permit drafted militia to become volun-

y months to , years. This will doubt
less result in the conversion of many
drafted militia into volunteers for 3 wears

volunteers have heretofore enjoyed.
The draft passed off yesterday in every

the purpose of killing the child. They
proceeded to the spot and found the poor
boy ina horrid condition, emaeiated to a
mere skeleton, his clothes torn to shreds
and covered with filth, with hardly en-
ough life in him to stand up.
The child was rescued by them and de.
livered to a neighbor, and on the day fol-
lowing, on complaint of one of them,
Justice Nicola, warrant was issued for
the apprehension of the inhuman father.

An impression prevails here that there
e some truth in the rumor that whiio in
Maryland the rebel General forwarded to
this Government overtures of peace.
which leading Southerners believed
would be accepted. If such proposition
was made. there is no doubt that it has
been declined by the Federal govern

Our special correspondent at Harper's
Ferry sends the following dispatch to-
day at noon:
The forces that started from here on a
reconnaissance toward Winchester and
whom our dispatches last left quietly
encamped at Charlestown, returned to
Bolivar Heights, the object of the expe.
dition being fully accomplished.
Our special correspondent at Sharps-
burg sends us the following reply from
the force which crossed Black Ford yes
terday on reconnaissance:
Small squads of the enemy were en-
countered all along the way, but they re-
treated without any serious opposition
The principal force which the enemy op-
posed to us was two regiments OF cavalry.
and two pieces of artillery. During the
advance We had one man killed and three
wounded. Four dead rebels were diseov.
cred on the wayside.
The impression prevails that the reb-
els have evacuated Martinsbure and per-
haps the entire section of county in the
vicinity. 1t seems clear that we will not
have much to fear from any force the reb-
els may.have posted near the opposite bank
of the river.
The force sent over Black river will
return tonight.

We have just received the following
dispatch from one of the Worlds CORES
pondents at Harper's Ferry, it is dated [
p. M: The double reconnaissance, made
yesterday and to-day, has been most bril-.
liant and successful, Its object was to
discover the enemy in force Both ex.
peditions were ordered to return at 8 A.
NJ, and are now coming into camp.
The enemy has been discovered in force
between Bunker Hill and Winchester.
The main body occupy line parallel with
bunker Hill and Berryyitfe, with the
right flank on the Shenandoah, covered
by cavalry.
The expedition under Gen. Humphrey
from Porter's corps which crossed at
shepherdstown pushed on miles beyond
L |. converging towards Hancock IS
division. They met the advance of one
infantry brigade, 8 pieces of artillery, and
two regiments of cavalry beyond kearny-
vile, when splendid skirmish ensued;
the enemy being forced back. We lost
| killed and two wounded. The rebels
lost 2 killed and several wounded, whom
they left in our possession.
Our force pushed on until they got to
Leetown, when they encamped and were
unmolesttd during the night.
Thus morning Gen. Humphrey pushed
his advance beyond Leetown, when he re-
ceived orders to fall back, which he sue
cessfnlly accomplished. The enemy re-
tired upon their main body at Bunker
Hill.
Gen. Hancock is now returning from
his reconnaissance, having fully accom-
pllshed his object namely the capture of
1000 bushels Of wheat in the possession
Of Union men, and having ascertained
more completely the position of the enc |
my.
Our plckets pushed out this morning
hree miles from Charleston on the Der.
.yville road. The enemy's pickets hav-
ng been drawn in that direction.
Last night Capt. Reno with squadron
If cavalry made reconnaissance to with
