BB@A correspondent Of the Dodgeville
4drocate, writing from Onion River,
Tenn, speak as follows Of swearing reb-
els:
"A question has arisen among the boys
whether it is good policy to swear in the
rebels and let them have protection as
an incident which has lately transpired
IN this neigeborhood, would indicate that
many of the most blood thirsty rebels in
the country come in. take the oath and re
turn TO their homes ready to waylay
the unsuspecting soldier or Union citizen
\ sergeant and private Of TIE 62d Illinois
were riding into the country some twenty
miles from here, intending to purchase
forage, when they were fired upon from
the brush by twelve rebels, killing the
sergeant, wounding the private, and lleav-
Ing a bullet in the breast of his horse.
which, however, bore him away from the
wouid-be murderers. Among them he dis
tinctlY recognised three or four men who
had been into their camp and taken the
oath of Allegiance TO the United States,
and then so and deliberately violate their
oath
The faithful soldier may well doubt the
Propriety of administering the oath of al
iegiance to rebels, who in nine cases out
of Gen, pay no more regard to an oath
than the wind that blow over their head.
Many Of chem come voluntarily int our
lines and take oath for no other purpose
than TO throw our men of their guard
while they seek an opportunity TO take
their lives In taking the oath they pledge
their lives TO its sacred observance, and
every man who violates it should pay the
penalty in the most summary manner
This done fe times, and the rebels con-
WINGED that our government IS in earnest
a less number would be so ready to take
an oath which they intend to violate the
first opportunity.

fiseation Bill as it passed the two Houses
u SVne5iSSS. INC = ivsi'.0rI', Io0- 11ii5 'ii''1
some provisions Of the bill confiicted with
the constitution objected to attaching his
signature to make it a law, whereupon
Congress adopted the following resolution
almost unanimously, which does away the
Presidents objections and it now becomes
a law
Res0lred, BY Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives, &c, that the provisions of the
third clause of the fifth section of "An act
to suppress insurrection to punish treason
and rebellion and seize and conhscate the
property of rebels and for other purposes"
shall be so construed as not to apply
to any acts done prior to the passage
thereof not to include any member of ii
State Legislature, or a Judge of any State
Court who has not, on accepting or enter
ing upon the duties of his Office, taken an
oath to support the Constitution, of the
so-called Confederate States of America,
nor shall any punishment or proceedings
under said act be so construed 5 to wor k
a forfeiture of the real estate Of the often
der beyond his natural life.
The above modification was made so
as not to violate that section of the Con
stitution which provides for the punish
ment of treason, rs follows:
The Congress shall have power to de-
clare the punishment of treason, but no
attainder of treason shall work corruptio n
of blood OF FoRFEITURE EXCEPT DURING THE
LIFE OF THE PERSON ATTAINED.

followed here by officer Elliot of Chicago, and
arres led by the provost marshal. In his trunk

known whether Gen Grant Will return here
not.
MEMPHIS, July l5-10 a. m.
Memphis is very short of news, nothing hay
ing arrived from Helena, and nothing from
Vicksburg since Sunday. Accounts of the
fight before Richmond, giving the dark side of
affairs are seized hold of by the secessionists
and sympathizers here. With activity they
gather in knots and groups at the street cor
ners, and sometimes talk loudly and defantlv.
The provost marshal will take means to keep
indoors hereafter. They may have occasion
to change their tone very soon

New York, July 1.-THE Harper $
Ferry correspondence of the New York
Tribune, dated July 18th, states that fears
are entertained that we shall soon have
trouble. In consequence of the threaten
ing appearance of the matters at Winches-
ter, the stores and all othe valuables of
the army have been safely removed to
Harpers Ferry, by way of the Potomac
and Winchester railroad
Various rumors are afoat in regard to
the movements of the enemy, and it is re-
ported that our pickets were driven in be-
low Winchester last night In anticipa-
ton OF danger, the telegraph Office at that
place has been removed over a mile from
the town, near the Notifications.
The friends of the South here and at
Martlnsburg are acting as if they had
heard good news, and express their conf
dence that the rebels will make raid in
to the valleys as far as Winchester before
many days. There seems to be general
impression here that Winchester will be
the scene ofa fierce battle before week 1t
is rumored that Jackson, with one-half OF
his army which he took to Richmond so
suddenly, has returned, and has been rein
forced by the numerous guerrilla bands
about the country.
