TDB SECRETARY OF WAR AND rebodiAN [Special Ditipatchea to the Gazette.] PHILADELPHIA, May 5,1862. Parson Brownlow publishes a card In the papers of this city, in which be pronounces the statement of the rebel journals, that his family and that of Mr. Maynard sympathize with the rebels, .a base falsehood. Ile says hie family_are now with him, and they feel that to have escaped with their lives, and part of their clothes, from theaavage beasts of the . Confederacy, a great bleating. • The Inquirer's Baltimore correspondent says the report that France and Spain con templated recognizing the so-called Southern Confederacy, turns out as was anticipated a silly canard, which originated first in Balti more arid then was repeated in Washington. The evacuation. of YOrktown greatly dis heartens the secessionists of Baltimore. The Tribune correspondent rows we have news from Richmond, via Fredericksburg, of importance. The people of the rebel capitol are panic stricken. The wealthy citizens aro packing up their furniture and sending it into the country. A civilian who ham just returned from be fore Yorktown, where he spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and managed to in spect both oar own and the enemy's works from a much nearer point than any corres pondent has ventured, concluded that they were making preparations to evacuate, and that it was utterly impossible for our army to have completed Its works so as to make a general attack for at least three weeks. He says ]also, that it was easy to gather from, every . deserter, white or black, that the rebel army is greatly demoralized. Re adds that some of, ;the officers appear bent upon im pregnating the army with a belief that Con gress is neglecting them, and that it may sometime be their duty to serve it as Crom well served Parliament. The statement In the correspondence (rota the army before Yerktown that the navy has not co-operated with Gen. 'McClellan, as was contemplated at the outset, is without the shadow of a foundation. In fact the nary has at all times been prepared to afford .whaterer assistance was required, and it burns to do more. • Nor is it true that the Secretary of War has interfered with any plan or plans of the Ma jor -General commanding the army DOA in Yorktown. Be did oppose one reveal, but the President graiited it, on the ground that he had promised to do so.

Mr. Stevens, of Pa.,inaile a speech In ad vocacy of the measure, and of immediate Ra tion. One of his remarks elicited the inquiry from Mr. Wickliffe, whether the gentleman was in favor of restoring the Uhion as it.was, or against it. , .Mr: Stevens replied that he was for 'sub duing the rebels, cud inflicting all the conse quences of a victorious warfare on the falleb toe in an upjust war. lie was forcooffecating their property to pay the expenses incurred. Be would reconstruct the Union but with freedom throughout its entire borders. Mr. Wickliffe—Theo- your are against the Union as it was ? Mr. Steveds—Befure that can be restored, you must restoce the ten thousand freemen who have .been sent to death by the murder ers arid. lie could 'never shake bands with bl dy murderers. -- T it previous question wax ordered on the bill which was ordered to-be printed, so that the Ileum might examine into the character of e amendments, and with the understand ing that vote shall be taken on its passage to. orrow at two-o'clock. The, Rouse then adjourned. I Scxxx.--111r. Ilarris, of N. Y., presented a petition in (aver of a generellinnkrupt. Also, a petition asking that equal privileges be al lowed to certain newspapers.

Mr. Wilson, of Mass., from the Committee! on Military Affairs, reported back the bill tii limit the number of - Major:General! and Brig adier-Generate with amendments, making the number of Major-Generals thirty lanced of twenty.

Um 'ascot the Mit because the' first of the public lands sold fo r more th an 'they ' ever cost, and the account tail be .closed with the govern ment without lou. The confiscation bill woe taken up._ Mr. HoWe, of Wisconsin, was in favor .of a confiscation bill, and the punishment of the rebels, but he thought the bill before the Senate was not worth the paper itwas printed on. He contended that we had no authority' to pass such a bill, and ought not to have such authority. There was no Inch power in the Constitution as the bill assumes. It says that certain persona have committed treason, and. if they commit any more they shall be strip ped of their property. Why not thus, con ventionally, take man's property. for,,,any_ ether crime ? The penalty for minus ought: to be visited on the individual Only when con victed of crime. If we could, by legislative act, takeaway a man's property for rebellion, wo might take away his property frit going to camp meeting, if that were decided a crime. He objected to the attempt to execute the pen alty by , legislative act, instead of by the Jugd meat' If a judicial tribunal. The bill, if passed, will punish a great many innocent persons and lot the guilty escape. He thought tho guiltiest person were not included in the bill at all. The Government the it to itself and to the people to punish the leaders of this rebellion, and that is all there is of it. Mr. Poster, of Conn., said there were four bills before the Senate, and substitutes and amendments making thirteen 'propositions, only tea of which have ever been examined by' the Committee. Me was in favor of the bill which will do the mos t to crush out the rebellion. lie contended that, under the bill of the Senator from Illinois, no property is to be seized, except in the opinion of the Presi dent, It will be best to do so. That was cer tainly not as severe as has been claimed against the bill of the Senator from Vermont, (Mr. Collamer), which authorizes the Presi dent to seize and sequester the property of rebels ; sell the perishable property, and hold real estate till judicial proceed bags are restored. Ile continued that the hill of the Senator from Vermont was decidedly the meet strin gent; for, although like the other bill, it was dependant on the will of the President, yet it provides for the taking of all the property of all the rebels. As regards the slaves, the bill of the Senator from Vermont frees all the slaves of the persons convicted of treason, and provides that the President may free the slaves of persons who continue the rebellion after a certain time, but. does gotpropose to touch tho slaves of the loyal men at all. Ile could not believe that under the Constitution we had any power to confiscate the real estate of a rebel longer than life, and did not be lieve the President would undertake to sell real estate under these circittustances, but would hold it for the . benefit of the Govern. meat. The Senate went into Executive session and subsequently adjourned. Arrival of the Northern Light. NEW YORK, May s.—Tho steamer Norlhern Light, from Aspinwall, brings $015,000 In California treasure.
