(I.w. ✓. C. Breekinridgo, Secretary of War:
Gc u. Bragg reports that be attacked the enemy
yesterday, four miles In front of Kingston, sod
drove him from his ppsitian. He disputed the
ground obstinately, and took up a new lira three
miles from his first one. We captured three
tiecee of artillery, and 1,500 prisoners. The
number of the enema killed and wounded, wlto
were left on the field, is large. Ours le compar
atively small. The troops behaved moat hand.
comely, and Mal. Gen. Hill and Hoke exhibited
their usual zeal and energy.
Signed] R. E. Lvt
ingstes, near which the fight occurred Es tit
.1 on the direct route from Goldsboro to New
born, le about twenty miles east of Goldboro,
and about thirty miles from Newbern. It If sup
pbec4 that this forcebf the enemy won advanc
ing font NcW ben; against Goldsboro fur the pm - -
lose of cutting the railroad at that point. It, is
Lot - likely after this repulse that the enemy will
attempt to advance, and It is likely that we shall
r.cit hear of them falling back on New tern, or
that - 411'1g their course to some other point of the
comps's.
Tdds movement of the enemy was evidently
dean...nod to be romperative with Sherman, and
In thin light and•-in this Junction It may be of
great value to us ha embarassing the mavempta
of Sherman.
New Yong, March 12.—1 n the debate on the •
Lill th arm tont oes. Mr. Hunter said that as he
bad been Instructed by the Virginia Legislature
to rote against his conviction, It was proper he
*horrid give his opinions.. When we left the old
government Iterthought we had gotten, rid for
ever of slavery agitation; that we were entering
into a new confederacy where the 'agitation of
the slavery, question, which had become intolcr•
able under the old Union, was to' have no place..
To his surprise be Duds thisstotenneent assumes
the ismer to arm slaves, which Involves
alto- the power of emancipation. To the
*Marion of the quottlon of -Abe &swamp.
doh of this power he dated the origin of
the gloom !which now_ overspreads the people.
They know that four liberties were to be
achieved, It was to be done by the hearts and
bands of free men. It also Injured as abroad. It
we. regarded as a confession of dmpehLand the
nt'uudoutneet or the grerund upon which, we
eu.tt.d from the old Helen, We had Instated
that Congress had no right to Interfere with ale-
v.,y. We alma *conttesded that wherever two
Tares wet e thrown together, one must be master
nod the other slam; and we !Indicated of vises
egainet the atensationa of abolitionists by ALF
Op ling that slavery was the best tout happiest
condition of the negroes, This :proposition
admits the right of the central government to put
the slaves Into the militia, and to emaaeltiste so
Sohn, as • shall be plated In the mll
- service, and it Is' a Clear .clatat of the
• ondral government to emancipate slaves
It we are right In passing this melanin, we
were wrong In denying to the old Government
the right to interfete wi di the Institution of
slavery, and to emancipate slaves. Valdes, if we
offer slaves their freedom, we confess that we
were insincere in asserting that slavery-was the
br t state for nemoeis. He had been sincere, In
sletbvirg that the Central Government had -no
power over the hunittulon of slimsty, and that
frtedotn would be no boon to the negro.,
believed that arming and emancipating sieges
was the abandonment of tlds' canton, end the
grounds on which u. rag undertaken. liot for
all the gold In Cahn:male would he have Mit his
name to snob a measure unless °bilged to do; ty
by int-tructious. - - -
3ir. Hunter aramed, the necessity of freetog
the ILITTOf9 if they were made soldiers. Some
thing in the human bout tells es that whoa
they mare out smiled Tram conflict they must
be free.- - If we could . make them soldiers be
could make them officers perhaps to coratatMd- ,
white men.
Mr. Graham opposed aloha He censtdered
the adoption of the measure as the actual
abandonment Of the riaMples at the mutest,
end protested agaltist the right - of the 'MVOs
Legislature to inetruct Senators after the Is ;
lure Jelibuialon of the Ewaate.
Mr. Semmeasdrotatel the bill as e neeesally.
and said It was urged by Gen Lee, and the, con
sequences-which would follow would not ,be 'so
bad as represented.
The Enquires; commenting on the , passusge of
the negro etaistir.ent Mil,• nays: "The influence
upon slavery Is mare of apprehentrefiThan real

ClTi AND
The Alleg,heny \Vater Qttentloa
Citizens and Coat:cameo havi hew alike exer
cised, in our sister city, for 00.10 weeks p Ist,
on the Subject of the City. t Wat.e.g* Works. A
. l
very wide difference of opin ion . scrim CO eetat,
upon the question of the ablilts oC the present
works to suppLy the city with an abundance of
water. Cehemlfteed of competent ntecleMirs
have been apriuted to exile:duo the works, and
elaborate and scientiflie reports have been Made
with reference, to the 1141rg capagity of the
pumps, and the 'poWer Of the engine/3'C* drive
the same. Even "doctors will differ," nod we
.
have one set of scientific gentlemen demonstrat
ing tbat the viorics arc amply sufficient for years
to come,' and another proving, by figures "which -
cannot
cannot Ile," the absolute inability of the works.
But these mathematical problems, involving
the cubic contents of metal cylinders, and the
gravity did friction oteolumni of water, do not
keep the city hydrants cupping. The people
grumble a little at advancing the water rents
in - may-five per cent, but absolutely grow mu
tir ous ut the prolonged scarcity of water.
'Allegheny tifater, Works, on
!Saturday, to:meertain Awhile:Alves the cause of
the scarcity of water, end furnish the results of
ear inquiries, for the information of our readers.
Weetated in the G . a.lette, some two montho ago,
that the difficulty was In'obtaining a unfilelent
supply of water for the pumps, rather than from
any,lncapaclty. of the machinery to throw
enough Into The basin. Such we find to bestlii
the case. The male, supply pipe is 24 Inches in
diameter, and extehda-some 200 feet Into the
river; there is an elbow at the outer extremity,
from which the pipe emends down the river
some lb feet. This elbow Is perforated with
.holes about j;; of an inch in size; through which
the water passes into the supply pipe, and by
force of gravity runs into the well at the pumps.
Now snpposing the four 13 inch pumps, double
acting, S feet stroke, with which the water is
fenced up into the basin, to be'running at the
ordinary, speed of ten strokes to, the minute,
experience proves that Water I) pupped Into the
basin fastsr than the public necessities demand,
as the engines aro only ran 'about sixteen hours
each twexty four. Bat ihen a sudden rise
takes place in the river, aceompanied by float
ing lee and other 'debris, the strong current or
dranght through the perforation. In the main
supply title, caused by 'the exhaustion of water.
in the pump well, attracts this floating Ice and
d. brie its thu openings in the supply pipe, and
the result Is a partial stoppage In the supply, and
nu inererse It, the suction through the unob
structed openings. Like many other evils, this
Is selfaccravatlng ; and the result is that the
pertoratcd main pipe la:comet; so entirely coated
n hit debris as to canes a stoppage of the Cu.
-tud for Ise of power, but for ;want of
'etch is the cx donation of the • present, and
1 the lute difectuties at the Adlegteey Water
Works. A temporary remedy . it. to go out in a
bCat, and serape (dear the supply pipe—at pre , -
cat = temp sixteen feet nuttier water, and In a
*Meng current.
What will be a permanent remedy I This is
what the water committee art endeavoring its
deride. The most practical sugestlon which
we have Muni is this let the ('inter Commie •
siLnera, appointed order a recent act of the
legislature, prepare plans for au addition to the
preccm Water Works, based on the prospective
Iltheitiltfell of the city; let this plan be submit
ted to Count-Us for approvaloot required by the
said 11 , 4, authotito the Commissiontrs to
prr,eat, at the earliest possible period to ex,
carats tottise pomp well; and mall up the same,
nod lay an additional supply pipe from this new
vn II Into ibe river, of approved 'dimensions, and
sc.th the best arranged tittering appara'as which
is petit net ran sn,c4e_st. We would then connect
thus supply, I.lpe with the pre:scat pampa, and
ties gain an ample supply of water. If the
prt scat machlutry is eapaide of lifting enough
Into the hash*, to supply 'the citizens, ho
addithatal cpulitet or pumps would be necessary ;
' if &A, the foundation would be ready for ad
ditional power, as soon as the same could be
Ily this method, no expense would be Incurred - 1
which 111 not aleelutely at-reeler) , ; and the Ira
, vestment, so far as It abarLbe made, will tie
available, when the necessity for an Increased
pumping faixu is demonstrated.
In this conzection we migin State that some
remarks on this. subject, In a contemporary,
seem to bate bees - written without information
on the subject. The rrer,iit machinery at the
".iVatcr.Werksjs not materially but of order, and
he-WaterVomadttess Connellat no for ea ■,re
know, hare done and MS 40:11g all that is pea,
slide, to remedy the mil. as 'bore stated. The'
advent of tising, and a low and eltai Ayer, are
neeessary, before any labor can be done at laving
supply pipe-- Neither the committee, their MM.

Mae of the rarer and wen er are favorable.
The questleethethre Connell* n no wino affects.
the present difficulty ; the re now pending ,
action are theoretical, lure is tineetkms to
inerininics. merely'. .
It Is to bol.oped that the artiest is the last
break up of the Allegheny, for this 'piing. As
the spring floods abate, and the river becomes
free num floatlog Ice, etc., the present &Mad
ties will cease. The pumps at the works were
entirely stopped from Friday wall Satnrdiy
morning, owing. to obstractiOes at the soppy
pipo. tin Saturday moroing the pipet RCM
cleared, and the mince started. We hope ere
this In read. the hydrants of Allegheny will

General.
Amens= GENalteL'e Orrice, Feb. 2; 1863.
Sir : In your Miter or the 28th of January, you
ask my opinion on the legal points presented in
the letter of Govcre.or A. O. Cortin, to you, of
date, the 25th of .f itnary,
Governor CuttirOs letter is in relation to the
construetion of the Act of Congress, approved 3d
or March,: 1883, commonly called the Enrollment
Act, • De Insists
-14. That tho word, "period of sen ice," sines
the commencement of the rebellion; as used In
12th the section of the Act, do not require the
l'resideat; In 'assigning the quotas to the several
States, to take Into consideration the whole
term of enlistment of the volunteer and militia
man ; and
2,1. That that part of the. Act of the SJ Of
March, 1803, which makes the period of service
en clement In the calculation necessary to de
termine the number of men due from a State,
district, county, or town, has been repealed by
the 211,acetton of the Act amendatory of tha .
Enrollment Act, approved ` 34t ` 34th,4 of Februror3',
P!414.
It will be more convenient to consider these
qeestions in the reverse order, Inasmuch as if It
shall be found that the repeal has been made,
as contended for, the first point made by the
Governor nerd not be considered:
ThB great objecti of the Enrollment Act are
let. To declare who shall constitute the na
tional forces ; and '
..3d. To organize a plan bjwltich the national
force., can be made available.
Subordinate to the purpose of raising and or
modring the national forces, the Platt adopted
bi . Congress shows a desire that the draft upon
the Indasti MI population of the several States,
and the communities thereof, should be comet
lad a. to arty as practicable.
By the 4th section of the Act - of the 3d of
March, ISIS, the tinned States is divided into
districts, of which the District of Columbia
than constitute one, each Territory of the United
Staice shall constitute one or mere, as the Pres
ident shall direct, and each Congressional Dia
ti ice of the respective States. as fixed by a law
of the. State next preceding the enrollment, shall
coollt ate one. The Bth sto.llon provideo, that
them shall be a Board of Enrollment in each
District. By the 6th section, It Is provided.,
they If the-Board of Enrollment shut/ deum It
nt cessary„ a District maY be divided into two,
and, with the assent of the Secretary of war,
into any meets r number of soh-dOrisions.
By t he rith section, it is made the duty of the
Prtsldent, In assigning to the Districts the num
ber. of men to be furnished therefrom, to take
Into ethasidersalory the number of volunteers and
within furnished by and from the permit States
iu o hlehoald districts are situated, and the
totted of their service since the coMmencement
of the present rebellion ; and shall an make said
assignment as to equalize the numbers; among
tlk Districts of the several States, considering
add allowing for the numbers already furnished.
as aforesaid, and the tinotof their service.
It Ili evident, from the face of this act, that the
et, end States and Districts had furnished a num
lor of volunteers and militia, and for periods - o 1
' smoke._ The prat duty of the Posithlent: was to '
have the national forces enrolled; hia next duty;
was to ascertain what number of volunteers and
militia had been furnished from the Several States'.
',nut the periods of their service since the cam

memo:Bent. of the . present rebellion; and then,
{from what Districts in the several States they
came, that ha might equalize the numbers among
tiledistricta of the soyeraltitates, considering and
_allowing for the numbers already ftirioshed as
- ntbresaol, and the time or their serviee. Duthie the
act of the 2d Mooch,it b pleb that he had no
right nod power to cut up a Matelot Into counties,
townships, precincts orwards, In order to equal.
- Toe the dealt therein. The authority given In tho
9th section to sub-divide a District, was for the
purpose of facilitating or expediting the enrol
meat, and with no reference to equalization. It'
might, and doubtless did happen in many districts;
that. onewelldetined portion of a District, as a
county, township or ward, had throislied greatlf
DIGIT that, the istumber duet:meet : rem, whilst othet
parts tit the same District, equally well 'defined,
hod throbbed ttw or noift. thereby making a
draft upon the District necessary; and yet, under
the Ad, It was not In the pawed of the President
to mate the draft otherwise than equal over the
whole District, This was unjust and mrpres.ive.
In order to correct this pageant hardship and in
jusaire, Congress, tfy tho 2d section of the Act of
24th of February, 1804, and which Is an amend- -
menu of the Act of Bd or 'March;' 1,163, declared ,
that he quota of each_ward of a city, town, town,
ship, precinct or election district, or of a mangy,
.;when Um county Is oce. add Oita° wards, towns,
trivinthips, preclude, to .alectLoa 'dhtectg;
be, as nearly as poaslble, in proportion to the
natither of man resident therein 'labiate military
service, taking into accent as far aspractleable,
the number which has been orericiusly ?banished
therefrom. -
It In earnestly insisted, and most it:wakes - 4y
; argued, that this 24 re/ohm of Ate. an Act
' repeats SO ninth of the 390 s section:of the Act of
the 3d of March, 18041. as makes it the duty of
the President to take lato consideration the pe
riod of service of the volunteers and militia from
the sevd-al States. 'Tito orgament In throe of
the repeal rote wholly upon the words of the
amendatory Act—"the nentber which has ilicen
prevlatoly furnished therefrom." It is Insisted
that "eunaber," as ' , here used, means an arith-,
r . tattiest comet. 1 gamma SO nederatetld
The Act of the id March, 1863, bad prescribed
[. a node by which the number of men due from
the several States, and the Wafting of•the sev
trot States, should be escarialned; and that mode
required, not a simple count, bin a consideration
of tioaperiod of service Of men preciously fur
nishcaL Congress need the word number in -the
2d anthill of the amendaktryAct, underatanding
that the mode of count preseribedin the original
Set would los preserved. ' - •
There are many evldences upon the face:of the
amendatory Art which show that it was not the
Intention of Comae's-to change the mode of coon
preseribed In the orioleal act.
Tile emended Act does not undertake to say
how the quota of ablate or,Dintriet Is to be AA..
certained. In ascertaining what number Is date
hours State or District the President must pur
sue the mode prescribed in the 12th section of
the original Act—he musitake into consideration
the period ofeeniec. and yet, under the construc
tion insisted upon, ;then he comes to eq . nallee
the draft, as authorized to do by the amended
act, in the Districts, be mast be coutrolled by,
simple numbers. It cannot. be that Cougross
Intended ono mode of count for the States and
Districts; and a different and Whollylnconslstent
one for. the snbolivislons of Districts. Inextrica.
hie confusion would mink. ,
Frain the language need T. et various - parts of
the amendatory act, it Is" evident that Congress
did not intend to disturb the: .mode. of eount
prescribed in the original act. For.lostattee, In
the Sib section of the amendatorf act; It Is said
that the *awe, ward, or township, shallbe emitter .
by his irretwo and In the 7th section,- "the
tooled for iMicla ho shall have hem enlisted,.
and "the 'period for which be shall -. hare been
drafted," all going to shbw that time of Scoria)
was bell to be an element In the donde , '
Nor do I think that the argument in _favor of.
the repeal is aided by the language of, the tat
section °idle act, entitled " Au 'act further to
regulate And provide for the tatting out the
national forces," approved 4th of July,' 1804.

years, hie services arts ,dras to the. Government
for that period, and flawing that, period hto oar-

of Wm. The act sp(Oxks as though there was a ,
certain and fined period.for the services of each
man, and yet, If any period or thanls taken,
other than the term Si 'enlistmeat," hi dome
keistem of areragllT or guesses, a Tole mast be
Maid. To do so would violate thecortaluty coif:
teraplaled by the act.
I am, therefore, of the opinion Mot the Presi
dent must, raider the act, glee credit by the
whole period or term for which the mart enlisted.
Whether thhi Is the rule which should hate
been adopted by Congress, whether It does not
°prate unequally, and whether it is exactly
