New YoRE, Sept. a6.-The Trbunes Wash.
ington dispatch says: Hon. Ely Thayer's scheme
for colonization by armed men OF Southern
States, which met with much favor by the
President, Secretary Of War aud other Secre-
tatiee, has been discussed several times jn
Cabinet meetings, and will probably soon re.
ceiye formal official sanction. The project
contemplates ON expedition Of ten thousand
colonists enllsted for six months and supplied
with transportation, subsistence, arms and
general, by the Government, whose business Il
shall be to hold, occupy and possess public
lands Of Florida and other lands belonging TO
the rebels and seized under the law of last
session of Congress for non.payment of the
direct tax. Mr.. Thayer promises, if allowed to
carry out bis plan In Its entirety, to bring Fori-
da into the Union as free State by the let of
February next. Texas and Virginia are already
talked of as States to be subjected to the same
process. This, like the proclamation of this
morning, will be another step In the path of
more vigorous policy which the Administration
10 its proclamation OF freedom advertised that
1t should henceforth pursue.
Surgeon. General Hammond returned from
the battle field LOT Antietam, where he has been
stopping at McClellan's headquarters. He
thinks the whole number Of Union killed will
come within twelve hundred, and judging from
careful inspection of the hospitals and the lsts
of those brought off, he judges that the wounded
will not exceed elk thousand. Major Davis, as
sistant Inspector. General, informed him tha. be
himself had caused to be buried three thousand
rebel dead, left on the field, from which and
other data he estimated their wounded to be At
least ten thousand. Hammond saw, as part of
the fruits OF our victory, thirty-seven standards
which we captured from rebel regiments. He
reports, also, among our spoils, twenty or thirty
thousand small arms, mostly those left by the
enemy along the line of their retreat.
r A man signing himself r. P. Noble conmu-
ncated to this evenings Star statements which
he processes to make on direct information,
that Colonel Ford did not evecuate MARYLAND
Hights until be had received the fourth and
peremptory order from Col. Miles to do 80, and
besides bis long range ammunition had become
exhausted He asks suspension of opinion.
Inc times's special says: The rebels lei.
about i've thousand wounded within our lineP
for whom they begged medical attention, re.
moving all who were wounded in the upper ex.
tremihes, and leaving on the field only those
who were wounded in the lower limbs The
total loss Of the rebels can not be much less
than fve thousand killed and fifteen thousand
wounded.
The Hefald's special says: Gen. Sickles was
10 dey placed In command of Hooker's old di.
vision. Gen. Carey is assigned to the command
OF the first brigade, Zen. Graves. These as.
