a substitute already proposed by Mr. P., which prevailed — Yeas 84; Nays 66: and Mr. Eliot again reported June 17. a bill emancipating the slaves of certain specified classes of prominent Rebels, and also of all persons who shall continue in armed rebellion sixty days after the President shall have issued his proclamation requiring them to desist therefrom. The bill thus modified passed the House: Yeas 82; Nays 54. The House Confiscation bill aforesaid was taken up in the Senate; June 23. and, after debate, so amended, June 28. on motion of Mr. Clark, of N. H., as to recombine Emancipation therewith; when it was passed: Yeas 23; Nays 13.

Its purport is that all slaves of persons who s

during the 29th. The enemy, deceived and overpowered, had been forced back, with little more than smart, persistent skirmishing, to Fairfield. Manchester itself had been surprised by Wilder on the morning of that day. Granger had started June 23, 2 P. M. from Triune, on our extreme right, moving by Rover and Middleton, pushing back the enemy, by lively skirmishes at either place, to Christiana, on the road from Murfreesboroa to Shelbyville, where he was joined by Stanley; advancing Jossy creek, above; capturing in all 3 guns, 500 prisoners, and 10,000 small arms, beside destroying large quantities of Confederate munitions and stores; making its way out with difficulty — the passes being all choked or guarded — to Boston, June 23. Ky. Its loss was trifling. Gen. Burnside, having thoroughly organized and equipped his command, about 20,000 strong, at Camp Nelson, near Richmond, Ky., commenced, Aug. 16. without awaiting the return of his old corps, his advance on Knox

tary Stanton replied June 14. that Gen. Hunter had not been authorized to organize and muster into the service of the United States either fugitive or captured slaves, nor had he been furnished with clothing or arms for such slaves; and further, that the Government's orders to and correspondence with Gen. Hunter on this subject could not be published at this time without prejudice to the public welfare. But, some dayslater, July 2. he made a further report, covering a letter Dated June 23. from Gen. Hunter, in reply to one addressed June 13. to him by the Adjutant-General, asking for information on the subject; wherein Gen. H. makes answer to Mr. Wickliffe's several inquiries as follows: To the first question, therefore, I reply that no regiment of fugitive slaves has been, or is being, organized in this department. There is, however, a fine regiment of persons whose late masters are fugitive Rebels--men who every where fly before the appearance of the national f

with a loss of 4 guns and many prisoners. At the same time, another of Hill's divisions struck the flank of the 6th corps likewise, inflicting on it also considerable loss. But Meade now arrived on the field — the Rebel advance having been checked — and, getting both corps well in hand, le ordered, at nightfall, an advance, which was made, and most of the lost ground recovered — Hill not being in force to resist him in the open field. Our advance southward was resumed next morning, June 23. and the Weldon railroad reached; but hardly had operations upon it begun, when Hill again struck the flank of our three regiments in advance, and routed them, taking many prisoners, and driving the fugitives back on the main body; when lie again desisted, carrying off his captives. Our losses in this baffled effort were scarcely less than 4,000 men, mainly prisoners; with no resulting advantage, save a moderate extension of our left toward the Weldon railroad.
