1 { THE EVENING STAR. ~~ WASHINGTON CITY: | THURSDAY MARCH 19, 1963, 07 READING MATTZR OM BVABY Pace. SRR OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. } ' SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, The Intelligencer reiterates: its aasertion that the I'resident’s policy of emancipation, wii: compensation to loyal owners, bad but few ardent supporters In Congress, among tn President's potitical friends. The Chronicle cemsares.the Iate Baltimore Conference for refusing to pass the resulutions introduced by Messrs. Reid and Davis, and thinks it would not have been quite so noz- committal if Jeff Davis was in power here. tees s7 We accidentally omitted the name of Richard C. McCormick in the list of contirma- tioms by the Scnate, given inthe Star of last evening. Mr. Me(). was unanimoxsly con- firmed as Secrétary of the new Territory of Arizous. He has already lied several respon- sible positions, and is at present Chief Clerk of the Department of Agriculture. In i854 and ‘5 he visited Europe, anc was present at the siece ‘Sebastopol, of which he wrete an interesting of travel, Last fall h- was the Republican candidate for Congress in the fst district of New York, having received the nomination by acclamation, and running much ahead of his ticket, thocgh overvorne by the Democratic interest. Mr. McCormick was for a time in tha editorial rooms of the New York Evening Post and wAs present at the batiles of Bull Run, Williamsburg, and other flelds, as the corres- pondent of tha! journal. His present appoint- ment As Seciefary_of Arizona, is one of the best made by the President. That Territory, from it sMportant sination, and its great minera! wralth, is destined. with a good territorial govevument, stich as it will new have, 6uun to become entitied toacmistion axa State. Large and wealthy Arizona mining companies are being formed, and the Meintzelman and other productive mines will be at once reopened. Our California advices intorm us that aiready in aaticipation of military protection, Iarce bodies of miners sre flocking towards this new El Derado. @7-At the reguiar monthly meeting of the Beard of Directors of the Baithmore aud Ohio Railroad, held yesterday, the Finance Com- mittee mace a report, giving an encouraging and prosperous «xbibit of the coadition of the Company and the road. A dividend of three per cent. on the stock of the main stem, and of four and a half per cent. on the stock of the Waehington branch for ihe half year ending with March was declared. The resoiuiions reported by the Finaxce Committee, authoriz- yInent by the Company of the ti mortgage bends of the Ceutral Ohio Railroad raprelonged ds bate, passed & AND WOUNDED SoLptems TO RE SENT vo Loesritars nzaR Home—An order has been issued from the Surgeon General's off by Svrgeon KR. O. Abbott, to the effect that he will take the necessary measures to cause the transter to general hospitals nearest to their Lomes of sll sick and wounded soldiers who have been taken sick for three months and up- wards, and who are in @ fit state to bear such transportation. These transfers to be in de- tachments of about fitty, under charge of proper officers, and with due attention to the welfare of the sick thus transferred. a7 It appears by the New Orleans corres- pondence of the Buffalo Courier that the excit- ing atory ik reference te the attempted aysagsi- mation of General Banks was manufactured out of the fact that an officer had thrown froin an upper widow of the City Hotel two explo. sive eartridges, which exploded on striking the pavement, just as the (jeneral was aboutenter- ang bis carriage. 7A dispatch received at headquarters in | St. Louis on Friday evening, by way of Cape Girardeaa, states that General McNeil had a fight with Jef.

The bombardment was continued after the burning of the Nashvilie purely fer experimental prac. tice by the iron-ciads and mortar vessels, more particularly the latter. The torpedo explosion under the Montauk tock place as the latter was moving out from Fort McAllister. fhe injury done was so tri- fling as not to give a high idea of the Rebel in- fernal machines. { Though the explosion was | directly under the bottom of the Montauk, the | enly damage done wus a slight crack in one of the piates, which was repaired in a couple of hours. The destruction of the Neshyille was a most | importapt work, a8 she was a superior apeci- men of naval architecture, swifter than the Alabama, and fitted out with a superb arma- ment. The mischief she might have done, if let loove among our unarmed merchantmen, is almost incalculable. Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont keep their plans 50 close that the Rebels are yet uncertain which point (Savannab or Charleston) is first te receive the attentions of the threatening Fed- erul forces. It may be some days yet before their doubt is relieved, as certain appliances invented by Capt. Ericsson for removing ob- structions require to be supplied. Four out of five of these, sent out in tow from New York, foundered on the way. When these are ready, the pile drivers of Charleston ard Savannah — one or both—will haye au opportunity to pit their appliances against the genius of the in- yentor of the Monitor.
