Return of fugitive slaves by Military officers. Mr. Sumner, of Mass., said he was glad that the Senator from Iowa, in his speech, called attention to the conduct of some officers concerning fugitives. He said one General who lately made an order returning fugitives, was a native of Massachusetts, and he (Mr. Sumter) had used his influence to get him appointed. If he had known that Gen. Horker would have made such an order, he would never have tried to secure his appointment.

He referred to the number of persons taken from the State of Delaware, who were seized by military authorities and dragged away to the State of Maryland, and kept for a week or two, and then discharged, because no charge could be found against them. These men belonged to a class who are deemed to be of no account, and whose interests are not cared for. They were, unfortunately, free white persons.

the Government had been objected to because it would offend the rebels, and perhaps the men of the Border States. He was tired of all these objections. As long as slavery stands, there stands our enemy, that can never love the Government or be loyal. Destroy it, and the love for the Union and the Constitution will return, together with a feeling of shame that men could have been so perverted by the monster, slavery. A review of the Various confiscation bills proposed. Mr. Morrill (Me.) said he proposed in a few words to attempt to analyze some of the proposed measures. Some of the bills, like those of the Senators from New York and Ohio, are bills meant to effect something and to touch the rebellion, and are produced by men who mean to crush the rebellion. The other bills are a class not intended to effect anything, and are produced by men who do not mean to do anything. The bill before the Senate was calculated to strike directly at the rebellion. The bill sim

Mr. Davis, of Ky., offered a resolution declaring that the war now carried on by the United States of America should be vigorously prosecuted and continued, to compel obedience to the Constitution and laws in the limits of every territory, and by all the citizensthe resolution, providing, also, to inquire what further legislation is necessary to prevent the illegal capture and imprisonment of free white citizens of the United States. He referred to the number of persons taken from the State of Delaware, who were seized by military authorities and dragged away to the State of Maryland, and amendment read to the effect that the title to all property forfeited under the act shall vest in the persons or heirs of those who entered the service of the United States during the rebellion, and have been killed or disabled, and in the Caton men whose property has been seized and confiscated by the rebels. He said there were

rsons and the forfeiture is to be enforced by the President only in the prosecution of the war and the suppression of the rebellion, and when it is suppressed, all power under the bill is at an end. But the substitute offered by the Senator from Vermont provides for the punishment for treason of every person who has taken up arms against the Government. Then it provides that the person so convicted shall be for ever disqualified from holding office, and then superadds the penalty that the slaves of such persons shall be freed. The provisions of this substitute are much more sweeping than those of the bill reported from the Committee. The Senator from Vermont in his speech declared that we had no right to interfere with slavery, yet his bill authorizes the President arbitrarily to free every slave in the country. He then referred to the substitute offered by the Senator from Pennsylvania Mr. Cowan and contended that it was more sweeping than any other. But, the fact was t

He denied that slavery was the cause of the war. He contended at some length that in fact the free States were responsible for the war of 1862, the war of Mexico, and the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. If the free States had not brought slavery into Congress, we should not have had the present trouble. The people of New England had developed the mind to a great extent, but they were so smart and conceited as to think they can manage everybody's business, and, therefore, they were meddlers, and continually poking their noses into other people's bucket of swill. He referred to the pledges of the Republican party, and said that if they passed this bill they would array the whole Southern people against the law. He was willing that slavery should take its chances of war, and willing that slaves should be confis

n a General falls in battle, some honor mingles with the feeling of regret, but where a General fails as General Booker has failed, there is nothing but regret to be felt. He referred to the order of General Doubleday as a contrast, in which he did hero to his country. He also referred to the case of General McCook in the West, and the Provost Marshal of Louisville, as a disgrace to the army. He read an account of the oppression to which the blacks at Louisville had to submit. Mr. Davis (Ky.) asked where he got that account. Mr. Sumner replied, from a newspaper in New York. Mr. Davis said that there was no doubt of its falsity. Mr. Wilson (Mass.) said he had abundant evidence of the disgraceful treatment of fugitive slaves by portions of the army. Mr. Sumter also referred to the return of a fugitive from the camps of General Buell and the order of General Halleck excluding all fugitive from his lines. He said this order was unconstitutional as well as absu
