WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Senate has
passed the bin authorizing the construction of
tie Northern Pacific railroad, to run from the
west and of Lake Superior to Puget Sound
and branch to the navigsble waters of the
Columbia river. Alternate sections of public

Mr.. Mallory secured an amendment to the
tariff bill to-day, requiring all hemp used in
our navy to be of American manufacture.
Mr.. Shellaberger got in a proviso that it
must be in all respects equal to the imported
article.
The town is full of rumOrs about the dis
missal of Secretary Stanton. No reasons are
given, and no successor named. There is ne
responsible source for the rumors, still they
are repeated with persstency that looks as if
there must be something of some sort in the
wind to give rise to them.

GEN. Fremont Leaves his Command


WASHINGTON, June 29.-General Fremont
has turned over his command to Gen. Rufus
King, and arrived at Baltimore this morning
at o'clock. He was expected to proceed
Immediately on special, which had already
been ordered for Secretary Seward, to New
York.
His staff quartermaster and commissary, as
well as those from McDowell's and Banks
corps, have reported to Gen. Pope to inform
him of their state of readiness for active ope-
rations.
Gen. Fremont did not at first ask to be re-
lieved OF his command. He forwarded a
request for ten days leave of absence 1t was
understood that he would have awaited him.
self OF this to represent TO the war Office and
the President the injustice of calling him out
OF his department only to deprive him of the
command OF any department, and to place
him under his bitterest personal enemies, and
SO his request was CURLY refused. He then

FLAX CoTToN.-Much interest is expressed
in the modes recently discovered of making
fax into q substance closely resembling cotton.
By the Ceaussen process the fax fbres are
chemically separated--and by the Lyman plan
they are separated by being fired once or twice
being about two hundred pounds to the square
inch. A new mode has just been tried at the
mills of sampson g. Tappan, at Roxbury,
Mass, and samples give much satisfaction, as
showing that the product will be well adapted
for mixing with wool, for making fine thread,
and for other purposes. BY this last move the
fax is passed through rollers of an inch dame
ter, and the principal difficulty seems to be the
limited amount of work that can be done by
such small rollers. Mr.. Lyman is about to
make arrangements for securing q sufficient
supply of fax from Illinois and other portions
of the great West, to keep his steam guns
busy

WE learn that fifteen thousand soldiers will
be raised in Tennessee for the suppression of
guerillas and home traitors. Five thousand
will be assigned to each division of the State.
Several of the most popular and experienced
men in the State are at the head of this most
excellent movement.
A similar movement would dc great good
in Kentucky. No doubt much larger pre-
portion Of the Union men of this State than
those of Tennessee have gone into the Union
armies, but there are still loyal men enough at
home to put down the guerilla bands if they
will openly organize for the purpose. And
we know not how they could well do better
thing.

The Meeting of the Conservative.

WASHINGTON, Jane 2s.-The Senate has
adopted Mr.. Clark's motion to substitute the
bill reported by its committee for the House
confscation bill, by vote of 81 to II.
The meeting, according to the call extended
to conservative members, was held in the hall
of the House of Representatives this afternoon
A series of resolutions were submitted and
adopted, declaring that they met in no party
spirit that the war should not be prosecuted
any further than the suppression of the rebel
lion; and the States, when the rebellion is
suppressed, should repossess and exercise the
rights secured them by the Constitution.
The meeting re-affirmed the Crittenden res
olutions.
Discussions took place, during which avow-
ais were made that, while the rebellion leaders
should be severely punished, an enlightened
policy toward the Southern masses should be
indulged, &c.

I TWAsRrNeToS, June 29.-- Washington streets
I've swarmed with rumors all day long
loedy work at Richmond is generally believed

| AT the conservative caucus of Congressman
ssterday, attended by thirty-fve Democrats
| Id border State men, speeches were made
flgnihcant of the foundation of new party,
opposing the rebellion on the one hand, and
uaranteeing slavery on the other.
Holman, of Indiana, took part. He said the
lme for general amnesty had not yet come,
Int sll confscation and emancipation schemes
aust be rebuked.
Menzies, of Kentucky, said if such laws are
sssed an appeal must be taken to the people,
lFho would not let them remain on the statute
pooks.
Resolutions asserting that the Union must
be preserved and rebellion put down, de-
nouncing coniscation, and declaring the
slave States not Invested of any rights, were
passed.
The inSl debate in the Senate on Saturday,
on confscation, was intensely interesting. Mr
Wade made strong speech, devoted chiefly
to deploring the effect which the defeat of an
efficient confscation bill would have on public
opinion and the ultimate success of the war
He said he represented s. constituency of one
sentiment Oh the ssbiect, who were admonish-
ing him in favor of the most vigorous prose-
eution of the war. He declared the vote de-
feating the House bill would ring through the
slave regions of the South with yell Of tri-
umph like a great victory, greater than the
+ defeat of our army before Richmond He was
sorry to find so many of his fellow Republi-
cans joining hands with Democrats against this
+ just and necessary measure, from a division OF
sentiment and vindictive feeling arising from
no difference of principle.
Mr.. Fessenden referred to what he consid
cred Mr.. Wade's imputation upon the integ

Browning voted against it, not believing il
any confscation, while Chandler and Howard
voted nay on other grounds.
There IS great joy over the result, excep

amounts to nothing, unless the Presiden
chooses to make it effective.
Opinions are divided about conference Q

TIE STENCIL OF FAIR OAKs.-One of the
most unpleasant features of our position at
Richmond is the stencil which arises from the
battle field of Fair Oaks, around and in which
some of our troops are encamped. The
eff1uvia is of such strong character as to
sicken even veterans at times. We shall
never know the real loss of human life at Fair
Oaks. The other day lot of over $50 dead
rebels were found in o clump of woods which
had not been previously examined. So far
decsyed were these bodies that our soldiers
could not approach the spot long enough to
bury them.-Philadelphia Press.

made a speech in Pulaski, Tenn, in which he
recants on the secession question. The fol-
lowing sentence, which our readers may &C
cept as prophecy, occurs in the report of
what he said:
The struggle is, after all, struggle for
American nationality. The Federal Govern
ment will succeed in this war. Its power is
sufficient TO lear us out in triumph. Let us
recognize the fact aud act accordingly. We
cannot fold our hands in idleness. The die
tates of true manhood forbid it"

rank-Fremont ranking major-general in tie
regular army, coming next to Mcclellan, if
he does not, as some insist, rank him alsa.
Pope is captain Of engineers, and his major
general rank is in the volunteer service.
Some of Fremont's friends say he should
have have been sent back to his original noun
tain department, from which he was called in
the present emergency brought on by the i'm
becility of others, only that he might be net
by humiliation.
Still all hands agree that there was absolute
necessity for some head to the operations in
the Shenandoah valley; that Pope as the Sc
lection, was an admirable one and that il was
impossible to avoid these vexations of rank in
dlsposing of such congregation of major
generals.
There is some feeling also on the pant OF
Mcdowell and Banks friends, but it will
not likely lead to anything.
Pennsylvania and Ohio iron men are urging
higher duty than the present one in the new
tariff on manufactured iron. The COMMITTEES

interests will be satisfied before the bill
