Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That, im mediately upon the passage of this «ct, the President of the United Btates shall cause his proclamation to be issued, setting forth the immediate aud unconditional emancipation of all persons held as slaves in any of the afore said States, under the laws thereof; aud also ordering all officers to give protection to all such emancipated slaves, and accept the ser vices of all who ntay tender them in behalf of the Government, if in the judgment of such officers such services shall be useful or neces sary to the prosecution of ibis war. Such is the measure proposed by a United States Seuator^'to suppress the slaveholders’ rebellion”—for that is the title of the bill. Tiiis bill has not yet passed, though it was favorably received—read the first and second times, and ordered to be printed. But another bill has pasted which virtually covers Ike whole ground. On Monday, the 22d July, the bill for the confiscation of property of the people of the South being under consideration, Mr. Trum bull offered the following amendment: And be it further enacted, That whenever any person claiming to be entitled to the ser vice or labor of any person under the laws of any State, shall employ suoh person in aiding or promoting any insurrection, or in resisting the laws of the United States, or shall permit him to be so employed, he shall forfeit all right to such service or labor, and the person whose labor or service is thus claimed shall be thenceforth discharged therefrom, any law to the contrary notwithstanding. amendment was adopted, ayes 33, amended passed the nocs 0. Aud then the bill Senate. Now, nearly every inan in the 8outb who owns a negro, has him employed in making cotton or corn, which the master is subscribing to the Confederate Produce Loan. This is aid ing the Confederate Government—“promoting insurrection, and resisting the laws of the United States and, according to the provis ions of Trumbull's amendment, all such ne groes ure tree. This is, nodoubt, the construc tion that was intended to be pdt upon it. To accomplish their aims by indirection or trick, instead of an open, hold policy, has always been the objects of Yankees. This is a war to abolish slavery. The main tenance of the Union is desired only that the abolition of alavery may be accomplished by it. The fanatical North considers slavery in the South in the way of its prosperity, and wants to crush it out. lienee this war. To maintain the Union is their pretenae, but to abolish slavery is their intent. The Preliminary Uxamiuatlou of John and James Wilson, Charged with the .Murder of Thomas Terry. At the hour of ten o'cdock yesterday, a large audience assembled at the City Hull, to witness the examination of the Wilsons. It was a sol emn spectacle. Anxious groups were standing around d^cuNsing the various points in the cose ns they understood them. A few persons had the Confederacy rcudiug our account of the hor rid affair, while all who could gather around, were listening in almost breathless attention.— All around the court room, each man was con versing In a subdued tone with the one who sat next him. The ofllecrs and attorneys were en gaged in arranging preliminaries, dec. Within the bar, were seated the two prisoner*. The elder lmd a strap of cotton cloth tied around his head, and his shirt on the lull shoulder was bloody—supposed to he from the blow of thu stirrup by Mr. Terry when the difficulty occur red. They both had a wild look, an uneasy aud uncomfortable motion and action ol their limbs —were unshaven, untidily dressed and their hair uncombed. Justices Thomas and Smith presided. Justice Thomas read to the prisoners the charge. During the reading the elder Wilson looked steadfastly at the magistrate, while the younger hung down his head and closed Ills eyes. When asked to plead to the charge, the elder Wilson, with an excited shake of the head and hurriedly crossing his legs, said *' not guilty. ”— The younger o|>eued his eyes but made no re sponse. Mr. A. Kennedy testified. V- Please statu ill the hearing of the Court all you know, commencing first with the time, place, Are. A. On last Saturday evening about 5 o’clock, Thomas Terry, coming Into town, rode past my ►hop, which Is on Decatur street, near a mile lYom the center of the city, on the left hand side of the street os you go out. I did not see Mr. Terry os lie |tossed uiy window, but Mr. Cowan, who was sitting by me saw him. Mr. Terry looked back and saw Mr. Cowan, and spoke to him. I then naked Mr. Terry to alight, who refused, saying if he made many more 8to|w» he would not get Into town that night. I had beeu up town that morning aud got a letter from luy son at Mauossas. I told him of it, ond he seemed glad to hear from hliu and stopped. In the act of his getting down, I no ticed the shade of two men coming up. it proved to be John and James Wilson. Mr. McDuffie was standing In the window ond wns aboutjeav- Ing—had hid us good evening. He walked on with the Wilsons, going out from town, aud all scctncd to stop about the corner of mjr lot. Mr. James Wilson seemed to say something to Mr. McDuffie, who then seemed to bid them good evening, and went on. By this time Mr. Terry had crossed the side-walk aud stepped up to my •bop window. Iiorse ami hallooed to part them. I ran out as soon as possible. John Wilson was on Terry beating him in the face with his fist with nil his power. I laid hold on hitn and pulled him off. lie (Wllsot) seemed to be very angry—tried to get away from me, saying he wanted to kill Ter ry. I pushed him off towards James, and said, “Takeyour father and go ajpny with him.”— James then took his father, who still was in a rage, cavorting around to get loose. By the time 1 got back to Terry he had got up on his feet. I looked In his face and saw that be was badly hurt. He tried to walk, and reeled. I as sisted hi in to iny door step and seated him there on. By this time Mr. Cowan hud come, and at my suggestion went for a Doctor. While he was gone, Mr. Terry tried to speak and could not articulate. After some time he raised up off his feet, and seemed to hear the old man Wilson, who wns down at Mr. Nnce's mill, some 150 yards, and was still whooping, hallooing and making threats. Hearing Wilson seemed to a- rousc him. lie made an effort to take oil his coat, saying “I can whip them yet.” I told him to sit dowu and the doctor would soon eoine ; that he was too much hurt to think of it. He then put up his hand to his head, and discover ing the blood on it, said to me, “ where docs all this blood come from ?” I told him he was hurt. He asked if lie wns much hurt. I said I Imped not. He then bung dowu his load and said, “Oh, me, they have been waylaying me some time to kill me.” He tli«u asked me for a drink of water. lie drank, and in n very short time complained of feeling sick. I then placed him in a chair in the shade, supposing the sunshiue caused his sickness. In helping him to the chair lie again appeared to be much distressed, and said, “ I want to go home.” I told him he was not able. By this time the Doctor came and commenced clipping from the wound, the hair. He opened a small placo that was cut on the skin and was feeling round it, to see the extent of ilia injuries. I stepped back to my work, which waa pressing me, when the Doctor said “ho is fainting,” and asked for camphor. In a moment afterwards the Doctor said “ he is dy ing.” I noticed that Mr. Terry had a very hard spasm and seemed to me to be dying. I became alarmed. I wns nsked to hold his head ami did so. Mr. Terry said about then, that he wanted to lie down. About that time young Austin Wilson came up with his hands full of rocks, making threats and desiring to get a chuuce at Terry. Mr. Shipley told him to leave. The Doc tor stepped up to young Wilson and struck him —threw him down and conquered him, after whic h he left. The Doctor then came hack and we carried Terry into the house and laid him down. He seemed to roll about and be distress ed. The Doctor said that Dr. Brown had better he sent for, which was done. I then went to my supper. When I cninc back to him, the ex amination had made it manifest that he could not live. He died In my house about a quarter past two o’clock that night. Q. Of your own knowledge, do you know of any previous threats of the Wilsoua against Terry ? or of Terry against them ? A. On Mr. Terry’s part, I never heard of any previous quarrels, or threats, or difficulty; but, some eight or ten days before the fray, James and Austin Wilson came up to my win. dow, ou their way to town, and askeJ if I had seen Teiry pass I told them I had not. They then told me & cousin of theirs had gone to the war, and his wife was on Terry’s place, and that Terry had, some time ago, whipped the child of Walton Wilson (who had gone to the war) very severely. They said they were go ing to whip him for it. James Wilson then said thero wa< also an old grudge—a difficulty between him and Terry, about some school ac- count, which Terry had threatened to sue hitn ou, or imprison him for; that ho, at tbattime, had went to Terry’s house, with a pistol, and called him out; but the end of the pistol was protruding, and was seen by Mr. Simmons, a brother in law of Terry ; that Terry came out with a wagon spoke in his band, and he quiet ly left, seeiog the advantage they had of him, and knowing the law was in Terry’s favor.— He then said the whipping of the child bad renewed theoM difficulty, in his mind, and he was determined to watch out for him on the road, till he found him, and have satisfaction, and then went on to town. In the evening, they came back, and stopped at my window again. I asked if they had seen Mr. Terry— They said they had not Mr. Austin Wilson soon went up to his father in-law’s a short ills tance off. James Wilson renewed hie threats —that he intended to watch for Terry every day, till he got to see him; that he believed Terry was a better man thsn he wss, tod that be would take the advantage of him ; that he would approach Teriy in a good humor, ap parently, and say, " How are you, Mr. Terry;’’ and said ho, “ Kennedy, the first thing you kuow, I’ll have something to knock him down with.” He then said that if he failed in that, he would get behind a tree and way-lay him ; that if he failed in that, he would go down to his house—my impression is, that it should be after night—and call him out, and would be prepared for him ; and my understanding waa, that he would shoot him. He was drinkingat the time, and I did not pay special attention to what he said. I had no idea of ita coming to such rasulta; thought it was only the talk of a drinking man, and did not pay as much attention aa I would otharwiae. I never told Mr. Terry anything about tbair threats. Crete-Examined. Heard no words pass between Terry and 1 pulled the letter out of my drawer. When | Wilson, befors Terry went out to his mula. Mr. Win H. C. Cowan sworn: I know but tittle mere than what baa bsen stated. I bad gone to Mr Kennedy’# thop to get my ahot- pouch mended. .1 was sitting in tho shop tink ering with it, when Terry rode by and asked ine if I had turned shoemaker. I asked him to s light, and no did Kenndey. When Terry was at the Winddw, the Wlldons came up. When 1 left Terry to go to my houae, be walked out into theraiddleof tbestreet. When I had gone some 00 or 70 yards, I heard a crush, and perhaps an oath. 1 turned round and saw Mr. Terry down, and John Wilson on him beating him in tha faoe— it appeared to mo, with bis left hand. Mr. Kennedy ran out, and 1 heard him aay, 11 Part them.” I caught and hitched his mule By this time, old man Wilson was taken off, and Terry got up. 1 went for Dr. Bsach, but could not find biin.— I then got Dr. Gilbert, aad esiue as quickly as I could. After Mr. Terry wss letnoved into Mr. Kennedy's porch, and laid dowD, Dr. Gil bert asked me to go for Dr. Brown, which I did. When we were sitting Mr. Terry down on the steps, he said, “The devils have been way laying me.” I heard no other remarks made by Terry. 1 was in the room when Mr. Terry died, and it was about a quarter past two o’ clock. I don’t think Mr. Terry wss in his proper inind after he was struck; but be did talk, and he knew me and Dr. Gilbert. He c>u!d not speak distinctly. All he said was a kind of muttering talk.

Axon, of South Carolina, mas killed last Tuesday even ing. near Wilson. North Carolina, cn the Wil minglou and Weldon ltailroad, by Arthur B. Davis, of the second Georgia Regiment. The main p irtict 1 ns of* he i ff.ir, as w* ’earo from eye witnesses, Are as follows : Capt. Axson, cn route for Kichmnud, was bringing with him some watermelons aud fine tropical dtuils, aa a present to distinguished friends in Richmond. Davis, while intoxica ted, cut open several of the melons and crush ed others. He Afterwards approached the Cap tain and offered as ao apology the remark that he was drunk, to which the C(plain replied that being drunk was no excuse for stealing. During the day Davis again approached the Captain and declared that he was sorry for what be bad done while intoxicated and was willing to make an apology for it. The Cap tain replied that he was satisfied, shook his hand aud joined him in a drink. They ap peared afterwards to be frieud-y for some hours In the afternoon, Divis being sgaiu nnder the influence of liquor, w it making a rather careless exhibition of side-arms, when the Captain, in a good humor, and apparent ly remonstrating, held him for a moment.— Being released, Davis withdrew for a moment to another car, but soon returned, with a pistol in band, demanding to know where was the man who had imposed on him. Captain A. supposing at once that be was the persou al luded to, stepped forward and was shot iu the breast by Davis, when very near him. Cap tain A. died instantly. Davis was arrested. Captain Axson was the commander of Com pany “ M,’" First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, which returned home a few weeks since. 11s was returning with bis Company again to enter the service.

Tragic Affair—Sequel to (he Killing,of Capt. Axson of South Carolina. The Dispatch contained yaaterday an ac count of the shooting of Capt. Charles H. Ax son, of Company “M,” 1st Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, on Tuesday evening, near Wilson, N. C , on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, by Arthur B. Davis, of the Second Georgia Regiment, then en route for this city. The perpetrator of the act was put under guatd for conveyance to this city and trial by martial law. The circumstances attending the death of Capt. Axson, excited a feeling of bitter indig- naiion agaiust Davis, though no attempt at retaliation was indulged in prior to the arriv. al of the Petersburg oars on Wednesday ev ening. When they reached the depot in this oily, four South Carolina volunteers approach ed the car in which the prisoner waa confined under guard, and expressed an intention of •booting him. Finding thorn determined, the superintendent of tb# rood (Tbos. II. Wynn, Esq.,) ordered the car containing the prison er and guard (two men armed with muskets) to be backed to the Manchester side of the river. Tbia done, and the four who had made the demonstration, beingtold that Davis would be earned aoross the river to the camp near the reservoir, left in the latter direction. It appears, however, that there were others pre sent bent on (he same errand .of vengeance. The bridge guard says five or six soldiers passed him and would not barepulsed when he ordered them return. The result of sending Davis across the bridge, in company with two men as guard, ignorant of their duty, is found in the following narrative furnished by a mem ber of the regiment to which he was attach ed. Our informant saya : Davis, upon arriving io Richmond, was left by Major Butts in care of a guard of the TeU fair Volunteers, Capt. Smith. He ordered the car to be backed across the river, and pro ceeded to the camp to report to Col Semaiee. Very shortly afiarwarde a parly of men, sup posed to belong to Captain Axson's compauy, came and asked him from the guard, promis ing, on the faith of gentlemen, that he should be delivered to tbe proper authorities. Assur ed by them, he followed them On the road they attempted to borrow a rope. When they got to a ravine they baited, and told him they wera going to hang bim. Ho protested against it, and said that they had pledged their faith to him. One stepped in front of him, laying, faith, be d—d ; I am going to shoot you,” and upon that shot bim. Davie then turned to escape ; they rushed upon him, and out at with [Bowl* knives, inflicting eeviral wounds. Davit fell, partially Inienaiblo.— Again, whila on (ho ground, thoy inflicted a ' wound with a knife in the neck, and one in ! J tho hand. Supposing bim dead, they turned ! Io leave, when one of them asked if they had bettor not eand for a dootor. «•> was answer . ad by ona who eaid “ No ; if he ie not dead: !■- let 1 *finish him; and approaching him, fired mp at him within a few feet. Tha ball did not t*ka effect. • tile now lies critically ill at tbe residence of Dr. Luckeit, of Manobeeter. Tha ball, which may prova fatal, passed between the first rib and clavicale. and glancing downwards, im bedded itself in deep tissue of the back uoder the shoulder blade, from whence it was re moved yaaterday morning. The knife wounds,; though very bad, are not themselves fatal. Three more men returned after the affair, and inquired if he was dead, aud on being told do, but mortally wounded, laughed and went off. Before being removed to Dr. Luckett's house Divis, supposing himself dying, asked per mission to make a declaration before tu$ pro per authorities. He wss taken to the Town Hall, and bit evidence stands recorded by a magistrate. The circumstances of the shooting and stab bing are gathered from Davis’ statement — Diapatch, 2d inatant. From Ike Dispatch, August &l. The Late Homicide Followed by au At tempt to Mvrder I Yesterday we learned tbatjoung Davis,who shot Capt. Axson on tbe Wilmington cats on Tuesday evening, was taken by a mob from a car on the south side .of the river, opposite the city, and after being conveyed some half a mile or so, was shot and stabbed several times. Though not killed ootrigbi, it is learn ed that his wounds are mortal. 8ome sccouul of this shooking affair will be fouud in our lo cal column, and it is also referred to in a let ter, which we publish below. We published yesterday an acoount of the killing of Capt. Axson, which was furnished by members of his company. We regret that in it the paper wss led iuto the statement of eiroumetancee that certainly reflect upon Mr Davis, and are disputed. We are satisfied that he was a gentleman most respectably connected, and held in warm esteem amongst bis felloW'.cititeos. We give plaoe very read ily to the following communication in bis vin dication ; Richmond, Va., August 1st, 18iil, Ediort Dispatch: Sirs, In your issue of this morning, under the head ng of “Lamentable Affair,” 1 find an account of the shoot in; of Captain Axson, 1st South Caro lina Volunteers, by Mr. Davis, of the 2d Georgia Volunteers. So far as the fact of Cap tain Axson having been shot by Mr. Davis, you are coriect, aud in so far only. From disinterested eye-witnesses (witnesses who do not belong to cither Siaie, South Carolina or Georgia,) l leurn that both parlies were ine- braied ; that Mr. Davis did cut one, or per haps more, melons of CaptAin Axson’s; when for so doing Mr. Davis apologized, 6ta'ing that he had supposed they were for sale, (as fruit was thus expot-ed all along the line,) and (hat he expected to pay for them on tbe appear- auce of the owner ;£thal he was sorry lor tbe mistake ; that the excuse satisfied Captain A , when both drank together, more than once — A dispute afterwards arose, dtiriug which Coptsin Axson held Mr. Davis to the floor, choking him. On being released Mr. Davis left the car, and procuring his B : de Arms re lumed to the car and took his seat, remark ing that he would not suffer himself to be thus imposed on again ; that on Captain Ax son’s making a rush on him, Mr. Davis shot him. Your informant neglected to slate to you other facts : that Major Butt, of the Sc** cornl Georgia Regiment immediately arrested Mr.D , disarmed him and conveyed bim to this city ; that he left bim in one of the cars, uo der a corporal’s guard, and went to bunt the proper authorities, to whom he intended to surrender him ; that during iiis absence the guard was set upon by a possee of armed men, (supposed to belong to Capt Axson’s compa ny ;) that beiug no longer able to hold him the guard surrendered him, on theposseeor mob promising to only convey bim to the pro - per authorities ; that (hat armed mob took Mr. Davis a half mile out of towu, and there brutally murdered him ; shooting bim, and on his falling, one of the party ran up and stabbed bim Mr. Davis was totally unarm ed at the time, Major Butt having taken his arms from him. Had he had them about bim, uo such a cowardly assassination would have been attempted; for men who could thus act, would have lacked the courage to have attacked him openly, when armed. Mr. Davis is well knowu iu Georgia ; his previous character has been unimpeachable. His con duct at home And abroad has been that of the true gentleman. The blood of Georgia’s Gov ernors flow not in other veius, and the 2d Georgia Regiment had hoped that the press of Richmond would have waited until a judicial investigation had thrown a light on tbe affair. I do uot know why the disposition of t he fruit being brought by Capt. A. was mentioned.— The piece says it was for distinguished frieuds in Richmond. If, by its mention, it was, in tended to leave the impression of social ine quality on tbe part of Mr. D., it should have been left out; for Mr. D., socially, was any one’s equal. He occupied in bis native State a high social position, and deservedly. He was connected with (and never disgraced his con nection,) the most honorable families in Geor gia, being a grandson of ex Gov. Schley. So much for "distinguished friends ” aud its re Terence.
