ington correspondent speculates as follows
Government is becoming embarrassed with
the question Of how the prisoners captured
in the conflict now going on shall be dis
posed Of Scouts are daily picking up men
proved TO be disunionists. AlreIdy those
taken exceed one hundred. The rebels are
capturing Union men, thinking that when
able TO secure the release Of the thirtysix
rebels captured at Alexandris.
If the Government rate these men as
rebels taken in arms against the Govern
ment they should be hung. If the system of
exchanges be adopted, there is in the act a
recognition of the rebels as belieereuts &C.
cording TO all laws Of nations. The Cabinet
have discussed this point several times with
out coming TO any result.
The Government has ascertained there are
no rebels at Fairfax Court-house.
There were troops at that point, but they
have fallen back on the main body at Msuas.
sas Gap.
They have literally eaten up everything to
be obtsined at Fairfax Courthouse, and were
driven back for fear Of starvation
The rebels take whatever they can find
from the families of friends aud foes, and pay
literally, but in the scrip of Virginia.
The determination of Judge fancy to re-
port to the President the result of his en-.
deaVors to break down the Federal Govern
ment is discreet way of getting out of the
trouble. .s ~. f-4T-
It appears, by adyices from, Fortress Mon
roe, that there is likely to be stampede of
negroes through Virginia. i. ,.- g
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Harper's Ferry, ifit
is not already evacuated, will soon fall. The
troops there are not near as numerous as has
sand in and about the place. They are mis-
ersbly equipped, and nearly starved.
General Mcclellan, with fifteen thousand
troops is already on the march toward Har-
pers Ferry. ..
Another force viii proceed from Cham
bersburg, under General Keim; another
from the Relay House and still another
from Washington, to cut off the rebels.
The Government received no official intel

from Europe; the impression, however, which
the Etha's mails convey respecting American
affairs there is entirely satisfactory to our
Government, and clearly indicate that great
changes had already taken place in the minds
of the people. ..l1..r
A general order has been issued from the
War Department, granting to volunteers
now enlisted the same money allowances
for clothing as the regulars. f..
The total number of regiments accepted
from Illinois for the war is now eighteen,
inclusive OF Hecker's German regiment
A st. Louis regiment, Colonel F. P. Blair,
jr., has been ordered to Fortress Monroe.
The Tribmes dispatch says at Grafton
there were two thousand FIVE hundred troops
on Sunday, and more were pouring in from
Harpers Ferry. Id
among them one at Clarksburg, on the
Northwestern Road, and one about half way
between Wheeling and Grafton.
The iron Monoeacy Bridge was threatened,
but Governor Hicks sent a strong body oi
Maryland troops to protect it. ~
One end only of the great rock blown down
at Harper's Ferry had fallen on the track,
and two hours work with gunpoYdeI
would suffice to remove it. ,I..g,
General Johnston, 1t is said, considered
| that he had time sufficient TO secure his re-
| treat. General Mcclellan has thrown strong
bodies of troops from Parkersburg and
| Wheeling toward Grafton; but some delay
I would be occasioned by re building bridges.
The force at Chambersburg now threatens
| Harpers Ferry. .- ..+.. --..
