IDE ELECTION, The returns ginng the vote on the new constitution look more healthy; indeed, there is a chance that the infamous swindle is defeated. We advise our friends, how ever, not to he over-confident, and espe cially not to bet on the result—a practice voider all circumstances to be discouraged cud condemned. It is due to the good name of Chicago cud lo the other parts of the State, that some explanation should be made why our d’y vote was so meagre. Among other tilings, it should be remembered that no city in the Union has suffered so sensibly from 44 stump-laiT’ currency as Chicago. The changes were rung on that all over the city, and too many of our people were made lo believe that the new constitution would hereafter save them from all such disasters. At an immense meeting cn Monday night, "Wentworth the arch d'-voßgogue and author of some of the infamous sections in the swindle, pulled from one pocket a handful of gold, cud from another a handful of torn, greasy bib?, and called upon every man to vote so that he would always get his pay in p .ld. ‘ I vole for the coin,” said his J.-.uiribincss. The effect of such appeals P. Ib-re an audience who had suffered so murh. humbugged though they be. can be easily understood. The people forgot that tiny were cheated by a defective Demo cratic banking law, and by the rebellion of Democratic States. Many foreigners voted for the thing, in erder that in a single year their friends might become naturalized. The Irishmen were assured by the crowd that if they voted for it the Police Commissioners would be ousted, and nearly eveiy moth er's sou of them would he put on the police. Hard working mechanics were assured that their vote for the constitution, would secure the the coveted “Mechan ic s’ lien.” By specious falsehoods like these, joined to an apathy and personal unconcern among many real opponents of the measure those aspects were given to the result which called for our comments yesterday. We shall be glad to amend them on suffi cient data, and it is now enough to say that the glorious work donehy the rural dis tricts puts this apparently nearer die range c>f possibility than any of the Chicago op ponents of the Constitution could have im agined at the hist view of the returns of the evening following the election. A few days will tell the story, and in the mean time doubt must prevail sufficient to re press further jubilation on either side until the result is known. mu.. BIGGLES’ HEnomiL. The memorial of lion, Samuel B. Hag gles of 2scw York to the President, detail ing facts and urging reasons in favor of cnlaruugthe locks of the Erie canal so as to pass vessels of war to and from the lakes, will he found ou the third page. It Was transmitted to Congress by the Presi dent on Saturday, asking for it that degree of consideration which its “ obvious and unquestionable importance ” demands. The object of the distinguished author of the memorial is to nationalize our canals, and by an elaborate collection of statistics, cf historical facts and incidents, and argu ments that cannot- be questioned, he has made the case so clear and convincing that Conutess has little more to do than simply jo pass the law, to complete a work so emi nently national, and necessary to our safety and commercial prosperity. Mr. Jluirgleshas shown that .he understands and fully appreciates the present extent and prospective resources of the West. The document is well worty of careful perusal and preservation by all our readers. RDIAJfA FOR THE UNION. TVc kucw it before, and the country knew it, that Bright and Voorhees no more repre sented the Booster State than did Lucifer the celestial World after being thrown ever its battlements; Indiana has too good find glorious a record ia the war fortbat. And yet it is cheering to hear the clear note she sounds lor the Union, as shown in our full dispatch elsewhere of the grand Union convention at Indianapolis yester day. Party issues arc lost ia the ardor of patriotism, and hut one policy is put forward The Vigorous PnosFxmoK op the war, and the CONFIGN PUNISHMENT OF TRAITORS. Let this he the watchword throughout the Isorth, andlet our Government understand that to this the people pledge their lives and their fortunes. The startling plot of home traitors in Indiana is brought to in the right place. The men who withhold sympathy from this holy war must pay their share of the bills, and when the tax collector conies round, the county jails will hold all the conspirators who are disposed to evade payment, unless they prove too weak to resist the disposition of the people to hang all home rebels to the nearest trees. Disloyalty in Indiana will hedongeious. AN EBTIMITE AND COMPARISON.

Wc make the following estimate of the j-esult in the above districts for and against the new constitution at the election on Tuesday lost. The returns from the five Southern District* are so meagre that we can only guess at the result.

We estimate the probable result in the remaining districts as follows: oihDist, 3,000 majority for It; Clh do., 5,000; 7th do., 3,8C0; Sth do., 4,200 ; 9th do., 9,009. Total! 35,000 forthe Swindle. Perhaps the Sth District will give more than the num ber assigned lo it, but we think not, and -we have strong doubts whether the Blh •will go above 3,500. We think the'questioa islcfc for the soldiersto decide, and if they are not disfranchised, but are allowed to Vote their sentiments, and their votes are counted, the swindle will be defeated.

Gcn-Hullcck deserves the gratitude of the loyal press for having previously re jnoved representatives safely beyond contamination from his evil example in making up the dispatches following the evacuation of Corinth, for no respectable newspaper would wish to see engendered in its correspondents such willful disregard of frets. Granted that it was desirable to let the public down gradually to the truth that a thin line of pickets and a Sew trumpery field pieces had held our grand army back for weeks after the great skedaddle had begun; and to grade VOLUME XV. of liy degrees tlie Abrupt step between tbo sriblime looking for battle and the ridicu lous bunt after an enemy whose very tracks were cold—granted all thU t why tell the people in an official dispatch that Gen. Pope had the enemy all in his eye, and had bagged 10,000 of them to begin with, when the facts were that nothing ever occurred lo warrant any such assertion, and not elsewhere was this better known than at headquarters. It is all coming to light now, and in no way more surely than by letters from officers and soldiers which nu merously reach ns, denying and ridiculing the larger share of what has formed the burden of official dispatches from up the Tennessee since the evacuation. Chagrin is very natural and proper, hut the fate of Ananias and Sapphira has set a solemn seal on the crime that miserable couple ex piated. THE ELECTION RETURNS CRAWFORD COUNTS’.

UNION CON VENTION. THE HOOSIEBS FOR THE UNION. ORGANIZATION AND SPIRIT OF THE RALLY. Startling Eebel Plot Brought to Light. Indiana is for the War and the Union. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Indianapolis, June 18,1663. The Indiana moss Union convention met this morning in the State House grounds. It was called to order by CoL Bose, U. S. Mar shal. Judge John E. Elliot was"made tem porary President, A committee of one from each congressional district was appointed to report permanent officers. It was moved that a committee be appointed of two from each district, on resolutions. All resolutions prepared by caucusses were presented end referred to this com- While the commit- mittce without debate. tees were out Hon. Henry Secrist Doug las (Democrat) made a stirring speech, utterly ignoring party and party issues, pledging Indiana for men and money, without stint, to carry on the war. Hie attack upon the Infa mous Voorhees and Bright faction was most scathing and received with thunders of ap plause hy the vast crowd. He closed with a stirring appeal to the people, bidding them to crush out secession traitors in North and South , and rally around the glorious Union. The committee on permanent organization reported, Gov. Morton, chairman, with nine teen vice presidents and eleven secretaries. Gov. Morton took the chair and made a most eloquent speech. In the course of which he read a letter from Hon. James Hughes of Bloomington announcing the starting fact that secret organizations had been formed in Brown county for the purpose of resisting the national tav, and that similar socie ties were forming in other parts of the State. He called upon the conventionand people to put them down. He was responded to most enthusiastically in the affirmative. A letter from Gov. Wright, written from Wash ington, was read, sympathizing with the ob jects of the convention. The committee on resolutions was organized by appointing two from each congressional district and four from the State at large. In balloting for officers it was determined to allow one vote for every 200 voters, and one vote for each fraction of 100 in each county. In the afternoon, prior to the opening of the convention, William A. Bickle, Martin M. Bay, Cob Hlec of the 10th Indiana regiment, and T. N. Stillwell, all Democrats, made most 6turing war speeches, taking ground that, while not in favor of Congress legislating on slavery, it must take the chances of the war, i and rebels must take care ot their negroes as j best they could. The Democratic party had 1 crawled upon their belly and eaten dirt long enough for slavery. Balloting for candidates resulted In the fol lowing nominations: Secretary of State—V>m A. Peele. State Auditor—Albert Lange, j Slate Treasurer— Jonathan S. Harvey. 1 Si-T-erinUndeut of Public Instniciion—J. J. Mor- I rison. Atlomey General— D. It. Williamson. Both the latter are Democrats; the balance are Republicans renominated. After the nominations were made, the cam- mlltee ou resolutions made a report, which ■was adopted without dehate. The resolutions declare that the war was forced upoa the country hy Southern diounionlsts with out cause; that the people of Indiana pledge themselves to provide men and money* lor the vigorous prosecution of the war. That the war ought notto cease until the rebellion Is entirely crushed out. That the people ex pect an economical administration and con dign punishment of fraud against the govern ment. That the people of Indiana tender their , profound sympathy to Union soldiers every where, and their warm gratitude to the In diana troops, and that while they are conquer ing southern traitors, the people will condemn at the ballot box all who arc not forthe Union unconditionally. . The resolutions were adopted with tremend- ; ons enthusiasm, and after a stirring speech from Gov. Morton and addresses from, the candidates, the convention adjourned “to meet at the polls,” with three times three for the ticket, the constitution and the Union. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout the entire convention, and not a political dif ference was brought up. The union is now complete and the new ticket will carry the State like wildlire. The opposition to the Bright faction Is In tense and universal. The convention previ ous to adjournment moved that the governor appoint a State central committee. They will be announced shortly, and will speedily and vigorously commence the canvass. Dem ocrats and Republicans alike are animated by one motive, and will harmoniously work hand in hand. ♦The Democratic caucus and the leaders were radical to an extent which will astound the tender-footed Chicago Democracy. One of them proposes after the war is over, to hang Davis, Slidell, Yancey and all the lead ing traitors, and will accept no other alterna tive. Another said, “If this rebellion cannot be put down without the abolition of slavery, let slavery slide.” None of them had any terms or compromise of any description. Another said It mnst be war to the knife and the knife to the hilt. This is the feeling of unconditional Union Democracy. FROM THE SHENANDOAH, THE VOORHEES SLANDER REFUTED, [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. Washinoton, June IS, 1862. The facts about -which Voorheos 1 story that Gen. TVtTtteH bad famished daring the late re treat transportation to negroes when there were sick and wounded soldiers, arose on the following, and has no other foundation what ever. . General Banks while with the rear guard on . the march between Martinsburg and Wil liamsburg, noticed three black women with a child seven years old scarcely able to move walking in the same direction. He humanely asked them how far they had walked and they replied from Winchester, twenty-five miles. Pitying the child, he ordered a coimoncer to let her ride on a caisson, which he did. If the Yoorhces and Yallandigham party wish this for capital against Republicans let them make the most of it. Various Rumors From Rebel Sources. [Special Dirpatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Cairo, June IS, 1552 i There has come to hand via Memphis a dis patch from Richmond of June 18, which says the Federate have evacuated Harrlsonbnrgh and fallen back down the valley. v Cannonading was heard this afternoon in the direction of MechanicaviUc. No battle Is expected, yet the aspect along the line Is un changed. June 14.—A dispatch to the Examiner says a recent arrival from Norfolk states that a Federal regiment ordered to reinforce Mc- Clellan, had returned, and sixty-two men were shot before obedience was restored. The same informant states that sixteen. English war vessels, four of which were iron clad, had arrived in Hampton Roads. The cause of thevbit isnuknown.

Gen Pope and staff arrived on the evening of tbe ICth from Corinth- As we have intimat ed heretofore in onr dispatches, it turns out that the statement that 10,000 prisoners were captured by Gen. Pope is nothing but an ele gant fiction on the part of Gen. Select, or made under a mistaken Idea as to facts. A few prisoners, probably 300, were captured, but nothing like the number stated. Memphis, June 16—S a. m. Thercris no news yet from down the river, no boat having arrived from that vicinity. The cily was rather active yesterday, the levee crowded with people. There was a number of Arrivals from the north of steamers loaded with provisions and dry goods, boots, shoes, etc. Several capitalists from above also are pres ent, preparing to enter into business here. Memphis Is to he the grand centre of busi ness, military and financial, for some time to come. A great sensation was created here by a re port of the rebels that Gen. McClellan has met with a defeat before Richmond. The Ava lanche believes the story. It emanated from Grenada. A letter from that centre of rebeldom and bogus dispatches announces that Beauregard 1 s army is in most excellent order as regards health, morals and equipment,* and that all ru mors about its disorganizations are ridicu lously false and absurd. The following is Col. Slack’s reply to the Mayor: HeauqtabtebslT. S. Forces, [ MeNHHIS, TENS., June 14, i«jH. } Hon. John Park Mayor; 6iu: Tae communication received from you in behalf of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Memphis, has been most respect fully conti/ii red, and flue weight given to all the arguments you have made. The destitution and distress of which you speak, it strike me, will be much more likely to effect very different classes than those to whom you refer. It is a fact the truth of which 1 presume will not be questioned, that the so-called Confederate State? issued nearly all their notes In bills of the denomination of of fiftv and twenty dollars. From this fact I con clude that the laboring classes of your city, those who arc dependent upon their daily toil for a sub sistence, are not found with any large amount in their possestion,and rumors In fact,to which you allude, will strike a different class altogether. The calamity of haring to throw out so deprecia ted a cum-ncy to which you refer will comenpon the people sooner or la er, and I see no rea-on why il mav not as Wellcome now as sixty days hence. Those who have beennetive iuget ir.g np this wicked rebellion, are individuals whose pockets arc lined with Confederate notes, and if sixty davs time should be given them, it is only civing that much time for those who are responsi ble fur its issue to get rid cf it without loss and tho worthless trash will be fonndin the hands of the unsuspicious and credulous, who have always teen dnpes of designing Shylocks, by Inducing them to accept of a circulating medium which was issued to aid in the destruction of the first and beat governments ever known to civllizatlon,uevcr will by any act of mine or failure to discharge any duty imposed upon me as that which will directly or remotely contribute to tho downfall of the govern ment of mv country. Nor will I permit to be done that which*would tend to such an unholy purpose. Should confederate notes he permitted to be used a* a circulating medium wberethe fla? of the Uni ted States floats, so far as an act of that coild give character to such treasonable currency It would do so and thus tho very basis of rebellion be made respectable by con tact with the government It seeks to destroy, an act which I stall in no instance be found aiding or abetting. With an ardent hope thtt you have mistaken legitimate results of the effect to he pro duced upon citizens whom you represent, I am compelled to say there is nothing in your argu ments which I can see that will Induce me to change or modifying the terms of. general order No. 3, but shall insist upon its rigid enforcement. 1 have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully. Tour obedient servant, Jos R. Slack, Col. Commanding. The Avalanche also presents further reasons why Col. Slack should modify his order No. S, suppressing confederate notes. It acknowledges that Gen. Butler’s course in New Orleans killed that currency as far as its availability in the Confederate Government is concerned; but the act was less sudden— giving time to procure a substitute, hence It did not produce the utter destruction among thousands which a sudden stoppage must have done. The case of Capt. Cheek charged with the murder of John P, Bemon, has been conclu ded by the military authorities. Capt. Davis and Col. Fitch make a report this morning. The military commission, con sisted of Capt. A. M. Florery of the 4fith In diana regiment, Lieut. Wm. C. Magill and Lieut. Ashford Burley of the 43d Indiana, and acting Lieut. A. B. Ewing of the 4Gth, re corder. The testimony did not seem to im plicate Capt. Cheek in the crime. He is there fore ordered to bo discharged, it being expressly understood that such discharge is not to be in any wise plead by him in bar of future proceedings before the tribunals of the country. This decision appears to give gen eral satisfaction. The Canton Mississippi Com.monvx'ilth of a late date says that a portion of Gen. Level's command, under Col. Wm. R. Miles, stationed near Port Gibson, engaged two of the enemy’s gunboats at four o'clock on the morning of 1 the 9Ui, and after a brisk engagement of about one hour succeeded in driving the enemy oft Three or four citizens were yesterday ar rested for insnlting soldiers while in the per formance of their duty. A Presbyterian clergyman (not Rev. Dr. Grundy, who is another kind ©f a man), preached yesterday prayed for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Con federacy. He also said, that although now in the hands of the enemy, God would in future smile upon* all loyal rebels. The ministers annels Collins. All Adams’ express packages for Hilleck’s army have been sent to this place, where their owners can receive them. We have received intelligence from the White river rcconnoitering expedition to the evening of the 15th. This expedition left Memphis on the 13th inst., supposed to be bound for Vicksburg, On the 14th, the expe dition reached the month of White River, without meeting any serious abuse. When the fleet come in sight.of Helena, I Arkansas, a rebel steamer was discovered, which, upon our approach, took to flight and made the quickest kind of time up White • River. We followed—but, like the confede rates, she proved too fleet to be overtaken. She had two hours start of us. At this town information was received that other steamers 1 were inlodianaßay, the mouth of which was said to be obstructed by sunken logs, with transports and the unfinished iron-dad gun boat Arkansas, which, it was 'rumored, was intended to show fight. When near White River, but twenty-five miles above its mouth, the steamer which es caped-us at Helena was captured. She proved to be the Clara Dolson, a fine craft, worth at least $75,000. She was owned by Mr. Dolson, of Kew Orleans, and a steamboat captain from St. Louis, whose name has not transpired. When captured she had on hoard 200 bales of cotton. She was taken In charge by a crew from the Mound City, and sent to Memphis. It has been definitely ascertained that the rebel steamer Tan Dom has escaped up the Arkansas River by way of the White River cut-off. A gunboat has started in pursuit, and I confidently expect to announce her speedy capture. The gunboat Sterling Price is expected at Cairo hourly. Cairo, June 18—Major General Pope and staff passed through here night before last, on his way to Su Louis. He has a short leave of absence. The steamer New Undo Sam arrived this mofning from Pittsburg Landing with 350 prisoners taken near Corinth. They will be Liken to St Louis, thence to Camp Douglas. The work on the railroad.between Colum bus and Humboldt Is progressing rapidly. The road would have been in operation last Saturday, but on Friday nleht rebel guerrillas succeeded M destroying abridge over one of the tributaries of the Obion river, •which will require gome days to repair before trains can pass over in safety. A handcar through from Corinth arrived at Columbus on Monday. • The captured rebel gunboats Bragg aud Sumter are being repaired at the navtd depot. The work Is progressing rapidly. Tbey will be ready in a few days. Gen. Strong was accidentally shot through the arm this afternoon, by the premature dis charge of arcvolverln tbe hand of aclerkiu'hia office, which both were examining, supposing it was not loaded. The ball toot off the thumb ot the person holding it, and passed* through Gen. Strong’s arm, aud made a slight flesh wound in bis side. The oath of allegiance was administered to nearly 300 persons yesterday, of whom about half were rebel officers and soldiers. One of our tugs captured the rebel steamer Doleon, near the mouth of White River, on Sunday. Memphis, June 16, rfa Cateo June 18.— CoL Slack’s order, suppressing the circula tion ot Confederate scrip, baa created the most intense excitement here. .Some of the more rampant secessionists openiy threatened an outbreak yesterday, but the bristle of Union bayonets will be apt to cool their erdor. The mayor and common conndl have had an interview with the commanding officer, and requested him to moke some modification of his order. He will answer them to-day. The rebel steamer Little Bar, engaged in burning cotton on the Hatchle Rlvcr, was captured last Friday by one of dhr tugs. She was brought down here on Saturday. Cant. Check, arrested last Monday for al leged participation in hanging a Union man in Arkansas last fall, has been by a military commission and discharged, the evi dence being Insufficient to hold mm. The levee begins to present quito a lively appearance. It is filled with stores and forage for Government aud private consumption.

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL The Rebel Raid in McClel lan’s Bear. THE SCSSDii.OUS NEGLECT OF OUR WOUNDED. [Note— The following should have appeared in' our last issue, but was detained by the storm:] [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, June 17, 1832. Letters from the peninsula, dated Saturday, state that the rebels, In their raid on the While House Railroad, Saturday, captured a large number of mules and wagons, besides burning a bridge, firing into cars, and killing and wounding some fifty soldiers, and burn ing two vessels. Henceforward the railroad will be guarded. Letters from Stono Inlet say: “ Loyal Charlestonians ot dark complexion” are flocking by hundreds witbiu our lines. Tie committee of conference on the tax bill have agreed to twenty cents per gallon on whisky, and to a reduction of taxes on to bacco below the Ate fixed by the Senate, bat not to those fixed by the House. Senator Harlan and Representative Wilson of lowa, with Col. Miller and Capt. Gregg, officers paroled to effect a general ex change of prisoners, presented to the Presi dent, to-day, a petition signed by 103 mem bers (Representatives) and thirty-seven Sena tors, asking that measures be taken to secure the general exchange. The President ex pressed gratification to know the views of a majority of the members of Congress, and assured his visitors he would take steps to effect the desired end, and started for the War Department, as was understood, with the view of doitg so immediately. A EtiUkivtit number of menrilTS feel bound to vole for Mr. Porter’s bill, and to defeat all amendments. Tbe United States Marshal of New York, under orders from the Navy Department, has released 120 prisoners, of whom many are foreigners. Of these, ninety per cent, are Englishmen. Dr. Chancing, of the Unitarian Church, offered the building to the War Department, and it was accepted for use as a hospital. The transformation is already taking place. Mr. Spaulding supported in the House, to day, the new Treasury .Note bill, as a war measure. After his speech, the question was postponed till to-morrow. The bill will pass, but, probably with amendments authorizing the issue of twenty five millions, in notes of denominations less than five dollars. The House passed the amendment to the bill excluding slavery from the Territories adopted hy the Senate, and it only requires the President’s signature to become a law. The Agricultural College bill, passed by the Senate, also passed the House to-day. The Republican Senators had an informal caucus to-day, at which views were inter changed touching the present condition of the country,-and some talk about the order of business. No conclusion was arrived at. Rev. D. B. Nichols, formerly superintendent of the reform school at Chicago, is appointed superintendent of the “fugitive blacks” here, by General Wadsworth. [The following completes ocx dispatch lefc an Unit-bed by the storm.] Short work was made with Surgeon D. L. Hays of the 110 th Pennsylvania who left up ward of 300 wounded soldiers from Gen. Shield’s division, who were in his charge, in the cars over Saturday night, while he himself went to bed at Willard’s. He admitted these facts when called before the Secretary of War this morning, but pleaded that he had vainly sought to find any official in Washington to tell him what disposition to make of the wounded. The Secretary having heard Mm through, said, in a tone calculated to impress his hearer: u That a man who could be guilty of such inhumanity was a disgrace to the ar my and the country, and should be forthwith dismissed from the service, and advised him to leave the room and the Department in stantly.” Had he not done so Ms movements would have been accelerated by* the tbrong in attendance at the Department, whose verdict was that the Secretary had served him right. The friends of Dr. Hays chum that be was bo more to blame than officials here, who, although advised that the train was to arrive, were not present to direct Mm what to do with the soldiers. But the truth is that the telegram to this effect, if sent, failed to arrive, in consequence of the storm, and neither the Surgeon General nor any of bis subordinates here was apprised of the ar rival of tbe soldiers, nor can any defense re lieve Dr. Hays from the charge that he pro aided himself with a comfortable bed, while leaving tbe soldiers boxed up in the cars, without food or attendance. The Surgeon General, in a note to the Secretary of War, desired him to make an example of this as a warning to others. The whole of the facts of this disgraceful transaction will be brought out in tbe report of the committee on the conduct of tbe war, in response to tbe resolution submitted to them by the House, on motion of Mr. Sbdlabarger, An officer oi the flotilla lying off Elizabeth City for months, save be frequently saw tbe headless bodies of Union men who were be headed, floating down the river. The committee of conference will exempt from taxation rectified liquors and stock on hand. By general orders from the Adjutant Gen eral’s office, private physicians are to receive $125 per month. Furloughs from captains or colonels arc not to be given, and are not suffi cient to relieve from a charge of desertion. No certificate from a physician in civil life, unless endorsed by military commanders, will avail. Itis made the duty of military command ers to collect all stragglers and forward them to their regiments. Convalescents wMther in army, State or private hospitals, are required to report to the nearest military commander. Until sent to join their regiments each mifi itaiy commander is required to publish a no tice requiring all soldiers to report them selves without delay on penalty of being con sidered deserters. No discharges are to be i given on account of rheumatism or where there is a prospect of recovering within a rea sonable period of time. A deputation of the religions society of pro* Ourit) nxxu* grtssive friends of Pennsylvania, with a me morial requesting the President te proclaim freedom to all slaves as a means of ending the war surely and speedily, arrived this evening. Wr Charming, Unitarian, is to preach in the Senate chamber while his church is in use as a hospital. Col. E. N. Kirk, 34th Illinois was nominated a Brigadier General. Wafutsgtott, June 18.—Gen.

FROM M’CLELLM’S COMMAND. {.Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.! Washington, June 18,1662. In executive session Senator Rice detailed his observations on the peninsula, which were not particularly encouraging, especially as re gards sickness. In common with others he condemned the exclusion of the sick and wounded soldiers from White House, where an excellent spring of water was tabooed to their uso. Another senator asked whose fault it was ? Another answered, “McClellan’e,” I Gov.Pierpont expresses himself very strongly against the policy of compelling the army be fore Richmond to dig and fight by turns, and says thousands of contrabands should be em- ployed for such menial labors as campaignpor- The emancipation substitute was carried in the House by eighty-two to fiftydour. Most of the absentees were on the other side. Most, if not all, the Republicans who voted for the reconsideration voted aye, Delano, Divcn, Granger, Harrison, Horton, Kellogg of Illinois, I Thomas (Mass.) and both the Rhode Islanders, voted no as before. This decisive majority leads to the hope that it will pass the Senate. Ladies who visited McClellan’s hcadquar- ters on Sunday, say it was the impression there that there were connections between Mrs. Lee and her entrance In Richraondandthe rebel raid on the railroad on Friday, a proper return for the peculiar courtesy extended herself and family by McClellan, who sent her through our lines into Richmond. She had abundant means of getting necessary informa tion as to our defenses, road, &c. ■Washington, June 18.—A dispatch, re- cejvtd from McClellan this p. m., states that CoL Averill has*just returned from a search after a party of guerrillas, but they had left. He captured several wagons loaded with supplies intended for Richmond; also de stroyed a quantity of rebel grain, and captured several important prisoners. THE REBEL RAID ON MCCLELLAN’S REAR. [Correspondence New York Times.] Tub Right Wing, Abht op tuk Potosiac, I Friday, June Is—lU p. m. f Tc-day the right wing of Che|army was at tacked by the rebels at a point little antici pated. It has been known for several days that the enemy has been larking about Han over Court-house, and a small force has been detailed every day to watch his movements. It that the rebels became em boldened by the apparent indifference with which we kept watch of that section, by not having a larger- force on guard, and made a bold dash toward onr pickets and rear guard, which was not wholly unsuccessful. The portionfof our force engaged was com panies B, C, F and H, of the Fifth United States cavalry, who have been for the past ten days stationed on picket duty at tne Old Church, which Is situated on the m&la rood about midway between Chlckahomiuy bridge and the White house. Early this morning company F was sent out on a scouting expedition to the right of the Hanover road. Company B and a part of company H having been detailed to picket tbe road leading to Hanover court house, establishing a line not far fromthat place. At about eleven o’clock the rebels made their ap pearance and commenced an attack on onr pickets, and succeeded in capturing nearly all ' of them. At about, the same time the scouting party also fell in with a large party of rebel cavalry, but did not venture to attack them until rein forcements should arrive, a messenger having been sent back to Old Church to get what force was remaining there. The enemy, however, was not to be delayed In his movements, and immediately made a dash upon our scouts, forcing them to retire, but on the retreat they were met by company F and the remaining portion of company H. when the combined force turned and engaged the enemy. * The rebel force was estimated to be four companies of cavalry, one of infantry, and a section of artillery did not take long to ascertain that the rebel force outnumbered that of our own, and that it would be useless to attempt to break or drive them. But our gallant band was deter mined to do the best they could, and show tlie rebels that they had a good quality ot metal to contend against. With this view our pien, under command of Cipt. Royal, formed in line preparatory to making a dash. At the 6.iinc moment the*rebels opened their pieces, discharging which, the infantry came forward, and poured out a volley of musketry. The cavalry then came on in its turn, the contin ued effect of tho whole caussjjg our men to fall back to Old Church. The enemy pursued them to the camp, reaching which they burned the tents, and destroyed everything that would be inconvenient to take away with them. They also took a few more of our men prisoners. The portion of our men not cap tured retreated to the Chickahominy River, but the rebels did not deem it prudent to continue the pursuit. MCCLELLAN’S DELICATE SCRUPLES OVERCOME. [Washington Dispatch 27. T. Tribune, 15th.] The President has ordered the White House on the Pamuukey, with its grounds, belong ing lo Col. Lee of the rebel army, which have been hitherto scrupulously guarded from, in trusion, to be nsed for hospital purposes. Llent. Horace Green, president of the New York Medical Society, with J. Burns, and Lemuel Wetmorc of the New England sol diers’ relief association, who left the Peninsula \eslerday, to-day called upon the President and Secretary of War, and represented to them the gross injustice which was being done. They said that the only pare water in the vicinity was a spring upon Col. Lee’s promisas, which, with the rest of the property, teas tabooed to our sick and roovnd-'d soldiers. The report is that it came out in the course of conversation that one of the reasons given for the course pursued was, that It was in com pliance with a promise, made years ago, to Col. Lee by Gen. McClellan, that if they should ever be opposed in war the property of each should be respected by the other. The President was convinced by the statements of Dr.' Green, and declared that Gen. McClel lan’s promise did not bind him (the President,) and he would break it. He therefore sanc tioned an order signed by Secretary Stanton, directing the guards to be removed from the White House, and the premises to be put at the disposal of the surgeons. Mr. Borns was deputed to take the order to the Peninsula. A~if jho correepoiidiSOP- between the War De partment and Gen. McClellan with relation to this subject will soon be made public, thanks to Mr.' Potter of Wisconsin, whose resolution of inquiry was adopted by the House to-day, and to Messrs. Dawes and Sedgwick, who supported him, by relating what they had Seen on the Peninsula, PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. ■Washisgtox, Tone IS, 1562. SENATE. Mr. CHANDLER called up the resolution to prevent a furter issue of legal tender trea sury notes, and authorizing the issue of one hundred million dollars of ten day certificates hearing five per cent. Interest. He spoke at some length advocating the passage of the resolution and of the danger of issuing an overplus of trea*nrvnotes. Mr. FESSENDEN thought it was not wise to decide on so important a measure without mature deliberation. It was due to the Sec retary of the Treasury to consider carefully every proposition made by him. He moved that the resolution be referred to the Commit tee on Finance. Motion agreed to. The Pacific railroad bill was taken up and various amendments were considered. Messrs. CHANDLER, HOWARD, FOSTER and SUMNER presented petitions for anim medlate passage of a bah&npt act. Mr. TeNETGK presented a petition from a civil eneineer ot Trenton, N. J., asking that a test shall be made of his new and improved military projectile. Mr, HALL, from the Naval Committee, re ported a bill for the relief of Commodore Hi ram Paulding. Passed. Mr. GRIMES offered a resolution that in the opinion of the Senate, it is the right and duty of the government to call loyal persons within the rebellions States to its armed defense against the traitors who are seeking its over throw. Laid over. Mr. SALISBURY offered a resolution ad journing Congress on the SOth of Jane. Laid over. Mr HALL introduced a bill relative to fur ther enlistments in the armg. The bill farther provides that all slaves enlisted under such proclamation of the President shall ho ever thereafter free, and entitled to all the bounties, privileges, etc., of other soldiers in the army. The bul was referred to the committee on military affairs. Mr. POWELL introduced a bill to prevent members of Congress and other officers of the Government of the United States fromtaking considerations for procuring contracts from the Government. Referred. Mr. CLARK moved to strike out the pro Vision granting the bonds of the UnitcdStefce j * \ to the different branches connecting with the eastern terminus of tb; centretroute. Mr. SHERMAN spoke in terror of such an amendment. After further discussion, the amendment was withdrawn for the present. Mr. COLLAMEE offered a proviso that of the bonds of the United States to be de livered to any parts of the roads east of the 100 th degree of longitude aud west of the western foot' of tbe Nevada mountains,, there shall be reserved fifty per cent, until the reads are completed; pud In relation to the roads between these two points twen ty-five per cent shall be reserved; unless these roads are completed tbe reserved bonds are forfeited to the United States. Pending the question, executive session. Adjourned. DOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Senate joint resolution for the encour agement of enlistments in the regular army and volunteer forces was passed. It repeals so much of the act of August last as abolishes premiums for bringing recruits to tbe rendezvous* and provides that hereafter a premium of two dollars shall be paid to any citizen, non-commissioned officer, or soldier, for every reernit to the regular army, and every soldier enlisting in the regular army or volunteer for two years, or during the war, may receive the first month’s pay in advance. The House resumed the consideration of the bill to free from, servitude th i slaves of certain rebels engaged in or abetting the ex isting rebellion against the government of the United States. Some time was spent in the discussion of points of order. A vote was nearly reached on tbe passage of the bill, when tbe time arrived for taking up the special order authorizing the issue of ad ditional treasury notes. Mr. STEVENS, with a view of at once dis posing of the confiscation measure, moved that the special orderbe postponed one hour—this was agreed to by seventy-eight against sixty. The way was now apparenllv clear for the confiscation bill, but Mr. alter remarking that the morning hour hid expired, movid to proceed to the business on the speaker’s table.

Condition of the Contrabands-- Crop Prospects.- The Injury to Maj. Edward Wright Death of Phin. Homans. [Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.] James Island. Headquabtebs or Expedition, 1 Against Charleston, 0 une 13,1562. J Our troops have had lively times and some hot work since their arrival at this place, ■which was about the Ist ot Jane. Tne inten tion waste unite all the forces at this point simultaneously, and suddenly and by a coup, de-main sweep over the Island and take a po rtion back -01 Charleston, within easy bom barding distance; but the lack of transporta tion both by st-a and land, made what was in tended to be a prompt and united process, a slow and protracted one, thus giving the rebels time to rally and erect defenses. Some of our x>eople have been within three miles of the city, and yonr correspondent baa seen, from the rigging of the Delaware, the square lotver of tße Unitarian church in Arch dale street, and a neighboring opera-glass re ports three persons intently watching oar movements. The general plan of the Stono expedition seems to have been well and boldly conceived. From the landing -a direct way lays over solid groundto desirable points on the Ashley River. The importance of this in this marshy coun try is apparent even to those not accustomed to military. operations in the field. Tne trans portation of heavy ordance, stores, provisions and baegage of an army is no small undertak ing, ond tbe securing of a prospective way over terra firma was desirable. A landing thus secured, a bold push across the island would nive us Fort Johnson with little fighting— Fort Sumter would crumble before such bat tfcrien.ar could be here constructed in Us rear, and the city burned with ease. At this time tbe enemy were, scarce aware of our intentions, and p nominal force only opposed ouradvauce,. while the gunboats could pixy to advantage on both sides at once of James Island. Tbe harmonious’execution of this or some such plan would ensure a rapid and brilliant consummation of the objects of the expedi tion. But dclav has been experienced. Charleston would have been ours long ago, I suppose, but the deficient means of transpor tation seems to have seriously embarrassed tjte several commanders. As it is. the enemy his had time to cover the eastern half ot the island with batteries, making his dislodgoient impossible without an. addition to our strength of at least 10,000 men. Between our forces and the rebel cily the enemy have an army 30,000 strong; But I was saving that we have had lively and hot times ever since our arrival here. mishcs have been tho order of the day. Oa the 3d, a rencounter took place, in which wc lost three killed and from, eighteen to twenty wounded and prisoners. On the Bth, Gen. Benham sent out a detachment under Co’. Morrow of Gen. Hunter’s stafl, to beat up the woods along the creek and to make a recon noissauce in the interior. They sent a good many shells into the forest, which was as dense • as tile woods of Mexico, bat elicited no reply. They then entered the woods, and after pene trating some distance were met wUUsharpand well-aimed volleys ofinusketrv. The detach ment consisted’©! the -46 th New York and a company of Massachusetts cavalry. The in fnutrv unfortunately gave way. Col. Morrow ralludthem, and brought them up again to the work. But the rebels had every advan tage. Thev had chosen their own ground, which they understood, and our men, unable to geta glimpse of them or to judge of there whereabout, except by the report'of their pieces, were at their mercy. Major Edvard Wright, of Chicago, was wounded in the right leg, just above the knee. The ball entered the front, and, passing obliquely tlircugh, lodged in the pocket of nis siddle. At fad same time and place Col. Morrow had a valuable horse shot from under him. The object of the reeonuoiesance was ac* ermidisbed. Colonel Morrow drove the reb els nearly two mile®, and was at one time within three miles of Charleston, and in full tight of Fort Sumter. He came up to the church, the point to which he was directed to push his movement,and then fall back iu good order, under the cover of the gunboats. Oar loss was nineteen killed and wounded, and theirs at least double that number. « On the 10th there was another skirmish with the i nerav in front, in which the enemy, which were the attacking party, were repulsed with Blight loss on oar side, say three or four kill ed, and a much greater loss on tiieirs. TITB CONTRABANDS. Dr. Pock, who has had the supervision of the colored school at Port Royal, states that the planting of com and cotton went on finely, the latter under the special encouragement of the treasury department (recently tnnslerrcd to the war department), the negroes receiving one dollar per acre, equal to fifty cents per* dav, being ample wages and doable the usual amount heretofore paid to them for similar services. The contrabands arc expected to hoe and gather the cotton crop, and receive the samo liberal pay in cash o- clothing tor their labor. The school averages abons fifty scholars per dav, and many who did not know their letters on the Ist of January, now read the New Testament fluently. The regiment of South Carolina volunteers made a sweep among their most useful and industrious men, taking from the schools and the plantations and the public works, many whose services were considered almost indis pecsible; but they volunteered to join the annv, and thay make excellent soldiers, easily acquiring a knowledge of the tactics needed for efficiency In the day ot battle, Gen. Hunter had led his forces within seven miles of Charleston. THE DEATH OF PITTS'. HOMAW3. [Correspondence N. T. Herald.) Old Battket, Stoxo lirrsn. S. C.. [ June 6, 1552. * J The friends of Pluneas Homans, Esq., for eome months past a member of the newspaper etalf in this aeoartment, will be pilnfally startled by the* intelligence of his sudden death. ‘While laboring under what seems to have been a temporary nt of insanity, he waited overboard from the steamer Cosmo politan, striking his temple against the guard as he descended, sustaining Injuries so severe as to deprive him of all consciousness, till death ensued. The sad event occurred at two o’clock yesterday morning, while the steamer was lying at anchor at Edisto. A boat was instantly lowered, and he was speedily picked up and removed to the cabin, where every attention that could be bestowed by medical men and kind friends was employed for his relief; bnt without effect. He died at sis o’clock, falling asleep as quietly and as peace fully as in the bloom of health. His remains were enclosed in a simple coffin, and, alter dinner, as the Cosmopolitan was nearing Storo Inlet, Rev. Mr. French and the chaplain of the 76th Pennsylvania volunteers, who were fellow passengers ot the deceased, con ducted brief but impreisive funeral services. His remains were subsequently sent-to Hilton Head for interment. Arrivals at New iork« New Yoee, June 10. —Among the prisoners by the Ocean Queen, is Sheriff Mozarcn of New Orleans. Gen.
