In the Senate Of the Legislature at " heel
inc, on the 18th inst, Senate Bill No. 9 was
taken Up and read the second time. 1t is an
act to stay the collection Of certain debts in the
counties Of Accomac and Northampton. On
motion of Mr. Close, the counties Of Alexan-
dria Fairfax and Jackson were added thereto.
The bill thus amended was ordered to be en-
crossed.
The Washington correspondent OF the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says, that "the Cabinet diff
Guilty is not yet ended but that the Republi-
can Senators, though baf1ed, for the present,
will renew their efforts to GUST Mr. Seward and
Mr. Blair
The Washington Republican says that Gen.
Burnside report will strike the country with
profound astonishment-tha the 'responsi-
bilitv hi has assumed will be more than he can
bear" &c., &c.
It is said, we know not on what authority,
that majority Of the Cabinet are opposed to
the bill for creating the proposed new State Of
West Virginia.
Robt. c. Newman and George Coleman,
both of Fairfax County, arrested in October
last. have been released from the Old Capitol
prison.
Poultry, dear enough before, this morning
avc,t up considerably They were asking for
Turkeys, from $50 to $3.50. Poultry is
much cheaper in Washington than here.
The weather has moderated considerably,
and the ice in the river is disappearing.

and after the President, Secretary and Yourself
requested me not to be in haste, for the reason
that we we're supplied much sooner By the

Our killed amounts to eleven hundred and

and our prisoners about seven hundred, which
have been paroled and exchanged for about the
same number taken by us. The wounded
were all removed to this side Of the river be-

for every slave thet belongs 10 > soy<s

and Missouri. Ibelicse that 10000
600 will pay, at the price Of $500 each,
for the last slave IN The State of Missouri
that belongs to a loyal man in that State.
That is my deliberate opinion and /
contend that sd far from is becoming a
burden upon The people Of the free States,
it would be economy in them TO adopt
this scheme Of emancipation. Why, sir,
the expenses Of this war for three months
would more than pay for every slave that
belongs 70 loyal man in ali the border
States. The Northwest has already lost
more by the obstruction o. the navigation
Of the Mississippi river, and the inter-
ruption Of its commerce and business, in
dollars and cents, than would have paid
for all the slaves in the States Of Ken
lucky, Maryland, and Missouri. Hence,
in my judgment, the use which has been
made Of this scheme by politicians in the
Northern States was uncalled for and un-
justifiable. Yet the people were alarmed
at il, and were taught to believe that
they would be saddIed with an over
whelming public debt for the purpose Of
paying for the emancipated slaves of the
border States.

Georgia Deserters.

II would appear from the following
advertisement which we clip from the At

is as distastoful to the Georgia troops
as to the Tennesseans.

so much valuable Territory has been re-
deemed, and so many true and loyal peo-

is induced to publish full pardon
to all soldiers absent without authority,

the absent soldiers of this command to

FROM inc New lOrh commercial Advertiser.
We have at last clue to the real object
which the president had in his visit to Gen.
Scott, and subsequently to the camp of Gen.
Mcclellan, on the James river First of all,
three petty departments hayel been CONSOLE
dated, the armies of each being put under
command of Gen. Pope. Next, Gen. Halleck
has been invited from the southwest to Wash
ington, to take position intermediate between
secretary Stanton, in the cabinet, and Gems
Mcclellan and Pope in the field. The tele-
grams already received from various quarters,
we suppose, leave no doubt respecting the
great outlines OF this part Of the new arrange
ment though the details cannot probably be
completed until after the generals arrival at
| Washington.
The plan just announced seems every way
proper. 1t will put all the military operations
in the east under the direction OF a single
mind, and that person an experienced officer
''Better one bad general than two good ones"

this has been unfortunately wanting. Meth

knows aught OF the art of war practically,
whatever qualifications both may possess as

ments in the field, there was quite enough of

their time and energies. If generals differed
in opinion, neither was competent to pro-
nounce authoritatively between them; and any
decision Of the sort, however excellent in it.
self, would often fail to carry conviction to
the public, for the reason that the secretary
was not looked upon as an expert in the mill
tary art.
Gen. Halleck will supply this deficiency.
His decisions on all points of professional
character will be readily accepted by the pub
lie as final. He comes with all the experience
gained in the spring campaign at the west,
and accompanied by number of his most en-
terprising assistants-Pope, Sigel, Wallace,
and we hope to add, Mitchell One head at
the city of Washington, thoroughly compe-
tent IN all respects, will devise and direct

field to concentrate all their efforts on their

correspondence of the n. Y. Times.
NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-THE city the last
week has been continued scene of excite
ment. The rebels have the telegraphic lines
IN their possession from Richmond and Mo-
bile, and of course they get through what
they please, and we have to take all news
through their representations. 1t has come
in loaded each day with fearful disasters 70
our cause. As a result Of this continuous,
day-atter-day reports of national defeats be-
fore Richmond, st. Charles street, near the
hoteI Through the Vaccinations of the en-
couraged rebels), was yesterday the scene Of
violence and threatening trouble. Young
woman, dressed in white, and of handsome
personal appearance, about 10 o'clock passed
by the hotel, wearing IA secession badge. She
finally insulted one of our soldiers, and was
arrested by policeman, who attempted to
take her to the mayors office. As
matter of course, there was instantly
scene of confusion, as she had selected
the time when she would find the most
obnoxious secessionists parading the vi
clnlty. Upon reaching the building next to
the Bank OF Orleans, she Electrically appealed
to the crowd for protection, and the next mo-
ment the policeman was knocked down, and
shot was fired out of the'store that wounded
the soldier assisting the civil officer. There
| upon a hundred persons, returned soldiers of
| Beauregards army, by concerted agreement
no doubt, cried MURDER and one of the nation
al officers at the same moment fired at the
assassin who wounded the soldier In the
confusion the would-be murderers escaped,
but the woman together with some of her
most prominent sympathizers were conveyed
before Gen. Shepley at the City Hail. Upon
being brought into the presence of Gen Shep-
ley she commenced the utterance of threats
and abuse, and further took out of her bosom
innumerable bits of paper, on which were
written insulting epithets, addressed to the
United States authorities, and one by one
thrust them into Gen. Shepleys hand After
some few questions she was put in a carriage
and conveyed to Gen. Buffers headquarters,
where she was recognized as the mistress of
gambler and murderer, now, by Gen. But
lers orders, confined at fort jackson, but
nomlnally passing as the wife of one John H.
Larue. The result of the examination was
the sending of John Larue to the parish prison
as a vagrant. Anne Larue, his wife, having
been found in the public streets, wearing a
confederate flag upon her person. in order to
lnclte to riot was sent into solitary confine-
ment at Ship Island.

Clarendon-the Mecca of our hopes. The
general" was sounded an hour before day
break. Gen. Osterhaus took the advance to-
day, Steele's division next, and then ours.
Each division had its own advance and rear
guards. Following in one column, the army,
with the long train of baggage wagons, eN-
tended over six miles. The country was
level, with no hills or rocks to be seen. We
suffered extremely for the want of water.
The wells, few and far between, were drain
ed by the troops in advance. The buckets
were broken or hid by the owners; pals were
used to draw up the beverage, with hundred
persons crowding round to get a dip. Up
would come the pail with the hoops off, the
bottom containing sediment of mud, few
drops of dirty water straining between the
slaves. We heard OF bayou three miles
from the road. Shirmishers were detailed,
but did not succeed in finding this oasis.
About noon a small frog pond of a bayou was
seen near the road mantled with q green
slime. Many drank from this and filled their
canteens. Those having acid and soda made
a tolerable drink. At one well the men had
an iron pot attached to rope, which they
were vainly trying to sink in the muddy sedi-
ment at the bottom.
0sterhaus and Major Curtis now pressed
ahead for Clarendon, and charged into town.
We soon heard the booming of a twelve
FOUNDER. A messenger reached us four miles
this side, and informed Gen. Curtis that the
boat had left the evening before, and the ma
jor tried to signal our arrival in case the fleet
was within the sound of cannon. The diSap-
pointment was provoking. We had sent for
ward messengers to Col. Fitch, who were
probably captured. From one of the citizens
we learned that the Indiana regiments wer5
on the eve of marching for our columns; that
dispatch boat came for us, andi half an hour
the fleet moved down the river. 1t stopped
till morning twelve miles below.
The same informant gave us the first intel
lgence from Richmond. Mcclellan had lost
twenty thousand men and had fallen back
seventeen miles. We also learned that the
rebels were evacuating Duvalrs Bluff, and
had already taken the ammunition and stores
to Little Rock. Gen. Curtis had his head
quarters at Col. Harris, who was killed at
Shiloh. The town is empty
July 11.-At daybreak an advance of .200O
cavalry, under Gen. Washburn, started for
Helena. sixty-fve miles distaut. Nobody
was aware of our coming. We charged into
town, heard of Il boat with men crossing to
the opposite side. Brought brass 4-pound
howitzer on the levee, fired few shots, and
brought up white flag on the boat and the
latter to this side. few negroes and citizens
were aboard. We did something smacking OF
war and the town was ours. The army will
be here in due time, holding communication
once more with the outward world
