Putnam, ist Regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, Chief of Military Detectives aud Patrols at the Headquarters of the Mili- tary District of Washington, has by order of President Lincoln been appointed Provost | Marshal of the District of Columbia, in place | of Captain Henry A. Scheetz, removed. Uap- tain Putnsm has been ordered to report in | Person without delay to the Provost Marshal Genera! of the United States for instructions: Lieut. J. T. Potts, of the 6th regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, has been relieved from duty in the office of the Provost Marshal of the Mili- | tary Districtof Washington, (Col. Lagraham Sad ordered to report to Capt. Putnam for as- Gignment. | It is understood that the detective corps h«re- tofore under charge of Capt. Scheetz will be consolidated with the corps atthe headquar- | ters of the the Military Governor, and will be | directed by Lieut. Potts, the whole under the | immediate supervision of Capt. Putnam. These are excellent appointments. Captain Putnam is au officer of great energy and un- ®werving integrity, and has all the require- ments to fill this responsible position. His gallantry in the field has earned for him merit- | €d distinction, and is well attested by the empty coat sleeve he wears. Lieut. Potts has been on duty in Col. Ingra- am’s office for several months past, and has hhad charge of an important branch of the duties of the office. He is a quiet and determined Tan, and the detective corps could not be in | better hands. ABBIVAL FROM PORT ROYAL. The steamer Gen. Hooker arrived here last wight from Port Royal, having on board about one hundred Government mules. On the up- | ‘ward trip the Hooker was run into by a barge, ‘which damaged ber stern considerably, but ‘pot sufficiently to disable her. The barge St. Nicholas, from the same place, eached here this morning, bringing up battery Hi, of the ist Rnode Island artillery. The guns ©f this battery were sent to the arsenal, and the ‘men will be placed in one of the forts. Shortly after the arrival of the St. Nicholas, ‘the barge Cedar Hill reached the whart from Port Royal with Government wagons and forces, which it was deemed inexpedient to e@end to the White House ‘These vessels were all loaded at Port Royai ome four or five days ago, and they bring no xews in addition to that already published. COURT-MARTIAL. The following officers have been detailed tor a Court-Martial, which is now in session @t Alexandria: Capt. Robt. Clarke, ist D.C., President; Capt W. F. Steele, 2d D. .; Capt: | -A.K.

C., Judge Advocate. This court it is understood, 1s convened | Principally for the trial of deserters from the | dront, and it is expected that it will continue | ts sessions for some months, the number to be | tried being some hundreds. Tae OrgRa.—The performance ot Don Juan | Jast night was excellent. Don Juaz has been f£ung by this company three or four times here during the past winter and spring to crowded houses always, and last night testified how ‘well the music lovers of Washington appre- ciate its exquisite harmonies. The audience dast night was one of the most numereus we remember to have seen at Grover’s during the eutire season. Hermann made a great hit as Leporello, which characteris admirably suited to his fine acting and magnificent voice; and fhe other principal singers were almost equally cod in their several roles. There is a general @esire expresced that this admirable company may be engaged tor another week at least if Dianager Grover can so contrive it.

TO LATEST FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. aie CANNONADING HEARD AT TWELVE O'CLOCK YESTERDAY, oe MOVE NT OF CORPS, eee REINFORCEMENTS FOR GRANT. sce scr aS ae The steamer Silver Star, which left the White House at 9 o'clock yestetday morning, arrived here at 12 to-day, bringing up dispatches from Gen. Rucker and other officials. Considerable cannomading was heard at the White House when the steamer left, but it was not known whether a general engagement was in progress or not. A number of rebel prisoners were on their way from the front to the White House. The wounded of the engagement of Tuesday were being bronght down, but none of them had been placed en board the hospital steamers Later. The Keyport arrived at the Sixth street | whart at 1 o'clock this afternoon, having left the White House at noon yesterday. She bronght up the mail of Baldy Smith's division Parties who came up on her state that heavy cannonading was heard there when they left, indicating that an engagement was in progress, A cavalryman who came in from the front to the White House, reported that the 6th Corps was engaged, having brought it on by a rapid and sudden movement from the left to the right. The 10th and 18th Army Corps, which haye consolidated, have safely reached Gen: Grant. Several regiments of negro troops, doubtless 8 portion o, Butler’s forces, were being landed at the White House when the Keyport left. Tke hospital steamer Connecticut was en- gaged in taking on the wounded that had been brought down from the front, but she had not received & sufficieat number to warrant her IMPORTANT THE SIXTH The troops were enthusiastic, and felt con- fident of defeating Lee and marching trium- phantly into Richmond. FROM PORT ROYAL. SEED THE REPULSE OF GENERAL BIRNEY. Se ees A letter from Port Royal, dated May 2th, Teports all things quiet there in the fleet off Charleston. “The army, however,” says the letter, “succeeded in fitting out an expedition to ascend the Ashepoo and South Edisto riy- ers, and cut the Savannah and Charleston railroads; but in executing it were met by a small party of rebs, who succeeded in stop- ping our men and torced them to abandon the expedition. We lost the Boszon, a fine steam- er, about a dozen men, and 100 horses. Gen. Birney commanded the expedition. Three gunboats accompanied him. Gen. Foster came down in the Fulton and took command ofthe Department.” * * ¥* «Everything at Charleston is quiet, and will remain so un- less Johnny Reb opens the ball.” PRACTICE V8, PROFESSION. The chief counts in the indictment against President Lincoln drawn by the recent con- vention of malcontents assembled at Cleveland, Ohio, were leveled against arbitrary arrests, and urging the necessity ot extirpating fraud and corruption trom governmental affairs. Yet, strange tosay, the candidate nominated by that convention for the first office known to the Constitution made, of his own motion, the first arbitrary arrest that has grown ont of the war! We here refer to Fremont’s arbitrary | suppression of the St. Louis newspaper that was first taken in hands for exerting disloyal influence, or, rather, influence tending toshake public confidence in his (F remont’s) adminis- tration of the affairs of the Military Department of Missouri. Next, it turns out that the convention's anti- fraud and corruption resolution, among others, ‘was reported or fathered by no other person than the noted individual who was first tried, convicted and dismissed from the United States military service under charges of gross fraud and peculation upon the Government and army. That is, since the rebellion began. We submit, that these facts speak volumes with reference to the true charaeter of the mal- contents’ convention, and the utter worthless- ness of their professions to catch the votgs of the dear people. DEE FREISCHUTZ WITH CARL FORMES as CasPar.—The opera tor to-night at Grover's is Der Freischutz with Carl Formes (whois un- doubtedly the greatest living male musical ce- lebrity of the world,) in his great part of Cas- par. The opportunity of hearmg this great opera with Formes in this leading partisa rare one indeed, and will be duly improved by the musical community. His rendition of the part of Plunkett (originally written for him by the composer of Martha,)on Wednesday night was superbly, grandly good and warmed up the audience toa high pitch of enthusiasm. We hope to hear his grand rich organ in others of his great parts, and certainly advise all who can, to witness his performance to-night of the part of Caspar, a part in which he has nori- val. M’le Canissa will make a charming Annette with her fresh, pure, and musical voice; and the other parts of this master-piece of Von Webers will be in good hands, as will be seen by the cast announced elsewhere.
