This paper may hereafter be set down as
a rebel Journal The latest case of its
leaning to the rebel Confederacy, is discov-
ed BY its altering the dispatches, so as
to give a success to the rebels, wherever
the Richmond papers accredited it to the
Federais. The London Star has detected
and exposed the Times in the following
manner:
Yesterday morning, we, in common
with our contemporaries, published among
the American news brought by the Jura,
the following in reference to the battles
before Richmond
WASHINGTON, July 4.
"The Richmond Examiner of July I'd,
gives the following relating to the battle
Of Monday:
'0n Sunday morning, Generals Hill and
Longstreet, with their division, crossed the
Chickahominy, and late on Monday after
noon attacked the enemy, about five miles
northeast of Darleytown, on ihe Newman
ket road. The conflict was terrible, and by
$50 P. NJ. the enemy had been driven back
q mile and a half
AT half past nine, the enemy being re-
inforced, made another stand The loss
here, on the Confederate side, was terrible
The situation being hopeless against such
overwhelming forces, Gen. Hill slowly re-
tired, and at the same moment seeing
their adversary retire, the most vOeiferous
cheers arose from the whole Yankee lines.
The fight ended there for the night
The Times published this news with
the alteration Of one word. II will be seen
that in, the second paragraph we have ital-
icized the word Confederate In the
place Of that word the Times inserted en-
emy's,' thus making the southern paper
claim for the Confederates that they had
inflicted terrible loss on the Federals; /;
whereas the truth is, the paragraph was
an acknowledgment of the terrible loss
which the Confederates had themselves
sustained"

TIE rebels have a very simple and ef-
fective method of recruiting and keeping
their old regiments full. A correspondent
whOinsists that the Government must have
q million of men in the field before winter,
says of the rebel plan:
Two or three recruiting officers Of each
regiment now in the field are to be kept
constantly at home, in the parish where
the regiment was raised. They are to re-
ceive and drill all the recruits that Offer
and, if none offer, they are to obtain re-
cruits from the enrolment list Of the con-
scription. There are in the South 1901
40 men capable Of bearing arms, so that
there is plenty Of material for them. Ev-
cry month the Colonel of the regiment is
to inform them how many men he wants to
ell up his regiment TO the full compile
ment, and every month the senior recruit
ing officer is to march for the seat of war
with the required number of fresh men,
his own place being supplied by another
officer.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Times special:
Though the rumor has not been current
on the streets, well-informed circles are
full of stories about movements either pro
crossing or impending in McCleIlan's
army. The President is cited as authority
for declarations that the present week
must bring us stirring news from the Pen
insula, and much stress is laiG on General
Halleck s reported refusal to grant passes
to any one, on any account, to visit the
Peninsula this week, for the alleged rea-
son that the state of affairs is too critical
to permit any passage to and fro through
the lines, even by military men.
The heavy draft by Government is Va
riously regarded in Washington, but the
prevailing sentiment is approval A stroAg
feeling of confidence succeeds the diseeur-
agement Of the past month. It is ques-
tion whether the draft applies to this Dis
trict.

SR: The course pursued by certain
persons in ordering their slaves "to go to
the Yankees" q to join the Federals, as
described in your note, and like acts, has
been brought to my notice from different
sources previously to your communica-
ton, and certainly is a great wrong as
wen 10 the Government as TO the negroes.
In order TO correct the evil, therefore,
let it be known, that all such declarations
by the owners to their slaves will, by the
authorities here, be taken and deemed acts
Of voluntary emancipation, and slaves sent
away by their masters with such declara-
tions as you describe, OF equivalent ones,
viii be regarded and treated as manumit-
ted and eman oipated.
You viii see to it that this necessary po-
lice regulation is carried into effect,

Piratical Speculation /.

Inc rebel vessel $780, about which
30 much has recently been said, received
her name from the fact that 300 British
merchants contributed the money to con-
struct her.
II would aprcarfrom recent reports that
the piratical craft, built by British funds,
is not particular as to the national charac-
ter of its victims. but preys upon the
commerce of British subjects quite a.
freely as she does upon that Of New Eng
land citizens.
We trust that this investment in pi.
ratieai venture by 900 shop keepers Of
England, may in its direct effects, and by
the influence Of the example, make Brit.
ish commerce SO unsafe upon the seas Al
to arouse the Indignation of the people Of
Great Britain against the policy Of en-.
couraging piracy by general subscription
in that Kingdom. Still If the $50 mer.
chants Of Great Britain make good diyi.
