VAeHlukIous July ID,
The confscation bill has not vet been
returned to Congress with the Presidents
approval. 1t 10 generally thought his re-
quest for prolongation Of the Sepate has
reference to That measure. There is some
hesitancy in signing the act. e
A report has heen current to-day that
the President is preparing veto message
while another rumor among politicians
state that he will suggest notifications Of
the bill. In either event there is NO
doubt. judging from the large majority
which it was passed, namely oftwo thirds
in the Senate and nearly 20 10 the House,
that Congress will not adjourn with re-
curing measure of that character. The
Border State Representatives to-day final
y agreed upon their reply to the Prcsi-
dents emancipation policy. 1t is repre-
scented as temperate aud respectful. They
cannot for reasons endorse his policy and
differ from his belief that the declination
OF these States to act upon and adopt it
may or will prolong the war. 'Thoy join
that the commentator that those Sntes
give resrectfr! consideration, hn. 70
way commit themselves to its support.
Probably twenty members Of Congress
have been in consultation on the subject.
some of these from the border slave States
were not present at the meeting, while
other have left the city, Several will pre-
pare reply of their own.

WINCHESTER, July 8, 1852.
Hon. ID. W. Gooch:
DEAR Sir; In answer to your inquiry
have the honor to say that there il no
foundation Of fact for the statement
contained In the resolutions inriused to
me. No person not belonging to the
army, white or black, was allowed to oc-
cupy or use Government transportation
Of any kind on the march of my com
mand from Strasburg If any instance
occurred it was, with one exception, not
only without authority, but against or
ders, and has not yet come to my knowl-
edge. Citizens, traders, refugees and fu-
gitives were protected in the occupancy
OF their own wagons, and allowed to move
with the Government train, in order, no
further. The rear-guard. infantry and
artillery, halted in the rear Of Martins
burg, from 10 o'clock till evening. When
ut considerable distance on our march. we
overlook small party on foot. NY at
tention was attracted by little girl about
eight years Of age, who was toddling over
the stones by the way-side, and asked
her how far she had travelled. "From
Winchester" she said. We were then
about twenty-seven miles on our march.
| requested the cannoneers to give her D
lift, and the gallant men, who had hung
upon tho rear of the column for it's de-
Tense the greater part Of the distance.
answered with alacrity. No successful
efforts were made to ascertain her com
plexion, but il ID not impossible that she
belonged to the class referred to in thu
resolution, and that her little limbs had
been strengthened BY some vague dream
Of liberty. 70 be lost or won in that hur
ried night march.
