TH%CALL FOR MORE TROOPS. —Our readers are aware that the Governors of the non-slave holding states (Massachusetts, lowa, and Rhode Island excepted) made a recommendation to the President to call out more troops to aid in the "speedy" suppression of the rebellion. In accor dance with this recommendation the President has issued a call for 300,000 additional volun teers. The letter of the Governors to the Pres ident and also the call ol the latter, were unin tentionally omitted from our columns during our absence. Had we been at our post, wc would have published both, but we would also have accompanied them with the expression of our honest opinion that if 000,000 men (the num ber already in the field) cannot put down the rebellion, it is vain to bankrupt the country in order to raise 800,000 more. The "anaconda" system is evidently a mistake, as it exhausts our army without bringing the rebel states into sub mission. Besides, if wo are to have a hundred tlinuwotd men h~ otvl fifty in the cases of McDowell's and Hunter's divi sions) doing nothing but running oil' and send ing back negro slaves, whilst McClellan Is to find his way to Richmond with a force inade quate to the undertaking, it is our humble no tion that wc had better drop the grand snake program and proceed in some more active and energetic manner, which can be done without feeding the ."anaconda". with 300,000 raw re cruits. TION. VV. P. SCHELL. —The flattering vole re ceived by (bis gentleman, in the late Democrat ic State Convention, beforo which he was pre sented by his numerous friends as a candidate for the nomination for Auditor General, is a handsome testimonial to his worth as n man and his standing as a Democrat. On the 4th bal lot Mr. Sehell had 32 votes and Mr. Slenkor 33, this being the test bnllot as between these two gentlemen, the delegates opposed to the re-nom ination of Mr. Wright, of Philadelphia, (who ran up to 50 votes) concentrating, from that time forward, on Mr. Slonker, as Mr. Wright's stron gest opponent, he however, leading Mr. Sehell but one rote. Had Mr. Sehell received but one vote more and Mr. Slenker but one vote less, on the 4th ballot, our favorite would, doubtless, have received the nomination. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. —We publish the Democratic State platform in this issuo. Some ''Republicans" are endeavoring to place a wrong construction upon the second and third resolutions of the series, alleging that they sus tain Lincoln's administration. This is simply false. Those two resolutions sustain an "ener getic prosecution of the war," "to the cud that the Union may bo restored and the Constitution and laws enforced throughout its whole extent." Now, Mr. Lincoln and the Republicans throw the Constitution to the dogs, trample the laws under foot, and, instead of prosecuting the war so ns, if possible, to restore the Union, carry it on in such a manner ns will render permanent disunion certain and inevitable. BEDFORD ENGLISH SCHOOL. —We cannot re frain from saying a good word for this institu tion, which continues under fhe charge of Prof. J. W. DICKERSON, who will be assisted, during the coming session, by Mr. JOHN G. FISIIER. We know that both these gentlemen are accom plished teachers, and if our testimony is not re ceivable on this subject, wo need but refer the public to the success of Messrs. Dickerson and Fisher since their advent as teachers in this community, to establish the correctness of our assertion. The youth of Bedford are safe in their hands. "SKGESH' GUN. —We were shown, the other day, by Mr. Nich. Lyonß, of this place, a rifled musket, taken from a rebel soldier, by Captain T. H. Lyons, in a recent fight on Stono river, S C. It is a dangerous gup, of British man ufacture. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. ST. CLAIR 'IV., July 12, 1802. MR.-EDITOR: I see by lookiag over the Bedford Inquirer of tho 4th and 11th inst., in each of those num bers, a short, but utterly false statement con cerning the projected new township, which was to have been formed out. of parts of Bedford, St. Clair and Union. Now, Mr. Editor, in or der to give your readers an idea how this pro ject was gotten up, and how it was defeated in the end, the writer of this will give you a cor rect and true statement from the beginning. In the first place, as the Inquirer calls it, "the project" was not a Democratic one, but really gotten up by a certain Justice of the Peace and a certain other gas-bag, both black republicans, who made and framed the plan for a new town ship, stating to'the writer if he would agree to take hold of this "project", and have the peti tions, &c., gotten up, that they would not let the writer stick, but would agree to help him pay all costs that might be made in the matter, whether we got the new township or not. They also agreed to get every republican in that part of Union which would fall into the new town shin, to go for the division, if the writer would agree, to get the Democrats of his parts of Union and St. Clair to do so, and in this way we could get one of the l>est townships in the county, and they in Union would be cut off from the ridge and mountain tax payers, who pai'l very little, and had nearly all the roads anil schools to be kept up by the tax-payers of the lower end, and stated that the upper end had nearly all the chil dren and they might sec how they got them schooled. So the writer went to work and got all arranged to hold tho election.' When ldQ and behold! what did this 'Squire and his gas bag coadjutor and a few more of the Bepubli cans do, but go to work and make a calculation how the politicaof the township would stand if so divided, when they found the oh! part of Union would be Democratic, as well as the new township. Well, this began to make them feel uneasy, and the said 'Squire cast a look ahead and got frightened at what lie supposed to be cutting a stick to have himself well whipped with some da)', seeing that his lease of office was not fixed for lif'o. So the 'Squire and the gas-bag and a certain William, who was last spring badly lieaten by the Democrats of old St. Clair, for School Director, along with a few more who are eveiy spring looking up for some little township office from fence inspector to the justiceship, went to work, rode the township, saw every Republican, told them how matters might work some day if this project would suc ceed, and urged every ono to be up and doing, day and night, to defeat this division. They o* - en held night meetings, appointed men to go and see every Democrat at the upper end, urg ing on them not to go for the division, stating to them that their road and school taxes would be more than double, and they in the lower end felt lor their interest, and hoped and prayed that they would not make a political matter out of it in any way; and thus the Democrats in the upper end, nearly all, were induced to vote a gainst the division. And now they claim the defeat of a project started by themselves as a great Republican victory. So ends the getting up of the project by the Esquire and gas-bag of the new township. J lie writer will also ask you, Mr. Editor, to Sir a word resueetin'r Ma Daniel Beading's ease, i he Democrats never cud, and! hope never will, desire to put a black, stinking negro on an equal ity with the white man. But, Mr. Editor, we like to see tlio whites have equal rights, let them be poor or rich, and Mr. Bradley is not a negro and I will agree to have him come into open court and let him sit sido by side with certain Republicans who objected to him voting and let the judge, jury aud the whole court say whieli is the whitest or looks the most like a negro. The writer knows those persons well, aud judg ing from the looks, say lips, nose, blue eyes, straight hair, white skin, red cheeks, &e., Mr. Bradley would stand A No. 1; and the only reason why the Republicans try to disfranchise this youth and his father, is that they are Dem ocrats and nothing else. Yet, I was told a few days ago, that there might be another reason given by one. person for his opposition to young Bradley's vote. It appears that this person wanted to marry young Bradley's mother when a girl, hut Mr. Bradley being much the best looking man, of course succeeded, to the great disgust and disappointment of bis very white rival. Mr. Jolm Bradley, the father of this young man, was a regular voter, to my own knowledge, in St. Clair township, until one fall when the whig politicians began to think there was going to be a tight election, and hence ob jeeted'to his vote. No one l>cing by, at the time; to investigate the case for him, and being a poor nmn, they scared him away, and he has never since offered to vote. The Inquirer also states that the Democrats pulled the incritable nigger up to the polls to vote on the division of the new township. This is a lie of the deepest dye. No one asked Air. Bradley to go, or to vote, but he went, of his own free will, lie asked me for a ticket and said that was going to be his first vote, as ho was going to vote on age. Mr. Editor, I desire through your columns, to ask the Inquirer to copy this, so that its read ers may see a correct history of the now town ship "project," and the Bradley ease ns it stands. THE WRITER. [The following lotter from a highly valued correspondent, should have appeared in our last, but was not received until after our paper was put to press.] SOUTH WOODBCBY, July Ist, 1802. MB. EDITOR : A few weeks have elapsed since 1 found leisure to pen a few lines for your inter esting paper; and in the mean time, nothing at tracting special attention has transpired. The sick soldiers of our place, who made their es cape from the hospital at Winchester, when the rebel Gen. Jackson and his force so unexpected ly made their appearance in that place, have nearly all recovered from their illness, and one by one, they are leaving for Harrisburg, to re ceive instructions as to the where-abouts of their regiment. A report is popularly current that Capt. Urisban and Lienf. Hurlcigh have resign ed, leaving their places to be fitledjby others. There is naught to disturb tho quietude that now reigns around us, save the merry music, produced by the mowers whet ting their scythes, and now and then a shout of laughter sent up by these jolly sons of industry at tho witty re marks, or pleasant joke of some one of tho happy group. We are now in the midst of haymaking, and it affords us no little pleasure to state, that so far as we have been able to learn farmers are getting n much better yield of hay limn they anticipated u few weeks ago. I.aboring hands are some-what scarce, but it is our impression that n sufficient number will be in readiness to cut the great harvest, which promises to be ready for the sickle in a few days. Myriads of insects arc seen upon the wheat heads, but as yet no discernible injury has been done to the grain by them. Owing to the tangled state of tiio grain, more labor will be required to prepare the present harvest for the barn, than any one for several years previous. Much of the last year's crop of this and Mid dle Woodbury Township, has not yet been dis posed of. Mr. Hare's Mills, one at Pnttonsvillo and the other at Waterstreet, are in active op eration, and Mr. Noble's Mill is doing an excel lent business. In Middle Woodbury the Mills of George Potter, Jeremiah Mentzer, G. R. Barndollar, and Abraham Keagy, are all doing a lively business, which is a fair indication that we arc in the grain growing portion of Bedford County and consequently in a land of plenty. I am sorry to say that in the eastern part of our Township, there are a number of men who are in the habit of coming together on Sunday and playing cards. We know these gentlemen, (?) and we will publish their names—which would make a beautiful list qftitular dignitaries —in due season, if they desist front the practice of this youth-alluring vice. Mote unon, Yours truly EKIJLF. SOUTH WOODBURY, July 7th, 1862. MR EDITOR: The glorious fourth is passed; andhow different were the numerous celebrations with us this year, from tho grand display in Wood bury last year, where thousands of people rush ed to witness the great sight, to feast upon the delicacies prepared for the occasion, to hoar the music of the shrill fife, and the beat of the heart-stirring drum, and to listen to the peals of eloquence, that made the welkin ring, in favor of defending our Constitutional rights. Since then our army has, in mighty numbers, march ed to the field of battle, and to many glorious victories, so that a different order of things are requisite. We liaYe said our celebrations on the fourth inst., wore numerous. Wc were in sight of the hay fields of at least seven differ ent farms, and in every visible bay-field, this (hy-o fall-days in our country's history, was cel ebrated with the same Zealand earnestness. Your humble correspondent bad the extreme gratification of loading—not powder into a can non to bo fired in honor of our country's anni versary, but—six large loads of hay to be stor ed away for the benefit of lowing kine, that shall seek their wonted stall, when bleak winter rolls,his northern blasts over the land; and when naught shall be found on the bare bosom of earth to feed the hungry flocks. Celebrations, like those held around us on the fourth inst., arc fit emblems of the necessi ty of an economical administration in the af fairs of our nation. The honest, hardy and industrious portion of our people made use of the fourth, and they arc making use of all other cfciys of clement weath er, to meet tho coming wants of our country, the great tax, which must soon be earned and paid, not by contractors and public plunderers, but by tho brawny shouldered farmers and mechanics, who contribute more to tho real wealth of the nation, than all the host of boast ed party statesmen, who throng the halls of our public functionaries, to prey upon t.'.ic spoils of office. . r -j. W.AJ,ji—t ~ -,—r-"g nntmSMTny as tve have done that our course Ims I ice re more prudent and profitable, than the one pursued by the parties having the management of affairs at the capital, whence one day a proclamation for ft day of tlianksglving and prayer issues and the next perhaps, are issued cards of invitation for guests to attend a ball at tho White House. More at leisure. EKULF. For the Gatette. Meeting gf the Bedford Bar. At ft meeting of the members of the Bedford bftr, held ftt tlio Court House, on Tuesday after noon, 15th inst., John Mower, Esq., was call ed to the chair, and John Palmer, Esq., chosen secretary. Hon. Alexander King, stated the object of the meeting, and submitted tho fol lowing resolutions which were unanimously a dopted. RESOLVED, That we have heard with emo tions of profoundest grief, of the death of 0. 11. G-aither, Esq., a young, but most promising member of the Bedford Bar, whose learning and talents, had he been spared, would have adorned the profession and made him a useful and prominent citizen. RESOLVED, That the circumstances atten ding his death, add n distinguished lustre to his brief career.—He was amongst the first to volunteer his services in defense of his coun try, and went forth a private soldier, in the ranks, from which he was promoted, on aoconnt of his zeal and intelligence, to Adjutant of the Regiment. He fell amidst a j>erfect storm of shot and shell, in the battle of the 27th ultimo, before Richmond. RESOLVED, That as a feeble tribute to his memory, and as a testimonial of our considera tion of his position and character as ft lawyer, as well as of his services and sacrifices as a pa triot and christian soldier, wo will wear the u sual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days. RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to bis parents and family. RESOLVED, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in tho Somerset nnd Bed ford Papers. On motion, I-lon. Alexander King, Job Mann, Esq., John P. Reed. Esq., Hon. Sam'l. L. Russell and Hon. Wm. P. Scholl were ap pointed a eommittoc to transmit a copy of the above resolutions to the parents of the deceased. Eesolutions Adopted by the Democratic State Conven tion, at Harrisburg, July 4, 1802. WHEREAS, Tlie American Constitution was ordained and established by our fathers, in or der to form a more [>crfect Union, establish jus tice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common.defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to posterity; therefore, Ist Resolved, That the only object of the Democratic party is the restoration of the Union as it was, the preservation of the Constitution as it is. 2d Resolved, That to the end that the Un ion be restored, and the Constitution and laws throughout its whole extent, we pledge our hearty and unqualified support to the Fed eral Government in the energetic prosecution of the existing war. 3d Resolved, That the true and only ol(ject of the war is to restore the Union and enforce the InWs. Such a purpose alone is worthy the awful sacrifice which it. costs us of life and of treasure; with such a purpose alone can we hope for success. And those who from sectional feeling or party or private motives would give any other direction to the efforts of our armies are unjust and unworthy to be- entrusted with power, and would cause all our exertions, ex traordinary and unparalleled as they are, to prove futilo in the end. 4th Resolved, That we justly view with n larra the reckless extravagance which pervades some of the departments of the Fcdcrtd Gov ernment, and that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury by favored partizans and that in view of the re cent startling devolopemcnts of frauds and cor ruptions at the Fedoral metropolis and through out the country that we hold an entire change of administration to be imperatively demanded. sth Resolved , That the party fanaticism or crime, whichever it may be calied, that seeks to turn the slaves of Southern States loose to overrun the North and enter into competition with the white laboring masses, thus degrading and insulting their manhood, by placing them on an equality with negroes in their occupation, is insulting to our race, and merits our most emphatic and unqualified condemnation. 7th Resolved, That wo denounce Northern Ab olitionism and Southern Secession as the co-oper ating sources of our present calamities —alike treasonable to the Constitution and inimical to the Union. The only way to a "restored Un ion and a rejected Constitution with returning peace nnd prosperity is through the overthrow' of both. 7th Resolved, That the Democracy of Penn sylvania is equally opposed to all sectional legis lation and geographical parties, which base their hoj>e for continued partizan success on the ag rarianisra of emancipation and hypocritical phil anthropy of abolition; because neither is known to the Constitution, and both are intended to aid disunion and subvert the Constitution and to prevent the restoration of unity, peace, and concord among States and people. Bth Resolved, That the Constitution and the laws are sufficient for any emergency, and that the suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press, and the unlawful arrest of citizens and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in violation of the Constitution in States where the civil authoritos are unimpeded, is most dan gerous to civil liberty, and should bo resisted at the ballot-box by every freeman in the land. 9th Resolved , That this is a Government of white mon, and was established exclusively for the whito race; that the negro race are not en titled to and ought not to be admitted to politi cal or social equality with the white race, but that it is our duty to treat them with kindness and consideration, as an inferior and dependent race; that the right of the several States to de termine the position and duties of the race is a sovereign right, and the pledges of the Con stitution require us, as loyal citizens, not to in terfere therewith. lOlh Resolved, Tliat Congress has no power to deprive any person of his properly for any criminal offence, unless lhat person has been first duly convicted of the offence fry the verdict of a jury; and that all the acts of Congress like those lately passed by the House of Repre sentatives, which assume to forfeit or confiscate the estates of men for offences of which (hey have not been convicted upon due trial by jury, are unconstitutional, and lead to oppression and pynrrj-* ■I, >. uOyumtnCHllOTl lUr'duUlJ t&a crimes committed in the prosecution of the rebellion are of unexampled atrocity; nor is there any such justification as State necessity known to our Government or laws. 11th Resolved, That the Constitution and U nion and the laws must be preserved and main tained in all their proper and rightful suprema cy, and that the rebellion now in arms against them must be suppressed and put down, and that it is our duty to use all constitutional meas ures necessary and proper to that end. 12th Resolved, That the soldiers composing our armies merit the warmest thanks of the na tion. Their country called, and nobly did they respond. Living, they shall know a nation's gratitude; wounded, a nation's -enre, and dying, they shall live in our memories, and monuments shall be raised to teach posterity to honor the patriots and heroes who offered their lives at their country's altar. Their widows and or phans shall be adopted by the nation, to be watched over, and cared for as objects truly worthy a nation's guardianship. The Mismanagement and Mismanagers of the War Department. There is a time to keep silence and a time to speak. The campaign has concluded with our repulse from before Richmond. The campaign to come will require new troops, new plans and new combinations, with, perhaps, new emergen cies, or foreign complications. The time has come, therefore, to expose, rebuke and correct the errors and mismanagement of the past, in order to secure a thorough reformation for the future. Tho weak point of the nation is the War De partment. From the gross errors, reckless mis management and criminal intrigues which have disgraced that department can be trnced nil the disasters, all the defeats, all the repulses which our arms have sustained. The errors of the W.nr Department have been of a threefold char acter : errors caused by ignorance and incapacity; errors caused by personal and political jealous ies nnd intrigues, nnd errors caused by fanatical abolitionism. Some of the blunders of the Sec retary War and his advisers appear instiga ted oy a combination of all of these faults. We shall endeavor, however, to sufficiently distin guish them, and to demonstrate by results that either an ignoramus, an intriguant or a fanatic is unfit for a Secretary of War. How much less qualified, then, is a man who combines these three unpopular characters ? And we must state in advance that it will not do for President Lin coln to attempt to father Stanton's blunders, as he endorsed Cameron's extravagance. The peo ple will allow such self-devotion for once; but if it be too often renewed the people may take the President at his word. It is better to change a Cabinet officer than a President. NoExecu tive has a right to sacrifice himself in the re spect of the people in order to save the credit of an unpopular subordinate. To first refuse, then accept, then again refuse, and then again call for recruits, was an erjor of ignorance, conceit and incapacity. Of the same character is the error of not receiving all re cruits and organizing them in camps of instruc tion, so ns to have them prepared in case of c mergency. It is an error of incapacity to take State troops to Washington and keep them there, on some trifling punctilio, without being sworn in, and consequently without pay. No business man hangs his worst goods at the door of his store; but the Secretary of War scatters his hos pitals throughout all our large cities, places them next to the recruiting offices in our parks, and :xpccts men to enlist with all the horrid inuti ations of war staring at and discouraging them. Sew recruits consider it an honor to belong to i veteran regiment of tried valor: but such re pments, when decimated in battle, are not tilled ip, but are allowed to dissolve and merge into >ther regiments. Thus the prestige, the eclat, ,ho experience of the veterans are lost to the •aw recruits, Who are obliged to form new and •aw regiments, like some in Casey's brigade at Kair Oaks. The Secretary of War makes 110 provision for accident or emergency, and i call for three hundred thousand troops, not ust before a battle, when the people are cnthu liastic, but just on the heels of a repulse, when he people are depressed. When Stanton divi led McClellan's command he himself assumed lie practical direction of the campaign. The >eople knew and the press announced that Jeff. Davis was massing all his troops at Richmond, ust as a good business man concentrates his neans where ho finds the best investment. The secretary of War could not understand this. Consequently our troops at James Island retreat id from a foe who had gone to Richmond; our roups in the Shenandoah built retrenchments igainst Jackson, who had gone to Richmond; )ur troops at the West stood on the defensive igainst Beauregard, who had gone to Richmond; Mid Burnsido sought in vain for the North Car olina rebels, who liad also gone to Richmond. McClclhn was, therefore, overwhelmed. Now let the Secretary of War reverse his policy, and call our troops from the West, the South and the East, to reinforce McClellan, and the rebels will reconquer Corinth, Memphis, Newborn, the Shenandoah and Hilton Head, by returning as hastily as they left. This is not strategy, but simple common sense. We hope Secretary Stan lon will not (bus complete his long list of blun ders through ignorance, conceit and incapacity. Omitting for the present references to the ex travagance and corruption in financial and con tract matters which are openly charged upon the War Department, we have space only to refer briefly to the official errors from personal and political jealousies and abolition intrigues. The public no longer doubt that certain parties in Congress and the Cabinet regard this war as a mere machine to make Presidents and achieve emancipation. Every general oificcr, therefore, who distinguishes himself or adopts a decisive policy, is at once attacked, and, if possible, dis- graced by this half political, half abolition clique. McClellan's plans have been disastrous ly disarranged. Fremont was supported in Mis souri when he ought to have been removed, re moved when he ought to have been supported, .and appointed to the Shenandoah when he should have been kept in retirement. Banks and McDowell have been sacrificed. Butler has managed New Orleans so well that it is said tho War Department has rebuked him. Hun ter is first ordered, and then forbidden, to arm negroes, and is accordingly disgusted. Dupont is kept idle, at Hilton Head, while Goldsbo rough, who was impliedly rebuked by the Pres ident for not destroying the. Mcrrimae, keeps our iron-clnds idle in James river. Farragut is detained weeks before Vicksbnrg, because ig norant of the capture of Memphis aftd the ex istence of Davis and Ellet's fleets. Incompe tent oilicers kept down by the influence of these political and abolition wirepullers. Is this war? Whatothor government ever assailed its own generals hi the field? What other Secretary TTttr WGUId IlllVC HliwJ tho PicaWcufc to g>< to West Point and submit McClellan's plans to General Scott's supervision? How much lon ger must tho people endure this transformation of a war for the Union into a political squab ble and an abolition intrigue? We all feel sure that President Lincoln is honest and well-mean ing. How much longer, then, willhe allow him self to be deluded—to be separated from the people—to be misrepresented and misled by these intriguers? llow much longer will he allow our bravo soldiers to be sacrificed? llow much longer will he permit defeats? The cri sis demands the sublimest statesmanship, and we seem to have no statesmen in the country. We express but the opinion of the peoplo when we suggest the removal of .Secretary Stanton, who, rightly or wrongly, is unanimous ly regarded as the tool of the Abolitionists, the organizer of disasters, the author of defeats. The President may rest assured that the Sec retary of War distracts the confidence of the public, and that his mere retention in office de lays enlistments and discourages enthusiasm. Tho people desire, also, the suppression of ab olition traitors, who injure the Union cause by their intrigues, by their public utterances and by their asserted familiarity with the Presi dent, who has more to lear from Charles Sumner than from Jeff. Davis. Abolitionists cannot take an oath to support the Union as it is without deserting their abolitionism; and thus abolitionism is proven to be treason.— The President, General Scott, General Mc- Clcllan and General Hallcck should consult, and arrange a new campaign, and the Pres ident should sec to it that it is carried out, and our generals supported firmly against all cabals. Thus reassured for the future, the peo ple will contentedly endure the prolongation of the war, the increased expenditures of men and means, and the possible foreign interventions which past official errors have brought upon us. Thus will the Union be speedily and glo riously restored.— A'eio York Ilea rid. FROM NEW ORLEANS. NEW YORK, July 13.—The steamer McClel- Inn and Tradewind bring New Orleans papers of July 4th. Gen. Butler had suspended the functions of the city councils. Bureaus of finance and of streets and landings, consisting of three niem l>ers each, had been appointed, among whom the duties of councils are divided. Provisions, vegetables and fruit are now freely allowed to come to the city by vessels. Two men, named Fidel Keller and John W. Anderson, were sent to Ship Island for confine ment with hard labor, for having exhibited bones, alleged to be those of Yankee soldiers, fashion ed into personal ornaments. A Mrs. Phillips, who laughed at and mocked the remains of Lioutenant Dekny, during the passage of the funeral procession, was also imprisoned at Ship Island. A military celebration was to take place on- Independence Day. WASHINGTON, July 12. —The Senate has pass ed the confiscation bill, as agreed to by the House of Representatives. Only two Republi cans—Browning of Illinois and Cowan of Penn sylvania—voted against it. Senator Collaraer, of Vermont, did not vote. The bill now re quires only the signature of the President to be come a law. ifeyCongress has passed an appropriation of $12,000 to send Commissioners or Ministers to Hayti ami Liberia; but nothing for the maimed and mutilated soldiers. | FROM RICHMOND Rebel Accounls of Ihe late Battle.
