Ways contended that the proper advance on
Richmond should be either by James river or
/ By the line Of Aquia Greek. The former gave
water communication for the transport OF the
army and for its continued supply to within
striking distance Of that city. from any point
where the river was capable of being obstruct-
ed, even if these distractions could not be re-
moved but unfortunately, when Gen. McClel-
Ian went to the peninsula, the Me1rimac pre-
vented the tree access to James river, and Y York
river had to be selected. From the mouth Of
Aqua Greek the distance to Richmond is only
about sixty miles less than half that by Cor
aonsvilIe Fad by 1he lorner the lir1a Of rail
road for supplies can be much more readily
kept open and protected than by the way Of
Gorlonsville. The great difficulty in the ad-
vance Of such an army Is to keep it supplied.
1T has with 1t not less than sc, 900 Or IS,
100 horses and mules, and the country in which
lis moving is so exhausted that forage cannot
be procured for so large number of animals.
70 supply these, together with provisions and
other necessaries the army requires the daily
transportation Of not less than SIX hundred tons
which can only be done BY means Of a railroad,
and if the enemy can cut the railroad, the ar

The WAR IN VIRGINIA A-Tho base Of opc-
rations of the Federal army has been changed
to Aqua Greek, and the advance is to be made,
it is presumed, along the Richmond and Fred
erlcksburg railroad. 1t is believed that Gtn
Burnsides advance took possession of that town
on Monday The present position Of the Con
federates is not known, but it is not unlikely
that their generals have been advised Of the
Federal movements, and are now concentrating
their forces nearer Richmond, perhaps at Sax
ton 5 station, the junction of the Fredericks-
burg and Virginia Central railroad a point Of
great stlategical importance. This place is 81
miles south from Fredericksburg, and Il from
Culpeper Court House, the last reported head
quarters Of the Confederate army Speculation
is yet rife as to the whereabouts of the Con-
federate Gen Jackson; there being nothing
known positively of his movements, but most
accounts agree in placing him in the valley of
the Shenandoah, in the vicinity OF Winchester.
The expeditions of Gen. Milroy to Hunters
vile, Monterey: Franklin, and through the
counties of Pocahontas Bath, Highland and
Pendleton, Western Virginia, have been sue
cessful. He captured Major Win. Harness:
Captain Evans, Captain Boggs, the famous
Camp, and about forty-fve prisoners also,
about twenty-five horses and seventy head of
beef cattle That region, has now no Con-
federates. The smallpox is reported to be ia
ging at Staunton and in the surrounding coun-
try.
The accommodating party sent out from I Iork
town towards Gloucester has returned, after ap-
preaching to within three miles Of the Court
House, discovering no Contederates.
The New York World says, a letter from
Washington has the following: Gen. Halleck
urged prompt advance, and in reply to some
difficulties that Burnside urged as to an imme-
diate and rapid advance, Gen. Fl. said there
was political necessity for it. Gen. B. imme-
diately interrupted him, and said he did not
take the command Of the army with the view
OF having its movements governed by political
necessity: that he had rot solicited the COM
mand nor expected it, and that if it's opera
tions were to be conducted on that basis. he
must request some one else should be appoint
ed, and he would cheerfulIy serve under him;
but that while it was under his command its
movements would be directed solely under mil
itary, and not under political motives. = Sim
ultaneousiy with this iatimaton we find the
Republican organs in Washington exclaiming:
I'VE go for change till we get the ght man: if

overstocked last year and will not be over bur

promise well, and we can smack ouI lips at the
prospect of peaches and cream by and-by.

WASHINGTON, July 2 - The correspondence
regarding the raising of u negro brigade was laid
before the House TO day. Ii is rather lengthy
Portions Oft caused considerable laughter. Gen.
Hunter SAYS:
To the irst question therefore reply that no
regiment of fugitive slaves has been is being
organized in this Department. There is, howev-
er, fine regiment of persons whose late masters
are fugitive rebels who everywhere fly be
fore the appearance OF the National flag, leaving
their servants behind them to shift best they
can for themselves. So far, indeed, the loyal
persons composing this regiment from seeking TO
avoid the presence of their late owners, that they
are now, one and all, working with remarkable
industry TO place themselves in position to JOIN
in full aud effective pursuit of their fugacious and
traitorous propretors
To the second question he says:
The instructions given To Brigader General
T. W. Sherman by Secretary Cameron, and turn
ed over TO inc by succession for my guidance. do
distinctly authorize me to employ all Loyal per

Union, aud for the suppression of this rebellion

or military, in which their services shall be used.

lied to enlist fugitive slaves soldiers, should
any such be found in the Department. No such
characters, however, have yet appeared within
view of most advanced pickets, the loyal
slaves everywhere remaining on Their plantations
to welcome aid, and supply Us with food, labor
and information.
To the third nterrogatory, he says:
1t is my painful duty reply that have re-
ceived no specific authority for issuing clothing,
uniforms, arms, equipments, &c. to the troops in
question. My general instructions from Mr..
Cameron are TO employ them in any manner
might find necessary. and the military exigencies
OF the department and the country being my onli ,
