ALEEG1ANrE.

J.F. C. wishes On answer to this question:
"U European who has emisrntei to this country end
been here uatuszed chooses return 10 his native land ana
become once more citizen thereof, can he do SO ."
Anstcer-That depends entirely on the laws
Of his native land aforesaid. There is nothing
in orr laws, nor in the fact of his naturaliza-
ton here, to prevent it. This country afiirms
the right of expatriation and transfer OF o.
legiance by the very fact that she accepts i'm
miprants as citizens. In swearing them to
fidelity to her institutions, she does so only
while they remain domicled on her soil. II
they migrate again-wbether to their native
land or any other-sbe has no further clam
upon them. The doctrine she has maintained
in the case OF her own foreign-bOrn citizens
held to Military service on their return to
their native land commits her to this position.
Some other countries bold this doctrine
others seem to deny the right of expatfisiion,
and insist on the inalienab!e allegiance OF their
native.born subjects. But even these would
not, we presume, forbid resumption OF citi-
zepship by their returned emigranls, but would
regard their transfer OF allegiance to the I'm ed
States as null creating no rights aud imposing
no disabilities.

We have late private advices from our army
before Richmond In spite of its heavy losses
BY sickness. privatiOn, and combat, 1t ID To-
day The strongest and most effective army c'ef
vet assembled on this contnent-much stronger
even in numbers than is generally suli'oS''
II has more and better artillery tDan any
other army in the world ever had. Inc ire

cent region into u'iry bog over and through

great labor and difficulty. But we have ran
rood running from White House Point (the
head of navigation via York River) across the
Chickahominy into tho heart of our encamp-
ments. and the best sort of corduroy roads
are being made in every direction. Gen. Nc
Clelan viii soon be almost Independent of the
elements, though drier weather would be very
acceptable. In fact, there have this week
been two consecutive days without rain, which
ia hailed as barbinger of " the good time
coming" 1t will surely come.
If We supposed it necessary to urge the
sending of every spare regiment to Gen. Me-
Clean, we should dwell on this poiut but it
is not. The Government understand the whole
matter and are wide awake. They do not
deem more troops essential 10 the reduction OF
the Rebel stronghold, but they are ANXIOUS tn
take it with the least possible bloodshed, ard
are hurrying forward men to that end Il
fifty disciplined and uniformed militia regi-
ments we're tomorrow to oHer themselves Tor
three months service, We feel confident that AL
would be promptly accepted. And every such
regiment, if stationed in Maryland or around
Washington, would iiberate one better drilled
and INJURED to camp life to GO forward to the
scene of actual combat
Another point: We could wish to hear of five
hundred surgeons volunteering to serve for the
Summer months There are good surgeons
who could be spared from bome aud Sc are
sure they are greatly needed with our armies.
We have passed abruptly from general ioaciion
TO general movement, and the bad weather has
col spired with other influences to create an
extraordinary demand on all sides for medical
aud surgical shill. Are there Lot hundreds OF
surgeons of established repute who WILL volan-
teer TO soften tue pangs aud prcscrye the lives
of our wounded and suffering soldiers II
there are, we feel sure that their prefer viii
be gratefully accepted.
Yet little while longer must the sword and
the bayouet write i'll letters of fire fresh
heroic page in the annals Of the American
Republic. Then eometh welcome peace.

syyEER MADNESS.

When people have determined that 'no o"'

what Ingenious substitutes for it they can con-

difficult dangerous, and costly than that which
they a-e coptriycd to dodge. Thus ono OF our

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

BY the steamer Mas acbusetts at Fortress Mon
roe from Beaufort 5. C., on Tuesday, we have some
indefinite news from the neighborhood Of Charles
ton. The Massachusetts stopped for several Louls
of Stone Inlet, where II was told that Gen. Hunter
army was on James Island. hut found an uneXpecF
ely large Rebel iorcc--sbout 25,OOO, supposed 10
have come from Corinth and it was rumored thai
Beaurecard wac with them. There had been some
fighting. in which The Now-York 18th and the Mas
sa,bu,ett. Cavalry had distinguished themselves;
,,yersl batteries bad been taken by storm, and 9
general engagement Was thoughtto be imminent, our
forces-,ben within three four miles OF Charleston
to make the attack.
BY m order Of tie Secretary Of War, the
Department Of The Mississippi is extended SO as to
include The whole OF the States of Tennessee and
Kentucky. All the officers on duty in these States
will report to Maj..Gen. IIalleck. The Mountain
Dspari meut is extended eastward to the road run
mug from Will.amsport to Martinsburg, Winchester,
Strasburg, UarIisonbnrg, and Stanton, including
that place; thence in tie same direction southwark
until il strikes the Blue Ridge 10 tie southern
boundary Of the State of Virginia. The Department
of the Shenandoah IL extended eastward to include
TIE Piedmont District ana the Bull Mountain range.
Gen. HalleoA's dispatches, as late as the i%th,
indicate tlat the Rebel army under Bcauregard was
mutinous and dsoreanized TO the last degree. Eegi-
meits whose time Of service was out had been dis
armed aud many Of them ehot for refusing TO serve
longer. The whole country through which the
brave and ch!varous traitor Beaurrgard has
marched has been stripped of food by lis furnished
Confederate scdIndres and the Inhabitants are left
0 stsrye.
-Orr latest Washington advices state that all is
quiet in the Shenandoah Valley. From Gen. Nc
Clciaus army there IS nothing Of public interest,
and from the West no later news had been received.
Gen. Wool was at Annapolis preparing for the camp
Of instruction.
Our special correspondent at Memphis states
that tie Rebel report of the burning OF Vicksburg
was not credited. He adds that many families who
have been locked up by the Rebellion now start
ing for the North.
On the second page we give further extracts
from late Rebel newsl apers, concerning the opera
,ions OF Com. Fsnagcts feet in the Mississippi
the condition Of the Wcked Charleston, the Sodo1
