, there shall be neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the Territories of the United States now existing, or which may at any time hereafter be formed or acquired by the United States, otherwise than in punishment of crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted. In this shape it passed : June 9. Yeas 28 (all Republicans); Nays 10 (all Opposition); and the House concurred June 17. in the Senate's amendment — Yeas 72; Nays 38--and the bill, being approved June 19. by the President, became henceforth and evermore the law of the land. The policy of confiscating or emancipating the slaves of those engaged in the Rebellion was very cautiously and timidly approached at the first See Vol. I., chap. XXXIV., particularly page 569-70. or extra session of this Congress. Very early in the ensuing session, it was again suggested in the Senate by Mr. Trumbull, Dec. 5, 1861. of Illinois, and in the House by Mr. Eliot, Dec. 2, 1861. of Mass. At

mainly of cavalry, from Texas, he, early in June, reoccupied Alexandria and Opelousas; moving thence rapidly down the Atchafalaya, as if making directly for New Orleans. His approach appeared to have been made known to our officers at the front only by vague rumors, often circulated on purpose to mislead; but our advanced posts were drawn back across the Atchafalaya to Brashear ; Berwick, just across the bayou, having been needlessly, therefore culpably, bombarded and ultimately burned June 19. by a Mr. Ryder, in command of our only gunboat in the bayou. There was abundance of fuss and aimless activity, but no real preparation at Brashear, whither Lt.-Col. Stickney had been recently sent over by Gen. Emory, at New Orleans, to take command: there were no intrenchments, though thousands of willing contrabands were there to dig them; no mustering and drilling of the hundreds of idle convalescents in the hospital camps, awaiting orders to rejoin their regiments; and when at length w

e--Two 11-inch smoothbore guns, one 30-pounder rifle, four 32-pounders. note — The Kearsarge used but 5 guns; the Alabama 7. The Kearsarge had 162 officers and men; the Alabama about 150. Having made all imaginable preparations in a friendly port, where he was surrounded by British as well as French sympathizers, Semmes — having first providently deposited on shore his chest of coin, his 62 captured chronometers, the relics of so many burned merchantmen-at his own chosen time, Sunday, June 19, 10 1/2 A. M. steamed out of the harbor, followed by his British friend Lancaster in his steam-yacht Deerhound, and made for the Kearsarge, which was quietly expecting but not hurrying him, seven miles outside. When still more than a mile distant, the Alabama gave tongue; firing three broadsides before the Kearsarge opened in reply. Winslow endeavored to close and board: but his cautious adversary sheered off and steamed ahead, firing rapidly and wildly; while the Kearsarge, moving pa
