure made with reference to certain facts, of which I am myself perfectly satisfied. I have information, direct from Port Royal, that the slaves who have been taken mostly all desire to return to their masters, and are prohibited from

Mr. Kellogg.--They will meet every time that mischievous legislation may be presented; and I trust in God we may be as successful at we have already been in compelling those opposed to us to make a hasty retreat, under cover of the Chicago platform, from which they have so far gone astray. Mr. Stevens.--Then you had better meet immediately. [Laughter.] Mr Kellogg.--I don't hear the gentleman. He talks like a querulous old woman.--[Laughter] Mr. Phelps, (opp.,) of Mo — This is a war of white men, not of Indians and negroes, and the proposition to employ negroes to fight again it white men is worse than one to employ, to fight against white men-- the American Revolution, when a proportion was made to employ savages for purpose of putting down the rebellion of the thirteen colonies, it was denounce in the British Parliament. The slave lders, or a majority of them, were the last to give into this rebellion, but those who, from the firs

I hope, therefore that both amendments will be voted down. Mr. Fessenden, (rep.,) of Me.--I ask the gentleman from Kentucky. (Mr. Wickliffe,) what assurance he has that slaves at Port Royal, who desired to return, and were not permitted to do so, were not the slaves of rebel lenders, and wanted to return that theyeing employed in raising fortifications and other works, I suppose that is a fact. But that is no reason why the Government of the United States should act disgracefully, and in a manner opposed to the laws of humanity and Christianity. Mr. Fessenden--It is no disgrace to any man, white or black, to do what he can to kill this rebellion; neither is it wrong to employ colored men — colored soldier, if it be necessary, or if the Secretary of War considers it expedient, in order that the reb

(Mr. Wickliffe,) what assurance he has that slaves at Port Royal, who desired to return, and were not permitted to do so, were not the slaves of rebel lenders, and wanted to return that they might be used to promote this rebellion? Mr. Wickliffe--I do not know whether those eight negroes who were killed belong to rebels in arms, or to women and children; but in answer as to their being employed in raising fortifications and other works, I suppose that is a fact.
