FORT MONROE, June 23.-Colonel James
Curry, c. s. at this depot, opened proposals
to-day for furnishing fresh beef for six months,
ending December 3lst, to the troops and Gov.
eminent employees drawing rations at Fort
Monroe, Camp Hamilton, Norfolk and York
town. The proposals ranged from S1O65 to
SIS per 100 lbs. net.
The steamer W. P. Kennedy, of the Boston
line of steamers, touched here this afternoon
and took on board thirty co!ored men and
women for Boston, Mass, where homes in
various families in that city have been pro-
cured. On previous trip the Kennedy took
like number; and under arrangements made
by the Freedmen's Bureau, which have the
matter in charge, many other parties will be
sent North as rapidly as employment can be
procured for them. This movement is looked
upon with intense interest by the farmers and
residents of the Peninsula, which swarms with
freed people of all ages. They are confident
that the movement will lead to other similar
enterpri ;es upon larger scale, and be pro-
ductive of most important advantages to the
laiHilL9 lHIeIeStS VI LnlS SecJlOn OF the State.
The officers Of the Freedmen's Bureau in this
district are entering with zeal into the enter
prise, and the fact that sixty thousand Gov
eminent rations are monthly issued to desti-
tute, helpless and unemployed freed people
under their charge, within a circle of about
twenty miles, shows the Importance of en-
couraging efforts to help these people to
become self sustaining
The United States gunboats Winnepec, Saco
and Marblehead, and the ling yacht Amer
lea, portion of the squadron of the United
States Naval School, have arrived at Norfolk
from Annapolis. The sailing figates Mace
DOMAIN and Savannah, which have on board
the balance of the young midshipmen of the
Naval Academy, have not yet reached here,
owing to head winds, but will probably arrive
tonight. The whole fleet will rendezvous in
HAMPTON Roads.

LOUISVILLE, June 22.-The Old Louisville
Presbytery adjourned after four days SEES
sion. This body proceeded, irrespective Of
the General Assembly, to adjudicate the Wal
nut Street Church case, ignoring the elders
endorsed by the Assembly. They adopted the
act of their Commissioners at St. Louis as
their own, and proceeded throughout on the
ground that from the time their delegates
were excluded the Assembly had no jurisdic-
ton over them, and its acts, so far as con-
cerned this Presbytery, are an usurpation.
A minority, who desired to sustain the Gen
eral Assembly, withdrew and formed another
Presbytery, which adjourned after denouncing
the old Presbytery, and warning the people
against them.
