EFrom our OWL Correspondent
WasHaeroN, April u, 1859.
After years campaigning In front OF " ash
inston, with the largest armies and the most
Indifferent succees, woseem at Last to be gain
inga little ground, Gen McDoweits move
ment upon Fredericksburg sufficiently &C.
counts for the rapid fight Of the rebel Gen.
Jackson from the Shenandoah over to the
Rapeahaunock. staunton Is now unprotected
and can be occupied by our forces whenever
It ia deemed ad7ieabl. It is probable, how
ever, TINT Sen. Banks will pursue the armed
enemies, rather thnn waste time on the IN
armed ones. Hso be and Mcdowell will soon
have Jackson's army 'tHixt thumb and finger,
ard after squeezing it sufficiently they can
move down to the relief Of Gen Mcclellan
and take the main body Of the rebels in the
same way unless they shall save themselves
By rrcc1pitate fight.
The voting in the House on the various con
tlscotion bills discloscs more strength for the
principle than anybody had supposed It
proves, more copclusively than any other test,
that the people 1eant the property Q rc6els confs-
catrd ard their szd,es set Jree. While there Is
much difference Of opinion as to the de-
tails Of euch a bill, there can hardly be a
| doubt thst an effective one VIII be framed
which will command d majority Of the
House, and if Judge Trumbulrs blu
should pass the Senate it will inevitably pass
| the other branch Of Congress and secure the
| Presidents approval afr. Lincoln has indi
Gated that he will sign any bill Of this kind
which shall, after full and fair discussion
meet the approval OF Congress. Garrett
Davis speech on the bill to-day vas delivered
to q solitary auditor (Mr. Sumner, Of Nassa
chusetts}. After he had been speaking abou
two hours, Mr.. Clark, Of New Hampshire, I'd:
observed to peer cautiously through doc
and then retreat in disorder. But this VA
only the pzefase to Atr: Davis speech-th
main. body Of &Ehc argument being set dow
for tomorrow. His remarks to-day bear th
same relstlon to the complete work as Words
| worth's "ERtursion" does to the Reclnse.'
s'Who would have thought the old man hat
Macbeth. Who would have thought the oil
man bad so much wind in him? must hay
been the exclamation Of Mr. Sumner ut til
end OF the three hours during which the Hon
Garrett harangued him.
A miserable story has been Set atloat by Ger
McClelan's partisans to TIE effect that Secre
} | tary Stanton has been embarrassing and criI
I pliDg him in his operations ut yorktown

President, deeming it advisable to haI
: some troops LEFT to defend Washington
against any sudden foray Of the enemy, eouf
termauded the order, and created an ind
pendent department for Mcdowell The Of
] Vious intention Of those who hare given GU
reney to the above story is to throw the T.
EpoDsibility Of delay or disaster at YorktoW
d upon the shoulders OF the Secretary Of War, il
G stead Of allowing it to rest where it belong
:, It is evident now the retention Of Mcdowell
J corps, and Its movement upon Frederick
= burg, were the wiscst things that have bet
4 done on the Potomac since the war begun.
