The Harriet Lane having been prepared for 2 voyage, left the Yard yesterday about sunset, bound down. As beavy firing was heard from the Confederate batteries this morning at an early bour, it is supposed that the steamer was passing, and the rebels were paying her the compliment of a salute. The Stepping Stones also left the Yard yester- day evening. The King Philip went down to the flotilla yes- terday, and returned about sundown. Dr. Bell, chief of the medical department of Hooker’s brigade, died at Budd's ferry a day or two since, of heart disease. His remains were brought to this city by the ferry boat Eagle last night, and after being encased in a metallic cof- fin at the Navy Yard, were sent northward per railroad this morning. BETTER. Weare glad to be able to state that Secretary Stanton !s much relieved to-day, and is rapidly recovering. We trust he may be able to be at the War Department to-morrow. ——___s+e- New Pustications.—We have received ‘‘The Hydropathic Encyclopedia; a System of Hydro- pathy and Hygiene, Designed as a guide to Fam- iltes and Students, and a Text-Book for Physi- cians.” by R. T. Trall,M.D. New York, Fow- ler & Wells. This is the most comprehensive of the numer- ous medical works of Dr. Trall, embe-tying a full showing of the system of Hydropathy and Hy- giene, as practised by Dr. T., and 1s illustrated by some three hundred engravings. The reader, whether agreeing or not with Dr. Trall in his Medical theory, will be interested by the vigor with which it is maintained, and will find much valuable general information in the work. From the publishers, T. B. Peterson & Bros. : through J.Shillington, we have “‘ The Flower of the Prairie.” by Gustave Armand, a pretty good sensation story in the Mayne Reid style. pers Seer thrth Prx-Apamitic News.—Our Reuben—in view of the fact that our Rip-Van-Winkle-ish cotem- Porary of Seventh street shrinks from publishing anything ‘n the news line until it bas ‘seasoned’? for at least a week—inquires: ‘‘ Why is the Na- tional Intelligencer Uke the ‘« Poor Man’s Plas- ter ?”* and trlumphbantly answers: ‘ Because it is good for a week (weak) back.” I> The national flag was hoisted at the door of the Provost Marshal in Alexandria, last Tues- day night about 10 o'clock, by some parties un- known. ————— Tue Paesipent’s CuiLpRen.—The President's two youngest children continue quite ill, of fever. uo ‘Tue District 1n Coxcress—Warden for the Cuy Jaiul.—Yesterday, Mr. Wilson introduced a bill into the Senate in relation tothe warden of the District jail, providing that the President shall appoint a suitable person, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, as warden, who shall serve for the term of four years, to receive an annual salary of —— dollars. Said warden is to have the exclusive custody of all the jails, and be accountable for the safe keepirg of ail prison- ers legally committed therein, and to have all the marge over said jail and the prisoners therein pone Sengragpe to the Marshal of said District. The to enter into bond with sureties for all the duties connected with bis office. Mr. Wilson moved the reference of the bill to the Committee on the District of Columbia. He stid it would be recollected that the Secretary of State bad issued an order, the object of which was to clear the jail of persons held there under the claim of being fugitive slaves. The order was received of course with 2 disposition to evade it, because it was well known that the jail was under the control of the deputy, Phillips, and under the superintenderce of a negro thief named Wire. In order to evade the strict execution of the order a held in the jail owned by aman named Chapman, in Charles county, Maryland, bimeelf S secessionist, wastaken out of the jail before a justice ofthe peace, in order to be formally com- mitted. This person had been put in the jail by the man Wise, who visits the various regients and portionsof the country about here and steals negroes wherever he can lay hishands upon them, He recited the particulars of one case, of a hegro thus captured, who attempted to escape and was seriously injured, and for tRecrime of attempting to escape was immured in adungeon, bis hands and feet tied over a barrel, and he was‘‘cobbed,”” as they callit. After this punishment he was taken outof the jail and sent toaslave pen in Baltimore This man Wise was there by the sanction of the Senate, and he had brought {a the bill to — the continuance of such crimes pe umanity, taking the jail from the bands Marshal Lamon, and putting it under awarden to be appointed by the President of the United ‘States, with condrmation of the Senate. Mr. Hale was unwilling that this bill should be referred without a word. He reminded the Sen- ate thata resolution had been passed. in conse- = of an order having been issued by the a Senators and members of Con- gress from the jail, by which that officer was pro- claimed to be in contempt of the rightful author- ity of this body. A copy of that resolvtion was sent to the President of the United States, and if that man is now in H smugeernae of the jail, and in discharge of the duties and functions cf Marshal of the District, he wished !t to be understood that the responsibility does not rest upon the Senate, but uponstne President, who has been officially notified, by # unanimous vote of this body, of the deings of that man The bill was referred to the Committee for the District of Columbia. ———$—$—$— Financia, —From the New York Evening Post y : wernment securities are firm but not active.
