Thirty Mfillions Voted by the House forthe Pay of the Army. Indications .of Important Changes in ‘the Cabinet. Rupposed Object of the French Minister's Visit to Richmond, &., Bln &e. ‘Wasmmxetow, April 16, 1862. MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT APPROVING THE BILL EMANCIPATING SLAVES IN THE DISTRICT OF OOLUMBIA. Pacow Crane or tus Senate ap Hovss gp RevRevents- TIvVEs— ‘The act entitled “an act for the release of certain per- @ans held to service or labor in the District of Columbia” Qas this day been approved and signed. Tbawe never doubted the constitutional authority of Congress to abolish slavery im this District, and I have ever desired to sce the national capital freed from the imetitution in some satisfactory way. Hence there has never-beenin my mind any question upon the subject, except the ope of expediency, arising.in view of al! the cireamstances. If there be matters within and aboug ‘this act which might have taken a course or shape more satisfactory tomy judgment, I do not attempt to specify ‘them. Iam gratified that the two principles of compen- sation and coloniz@tion are both recognized and practi- cally applied in the act. In the matter of compensation, it is provided that cer- tain claims may be presented wtihin ninety days from ‘the passage of the act, but not thereafter, and there is @aving for minors, femes covert, insane or absent per- sous. I presume there is an omission, by mere over sight, and I recommend that it be supplied by an amend atory or supplemental act. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Wasnmeron, April 16, 1862. F APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSLOVERS UNDER THE EM&N- CIPATION ACT. ‘The President to-day nominated to the Senate James G. Berret, ex-Mayor of Washington; Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, of Ohio, and Daniel R, Goodloe, formerly of North Carolina, Commissioners under the act fer the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, whose duty is to investigate and determine the validity and value of the claims presentod. Jn the selection of the Commissioners provided for in the District of Columbia Emancipation bill, it was unques- thonably intended te choose a commission that would deal fairly between the government and the claimants for compensation for liberated slaves. James G. Berret, ex Mayor of Washington, and for some time a political Prisoner at Fort Lafayette, is a native of one of the Bouthern counties of Maryland,and a strong pro-slavery man. Samuel F, Vinton, ex-member of Congress from Ohio, hag resided for afew years in this city. He hasa high reputation for probity, and is regarded as eminently conservative, Daniel R. Goodloe, although ‘a native of ‘North Carolina, is esteemed the most ultra anti-slavery advocate in the commission. He was formerly associ Sted with Gamaliel Bailey in the publication of the Na. ‘ional Era, the first abolition organ published in Wash- a Vv Vv. EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. ‘The President’s Message, accompanying his sig- mature of the Emancipation Dill, has greatly dis- @ppointed the conservative’ men in Congress. It ‘es regarded as an unwilling consent to a measure ef seriously doubtful expedioncy under exist tng circumstances. The border State men are much depressed at the prospect of an unfavorable result trom the adoption of this measure“upon their Union-loving soustituents, The adoption of the District Emancipation Dill is understood to be only the first step of the radicals im Congroas to push the agitation of the slavery question fo the utmost extreme. It is their intention, to use their own language, ‘to strike a fatal blow at the insti- ‘tution, and to follow up this measure with every other conceivable device, and at whatever cost to the country or danger to the Union.” The recent speech of Car! Shurz is pronounced an authoritative annunciation oi the whole abolition programme. PROBABLE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE CABINET. ‘There are strong indications of important changes in the Cabinet within a few days. OBJECT OF THE FRENCH MINISTER’S VISIT TO NORFOLK, It has been announced that Count Mercier, the French ‘Minister, was at Fortress Monroe, and expected to pre- eeed to Norfolk and thence so Richmond. ‘The French government owns a very large quantity of tobacco, that ‘was stored at Richmond at the breaking out of the rebel- Bon, and the object of the Minister in visiting Richmond ‘mow is understood to be to look after this property. THAMES OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT TO THE PARTI- CIPANTS IN THE VICTORY AT ISLAND NO. 10. ‘The following letter of thanks bas been issued from ‘the Navy Department, addressed to Flag Officer Foote — Navy Deranrmert, April 12, 1962. Sm—The department desires to convey to the Com- mander, Henry Walke, and the officers and mon of the Carondelet, also to A: First Master Hoel, of the Cincin. Bsti, who volunteered for the cocasiun, ita thonks fer the gallant and successful service rendered in run- ‘Bing the Carondelet past the rebel batteries on the ‘night of the 4th inst, Iwas « daring and heroic act, weil executed and deserving of special recogaiti n. Commendation is aiso to be extended to the oticers and ‘erew of the Pittsburg, who in like manner on the night of ‘the 7th inst. performed a similar service. These fearless acts dismayed the enemy, enabled the army under Gen Pope to cross the Mississippi; and evenuated in the sur. render to yourselfof Island No. 10, and finally to the eapture by Gen. Pope of the fort on the Tennessee shore and the retreating rebels under Gen. Mackall. 1 would also, in this connection render the acknowledge- ments which are justly due the officers and crew of the several boats, who, in conjunction with a detachmentof the Forty-seound Iilinvis regiment under Colonel Roberts, captured the first rebel battery and spiked the guns ou Island No. 100n the night of the Ist inst. Such services ‘are duly appreciated by the department, which extends © allwho participated in the achievement. Iam, re apectfully, your obedient servant. GIDEON WELLES. ‘THE CONTROVERSY RELATIVE TO THE CASE OF GEN. STONE. A little war seems unavoidable bet the frienda of GencrahStone and the satellites of Senator Sumner, It ie boldly asserted that if the General should be allowed « ‘rial it will be proved there was no just ground for the summary proceedings in his case, but that his arrest was canned exclusively by Senator Sumner, and is at- tributeble solely to bis animosity towards the General on Sccount of the letter of the latter in reply to Sumner's eseault vpon him. SEXATOR M'DOUGALL. axD THE RADICALA, Senator McDougall is expected to make another epeech in the Senate to-morrow, in which he will redouble his ‘efforts to flay the Searetary of War aud tho radical agi favors. THE PRESS CENSORSHIP. Congress bas at lant began to take notice of the cenear- whip exercised ever the press. There are indications that it will be either speedily abolished or essentially modified. ‘ EXTENSION OP MAIL FACILITIES. The Post Office Departinent is rapidly extending the mai facilities into the recovered Southern territory. Several oMices in Virginia, among tham Waterford and ‘Leesburg, in addition to those already mentioned, have Peon revived, e AN EXPFRIMENTAL IRON-CLAD BATTERY. yA number of carpenters at the Navy Yard, under Moa ter Carpenter Talbott, are busily engaged in getting out the frainework for an experimental iron-clad battery, which fas been designod by Constructor Pooky at the Ansiancd of Captain [Dahigren. The battery will consist of heavy tabers, eighteen inches square, firmly braced together, which wl) be covered with wrought iron plates: four and a half inches thick. It will be erected about two hundred yaply (row the shore, and, when finished, | itm qualities will be fully tested by the heavy guns in the battery on the wharf. PROPOSALS FOR IRON-CLAD BATTERIES ON THE MONITOR PLAN, Tho Navy Departiuent bas invited proposals by mai! or telegraph te the 30th inst,, at noon, with geveral Specifications amd plans, for the construction of one or ‘more up to four iron gunboats-for the Mississippi river and Gulf service, with two turrets, on the plan of the Ericsson turrets, for eleven-inch guns; the thickness of the irom of which to be eight inches; the sides to be plated with tron of three inches thickness in one or two dayers, to extend around half @ foot below the load line; the vessels not to be less than 280 feet in length, and fifty-six feet in breadth, and mot to draw over six feet of water, when loaded and ready for service; to be propelled by screws, to insure @ speed of nine knots or sea miles through the watcr per our, and state time and price. | THE YAVAL OPEBATION ON THE WESTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA, ‘The credit of the late naval operations en the Western shore of Virginia belongs to the revenue cutter service under the control of Secretary Chase. During the last summer the steamers Reliance , Hercules and Tiger were purchased by Mr. Chase, with which and two sailing cutters, under hie direction, rebel mails and com- munications have been entirely prevented, These vessels also rendered most.efficient service in the cap- ture of the two eastern counties of Virginia, and have given ether evidence of the growing.efficiency of an im- portant arm ef the public service heretofore grosely neglected. REDEMPTION OF TREASURY CERTIFICATES. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury, it is said, has decided to redeem twenty per cent in cash of the certificates of indebtedness issued before the 7th inst. It is thought he will reecive forty per cent additional of these certifi. cates in payment of the bonds he may thereafter sell. THE DEFEAT OF THE REBELS IN NEW MEXICO. ‘The report copied from Southern papers that Colonel Canby had surrendered Fort Craig and his entire force is untrue. Later advices from that vicinity have been received at the War Department, and are to the effect that Colonel Canby has obtained @ success over the enemy, and is now im pursuit. THE REDUCTION OF FORT PULASKI. It appears by an offieiai report 40 the Secretary of War that the large guns for the batteries against Fort Pulaski were hauled by the men with their own hands a conside- rable distance through a deep swamp, that being the only mode by which thoy could be transported and placed in position, A report of the 7th of April stated that the fire would be opened on the 11th. The fort was captured on that day. VisiT OF THE WAR COMMITTEE TO BULL RUN AND MANASSAS. Some of the Committee on the Conduct of the War visit Bull run and Manassas to-morrow; but they do not ex- pect while there to witness with their own eyes the atrocities practiced by the barbarian rebels upon the bodies of Union soldiers, as was stated yesterday bya correspondent of a New York journal. THE BANKRUPT BILL. Numbers of petitions are continually pouring inte both houses ia favor of a bankrupt law ; but petitions are of no avail without energetic action. CONDITION OF THE GRAVE OF WASHINGTON. ‘A large party visited Mount Vernon to-day, and were gratified by the improved appearance of the grounds and buildings, also to find that no sacrilege has been com mitted upon the repository of the remains of Washing- ton. The mansion has been repaired and repainted, also the houses formerly occupied by the slaves upon the plantation. The grounds are clothed with rich verdure, the fruit trees are full of blosgoms,and the peaceful aspect of the domain contrasts strangely with the war spirit abroad in the land. Pilgrims can visit without molestation the shrine of the patriot, and their numbers will Increase now that the season is unfolding the natural beauties of this romantic spot. POSTAGE TO UTAH. ‘As Utah is not, under official constraction, on the Pacific coast, letters from the East, and toand from that Ter- ritory, ave charged with only the three cent rate of postage. m IMPORTAN?

STONE. ‘The rerolution calling for information relating to the arrest of Brigadier Geueral Stone was taken up, . MoDovcats, (opp.) of Cal., addressed the Senate against the adoption Mr. Wilson's substitute for his resolutien, and proceeded to say that something had, been learned from the discussion aside from public ru mor, for at least one fact had been developed—that an ion, @ committes, had taken testimony in Gen, ase, and laid it before the Executive, which led arrest. He thought that American Senators, men who form the history of the government, had fafen low when they descended to police service; and he thought they bad better go throughout the country ns detectives, looking up thieves and robbers, or act as magistrates, meely examining and committing for another term, He denownced the manner in these investigating commitiess went throughout country hunting up evidence ne unworthy of leg!

"Ho stated that no confiscation had been adopted by any nation for seven centuries. Mr. TREMBULL, (rep.) of LL, inquired if the Senator did not Know that the co'dnies of this country passed laws forfeiting the property of disloyalists. Mr. Powsut replied that he was aware that fome of them bad done so, but that course led to the very clause in the federal constitution providing that under this gov- ‘ernment no one should be deprived of his property with- out due process of law. Mr. Taomuit said he only desired to show that there was a mistake in the Senator’s remark that there had ‘been no © niiseation for seven centuries.

He would prefer that they march up to the great work specdily and free all the slaves atonce. It would be more manly than the manner proposed by the bill. He regarded the colonization clause as of no ac- count whatever. Every one knew that the negro, when freed, would remain just where he bad been le‘t unless compulsorily removed, and it was only intended to get votes that.could not be otherwise obtained, It would be hard to mak utherti man believe that interference with slavery was not intended in spite of gencral declarations when they passed a resolution to induce States to emancipation, had abolished slavery in this district, had repealed disqualifications of color for carrying the majis, and had adopted an article of war prohibiting these in military service from delivering fugitive slaves, There wasa great complaint if one negro was returned to his master; but the military might take off hundreds, and there was no complaint, though they may be taken from loyal masters, Under thy Di!l any lieutenant or petty magistrate was empower- ed to take possession of all property of 6,000,000 of people. No dictator of Rome ever had such power. He loved the Union, but he loved it for its constitutional liberty. What was to him or others who loved liberty an empire ocean bounded, comprising this whole continent, without the constitution of the republic, which endowed them with its privileges and was the shield of their rights? Mr. Powell denied the powers claimed for the Executive uncer the war power, by which the will of the President rather than the consti- tution became law, and ander which Congrobe might be visited as was Parliament by Cromwell, aud as the French Cor's Legisiatit was by Nap leon. The danger of the ext of this assumption of the war power was striking- ly shown in the course of the military commander, Gene- ral Halleck, who, in spite of the constitution of that Siate defining the quatiications of votera, had imyosed, by military order, other requirements in the recent election, ‘The manner in which General Halleck had levied contri- butions upon the inhabitants was alluded to, which, if it could be dove in one place, could be in another, and rights, property and liberty overthrown everywhere, Ho commented at some length on martial law ‘and its role, and argued against jt, and denounce: as illegal and uneonstitutional the arrests that haye been made.

DISCHARGE OF CONTRACTORS.

Mr. Monmut1., (rep.) of Vt., from the “ommittee of Ways and Means, reported a bill enpropriating thirty millions deficiency fur payment of two and three years’ volun- teers,andeaid that the Secretary of War was anxious to have it passed to-day. Mr. Vattaxmicnam, (opp.) of Obio, objected, unless it should go to the Committee of the Whote. ‘The bill was 90 referred, and the House went into com- mittee to consider it, limiting debate on it to thirty minutes. Mr. Mornrit explained that the necessity for the Dill arose from the fact that the estimates and appropria- tions had been made on a basis of an army of half a miilion men, whereas there were between six and seven bundred thousand employed. Mr. Vatianmonam remarked that the War Department had reported only four hundred and rixteen thousand two hundred and forty-nine men on the muster rolls, and asked how many more than the haif million authorized be ter aeryed actually mustered into service? far desired to know how many were actually in servioe south of Mason and Dixon's line, and how many in camp in the Northera and Western states ? ‘Mr. Moanii—The communications from the War De- partment will explain. Mr. VaLtanpraHaM—Does the gentleman know the ac- tua! number enlisted? Mr. Mont had no official information on the subject. The last Secretary of War had reported between six and seven hundred thousand. Mr. VatLaxpicnam—I make the inquiry because it has been reported that troops have been nominally raised and enlisted, and rations and pay drawn for men who were not in service at all. Mr. Covone, (rep.) of Pa—I learned from the Seere- tary of War that the number in service is five: hundred and seventy-two thoueand, Mr. Vartanpiomay—Then this thirty millions is te cover the pay of seventy-two thousand men. Mr. Covope—Twenty millions is for that purpose, and ten millions for transportation and other incidental ex- penses of enlistment and bringing men into the fleld. Mr. Dawns, (rep.) of Mass., inquired from Mr. Govode whether it como to his knowledge that there were in different parta of the country skeleton regiments, only fuil in regard to officers, and béggarly poor in rank and file—that, in fact, there were regiments consisting only of officers, who drew their pay with stogular regularity? He wanted some information as to where this thirty millions was to go. Mr. Covone repeated that he had seen a table showi the number of mon from each State, and so far as Pent sylvania was concerned it was correct. The nggregat umber was five hundred and an two thousand, ns Mr. Vautaxpronam—I ha: do not vouch for the fact, tl deficiency, but a Mr. Buair, (rep. the gentleman shall give the name of the person on whose authority he makes that statement. Mr. Covoon echoed the demand, adding that whon a gentleman came here to cast difficulties in the way of the administration, he should state the authority on which the charge is made. When a man, said he, is in the habit of using language in the Honse of Representatives which, if not treason, comes very near it, he should give his ity. authority. Mr. VaiLanmonam insisted on the floor, and said, if stealing is. part of the business of the administration, ‘and if it is treason to inquire in reference to it, then you may call |} 60; it is the only treason I have been guilty of. When did that become treason?

Mr. Covonn—I deny the truth of the assertion, and cal for the evidence. Mr. VaLLanoraaam—It is well Known that the mee: of the Treasury has ‘to Pennsylvania to confer wit! the late Secretary of War, and the rumor is that he has there in reference to this very defaication.

Mr. VatLanpiGnam—Enough has been disclosed by in- Vestigating committoes of atrocious frauds and pecula- -tious by the War Department to justify me in referring to charges or rumors of this character. It will not do for friewds of the ex-Secretary of War to put on the garb of virtuous indiguation when such charges are aluded to, after the mass of damning evidence accumulated by one of the committees of this House. Mr. Biaix—This biil can have nothing to do with that. It is rendered necessary by the excess in the number of men in service over what was estimated for. Mr. VattanpiGHAM—I have not critcised, as I have a right 10 do, and would do under ordimary circumstances, the act of the administration im cating out more troops were authorized.

There are (s in my own district, organized eight or nine months sgo, which still contaim less than halt the number red, aud whose officers have been regularly paid. Ido not propose to go into an inves'igation of acts of the administration on subject. They have the responsibilty of this war upon them, Let them take ail the men they choose and all the money that Congress appropriates to on this war, and see what can be made of it; but when it comes to @ question of honesty in the application of the mouey, I have the samo rights as apy other member, Mr. Bia undertook to that such a state of facts a8 was represented by Mr. ea could not exist in the volunteer force. Mr. V. about the Nineteenth regi- ment? Mr. Bram—I am speaking of volunteer regiments. The regular regiments are organized on an entirely dil- ferent principle. Ali possible evidence of the correct- ness of the returns is supplied in the muster rolls and pay rolis, which are sworn to. the gentleman from Massachusetts can invent any scheme to make men honest and prevent them from swearing falsely, he will do what all others have failed to do, Mr. Dawes would suggest this plan—that the depart- ment which sought an appropriation should give full in- formacion as to ite expenditure, There were officers hero in Washington whose regimeuts the Lord knew better where they were than they did. They were here looking after the pay rolls, and seeing if there were any particular appropriations they shouid be the first in. The mex who ot the first drafts on the Treasury are those who do the st fighting. And now I want my friend from Pennsyl- vania to say-how much time he spent in investigating the fact, whether that beautiful table which he saw shows the actual number of soldiers in the service? 1 understood him to say that, e far as Pennsylvania is concerned, the table was strictly accurate, Ido not doubt that. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM—O, no; nobody doubts that. (Laughter.) Mr. Covonr attempted to reply, but Mr.-Vallandigham refused to yield the flour, Hy yielded it, bowever, to Mr. Ubsit, (rep.) of N. Y., who asked to have the let- tere from the Secretary of War and the Payruastor Gene- read, The letters were read. Tho Secretary saya that the number of volunteers in the service is believed to be nearly seven hundred thousand, and that by reason of this increasod force the whole a)propriation for the pay- ment of volunteers would be exhausted by the 13th of this month.

A Carther debate occurred, during which Mr. Varzax- picHax said he did not impeach the integrity of Secretary Stanton, and had never heard against hima breath of suspicion; but he denied the principle that any man’s honesty should be used as a screen against investigation and an absolute estoppel of all inquiry.

The news from the republic of Mexico is more or leas important. Admiral La Graviere has beon recalled by bis government, and the French troops were about falling back on Chiquihuite, aud it is believed, says correspondent of the Diario d la Marina, that the Spaniards would imitate tie back, ward movement of their Alles. Since it was stipulated at Soledad that the French and Spanish were to remain at Tehuacan and Orizaba, unless actual war should be resolved upon, this threatened retrograde movement must be regarded as warlike, and we are informed that it has been caused by the murder of @ Spanish officer, who was lassoed by some guerilla, dragged intoa wood and beheaded. The near approach, however, of the 15th instant, the day appointed for the final conference, in- —— the French and Spanish commanders to wait a little niger. \am sorry tohave to relate another of those terrible consequences of civil war which are unfortunately too common in Mexico, General Dom Manuel Robles y Pezu- ia, Minister of War under the administration of Gene- ral Arista, and subsequeatly Minister Plenipotentiary at Waghivg:on, where he was universally esteemed, was a tod on the 21st ult. near Tehuacan by a detachment of roment troops, taken to the town of San Andres Chaichicomula, the scene of the late terrible disaster, aud (here executed on the 34th, In conformity with the Jaw of the 25th of last January. He died like a brave ‘with the serenity and valor of a sol'ier and a Christian,” says the Ecode Europa of the 26th. Gen. Prim and Sir Charles Wyke made every effert to save the unfortunate gontleman,. The Minister of War, Gen. Yaragoza, being in Ocizaba with othorsof the Cabinet, he was besieged by them and the Mexican Minis- ters of Justice and the jury, until he yielded to their request and granted a respite, which |. Prim sealed and despatched by a courier; but whether owing to the bad roads or that he lost bis way, or # determina- tion that the oxecution should take place, the courier ar- rived five houre after Gen. Pezuela ceased to live. Some say nothing positive was alleged against him, that he Was not @ reactionary in politics, ayd was on his way to Vera Cruz to embark for Europe. Others say there was proof that he was in league with the monarchicai party, and was going to Europe to aid their designs. The Heraido ot the capital, March 23, gives the following short version — liay before ay the government was informed that Don Manuel Robles y Vezuela, had been app.e- heuded while on ais way, it appears, to join the foreign forces. Oue of the men who accompanied him escaped. ‘The General, we understond, had been exikd to Lower California. ‘We have been asgured that the supremo go- verhment sent yesterday the requisite order to com- anuer in-chief Zaragoza to comply with the order of January 25, ast past. ‘An‘ther ‘speck of trouble has been caused by the presence of General Almonte, Sr. Haro y Tamariz and others, i the French camp, The Mexican govern- ment protested, and the French plenipotentiary replied that he would not compel those per- sons to leave. Sines then, however, they haye have left o their own accord, and are now at Vera Cruz ‘Almonte had issued a proclamation advocating a mo narchy, with a copy of which the public here has not yet heen favored, and consequentiy I cannot forward it for the present. Geaeral Count Lorencey reached Cordova on the 231, and the foliowing day a battalion of French chas-eurs arrived. The French General was received and enter- tained by the Count de Reus, as Prim loves to call him- veif, The Spanish correspondents represent the greatest harmony prevailing between the ailicd plenipotentiaries, and that every thing promises a satifactory conclusion. The Beo de ‘Earope, of the 26th ult., gives the following account of au event which will be read with interest:— Some ume in February last, the United States steamer Potomac arrive at Vera Cruz, and the Commander, find- ing three foreign flags flying over the city and castie, was cous lerably puzzl d as to how he should give the salute customary on entering & oer sg bane finally con- chided to cmit it altogether, is Circumstance gave ise to a great deal of comment, and some considered it fn intentional insult and hostile demonstration on the part of the United States towards the Allies. A few das afterwaras the Captain of the Potomac called on Gene- 1a) Prim, who received him with marked courtesy , and invited him to dine with him on the follow- ing day. The captain accepted and presented himself next day at the appointed hour. The dinner was bril- Hiant, if a dinner could be quatified by such an adjective. ‘The company was distinguished, for there were present the allied representatives and a host of army and navy Ofticers of bigh rank. The wine circulated and tongues were loosened. Tvasts were given and responded to in the usual after dinner style. This part of the ceremon; hat apparently conch for crowned heads and Presi- dents, Generais and Admirals had been drank to, and every toast proper to the day and occasion given but one, and that one was remembered by the t Prim. ‘All but he and the Captain of the Potomac had forgotten meg it was the 22d of February.

His mcmory is dear, not only to the great people who owe to him their existence, but to the en- tire human race. His name is a name of blessing, not only in the country which gave him birth, but wherever throbs a generous heart. It is right, then, that we should drink to his memory, since a fortunate accident has brought us here together on the anniversary of his birth. I drink, gentlemen, to the memory of Wash- ton, me United States officer waa deeply moved. “I had thought,” he said, “that no one here but | had remem. ered the day; but since you also, General, have remem- bered it, I can only say thanks, a tl thanks.” If ever a man felt ‘tified I am sure it was that Cap- tain, whose name I do not know.
