TASflAOB BY mi SENATS OP THE BILL EMANCIPATING
SLAVES IN TUB DISTRICT OP COLUMBIA.
This Afternoon, At half-past five o'clock, the Senate
passed Che hill to emancipate the slaves in the District of
Colombia. The constitution, Chicago platform and the
Speeches of President Lincoln were quoted in vain bp tho
opponents of the measure. Twenty-nine Senators voting
ape, and fourteen nap, the hill was passed substantially
as it was reported hp Senator Wiieon early in the session.
The bill was Introduced by Senator Wilson on the 16lh
if December, and reported back from the committee for
tho District on the 30th of February with amendments,
which, however, do not affect the principles or plan of
emancipation as embodied in the original bill.
Tho compensation for slaves, to he awarded hp a com*
miss loner appointed bp the Preeldent, is to average three
hundred dollars sacb, and it map range from a dime to a
thousand dollars. Very few high priced nogrocs uro left
In the District, however, and a large proportion of those
will remain in their matters' service from choico.
TBI TAX BILL.
The Committee of Ways and Means are determined to
push the Tax bill through the Committee of the Whole
ghlaweek. Only two sections remain to be discussed.
It is thought the bill wiU pass the House when reported,
Sod the Senate will not change it materially before pass
to( it. Co agrees is convinced of the absolute necessity of
raising a large revenue with the least posslbls delay. It
la stated in some quarters that an entirely new bill will
lldt ofluphil in tkh RAfiAiA mm a nhatltiilA hut ift ia halihvhri
that the argent necessity for the passage of iom? rorenue
bill without delay will Induce the poaeage ef the Houee
Mil wllheul material modification. In the meantime the
many amend menu made in Committee ef the Whole on
the State of the Union will be printed.
Tin ENLISTMENT OF SOLDIERS STOPPED.
All officers engaged in the recruiting service hare been
ordered to their regiments, and notice given to the Governors
of Slates that no new enlistments or new levies
will be received until further orders from the War Department.
The force now in the field is deemed amply
tufficient for tbo suppression of tho rebellion and the
tpeedy termination of the war.
GALLANT ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE SOfTHWEST.
The capture of Union City by Colonel Buford, and the
mpture of the enemy's batteries by the expedition under
Colonel Roberts, are regarded by the War Department as
eery gallant achievements.
TBS CHARGES AGAINST TUB RACKET A RY OF Till
INTERIOR.
The 'New York World having reltersted its vague
tharges against the integrity of Secretary Smith's man
sgemcnt of the affairs of tho Interior Departinont, that
gentleman has promptly demanded of the conductors of
hat journal the name of his covert assailant, and speclIcattons
of the letter's allegations. He indignantly scouts
the accusation as being a monstrous fsbrication,gotten
spto compass some sinister purpose, and evidently intends
pursuing ths matter, in order to make an exumple
of thoss who may be behind his Irresponsible assailant,
If, ae is probable, somo such person bo named in answer
to his demand of the proprietors of the World newspaper.'
REPORTS OF REPCGBES FROM RICHMOND.
The steamer Ring Philip arrived from the lower river
last night, bringing up four refugees from Ricbmood and
Westmoreland counties,Virginia, who came off from Kin^ale
on Saturday last. They stats that the rebels are
pressing every msle between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five Into the service, and they had been closely
hunted by tbe press gangs for a week or two.
The rebels bavs mostly left tbs neighborhood of Lou
doo; but a few squads of their cavalry roam throuirh
the country, impressing into the service all able to be.tr
rata.
The four refugees state that they are natives of that
lection, one being an old farmer named Gardy, and the
ethers young men engaged In business near bim. One

at Klnsale.

thjit every movement of the government troops, their 11
number, &o., la speedily communicated to the rebels by c
their sympathizers within our lines, through the laxity c
which ia now exercised to regard to the pastes. The 1
country has not been by any means scoured in the ad- t
vance, and as many members of Stuart's cavalry are c
rts.dent in the neighborhood of Manassas, it is a most
convenient arrangement for them to be in a civl1! n's
garb, acting us a spy one day and a member of a scouting i
party the next. If a more stringent rule is not adopted, j
sorao of the curiosity seekers at the battle Held of Hull t

to a few of those gentry. The roads are frequented by j
very suspicious individuals, and particular precautions (
should be taken by all who travel outside ol the army on (
the other side or the 1'otomac. j
A 8KCK8SION MEETING BROKEN If.
.An effort u us made on Saturday last to hold a secession
meeting in disguise at Fairfax Court House. Colonel '
Burbeck, of the Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers,
sent down a company of men from Cenlicville,
and arretted some twenty of the participants, who were j
released after taking tho oath of allegiance.
RKBKL DESERTERS COMING IX.
Deserters from tho Army of Manassas are making their
appearance occasionally. They managed to linger behind
at the time of the evacuation, and were overtaken by
our troops. Several have been thus taken. They are
well clothed, and appear smart and intelligent. But
very little reiiance is to be placed upon them, although
they profess to bo Northern men, forced into the
Southern army from want of work.
THE CONTRABANDS COMING IN.
The exodus of contrabands has ceased to excite remark.
Hardly a mile of road between Washington and
Warronton can be passod without meotlug more or loss
of the " irrepressible'' race. They come not in single
spies but in battalions.
0 EN Kit AL ROSECRANS.
There is no foundation for the statement that General
Rosecrar.s has resigned. He is a thorough soldier, and
intends to do his duty to the end.
GENERAL BI-ENKER'S COMMAND ATTACHED TO GENERAL
FREMONT'S ARMY.
Blenker's command has been attached to the department
of Fremont, much to tho disgust of the rank and
file, and to the evident satisfaction of the commander of
the Second corps d' arms*.
THE COMMISSION ON STATE PRISONERS.
The Commission on State prisoners will commence
their sessions at the Fifth Avenue Hotel next Monday.
After completing their business there they will pioceod

VISIT OF ENGLISH ARMY OFFICERS?WHAT THEY
THINK OF OCR TROOFS.
Colonel Lysor.e, Assistant Adjutant General of the Commander-in-Chief
of the British army; Colonel Percy, command
ing the British Grenadier Guards; the Lieutenant
Colonel commanding the Fusileer Guards; Captain Gordon,
A. I). C. to Lord Paulel, Lieutenant the Earl of Dunmore,
aud other British officers of high note, left this city
recently for Canada, after having spent some days in
Wellington, and havlog Been not a little of our army and
our material of war. The names of the men will hardly
convey to the American public an adequate idea of their
real rank and importance. Colonel Lysons, formerly of
the Royals, is one of the most distinguished and thorough
soldiers in England. He had much to do with the organization
of the British Volunteers, and was sent to Canada to
organize the Canadian militia at the timo that war was
expected to grow out of the Trent affair. Colonel Percy,
commanding the Grenadier Guards, ranks as a Brigadier
General, and few brigadiers In the British service would
object to exchange ranks with him. The Grenadier,
Coldstream and Fusileer Guards constitute the "Household
Brigade," the choice and pet troop* or England
They are better paid than the line, more carefully recruited,
and officered by the pure "blue blood" of England.
These offlcors cam# to see the Army of the Potomac. Before
their departure their commanding officer, Sir Fen.
wick Williams, of Kars, enjoined upon them to preserve the
strictest incognito in travelling throughout the United
States. He warned them that our hatred of Eug!ithmvn>
and especially of British officers, was ;*rfeetly diabolical;
and that as their friend, Dr. Russell, of the Timrt, had
informed them, social demoralization and anarchy were
so prevalent hero that, if thoy were Identified anywhere
on the way as officers of the British nrmy. they would
probably be mobbed and murdered. Tbey were, therefore,
required to disguise themselves and their baggage.
Extra whiskt-is were cropped, and the names of the
owners itainted off their travelling imptdiiHtnla. So
thoroughly was this carried out that Captain Gordon was
compelled by an orderly of General Williams to leave
behind him in Montreal a trunk which bore his name
and the designation of his Kg.mint.
Strange to say, the party arrived at Washington withfiut
hlivilzfi ODftJ uLLu-Lf'tl hv the nnfinU nf thee
Lulled States. They reported to Lord Lyons, and, their
arrival having become known, they were appalled by a
visit from Major General McDowell, who came?not to
challenge them, as eouio of the i>arty expected, but?to
exchange civilities and to tender them the compliment of
a divisional review.
After due deliberation the Invitation was atcepied.
Precaution* were taken, in accordante >.th General
William*' Instructions, to prevent the assassination of
any membera of the party by bond* of murderer*
hired by Mr. Seward. They croeaed tho Long Bridge
without lowing a man. Some trepidation wa* observed
among the younger officers when they reached tha
ground and took their position in front of the division
every man of whom, in the opinion of Dr. Russell, of tho
London limrt, wa* panting for their blood. But the appearance
of General McDowell and stair calmed their
fears, and the review proceeded. Kor Ave mortal hours
they bestrode their horses, watchinc th* evolutiona of
the most perfect division of the greater', army In the
world. At the close Colonel I.yaone and Colonel l'ercy
could not help saying that never, in their long military
experience, had ihry witnessed a finer spectacle.
The latter, Colonel Percy, as spokesman for tho party,
expressed hie gratification in a noal little speech to General
McDowell, and was duly complimented in the response.
No allusion was made by the Englishman to bis
chief surprise, winch was that none of lbs party had
been shot at. Gsnaral McDowell could not,ef course,
guess thst this thought was uppermost in tbeir mmds.
With the exqulslto tact so chsrsctsristtc of Fnglisli
men,Colonel Parcy communicated to General McClsilart,
whom he met at the review, bis high appreciation of me
soldierly appearance of bis troops, and suggested that it
would he well to Issue an order of the day elating that
the review had boon witnessed by distinguished oflkcers
of tbs British army, who pronounced the drill and ma
nvuvrcs of the division very flue sod creditable.
General McCIellan replied thst It ass a vary good
jdes indsod, and that he should not fail to act upon it
when ho had time. Pity be has been so busy ever since
It waa our old friend, Sir William Boyd, who eaid tLat
railroads in this country should be ruu with extra care
when the cars contained 'distinguished Englishmen "
Had not Colonel Percy belter have left him tbe roeoopoiy
of the idea ?

A SPACE Of 1IIH BILL ABOLISHING SLAVERY in TUB DlB'lKlt.'l'
OF COLUMBIA.
Tho hill to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia
rns taken up.
Mr. MlDolcail, (opp.) of Cal., proceeded to'epoak
gainst the measure. He said he regretted the introduction
of all (hose measures, nud ho thought the character of
bis discussion would not tend to restoro the Union. Ho
onteuded that such a measure was especially inexpedi"
dil at surb a time as this. The republican party was
specially pledged by tlio President against it. Though
10 (Mr. McDougall) was oppoFcd to slavery, and consid
o votu lor u bill pi jvidiug for a gradual emancipation of
be slaves and a w isc system of colonisation.
Mr. TknEtck, (rep.) of N. J., would have much pre'erred
a i.ill providing for a gradual emancipation of tbo
-laves, with Just compensation, and tbo submission of
be question to the people of the District. Mr. Ten Eye It
lie re referred to the views of the President, as expressed
in bis discussions with Mr. Douglas, in 1800, and to tbo
pledges of (be President to non-interference Willi slavery
by tho republican party, as (be reasons why he expressed
tbo ubove prtfereueo. lie (Mr. Ten Kyck) considered
it but just and reasouuble that this question
should be passed upon by the people of tbo District of
Columbia.
Mr. TaoMCi'i.L, (rep.) at 111., asked what propriety is i
there in submitting a question for mine or the Senator's
(Mr. Ten Eyck's) constituents to the few people here,
'Whether the capital of the nation shall bo free or not?"
Why should not tbo whole people have a vote upon it?
Mr. Tun Eves replied that slavery had existed in this
district for a long time, but he (Mr. Ten Kyck) did not
know that the business of Congress bud been impeded
theroby. He also thought that tbo interests and the feelings
of the border States ought to be consulted.
Mr. Scmmw, (rep.) of Mass., moved to emend the bill,so
that, In taking testimony before the commissioner a, no
witness shall bs excluded on account of color.
The amendment was agreed to by yeas, 26; nays, 10.

petition for payment for his slavo, shall take an oath
that he (the claimant) has sot borne arms m the rebellion,

the person liberated, if he eimprates to another country.
Mr. B. said that we should do something more than
simply liberate the negro. He did not believe the two
races could live togeibtr with mutual advantage. Indeed,
with all bis horror of slavery, he wan not sure but
if the two races must live together, the best way for
them to do so was to remain in the relation of master
and slave.
Mr. Wiimot, (rep.) of Pa ?If that is the case, why not
propose compulsory emigration 1
Mr. Bnowwinc thought it was not tune to consider that
quest ion on so small a measure as this. When the question
should conic up ho would be perfectly willing to
vote for compulsory emigration, and take Ills share of
the responsibility. He did not believe that the nogro
could ever rise to an equality of civilization with the
white man in this country.
