SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAs CORPUs IN

perhaps be Mortified at the intelligence re-
ceived from Richmond, that the Congress
has renewed the act for the suspension of
the habeas corpus in the Confederate States
by a large majority. In the course of a
spirited discussion upon the subject, Mr..
Baldwin, of Virginia, I" undertook TO saw

SLAVERY AS Conserved BY WAR.-A re-

devastation caused to the State of Virginia
by the invasion of the National armies. de-
clare that 10000 slaves had been lost to
their owners In the States of Tennessee.
Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri, so many
have not been lost, but probably half the
number. In South Carolina, Georgia and
Louisiana, we may safely assume that half
as many more have been released from bon
dage. These calculations give grand to-
tai of Co., 900 slaves wholly lost to Southern
masters by reason fthe war These slaves.
at valuation of $500 each, represcr q
wealth of thirty millions Of dollars
But during all the time when these lossa,
were occurring, our Government was mot
making emancipation speciality, but quit,
the reverse. Gen. Halleck's order kept
slaves in the West wholly out of our lines.
and in the East the policy of our generals
was sufficiently dubious to render the Union
camps a doubtful place of refuge to the flee
ing contraband.
But, if thirty millions dollars worth Of
slaves were lost, in one year, under a con-

fairly at work? The rebels say they will
fight till they "get their rights, and among
these rights at present is property in slaves
If they are pleased with the auspicious pros.

as well as independence, then we conclude
that SO complacent people never before
risked their lives and property on the wa

The Washington Star Of Friday p.

Mcclellan still had his headquarters
near Sharpsburg yesterday, when Sum-
uer occupied Bolivar Heights.
Gen. Williams, Of Banks corps, oc.
oupies the Maryland Heights, and
Burnside's artillery forded the river at
Harper's Ferry.
The new pontoon bridge was doubtless
finished last night, and We believe Burn
sides infantry crossed upon it this fore
noon.
Much of the rest Of Nc Clellan's army
was yesterday in the vicinity Of Will
Transport.
sour pickets occupy the country in
Virginia three miles out from Harper's
Ferry, where they met those of the reb-
els. The latter 10 believed to have been
in considerable force. There were pick
ct guards near that point, and they are
supposed to be in force, principally at
Winchester.
1t is evident to US that there will be
a movement of Mo Clelan's post a. soon
as his army is supplied.
Our troops are in good spirits, and
eager to get at the rebels.n
Another week of such nights o. they
have experienced will compel them
either to attack or move South. In view
of the fact that numerous Germans are
complaining of the recent transfer Of
Sigel's troops from his command, we
hear that his force is now being increas-
cd very heavily, and We We shall not be
surprieed in short time to find it 49,
900 or 10000 stronger.
The rebels are still engaged in re-
building the railroad bridge over the
Isappahannock, and occupy Warrenton
with = single regiment. This is the
nearest point to Washington at which

Passengers from Norfolk and Fort

A division under an able fighting Cen

Railroad bridge, in hopes Of capturing

1t is thought probable that this feder-

tons have been sent out, which have
captured great quantities of wheat aud
corn. A large number Of negroes have
been brought into our lines by our
