THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON OITY: | WEDNESDAY.............APRIL 1, 1863. Wa READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGS. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. { i | SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. { The Intelligencer has three and a half columns tc-day upon the « Monroe Doctrine,” apropos to the demand made the other day by a meet- ing of foreigners in New York, that the United States sball apply this doctrine in the case of Mexico. The Intelligencer points out that the Monroe declaration was intended to meet a particular contingency of events and passed away with the occasion which called it forth. , Under the head of “Northern Peace Men and their British Allies,” the Chronicle com- ments upon the extraordinary diplomatic tetter of Lord Lyons upon American af- faurs, which has somehow found its way into print lately, not much to the satisfaction of Lord L, we take it. OUR MILITARY BUDGET aes EXTENSIVE CAPTURE OF CONTRA- BANDISTS AND CONTRABAND GOODs. ae Se A Namber of Washingtonians inthe Party. egy Wetec Large Number of !ntercepted Letters. eg The schocner “Jane Morley,” (formerly Le Fouarril,) ot Baltimore, owned by Hokes, Zell & Co., arrived at the steamboat wharf to-day in tow of a tug, having been sent up from the dower river, where she was captured yesterday morning. She has been engaged in the contra- band traffic which finds its way between the rebels in Maryland und /irginia across the Potomac near the extrem :y of the peninsula between the Potomac and the Rappahannock. The party of twenty-five contrabandists cap- tured on board included several ex-Washing- tonians, of notoriety, we learn, whose names we do not publish until we can get a correct list, which we hope to do for our next edition, They are yet on board the Jane Morley, but will probably be remoyed to the Old Capitol to-nizht. The contraband goods captured makes a yery extensive pile on the wharf, and attracts much attention. It embraces a large amount of sup- plies, quinine, morphine, &c., Confederate uni- forms, buttons do., infernal machines of novel construction, army blankets, forty ca: of boots snd shoes, lucifer match s, soap, coffee, and 1 il bags, containing small pact nd some eighteen hundred letters to par- tues in Virginia and North Carolina. The letters in this mail, it is said, are of a character to seriously compromise various par- Ges in this city and in Maryland, and the de- velopments of the “underground” operations of the rebels, they disclose, will prove of mate- rial service to the Government. A smoking cap, dressing gown and slippers, gifts to Jeti. Davis from “Lady admire: Washington,’ were among the articles; also, a head-dress, a brilliantly colored Balmoral, and finely embroidered handkerchiefs (half dozen,) gifts to Mrs. Davis. The boxes are mostly consigned to the care of Trait, Saei & Co., Richmond, but bear also cipher designations, which, with the letters taken, will serve to show the real parties con- cerned in the trade. The capture altogether is a yery important one, and the number of persons Visiting the scene of the arrival to-day has caused a de- cided increase to the business of the street-cars running to the river. i A SENSEL CANARD, The semi-monthly issued story of the rebel evacuation of Richmond makes its appear- ance again. There is no probable reason why the rebels should abandon that point just now, and the story is undout adly as baseless as senseless. ASSIGNED Capt. Rawalla, of Gen. Sturgis’ staff, Chief of Ordnance, has been assigned so the staff of Major General Wool, Department of the East. Mrac n1evovs.—The Baltimore Sun paints up in sensation style the “touching scenes” at- tending the “banishment” to the South ot Mrs. Pairo and her daughter Alice, who, for disloyal practices, have been sent to Richmond via Staunton, The Sun has rather a time of it to | make out a case, and is obliged to admit that “throughout the whole trying scene Mrs. Pairo bore herself with remarkable composure,” but hastens to add that the prospective parting from her husband and home eyidently “pressed with cru¢hing weight on her mind.” The fact is she Was as “cool as a cucumber,” being one | of that stripe of women who glory in the noto- Tiety of such martyrdom. Some of her inter- cepted letters, as published in the American, tell the whole story. | ®7 The limit fixed by the proclamation of the President for the voluntary return, without punishment, of all absentees from the armies of the Union expired yesterday. These men mumber over one huadred thousand. They hereafter will be classed and punished as de- serters. PERSONAL. Hon.

Mrs. Joun Woov.—This most charming and versatile of comediennes, who has been the pet of New York for so many brilliant seasons, is playing a successful engagement at the Washington Theater. The opportunity of seeing her should not be lost. 7 Maj. Gen.

S27 The Secretary of the Interior has declined the execution of the joint resolution of Congress for the distribution of all the books and decu- ments possessed by Congress and published by their order among the members of the present Congress. The measure is impracticable as weil as illegal. It would give fifteen thousand Goeliars worth of books to each member. The #uthor and chief promoter of the measure—one of the members of the House—has applied for his sbare, but has not succeeded in obtaining it. &*-The British iron steam propeller Thistle, Which ran asbore on Sullivan's Isiand beaeh, was sold in Charleston recently for $80,000 essh. . eA Mr. Ritts, living near Hollidaysburg, Pa., recently lost within one week three chiil- dren by whcoping cough, and three more were very low. & Four persons were recently drowned by ih capsizing of a skiff, in which they were | ercesing the Ohio at Wheeling. wa The colored people of Philadelphia haye subscribed S3,/00 toward completing the organ- ization of negro regiments.

The result of the attack on Fort McAllister has not been considered so sati yas new haye intimated. Our leading artillerists haye just discovered that our guns do not carry powder enough: and it is stated on the best authority, that this Government has ordered | cannon,which, instead of the present maximum | 01 35 Ibs. powder, will bear the explosion of 60, | and possibly 70 ibs. A 459-pound shot driven | by 60 1bs. of powder, will be the most drsiructive | missile in Europe or America. his time, j Preparations to supply such guns are in pro- gress. So that France will find that the large- ness of ashot has had less to do with the failure of our vessels to destroy a Rebel strong- | hold, than the insufficient charge of powder. COLLAPSE BY STARVATION, Deseriers are coming in to ou? lines on the mnock with increased frequency, absolute starvation and hunger. | They say that the rebel army of the Rappahan- nock must fall to pieces for lack of adequate supphes in less than two weeks, and think thatas good a way as any for us to get rid of their force there isto “1et it alone severely.” Meantime, our army, by the report of those in whom we can rely fully, and who speak from knowledge, is improving in morale in a corresponding degree to the deterioration of | Lee's army. AN INVESTIGATION. | A number of oilicers haye been detailed as a board by the Navy Deprrtment to investigate certain alleged abuses in the shape of talse re- turns on the pay rolls of the boiler shop and copper rolling mill in the Navy Yard, whereby | some workmen received pay for time charged | as extra time which. itis alleged, was not made.

They report that movements strongly indi- cate the early evacuation of Richmond, though it is intended te be accompanied by a slow and sure process. One entire division of the rebel army arrived in Richmond last Tuesday, (as itis supposed) to protect the Confederates from any attack that may be made while the evacuation is taking place. The rebels have already commenced to move their large guns, and also their machinery from the machine shops at Richmond, from that city to Chattanooga. | } IMPUDENT EXPLOIT OF THE REB.- ELS AT WILLIAMSBURG. ag THEY STEAL PAST OUR PICKETS IN THE NIGHT AND OCCUPY THE PLACE SUBSEQUENTLY WITH LOss. peste eee YorxtTown, March 30,—Yesterday morning, about one hundred rebel infantry stole past our pickets in front of Williamsburg, and quietly occupied the place, before daylight. At dawn their cavalry in front attacked our pickets, who fell back upon the town. Here the infantry fired upon them, killing two and wounding five.

Before our reinforce- ments came up the enemy seized whatever they could and made good their escape. There has been a number of night alarms at Gloucester Point the past week, but no engage- ments haye taken place. THEY ARE DRIVEN OUT ARRIVAL OF A PRIZE.
