The latest advices by way Of Wash

not indicate any important change in
the situation. The report that the
rebels had occupied Lookout Noun

rebel sources state that Bragg had
agreed to exchange our wounded pris-

at Stevenson is rebuilt; but he has
been using the river to some extent.

Many rebels, 10 order to secure the
value of their slave property, have
quietly sent their chatteis to Cuba;

Savage, our able Consul. many of these
slaves have been set free. 1t is a law
of Spain that any slave brought from
the continent or adjoining Isles be-
comes free the moment he touches the
soil of Cuba. 1t is the same in the
case OF slave being taken from Cuba
to Spain, Notwithstanding the colonial
relations.

maledictions of the rebel press. They
accuse him of arguing the cause of the
pro-Slavery Republic on anti-Slavery
grounds.
