Emancipation League. With a grand flourish, the Emancipation League paraded the name of Senator Wilson as the orator who would address them at Cooper Institute on last night. It being ascertained that Mr. Wilson could not come, they advertised Rev. Dr. Cheever and Mr. O. A. Brownson. The fame of these gentlemen attracted exactly 216 persons to Cooper Institute, 41 of whom occupied the platf impatience, whereupon Mr. Hart advanced to the desk, and apologized for the non-appearance of Mr. Wilson, on the ground of public duty; for the absence of Mr. Brownson, because he had not promised toabsence of Dr. Cheever, who is in "delicate health. " He then read the following letter from Senator Wilson: Senate Chamber, June 18, 1862. Dear Sir: I deeply regret that I cannot fulfillect of duty. After the adjournment I will fulfill this engagement if desired. Yours, truly, H. Wilson. The letter was received in profound silence by the audience, and in the same dolefu

, Stonewall Jack son's advance to Richmond, &c. The Department either had no news, or would give none out; and the former was probably true, as the wires were either out or not working well. The rumors, therefore, run riot, commencing as soon as the morning services were over at church and continuing till midnight. This circulation of rumors, however, was a game that two sides could as well play at as one, and accordingly a great Union victory was recorded on both sides of the bulletin at Willard's, concluding with a notice that an excursion pleasure party would set out from Washington for Richmond on the 4th of July! This childish trifling in the midst of a known battle and the certain loss of life, was a most disgusting piece of levity, and met with the contempt it deserved. Federal officers killed. a correspondent of the Herald furnishes the following sketch of several of the Federal officers who were reported to have been killed: Colonel Samuel N. Black, of t

thout a groan. Colonel Gove, of the Twenty-second Massachusetts regiment, also fell at the head of his command. He was a graduate of West Point, and took an active part in the Utah. campaign. He was a man of fine scholarly attainments, a splendid disciplinarian, and much beloved by his associate officers and regiment. Colonel Roberts, First Michigan regiment, is also reported among the killed. He was, I believe, a graduate of West Point. His regiment was the one commanded by Col. Wilcox at Bull Run, now held a prisoner of war, with Colonel Corcoran, by the rebels. Col. McQuade, Fourteenth New York Volunteers, was seen to fall from his horse. He is reported killed, but it is more probable that he was taken prisoner, as his body was not afterwards discovered, although his horse was found. The Colonel is well known in New York politics, having served in the New York Legislature two terms, and officiated as clerk of the House several years. For some time he has been

. Dr. Doolittle, of Duryea's Zouaves, who was wounded in the ankle, had six men of his regiment captured by the rebels. They were taken just this side of Gaines's Mill. A few moments earlier and the enemy would have captured two officers. A Puff from the gallows. A negro named Hawkins was hung in New York on the 27th ult. In his address to the crowd around the gallows he gave "Old Abe" a "first rate notice," saying he believed him to be the "best President since the days of Washington." The Herald says: Hawkins then stepped up to the Marshal and asked if he might be permitted to pray, and, on receiving an answer in the affirmative, he offered up the Lord's prayer with unusual clearness and fervor. He then prayed for the whole country, for the success of our arms, and expressed a hope that the rebellion would be speedily crushed. He prayed also that the Union might be restored as it was; that the hearts of the slave masters might be softened, so that his brethren

Manassas, June 28. --One soldier shot another here yesterday, and caused his death. Both were drunk. Four men have been found dead here within the last twenty-four hours in consequence of drinking whiskey, large quantities of which were captured last night, and the trader in charge of it placed under arrest. Cheese, whiskey and onions for the troops. Dr. Vollum, Medical Inspector of the Army of the Potomac, has strongly recommended the Surgeon General to add cheese to the army ration, and to furnish a bountiful supply of onions as a preventive against scorbutic diseases. He has also recommended that the whiskey ration shall be resumed under the direction of the Medical Department. Arrest of a spy at Manassas.

st those persons in the South who refuse to lay down their arms within two months. The most bitter civil war never affects the obligation to respect property. It is pitiful to see the American Republic borrow from the ancient regime one of its most iniquitous laws, without remembering that the press of the U. States has over and again, and most justly, accused Austria and Prussia of high treason against civilization, for having used that weapon in the case of Poland and against Lombardy and Venice." We hope that this will convince the advocates of confiscation that one need not be an enemy of the Federal cause to repudiate their system, and that, on the contrary, the truest friends of that cause are those who are clear-headed enough to point out the errors into which it is likely to fall.

For some time he has been Acting Brigadier-General of the Second Brigade, in General Morrell's Division, which position he filled with eminent ability and satisfaction. Lieut. Colonel Skillen, Fourteenth New York Volunteers, was shot from his horse and mortally wounded. He lived about an hour after receiving his wound. For years he was a leading dry goods merchant in Rome, New York. Lieutenant-Colonel Sweitzer, Sixty-second Pennsylvania, was a lawyer of high standing in Pittsburg. He was United States District Attorney under President Fillmore. He has a brother on Gen. McClellan's staff. Major Patterson, of the same regiment, reported mortally wounded, is a civil engineer by profession. He comes of a military family, his father having been for years Colonel of the Pittsburg Blues.

ts.--Two or three weeks ago, several white men came into Beaufort, painted black, and succeeded, under the privilege and protection of their color, in capturing some of our small boats near there, and getting off with them successfully. What the Republican Senator from New Jersey said in the United States Senate seems to be more and more confirmed from South Carolina, that white soldiers, especially from the Middle and Western States, will not fight in company with negroes. Even the New England regiments don't like their company. The probability now is, that from the indispensable force of circumstances, Gen. Hunter will be obliged to leave a great many plantations, where the missionaries, under the protection of his guns, have been raising cotton, &c., and that the negroes, therefore, will be abandoned by Gen. Hunter, as were the white Union men of Jacksonville, Florida, by him. The Successor of Gen. Fremont. Washington, June 29. --Brigadier-General King on Saturd

marching in the opposite direction from Knoxville. Confederate armies are turning up in every direction, and our forces are nowhere as strong as they should be. The Confederate conscription act, which went into operation in February last, has produced its fruit in filling the Confederate rank and file with men of a more determined stamp than the volunteers. It is noticeable that the Confederates who fought at Shiloh and Fair Oaks are not the same troops who behaved so ignobly at Roanoke, Newbern, and Donelson. Notwithstanding the draft, however, and the unpromising state of affairs in the West, if the Confederates are beaten at Richmond we will have men enough and to spare to finish the rebellion. Gen. Hunter's Negro Brigade, &C. [From the New York Express.] The rumor from Port Royal by the arrival to-day is, that Gen. Hunter ordered his newly- organized Negro Brigade to James Island, to join in the attack there; but that several of the officers refused to go there in com
