Richmond 18th, news has been received
here that vessels under British register had
arrived at New Orleans with an assorted cal.
go, in part, two Observation-Disclosures and hun
dred and twenty-five rifles.
A correspondence dispatch from Wise's
head quarters dated the 5th, says his force
is encamped at Hawks Nest on New River,
and at Dogwood Gap the latter had been
reinforced. No important movement had
taken plsce.
John SlideIl arrived here to-day. Il Is
generally conceded that he goes to France
soon.
The Richmond Examiner bulletin board of
the 18th has the following, post-marked Lew
isburg and written to the post master at
Richmond:
Gen. Floyd had another engagement with
the enemy on the 10th, and routed them,
killing six hundred and wounding one thou
sand, and taking some prisoners and ten
horses. After the engagement Floyd heard
that the other wing Of the enemy had cross-
ed the river few miles above, in order to
surround him, but be fell back. This is re-
liable, being brought by an officer who was
in the engagement. The Confederate less is
one killed and eight wounded.
The North Georgia Journal says, on reli-
able authority, we learn that two weeks be-
fore Mcclellan was rendered his commission
by Lincoln he was trying to secure a posi-
tion in the Confederate army.
1t is understood that the train going South
on the Nashville Railroad yesterday, was
detained at ElizabethtoWn. The iail was
broken open, and 60 or 80 State arms put
aboard and taken South. Fish Henry, the
conductor, was forced to take the arms, and
by a certificate from the parties engaged in
the affair, is relieved from all blame.

10 no further than the act Of Congress passed
apoa the 9th of August last. That ast en-
titled san Act to Confscate Property used

Senate on the 5th Of August, and went to the
House, where it was referred 10 the judicia-
y COMMITTEES. On the same day, Mr.. Bing-
ham from the judiciary reported back the
Senate bill to eonfscate property used for in
SurTectiOnaFy purposes, with an amendment
IA substance, that, whenever, during the pre-
cent insurrectien, any person held to service
or labor, shall be employed in military or
naval service, entrenchmsnts, &C., the per-
son to whom such labor or service is due,
shall forfeit bis claim to tks same. The bill
was passed by 60 against As. The Senate
agresd to the amendment of the House by
% against II, the following persons voting
ia the Notwithstanding, Bright, Car
iisle, OoWan, johnson, of Missouri, Latham,
Psarcs, Polk, Powell, Rice and salisbury.
This bill, it will be seen, eonfscstes all
property used in rebellion against the Gov
ernmant and all persons held to service
who are thus employed. Fremonts procIa-
nation Get free all personsheld to service to
PsSsons found in rebellion. Under the fur
ther Congressional enactment for the confS-
cation Of rebel property, vessels, moneys
racs korSsE, &c, found in Northern States,
Belonging to rebsls, are seized and held in
he name Of the GoVernment. We confess
that We cannot see the difference between
such seizures and the forfeiture of slaves, save
that the property IS held By Government and
the slaves are set freeto take care of them
selves. All slaves, owned by persons in re-
bslliou, are of necessity an aid to their mas
tsTs. They do the labor at home while be is
away lighting in the field. They raise his

catisn ect We are not yet informed. And #
cOnsseated, they must beset free, for the Gov

Mr.. Lassarra, the Spanish Minister, has
called to assure the Secretary OF State that
the report from Charleston that the Captain
General Of Cuba had issued a proclamation
recognizing the rebel flag is untrue. The
facts are that vessels from any port in the

coming into a port, with irregular paperT,
are of necessity admitted without notice Of
the irregulsrity, just as they have been ad-
mitted sn all other ports since the rebels OBJ

There is no recognition of the rebel flag in
Spanish or any other ports.
