Contrabands for Rebel Service,
The Petersburg (Va.) J£p pres* eayg that a requi
sition has been made upon the slave owners of
Prince George and Surrey counties for one half of
the neproes between the ages of 16 and 50 years,
to repair io Williamsburg. where the rebel Gener
al iUgmders reserves are posted, to work on the
fortifications which arc designed to protect York
town in the rear.
The above, in the "Washington dispatches,
is commended to the notice of snch patri
ots (*) as are stricken with honor whenever it
is proposed that wc make use of the negroes
in whatever capacity they may be scrvicablc.
Site Chlcseo Sanitary Commission.
The Chaplain of the 11th lowa regiment,
writing from on board the steamer John J.
Soc, m routed own the Tennessee river with
520 Wounded soldiers from the Pittsburg bat
tle field, says;
The heart sickens at the remembrance of
the horrible scenes of Sabbath and Mondav,
and on the boats since. Although we arc
comparatively comfortable on this large boat,
still there is a vast amount of suffering. Six
have died since leaving the landing, and many
more will die soon, we have not half help
enough either as surgeons or nurses, and verv
few comforts and hospital stores. If it had
not __ been for the presence of an agent of the
Sanitary Commission of Chicago, with such
things as were at hand, we should have been
destitute of some articles absolutely necessa
ry.
Additional supplies of some articles were
procured at Paducah, but of twenty-nine vol
onteer surgeons and multitudes* of nurses
found there, only one of each could be Induc
ed to come on board. AJI were bent on going
to Pittsburg Landing, and this after they were
assured by the surgeon in charge that no
wounded would be found there on their arri
val. Possibly curiosity Influenced them more
than humanity.
ST The Ohio 53d, which is accused of run
ning to the rear, say that, being raw recruits
who had never been drilled, they were all con
fused, but still would have stood their ground
had not their Colonel dodged. They and the
other regiments accused oft bad behavior af
firm that they arc as brave as others, and will
wipe off Ihi- stain before the war is over. As
the details of the surprise are unfolded our
Indignation at these Ohio regiments is a great
deal mitigated.
ESP A letter from Paris, received in Wash
ington, says the Emperor Napoleon has been
heard to say in reference to the engagement
in Hampton Roads, that it is now settled that
there is no navy in the world that could make
bead against iron-clad steamers. The nhuark,
according to the writer of the letter, is sup
posed to have been made with an eye to a pos
sible conflict with England.
gSfThe Republicans carried the city elec
tion at Bloomington, on Monday, electing
Mr. Parke Mayor by 25 majority. Mayor
V Lliiims, of Rockford, was rc-elcctod on

Tlic Bombardment of Pillow—Slow
Work—tom, Foote’s Wound,
[from the St. Louis Democrat, 23d.]
Our latest advices from Commodore Foote's
fleet are to Thursday evening. A gentlcuun
“who left there at that time informs us
tsat a slow bombardment was still pro
gressing. the Fori; exchanging occasional
shots with the mortars and gunboats.
Deserters say that our IS-inch shell have
given the rebels considerably annoyance,
and compelled them to remove their camps
back out of range. They say also that a por
tion of Gen. Price’s army on their route thro’
Memphis to Corinth were detailed to come up
to Fort Pillow. Gen. Pope has gone to Gen.
Halleck with about 20,000 men,“leaving with
Commodore Foote, the 43d Indiana. CoL Mc-
Lean, and the 40th Indiana. Col. Fitch. He
left also at Tiplonvilie the 471h Indiana and

TVewere obliged to close our last letter
while a spirited interchange of shell was tak
ing place between our momr boats and the
rebel gunboats. They have too minv trans
ports and punboats, lying at a dock just below
« heir land batteries, and it was hi tnc vicinity
of these that our 2:>o-pound iron pills were
thrown. The guns they served in return
must have bad a calibre only a little less than
•our mortars, for their reports were a very lit
tle less like thunder. We think the facts go
to show that the rebels have not only more
guns than we have, hut such as arc equally as
effective. Those they made use of this after
noon, threw as far and with as much precision
as we can with the best gun in the fleet; and
the gunboats Cincinnati and St. Louis, which
were h lag near our mortars, and had discov
ered themselves by the smoke from their
chimneys, were not slow iu acknowledging
their danger by shifting a position which was
being dangerously beset by shot and shell.
This afternoon eight more mortars were
dropped down along tbs Arkansas side, making
fourictn in all now there to contribute their
services when the general assault is made. Ton
will understand that all the shooting thus far
has been over a gore of woods half a mile in
width, and the foliage heingvery dense no sight
of the rebel? is obtained by the men firing the
•mortars. The outlines of the. bluff, however,
are plainly visible, and ibe accidental and bold
ruconnoissance made by our four gunboats on
the day of our arrival here, taught us the
whereabouts of their batteries and the dock
their steamers lie.
Three or lour of onr gunboat surgeons, who
examined the Flag-Officer’s foot this morning,
pronounce it in a'vory critical condition, and
the danger it now threatens may render i:
necessary for the Commodore to be relieved
of his command.

THE SIEGE IF TORKTOWN.
FIGHT NEAE LEE'S MILLS.
Bravery of the Green mountain
Boys.
Union Loss 35 Killed, 125 Wounded
and Missing.
[Cor. N. T. Tribune.]
Lee's Mills, Va., April 17,1863.—A rccon
noisance was made about a mile northeaet of
Lee’s Mills yesterday, which, in the severity
of fighting it involved, may be properly rank
ed as a battle.
At half past six o'clock, Companies E, P,]D
and Fj of the 3d Vermmt began the work as
skirmishers, Mott's battery suppotring them
with a very accurate fire of shot ana sheik
The Vermonters skirmished until noon when
they were relieved. The fire had been very
acurate. The rebel braggarts who began danc
ing on their ramparts, and swinging their hats
and defying our troops in the customary south
ern military fashion, were dropped so rapidly
by the sharp-shooters as to be soon cured of
this style of warfare. The four companies of
' the 3d laid down after dinner and thoroughly
rested themselves. At 4 o’clock in the after
noon they were called up, formed into line,
and told by their Colonel in a pithy speech
that the work expected of them was to charge
across the creek and take the enemy’s in
trcnchmeutfi. Ayres's guns—all 'of the
batteries numbering 33 pieces, were under
the command of their accomplished artillery
officer—covered the Vermonters’ advance.
They marched steadily at the quick to the
edge of the creek, and plunged in, on the
run. The water deepened unexpectedly. The
men were soon wading to their breasts, their
cartridge-boxes slung up on their shoulders,
and their muskets held up high. The mo
ment they entered the stream, the rebels
swarmed on the edge of their rifle-pit, and
rained a fire of bullets on the advancmg line.
The stream, as dammed, was about twelve
rods wide. The Vermonters loaded and fired
as they waded. Their killed and wounded
began to fall from the instant of entering the
water. Many of the latter were sustained by
their arms and the collars of their coats, and
so helped across and lad down on the
opposite side. The [Gel, as soon as
they emerged and got foot-hold re
ceived the order to “charge!” With a yell,
wiih tme Green Mountain ring in if, they
dashed at the extended rifle pit. At least a
regiment of rebels broke from behind it, and
ran into the redoubt in the rear, leaving the
Vermonters in the pit. For at least an hour
they fought from here against overwhelming
numbers, receiving reinforcements in that
time, first of four companies of the 6th Ver
mont-, and afterwards of four companies of
the 4th Vermont. They shot their foe princi
pally through the head, and so superior was
their Jirc, and their pluck so impressive, that
the rebels moved two additional regiments
into the fort, and into a flanking position on
the left of the rifle pit. Exposed now to a
cross-fire as well as an increased fire in front,
the Vermonters, though they wanted to stay,
had to go. In good order, covering them
selves behind trees, and fighting as they went,
they re-crossed the stream, carrying with them
all their wounded whose condition at all pro
mised survival of their hurts Many were
now shot in the water and drowned beyond ail
possibility of help. The language of a La
moille County boy, not sixteen vears old,
“ Why, sir, it was just like sap-boiling in that
stream—the bullets fell so thick,” is so ex
pressive that I use it as a measure of intensi
ty. These brave men having backed out of tluf
Urep water, formed on the dry land and began
the fight anew, while many, not detailed, but
volunteering through impulses of soldierly
devotion and personal affection, dashed iato
the stream again and dragged out the wound
ed, who were clinging to the trees and sitting
with their heads just out of water. Julian A.
Scott, of the od Vermont, company E, under
sixlctn years of age, was one of these heroes.
He pulled out uo less than nine of his wounded
comrade*. He twice went under fire way
across ihe stream, and brought back from the
slope of the rifle pit John C. Beckum of his
own company, who was shot through the
lungs. Ephraim Brown, who was help
ing him, was himself shot through the thhrh
in the inside, and disabled. Scott waded back,
like the boy hero he is, brought him safely
over.
It was a sight to come all the way from New
Tori: to see—the masterly manner in which
Cept. Ayres saved the 4th Vermont’s four
companies from the fire of the rebels, who
swarmed more than a regiment full iu their
■rifle-pit. The moment he saw them form for
a charge, he rode to every gun and directed it
to be sighted so as to shave the top of the
breastwork, and then, in the magnetic man
ner which distinguishes him in the field,
reqnired his command to serve the 23
I -ieces with the utmost possible rapidity. This
lire was literally u besom of destruction. The
shells burst with precision within a few Inches
of the top of the parapet, and over it. The
4lh’s companies saved by it. The rebels
dared not lift themselves, or even elevate
their heads above the ed-je of their breast
work to fire down on the Vermonters in the
crcck. Their guns necessarily were discharged
at an upwarii angle, and their fire almost
w holly thrown away.
As an evidence of the terrible accuracy of
the lire of Ayres’ battery, which silenced every
rebel gun, the effect of four of his shots is very
significant. A rebel regiment was moving at
right angles to his position. He lired a coni
cal ball at the tile in which the flag was car
ried, cut down the whole tile and threw the ling
to the earth. The other three shots, equally ef
fective, scattered the regiment like smoke. The
naval maxinf is established that three guns In a
battery arc equal to one hundred afloat. Tne
proportion ol‘power between those in embra
sures, against those in position in an open
field, is nearly as great. When we consider
That Capt. Ayres, with his fire of spherical
case shot, from a level corn-field, against a
large and exceeding strong work, silenced ev
ery gun in it, wejean appreciate the marvelous
skill and sience with which this officer's justly
celebrated battery is worked. Every shot took
effect within the embrasures and over the ene
my’s pieces. He literally s wept and cleared
the rebels away from their guns, and furnished
a new and most Interesting fact in the history
of artillery warfare—the possible superiority
of guns in a plain over an equal number pro
tected by earthworks.
Among the phenomena of the fight was the
condition of The uniform of Captain Bennett,
of company K, of the 3d. It had eight bullet
holes in it. One through the collar of his
coat, onethroogh. the right coat sleeve, one
through his pantaloons below the left knee,
one Through both pantaloons and drawers
above the right knee, and four through the
s-kirts of his coat. There was not a scratch
upon this man’s skin.
Tl-c sharpshooting was marvelous. Ten
men with the telescopic rifle, kept the rebels
? wo hours away from their largest gun. Every
man who came near it was killed. It was ut
terly useless for that long time. The rebel
i cmruander had finally to drive up an entire
r< giment to the piece and man it by superior
ity of numbers—more gunners than could be
killed. It was fired Thu? four limes, when a
s-Uot ln.»m Kennedy’s battery dismounted it.
’I uc value of sharp-shooters is a demonstrated
fact of the greatest military importance.

THE LATEST NEWS
BY TELEGRAPH.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
■Washington, April 53,1562.
The visit of the French Minister to Rich
mond, is still agitated in diplomatic circles,
which are entirely in the dark. It is not even
known whether he is acting under Instructions
from France, or only of his own nation.
Frank Blair's Bill, reported from the House
Military Committee, provides for the organ
ization of a fortifications board, composed of
three engineers, one ordnance officer, one
artillery officer, and two scientific men,
to consider the whole subject of coast and
lake defenses, and report to Congress; and if
directed by the President, to proceed without
consulting Congress. The appropriation for
fortifications, and such advances of money as
may be made by the States, are to be expend
ed under the direction of the Board. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars is appro
priated for the Board. The Board is to con
sider the propriety of constructing, and to lo
cate, a navy yard and naval depot upon the
Northern lakes, a foundry Tor heavy ordnance,
and an armory and arsenal west of the Alle
ghenies, and additional, arsenals and repair
shops.
By the same bill (Blair's) the number of
cadets is to be doubled, the additional ones to
pay their entire expenses yearly in advance.
Surveys and estimates are to be made for a
ship canal around Niagara river. The bill is
accompanied by a voluminous report
An order issued by the War Department
says no General can discharge or accept the
resignations of volunteer officers, commis
sioned or appointed by the President, and un
less such discharges arc confirmed by him,
they arc irregular, and void of effect. None
but the President can dlschagre an officer ap
pointed by himself. The Secretary
has observed with some surprise that
this had been done by the commanders of
one or two departments.
By direction of the President, Brigade Sar
g*.on J. H. Thompson, of the volunteers, is
dismissed as an “ alarmist,” on recommenda
tion of Gen. Burnsides.
On recommendation of Brigadier Gen. Sum
ner, approved by Gen. McClellan, Maj. Von
Steinhause, Capt. Botticher, and Capt. Camp
of the 6Sth New York;[Lieut. Lombard, Battal
lion Adjutant of the Bth Illinois Cav
alry ; and Assistant Surgeon Williams,
of the Ist New York Artillery; are, by
direction of the President, stricken from the
rolls, for being captured while straggling
without authority beyond our out posts,
March 29th.
The Naval Committee of the Senate, will
probably report in favor of restoring the
Kaval School to Annapolis.
The Military Committee of the Senate, has
repoi ted in favor of the confirmation of Maj.
Gen. Shields, and Brigadier Gen, Thomas L.
Crittenden, of Kentucky.
Welles has ordered from blockading Cap
tains, fnll reports up to this time, in assist*
aiioeto the Naval Committee, Senate ordered
to be sent to investigate.
Horatio King, Buchanan’s Postmaster Gen
eral, has been nominated Commissioner under
the District act, vice Berrett.
Mr. Sumner expects the passage of his bill
establishing diplomatic relations with Hayti
and Liberia to-morrow. TTis speech advocat
ing the bill was purely upon commercial and
international grounds.
Confiscation was the theme in both Houses
to-day. The vole on Mr. Bingham’s bill is
not decisive. Some Republicans feared an
acknowledgement of property in slaves by the
United States courts under it. The debates
and votes all helped to the ultimate success
of confiscation. Mr. Lovejoy has the floor
to-morrow. In the Senate, Davis of Kentucky
took three hours more time to tell whit he
thought about confiscation. Mr. Sliermaa
followed him, declaring himself in favor of
arming slaves, even as a last resort. Mr. Col
lamerof Yt. speaks to-morrow.
The tax bill will be reported to the Senate
next week, or week after. The oaly changes
so far are that malt liquors arc doubled, be
ing taxed two dollars a barrel Instead of one
whisky is to be taxed as in the House bill,
except that some tax (it is unsettled what) is
to be laid on that on hand at the time the hill
goes Into operation.
The result of the Republican caucus was the
adoption of a policy for confiscation. The
Select Committee to be appointed will be
strongly for that measure.
[To the Associated Press.!
Washington*, April 23.—The bill repoiled
from the Commit lee ou Military Affurs au
thorizes the President to convene a Board to
consist of two officers of the Corps of Engi
neers, one Ordnance officer, one Artillery, two
officers of the Navy, two members selected by
reason of their scientific and practical attain
ments, and an officer of the Corps of Engi
neers as Secretary, whose duty it shall be to
examine and consider onrsystem of aea co nt
and lake fortlficcations with official reference to
such changes as may be recommended by the
commission, to be commenced and prosecut
ed without the previous assent of Congress.
The bill further provides that the amount ap
propriated at this session for fortifications,
shall be expended under the direction of the
President upon such defensive works as shall
be recommended by the commission, and
authorizes the President to accept any
sums of money loaned or advanced
by the several States for the
construction of defensive works fur the pro
tection of the States making such loans, upon
such terms as shall be agreed on between the
proper authorities. The Board is also requir
ed to examine und consider the propriety of
constructing a navy yard and depot on*the
Noithorn lakes; of a foundry for heavy
ordnance, and also an armory and
arsenal of construction west of the
Allyghjiny mountains, and for an ad
d tioi-al arsenal of deposit and repair, and
shall be subject to the approval of the Presi
dent, to locate the same at such points as shall
from purely millt >ry consideoations appear
b.-st for the defense of the count ry.Thc bill also
provides That there shall be addedto the tuna-
Dtr of cadets at both, the military and naval
academy, a number equal to the number
allowed by tbe already existing laws
in those schools, which are to be
selected one from each of the Congressional
Districts and Territories by the Academic
Board from among such applicants as shall
apply for admission, and who, upon examina
tion, shall be deemed best qualified, provided
the number added shall have the expense de
frayed by parents or guardians, who shall be
required to deposit with the Superintendents
of the Academies each year, the estimated
amount of money necessary to pay all expen
ses for one year; the Cadets being subject to
all the rules and regulations established from
time to time for the Government of said Acad
emies.
It is now said the visit of the French Minis*
ter to Richmond, has no political importance,
but is ou business connected with the Consul
ates. He returned to-day. His dispatches
went to New York, where a steamer is wait
ingto take them to France.
WASHINGTON, April 23.—The Finance Com
mittee of the Senate has done with the ma
chinery sections of the tax bill, having made
such amendments as in its judgment were cal
culated to perfect the system adopted by the
House. An effort was made to raise the tax
on whisky and other distilled spirits to twen
ty-five cents per gaHon, but the Committee re
tained it at fifteen cents. The Committee de
cides to impose some change on stock on
hand on the 30th of June, when the act is to
go into operation, but left it to a snb-commit
•lee to decide how much it should be. The
tax on beer and other fermented liquors will
be two dollars per barrel instead of one dol
lar. No other noteworthy changes have yet
been made.
Chas. A. Dana, of New York, has been ap
pointed by Secretary Stanton one of the Com
missioners to investigate the war accounts at
Cairo.
Prof. Bache and Mr. Westervelt have de
clined to serve on the Board appointed to ex
amine the “Stevens battery.”

LATE NEWS FROM MEMPHIS.
Preparations to Resist Attack
IRON-PLATED GUNBOATS
BUILDING.
Gen. Bragg Commands at
A gentleman has just arrived from Memphis
with a copy of the Memphis Appeal of the
17lhinst., from which I am allowed to extract
the following:
In an editorial devoted to the needs of the
Mississippi valley, while acknowledging the
danger of the success of the Federal flotilla,
the Appeal advises the emyloyment of every
one, black and white, to the extent of his
ability, for the defense of that endangered
stronghold, and advocates the construction of
the most approved description ot gunboats.
It says: “ Whatever can be done with wood
and iron, and brain and muscle, must be done,
and done expediously.”
The fearful mortality of Confederate officers
in the recent battles of the. West, Is explained
by the fact that the enemy’have organized
bodies of sharp-shooters, whose “assigned
duty” it is to pick off all men appearing on
the field with plumes and epaulette. The Ap
peal therefore advises the organiza
tion of similar bodies in rebcldom.
The Federals had made no demonstrations
on the line of the Memphis and Ohio Rail
road, between Memphis and Union City.
This road is operated to Trenton, only about
ten miles from Hambolt.
Capt. Boukbead, commanding Boukliead’s
Confederate Battery, went into tbe Shiloh
battle with six pieces and brought out twelve.
A report was current at Memphis, by way
of Corinth, that the Federals had abandoned
the town.
Gen’l Prentiss surrendered himself person
ally to Private Simons of Captain Bethel’s
Co. of the 22d Tenn. regiment, who conducted
Lim to CoL Freeman, the CoL receiving his
sword turned to introduce him to his regi
ment. When the regiment discovered the
quality of their captive, they vociferously
cheered him. Gen. Prentiss graciously ac
knowledged the compliment by doffing his
hat, and in the politest manner possible said,
“Bo}s, yon have a right to shout for you
have fought like tigers.” The Appeal
says that the Confederate losses are enor
mously exaggerated. The killed will not ex
ceed 1,000; their wounded 5,00f; and their
prisoners 800; and it ascribes their defeat to
whisky found in the Federal encampments on
Sunday night.
Beauregard was not wounded, as reported
by the Federal press.
The remains of Gen. A. S. Johnston, after
laying in state two days in the City Hall, were
on Monday, the 14th inst., placed in the vault
of the St. Lonis cemetery of New Orleans.
Our informant left Memphis on the 17th,
and on a pass managed to reach Humboldt,
where he received safe conduct to Trenton,
the present tei minus of the Memphis and Ohio
R. R. From here he walked to Union City,
and Hickman, There are no forces of either
belligerent at Union City. From Hickman he
came to this city on the DeSoto. He repre
sents the existence of Union sentiments at
Memphis and says it is all bosh. Since the
passage of the conscription bill by the Confed
erate Congress all males between IS and 35
have Joined the army. There Is no impressment.
The people enter upon this service with
zeal and ardor. Business is almost entirely
suspended, except in that class of goods need*
ed for the army. Confederate money is cur
rent and readily taken at par in exchange for
goods. There is no other money afloat.
Three gunboats were being consti acted at
Memphis, two of which, Jibe Arkansas and
Beauregard, wenld be finished in a week; the
other would require a month to complete it
The “ Arkansas” is plated with two thick
nesses of railroad iron placed transversely,
and is alone considered more than a match
for the combined Federal flotilla. The “Beau
regard is a wooden boat with thirty inches of
compressed cotton placed between heavy
wooden timbers 18 inches thick, making a re
sistance to our shot of over five feet of wood
and cotton. This they also consider impreg
nable.
The rebels are thoroughly informed as to
the construction of our boats, and think they
hare discovered and averted their weak
points. They (the above two) arc built
upon a different model, are long and narrow,
famished with engines of enormous power,
with all the modem improvements and provid
ed with the prow ala Mcrrioiac.
He reports 18,000 infantry in the rear of
Chickasaw Bluffs, aud they daily throw up in
trcnchments to provide against anticipated
attack in the rear. The country back
of the bluffs is now inundated.
Gen. Bragg is at Corinth.
Gcu. Price is to take command of Fort Pil
low.
At Memphis the burning of the city is still
discussed. The general impression seems to
be that it will cot be attempted. Cotton, to
bacco, molasses and sugar is gathered in enor
mous piles upon the levee, and will be con
signed to the flames upon tbc appearance.of
the Federal fleet above Memphis.

Island No. 10 is to be fortified in accordance
with plans from the War Department.
The De Soto brings no intelligence of inters

Indian the Overland
Salt Lake, April 22.—The Indians have
stolen the stock from nearly every station be
tween Laramie and Bridger, killed several
men, burned the stations, and threaten the
entire destruction of the Overland Mail Com
pany’s property. The Company, in conse
quence, is concentrating their employees and
property at a few stations, for protection, and
have sbaudoned all attempts to carry the mail
for the present.
San Francisco, .April 22.—The Indians are
again showing symptoms of hostilities on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. A party
of whites were killed by them on the 13th,
S e f x T 0 , Rlver >' m Esmeralda district of
Salt Lake. It is reported they have destroyed
several mail stations and stolen much; also
thar they have killed several employees of the
overland mail company. The mails are tem
porarily stopped.and the telegraph lines are li
able to destruction any moment. A regiment
of California volunteers, now in this State
should bo ordered to duty on the prairies at
once.

New York, April 23.—The Post says the
rumors in regard to the conduct of the ac

Warwick River, appeared to have no founda
tion. Not only is he one of the most
temperate men in the army, but we have the
authority of a private dispatch, from Gen.
McClellan, for saying that on the occasion
alluded to, he gallantly and skillfully gained

Washington, April 53,1882.
SENATE.
Mr. TRUMBULL of Illinois, from the Ju
diciary Committee, reported a resolution in.
relation to the pay of the first Senators and
Representatives from the State of Minnesota,
which was passed.
Mr. HALE of New Hampshire offered a res
olution that the Military Committee inquire
if any General in the army before Torktown
had exhibited himself drunk in the lace of the
enemy, and if any measures had been taken
for the trial and punishment of such officer.
Mr. SUMNER of Massachusetts suggested
the subject be referred to the Committee on
the Conduct of the War.
Mr. HALE reierred to the statement of Mr.
Morrill in the House yesterday, aud stated
that he thought it high time that some notice
should be taken of these things. If officers
thus leave brave men to be slaughtered like
beasts, no punishment is too great for them.
Mr. FOSTER of Connecticut said the Sen
ate had not taken high ground enough.
The Senate never should have confirmed'
men known to be intemperate. It becomes
ns to weed out own garden first, and correct
our own laxity, and” he was pained to say
criminality. In this respect.
Mr. FOOT of Vermont said that the General
referred to had not been confirmed.
Mr. HALF, said that the Senate had not taV
en high ground enough, but if officers were
so drunk that they could not sit on the£
horses, he thought some notice ought to vc
taken of it.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky, introduced a bjfi
prescribing an additional oath for Grand aid
Petit Jurors in the U. S. Courts.
The bill recognizing the independence \of
Hayti and Liberia, aud the-appointment of a
diplomatic representation, was taken up. N
Mr. SUMNER ot Massachusetts, said th!sb
far our Government, usually friendly to new
governments, had turned aside from these na
tions. He thought that it was time to put ia
end to this anomaly in history.
Mr. SUMNER continued his speech in favor
of the recognition of Hayti and Liberia,-and
concluded by saying that by recognizing these
two nations we only tardily follow the exam
ple of the principal nations of the world.
The bill was then postponed until to-mor
row, and the confiscation btll was then token
up. •
Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky resumed his re
marks in opposition to the bill. He said that
he had already detained the Senate at some
length on this question, but be considered
that in the importance of its effect the bill
had no parallel. He contended that Congress
had no right to pass such a bill under the war
•power.
Mr. SHERMAN of Ohio offered an amend
ment specifying persons to whom confiscation
should apply. Including those who may here
after hold office under the rebels.
DOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House resumed the consideratlonof the
confiscation hill, which was pending when the
adjournment took place yesterday, and upon
which the main question had been ordered.
The bill was tabled by a vote of 54 agaidst 43.
The next bill taken up in the House was to
facilitate the suppression of the rebellion and
prevent the recurrence of the same. It author
izes the President to direct our Generate to de
clare the slaves of the rcbls free, aud pledges
the faith of the United Slates to make Mi and
fair compensation to loyal men who have ac
tively supported the Union, for any losses
they may sustain by virtue of this hill,
Mr. OLIN, of New York, understood that
the Committee on Judiciary had agreed sub
stantially that none of the confiscation bills
referred to them ought to pass.
Mr. THOMAS, of Massachusetts, remarked
that the Committee recommended that none
of the confiscation bills pass. :
Mr. OLIN said that the disposition of the
House and the country was that there should
be tome legislatlpn on the subject As the
Committee on Judiciary could not.agree on
the matter, he proposal that a Select Com
mittee of seven be appointed to take the sub
ject into consideration. Such a committee
being untrammelled, the House might antici
pate a proper measure of legislation.
Mr. DUNN of Indiana was glad to-hear Mr.
OUN’S suggestion. The subject of confis
cating rebel property was one of the most dif
ficult questions before Congress, and in the
decision of which was involved tbcuestoration
of the Government to its former state of pros
perity. He congratulated the House and
country that this morning there had been laid
upon ibe table a bill which, if it bad been
passed, would have disgraced the civilization
ol this age. [Exclamations on the Democratic
side of “Good,” “Good,” “ That’s so.”] It
was a bill which at one fell swoop would
have impoverished the people generally, from
old age down to innocent childhood.
Mr. COLFAX of Indiana advocated the ap
pointment of a select committee.
Mr. DUNN was opposed to a sweeping con
fiscation bilL He wanted a distinction made
afihiost the leaders.
Mr. BINGHAM of Ohio Tnaintejpcd the pro
priety of a bill to punish all willful rebels by
depriving them of their property.
Mr. LEHMAN of Pennsylvania was opposed
to confiscation bills. He looked ou the march
of our armies as the proper mode of suppress
ing the rebellion and re-establishing the Con
stitution.
Mr. HICKMAN of Pennsylvania claimed
that the Constitution gave the President ample
power without congressional action.
Mr. CRITTENDEN of Kentucky was against
all confiscating measures which would tend to
exasperate the war and postpone the time of
putting down the rebellion.
After further debate, without action, the
House adjourned.
REFUGEES FROM NORFOLK.
What they Sayof the Situation, of
Thiugß»Tho Mcrrlmac In Dock—
Rew Gunboats Being iSade Beady.
Fortress Mon-roe, April 23.—A small boat
arrived to-day from Norfolk, containing sev
eral refugees. They report the Merrimac at
Gosport Navy Yard, having iron shields placed
o>er port holes. She was expected out again
in a lewdays. She was aground on the last
day out, as generally supposed. Nothing is
said in Norfolk about her having
bursted one of her guns, and it is
doubtless incorrect. Captain Buchanan is
thought to be alive, but was wounded by a
rifle shot in the thigh.
The steamers Jamestownandßeaufort went
up the James River ou Friday, and returned
to Torklown on Sunday, to obtain coal.
They took in tow a number of schooners
loaded with iron to be rolled into plates at
the Tredegar works.
Four gunboats have been launched at Nor
folk, and four more are constructing, some of
tbuu to be plated.
As previously reported, an engagement be
tween Bnnirtde’s troops and a Georgia regi
ment took place on Saturday. The Union
tir ops numbered 500; the rebels were the 31
Georgia regiment, Col. Wright. The fight
was on the canal above Elizabeth City. The
rebels lest 15 killed and S5 wounded, and it is
said they run on being attacked- They were
pooily equipped, and lacked arms and ammu
nition.
Kelugefs who visited Richmond last week,
stale that thtre are few troops there or at Nor
folk. They have mostly gone to Yorktown.
It is said that 14,000 passed through Rich
mond in one day, for Yorktown.
One of the refugees was sailor on, the
steamer Flegal. He left Savanna March Ist;
reports great consternation there. The Fin
gal and other vessels in the harbor were ready
to be burned or sunk. The troops in the vi
cinity of Savannah were dying in large num
bers. The city might have been easily taken
at the time of the first landing at Port Royal.
