WASHINGTON MILITARY Goss1P,-A Washing.
ton letter in the New York Post says:
"The latest news from Richmond convinces
military men here that the rebels do not out
number Gen. Mcclellan in effective troops
certainly not by more than Jackson's division
OF 10000 men, who will soon be obliged to re-
turn to their old headquarters at Gordonsville or
Staunton, unless the rebels mean to abandon all
Northern Virginia. Deserters state that the
rebels will adopt new style of tactics, and will
not venture either to attack our troops behind
their intrenchments, or to blockade the James
river. They have wholesome fear of our pun.
boats, and can have no hope whatever in cuttinp
off the supplies Of McClelan's army and the oc.
casional firing into transport vessels is meant to
harass rather than to destroy. Gen. Pope has
made his preparations so that if the rebel lea.
ders see fit to put fifty or sixty thouzand troops
under Jackson to threaten Washington again he
will be ready to meet them. Better than that
he will improve upon the old tactics; if they do
not send jackson this way Pope will compel
them to do so or lose their important railway
connections at Gordonsville and Stanton. This
il evident to all since the advance force under
Gen. Hatch entered Culpepper Court House
This is the farthest advance into the heart o
Virginia yet made. 1t is probable the next
| fighting will be this side of Richmond, and moi
| on the other. If SO, the veteran soldiers of the
peninsula army will have the quiet and rest theJ
SO much need. Gen. Pope has left town, heal
and is with his troops"

TIE CoNrIscAr,os BILL PAssED.-Ths Con-
fscatiou Bill which has at last received the Pres
ident's signature, is most sweeping and revolu-
tionary in its provisions. It clothes the Presi-
dent with absolute authority for suppressing the
rebellion, and authorizes him to issue Procla.
nation calling on the rebels to return to their
allegiance within sixty days, under certain pen
allies. 1t Furnishes treason with death, or inn
prisonment for not less than five years, and
ine of ten thousand dollars, to be levied on real
and personal property and the slaves, if any to
be freed in all cases. The personal property OF
all persons engaged in the rebellion shall be for
feited to the United States, except slaves, who
are to be free, and persons who invite or assist
in rebellion are subject to fine and Imprisonment,
the same as for treason. Persons convicted of
treason shall be incapable of holding Office, and
the President may Immediately seize the proper
ty of rebels for the use of the United States The
Fugitive Slave law is limited in its operations to
the slaves of loyalists, and the slaves Of rebels
who may come into our lines are declared forev-
er free. The President is authorized to take
measures for colonizing the liberated slaves, and
empowered to employ them in any way he may
deem most advisable for the public benefit. FL
nally, the President is invested with power to
declare an amnesty 10 prisoners.

IT BEATS THE DEv1--Speaking of jokers we
meet with good many of them lodging about
the country but it's seldom that we see one
that's sharper or quicker on a good hit than our
friend, J. D. Lyman, cashier of the Pennington
Bank, N. II. Though great wit, he possesses
the dignifed qualifications for presiding at a
meeting equalled by few and consequently at au-
gust assemblies such as political demonstrations
war meetings, elections, sc. he often has to take
the chair. At late election friend Lyman was
" moderator;" and just as the polls were being
closed and vanquished politicians were getting
noisy and ready for knock down with any one
who should have the politeness to tread on their
coat tails, rough, double-breasted shoulder hit
ter pushed through the crowd, swinging his long
arms indiscriminately at friend or foe and ex-
claimed:

Well, don't that beat the deuI?" sccreeched

HOURS.

Tripping lightly through the sunshine,
Creeping mid the shadowy gray,
Ever swiftly fitting, fitting,
Speed the golden hours away.
Laden they with joy or sorrow.
Pain or pleasure, smiles or tears,
All are under sailing orders.
Hours are golden censors. bearing,
Incense Offering evermore;
Shining coils, undoing swiftly,
Till they reach the other shore.
Some among the links there may be
Rusted Ger with bitter tears ...-
Light and shade are deity woven
In the canopy of years.
Sheen and shadow intermingle,
And the hours, so sweet and fair,
Change full oft to weary ages,
Through the weight of woe they bear.
Yet the cup of cruel bitter
May be to us for healing given;
And our funeral lamps be watch. fires
On the outer walls of heaven.
Happy hours, o, words can never
Half their depth Of meaning give;
How their benediction brightens
All the world in which we live!
Golden hours like shining headlands
Jutting DER the tide of Time;
Rising DER the wrecks of sorrow,
Crown'd with majesty sublime.

DISPATCHES from Warrenton, Va, have been
received. A MIR. Scruggs, who edited the Var.
senton Wing before the Rebel army fell back,
arrived in Washington on Saturday morning di.
rect from Culpepper- Court House. He talks
very freely about matters in the South and thinks
the hardest battle of the war will be fought be-
tween Culpepper and Gordonsville. He says he
was mot at Richmond during the late battles
but has conversed with a large number of prom
inent perso1sswho we're, and from all he car
learn, thinks, the Northern papers have not ex
[aggerated the Rebel loss which cannot be lesi
than 81, 600 or 10000.
The movements now on the taps in other di
rections than the Peninsula, cause the Rebel
leaders great anxiety, and much apprehension
is expressed with regard to their ability to hole
Richmond.

LOVE AND LUNACY.

Inc following love songs were written by an
inmate Of the Utica Lunatic Asylum. They are
about as absurd as some of the poems written by
people in their senses.
Gaily the tiger cat tuned his guitar,
Serenading the maybe with feathers and tar;
sweetly he sneezed at her, sourly he sighed,
Lady bird, lady bird wilt be my bride?
She for the elephant sadly had pinned,
Ate but an OK, and then vowed she hadn't dined;
Carried photograph close to her heart,
Wrapped up in Holsters, bank notes and plum tart.
At midnight the rivals met in the whale,
And fought by the light ofthe grasshopper's TAIL
The elephant stood on his trunk to take BREATH
And the tiger cat costly Rugged him to death.
Then with a cabbage stalk boldly he wrote:
sCome, love and tread on the tail of my coat;
See thy own crocodile whistling for thee"
He groaned-gave gurgle-a cold corpse was he !
