The first, which is agreed to by Mr.. NOEL Of

Messrs. Mallory of Kentucky and Cobb of
New Jersey, coufscateS all the property, real
ard personal of leading classes of rebels, en-
bracing somewhat more than are covered by
Senator Shermau'S bill. who shall continue III
rebellion after the passage OF the bill. BY an
other section, the property OF all other rebels
who continue such sixty days after its passage
shares the same fate The President is to
seize the property, but the courts are to ins:i
tute proceedings The claims Of loyal credit
ors are made liens upon the property taken
The other Iili, which Only the Republican
members of the Committee-a bare majority
approve liberateS Immediately upon its pas
sage the slaves of all rebels. Two additional
sections TO the first bll were discussed bnt not
acted upon Mr. Noell being opposed TO them
By one it is declared that under this bill slaves
shall not be held to be property. By the other
provision is made for the enrolment of all 10y
al persons within the rebel districts who shall
become free upon such enrolment. and may be,
in such numbers as are required enlisted in the
military service of the United States. Both
will probably be moved in the House.

rA- A dispatch from Cairo announces the
capture Of Baton Rouge. 1t will be remem,
bered that there is United States Arsenal
at this place, which was taken possession of
by the rebels more than year ago, early in
the rebellion. 1t is evident that the feet from
New Orleans is moving up the river. Another
dispatch announces important movements near
Corinth which are not yet permitted TO be
made public. Purdy, however, which is be-
tween Corinth aud Pittsburg, and which was
occupied by the left wing of the enemy, has
been taken possession of without opposition,
and it is intimated that an attack is TO be
made somewhere in conjunction with the feet.
The most rational conjecture is that Beaure-
gard has fallen back upon Memphis, and that
the people of that city are expecting an at
tack, as they have resolved, in public meeting
to burn the town in the last extremity.
