NEW York, April 2d.--It is said the SEN
ate Military Committee .dissen;s from the
rule that volunteer officers must seek for
promotion in their own branch of the
service only. They consider that vacan-
cies in the regular army should be filed by
experienced men from the volunteer regi-
nents in preference to civilians.

Prisoners taken in the recent reconnois-
sance to the Rappahannoek state that the
rebel force in that vicinity consists of eight
regiments of infantry, two of cavalry, and
pieces OF artillery. Gen. EwelI, of Drains
vile notoriety, was in command.
On the return of our forces to Warren

out skirts of our army and frequently sue

men, who contrary to commands go out on
fool-hardy foraging expeditions.
Information has just been received from

burg report that town now occupied by
thirty regiments of the enemy, the main
part of which have arrived there in tue last
three days. They report the steamer St.
Nicholas and one other, which formerly
piled to different ports on the Rappahan-

reported as having gone down York river

A Spy of the Revolution.

In the year 1776, when Governor
Clinton resided in Albany, there came
stranger to his house one cold win.
try morning soon after the family had
breakfast. He was welcomed by the
household and Hospitality entertained
A breakfast was ordered, and the Gov
crnor, with his wife and daughter EN-.
ployed in knitting, werJ sitting before
the FIRE, and entered into conversation
with him about the affairs of the coun
try, which naturally led to the inquiry
OF what was his occupation. The eau
ton aud hesitancy with which the
speaker spoke aroused the keen sighted
Clinton. He communicated his suspi.
cions to his wife and daughter, and
closely watched Lis every word and
movement.
Unconscious of this, but finding that
he had fallen among enemies, the stran
ger was seen to take something from his
pocket and swallow it. Meantim c.
Madam Clinton. with the ready tact of
women Of those troublesome times, went
quietly into the kitchen, and ordered
hot coffee to be immediately made, and
added to it a strong dose of tartar
emetic. The stranger, delighted with
the smoking beverage, partook freely oI
it, and Mrs. Clinton soon had the salts.

result. True to Scripture, tout of his
mouth was he condemned" A silver
bullet appeared, which upon examiua.
tion, was unscrewed, and found to con
tain an important dispatch from Bur,
goyne. He was tried, condemned, and
executed, and the bullet is still preserv-
ed in the family.

It Won't Take.


The following extract from the recent
proceedings of the rebel Congress al
Richmond, intimotes a disposition on
the part of one at least of its mem bers
to make an effort to seduce the people
Of the Western States from their allegi.
anee by offering them the bribe of free
commercial intercourse:
"In the House of Representatives
Mr.. FoOte offered a series of resolutions
favoring an aggressive war, also favor.
ing proclamation to the Northwes
tern States, offering to guarantee the
free navigation of the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers to their mouths, if they will
desist from the further prosecution Of
the war."
ThiSiS pretty smart movement, and
there can be very little doubt that the
members of the large organization of
Knights Of the Golden Circle in the
Western Stat es will heartily second the
proposition of Mr.. Foote; but we great.
ly doubt if the great grain growing
Northwest will be bought at such price.

and counted with confidence on the en-.
tire subjugation of the great mass oI
tn ir own people.
1t is also satisfaction to reflect that
the war is carried on by our Govern.
ment in accordance with the princip les
of the Constitution. The final extinc.
ton Of slavery is a subject which is left
to be disposed Of by the slave States.
Whether it is necessary or a duty to put
an end to this evil, is left for them to
decide. We of the North have little
more to do with it than to "stand still.
and see the salvation Of God"
Our Government is founded upon the
idea that intelligent men are able to
control themselves. This high esti q.
mate of human capacity, not recognized
in other countries, is here the founda
ton, the corner stone of our political
fabric. If we, the people of the Uni.
ted States, are not able able to control
ourselves, then our revolutionary fathers
have made a fatal mistake. IF the
foundation on which they have built is
thus insecure, then the Constitution
they have furnished will be Of no more
valne permanently than the paper on
which it is written, and this precious
fruit of their tolls and sacrifices must
perish.
There are people who believe that
President Lincoln disregar1ed the Con

propose to say something on this subject
