Our company is once more in good health, only two of our number are in the hospital, and but few others are complaining.

Our fighting strength now is forty-seven. 1 Since our organization we have lost by desertion twenty transfer- red eight and lost by death six. On the l'Jth Joseph Marsh de- parted this life in the hospital in Glasgow, of lung fever.

In the pursuit of the rebels after the evacuation of Yorktown, when he overtook them at Williamsburg, on the 4th of May, 1SG, he distinguished himself so much that he was brcvetted Lieutenant-Colonel of the United States Army. He took part more or less in the contests on the Peninsula, and was bre vetted Colonel from June lbG-, for the operations in command of the advance and rear guard of the army. lie served under Pope during the last few days of August, and took part in the battles in Maryland in September, IS15-J.

He was placed in command on February 1863, of the whole of the cavalry force of the Army of the Potomac at the time, when General Hooker took command, and with the command, he has made the brilliant movements which will ever make his name famous.

The late raid makes the fourth successful one in which Colonel Kilpatrick has been engaged. The Confiscation of Rebel Property. From the Xew York Evening Post.

A very able discussion of that clause in the Federal Constitution which relates to the foifeiture of property belonging to persons at-ainted of treason has been published at Albanv in two letters, one 1 l'l i i IrOUl PrOieSSOl' WllsOll Ot betieVa College, and the other from Judge Foot. Professor Wilson inquires, both what was the particular intent of this provision at" the time it was adopted, and what would be a reasonable interpretation of its language if adopted even now. Considering it in both respects, becomes to the conclusion that the intention of those who framed the Constitution was to prohibit the legislative power from punishing treason in the absurd way known in England after the death of the oliender, by depriving the heirs of the property which had descended to them. The letter of Judge Foot is a briefer statement of the argument and confirms the conclusions of Professor Wilson. The clause of the Constitution directing that "no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except during the life of the person does not, by any SOl't Ot r.ecesr-ity, imply that .1 the person attained ot ti eaon snail only lorteit a life estate in his prop erty.

Ii it uiil, then it is very elear as Professor Wilson shows, that it it ould relate full as much to per sonal as to real estate. If a traitor owned a thousand dollars in bank stock, or in anv sort, the Go vernment could only confiscate the use of them for the period which r-hould yet elapse before his death. On his death, his bank stock, his carriages and horses, his household furniture, forks included, and his bonds and promissory notes, would revert to his heirs. This is so preposterous an interpretation of the constitution that nobody ire-tends to set it up, and yet we must adopt it if we insist that ''forfeiture during the life of lhe person means the forfeiture of a lite estate in the traitor's property. We must, therefore, look for some other construction of the clause.

The history of England supplies one. It was often the practice when our Constitution was framed, to punish treason in England by attainting the blood of the traitor in such a manner as, even after his death, to deprive his heirs of the property transmitted to them. The l'ramers ot our Constitution resolved hat this should not be done by outlaws. They therefore, directed in substance, that the punishment of forfeiture or confiscation should only be indicted during the lifetime of the person attainted. After he had died, and the property he possessed had passed to his heirs, they were not to be deprived of it.

Nor were they to lose the right of in- heriting through him property that had never come into his possession. 1 If his property was to be confisca- ted lor treason it was to be conliis- cated during his lifetime. Other considerations are dwelt upon, showing the improbability that the trainers ot the Constitution i intended to favor the oileiise of treason by prescribing so ineilcctu-al a punishment for the conspirator against the liberties of his country as is implied in sparing and pro- I tectinsr his nroncrtv for the use ot his family. The authors ot the pamphlet have put the question in I such a light that it seems to us 1 there can be no room for doubt as to the real meaning of the framers of our Constitution. The pamphlet is entitled "Attainder of Treason, or the Confiscation of the property of Hebe's."

twelve hundred mounted men under commaud of Colonel Graham ac- companied by two pieces of artil- lery, made a dash down on Salina, a little town in the edge of Tennes- see, where Hamilton has kept his headquarters during the winter. The river being too full to ford, they took the rebels by surprise just be- fore dark on the 18th, by planting one twelve pound and one twenty-four pound piece on the river bank and opened out a volley of shot and shell scattering the rebs in every direction. Our men dismounted, crossed the river in skifts and a few-little feny boats, and skirmished some two or three hours and re-crossed the river, not however, un- til the little secesh den was entirely 1 demolished by lire. We burned up two large grist mills, several thou- sand bushels of wheat, several i thousand bushels of corn, several thousand pounds of bacon. Our' loss in the engagement was two killed and one wounded.

The ene- my's loss is variously estimated from i sixty to one hundred. Their num- ber was hard to ascertain as they kept men and teams busy hauling off their dead and wounded. We took eight prisoners, so you see are not going much on prisoners sure. This morning some twelve i a i hundred more, under the command of Col. Graham, started again twenty miles farther up the river, here Morgan is said to be await- I ing our attack.

The Colonel says I he is going to clean out both sides of the Cumberland rivtr this trip, so there will he no forage or horses to come over after, and therefore break up guerrilla horse thieving here during the summer. He takes with him this trip, four twelve pound howitzers, one twelve pound and one twenty-four pound ri tie can- non, and soon you will hear of some warm work being done if the) should come across Morgan, and he will I stand, sure. The war here this sum- mer is going to be a general bush- whacking institution, unless our forces make it a war of extermi- nation, and tuch a course is bound, to be adopted here in these ever- lasting hills, hollows and brush, or! our men will be falling from their horses like limbs from the trees in an old deadning of a windy day, when the leaves get out a little larger. But while commenting upon the state of atlairs here, I find by reading the papers, that even in old Indiana they are trying to adopt a similar kind of warfare; even already we hear of several shooting' atfravs, caused bv the same kind of influences being brought to bear upon the minds of the people there that is being brought to bear here; for let me say, that in talking to this stripe here, they make use of the same kind of language that the great union shriekers and constitutional rights men used to make use of in Indiana while I was there a few months ago. And as sure as the sun is in the heavens above, there is a perfect understanding be tween the leaders of this great North-western secession scheme here and those sympathizing leaders at home; for even the poor and the simple here understand this thing; and right here hang their hopes for success in this, and in the North becoming divided.

There is but two things for a man to consider in this matter, and they are just these: if we don't whip them, they will whip us, and a man has got to be lor his government unconditionally, or he has got to be a-raiit it.
