THE SOLDIERS VoTMo AoT.-A com,
muuication from Gen. J. W. PhelpS' =.
Brattleboro, upon the Soldiers voting
Act, will be found in our columns this
morning, So far as the constitutional
ty OF the act is concerned, the question
is hardly an open one, since the decls-
ion of it by our Supreme Court. With
that decision, we, at all events, are sat-
listed. So far as the policy or expedien-
CIV of the act is concerned, Of course the
question is always open for further con-
sideration. Our own views upon the
latter point have been briefly expressed
in reply to former communications from
our distinguished correspondent, and
need not be repeated at this time
Should this question be revived at the
next session Of our legislature, it may
be worth while then to reconsider the
arguments pro and con. At present we
publish Gen. Phelps letter without fur
Their comment.

The President upon Reconstruc-
---------- lion. -------

The President has declared himself in
characteristic style as to the recOnstruc-
ton bill passed by Congress which he
did not sign While he approves the
general principle and aim Of the bill, he
raises objections to it substantially the
same as those stated in the Republican
of Saturday, lie does not believe that
congress has the power to abolish slave
ry in the states, or that it can be abol-
ished by the general government, except
by an amendment Of the constitution,
which he hopes to see adopted. 1t fol-
lows Of course that Congress cannot
impose emancipation upon any state as
condition precedent upon reconstruc-
ton, or readmiSsion to the Union. The
president is also unwilling to limit re-
construction to any iuheXible mode, as
this bin does, but Desires to have the
matter left open, so that each case may
be determined according 20 its merits
and the attending circumstances. Still
more unwilling is the president to re-
mand to territorial or military rule the
states that have adopted his plan and
reOrgauiZed as free states under it-Lou-
isiana and Arkansas He feels that, it
would be n great wrong and discourage
mant to the loyal citizens OF these states,
as it maulestly would, Nevertheless
he approves the system OF reconstruc-
ton defined in the bill as one out OF sew
cral possible methods, and will accept it
wheneyer Gny TeconsUuctng state
adopts it. The president further prom
Uses executive and military aid to the
rebel states that shall organize loyal
governments.
The proclamation of the president is
unusual and extraordinary in form. 1t
is not to be regarded as an apology for
| pocketing the reconstruction bin, but
as statement of the reasons he would
have given for vetoing it, if there had
been time for veto message 1t is
sound and sensible, and adds another tC

A STRANGE DUEL.--A tragical event
has just taken place at Heidelberg, and
caused a great sensation among the per-
sons connected with the university in
that city. Late in the evening OF the
10Th, q student belonging to the body of
the Swabians was found lying on the
ground weltering in his blood. He had
discharged pistol in the region of the
heart, but the ball having been turned
iside by touching rib, missed the heart,
passed through the lungs and lodged
under the right shoulder blade, whence
it was afterward extracted. At first,
the natural belief was that voluntary
suicide had been intended, but some let
tiers which had been written by the stu
dent showed that he had been the victim
of a shameful kind Of duel.
A foreign student had been grossly
insulted by the Swabian, and satisfile-
ton was demanded; but instead Of fight
ing in the usual way an agreement was
come to TO draw lots which should de.
stroY himself within o delay of q fort
night. The lot fell on the Swabian

delay, but the request was refused, and
the attempt at self-destruction was con-
sequently made. Some hopes are enter
tanned that the wound will not prove
fatal, but all the entreates of the heads
of the university aud of his friends can
not extort from lim promise not to
repeat the desperate act. To all their
solicitations his only answer is, II have
not pledged my honor to seriously wound
myself, but to put an end to my life, and
| will keep nay promise

THE INvAsIoN.--The most important
reports received yesterday affecting the
rebel invasion were to the effect that
Gen. Badly Smith had arrived in Mary
land with the 18th army corps, and that
the 10th army corps, which left New
Orleans short time ago, had also ar
rived If these reports prove true, there
ought to be sufficient force there, with
Hunters, Wallace's, &C., to punish the
sfnvaders" well, while Grant Is not
weakened so as to interfere with the
progress of his operations near Rich
mond Nothing short of movement
of Lees main army north will cause q
cessation of Grants work at Petersburg,
and if such movement is practicable,
and should take place (Which is not at
all likely,) we think Gen. Grant would
consider it a decisive point gained. In
vasions have not hitherto proved profit
able operations for the rebels, and moth
ing but utter desperation would tempt
Lee to try another, with Grant in his
rear.

The Battle Of HEonOcaCy Junction
MARYLAND.


Maryland.
The following brief sketches ofthe bat
tie at Monocacy junction on Saturday
last we take from our New York ex-
changes
The Tribune's report says "Our
forces evacuated Frederick last friday
night, about midnight, falling back to
Monocacy Junction. The rebels, who
were behind Kittoctan Mountain yester-
day, entered the townin force about sun
rise this morning without opposition
and gradually pressed our pickets back
to the MonocaCy, where our main force
was posted to meet them.
A line of our skirmishers stationed be-
tween the Frederick railroad and the
river, composed of the 10th Ohio regi-
ment first opened on the advancing en-
envy, but were soon driven across the
river at the Georgetown pike bridge,
when our guns, on the hills this side Of
the river, commenced throwing shells.
The enemy soon had about double their
number of their guns in position at va
rious points on the other side Of the riv-
err, and commenced to use them pretty
efficiently. Our forces were disposed of
in a single line of battle along all this
side of the river
Gen. Lew Wallace was in chief COM
mand in person. After the artillery fir
ing had somewhat given shape to the
action, and resulted in pressing our line
back q little, the enemy gradually I'D
vanced in three distinct lines of battle,
also throwing out line on each flank,
easily fording the river at all points.
The most desperate fighting took place
on the pressing in Of our left. 1t was in
an open field, and at some points almost
hand to hand encounter. Shells and
bullets howled and whizzed in wild and
terrible confusion, and the utmost cour-
age was displayed on both sides.
The Times report says:
The fighting commenced by the first
brigade, Ricketts, division making an at
tack at about nine o'clock yesterday
Saturday morning on the enemys dis
mounted cavalry in their front, which
were driven back with loss, and some
prisoners taken. The prisoners assert
that General Lee is in command, They
also stated they had plenty of infantry.
AT about ii a. m, the enemy succeeded
in getting their infantry up, and de-
velOped a strong line in trout of Ricketts,
division, and Immediately commenced
advancing to the attack. After fighting
for nearly an hour they were driven
back, and recovering soon after adj
vanced his line. 1t is stated that the
rebel force in full view Of Ricketts, front
this time was not less than seven thou
sand. Our veteran regiments fought
with the greatest gallantry, but were
compelled to give way, leaving our
badly wounded and dead in the enemy's
hands, the enemy having lanked our po-
sition on the left. Rickett had no ar
tillery except Alexander's battery. The
force on the right of the railroad did not
lose as heavily as our left, The rebel
cavalay harrassed our rear, capturing
number of prisoners. Our losses, as
near as | can obtain from different
sources, will not exceed 1000, including
missing"

THE FLoRIDA-On the heels of the
news of the destruction Of the Alabama
comes the announcement of depredations
committed by the pirate Florida near
our coast. On Friday and Saturday last,
she captured near the mouth of the
Chesapeake and the Maryland shore one
steamer, one schooner and six barks, all
of which she burned except one that was
ransomed.-Three or four of our gun
boats have started in pursuit Of the
Florida, and it is hoped the pirate will
meet the fate of her partner, the late Al.
