REBEL VIOLENCE IN FREDERICKSBURG.
A deuutation representiDg tho Union men at
Fredericksburg will call upon the Secretary Of War
and the President tomorrow 10 ask il they and other
loyal men within the lines Of armies cannot he
protected in the enjoyment Of their property and
personal liberty.
Although our guns bear upon Fredericksburg.
Union men are carried off prisoners to Richmond
and their property is destroyed or stolen. They
think that il the Government cannot protect them,
it at least make reprisas in kind aud instead on
guarding the property Of leading Rebels, snd guar
aneeing TO them the exercise of what they eeem TO
regard as their personal rights, including ih'f OF
carryog information 70 the enemy, they cat pat
few of the in pison set their negroes TO WORK
for the Government and appropriate their heufes'
grain and clover, to the use Of good Union soldiers
and HORSES.
The prevalent mania for protecting Rebel properly

high authority for the following. which IL but oos

TIE LAST ADyiCEs FROM EUROPE.
There IS nothing in the official and semi-oicial dis
patches from Europe, brought oy the China, witch

TIE ADJOURNMENT or CONGRESS.
rrf ! Il
the third time. There some opposition but the
vote by which the resolution naming the Both inst
WA adopted Was four TO one. The Senate very
properly refused to take up SIR. Powels resolution
Ia tho same effect. for which the Democratic and
border State men, except Mr. Wiley, with Msss.s.
Sherman, Dickson aud Lane Ind. voted.
Probably neither body expects 10 get AWAY before
the end Of the first second week of July; but the
periinscity OF the House in proposing days Of sd.
journnent, and tie evident desire of mA 0rity ~
Size senate 90 depart possible, render Il
quite probable that the session will eud before Ito
midd OF July, even slthougb Richmond should not
be taken, and much business should DO left uDfn'
shed. The only thing that can keep Congress to-
gether is an intimstion from the people that ihey
ought to stay.
i THE MILEAGE REFORM.
! The scton Of the Senate to-day proved the cor
rcctncss Of our anticipation that the failure of its
proposition 10 reduce ths mileage Of members one.
half was the end Of reform that direction this
session. Senator Wilson, from tho Military Goa
muee, reported in favor Of concurrence with tho
House amendment, striking ont the section cutting
down mileage 30 per cent. and also the section
taking 10 psr cent from the salary Of Government
officers.
Mr.. Wilson said, that although i'll favor Of both
reforms, he WAS unwilling TO risk tho passage Of -
important measure as that to which they were at
iached aud from which they had been stricken out
by the House ON the ground that they were not ger
man to the bill. The motion to strike out was sup
ported by vote Of three to ono although Senaroe
sherman gave notice That he should press his Rs-
treuehnent bill, 10 case those sections were stricken
ont.
