THE NEWS HERE. hates serene Tue Minitary Frotrive Stave Question — Below the reader will find a letter of instructions from the Secretary of War to Gen. Butler, relative to the disposal of fugitive slaves seeking refuge under the protection of the army of the United States. It annoonees that the Government will adhere strictly !u this matter to the principle of the Constitution, wherein it Ceciares that private property shall not be taken for public uses without just compensation, end forbids in plain language the troops of the United States from interfering in any way with the slaves of peaceful citizens ‘‘in Bouse or fleld.”” [t shows clearly, moreover, tha! {t is the purpose of the Government in the prosecution of the war for the restoration of the Union, to respect and maintain existing property rights ‘under State or national law, so far as that can pos- sibly be accomplished consistently with the pur- Pose of securing a successful issue of the Govern- ment’s necessary war measures. Military exi- agencies must, of course, for the time being, over- ride all things else, and may at times require our officersto subordinate all other things to them. The existence of that fact is, however, justly chargeable only upon those attemping to subvert the Government and Union, whose insurrection alone bids fair to work the injury tothe slave inter- ests of their alders and abettors that must necessa- rily grow out of their employment of their slaves as war means against the United States: Wasuincton, August §, 1861 Gungrat: The important question of the Proper disposition to be made of fugitives from service in States In insurrection a: the Federal Gov- ernment, to which you bave again directed my attention in your letter of July 30th, bas received my Most attentive consideration ke is the desire of the President that all existin rights, In all the States, be fully respected an: maintained. The war now prosecuted on the part of the Federal Government is a war for the Un ion, and for the preservation of the constitutional rights of States and the citizens of the States in the Union. Hence no question can arise as to fu- pardon from service within the States and Terri- es in which the authority of the Union is fully acknowledged. The ordinary forms of judicial proceeding, which must be respected b: military and civil authorities alike, will suffice for the en- forcement of ali legal claims. But in States wholly or partially under i me haroapened control, ‘where the laws of the United States are so far 0} and resisted that they cannot be effectual y enforced, it is obvious that rights dependent on the execution of those laws must temporarily fail; and it Is equally obvious that rights dependent on ‘the laws of the States within which m litary ope- rations are conducted must be necessarily subor- dinated to the Gren | exigencies created by the on. If not wholly forfeited ay the trea- sonable conduct of parties claiming them. To ‘this general rule, rights to services can form no exception ongress approved August 6th, 1961 declares that if persons held to service shall be pens er in hostility to the United States, the right to their services shal! be forfeited, and such persons shall be discharged therefrom. It follows of necessity that no claim can be recognized by the military authorities of the Union to the services of such persons when fugitives. A more difficult question {a presented in respect to persons escaping from the service of loyal masters. [t is quite apparent that the laws of the State, under which only the services of such fugi- tives can be claimed, must needs be wholly, or almost wholly suspended, as to remedies, by the insurrection and the military measures necessi- tated by It, and it is equally ap) mt that the substitution of mili for judical measures, for tbe enforcement of such claims, must be attended by great inconveniences, embarrassments, and — Under these circumstances {t seems quite clear that the substantial rights of loyal masters will be best protected by receiving such fugitives, as well as fugitives from dislo: masters, into the ser- Vice of the United States, and employing them under such organizations and ir such ocenpations as clreumstances may suggest or require. @f course 8 record should be kept, showing the name and description of the fugitives, the nnine and the character, as loyal or disloyal, of the master, and Such facts as may be Recessary to a correct under- standing of the circumstances of each case after tranquillty shall have been restored. Upon the retarn of peace, Congress wili doubtless properly provide for the persons tbus received into the ser- Vice of the Unien, and for jest compensation to loyal masters.

His case bas been referred toGen. Mansfield. When taken he professed to be going only on a fishing excursion. en Tae Wasuincton PoLice CommissionzRs — We apprehend that the delay in the announce- ment of the Commissioners of the new Govern- ment police for this District arises from the fact that the Mayor bas requested time to be heard— as the representative of the Corporation of Washb- ington—before the President finally announces his selections.

The fact is, Mr. Throckmorton waa not at Mr Upton’s place, but met a wagon returning from Georgetown driven by one of his brother’s Yervants, and wanting some stones conveyed to a certain Point, pressed them Into service, and then sent them back.
