It is a bill to establish an additional article of war for the government of the United States army, end reads at tullows: “All officers in the military service are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning ingilives Irorn service or labor, escaping from those who claim such servic. or labor to be due to them; and any officer found guilty by court martial ol violating this article, shall . be dismissed from the service.” In discussing the merits of the bill, those who opposed it elaimed that the measure was an effort to repeal the fugitive slave law, so far as the army is concerned, and as a denial of the States to claim ilia property of its citizens. Those who sustained the bill, claimed that it was an outrage upon our soldiers to act as negro policemen. Mr. Bingham ol Ol'.io. among other things snd, we are lighting lor the administration of justice, and for the principle that no man shall be deprived of Lis liberty without due process of law. The presumption is that Mi. Bingham, when ba said "no man,” meant no black man shall etc. While the bill was pending Mr. Crittenden asked for two minutes lime to make a few remarks, but Mr. Lovejoy objected, as according to previous agreement tiie unanimous consent of the House was nacessary (or further dWale. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 83 y eas and 42 nays, after being amended by i Mr. Bingham so as to include the navy The men who supported the bill think it a disgrace for the Union army to return the slave of a Union man that has escaped, but are willing that the army shall be the means of their release —a kind ol wholesale Luki, eti cl semitegiu thieving- __ Cci gress at the extro session endorsed the Crittenden resolution*, that this was not a war ol subjugation, or to interfere with the rights ot institutions of the States. President Lincoln in his inaugural took the same ground. Secretary Seward did also in Ins instructions to Minister Adai. s What means the rejection of these res • olutious the present session, and the introduction of bills proposing to reduce the Slates to a condition ol territorial vassalage, and other ex reme measures? Perhaps Mr. Weed did not incorrecily reflect the views of his party when before a select circle of British anti-slavi rvites, in giving same details of the policy of the Republican party as to the prospects of the lu’.ure, be Said; "They not only de sired but expected emancipation as the fruit of and result ol the war. Slavery was, and would be burned out of every acre and rod ot territory conquered from the rebel*. The slaves of rebels weic confiscated, while those ol Hie loyal would be paid lor, so that by the process of the war and by legal enactment, if the United States Government were successful. Slavery would cease to exist.” L-.-t every leader not fail to peruse the extracts from the speech of the Hon. 1 . W. Voorhees, of the Terre Haute district, on the duty ol the Federal Gov- < i nnienl tn the present unhappy strife.— A portion of the Radical press have characterized it as a Secession speech. Would tiial we had a lew more Secessionists m both halls ol Congress like him. It is a (.entiling rebuke to those who denounce it, and while they ftel the la.h, they can hold up no screen or defense but —Secessionist!.

Bolivar and London heights, and the next day occupied Charlestown. The move-| inent is supposed to have for its object the opening cf the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which can be done in twenty days. The people aie represnted as being nearly starved, having been stripped ol everything by the rebels, who are said to be in force at Winchester. Tiie passport system has been abolished. Persons leaving fora foreign port require no passports, and foreign passports do not require to be countersigned. The gunboat Taylor returned from the Tennessee river on the 231 ult., having been up as high as Eastport, Mississippi. An increased Union sentiment was observed. A large quantity of Hour and grain, stored al Chiton for the use of the rebel army was brought down. Our successes at Forts Henry and Donels in have had a must beneficial result throughout Tennessee and Northern Alabama. Ths bravest and most dashing officer I of the Union army, General Lander, died j at Paw Paw, Western Virginia, on «he 2d, (ruin the debilitating effects of the wound received at Edward’s Ferry.

At 4 o’clock this morning the flotilla under Com. Foote, and transports conveying four regiments ot land troops proceded to this place. On arriving it was dificult to say whether the fortifications were occupied by our own cavalry on a scout from Paducah, or by the enemy. Every preparation was made for open ing fire and landing infantry, when Gen. Sherman and Capt Phelps, with thirty soldiers, made a reconnoissance with a tug, steaming directly under the wat»r battery. Satisfied that our troops had possession, they landed, ascended to the summit, and together planted the Stars and Stripes, amid the cheers of our brave tars and soldiers.

I could not resist landing to examine the works, which are ol iuiiuease strength, consisting of tiers upon tiers of batteries upon the river . front, and a strong parapet and ditch, covered by a thick abattis on the land side. Hie fortifications appear to have been evacuated hastily. A considerable quantity of ordnance and ordnance stores, a number of anchors, and the remainder of the chain once stretched over the ri-er, and a large supply of torpedoes, were left. The desolation was visible everywhere Huts, tents and barracks presented nothing but their blackened remains, though the town was spared. A garrison was left in the work, consisting of nearly 2.0U0 infantry and 400 cavalrv. [Signet!] G. W. Cillum. Brigadier General.

| Rebel Account of the Evacuation of Nashville. “Now for the effects of the loss of the fort upon the city. Early Sunday mornI ing it was reported that Fort Donelson had surrendered, but it was not until between 10 and 11 A. M., that the rumors ; became generai. In the meantime, the ' General Assembly had been hastily convened, and after a short session, adjourned to meet in the city of Memphis on the 20th. The citizens, generally unaware jof any disaster to the Southern cause, were quietly repairing to church, when, h< wever, thev were met by the report that Fort Donelson had fallen, that a Federal aimy was already at Springfield,! Robertson county, about twenty-five miles from the city, connected by railroad, and that the gunboats had passed Clarksville or. their way to this city.— The sudden flight of the Governor and al) ■he State officers, including the General Assembly, who took a special train through io Memphis, gave color to these absurd rumors, and the whole city was thrown into a panic. About this time General Johnson’s army fiom Bowling Green entered the city, passing South, thus leaving the impression that no stand was to be made lor the defense of Nashville. Such hurrying to and fro was never seen. Before nightfall, hundreds of citizens, with their families, were making their way as best they could to the South. ; many of them having no idea why they were thus recklessly abandoning Comfortable bouses, or where they were going. About night it was announced that the military authorities would thiow open the public stores to all who would take , them. The excitement continued through Sunday night, constantly gaining strength, aided by the destruction of two gunboats at the wharf, wbioh were in process of construction—two fine New Orleans packets, the James Woods and James Johnson, having been taken for that purpose. The retreating army of General Johnson I continued its march, encamping by regi meats at convenient points outside of the city. Monday morning the drama opened on the city intensely exciting. The public stores were distributed to some cxtent among the people, while the army land hospitals were making heavy requisi- : tions, and pressing all vehicles and men that they could, to convey their supplies to their camp? At the same time, considerable quantities were removed to the ■ depots (or transportation South Evening came, and no gunboats, and no Fede- ■ tai army from Kentucky. General Johnson left for the South, placing Gen. Floyd in command, assisted by Generals Pillow • and Hardee. The apprehensions of the near approach of the enemy having been ■ found groundless, it was determined by | Gen. Floyd that the destination of the , stores was premature, and an order was , sent to close the warehouses, and a force 1 detailed to collect what bad been given i out. This was done, as far as practicable, but on Tuesday the distribution commenced again, and continued, with more or less restrictions, under the eye of the most judicious citizens, until Saturday morning. Tuesday night the wire and railroad bridge across the Cumberland were destroyed, in spile of the most earnest and persistent remonstrances of our leading ciliz-ns. The wire bridge cost about 8150,000; and a large portion of the stock was owned by the lamented Gen. , Z llicoffer, and was the chief reliance fori the support of his orphand daughters.— The railroad bridge cost 8250,000 and was one of the finest drawbridges in the country. “The scenes which were enacted during the 1 flowing days up to Monday morning, 24th beggars description. The untiring energy of the Mayor and city authorities who throughout this whole affair acted wit, a prudence, zeal and devotion to the city, which cannot be too highly commended, was inadequate to keep down the selfish and unprincipled spirit of mammon which run riot; grasping from the inoutls and backs of suffering widows and orphans, tbe poor pittance of meat and clothing which was left them as indemnity for months of toil with their needle, and the sacrifice of husbands, sons and brothers in defense o f the Siulhern Confederacy. Through the efforts of the Mayor, however, a plan was adopted on I Saturday, by which most if not all of these poor and unprotected creditors of the I Government were fully secured by Quartermaster and Commissary stores. “Here was an entire week of panic and confusion during which millions of de liars ' worth of property was lust to the South- ’ era Confederacy and wantonly destroyed, all of which might have been quietiy'and safely removed, had the panic stricken leaders been able to maintain their equanimity in the face of a vague and unauthene tic rumor that the enemy were bear at hand. Comment upon such management is unnecessary in these columns—it can be heard loud and unsparing from avery mouth in '.he land.—[Nashville Ban-, ner. A l nion Refugee from TeuuesseeBy invitation, Rev. R. Browntow Smith, nephew of Parson Brownlow, who has recently escaped horn rebel tyranny at Knoxville, Tenn , gave a narration of his I experience as a Union man in i ebel Tenn, essee, in the Hall of the House, last evening. He is e young and seemingly trail i man, and told his story with • frank simplicity that won the sympathy of Ins hearers. He was with Parson Brownlow in 1 the force of two hundred Union men that fled to the mountain, nnd had two engagement with Zrllicolfer, in the last of which he was taken prisoner, and confined with-

in sight of Ilia own ho«fce. Here he was compelled to witness some rebel officers approach his house, and demand of bis wife the delivery of nis pri rate papers. Hie little boy. five years old, had been taught to bun ah for the Union, and upon his coming cut of doors and seeing the men in unifoim, he shouted: “Hurrah for the Union!” This roused the indignation of one of the officers, and he gave the boy a kick which knocked him off the platform and broke his back, from which he soon died. The mother was armed with a pistol, tor self defense, and instantly shot the rebel.— Complaint eras made to Zollicoffer, but said the man bad been served right, and would not allow the mother to be molested. She soon after escaped to the North and the husband has not seen her since, but has heaid that she is in Ohio. His account of the persecutions of Union men in Tennessee is almost fabulous, but he says facts will substantiate liis statements In alluding to the lesolutions passed j in the House, yesterday iu reference to hanging the leading conspirators in the South, he said they were not strong ehough tr suit the Union men who had been outraged by the rebels. They would never cease a guerrilla warfare on them as long as there was a man left who had taken any prominent part in the conspiracy. But he is no doubt, still excited with his misfortunes; time will soon change men’s feelings and actions in regard,ta such parties.-[Frank. Cor. Cin. Enq. Floyd and Pillow Before the Fight nt Fort Donelson. Floyd and Pillow, it seems, had an enthusiastic reception here as they went down to Fort Donelson, and the people lake a malicious pleasure now in telling about it. Pillow’s speech on the occasion was particularly brave. He was opposed to this thing of surrendering arm ies. Gen. Tilghman had basely betrayed the cause and proved himself a poltroon bv surrendering Fort Henry. As for Fort Donelson, he could only say thut he and Gen. Floyd with the dauntless vohinteera of the South were going down there and the last man ol them would spill his last drop of blood but the Confederate flag should still wave defiance to its foes i from the walls of that fort. Floyd was briefer. He thought the ' time for speeches was past; that stern ac tion whs required, and lor this he was hastening on tolhe field of glorious strife. ' The people here insist that sneaking off , ; in the steamboats in the night, after those "brilliant successes” of Saturday the rebels talked about, was not exactly the kind of stern action required, and that it was a new way of spilling the lasi drop of the last man’s blood.—[tflar. Cor. Cin. G*z. What the Rebel Papers Say. j Louisville, Feb. 27. — The New Orleans Bee confesses to the magnitude of the calamity at Fort Donelson, and condemns the neglect and apathy of the Con . federate Government in not sending suffl cient numbers of troops westward. Il says a general call to arms has become an inevitable necesssity. The Memphis Avalanche of the 22 1. says the Governor of Alabama has called 1 for twelve more regiments from that State, and if thev are not forthcoming, other means will be used to til the requisition The Governor of Georgia calls also for twelve more regiments fiom that State, and says if the requisit oi is not filled by the 4;h of March a draft will be ordered A company near Kingston, Boston county, Georgia, is preparing to turn out a thousand pounds of saltpeter per day from a saltpeter cave in that Vicinity.
