From WASHINGTON AND V1CINI7Y

Since an early hour on Saturday morning
Gen. Mcclellan has been deprived of his tele-
graph communication with Washington. He
abandoned its use several hours before the
wires were cut doubtless being fearful that
the enemy might, by placing a magnet on the
wires, read his orders. Direct communication
with Gen Mcclellan is now being opened,
however, by the gunboats up the mouth of
the Chickahominy, and all will soon be right
in this respect.
The report that Gen. Banks is dissatisfied
with the order placing Gen. Pope in command
OF the army Of Virginia is not true. General
Banks is soldier, and obeys orders Long
ago he expressed awiliingness to form a juno
ton with either Gen. Fremont or Gen. Nc
Dowell, and act in the field subordinate to
to them, if, by so doing, it would contribute
In the least to crush out rebellion
1t is stated that, on the recommendation of
the Governors of all the loyal States, the
President will call for 200, 900 volunteers to
hold the points already acquired, and close
the war.
1t will be seen that the President has made
call on the United States for SOC, 600 troops.
Advices from New Orleans state that trade
is reviying, and that the Union sentiment is
gaining strength. SO great is the crowd of
rebel soldiers pressing forward to take the
oath OF allegiance, that Gen Shepley has been

SLAVE CASE IN VERMoNT.-The Bellows
Falls Times has report of proceedings be-
fore Probate Judge Closson, on petition of
certain citizens of the town of Reading, that
a colored girl, brought to the town from the
State of Florida by Mr.. Calvin h. Robinson,
and held by him as a slave, should be put I'M
der the legal guardianship of Mr. Silas Pike,
on whom the selectmon had placed that duty.
An informal hearing of parties was had, dur
ing which 1t was stated by Robinson that tho
girl had been purchased by him. but that he
had signed certain papers with the view to
her manumission from slavery that he had
sent her to school, where she had been in
suited, had her hair pulled, and been called
IN derision Niger by certain boys, and
that Robinson had no objection to resign all
claim on her as chattel, but claimed the
right to be her guardian. Testimony was
given as to the usage the girl had received,
but II did not show that the child had been
abused. At the close of the hearing last
Tuesday, which lasted over five hours, Judge
Closson decided not to revoke the appoint
ment. Mr.. Pike is therefore the guardian OF
the child and be prefers that she should re-
main in the care of Mr.. Robinson but Mr..
X. declines to have her in his care, unless he
can have full control over her himself, and
will therefore deliver her into the immediate
possession Of her legal guardian.
