‘The Rappahannock correspondent of a Phi- ‘ladelphia paper says that on the morning of the 2lst the rebels opened a battery on our centre and continued vigorously to throw shot and shell for several hours. A little higher up it was discovered that the enemy had during the night erected a bridge over the river at this point. The most brilliant and successful affair of the day is reported to have occurred in the vicinity of this bridge. ‘The rebels opened a brisk fire on one of Gen Sigel’s batteries, which for a time replied with spirit; ina little while our fire slack- ened and then ceased. ‘Ihe battery having been apparently silenced or withdrawn, three rebel regiments then rushed forward across the bridge and Gen. Sigel offered no opposi- tion. Everything seemed tuvoradle to the rebels, but alas the scene s00n changed. No sooner had they crossed than Gen. Sigel opened his battery on the bridge. The fourth shot completely demolished it. At the same time our troops opened a deadly fire of mus- ketry on the rebels in front. Their retreat being cut off and being assailed by our artil- lery and muskets, they soon surrendered. Not a man escaped. Nearly 2000 are said to have been captured, and about 400 killed and wounded. ~

The enemy having failed in this,now push- ed forward their forces with impetuosity and strived to cutflank Gen. Sigel by crossing at French’s Ford, but Gen. Pope ordered u

were not surprised to hear that there was unseemly scolding in the Executive Council when the Duke's despatch, rejecting the Award, was first read, and that a threat was made by the members to resign en masse, and thereby bring the Duke and the whole world to their senses; but the threat was happily recalled, in a lucid moment, which shortly after supervened.

As to asking the Colonial Minister and Proprie- tors to reconsider their opposition to the Award, the proposal is simply absurd. The Duke of New- castle is not the sort of man to recede from a po- sition he has once taken; and Sir Samuel Cunard is too jealous of his influence to offer even the ap- pearance of being shaken in his will by pressure from any quarter, The thing is put “out of the

are quite surprised that anybody should be sur- prised about the rejection of “ the so-called Award.” Nearly seven months ago we predicted the fate of the thing, and nearly once in every seven days since we have declared it as utterly absurd to expect a confirmation of “ the so-called Award.” We plainly saw by the despatch of the 7th February, that the Duke had thrown the thing “out of the way.” But if we had any lin- gering doubts on the matter, the Cunard Bill was eminently calculated to remove them. That gave us an exposition of the views of the Proprietors, and the despatch which accompanied it shewed us that the Proprietors and the Colonial Office were ONE.

We won't disguise the fact that we are very much pleased at the rejection of the Award—not because its rejection is, and will be embarrassing

Our valiant statesmen, though they might put all their military toggery upon their backs, must not think of get- ting Up a quarrel with the statesmen in Downing Street, even thoagh it could be shown that the righteousness of the quarrel was with the former. Our Executive authorities have been snubbed— their pretensions to influence treated with scorn ; and the only noticeable measure which will serve to mark their four years’ possession of power thrown aside as so much waste paper with scant courtesy and respect at the hands of the degtrayer. It is said and believed that the Government will take the disallowance of the Award Bills as an excuse for holding on to office a few weeks longer, and violating the spirit of the law by holding

It was true that arrears of reut due prior to 1858, were to be remitted to intending purchasers, but we peinted out that if such ar- rears existed, it could only be in exceptional cases; and that tenants against whom such old arrears stood must be of the very poorest class, and not likely to have the means of buying their farms at any price. Besides, there were only three or four estates ou whieh the Award could go into operation at all. And as regards the Ar- bitration part of the Award, that we considered the most unsatisfactory part of the whole arrange- ment. The proposal was not ouly open to “ in-

hear of any monstrocity perpetrated by them in their present frame of mind. They have come to that point in their downward career at which the victims of misfortune or folly become indifferent to the opinions of the world, and at which the very sense of danger becomes swallowed up in despair. If they were to do such a sensible act as to appeal at once to the ceuntry, aud ask for a justification of their policy from those to whom they are responsible, the fact might be taken as evidence that they themselves do not look upon their case as irredeemable, — it would shew that they were not ashamed to face the people—that they had some hope of escaping a ec

and overwhelming defeat. But though they know election day inust come very soon, their only re- solve seems to be to shut their eyes to it as firtly as they can, and let time aud the tide of public opiuion carry them off whitherseever fate may drive them.

We give below the Despatch which records the fate of the Award, and alsothe very feeble Minute ofour Executive Council, which was manufactured more for use in this Island than anywhere else— to make gullible people here think that the Go-

be carried out

These enactments on the part of the local Legis. lature, it will be observed, do not, in any manver vary or trench npon the principles of the Award; and they have been passed, not only for the of carrying out the provisions of the Award in fuller detail, but as being essentially necessary, in view of the Despatch of His Grace the Duke of New- custle to His Excellency the Lientepant Governor, of the date of the Zist March, 1860.

‘By a pane contained in the despatch of the uke of Neweasthe to Mis Excellevey the Licuten- amt°Gdéveruor, dutéd the 7th Febraury, 1862, His | Grace appears to apprehend that the arbitration | system prescribed by whe Conimissioners, would ne-

cessitate amaltiplicity of separate local arbitration, which, in the estimation of His Grace. would eon - stitute insuperable objections against this wode of adjustment. The Board, however, see no reason to apprehend that in the practi workihg of the measure, many of these arbithators would be called fo. On the contrary, they are ‘of ‘opinion that should arbitrators be resorted tg, two or three cases on & Township would bave the effect ef establish- ing & price or prices that would become the respec- tive standards of value on that Township.

The Board feel impeHed to eX press Thele hope, that His Grace, the Duke of Neweasti¢, in consi- dering the Bills which have been passell by the Le- sisluture of this Colony, ter the prrpose of ivi | aon to the Award of Commisstonert, 0 os | in mind, that the differences whieh the Cominission- lers were wppointed finally to ine, have, | for upwards of a half century, exe a t | baneful influence upon this Colony, and thit ‘the people generally hailed with much satisfactiog thé | prospect of having these differences adjusted by a

niode to be pointed out by the very talented Cot.’
