when the question was taken on the preamble to
this resolution. but objection was made by Mr.

WINCHESTER, VA. June 10, 1862
Hon. D. " Gooch:
Sir-1n answer to your resolution of INQUIRY I
have the honor to that there is no foundation of
fact for the statement contained in the resolution
enclosed to me. No person not belonging TO the
army white or black, was allowed to use or occupy
Government transportation of any kind on the
march OF my command rom Strasburg. If any in.
stance has occurred it was with one exception not
only without authority, but against orders and has
not yet come to my knowledge Citizens traders
refugees &C, were protected in the occupany of
their own wagons, and allowed to move with the
Government trains in order, nothing further
The rear guard of infantry and artillery halted
In the rear of Martinsburg from two o'clock till
evening When at considerable distance of our
marcn we overlook small party on foot
My attention was attracted by little girl about
eight years OF age who was toddling over the
stones by the wayside, and l asked "How far she
mad ma travelled = From Winchester" they said.
We were then about twenty seven miles ON our
march. requested the cannoniers TO give her a
lift and the gallant men who had hung upon the
rear OF the column for its defence the part
the distance answered with alacrity. No success

but it is not impossible that she belonged to the
class referred to IA the resolution and that her lit
tie limbs had been strengthened by some vague
dream OF liberty to be lost or won that hurried
night march.
have the honor to be, with much respect. vour
ooeuient servant, N. p. BANKS,
Major General Commanding.
THE CORRESPONDENCE ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE
Its ACCoMMODATIONS-wHYI IT WAS GUARD
ED, AND NOT USED IS HOSPITAL.
The correspondence on the sabiect of the White
House, on the Pamunkey river lust laid before the
House of Representatives is interesting. General
Mcclellan In his telegram in reply to Secretary
Stanton, (Which stated that urgent complaints were
made that the rebel General Lees property was
protected and the necessities of our suffering SOL
diers demanded its use and that the soldiers had 10
buy water where they were.) says that the Sec.e.
tarys dispatch struck him with pain and astonish.
ment' and adds that the story about the soldiers
purchasing water is without foundation. General
Mcclellan then adds:
Il have given special direction to protect the pro
perty of the White House from any unnecessary
injury or destruction because 1t was once the pro-
perty of General Washington and cannot believe
that you will regard this a canss for rebuke or
censure. l protect no houses against use when
they are needed for sick wounded soldiers Per.
sons VINO endeavor TO impose npon you such mali.
cious and unfounded reports as those alluded to,
are not only enemies to this army but to the cause
In which we are now fighting"
BRUTE's LETTER,
The following letter, published In the Vnig was
found on the dead body of Yankee after the ba,
tie Of Gainess Mill. 1t is dated North Middle toro
Mass, June 18th:

what fear this result since Eastern and Western
collision seems to have shown Itself in our Con-
gress. There Is, probably. less sympathy for tie
slave at the West than In New England, from The
fact that the capabilities of black men, in statesOf
abect servitude are better known there than
among us, and that the Western people know less
and think less, Of the eleyatiug power of freedom
and OF education, il the negro race, th an we do,
who estimate men according to mental, rather than
according 10 their mere animal powers. Ii we can
aid in opening the Mississippi to Western trade this
