'El,e COnscriptiOn Act.

The $500 exemption clause of the Con-
scription Act has been virtually abrogated
by an Interpretation pat upon it by Secre-
tary STANTON, that it is "optional :" with
him to receive the money or reject it..
Section Is reads as follows:
Sec. IS. ANY person drafted and notified to
appear as aforesaid may, on or before the day
fixed for his appearance furnish an acceptable
substitute to take his place in the draft. or he
may pay to such person as the Secretary of
War may authorize to receive it, such sum not
exceeding three hundred dollars, as the Secre-
tary of War may determine, for the procuration
of such substitute; and thereupon such person
so furnishing the substitute or paying the mon
ey shall be DISCHARGED from further liability I'M
der that draft. And any person failing to re-
port after due service of notice. as herein pre-
scribed without furnishing substitute or pay
ing the required sum therefor, shall be deemed
Il deserter, &c.
The construction of the above section
by the Secretary is forced, and unwarrant-
ed by the intention of Congress, as the
debates will show.

Wendell Phillips in New York.

The New York papers publish long
speech, delivered on Monday evening last,
at the Cooper Institute, on the ''Lesson of
the Hour They say he was not SO bril-
liant and did not prove so attractive as his
young and good-looking fellow-arostle of
abolitionism, Miss ANN E. DICKINSON. His
IDEAS, too, appeared to be rather a recast
of hers, and ran principally pom the need
of getting rid of Gen. HALLECK and Secre-
tary SEWARD, Postmaster General BLAIR,
and even the Massachusetts Senator'S He
did not believe in the exhaustion of the
South. Before it came to that Joint with
the rebels, they would inscribe on their
banners gradual emancipation, and arm
their slaves He declared himself for con-
citation of the slaves, not of the slave
holders. ''Death to the system and death
to the MASTER" he announced as his motto.
God grant he prayed-that the war might
never end until it left US on the solid . ran
lite of impartial liHeriy and justice. Mr..
GREELEY and Mr. LLOYD GARRISON also
made short addresses The latter declared
himself for the abolition of the rebellion,
the abolition of slavery, and the abolition
of the Anti-Slavery Society.

and not to Gen. HALLEcK as General-in-

Hooker. And to another of like pur-
port, he answered, "Cant you let me
alone?" 1t is said also that all knowl-
edge of the movement Of the army of the
Potomac was withheld from the Cabinet
When Father ABRAHAM was one day ques-
toned in Cabinet Council by one who
wanted to know what was going on, he
said: "There are only two men in the
United States who can tell. One is Gen.
HOOKER; he is not here to answer, and
the other man prefers to say nothing! "
These are the on dts of the Capital.

Army News.

The following, from thu Philadelphia
Press, will explain the reason of our lack
of reliable intelligence from the Army of
the Potomac, as well as the flood of ru-
mors, which come from Washington and
Philadelphia.
The difficulty in obtaining a conduct to the
army, exceeds all belief. The Cerberus OF the
War Department is resolute and fixed 1t is
stated that General Hooker has emphatically
requested if not demanded, that there shall be
no communication with the army. except by
those who are part and parcel Of the army.
Newspaper correspondents have given up all
possible hope of reaching, for some time to
come, within many miles of the headquarters
of the army. Those who come down here to
inquire for the welfare of wounded friends,
and hope to aid them in getting to their homes,
come here in vain; and the friends Of the
wounded come here as legion. Many who
think that the heads of the departments have
no good cause to set aside intruders that the
business of their Office may proceed in order,
have found ample scope to rave and find fault.
When the interdict will be removed it is inn
possible to say. For the present however.
YOU might advise all interested, that trip to
Falmouth via Washington, or via any other
way. is beyond all hope.

Organization of an Invalid Corps.

The War Department has authorized the
organization of an invalid corps. The
companies are to be made up from officers
and enlisted men of the. commands now in
the field, who, from wounds received in
action or disease contracted in the line of
duty, and unfit for field service, but are
still capable of effective garrison duty, or
such other duty as may be required of an
invalid corps. This corps will also include
officers and enlisted men still in the SER
vice and on the rolls, but who are absent
on duty in hospitals OR convalescent camps,
or otherwise under the control of medical
officers; and officers, and men honorably
discharged on account of wounds and di-
sease, who desire to re-enter the service
and are accepted. The Provost Marshal
General is charged with the execution of
the order, and the troops organized under
it will be under the control Of his bureau.

Bassett, Esq, of this town on Friday night last
conveys the painful intelligence of the death of
Capt. Dudley P. Chase. Capt. Of Co. A, I'd Re-
giment Berdan's Sharpshooters.
The particulars of his death have not yet
been received, but it is known that he was in
the first days recent severe fight in the neigh
borhood of Fredericksburg, and lost his life in
the engagement. Capt. Chase was brave and
gallant officer, and universally loved by the
men of his command. Here at home, where
SO many knew him as a good and worthy cti-
zen the news of his death will be deeply
mourned. Minneapolis Atlas.
O. BROWN, of the Faribault Republican, thus
describes his feelings at Hooker's reverse.
We felt gloomy and discouraged. We lost
faith in humanity, the Government, the army,
and the generals, and really began to think
God was after u.s. not only with the sharp bay
onets of the rebels, but the elements them
selves were made the ministers of his ven-
geance.
If Brown has not felt the same ever
since the war commenced, we have sadly
misunderstood the tone of bis paper.

1t is stated that the President was lndu-
ced to issue his proclamation, making Tor
eiguers who have declared their intentions
to become citizens of the United States,
liable to consumption, by a letter from
EARL RUSSELL. It will be remembered
that a few weeks since LORD LYONS sent
communication to the British Premier,
Earl RUSSELL, requesting decision wheth-
er the Home Government would claim
control over those who had merely decla-
red their intentions to become citizens.
The interval which has elapsed between
the communication and the reply, would
seem to indicate that the decision which
was rendered, and of which the President
was officially notified, was made after due
consideration of the subject
EARL RUSSELL, in his communication,
instructs Lord LYONS to inform the Presi-
dent that while the British Government
did not mean to exercise official control
over foreigners who had renowned their
allegiance to her Britannia Majesty, it
would only be id conformity to the comfy
and law of nations to allow such persons
certain time to leave the country, es-
pecially as they have not been invested
with all the rights and privileges Of citi-
zens by declaring their intentions, and
thus to give them an opportunity to re-
turn to the nation they had left. The
communication also stated that if sucn per-
sons were found in the United States, after
the term allowed them to leave, they
might be subject to CONSUMPTION.
1t is stated that this communication led
President to issue his last proclamation.

The Rebel Official Account Of the
Capture of Col. Streight

TULLAHoMA, Tenn, May 5, 1868.
To General s. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector Gen:
On the 18th of April the enemy, moving from
COrinth towards Tuscumbia, crossed Bear creek
with five regiments of cavalry and two OF in
fantry, and ten pieces of artillery. Colonel
ROddy, commanding, fought them on the 18th
with one regiment, capturing more than one
hundred prisoners and one piece of artillery,
with horses and caisson, losing six killed and
twenty wounded. The enemy, after burying
their dead, fell back and on the 10Th were re-
inforced to three full brigades, the whole un-
der command of General Dodge. s FINISHING
continued on the 10TH goth, 21st, 22d aud 23d.
On the night of the 10Th the enemy landed
troops at EastpOrt from large number OF
steamers, and burned the town and houses on
several plantations. On the Oath, Roddy fought
them. Their loss was heavy, ours light. He
contested every inch of ground, but falling
back before overwhelming forces the enemy
advanced and entered Tuscumbia on the 25th.
The enemy advanced towards Decatur, as far
as Town creek.
Nothing more occurred until the 2Sth. On
that day Forrest, with his brigade, having been
ordered by me from Columbia, arrived and en-
gagged them all day. with the loss of one killed
and three wounded. The loss of the enemy
was heavy.
On the 2Sth Forest discovered heavy force
of cavalry under Colonel Straight, marching on
Moulton and Brownsville. General Forrest
pursued this force with two regiments; fight
ing him all day and night at Drivers Gap, at
Sand Mountain, with loss of five killed and
fifty wounded Captains Forrest and Thomp-
son it is feared MORALLY. The enemy left on
the field fifty killed. one hundred and fifty
wounded, burned fifty of his wagons, turned
loose two hundred and fifty mules and one
hundred and fifty negroes and pursued his way
towards Blountsville, Gadsden and Rome,
Georgia.
On the Sd of May, between Gadsden and
Rome, after five days and nights of fighting
and marching, General Forrest captured Col.
Streight and his whole command, about 1,60O,
with rifles, horses, &c.
