SPECIAL DI8PAIGH Hes.
FROM WASHINaT0N,
Immediate Draft Protection Of
Negro Soldiers -Vallandig-
hams sentence.
Special to Chicago Tribuns.I

lDpcClu 10 lineage 1ElDuua-l
WASHINGTON, May q.
Orders have been issued from the Pro
vost Marshal-G Generals Office to be pre-
pared for making a draft Immediately on
the completion Of the enrolment. The
hope is now expressed that the draft may
be made before the first of July.
The President has been so muchengross-
ed as to be unable to give q formal aud
fence to the Committee from the negro
meeting, praying for suitable protection
for negro soldiers against the treatment
threatened in the rebel proclamation and
sanctioned in the rebel Congress. It is
not believed, however, that the interests
Of justice are likely to suffer in his hands.
Prominent members Of the Administra-
tiOn give assurances of Mr.. Lincoln's fixed
intention to resort to the sternest retalia-
tory policy to compel equal security for
negro prisoners in rebel hands with that
Of our white soldiers.
There is talk Of mounting a portion of
Of the negro force soon to be raised, and
employing them to aid in cavalry raids.
officials in the War Department think
that in this way a very effective cavalry
force can be raised.
The Provost Marshall General is sending
out instructions to hasten enroIlments IN
der the Consumption Law as much as pos
sible, employing more enrellins officers in
each county, if necessary.
The Administratio has received notice
that the State auth critics of Indiana may
be compelled to appeal to it for funds to
carry on the State Government, the late
COpperhead Legislature having left them
without appropriation. The answer is
understood to have been given that in the
present crisis any interruption or smbar-
rassment of the duties Of State officers,
would be regarded as a calamity, to be
prevented at any expense or hazard.
The first installment of $4,000 has beer
sent to the Commission now in session in
Minnesota, to award damages from the
late Sioux war, to be paid in sums of moi
over 5000 to any one suffer.
The President has approved the sentence
of the Court Martial in Vallandigham's
case and has ordered him to be forthwith
sent beyond our lines. General s~stisfac-
ton is expressed at the result, which SC
happily meets the difficulties Of the case
avoiding the possibility of making him g
martyr, and BY it effectually destroying
his power for evil.

WARRINGTON, May ~.
The Navy Department is advised that
the steamer R. r. Ceyler on the 9Th in
instant, captured of Mobile while attempt
ing TO run the blockade, the steamer Eu-
genie. She is q new side wheel vessel,
very fast. She is 100 tons burden, and
was fitted out in New York. Several
weeks since she sailed thence for Havana
via Nassau, for the purpose, it is supposed,
of loading with arms and ammunition the
Supply. The steamer Union, while on her
way TO New York, captured the English
steamer Sonnet with an assorted cargo.
To-day, in the Fugitive Slave case, pend
ing for several weeks before the Supreme
Court for this District the Judges were
equally divided on the motion to discharge
the relatOr By writ o habsas corpus. Chief
Justice Carter and Associate Judge Fisher
were Of opinion that the power heretofore
exercised in the District Of Columbia was
still in force upon the subject Of the fugi-
tive slave law. Judges DIN and Wyliei
Associates, assented to the decision. The
fugitive was remsnded, subject to the or
der Of Judge Wylie, who having issued the
warrant Of arrest, but subsequently, decif-
ed that he had not the power
to detain him in custody released him,
As the slave was leaving the presence Of
the Judge his owner seized him, where
upon Mr.. Dean, one Of his counsel, res
| oued him and the aid Of the police was
| called to prevent a breach Of peace which
| seemed imminent. Action and counter
| action ceased on both sides, after which
| the fugitive was delivered 70 the military
authorities to be held in custody till 10
morrow for the further action Of the Ju
dietary.

CAIRO, April 81.
By the arrival of the Naval dispatch this
afternoon we have news from the feet TO
Saturday night.
A gentleman directly from General
Grants Headquarters, says a severe battle
is not anticipated before Vicksburg is ours.
He thinks the army viii march by the rear
Of Vieksburg to Haines' Bluff. That place
once in our possession, we shall have q di-
rect and certain line Of communication for
supplies and re-enforcements. Besides,
there are q number Of transports up the
Yazoo now in rebel hands which it is
much desired to capture.
The dispatch boat met re-enforcements
going down. tits thought no supplies will
be brought up from Grand Gulf on account
of the distance to march and great number
of men necessary to be sent IS escort. The
army now has eight days %rations, and the
country is not altOgether destitute Of forage.

formation brought by scouts, and also from
limitations in rebel papers, that our for.

Vicksburg. Rebel papers fairly thrOb will
