22) city railroad cars. The little fellow was a newsboy, and standing On the step, in the rear of the car, and was in the act of selling the afternoon papers to gentlemen inside. He was quiet, well Jaehaved, and entirely unwitting of any Jbarm or offence. The driver, seeing him there, dropped reins, and leaving his mule to make its way unheeded, quitted Us jost, and coming stealthily behind the Car, with his heavy whip inflicted several "most severe lashes upon the almost naked back of the unsuspecting child, who had nothing on but a shirt and pantaloons. The boy shrieked and writhed with agony, na no wonder, for the blows were sav agely struck.

The utmost indignation Tras expressed towards the driver, by all the gentlemen who occupied the car, some fix whom could scarcely be restrained from inflicting retributive justice, in kind, Upon the author of this cruel outrage. lHvro-In frm Tarltii Plnt.

We published in full, in yesterday's pit-per, President Lincoln's draft of message which was intended to be a veto on the confiscation bill, but was not a veto, because Congress passed a supplemental explanatory resolution, that satisfied bis scruples, and obtained his signature to the bilL Thia is the paper of which his political supporters in the House prevented the printing, by fighting off the voto until the hour of final adjournment was reached The supplemental resolution which had this effect is appended to the abstract of the bill which bas reached us, in the fol lowing descriptive words This resolution requires that the act ahallbe so construed aa not io aoolv to aav aet done before tb oaaeaea of it. or to nor member of a State Legislature, or Jodir of Stat Court woo aaa not, in accepting omce, sworn support tbe cooatitnrion of th Confederate States, and also thai no punishment or proeedur under it work a forfeiture of real etat beyond the life of th offender. O.f these modifications the only one which was advanced by the President as material, is that which limits the forfeiture of real estate on conviction of trea son, to the life interest of the party convicted. The others may have been sag gested in conversation, but were not thought by the President as of sufficient importance to be put into the message although that paper is a sort of running commentary on the whole bill, section by section, as well on those portions which the President approved, as those to which he objected. "With the exception quoted, the Presi dent's approval of the confiscation clauses of the bill is perfect.

These clauses authorize the seizure and Bale by the President, and the application of the proceeds to the uses of the army and navy, of the whole estate of certain enu merated classes of persons, viz All army and navy officers in command of rebels," and all civil officers whatever in the public service of the Confederate States Within the separate States, the parties liable are all civil officers, executive and judicial memoers ot legislature or convention, and any oflicr whatever who has previously been in the service of the United States, and all office holders and agents within any State of the Confeder ation Confederate, State or' municipal. But of these classes those only are liable to confiscation who have accepted their appointments since the date ofi or have sworn allegiance to the Confederate States. In the "loyal States" the property of all persons who "aid and comfort the rebellion," is liable to be confiscated and all other persons, anywhere, in an State, are liable to tha same punishment, for organizing an armed rebellion or giving aid or comfort to rebles provided thoy do not within sixty days after the President's proclamation to that effect, desist from. such conduct. A judicial process is provided for the condemnation and sale of property seized under the law.

The negro ia to be found in several clauses of the bilL We will state briefly what legislation is provided for him, and what the President thinks of it and the question in In the first the slaves of all sons convicted by due judicial process, of treason, or of inciting or aldine rnh01in. are declared free at once. The President pronounces this, as stated in the naked language of the bill, to be a startling" proposition, the freeing of slaves within a State by the' Federal Got-ernment. He thinks it, however, very harmless, when stated in a better form of words, viz that Government acquires the titles to slaves as to. other rebel prop erty, and then emancipates its own slaves by a general law in It ia no longer- emancipation against the laws of a State by the Federal Government but the exercise of the supreme right of Government to dispose aa it pleases, of the property it acquires within the States.

The logic will be disputed, as well by those, who hold that under the jjtitution, the Government can acquire no such right within a State, and could not, under the laws of war, exercise any such power rightfully and by that other party which denies that the United States has any power to hold slaves as property at all, and that to take them even for the purpose of emanci-tion, is a Federal recognition of the right of property in slaves. Slaves are clso, by the ninth section of the bill, declared free, as captives in war whenever they escape and enter within the army lines of the United States when they are captured from rebels, or are deserted by them, and come under the control of the United States Government and whenever they are found in captured places, previously occupied by rebel forces. Of these provisions the President expresses approval as to their substantial justice but he objects that a discriminating application of them is very difficult, and, to a great extent, impossible." There are certain conditions upon which negroes are to be freed, but there is no provision made in the law for -determining when and how particular slaves fall within the described classes. He evidently is not convinced that the decision is properly left, or ought to be left, with military commanders, of whose true functions he speaks thus onr niilitary commanders, when, in military phrase, they are within the enemy 's country, in an orderly manner, seize ana keep whatever of real or personal pro-F tt8y CMisrry or convenient for tl.eir command, and, at the same time, pre- they do" "W'7 the eTidelle o' The natural deduction is that the Presi-dent does not think the power of deciding on these cases should be devolved on milt tary commanders and he asked for some adequate provision for these caaoa to be provided by Congress but Copgresa ominea to uu su. On the subject of fugitive slaves, in general, the law provides that no; slave shall be eurrenu'ered, except to loyal owners; -and that no military or naval commander adjudicate such Tbe use of negroes in tha war is not otherwise provided for in the act, than by authorizing the President to employ persons of African descent, and organize and use them at bis discretion.

1 I This includes two the tm. ployment of the emancipated or runaway blacks as laborers for the army and the arming of them as soldiers. On the first point the President is entirely explicit on the second he reserves his judgment for future events, as he did in the "proclamation suspenAng that of Gen. Hunter. He says "I have no hesitation to go as far in th direction indicated as I may at any time deem expedient, and I am ready to say, now.

I think it proper for our military commander to employ as laborera as many persons of African descent as can be need to advantage." The uses of negroes are thus left entirely with the President, and he states that he is onfy prepared to say, now, thathey ought to be employed as laborers, but that be will have no hesitation in pursuing the policy, as much farther as he may find advantage in doing. There is little difference in principle, therefore, between Mr. Lincoln and the radicals ip Congress. Theg have quarreled with him not because he differs with them on the lawfulness and expediency of arming the negroes, whenever it shall become expedient, but in the opinion that it has not become expedient just yet. The preference between them, if any, is that be is indisposed to take the last step, if he can accomplish his plans of the war without it; and there are, doubtless, many of them who would prefer the measure for its own sake, and not as means for any 'national object who mean it, for the direct end of destroying the social system of the Southern States, and would consider any event of the war as unsatisfactory, which hould not effect that object.

The arming of the negroes is their favorite scheme for that end with the President, it is only avowed as a measure he may be required to take for ending the war. Late and Important Tram Mexico, via Havana. The United States mail steamer Columbia, from Havana on the 7th arrived at New York on the 11th, bringing highly interesting news from Havana and the Mexican Republic. The French brig-of-war Marceau captured the small Mexican schooner Ursula, loaded with corn and lard, carried ner into Vera Cruz, discharged and condemned her. The captain and crew wore put in irons and thrown into prison, where they now are.

The Mexican steamer Constitution was manned and sent toAlvarado to force the Government there to declare for Almonte. The inhabitants of Alvarado refused, and drove the steamer off. Sho than went to Tlacotalpan with the same result. The French man-of war L'Eclair was sent to Campeche on a like errand, with a like result, for, after exchanging a few shots with the Castle of San Luis, and molest ing the commerce for a few days, she left. The French man-of-war Bayonnaise went to Mazatlan and ordered the Govern-menyo declare for Almonte, threatening foice it was refused, and she left.

In the capital had occurred the death of the dietinguiehed capitalist or millionaire, Seuor Eccaiidon. Gen. Cobos returned to Hajana on the 22 of June, from his visit to Gen. Santa Anna. Tbey Lave agreed in a general plan for the expulsion of the invaders, nnder the rallying cry of National independence, war to the iutrudere, and coalition of all parties." This resolution of Gen.

Santa Anna will honorably wipe away all bis previous faults and misde nieanors. It is a glorious resolution, and the Mexican nation will doubtless respond to it with enthusiasm. Gen. Cobos sailed tne same day in the Ecphth packet for Vera Crnz, ac rompanied by Gen. Benavides and Colonels Galmdo and Anbal, carrying a letter from Santa Anna to Almonte.

The Mexicans commenced preparations for the attack on the 14th of June. In the night the French attacked ibe vanguard of Gen. Orteira, and obliged tbem to retreat, killing more than 400, and takibg 2W pri -oners. The Mexicans re-tieated to AculCsingo. Gen.

Vira Crcz, June 15. Ic icy letter of the 1st inst I advised you of ih tuetitut condition of tbe French troops at Orizaba.

They had then in th city a train of some two hundred large wagens that were bing loaded with provision, and some of them had already been put on tbe road. Oaring the first days of the month something like a hundred wagons were rout off under tbe escort of a French gnard and two or three renin Ikes reached Orisiba in safety, bnt other' small lots have been at tacked by parties of guerrillas of the Ju ares arty, auAcotiiderable damag bas been done. On lotf twenty wagons, loaded with powder and floor, was tired npon th other and nearly th whole of the teamsters wire tilled. Tb email assert ran off at the first discharge aud left the wagons to their fate. Two French officers, who were going up with this train, to escape from th vomtto of inu city, were snot, as wen aa two reucn vivandteres.

These poor female were shown no consideration, bnt were killed, and persons who bav seen their bodies lying with th rest of tbe dead in the road aav they wer bonibly dit figured and mutilated, and stripped of clothing. The wagons of this train were destroyed. th nowder blown no. and all the retr th cargo destroyed or carried off Ja corn eqnence of this reverse, and on account oi icaoiuty to aena jrrencn escort irom here, tb Fiench. commander of Vera Crnz baa oidered th return of eixtv waeons that were already on the point of starting from th railroad terminus at Tejeria, and these wagons are again within th walla of Vera Cjdz.

The Fiench troops at Orizaba, how-over, bat provisions anoogh to last them for nearly two months, bnt they must look sharp, or they will be in want again, as, in addition to Mexican guerrillas, they will soon have the rainy season to contend with. Th guerrillas sow th road sear here ar reported to be tibt bundled strong. We bav had a most exciting commercial pronuBciameLtoin in is city ij Uen.

Tbe city was found enclosed by barricades and conmanded by a fort, where every means of defence had been accumulated.

A heavy rain came on which inundated tbe soil and made tbe heights inac ceeeible, resdering it impossible to renew the attack but ths Emperor will know how to appreciate your efforts. Yes, all I have told you is true- Yoa have been deceived, as well as his Majesty the Emperor, and yoa have been obliged to defend yourselves even against those who have sympathies for you.

Orizsia, May 21, 18C2.

Tbe vomito is subsiding. There are at present few in the beepitals of Vera Cruz. The rainy season has not yet set in bat tbe signs of the times are that it will not long delay. Gen. Almonte has put a direct tax of two per cent, upon real property.

Tbe town of Alvarado has pronounced back to tbe Juarez side. Lag una still remains faithful to the new Almonte movement. He-ports say Tampico is to be attacked by troops of Almonte. July 2. The reported defeat of tbe Mexicaus, by tbe French, turns out quite true.

The Mexicans, inflated with their success over the French at Puebla, gained confidence and commenced to make their preparations for an attack on Orizaba Gen. Ortega and some of the most successful leaders of the liberal soldiers were entrusted with commands and sent to face th foreign army. On the 12th nit they cam sear Orizaba with some twelve to thirteen thenaand meny and the plan of an attack was made. Gen. Ortega took tha Cerro del Borre- fo; a hill pn the edge of the town, and planted is battery for th purpose of protecting an attack that was to nave been made on th French works the following morning.

During the night a small French force of some 150 men fell open Ortega's division, 4000 strong, and, strange to say, captured his guns and made 400 prisoners, besides kilting and wounding a large number. In fact, Ortega's troop wer completely routed, as he admits himself tn an official report of the action. He gives the loss in round number from four to hundred ma and three pieces of artillery. Gen. Llave was wounded, and several colonels and other officer were killed on th aid of the Mexicans.

The French, being eo few in somber, Buffered little in comparison. The affair appears to have been a complete ear prise but it sufficed to dissuade the Mexicans from tbeir vain scheme of driving th French out of Orizaba, and, after th defeat of Ortega, tb balance withdrew to the signlands one more. Tbe French are again in great want of provisions, and Jiave sent her a heavy escort from Orizaba to convoy th wagons to that place It ia expected that some 200 or more wagons will leave this week for the French camp. All kinds of provisions ar very dear here. Flour is telling at $22.

A large quantity of flour is now reported to be on the way to this port, and some imagine the market is to be overstocked. Ibis fear ia based on the supposition that no more French troops are coming bnt, we can credit tbe assertions of the French officers in command hera, we are very soon to have 20,000 more French troops, in which case this will be a good maiket for breadetulls for months to come. The guerrillas are intercepting tbe introduction ot all kinds cf vegetables and country produce from this market On Sunday last they seized the railroad train coming 'from Medellinand carried tbe passengers back to that place. Mr. Lyons, the director of tbe reed, and Mr.

Moran, were on the train, and were made to take along journey on foot, but were finally set at liberty. Tbe object appears to have been simply to prevent the railroad from being need tor the aid or comfort of their enemies inside tbe walla, although tbe effect of 'this molestation ia to make the poor natives sutler more than foreigner. Our advices from the capita! are to tbe 2th. Everything remained torpid in Mexico, and tbe business community were longing to see tbe French make anotber move forward, aa in the carrying out of tbe intervention remains tbe only hope for every vital interest in the country. The Government had placed its interventors in charge of several private properties, who were collecting the rents The Hotel Itnrbide was in tbia situation.

This ia done on tbe principle that private property pertains to the army cheer." Gonzalez the relative of Prim, who rendered jsuch important services to Juarez in getting ibe Spaniard oat of the country, has lately been compelled to hide himself to avoid de-wands made npon him for money. Gen. Doblado, like all other Mexican statesmen, cannot bear up against time, and he is very unpopular in the capital at tbe present time. An accusation was to have been made in Congress against bim, and waa only deferred on account of foreign troubles He is accused of nothing hort of treason but an aecnsation before Coogrers means nothing. That body is a caricature upon legislative bodies throughout the world.

Mejia, the clergy leader of the Sierra, has taken Queretaro, and Lozada is again in power in tbe canton of Tepie.

Th notary apptted to in the ease was Mr. Shannon, bat as he had not taken the oath of allegiance, he eould not, according to one of Gen.

Botier'a general orders, aet in th premises. He, however, re ceived the money and wrote out th act of sal aa dark of Joseph Conn, a notary who had taken the oath and whose name figured notarially in the instrument as the person before whom th act was passed. Every thipg went off harmoniously, and the act was signed by all the parties with th exception of the purchaser. The slave was even delivered and taken away, bat it was with the understanding that he was to have her on trial for forty-eight hours, and if he did not like ber he could return her at the expiration of tbat time with-ont prejudice to either party in interest. Now, the second day after the purchase and delivery of the slave was Sunday not a legal day for the transaction of business eo she was kept Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

If tbe time that tbe slave was to be kept on trial were stated in days, instead of hoars, there can be no doubt that Sanday would bave to be omitted from the count, bat in the common sense understanding of forty-eight hours," tbe hours are counted as they come, no dead onea" being permited to mar tbe record. The three days experience with th slave proved unsatisfactory, and the par-chaser applied for the return of his money, and stked permission to return the negreaa. But the money in the meantime had been paid over by Shannon to Bowles, who had aigned tbe act of sale and delivered np the slave to Gestae Tbe question then arose, Was the act of tale perfect, not having been signed by tbe purchaser, though signed by the vendor, tbe notary and witnesses?" To constitute a sale tbire must be an object, a price and a consent. The object in this case was tb negress; tbe price, $700; and the cot sent on the part of the vendor was clearly evinced, but it was a question whether the taking and keeping of the slave for mora than forty-eight hours constituted a legal accept ance and "consent" on tbe part of the purchaser- Thete, however, were side issues in tbe case as presented before tbe Court Cestae sued Shannon for fraudulently disposing of the $700 wbich be bad placed in his hands, and bis counsel claimed that a notary had no right to give up money so placed in his bands until tbe act of sale was completed by the signaturei of vendor and vendee. Experts, learned in tbe law, were examined in relation to the matter, and it seemed to be the general impression tbat both purchaser and vendor should sign tbe act of sale before a notary was warranted in delivering op money placed In his bands for inveetmont.

Co an, the notary who had taken the oath, and ia whoa nam th act was made, was very closely questioned by tbe Judge, who appeared to suspect that Conn was pennittixg Shannon to act nnder the cover of his name. It came out that there are about tixty notaries In tbe city, only six of whom had taken the oath, and all over and abov th six, who undertake to perform notarial duties, most do so as confidential clerks oT the six. Lengthy speeches were delivered hi ths ease by tbe respective counsel, and the matter was at length taken nnder advisement by th Court, Coin a well as Shannon being in th meantime kept nnder arrest. Mr. Fonobier, who resides at Gretna, was brought up to answer for aiding and encouraging men to join tbe Confederate It appears a policeman, in disguise, approached Mr.

and pointing to two man, asked if tbey could not be got to join the Confederate army. F. said that he was a good Southern man that tb South wanted soldiers, and that he would ask th men. This was a mere trap to catch Mr. and being adjudged gnilty of disloyal conduct th Court sent him for three months to th Pariah Friso.

James Manson for applying very uncompli mentary epithets to a Federal sergeant, ou ntakot dntv. waa sent to orison for two months. A like sentence was imposed on Thoe. McMtl-Lmi who waa accused of riving aid to men sxbont to leave the city for th purpose of Intmino' tha Confederate armv. The great case ia which the Fourth District police expected to make so much of capital did not turn out very advantageous for them after alL It was the general Impression tbat their action waa arbitrary and improper.

Tbe man Jones, whom they arrested at Gretaa -for attempting to join th Confederate army was discharged, tne re oeing no prooi was suuu was bit intent. Wood roll; whom the police arrested in Janerson City, and wnom tney beat and threatened to shoot for an alleged tn terference, which be altogether denies, was also discharged, and the driver of the omnibus wno proved relractory on taeir nauas, waose face they beat into a jelly aa they palled htm down from bis seat, and caused his arm to be rnn over, was furthermore told to go nia way. When policemen get to be over vigilant they obtain as little thanks aa when they are ne- Slectful of their doUes. some oi tne fourth District police are now overdoing things. G.

W. Holt made another appearance on the ehinplatter question. He was granted till today to furnish means of redemption. Haply there will be a rush among th holders of his notes. A slave named Margaret, belonging to M'm i-eaarent, was up on a cnarge oi iiaviug stolen $200 from her mistress.

The slave was sent to prison for six months. Mr. I van off was brought up to answer for striking a boy on Canal street. A witness swor that it was he, not the accused, who struck tbe boy, and tbe reason given therefor was, that the boy attempted to snatch a pie ont of his band. The Judge thought it was a mixed up case, and disposed of it by fining Mr.

and tb witness $10. The charge was made by Federal officer. Jacob Conner, who drove his team into another team driven by a Federal captain, on the glorious Fourth, near the Half-way Hom, was required to pay the damages, a mo an wag to $20. A brace of Sicilians were hut evening arrested at the request of Thomas Grayson, who charges them with hiviag stolen his skiff. The skiff was found in tbeir possession.

The names of th accused are Antonio Pietano and Jose Melaro. They each bad money in their parses, and Melaro had, besides bis good money, no less than twenty-eight counterfeit half dollars a very spurious article.
