WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Commits
sion appointed by Gen. Wool to inquire
into the condition of Migrants or contra
bands, say in their official report that they
started with the general proposition that
the military have not only the right, but it
is among its highest duties to avail itself of
any and all means within its control to per-
feet its discipline and render its discipline
secure or make it effective for an advance
against an enemy, and for these ends il has
the right to compel service or use from
anything animate or inanimate which
military necessity may demand; at the same
time they consider that necessity as the
only proper measure by which this power
can be exercised. The number of contra
bands is given at sos distributed at
Fortress Monroe e9I, at Camp Hamilton
743, and Camp Butler and Newport News
IA. Little inclination is manifested by
them 10 go North. Comparative few con-
trabands come to our camps. Tie Navy

treated as boys and receive $40 per month.

WAsH1NeToN, March 25th.-Gen. Shields
received dispatch from Mejor-General
Banks dated five miles beyond Strasbnrg:
The enemy are still in retreat and our
forces in hot pursuit. The loss of the rebels
must, however, be enormous. They have
abandoned wagons along the road filed
with the dead and dying. The houses on
the route are found crowded with the
wounded and dead. The dwellings in the
towns adjacent to the battlefield of Sunday
are also found filed with the wounded.
The inhabitants aided the rebels in carrying
off their wounded during the day, and in
burying them as quick as dead. Our artil-
lery makes terrible havoc among the enemy
in their flight, and the ront bids fair to be
one of the most dreadful of the war.
The following amendments to the tax
bill were adopted: Cattle brokers to pay
a license of $50; itlnerant vendors of
newspapers, bibles, and religious tracts, are
exempted from the definition of pedlars.
Lawyers and physicians to pay tax of $40.
Mr.. Blair offered an amendment taxing
slaves, which was defeated. An amend
ment was adopted providing that this bill
shall not interfere with States in taxing the
same articles. House adjourned.
