forces at Yorktown are six thousand; other
parts of the Peninsula, including Great Beth
el, fifteen thousand more. Yorktown is pro-
tected BY breastwOrks armed with heavy
guns. There are similar Notifications three

A force is hard at work building classmates.
THE WINCHESTER PRIsoERRs.
Three hundred prisoners were taken by
Shields at Winchester.
BANKS COMMAND.
General Banks, according to intelligence
this morning, last night went within two
miles of Strashurg, which he would capture
to-day.
THE CAPITOL sUPERIETRN DESoY.
In debate on the proposition of Senator
Foote to transfer The superintendeney Of the
Capitol Extension, from the War to the Int
Department Hale said the Capitol was al
ready ruined by MeigS and is suffering for
want of completion. He referred to the IN
healthiness of the Senate Chamber, and to
the Italian artist even now at work, on
e1travagant compensation, ornamenting the
walls two or three stories below daylight
Foste said the transfer from the civil to the
military superintendeney had cost six mil
lions expended merely to crafty JEFF Davis,
Pierce's Secretary Of War. It would be true
economy to complete at once. Foote also
referred to the contract with LieutE for stair !
painting at twenty-6 Eve thousand dollars, to |
be followed by three others, and no work
proceeding on the Treasury Department. 1t
would be better and more economically done
under civil superintendent. he intimated
that the Capitol, after twelve years labor,
was an unfinished, unsightly structure
Fessenden thought we could wait till the
war was over and Meigs was st leisure.
There were only three nays to thirty.four |
yeas on the resolution.
A FEMALE sLAVEHoLDINe REBEL.
From testimony it appears that the Mrs !
Bell who, according to Garrett Davis, hires
her slaves out at from $3.50 to $500, is a vio-
lent rebel, openly expressing sympathy with
the rebels.
