TRoY. June 29th. 1858.

.Nessrs Editors Of Free Pres:
In reading the report of the trial of Now
ing Machines in to-day's issue of your paper
saw the report made the Machines all of them Of
very heavy draft-much heavier than their ac-
tual draft was.
The dynamometer that was used on that occa-
sion weighed me just previous to the trial $50
lbs, while my actual weight was but 100 lbs 1t
weighed Mr.. Ethan Burroughs at 300 lbs when
his actual weight was 2l2 lbs. So you see the
greater the weight the greater the variation.
By this you will see the report makes each and
all of the machines of much heavier draft than
they actually were. If you will be kind enough
to give this an insertion in your paper, you
will probably undeceive some people that other
wise NAV think all the Machines were of heavy
draft. while their actual draft was fairly light.
And YOU will also oblige,
d. n. VAN PELI.
The two experiments of Mr.. Van Pelt,
made the reading of the Dynamometer forty
three and two-thirds per cent. too much IN
his own case, and forty one per cent. too
much in the case of Mr. Burrows. For the
purpose of comparing the draft of the sew
eral machines the deviation from the average
error would not amount to much.

From New Orleans.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Tribune makes the following
statement regarding ths capture of Brashier
City by rebels, from two men who escaped
from rebel sympatbizers in that city: l
learn that great contrsband camp near
Brashier City was dashed upon by furious
Texans. When l came in camp few
weeks previously, found there as many as
six thousand old men, women and children,
of these, two or three thousand we're re-
moved before the attack, those who remain
ed were slaughtered by the Texan cavalry
in the most shocking manner. The cry of
the sucking babe, the prayer Of the aged,
and the shrieks of the mothers had no
effect. The slaughter was terrible. 1
thought the massacre at St. Martinsville,
where five hundred men where found on
mules striving to reach Gen. Banks army,
and were surrounded, captured and all
hung about month ago, was tad enough,
but this eclipses it completely.

Tho Draft.

The New York Herald estimates that the
draft will call for 2200 men from each Con.
gressional district. This would raise $685.
160 men if the draft was made in every
district in every loyal State.
Another New York paper thinks that one
person in forty will be drafted. Rhode Is
land, for example, has population of
la, 620, and her actual draft, for the SER
vice, on this basis, would be 1881. Fifty
per cent. more men will be drafted than are
wanted in order to make up for exemptions
that is, Rhode Island will have 1921
conscripted, although only 1881 are wanted
for actaal service.
According to this calculation, 4012 per.
sons will be drafted in Kansas in order to
raise 2675 men-or one in forty of our
population.
If Kansas had been credited with all the
men she has raised, the draft would not
touch US. But the State Adjutant Generals
Office has been most loosely conducted, and
the probability now is that We shall have to
bear our proportion of the conscription.-

From the Potomac.

CHICAGO, July IL.
Sundays advices from the theatre of
military operations on the Upper Potomac,
seem to render it almost certain that Lee
has succeeded in placing his army in a
position where, if not speedily attacked, be
can withdraw in safety to the Virginia side
of the Potomac.
Sunday night be withdrew his line from
Antietam, and massed bis army on the neck
Of land opposite Falling Water. This neck
is surrounded on three sides by the Poto-
mac, thus effectually protecting the tanks
of his army, and consequently giving him
decidedly the advantage in position, and
enabling him to proceed with the work of
crossing in comparative security.
Dispatches intimate that Meade will i'm
mediately attack the new rebel position.
There is, however, but little grounds of
hope that he will succeed in damaging the
rebel army to any great extent.

The Rebel Government desires IN Interview.

NEW YORK, JULY.
A Herald's special last night says on the
4tb, the rebel gunboat Dragon, came down
James River with flag of true, and Vice
President Stephens and Commissioner Ould
on board. They represented that they
were bearers of important letters from JEFF.
Davis to President Lincoln, and requested
permission to proceed to Washington in the
Dragon to present the letters in person.
Admiral Lee, having no authority, tele-
graphed to Washington for instructions.
A special cabinet meeting was called this
morning to consider the matter, which in
wolves many delicate and important ques-
tons. As such proceeding, if allowed,
might be construed into an acknowledge.
ment of the nationality of the pretended
Confederate Government, no decision was
arrived at, and the cabinet meeting accord
ingly adjourned till to morrow. Admiral
Lee vas instructed to ascertain if possible
the object of the mission.
In the meantime, however, the tug con.
tanning the rebel ambassadors turned about
and steamed up the river, without any
parting salute or explanation.
The President has since decided that the
applications of Stephens and Ould for a
personal interview cannot be granted; that
must be received through
ordinary channels.
A gentleman, arrived from Richmond,
who left day before yesterday, says great
prevailed there. The streets
are occupied chiefly by armed citizens.
Fears are entertained that Lee will be cut
off, and Richmond captured before the
army can be concentrated there.

NEW YoRK Julv IL.

L NEW YORK, July IL.
The Herald's Washington dispatch gives
the Presidents reply to the Louisians
| planters who petitioned for authority t.
elect Federal and State officers under the
existing Constitution. The President does
not favor it, as a respectable portion Of the
people of Louisiana contemplate holding a
convention to amend the State Constitution
also, does not see how it would facilitate
military operations, and might be used to
embarrxss them. He concludes by saying
the people of Louisiana shall not lack op-
portrnity for fair election of Federal and
State officers.
The same correspondent says the ques.
tioc of peace is already being considered in
Cabinet circles, and we are in the midst of
a Cabinet crisis growing ont of PROPOSE
ton of Seward for Presidential proclama-
ton, Offering an amnesty to the people Of
the South, suspending the liabilities of con-
6scation, and Offering full pardon in person
and property to the people of the South,
excepting military aud civil leaders. Sew.
ard suggests that they should be allowed
their property, but be ineligible to Office.
Bates and Blair favor the proposition modi-
fed; Stanton and Chase oppose it; it is
supposed Welles will be against it, the
President has not yet expressed his opinion.
The same correspondent assumes to know
the object of Stephens mission, and says
it was the intention of Davis to offer plan
for peace, including the restoration of the
Union on the terms embraced in Hunters
speech previous to the rebellion in fact,
separate governments for the North aud
South, but only one President. This was
to take the negro out of national politics.

A VERIFIcArfoS.-The Council Grove Press, .
papsEEwhich stated that all business connection
between that locality and Kansas City had been
sundered, publishes paragraph from the Kansas
City Journal. respecting the SAINT. Fe trade.
which says: While other points are talking
about this trade, Kansas City is doing it. and
will continue to do it. We have the stock, and
the men who know the business. we have the
best position for it on the river. Nature made
the great Santa Fe road-one whose equal don't
exist in the woodland when she made it, she
made this Ksnsas City, the natural entrspot for
the trade of the plains" Which viii undoubtedly
be the ease unless Leavenworth takes hold of our
idea, and turns the barrier which opposes her to
her own advantage. What will the Leavenworth
Times say of the Press for publishing such .
statement! It evidently has the tendency to
tsake Leavenworth "fourth rate town." What
AZ proposed was to the effect that she might
eyeid such fate.
