Cop6scatiOn.

There is now two bills before Con-
gress for the con6scation of rebel prop.
erty-separate bills being under con
sideration i'm each House. The radical
difference between the bills as reported
by the Select Committees on the sub
iect, is as follows: The House bill con-
fiscates real estate forever, and pro-
vides that property may be confiscated
without the verdict of jury against the
owners as guilty of treason. The Senate
bill con6scates the Interstate of real
property, and provides for trial by
jury. These are the two important
constitutional points, about which there
has been so much disagreement.
1t is certainly high time that this dis
agreement be brought to an eud, and
that both branches unite in the passage
of just and discriminating con6sca
ton act. Congress as well as our
armies should do thorough work
against treason and rebellion. The
leaders in this wicked rebellion, and all
who have wantonly and willfully aided
them in pIunging us into all this trouble
bloodshed, suffering aud expense
should not be allowed to escape sc
we're punishment. They are guilty Of
the greatest crime known 10 the law
and why should they not receive a pun
ishment proportionate to the magnitud,
of that crime? The man who coun
tenances the forgiveness of the rebels
letting them go unpublished. is in ou
Judgment little better than the rehcl
themselves.
And further than this, there is NJ
Justice in the North paying all the i'm
mense expenses of this war. The prop
erty of the leaders of this rebellion
and the property of all intelligent aid
1ers and abetters of it should be freel,
confiscated to the Government. 4
just discrimination might be made be
tween the masses who have been ca
joled and driven to take up arms, an,
the leading spirits and men of wealth
but the property of the latter to the las
dollar, of whatever kind, should b
) taken from them.

Repulse of Gen. Banks.

The news from the Shenandoah
Valley is certainly of character to ex-
cite apprehension, as the reports now
reach us. The division of Gen. Banks,
which has recently been materially re-
duced by the withdraw of troops with
which to reinforce Gen. Mcclellan and
other divisions, has suffered most dis
astrous reverse, superior force OF
rebels under Jackson having driven
them down the valley from S,rasburg
to Harper's Ferry, Williamsburgh, and
across the Upper Potomac into Mary
land. But few days ago he was be-
yond Harrisonhurg, far into the valley
of the Shenandoah. We therefore see
that he has fallen back long way, and
that Jackson and Ewell, of the rebel
army, are the advancing and attacking
force instead of the retreating, demon
allied army we. have heard of. In
falling back, Gen. Banks seems to have
met several considerable reverses. hit
The Federal force that has been TINS
compelled to retire from an important
section of country that was easily con.
quered from rebellion, must be small
probably not exceeding 5, 200 men-and
of course unable to make successful
stand against an attacking force that is
three or four times as large.
A great mistake was evidently made
when the large portion of Banks army
was Withdrawn. Jackson has been
prowling about in the mountains for
some time, awaiting just such chance
as was thus opened to him to make a
raid to regain his lost ground. 1t is a
most derlorable state Of things. The
Virginia Unionists, of whom there are
many in the Shenandoah Valley, are
once more the victims of rebel persecu
ton and outrage, and they can expect
no mercy from the advancing barbar.
ians. They will be murdered, driven
away and their property devastated, as
was the case when Fremont was recalled
from Missouri, aud when our forces
abandoned Jacksonville, Fla.

at 10 O'Clock to night, from Gen. Banks,
at Winchester. He moved from Stras
burg to Winchester to save his stores
and trains. His advance guard arrived
there at O'clock, all safe. A strong
attack was made on his train at Middle
town, by the rebels, but they were re-
pulsed. We lost few wagons, which
teamsters abandoned. Banks will re-
turn Immediately to Strasburg.
Col. Kenly, commanding the force at

gagement there have been received.
The enemy occupy Front Royal. Gen.
Geary occupies a strong position on
the Manassas Railroad at White Plains,
and has been reinforced.
The rebels attacked us at day break
in great force, estimated at Is, 900, con-
sisting of Ewell's and Jackson's divis-
ions. Our right and left wings stood
we'll for while, when two regiments
broke the lines under the fire of Il e
enemy. The right wing fell back and
were ordered to withdraw. They passed
through the town in considerable con-
fusion, but reformed and continued the
march in good order to Martinsburg,
% miles distant. Our entire force was
less than 1000, consisting of Gordon's
and Donnelly's brigades, with two
regiments of cavalry under Gen. Hatch,
and two batteries of artillery. Our
loss is considerable, as was that of the
enemy, but cannot now be stated.

NEW YORK, May 26.
The Ueralds correspondent from
General Banks division writes that
Z 900 men had been added to the rebel
force in the Shenandoah Valley, and
that the whole force was said to num-
her from Is, 900 to 10000, with thirty
four pieces of artillery, one of which
was a 34-pounder rified.
On the 9th of May he said there was
large rebel force in the mountains in
their vicinity, but that Gen Banks had
enough men to keep them back, bot il
appears that on the 18th both General
Shields and General Geary were with.
drawn from Gen. Banks command,
and their troops conferred to Mcdowell.
In letter of the 18th we find these
Generals and their forces had left TO
join Mcdowell, that two days pre-
viously union had been effected be-
tween the commands of the rebel Gems.
Johnson, Jackson and Ewell, and they
were marching upon the divided and

BALTIMORE, May 70.
The following is the statement OF
Capt. Geo. Smith, of the list Maryland
regiment, who succeeded in effecting
his escape in the fight at Front lSoyM
About / o'clock in the afternoon
negro mounted upon horseback came
dashing into camp crying out that the
rebels were coming in great numbers,
and they will surround you aud cut
YOU off. At first the men laughed a.
him, saying they bad waited so long for
them that they did not believe word
of it. As soon, however, as Colonel
Kenly saw the man he became satisfied
Of their approach. The long roll was
beaten and the men responded, spring
ing hastily to arms and forming in line
by companies. Very soon the rebels
made their appearance, and. strange to
say, not a single gun was fired by the
pickets of the First. Maryland Regi-
ment. 1t may have been in conse-
quence of the sudden turn of the road.
They were surprised and captured. Co.
A was ordered to deploy rs skirmishers
and support section of knapp's Penn
sylvania battery, which mustered about
forty men, in the meantime the Lieut..
Colonel of the 29ih Infantry with a
small detachment of his men, who had
been acting as pioneer corps, also
formed and prepared to receive the
enemy. The battery was soon en-
gagged and discharged shot and shell
for near two hours, until nearly all its
ammunition had been expended. The
firing was splendid and there is no
doubt of its efficiency. Unable, how
ever, to withstand such an overwhelm-
ing force, the order was given to retire,
which was done, and the column moved
over the Shenandoah river, the retreat
being covered by company of the
Fifth New York Cavalry, about eighty
strong. Whilst passing over the
bridge, the Captain distinctly saw the
rebel forces. There was very strong
column of cavalry, say four squadrons
eight companies, and five regiments o.
infantry. OF this force two regiments
of infantry, and two squadron's of cav
airy were fording the stream, the water
being very low. The order double
quick was given, and the Federals took
to the pike, when another stand was
made, Col. Henley, addressing the men
and telling them that their only chanct
was to stand and fight to the last, es
pecialIy as the rebel cavalry were fas
pushing on and displaying black flag
Capt. Smith states that he did not see
them display white flag. A second
stand was made and many shots ex
changed, when the New York Cavalry
still in the rear of the column, broke
and retired, riding through the ranks
of the infantry. A part of the Mary
land command retired to wheat field
and there made another stand, firing
rapidly and with deliberate decision
Presently on came the rebel cavalry
cutting right and left, yelling like Indi
ans. In some instances neither tn,
dying nor wounded were spared, ant
in two instances the Captain saw TIT
rebels draw their pistols and shoot then
in the head whilst lying on the roa6
side. The Captain told the men the.
had better escape as best they could.
