WARRINGTON, July 23.-Thero is neither
law or regulation for the accepta nee of volan-
teers otherwise than for three years or for the
war.
This morning the President, the Secretary
of War and General Halleck were long in
consultation at the War Department For a
portion of the time Generals Pope and Bum
side were with them.
Great repugnance to the idea of drafting
continues to be entertained in of1cial circles
here, the impression being that the President 5
call for 100000 men IS already being re-
sponded to throughout the country with an
alacrity that promises to secure the whelo
number in less time than was recently antici-
pated.

From tbs st. Louis Union, 2sud.l
We have published the fact of Legrand
Hail killing his sister Below will be found
The iiRal Of the shocking tragedy.
Legrand Han was taken from the county
Jail to the court house in Union, Franklin
county, this State for the purpose of prelim-
nary examination in this case. He had his
plan of defense ali marked out, and his law
books on Land for authorities. As soon as ha
got into the court housr q number of the citi-
zons Of Franklin county gathered around him
and took him IA wagon 10 the outskirts ofths
town, with rope around his neck. Stopping
at n hickory tree, the one end was thrown over
u stout limb, and Hall was soon hanging
therefrem. after hanging there until anima-
ton wa suspenlasa, he WAS taken down and
by considerable effort was restored to con-
sciousBess. He was then asked to state the
facts in the killing of his sister, He denied all
knowledge of the transaction, and his own
completely IN tho murder. The crowd then
took him again amid his proteetations Of en-
tire innocence, and hung him by the neck un-
til he was dead, after which the body was
handed over to his family. Some five years
ago Hall was tried and convicted for the muir
der of Andrew Bullock, and was sentenced to
fifteen years imprisonment, but was pardoned
ous by Governor Stewart at the suggestion of
Judge John il. Stone. 1t appears that in this
tragedy lA8il was prompted 10y motives OF re-
venge+his father having willed to each of his
children $500 mare than be had willed to Le-
grand. The latter tried TO get an old family
negro TO murder the whole of the family on
the fourth Of July, bot on that day the negro
ran OF. From the fact that on that day the
murdered girl betrayed great anxiety to leave
the house, it is thought that the negro disclosed
to her the demands Of young Hall. On the
night of the murder, Legrand and his sister
Emily were both by the bedside of their dying
father, when Legrand arose, went to the win
dow and pushed aside the curtains and then
retired from the room. He soon appeared at
the window outside, and called for his sister
Emily, who, coming to the window, was fred
upon BIZ Legrand, the ball penetrating the
forehead and lodging in the brain. She died
without altering any exclammatioD, and the
murderer fed. At twelve clock of the night
Of the murder of his sister, Legrand appeared
at his brothers house, about two miles distant,
and demanded the assistance of his brother to
catch some runaway negroes. The wife of the
1 brother did rot like the manner of Legrand,
1 and refused to allow her husband to leave the
I house Afriend Of the latter saw Legrand
I have pistol in his hand, and it is thought
1 that this refusal Of the wife saved the life of
4 her husband.

Gar Gunboats silence their Batteries.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-A gentleman who
arrived here this afternoon left MeCleilaR's
hsaiqgarters on Saturday morning. He states
that Gen. Mcclellan is not the least dashed at
the lurn events have taken, but is more conf
dent than ever that he will capture Richmond
a. sodn as his army is properly recruited
w Nneaever be appears on the field the mes
pay him perfect ovation. Even the sick and
wounded raise their caps and crutches and
shout for him. lie is perfectly idolized by the
men under his command as they are anxious
and eager for MIN again to lead them into
battle. Their confidence in him has never been
shaken. The troops are daily improving in
health. Gen. Mcclellan receives all his sup
plies with great regularity. The men are now
furnished with most excellent rations. They
are served with fresh beef four times q week.
The rebels are making desperate attempt
to blockade the James river. They are con-
tiaually erecting new batteries in new posi-
tl0ns, but they are invariably silenced by q
few shells from our gunboats. Gen. McClel-
Ian says the rebels Will never be able to close
the James river against him. The position
now naid by cur army is a secure one. The
only point of attack the rebels have is an open
space Of about quarter of q mile, which they
cannot enter in sufficient force to dislodge our
troops. The guns mounted st this point
would NOV the rebels down as rapidly as they
could march up.

Emperor OF Russis.
Fcom the Harrisburg Telegraph ]

Fson the Harrisburg Telegraph
From PriYate letters received in this city
direet from st. Petersburg, We learn that Gen.
Cameron, Minister to Russia, had arrived
safely at the capital of the nation, where his
lega,ion is established, and that he also had
his first iatefgiew with the Emperor Alexan-
der. According TO the rigid etiqaotte of the
Russian court, il is not usual for The Emperor
30 grant aR interview until the lapse of some
time afger the arrival Of minister, but in this
case an audience was almost Immediately
granted, and the reception made the more corr
oral hy the earnest 50 icitude with which the
Emperor inquired concerning the condition OF
the Ameriean people, their resources, nu-
mesieal power, Intelligence, wealth and pro-
grass.
During the Interview, the Russian monarch
evinced his knowledge of our system of gov
oragaeHt ana his admiration for the success We
h&4 Hsde in tho Development ef the vast ex-
tent Of territory now within the jurisdiction
Of the Federal authority. That authority, in
the opinion of the Emperor, should be mair-
tanned at all hazards. If the Great Republic
al lie West was broken down, and ceased to
WELD an influenza, the course of empire and
Of civilization would pe changed and conti-
nAnt destined by God for the happy home
ofmiltious Of free and intelligent people, would
be given to iniidehty and barbarism, ruin and
desglation.
.Af,er such expressions to the American
Minister, there can be no mistakiug the COR
dial feeling and hearty sympathy of the Rmpe-
ror Of Russia, nor can there be any misappre-
hension CONCERNING the deep interest he mani
fests in the success and destiny OF the United
States. This feeling was reciprocated by Mr..
! Cameron, who had the. most flattering assu-
RANGES TO oi'or that the interest Of the American
4 DpGYla was ~ lpSS Sin in THAR solicit,,da
colossal empire Of the North. Representing
such widely different systems and governed
by authority 50 distant and broad, there is
still no reason why Russia and the United
States should not be united in true and eternal
alliance, and WELD al irresistible influence on
I the world.

Connscation Act.

WAsHINoToN, July 23.--There are some
lawyers here who declare the Coniscation net
will not hold water, SO far as securing freedom
to slaves of rebels. Several practical cases
have arisen already, the law being found de-
fective in failing to prescribe what process or
instrument shall authenticate freedom, bat the
military protection of the Government which
each contraband carries with him is conclu-
sive upon courts, and the prohibition Of army
officers to obtain fugitives precludes any sur
render by military, SO the contraband are
free till the end of the war anyhow.

dred Yankee officers, some of them of high
military rank and social position. Now is tho
time to demand an atonement for the atrvci-
ties perpetrsted by the misereant Butler at
New Orleans. Now is the time to demand
restitution for the blood Of the martyred Nun
ford; his death cries to Heaven for vengeance.
Let twenty or thirty of the Federal prisoners,
highest in rank, be set aside and held in close
confinement, there to remain until Butler is
delived up, or until by the chances of war ne
is thrown into our hands"

General Bragg has issued general order as
