WASHINGTON OITY: THURSDAY....--.......-MARCH 26, 1863. _ «7 BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGS, | BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- | GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. ! BPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, The Intelligencer, noticing the New York Tri- bune's advocacy of the appointment of Gen- Fremont to a command, and its (the Tribune's) suggestions that every arm and sword should be employed, and thefefore that brigadiers should be appointed to command regiments . and mzjor generals to command_ brigades, ar- gues that Gen. Fremont, under such a dispo- sition’ of generals, would take offence, as it | must be remembered that he resigned last year when he was placed en a level with major gen- erals like Banks, McDowell and others. The Chronicle, treating upon “ Economy.in the Army,” advocates the weeding ont and dis- placement of alt incompetent officers,the cons>1- idation of decimated regiments and companies, the employment of civilians whose principles and opinions are with the war in prominent positions, amd a renewed discipline and ac- tvity in the Army. OUR MILITARY .BUDGET Foe ARRIVAL OF REBEL PRISONERS FROM THH WEST. Abont ten o'clock last night, 240 secesh prisoners, mostly taken m Missonri, arrived trom Sandusky, Ohio, and were immediately conveyed to the Old Capitol, where they are now lodged. They were under a guardof 55 men cf Hoffman’s Ohio Battallion, commanded by Captain H.C. Brown, who Were joined at ihe Depot by a company of the 152d New York, who assisted in escorting them to their quar- ters. They, with about 250 other Rebel prisoners now in the Old Capitol will, it is expected; be sent down to-day to Fortress Monroa for ex- change, per steamer State of Maine, now lying At the Sixth street wharf. ARRIVAL OF PRIZES AND PRISONERS. The steamer Philadelphia, Captain Rey- noids, arrived early this morning from Old Point, bringing up two sloops captured in that vicinity some weeks since and seven prisoners. One of the sloops is called the G. T. McCube, of Petersburg, and has on board three. men and two boys, who represented themselves when captured as deserters from Dixie; but from the character of the papers fround in their possession, it has been thought proper to held them, The other two prisoners were taken near Yorktown. 7 ¥ THE OSSEPPEE, The machinery of the steam sloop Ossippee, which has been repaired at the Navy Yard: veing now in excellent working order, it is expected that she will leave on Saturday. +0 + . 7 Dispatches from Louisville state that the Rebels, from three to five thousand strong, with a much larger force follo g them, have taken possession of Danville, jtucky. Dan- ville is in the centre of the State, and the mo. ment is no doubt the commencement of the threatened invasion under Longstreet. As the seal of secrecy has been broken by some of our cotemporaries, it can now do no harm to state that the Government has foreseen and prepared for this movement, General Burnside has been ordered to the command, and the vth Army Corps, the veterans of Roanoke Island, New- bern and Antietam, already en route for Kentucky. With these experienced troops joined tothe forces already in Kentucky, Gen. Burnside will be in a condition to meet any forces that the Rebels will be able to throw into Kentucky, and to defeat their purpoze to interiere with General Rosecrans’s coming campaign. The latest advices from Kentucky speak scmewhat doubtfully of the Rebel invasion. One report is that Breckinridge is at Harrods- burg with a large force, and is rigidly enfore- ing the Rebel conscription act, and that the Federal forces, under General Carter, have fallen back to Lexington. ee REWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICES.— About eleven months ago eighteen privates, ' telongixg to Ohio Regiments, were detailed, by the late General Mitchell, for special duty,and accordingly penetrated Georgia for the des- | truction of railroads, and otherwise to damage | the enemy; but the Rebels captured them, | hung seven, and confined the remainder in dungeons, treating them as felons. On Mon- | day cix of thanumber arrived at Washington; | kaving béen sent to Fortress Monroe under a flag of truce. The others it is supposed escap- ed from prison. Yesterday, by request, these returned coldiers had an interesting interview with the Judge Advocate, General Holt, and and algo with the Secretary of War in the pre- sence of a number of army officers. The Sec- retary presented each of them with a medal, such as was authorized by the late Congress for meritorious conduct, these being the first bestowals of that character. He in addition gave to each a hundred dollars, and ordered he payment of the arrearage due them, and a sum equivalent to that taken from them by the Rebels. He also requested Governor Tod to appoint these men Lieutenants of volunteers In the event of the Governor not doing so, they will be breveted Lieutenants in the regular | service. They subsequently had an interview with the President at the White House. Reset Hores Brasrep—The Jackson Ap- peal (Secesh) of the ist inst., had a rose-colored article apropos to the capture of the Queen of the West and Indianola, by the Confederates, aa which it counted confidentiaily upon the | destruction of Farre gut’s fieet, and the recap- | ‘ture.of. New Orleans, through the instrumen- tality of ‘the Queen and Indianola. The ignominions destruction of the India- nola,and akedaddie of the Queen of the Weat before Porter’s mock-monitor, however, put a | quietus to the Appeals fond dreams, andits | next isene has thé following: “The necéssity which caused the destrac- H tion of the exptared Union gunboat Indianola, -and the running of the gauntlet by another tur- | reted monster at! Vick-burg, has obliterated for the presemtour visions of the probable early recapture of New Orleans, which wo indulged | in yesuerday evening. We shall now be com- | pelied to await the fate of this third vessel | which bas ventured below to give battle to our little fleet. Should she share the fate of her : predecessors, we may again revel 4n our hopes of the reeapture of.the Crescent cify.” Doubtless the Appeal tun't reveling yet—not much—over the capture of the “turreted mon- ster,” and,the “on to New Orleans,” prospect opened thereby. Tue REBELs FaLting Back.—Refagees who have arrived within our lines confirm the statement that the Re-el army is falling back from Fredericksburg, and being massed in the defences near Etchmond. The7 represent the entire force left at Fredericksburg on Sunday night to baye been only eight thousand. They also confirm the Times’ news that the gun- masking machinery and ordnance stores are being rapidly removed from Richmond into Gecvrgia ; that the withdrawal of families from the city has fully set in, and that sales of Prop- orty are being forced at aruinous loss. They also state that the acknowledged loss, deplored by cavalry soldiers in Richmond, sustained in the recent targshing Averill gave them, was between four and flye hundred killed and ‘wounded. Among the killed was Colonel La- | grange, of North Carolina. —_—e a7 The Goverament bas been within a few clays taking evidence from returned prisoners, ‘with a view of making oficial publication of the savage manner ia which eur captured mon i. ve been treated. a +9-A million and a quarter of dollar's worth O¢ legal tender notes were yesterday converted ico the National «five-twenty” loan.

(Confed ps per) writes March 7th: “At headquarters I learn that a strong sus- picion is entertained that the canal may prove a success, and a proper guard is kept in view being made tofrustraie any attemptof thekind, should it be undertaken by the enemy. It is very evident that our officers are looking for trouble from that quarter more than any where else, although there is not a Yankee below our batteries at the present time.” 4 He cays, also, that an army could be raised from the crews alone of the enormous transport federates have to defend Vieksburg. a@ Two hundred and thirty Confederate see, arrived in Baltimore yesterday, A large crowd of males and females gathered around the prisoners, and Jesse Hunt.

It provides that prize money shall be paid to the Navy Department, and by the Department credited to each officer, | seaman or marine,in the books, and paid to him, as his wages or salary is paid, by the paymaster.

Wiiness and the other lady, to prevent dis- turbing the boarders, made their beds on the floor. The prisoner said he wus tired, and the Witness consented te the request of the other lady that the prisoner might sleep on the floor with them if he behaved himself. In the course of the night the prisoner kept pulling at her clothes, and finally put his arms around her neck, and held her fast. She resisted him, and plead with him to be! e himself, and finally got rid of him by pulling his hair.
