A correspondent Of Que Of the New York
papers writes rom Washington Is follows

papers writes rom W ashington IS follows
have Just returned FROM a fortniehrs visit TO
| the army Of the Potomac, in which time tramped
through the mud more than once from right TO left
and from rear TO front Of encampments containing
certainly the best disciplined if not the largest
| army seen on the American Continent"
They who suppose the army Of the Potomac is
idle army err greatly. 1t works hard aud in
cessanty ceasing not for the ptiless storm nor the
burning heat Of such day as last Saturday, when
the vely air in those thick woods seemed to be on
! fire. The amount Of work it has done since land
ing on the peninsula must surprise every one WHO
passed along the line Of its marches and labors.
Miles on miles Of rife-piis; hundreds Of square
miles Of forest felled; hundreds Of miles OF road
cut through the wilderness and oveIlaid with
the trunEs-these you can see. Then tie army
being ready to move, the labor necessary to that
end may be to some extent appreciated, when il j.
known that at least 5000 wagons must be loaded
and unloaded for every change Of position. II the
same amount OF muscular power and horse had
been exercised in building a Pacific railway as has
been put in requisition to move the Grand Army
from " before yorktown" to before Richmond, the
great thorough-fare Of the future would already
be reaching out It's front across the Plains.
Gen. Ballecks army worked like galley slaves
before Corinth. The monuments Of their trials
will stand long time. Their effects will proba-
bly, be well appreci tied by the surgeons and nurses
by Beauregard. l believe The work OF McCe-
ian viii pe CTuNltQ Win more substantial
success, and am quite certain there has rot get
been any frightful amount of sickness among the
men,ss the with the Army Of the Missssip-
pi. But it will only take few days like Saturday
TO ell all the hospitals, and need Of a battle.
The camp grounds Of large army, moving slowly, |
are breeders of disease and death
Where the camp is permanent, the men dig wells, |
prepare sinks bury the oia out of sight and smell
When they stay but day or two at one place they /
cannot do these things, and Consequently they live
in atmosphere Of unhealthiness, breathe in con-
stantly compound Of vilainous smells, sickly, |
disgusting, ominOus OF all fevers. The water
they drink is surface water, not much better than
that which oozes up through the mud in the canal
where our Sixth st. crosses it. The hopes of VIC
tory-the confidence the soldiers have that their
hard labors will end before many days in the cap
ture of the rebel capital, nerve the to every
duty and keep the hospitals, as yet, comparatively
unburdened. They must get to Richmond before
he sun draws out the missma Of camp and swamp,
1r the army, SO hopeful 80 hard-worked, so cheer
ul will be under the charge, not Of the rebellion
1ut Of the doctors.

ROADS AID BRIDGEs.-We are glad to see
that the gully at the corner of Union and
College streets, which has for some months
made Union street impossible at that point,
is at last filled. The trestle-work sidewalk
across the ravine on Main street, is also
thoroughly repaired. The big gulf on the
Falls road at the head of the bill, has also
been filed. Pearl street has been covered
with loose dirt foot or two in depth, and
the roads in many other places considerably
- mended' If not always improved.
The aoutment on the Colchester side of
the Heineberg bridge Il to be rebuilt ten feet
farther back from the water, frightening the
bridge 50 much, and increasing the cost Of
the completed structure some 500.

DELICATE CoNvENrIoNs.-We are glad to
see that the fair and equitable method of al
lowing the people to be represented 10 their
conventions by delegates of their own selec-
ton. instead of by an irresponsible "mass''
of whoever may choose to turn out to them,
Is growing in favor. Rutland, Windsor,
Bennington and Chittenden Counties, have
deliberately adopted the plan, instructed
their committees to call delegate conventions
and will not be likely to go back to the old
method. The others will follow soon-and
in time mass conventions for business will be
a,.unheard of in this, as they are in most Of
the other States of the Union.

TION AND EMANCIPATION.
BAlTnoRE. ~. June h. -.


Ny DEAR SIR In the hasty note Of the sth
June siagulariy enough forgot TO mention the
most pointed and conclusive authority Tor cJnfs-
cation by emancipatian.
The Jaws of the United States in the District Of
Columbia prohibited the importation Of slaves
for sale or residence, declared the slave imported
frss and punished the importer by fac.
These laws were adopted by Congress from the
laws Of Virginia and Maryland. They have been
repeatedly enfor- in both those states. Every
gentleman practicing IN the courts Of the District
has enforced the freedom vested by these Laws. 4
have myself, in more than one instance, success
fully asserted the claim before the courts Of the
District and Of Virginia, and the Supreme Court
has sustained 10 repeated instances the validity
Of the law. The most recent case that 1 recall Is
that Of Rhodes ys Bell G Howard, 800. Decided
in ls44.
Those are old laws passed in the good old time,
before men were smitten with madness. But the
Compromise acts Of NJ. Clay, passed in $50, en-
body the same principle. The law Of lsjO forbid
ding the introduction Of slaves into the District
Of Columbia foT sale, declared the slave so import
ed h5.r4fsi and free. No greater name than Mr..
Clay can be cited on any constitutional question:
and the name Of President Fillmore ough: surely
70 satisfy ;he most timid Of conservatives. Never
were laws more keeuly contested, more yrayely
considered, or adopted by ADLER men than the
famous Compromise acts Of 1850 and l. would
=
err in company with the men Of 1850 than be right
with the doubtful friends or recent foes OF the he
public in 1862,
These laws and these judgments Of the Courts
under them dispose + the whole question Of con
fscation By emancipation, without indictment and
conviction Of the guilty person, but By civil pro-
cess on reAalf Of the person freed Tor the master e
illegal act. Tue process for enforcing the freedom
Of the slave by sllf IN the nam. II the negro
against The owner Tor fre'd9Hl, in the form Of an
ordinary action Of respass aud the title 20 freed
was uefsd by operation Of law Immediately on the
eousGmmatIon Of the act Of forfeiture; and the
suit was merely the Judicial form Of authen;icat-
Ing the title the law had vested.
If you see ft To publish tlis note IN c0nfrna
ton end illustration Of the views formerly pre-
seuted, you are az liberty % DO 20. Had thought
Of this case, very familiar in my legal expert
ence and in that OF every gentleman Of the Bar
in this region, shoIld have spared you a long
dissertation by this decisive authority.
