WASHINGTON, June Il.
/ No further particulars Of General Shields en-
ment.
Advioes from General McClellan's head quarters
\ this evening state a reconnaissance made this
/ morning as far as Meadow Bridge found the enemy
/ quiet but in force. Some skirmishing had taken
/ place during the day, but with little result on
! either side. The weather is good, and the roads
/ improving.
The Circuit Court to-day, in the matter OF John
and William Jackson, claimed as fugitiYes BY Dem
/ MS Duval Of Maryland, reiterated its former de-
cision IN refusing to admit testimony to the 10y
atty Of the claimant but permitted the admis sion
/ OF testimony as 10 whether the slaves had been
/ actually engaged in aiding the rebellion.
The fugtiyes were returned to the claimant
The counsel for the slaves claimed that the
Court should return the fugitiyes only on the re-
/ QUESTION Of the Governor Of Maryland, hut the
Court decided against the point.
Adjutant General Thomas was tTansacting busi-
ness as usual at the War Department to-day.
This is a sufficient reply to the statement that
he had been suspended from Office. 1t is not
known to his most intimate friends that court OF
inquiry, as reported at a distance, Is engaged in
Investigating any of his official transactions.
The Richmond Examiner ofthe 9th inst. devotes
its editorial columns TO deplOrng such fact that
there Is found no individual desperate and weary
Of living from the Wretchedness this invasion has
brought on him, to substitute what may be an
lgnOminious suicide for a glorious martyrdOm.-
This is intended, doubtless, an incentive 70 the
assassination of the U. 5. officers who have taken
possession Of the rebel territory.
The paper is printed on a half sheet, and isa
striking evidence Of the impoverished condition
Of affairs in Richmond.
Tribune correspondence:
Representative Maynard, of Tennessee, received
telegram from Gov. Johnson tonight, to the ef-
feet that the rebels were reported refreatip from
Cumberland Gap towards Chattanooga. Ifthis is
so East Tennessee is at last freed, and Gen. Nor
gan can Immediately take possession.
The Conference, appointed on the part Of the
House, on the tax bill, are Messrs. Thaddeus Ste
vens, Morrill, Of Vermont and Holman of Indiana
On the part Of the Senate, Fessenden, Harris and
Henderson.
Times dispatch:
An order viii be issued probably to-morrDw
modifying the regulation governing brigade sus-
geons, by placing them under the more imInedi-
ate control Of the Surgeon General, who will direct
their services wherever they may be required.
A gentleman from Fredericksburg direct states
that when the bridge across the Rappahannock
was swept away by the food the other dnyy the
SecessiOuists Of both sexes assembled on the
bank and manifested their delight by cheering
and waving hats and handkerehiefs, yet no one
was arrested.
The few Union citizens of the place complain
bitterly that the protection given to rebel property
Is DENIED & FP y JthsEHt Pe PFederness hi as to Res Rees e
lot Of the poor Unionists peculiarly hard.
When lfan- D.s.l.i>-ls.s
head quarters the house Of a notorious rebel
who had three sous IN the rebel army, but Gen.
Mcdowell Instantly ordered Gen. Doubleday out
and placed guard to protect the house.
The following dispatch has just been transmit
ted to Secretary Stanton; also copy TO General
Casey:
HEAD QuARrERs, Army OF THE PoToMAoi
June Zip. NJ
To Hon E. NJ. STANTON, ,SEcRETARY OF WAR:
My dispatch Of the lst inst, stating that Gen
Casey's division, which was in the line, give way
unaccOuntably and disoreditably, was based upon
official statements made to me before arrived
upon the field Of battle, and while was there BY
several commanders. From statements made to
me subsequently by Generals Casey and Nagle,
am induced to believe that portion Of tht division
behaved well and made most gallant stand Ggainst
superior numbers. When the facts are clearly as
ceTetained the exceptional good conduct win be
acknowledged.
