WASHINGTON, Jan. s.
la the House to-day an amendment to the
Senate enrolment bill was adopted as a sub
stitute for one of the original sections, which
forever provides that any parsou drafted into
the military service may, before the time fixed
for his appearance at the draft rendezvous,
furnish an acceptable substitute, subject to
such rules and regulations as may be prescrib-
ed by the Secretary of War. Ii such person
is not liable TO the draft, the person furnishing
him shall be exempt from draft during the
time for which such substitute is not liable to
draft, not exceeding the term for which he
was drafted. And if such substitute is liable
to draft, the name of the person furnishing
him shall be liable to draft in filling further
quotas.
The following is the reply of Commissioner
Ould to Gen. Hitchcock's note, requesting an
even exchange of prisoners, and Gen. Butler s
note in answer to his
In another communication Gen. Hitchcock
is reminded that by Davis proclamation Gen.
Butler is under the ban of outlawry, and that
while he cannot prescribe what agents the
United States shall employ, self respect re-
quires that the Confederate Government
refuse to treat with person SO obnoxious,
and that Gen. Buffers agency cannot there
fore be recognized or his person protected by
a flag Of truce.
Gen. Butler returned the note, and said in
reply mo right OF declaration of outlawry
by those authorities of any officer or soldier
of the United States can be admitted, or for a
moment regarded by the Government of the
United States, as it certainly will not by the
person upon whom such intimidation is at
tempted. He informs Robert Gu d that I'M
less his flag of truce is respected, all further
communication by flag Of truce between those
authorities and ours must cease,
On the 18th of January Gen Butler writes
again, asking for an exchange OF the lists OF
prisoners and Of deaths, aud proposing the
making up of monthly lists.

BAKERS CAVALRY, AND HOW 1T WAS
10th Of June last, Capt. w. II. Hall of the
23d Maine, then stationed at Alexandria, OBJ
tanned authority from the Secretary of War
to raise a company TO be mustered out Of
that regiments its time was about out
and be mustered into Bakers Battalion. But
owing to some opposition, he dropped the
matter until after the regiment was mustered
out in July, when, through his own efforts
and after many trials, he again obtained per-
mission from Washington and Gov. Coburn to
recruit company, which was to be credited
to the State, with the understanding that the
men were to have $500 bounty. For three
months he worked hard and recruited and
caused TO be recruited, l40 men, and was
about to leave for Washington when he was
informed that the men could be paid only
500 bounty, consequently he was obliged 10
disband them.
Soon after it was started again, (Gov. Co
burn then granting State aid which he would
not give Halls men) and there has been and is
being six companies raised, and it is thought
it will be changed into Maine cavalry. So
we can but give Capt. Hall credit fol what
has been done, as no other State has sent any
companies for that regiment. We understand
the Captain is about to enter the service
again, and we hope he will get the position
his long experience merits. He entered the
service on the day Sumter was bombarded, as
private in the far-famed 9th Mass, and up
to the 18th of July last he had only lost q
days out Of the service.

city:
An officer who left Mitchells Station this
morning, says that about dusk last evening" the
rebels threw large force OF infantry and ar
tilery down towards Raceoon Ford, and op-
ened fire with artillery on our troops stationed
there. The cannonading was kept up until
late this evening without serious loss upon our
side. During the night we moved reinforce
ments 10 the front to test the rebels whether
1t be feint or an attempt at raid.
Another dispatch says: At O'Clock A. NJ.
on Saturday, the Sd corps advanced to the
hapidan TO dispute the crossing of the enemy,
driving them and capturing many prisoners.
At 4 O'Clock p. NJ, the I'd corps having
crossed, Joined the Sd corps, and the advance
was continued, the enemy still resisting. but
in vain. They fought two hours desperately,
but were unable to check or repulse our i'd
vancing columns. The loss of the enemy in
prisoners and killed and wounded, is very
large. The result of this movement is very
satisfactory, and other important movements
will follow.
