CHARACTERIZATION lii.

A Washington dispatch Of the 10th inst,
states that Mr. Bingham, from the Select
Committee on Gradual Emancipation. had
reported bill, of which ihe following syn
opsir is given:
Whenever the President shall be satisfied
that Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Iennes-
see or Missouri has adopted measures for the
emancipation Of the slaves throughout either
or all of these States. the President and Secre-
tory Of the Treasury shall deliver to such State
bonds equal ia valuation to the slaves accord
ING 10 the census Of 1860, providedtha no coni-
pensation shall be made to any State which
has aided the present rebellion. The bonds to
be delivered are not to exceed the aggregate OF
Sl8O,00O 900. For the purpose Of settling slaves
beyond the limits of the United States. the sum
of $40, 900, 900 is appropriated to be expended
in colonization, at the discretion OF the fresi-
dent. The benefits Of this act are not to ac-
crue to any State that does not pass an eman-
cipation law within FIVE years. The bill also
provides for complete emancipation within 2O
years The State receiving bonds and after
wards toleratng slavery shall refund all prin-
cipal and interest. The bill was referred to the
Committee OF the Whole on the State Of the
Union.
Unless the members of Congress, or
majority OF them have entirely lOst their
reason, we cannot believe that either uonse
will sanction such measure. The amount
OF compensation proposcd is an outrageous
swindle upon the tax payers of the nation.
Il proposes to pay the States named the
value Of their slaves Ia 1860. when ii is
we'll known that their slave property is not
al the present time worth more than one
fourth what il was worth two years ago.
The value Of slave property has deprecHt
ed in the Border States more than One-half,
and the number of slaves has greatly de-
creased since the war commenced. In any
event slavery must soon cease 10 exist in the
Border States, and unless there is speedy
cessation Of the war, of which there is now
no prospect, the institution will eventual
ly be bllted out in the Gulf States. The
continued agitation Of The ngger question:
will have a tendency to delay rather than
hasten emancipation, and the proper cOnrse
for Congress to pursue is 10 make provision
for carrying on the war and let slavery
take care 0f itself.

with those made for less than half the cost in

estogo, reached the mouth Of White river, and
Immediately passed on about eighty miles rom
the mouth, and near the town Of st. Charles
where bluffs run along the river. Some formid-
able batteries were discovered. number OF
siege guns were seen. Instantly the fleet pre-
pared for action, the guuboat Mound City Ia
king the lead. The rebels fred rapidly and so
did the National vessels. The engagement was
very severe, and each boat was doing excellent
service, when a rebel she'll entered easement

forth and filled the whole vessel. or the crew,
numbering Us men, but 2j escaped irjury, and
a hundred are either dead or dying. Numbers
to escape the scalding vapors jumped out Of the
port holes, hat were instantly shot from the
banks, which were lined with field pieces and
rebel sharpshooters. Col. Fitch asked permits
sion, as the batteries were strongly located, to
land his troops from the transports and storm
them. Leave was granted, and the Colonel ae-
complished the work in splendid style. Ills
troops, although meeting stern resistance
charged into the batteries, bayoneting the gun
ncrs at their posts. The success was complete.
Everything the rebels had was taken. About
twenty large guns, some field pieces, number
of arms, etc.

DEsPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH MADMAN.
The Placervlle News, Of Thursday last.
has the following particulars Of All eucoun-
ter with y madman:
A man entered the residence Of Col. F. A.
Bee, yesterday, about 10 A. ". SEEKING an axe
that was laying near the door, he drove Mrs.
Bee out, when she escaped to the house of Mr..
Swartz. Luckily, Mr.. Bee vas returning from
town. and on entering the house, was met at
an inner door, by the madman, who was armed
with a large iron pestlc, used for crushing
quartz, and who rushed upon him exclaiming,
al have come to murder y0u." Mr.. Bee ward
ed off the blow aimed at him, with heavy cane
receiving only slight cut on the side Of his
face. Then commenced an encounter for dear
life, against the desperate strength Of a mad
man. For twenty minutes, the unequal com
bat went on, demolishing, in the struggle, fine
ccntre-table, China and Japanese kcepsakes,
two glass doors, and in fact making general
wreck OF furniture. Three times Mr.. Bee
knocked the lunatic down, and each time failed
in holding him in that position. Although a
powerful man, Mr.. Bee was twice thrown quite
across the room. At length, finding his strength
giving way, and believing the contest too une-
quail he drew his revolver, lcvelled it at the
madman, and in moment more would have
ended it, but for the timely arrival Of MeSsrs.
Chubbuck, Figuera and others, who soon bound
him securely. Officer Turemnn was promptly
on hand, aud took the lunatic to Jail. The ap.
pearance of the madman, as he was taken up
Main street. covered with gore, indicated the
character OF the contest.

GEN. JOmNsTON's WoUND.- a Richmond
correspondent Of the Charleston Mercury,
giving sn account of the battle OF Fair
Oaks, or Seven Pines. in which Gen. JOS.
Z. Johnston was wounded, says:
Our loss is very heavy, particularly in off
GERS. Bcrden's Sharpshooters did their work
we'll, and unless something is done to check
them, promotions in the Confederate service
will be altogether too rapid and certain. Our
killed may not exceed five hundred; our woun-
ded nearly five thousand. Gen. Johnston was
wounded in the upper part of the right shoulder,
the ball or fragment Of she'll passing over and
burying itself in the muscles that cover the
shoulder blade. In falling from his horse, two
ribs were fractured. He is, therefore, perma-
nently disabled-at least for month or so to
come. Gen. Lee assumes command OF the ar
my. Generals Pettigrew and HattOn were
killed. Gen. Rodes and another Brigadicr,
whose name l cannot recall, were wounded.
The number of Colunels, Captains and Lieu
tenants killed and wounded | will not pretend
to estimate. Lieutenant Washington, of john
stons staff, while delivering an order, rode into
the enemy's lines and was captured.

TmE MILITIA BTLL.-The bill which late
ly passed Congress, authorizing the Presi
dent to call out all the militia of the coun'
Try, for period Of nine months. is called a
"drafting bill;" and from this II would
appear that the President is empowered 10
draft all able bodied men, between the ages
of eighteen and forty five, who refuse to
volunteer. The militia men Of the loyal
States number about four millions, and Of
course it cannot be necessary to call out
any thing like such force, and even IL
they could all be got ont, 1t would not be
possible for the Government TO arm and
equip them. II is probably the intention
Of the Government TO precipitate force of
about a million Of nine mouths men into
the Gulf States this fall, with instructions
10 "leave no rebel sentiment hehind them"

No SUoH CHBRRINa.-The Stockton Inde-
pendent says that as the Third Regiment was
river, man appeared from the ranch of Mr..
T. b. Parker, giving three cheers for jeff. Da-
Wis. The circumstance so excited some of the
soldiers that they fell upon the rebel and gave
him severe drnbbing. When the regiment
had arrived at its camping place, Col. COnnor
sent squad of men to arrest the man whe
checred for jeff Davis. They captured him,
took him to the camp and the last we heard of
him, he was engaged in packing sand upon his
back as punishment for his treason.
