It Is said that the intention of General Lei
was not to engage the Federal troops until
to draw them, while In the meantime he de-
signed to throw out his troops 90 as to take
them In the rear; but as General Scott has q
happy fashion, In making his movements, o1
leaving no rear to be attacked, 1t Is exceed.

Since so large body Of men have been cali
ed INTO service, and many Of the ordinary chsn-
nels Of the produce trade hare been interrupt
ed, It becomes interesting In commercial
for food by the army. The unit Of tho Com
niasariat Department is the ration. The
amount and quality Of rstioA Ia calculated on
the basis Of the full, healthy and comfortable
support q an ahle-bodisd man, With some A.
loEance for Rastage. The kind Of food is &C.
lectcd {after due allowance for the meaus OF
supply with reference to the greateat amount
OF healthy nutrition in the smallest SPACE In
this, long observation has taught thAt meat
and bread are the matR articles. But few yege-
their bulky and perish1hlo nature. But men
mnst hare something Of vegetable md acid
Kind In their food, Ii order to avoid ecurvy
and cutaneous diseases. In tho British army
free use istnade Of vinegar, rice and rAislns.
These generally make component part Of the
ration in European armies, and In our owu.
OF course, when an army is encamped IN the
country, where vegetable and fruit are abund-
ant, these will DO procured, but they are sell
dom mado part Of tho regular ration, which u

food supply Of n army is based

The question which has forr &c" long time
yexed this nation IN times Of peace, Viz:
"What shall be done with. the negro ?" seems
destined to- cause etill. greater trouble now
That We are divided against each other. The
President, with 8ecretarIes Chase and Came
Ton, long since determined that, in tho case Of
runaway slaves belonging to disloyh citizens,
and also in the case of these negroes which
might bc seized by the commanders of. the
federal troops as &: a:contraband," there was but
enc course to pursue, and that Is to declare
This question hes been discussed informally
by the members Of the csbinet and with the
representatives Of tie people who chanced to
be at the capital, and, strange to say, the prin-
cips1 draH back encountered by the President
has been the unwI}1ingness Of the Secratary
Of state to commit h,mseK.: 1:kuow that d
cabinet meeting Eas called, to consider what
reply should be sent to the query from Gen.
Butler concerning the disposition of elaTe
property in bis possession. I also know that
Mr. Seward managed to get the ear Of the
President prior to The hour Of meeting, end
persuaded him to defer the settlement of the
question untua future time This will &c.

PUNISHMENT OF TREAsoN.-The penalty which
The laws Of the United States provide shall be
inflicted upon those who commit high treason,
is death. The constitution, art. 3, sec 8, de-
clares that treason shall consist only in levy
ing war against the United States, or in adher-
ing to their enemies giving them aid and com.
tort" The same section continues" The
Congress shall have power to declare the pun.
ishment Of treason; but no attainder of treason
shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture.
except during the life of the person attaintedr
Every individual who has taken up arms, in the
seeding States, against the goveifnnient, and
has been or may be engaged in attacking fede-
raj places, properties, or vessels, is indictable
for the crime Of treason; and all such, be they
Few or many, are liable, by act of Congress, to
the punishment of death. Those who have fur
nisbed rebels with arms, or munitions of war,
or any materials Of carrying out traitorous pur-
poses, fall under the lesser penalty of impris-
onment not exceeding seven years, and fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars. These
embrace, however, oil the punishments that can
be inflicted for this offence.
There can be no such thing as confiscation of
property for treason, according to the constitu-
ton which prohibits forfeiture Slaves can.
not, therefore, be permanently eequestrated
from master who is traitor, nor can laws be
passed preventing their reverting to his heirs
after his death.
