THE WAR ON THE PENINSULA.
In executive session Senator Rice detail
ed his observation on the Peninsula, which
wereno particularly encouraging, espe-
cially as regards sickness In common
with others he condemned the exclusion of
the sick and wounded from the White
House where excellent spring water was
to be had to use. Another Senator asked
where the fault was Another answered
that it was McClellan's Gov Pierpont
expressed himself very strongly against
the policy compelling the army before Rich
mond to dig and fight by turns, and says
thousands Of contrabands should be en-
ployed for menial labors of the campaign.
Mr. POrter's emancipation substitute
carried in the House by 80 54. Most of
the. .absentees were on the other side, and
most, if not all Of the Republicans who
voted for a reconsideration, voted aye
DelanO, Diven, Changer, Harrison, HOr-
ton, Kellogg, Of Ill, Thomas, of Mass, and
both Rhode Island voted no, as before. A
decisive majority leads to the hope that it
will pass the Senate.

bodies of Union men, as tits believed, float
ing down the river.

PHYSICIANS.
By general orders from the Adjutant
Generals office, private physicians are to

Furloughs from captains or cOlonels are
not to be given; they are not sufficient to
relieve from the charge of descrtiOn. No
certificate of physician in civil life, unless
endorsed by military commander, will
avail. It is made the duty of military COM
manders to collect all stragglers and for
forward them to their regiments. Conva-
lescents, whether in army, State or private
hospitals, are required to report to the
nearest military commander, until sent
to join their regiments. Each military COM
mander is required to publish notice re-
quiring all soldiers to report themselves
without delay, on penalty of being consid-
cred deserters. No discharges are to be
given on account of rheumatism, or where
there is a prospect of recovery within a
reasonable time.
EMANCIPATION

with memorial requesting the President
to proclaim freedom to all slaves as means
of ending the war surely and speedily, ar
rived this evening.
Rev. Mr.. Charming, Unitarian, will
preach in the Senate Chamber while his
Church is in use as a Hospital.
GEN. BANKS COURSE.
The facts out of which Voorhees, story
that Gen. Banks had furnished, during his
late retreat, transportation to negroes
when it was denied sick and wounded SOL
diers, arose, are the following, and it has
no other foundation whatever: General
Banks, while with the rear guard on the
march between Martinsburg and Williams
burg, noticed three black women with a
child seven years old scarcely able to
move, walking in the same direction with
himself He humanely asked how far
they had walked, and they replied from
Winchester, twenty-five miles. Plying the
child, he requested the cannonier to let her
ride on the caisson, which he did. If the
Voorhees, and Vallandigham party wish this
for capital against Republican, let them
make the most of it.
OUR ARMY AT RICHMOND.
Ladies who visited McCleIlan's head
quarters Sunday say it was the impression
then that there were connections between
Mrs. Lees entrance into Richmond and the
rebel raid on the railroad Friday. A pro-
per return for the peculiar courtesy ex-
tended herself and family by Gen
eral Mcclellan, who sent her through
our lines into Richmond, where
She had abundant means Of getting neces-
saFy information of the defences of the rear
Col. E. N. Kisk of the 84th Illinois is
nominated Brigadier General.
