LOCAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS.

The +" SIEGE" AT RENDEZVOUS OF DIsTRIBU-
rIoN.-As might have been supposed, under the
circumstances, our camp was the stage of some
stpgpendOus precautionary measures during the
"siege" of Washington by the rebels, and we
feel confident that had they extended their in
eursions to this locality the enemy would have
been received with warmth of hospitality that
would have produced any other than agreeable
sensations among them. Our ears were greeted
almost hourly with rumors of /" terrible engage
ments" and wholesale captures of our out
posts by the enemy at different points on this
side of the river-that they occupied this and
that place in force and would soon be upon us
to which ''let them come, we are ready for them,
would invariably be the reply. After arming
and organizing all the available men in the
camp and hospital, the regular routine of bust
proceeded as usual, and casual observer
would not have discovered that any preparation
had been made to repulse hostile attack. Thus
we waited and watched for the anticipated adj
vance, but finding that this locality was becom-
ing exceedingly unhealthy for men of their ex-
tremely Southern constitutions and political
complexion, the enemy withdrew without essay
ing to test the steel try the range of the metal
south of the Potomac The reception with which
they were met on the north bank of the river
doubtless dispelled any illusions that they might
have entertained in reference to the indefensi-
bility of the national capital, and supposing,
Alright, that similar preparations had been made
for their entertainment the south side, they
very judicously acted upon the popular rebel
maxim that "discretion is the better part of
valor" and left without disturbing the quiet or
interfering in any way with the operations of
camp.

OUR Posi- BAND, of which the camp is justly
proud, has recently received an important access
sion to it's ranks, consisting of two skillful per-
formers on the claronet and piccolo. The pres
ence of these instruments has added greatly to
the volume and harmony of the music, which
without them, was regarded by competent judges
as of the first order.

displayed by the military authorities of Wash :
ington, during the recent rebel incursion, the
correspondent of the New York Times refers in
the following complimentary terms to the newly
appointed Military Governor of the District of
Columbia
"Colonel Wisewell, Chief of Veteran Reserve
Corps, and Military Governor of the District,
sent all the troops at his disposal into the
trenches, and, to the surprise of every one,
ganized from among the guards, attendants and
convalescents at the hospitals effective force
of over three thousand men. By means of patrols
he also gathered up all the officers in Washing
ton fit for duty, and in less than twelve hours
had fitted out his new command and sent it to
the front under experienced and reliable COM
manderS.
A CROWDED CAMP.-At no time since the camp
was changed from a convalescent depot to Rem
devious of Distribution, hasit been so complete
ly damned as at present. The late rebel raid
was the signal for wholesale depletion of the
hospitals, every man capable of bearing arms
being sent forward to rebel the invaders, and
the necessity for their services having passed,
these men arriving here in large detachments
almost hourly. Large numbers, wounded in
the late engagements, still unfit for service,
and will, doubtless, be returned to hospital inn
medately.
THE MINUTE MEN organized at Augur Gen
eral hOSpltal, including all the Stewards nurses,
and convalescent patients, to the number of one
hundred, are under regular course of military
discipline, and should an emergency arise in
which their services should be required, this
command would doubtless render effective SER

REMOVAL OF THE CoNTRABAND CAMP.-The
large collection of log huts situated in of
and in close proximity to Freedman's Village,
for long time occupied as contraband camp,
have been removed, during the past week, to the
island opposite Georgetown, where, we under
stand it is the intention to re-erect them in
substantial manner, and form an auxiliary camp
to the regular village. They proved serious
obstruction to the range of the forts in the vi
entity, and would have constituted an admira-
BILE shelter for the sharpshooters of an assailing
force in the event of attack upon the defences.
Their removal at this time is most opportune,
considering the days of 'dread alarm" in which
we live.

Every unconditi onal Union man of

Hudson made one of his telling speeches
while the Committee on Resolutions was
preparing its report @
The resolutions, reported by Col.
Dick Thompson as chairman of the
committee, are sound, patriotic and en-
phatic. They declare that the Govern
ment was designed to be perpetual; that
the Union must and shall be preserved;
that secession is disunion, and disunion
by armed force is treason; that the re-
bellion was inaugurated By Southern
traitors. They oppose all compromise,
and favor the policy of "conquering a
peace" They favor con6scation of all
rebel property; endorse the several pro-
CARNATIONS of the President $50 far as he
has gone" and are in favor of destroy
ing everything that stands in the way of
permanent and perpetual peace, and a
full and complete restoration of the just
authority of the Union under the Consti-

take Those taking the amnesty oath

as to slaves This is something different

citizenship was held by right of birth, or
naturalization; now it is held as favor
eonferred-hcld by pardon and upon
conditions, The citizen " as he was be-
fore P" had only to observe the require

those who we're rebels, directly or by

also the requirements of the oath they
have taken. They are now citizens only
by favor and upon conditions, and when
they endeayor to evade the conditions.
on the ground that they are citizens

AFFAIRS IN TENNEssEE.-We convers-
ed with a gentleman from Marshal
county, who gave quite an encouraging
account of the condition of the people
in the counties of Marshal, Giles and
Maury. He says the quantity of pro-
duce still remaining in these counties is
large, Notwithstanding the drafts which
have been made upon them by both the
rebel and Federal armies The princi-
pal want felt, is the scarcity Of labor,
horses, and mules. There is still in the
hands of farmers much corn, wheat, and
cotton. Some farmers made last season
larger crops than usual, free labor being
used, and in the end they will realize
more profit by the change from slave to
free labor. There is great breadth of
land sown in wheat, which is very prom
ising and farmers are cipating
larger crops Of cotton this year, if the
season should prove favorable, than they
have produced for many years past; and
what is better, they expect this as the
result of free labor This is healthy
indication. We trust that the Govern
ment will give them as much protection
as possible. il1ij l

The Rebels Don't Like II.

Nothing could more forcibly evince
the dangerous Importance which the
rebel leaders attach to the Presidents
Amnesty Proclamation than the con-
spicuous omission of its publication in
the rebel papers. This enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only document of
the war which has not been promptly
seized and reproduced in their journals.
Even the Presidents Proclamation of
Emancipation received wide circulation
in the rebel press, for it was relied on as
an addition to their stock of fuel for
" firing the Southern heart" while it was
safe from the eyes of the class imme-
diately interested in it. But the Amnesty
Proclamation has not been reproduced
in single tebel paper.

PRESIDENT LINCoLN.-In his speech in
New York, General CAN'T, of Arkansas,
said:
" Mr. Lincoln is not insane, and amt
as big fool as we all thought he was
down South. Great laughter.1 We
think the old fellow is pretty longheaded
after all. He has cut under us pretty
well anyhow. He has proclamated US,
and shot us, and done everything else
with ms. Laughter. He knows this
that fame has higher niche for him
when he retires from his position as Mr..
Lincoln, Ex-President of the United
States, than as the despoiler of his coun-
trys rights, and the destroyer of sa-
cred Constitution. He will have a
prouder portion simply as Ex-President
OF. the United States, than the man who
has diadems and stars on his brow.
