Mr. Rice, (opp.,) of Min., moved to add after the words "master or owner," the words "who may be a loyal citizen of the United States." Agreed to. Mr. Wilson, opposed the amendment. He was against any kind of justification of slavery. What he wanted was to prevent officers' of the army from returning slaves. Some officers have already disgraced the service in this way, and, God willing, he (Mr. Wilson), if he had the power, meant to prevent their confirmation by the Senate. Mr. Pearce said the effect of the bill without the amendment would be to invite the slaves of Maryland to come to the army, where they would be safe from the legal rights of their owners. He thought that justice demanded that the bill should be amended. In the House, Mr. Blair, (Rep.,) of Missouri, asked leave to present a memorial of one hundred and forty colored persons of California, asking that provision be made for the colonization of that class, and where color will not be a badge of degr

is, Jan. 26. --Official reports, just received from the expedition sent from Caps Girardean to Benton and Bloomfield, state that they have captured Lieut. Col. Farmer and eleven other officers and sixty-eight privates, with a quantity of arms, horses, saddles, &c. Most of the rebel officers were surprised and captured in a ball-room. Maryland Senators requested to resign. Baltimore, Jan. 26. --Resolutions were introduced into the Maryland Senate on Saturday to request Senators Pearce and Kennedy to resign, on the ground that their sentiments are in direct conflict with the settled view of the people of the State, and that it is right and proper that the State should, at this critical juncture, be represented by Senators whose hearts beat responsive to the throb of devotion to the integrity of the Union felt by the great popular heart of the State. The City Council of Baltimore have passed a resolution ordering all disloyal teachers in the public schools o

on the principles of justice and right, in this, a judicial question, he could not change, he must, if needs be, fall into that grave. The storm may one day be succeeded by the calm of reason, but whether so or not, he must follow the dictates of conscience and the light of law.

Richmond Light Guard. --We notice with pleasure that our esteemed townsman, Mr. Chas. M. Wallace, is engaged, with Lieuts. Nicholas and Pearce, in reorganizing the old "Richmond Light Guard," which, it will be remembered, served throughout the campaign in the West with Gen. Wise, and was captured, together with Capt. G. A. Wallace and 2d Lieut. J. C. Little, on Roanoke Island, after one of the hardest fought battles of the war, taking into consideration the great odds arrived against our little force there. These officers, with their experience in the field and camp, are well qualified for their positions as company officers, and we are glad to learn that the friends of Charlie Wallace are now enrolling their names in this popular corps. One feature in this organization which we approve, is the fact that they will not take substitutes, thus making it a select volunteer company. Capt. G. A. Wallace will no doubt soon be exchanged, when they will gladly welcome their old Captain

Examination postponed. --Four of the men charged with the murder, on last Friday night, on 17th street, of Patrick Kelley and William Downes, members of Read's Artillery — viz: Dick Duff alias Pearce, Dan Broderick, Frank Antonius, and Patrick O'Neal, of Baltimore, and said to-belong respectively to the Blood Tub and Plug Ugly, Club — were brought before the Mayor yesterday to answer the felony with which they stand charged. Several abandoned females, present at the enactment of the tragedy, have been very wisely looked up in jail as witnesses or defendants, as the developments to be made shall render necessary.--Bob Moore, a Baltimorean, implicated in the transaction, had not been arrested yesterday. For the purpose of getting all of the parties concerned, either as principals or witnesses, before him, the Mayor continued the case. The murder, to which we have briefly alluded heretofore, was one of the most brutal and causeless tragedies that ever disgraced this city. By it

The recent murder. --The Mayor had before him yesterday Dick Duff alias Pearce, Dan Broderick, Frank Antonio, and Patrick O'Neal, the four men charged with the murder of Patrick Kelley and Wm. Downes, of Raid's battery, on Friday night, in Butchertown. The proof against the parties was so direct that the Mayor sent them on for further trial. The female witnesses were required to appear on Thursday to answer the charge of keeping a disorderly house. One of the latter, we learn, was once a respectable young woman living in Petersburg. She fell from her position because unable to resist the blandishments of the opposite sex. The men who committed the murders richly deserve hanging, and if they are not swung up, will be cheated out of their just dues.
