How IS IT I'm the vote on the bill for the
abolition Of slavery in the District of Columbia
the Baltimore papers give us the 80 negative
votes, in which no mention of Messrs. Calvert,
Leary, Crisfeld and Webster are made. They
are not in the negative vote given, nor are they
reported as absent. We are fully assured in
our mind they were not in the affirmative, and
yet we are left thus to infer. We don't believe
it. Will some one enlighten Us, as to where
they were?

is from the New York Heralds Money Article,

The stock market continues dull Al, i'm
preston prevails, aohich cannot be eradicated,
that the public do not get all the ne,cs This

general feeling of languor In the meantime
the bear interest is the increase and the bulls,

In the course of the past summer, Mr. SAM

allegiance to the United States, and returned to
his home in Westmoreland county, Va.
The Union prisoners last arrived in this CITY

were arrested by the Rebel authorities on
charge of being Union spies, and that he has
been tried in Richmond where he is now i'm

EMANCIPATION OF SLAVES IN THE DISTRICT
"Aga," the Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, says:
There has been much excitement among la
boring men during the past week concerning
the proposed emancipation of slaves in this
District, They feel, as do the like class at
the North, that the abolition programme looks
to the lowering of the wages of whites in
many branches of industry, if it does not
throw considerable number entirely out of
business. The wealthy and middle interests
here are exceedingly apprehensive of such an
inlet Of contrabands from Virginia and Mary
land as will require most positive and vigor-
Gus action for self-protection. Even before
the present session Of Congress is closed, leg
islation may be necessary for the deportation
Of the fugitivcs. or for their subsistence at the
Government expense. If it be true, as assumed
by abolitionists, that white labor will "renovate"
the South, Of course men Of property will resort
to it in preference to the slave labor. A con-
servative Republican Senator from New Eng
land has summed up the matter briefly and
truly. He says Eve Northerners will not have
the negroes, and if all the slaves in the South
were to be now emancipated, it would not be
two years before they would be put back to their
former condition by the white people,"

1T he would wait week longer he would hear
OF lighting enough to satisfy him on this end of
the grand line After such significant utter
ances, expectation stands on tip-toe.

| HE PITTsBURG LANDING VICToRY.-But
we cannot blind ourselves with the ungracious
truth that this victory was needlessly purchased
at a frightful risk, and at fearful sacrifice of
life. 1t is folly to permit mere success, how
ever obtained, to shut out all concern for mis-
management That there has been the grossest
Encouragement in this case no rejecting man
can deny. Pittsburg Landing is only Balls
Bluff over again, with different result-that
different result attributable to the fact that in
the one case it happened that reinforcements ar
rived in time, and not in the other. As at Ball s
Bluff, SO here, comparatively slender force was
landed on the enemy's side of the river, without
transports by which to retreat if necessary, or
be promptly reinforced. The Confederate Cen
erals, with their quick eye, in the one case as in
the other, saw the advantage. They hurled in
their overpowering numbers-at Balls Bluff
with absolute success here with a success that
came near being absolute, for the report states
that cat S o'clock the Confederates had forced
our left wing back, so as to occupy fully two
thirds of our camp, and were fighting their way
forward with a desperate degree of confidence
in their efforts to drive us into the river" At
that time, nothing but the knowledge tn 1t rein
forcements were on the other side of the river,
seeking some mode of crossing, prevented most
appalling rout. "Ertremely critical' are the
words of the report Thousands of our men
were weltering in their blood, and other thou
sands were utterly "worn out by hard fighting"
One almost holds his breath as he reads it, In
spite of all the torrents of blood it was fright
fully narrow escape. Now, somebody must be
responsible for all this. No sane man will have
the hardihood to pretend that with the prodi
gious numerical superiority of the Federal army,
and with inexhaustible supplies of vessels in the
Western waters for transports, there was any
necessity for putting or leaving an army div-
sion in so unmiltary and dangerous position.
One Of two things: either these $4,000 men un
der Gen. Grant should not have been landed on
the western side of the river at all, with Beaure-
CARDS army within days march or the sup
porting columns should have been close at hand
In other words, the fault is with Gen. Grant,
who crossed too soon, or with Gen. Buell., who
arrived too late. Which is the real fact we can
not say. But, in the absence of all direct light
upon the subject, the probabilities are with the
latter branch Of the alternative.

akg The New York Express, in specializing
upon the manner in which the Notifications at
Yorktown and Williamsburg may be- turned,
says, that the Confederates hold Gen. Mcclellan
or the James river" and adds: "The moment
we can enter the James river with our gunboats,
we flank Yorktown and Williamsburg, and the
whole peninsula" The same result, we are
told, would be attained by "silencing the bate
res at Yorktown and on Gloucester Point
The comments of the New York Post are to
the same effect That journal admits however,
that .'the mouth of James river is clos ii against
us by the presence of the Mcrrimac at Crancy
Island" The bold announcement is then ,pade

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-We have advices
from Warrenton up 10 his evening. The
news that Gen. Batch had reached Char
louisville and cut off the most important
source of rebel supplies, is the subject Of
great rejoicing in the army. The bold
movement and the recent warlike orders of
Gea. Pope begius to inspire something like
a warlike admiration for him among the
soldiers, who have not as yet seen the face
of their new commander. In obedience to
the spirit as well as the temper of General
Pope's instructions, the rich and aristo-
cratic rebels of Warrenton have already
been placed under contribution for the
support of the National Army. The lead
ing families have received notice that all
their spare mattresses and bed clothing will
be required for our sick and wounded sol.
ders, aud that all the unoccupied room in
their mansions, and if necessary the entire
buildings, will be used as hospitals.
Col. Myers, of McDowelrs staff, to-day
took possession of DR.. BarIon's large female
seminary. Two thousand sick can easily
be accommodated. The grounds and springs
surrounding the hotels and cottages are said
to be the finest watering place in the whole
country. All leading physicians in the army
OF Gen. Pope are Of the opinion that not
half so many deaths will occur here as in
the hospitals at Washington.
The telegraph lines were completed to
Sperryville to-day. Gen. Pope now has te
egraphic communication with his three
army corps.

ed without danger of hitting our ow a boats.
As she appeared, such boats as could safely
do so, opened upon her, but the plating re-
sisted most of the shot.
Solid shot from Fsrrigus's gunboat No 6,
struck her larboard bow, passing through
under the plating, ripping it off a eonside-
rable distance. What further damage was
done has not been ascertaiued. The injuries
to our feet are light. The Benton received
a shot seaF the edge of the afterpart of the
larboard side, killing one man. TIE Tyor,
which engaged the Arkansas for nearly an
hour, bad killed, wounded. Among the
lost was Pilot Hiner, and Engineer Davis
The ram Lancaster received q shot under
the boilers, causing the escape of hot
water, and the scalding OF six men, three
fatally. Entire Federal loss IL killed and
Is wounded, four or six of whom will die.
Rebel loss not known, but is believed to be
considerable, as the hot water streams of the
Carondolet, at the time she attempted to
board were thrown directly into her.

CAIRO, July Ill The dispatch boat
which arrived at Memphis on Saturday
brings the following.
The reported escape of the rebel gunboat
Arkansas is correct The affair took place
on the morning of the 18th That morn
ing, in consequence of reports brought by
refugees, that the Arkansas was about to
attempt to run by the Federal fleet, the
gunboats Carondelet and Tyler, and the
ram Lancaster, started up the Yazoo recon-
noitering.
Eight miles from the mouth they came
suddenly on the Arkansas, lying under a
bank. AS our boats rounded the bend, she
opened upon them with g. FOUNDERS. Our
gunboats returned the FIRE, and for a short
time a fierce engagement ensued. Finding
the channel of the river prevent d success
full maueuvering, they gradually dropped
down towards the mouth, the Arkansas fol-
lowing closely. just as she was passing
over the bar, the Carondelet closed with
her, intending to board. She succeeded in
throwing her grspnells aboard, and getting
out plank, when the Arkansas opened her
steam pipes, throwing hot water across the
plank The Carondelet replied in the game
manner. While thus engaged, both vessels
grounded, the sd ock separating them. The
Arkansas succeeded in getting of. bnt the
Carondelet remained fast for nearly an
hour. The Arkansas immediately PASSED
down the river, the Tylor preceding her,
maintaining q running fight with her great
~ superior adversary.
None of our gunboats with the feet had
few could FIRE at the Arkansas, as she pass.

WARRENToE, VA July 20.-The burning
OF the railroad bridge over the Rapidan was
caused by mistaken idea of some of the
soidlers, instead OF by any orders emana-
ung from Gen. Banks, or the immediate
commander OF the expedition, Brigadier
General Hatch. The Rapidan, however. is
iordaoie at this season at many points near
the bridge, and its destruction can be- a
matter OF no great importance either wav.
Arrivals from Sperryville report almost
daily skirmisbing between SigePs pickets
and the rebel scouts near the gap at Lau
ray, and several of the enemy have been
killed.
They also report a reconnaissance in force
went from Sigel's command on Wednes-
day towards Madison, and several guns are
reported to have been heard in that direc-
ton by travellers the same day.
Parties from Winchester via Front ROYAL
report that the guerrillas have paid ire
quent visits 10 the principal routes leading
thither and in the vicinity of Strasburg and
Middletown. All the stores at the latter
plach have been removed to a more secure
position.
Gen. Mcdowell arrived here yesterday
and has pitched his headquarters in the
field.
On Wednesday evening Gen. Banks paid
visit Of courtesy TO Gen. Hartsuff's brig
ade of Gen. McDowelPs corps. This brig
ade was formerly commanded by General
Aoercrombie in Gen Banks corps. His
VISIT was announced, but notwithstanding
the darkness of the night, it was soon dis.
covered ana rounds upen roun of cheers
greeted MS presence. To each of the regi.
ments Gen. Banks addressed a few brief re-
marks, expressive of his past and present
pleasure in meeting them.

CAPE RACE, July 21.-The Asia, from
Liverpool on the 18th, via Queensto 1n on
the 18Th, was boarded of this point this
morning, IN route TO Halifax and Boston.
Heradvices are two days later.
The fighting before Richmond is treated
as severe reverse to the Uniouists by the
whole English press. Gen. McClelan's po-
sition is regarded as precarious.
Lord Palmerston had stated that the
British troops would not be withdrawn
from Canada.
The recognition of Italy by Russia and
Prussia had been announced in the Italian
Parliament.
The London Herald treats the affair be-
fore Richmond as decisive defeat of Nc
ClelIan.
1t says that the Confederate Capital is
safe. 1t does not believe, however, that the
campaign in Virginia is ended, but supposes
it will go on until Europe stays the uplipt-
ed swords, and in the name of humanity
eDforces it,
The London Morning Post argues that
practically the scheme against Richmond
had terminated. 1t then proceeds to point
out the dangerous position of McClellan's
army.
The London Globe hopes that the gigan-
tic difficulties which are being developed in
the progress of the war, may have an effect
on both sides, aud that more reasonable
views will supercede the plan of contest.

Foil MONROE, July l9.-I learn from a
gentleman recently from Suffolk, that some
excitement prevails there on account of ru-
nioEs, that the rebels are building bridges
across the Black water river, which is
thought to be preparatory to an attack on
Suffolk.
OR informant thought the rumors quite
likely to be false, but said that the suffers
there were careful not to keep large stuck
of goods on handi that they had been adj
vised not to.
The steamship Merrimac arrived here last
evening from Port Royal, but brought no
rews from that section.
The mail boat John A. Warner has ar
rived from Harrison's Landing and reports
all quiet at that point She brings no news
from our army. The rebel army had fall
en- back ten miles towards Richmond.

WASHINGTON, Jaly 20--There is reason
to believe that the President will soon issue
one or more general orders to the armies of
the United States, in which be will lay down
certain general rules for the conduct OF the
war. Such rules as any one sincerely desi-
rous of carrying out the principles OF the
conhscation and emancipation bill could
adopt and enforce.s
1t is DOW positively known that the Pres
ident under the advice of Gen. Scott, and
with the acquiescence OF Gen. Mcclellan,
has called Major General Halleck to Wash
ington to act as General-in-chief of the arm
les of the United States. He will have con-
troll of the operations of the armies in the
field, thus relieving Secretary Stanton of
some of his official duties.
