The substitution of the provision for gradual emancipation for the peremptory method of the bill, can alone save its framers from the charge of disguising heartless cruelty under mask of eager philanthropy. The measure we believe to be ill timed; let it not also be ill contrived and mischievous in practice. At the very last moment of the debate on the bill, Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, addressed the Senate. He conceded the right of Congress to legislate for the District of Columbia. He admitted the constitutionality of such a measure, but objected to this particular bill as unconstitutional and unwise. The bill takes property in violation of the Constitution, and also mixes up the question of loyalty and confiscation with the question of taking property. The spring trade at the North.

and ice are two commodities which will prove great blessings in the South at the present time. [That is Yankee, all over.] The same paper also contains the following from Washington: Senator Davis declared in his speech to-day, that if the Confiscation bill passed, the people of the South would so resist it as to neutralize its effects. The French frigate Gassendi left to-day for Fortress Monroe, the officers taking a warm leave of the officers of our Navy-Yard. Gen. Bayard has arrived from Fredericksburg, and reports that all is quiet in that vicinity, and everything progressing favorably. General McDowell's division is still opposite Fredericksburg. He can take possession of the city at any moment he desires to do so. The completion of the railroad bridges will add much to the convenience of our troops there. A large number of mechanics are engaged upon them, and they will be finished in the course of the next few days. Simon Cameron Censured

of birds are warbling in the trees by day, and the melancholy whistle of the "whip-poor-will," with the hooting of the owl, would prevent every not tired soldier from sleeping. Snakes, lizards, ants, mosquitos, and myriads of bugs and vermin abound, to annoy us as much as possible, but they do not dampen the ardor of the men in the least, and the cry is still, "On to Richmond!" Rebels advancing upon Fredericksburg. Washington, May 19. --Two contraband have just arrived at Gen. Bayard's headquarters below Fredericksburg, and report that the rebels are about fifteen miles below Fredericksburg, with a considerable force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The information seems reliable. The bridge across the Rappahannock will be completed to night; the Locomotive arrived over the road from Aquia Creek to Falmouth last evening, bringing one hundred and fifty workmen, who are to-day employed in finishing the bridge.

ver again," but consoles itself with the announcement from Washington that the Federal army is going to "try it over again, " by advancing on the Confederate forces. The correspondent of that paper gives the following account of the action: Bayard's cavalry brigade is known to have been stationed at Burnett's Ford to guard the bridge of the road from Culpeper to Gordonsville. Buford's (formerly Hatch's) brigade is known to have been posted at Madison Court-House. In the latter place threas been captured. A considerable force of the enemy were not far from it at the time. As I approached my destination the cannonading had commenced. A line of dust above the woods indicated the road upon which our troops were advancing. Gen. Bayard had been driven back from the Bapidan, and Gen. Crawford's brigade had been sent out to support him. Their forces joined at Cedar Run, and took position. Besides his four well tried regiments, the 28th New York, 46th Pennsylvania, 10th Maine,

k. Accordingly, on Friday afternoon, he commenced a rapid union of his scattered forces, and on Saturday threw them against the corps of Banks, which had been thrown forward to a point midway between Culpeper Court-House and the Rapidan.--Gen. Bayard's cavalry brigade had been holding the bridge at Rufusford, and was of course easily driven in upon the advance of the enemy in force, not, however, without having given them evidence of his bravery, in capturing quite a number of their officers and privates. Gen. Crawford's brigade was ordered out to support Bayard, whom he met retreating from the enemy in the vicinity of Cedar Run. This was on Friday afternoon, and these two brigades, with the aid of three batteries of artillery, kept back the enemy, who, probably not having yet gathered his forces, and had no desire to push them further at that time, especially as they were admirably situated for the operation of their artillery when they should get ready their forces for an att

time. The position of affairs in Northern Virginia. The Herald, of the 5th, in its situation article, says the Federal army is making rapid advances into the different Gaps of the Blue Ridge heretofore held by the Confederates, and are now in possession of all of them as far as Ashby's Gap, which they are fronting. It adds: Yesterday General Stahel, with a portion of Sigel's command, drove the enemy out of Thoroughfare Gap, and General Carl Schurz immediately occupied it. General Bayard's force meantime holds Aldle and all the country between that point and Sigal's front Buckland Mills is also in our possession. Thus the rebels are pretty closely outflanked, hemmed in, and out off from Richmond.--General McClellan is fifty miles nearer the rebel capital than General Lee's army, and a vigorous movement — protected, of course, by a cautious attention to his rear — may at any moment put him in possession of that place. McClellan's left flank is therefore protected, Washi

did charge was made on them by the 8th Pennsylvania cavalry, whilst the 6th regular cavalry attacked them on the flank. The rebels were completely routed, leaving ten dead on the field, besides seven captured.--Among their dead was a Captain, and the Adjutant of a Virginia regiment was captured. Our loss was one killed, and five wounded. The conduct of our cavalry in this action was splendid, and they only need an open field to show their ability to vanquish Stuart's celebrated legion. Gen. Bayard's command of cavalry has occupied Salem, after driving out the 1st Virginia cavalry regiment. Salem is on the Manassas Gap Railroad, between Rectorville and White Plains. The whole line of this road is now in our possession, and the left wing of the army will soon be put in direct railroad communication with Washington. The whole of the rebel forces are now driven beyond the Blue Ridge, and our army is in such a position as to intercept the rebel retreat towards the Rappahannock.

Latest from the North. Northern advices, of the 12th, have been received. Gen. McClellan's resignation has created a decided division between the parties at the North. He has issued a farewell address. Gen. Sickles has gone to Rappahannock Station to take command of the position held by Gen. Bayard's cavalry. Schuyler Colfax has been tendered the place of Secretary of the interior, in anticipation of Mr. Smith's retiring to take the place of Circuit Judge of Indiana.

the Federal Army. Gen. Burnside's headquarters were at Warrenton on the 9th. Sickles was on his way on the 9th to Rappahannock station, with artillery and infantry, to hold the important bridge there past peradventure, with the assistance of Bayard's cavalry. Gen. Geary made a reconnaissance with 2,500 men, on the 8th, from Harper's Ferry. Charlestown was occupied and searched, and about 20 prisoners made. The Federal went to within five miles of Berryville, where they say the reconnaissance ended, and where "two Virginia regiments of infantry and Chew's rebel battery assisted the rebel cavalry to run without offering any opposition." The Federal, under date of headquarters, November 11, says that Gen. Bayard still remains at Rappahannock station, where the rebels are in force on the opposite side of the river, and that Jackson still holds Chester and Manassas Gaps. There is no confirmation of the report that a change in Lincoln's Cabinet is anticipated. It is s
