Out of these they o1er days allowance in the week

Truly this is charity They said that The people OF
Richmond bad been kind to them, occasion served,
and they wished to express their gratitude Dolly the

flowing return We pleased TO say that their offer
was kindly declinsd But it wolves On the people OF

Joshua R. Giddings, American Consul
General in Canada, was on the floor Of
the House this morning. II is understood
he objects to the bill now before the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations, Gre
ating additional Consulates aleng our
Canadian Frontier. Mr.. Giddings states
that the change of sentiment in Canada
towards this country is very decided, and
urges in return that we should not respect
the reciprocity treaty.
The Secretary Of the Navy, in response
to Senate resolution Of inquiry, says no
transfers Of sesmen from the army to the
navy have been effected under the recent
sot Of Congress, and 80 vessels Of war are
now waiting compliments of men. Not
only are those waiting for crews but the
terms Of many seamen now in the service
have expired and men have been kept on
our ships, though justly entitled to be dis
charged were they not detained. Many
vessels on blockade duty would have to 60
out Of service. This state of things is to
be deplored, and in great measure if not
altogether, attributed to unfortunate leg
islation.
The enrolment act Of last Congress 30
utterly ignored the naval service that en-
listments in that service we're not per-
mitted to be credited on the quotas Of fthose
cammunities from which they were drawn
when the draft csmc TO be enforced. In
addition to these obstacles the offer Of ex-
traordinary bounties for army enlistments;
while not dollar was paid to the sailor,
operated to the discredit Of the naval SER
vice and held out strong inducements for
the military service.
1t appears from official Communication
Of the Secretary Of War that the strength
of our forces in Kansas and the Indian
territory subject to the order of General
Curtis in l6, 900 men.

RECAPITULATION.


The recent act Of Conrgess, approved
February "a, 1864, provides that "all able
bodied male colored persons, between the
ages Of 20 and 45 years, resident in the
United States, shall be enrolled, and shall
form part Of the national forces, and shall
be liable to draft" Section 11th Of the
act Of 1868 provides that ali persons thus
enrolled shall, when called into service, be
placed on the same footing in all respects
as volunteers for three years or during the
war. including advance pay and bounty as
now provided by law.
The Solicitor Of the War Department has
given his opinion that these acts provide
for three classes Of oolored men
1. Colored men who have been enrolled
and drafted; these being entitled to the
advance pay and bounty as provided for
other volunteers.
2. Slaves OF loyal masters who shall
have been, or shall be drafted.
8. Slaves Of loyal masters who shall vol
unteer, or have volunteer.
I In each case, beside the bounty or COM
pensstiOn paid to the master, the slave is
| entitled to his freedom
No provision Of bounty or pay is made
in this act for free colored volunteers.
Bills are now before Congress which, il
passed, will provide for the aforementioned
class also, bounty and additional pay.
