In the ship yards of South Baltimore, from which the negro caulkers were driven Six OF seven years ago, at the instance of the white caulkers, there has been no suspension of work. The white caulkers, at whose insti- gation this movement was commenced, are at work earning $3.50 a day, while the mechanics of other branches, not directly interested in the matter, are idle, on a principle—to require their employers to discharge one certain class and take into employment another class. The re- sult of this movement has been indicated by the principal parties interested—the taking to the navy yard at Washington the Worcester, and the otber two boats of the Liverpool line to New York or Wilmington, to have the necessary work done on them. There are other vessels which would haye been repaired in Baltimore, but they will also be taken to T ports. ARREST OF COUNTERFEITERS.—The police of Brooklyn, N. ¥., have arrested Wm. Overton and son for counterfeiting fractional currency. Plates of the denomination of twenty-five cents were found in young Overton’s room, the work on which is finely done, but not entirely fin- ished when his operations were brought toa sudden close. As soon as Overton had been secured he was taken before United States Commissioner Jones, of Brooklyn, who com- mitted him for examination. The Overtons, it is said, are among the most skilful and accom- Plished of counterfeiters, haying made many ofthe most perfect imitations of the United States Treasury notes yet set afloat, as well as the best of the fractional currency. They are Englishmen by birth, and came to this country about nine years ago, since which time they have been continually and successfally em- ployed in their criminal Proceedings so lately brought toanend.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS. A General Caught im the Act of Stealing $82,000. General L. C. Baker, Chief of the Detective force of the War Department, having received information that an attempt would be made to rob the safe of Cot. Alberger, Depot Quarter- master at Lynchburg, Va., which contained a large amount of gold, silver, and Treasury notes, belonging to the Government, two de- tectives were dispatched from this city by Gen_ Baker to keep a sharp lookout on the premises in which the safe was located. Atacertain hour on Friday last Gen. Bris- coe, late Colonel of the 199th Pennyslyania regiment, who commands the Lynchburg mili- tary district, was seen by the detectives to en. ter the office of the depot quartermaster, which is im the Court-House building at Lynchburg, unlock the safe, take ont the money, amounting to about $82,000, place it under his coat, retire from the room and enter his own office, near by there. After reaching his own headquarters Gen. Briscoe locked the door of his office, and laid the money upon a table, but was speedily followed by the detec- tives, who broke the door open, and caught him in the act of firing the building to hide his guilt, by means of pieces of cloth sewed to- gether, and saturated with some combustible material. Gen. Briscoe was immediately taken in custody, when he sated in defence that he bad taken the money to prevent it falling into the hands ofa man named Lackey, post snut- ler, who, it appears from information m the hands of the authorities, was associated with Briscoe in a plot to rob the safe of the funds mentioned above. Some time ago this man Lackey approached Colonel Alberger, the post quartermaster, in whose charge the funds were, and made a Proposition to him to enter'into the plot to steal the money, urging as an inducement that they could blow open the safe, divide the spoils between Briscoe, Alberger, and himself, and circulate the report that the act had been cenmitted by robbers. Alberger declined this proposition; when Lackey further urged that it was all right with General Briscoe, who would simply convene a court-martial, of which he (Briscoe) would be president, and that Alberger would be acquitted of all blame in the matter, while the crime would be charged to a late rebel officer, the owner of the safe in which the money was kept. Lackey, failing to get Col. Alberger to enter into the plan, he managed to get an impression of the lock of the safe, with which he went to Philadelphia to get a key made, at the instance of Briscoe. In the meantime, however, and before the return of Lackey from Philadel- phia, Briscoe on some pretext or other, man- aged to obtain a loan of the original key of the safe from Col. Alberge from which he took an impression on a piece of wax. This ac- complished, he manufactured an awkward looking and rough iron key, which answered the purpose however for which it was de- signed, as is shown above. Lackey, in accordance with a plan between himself and Briscoe, was to return from Phila- delphia to Lynchburg on the very night of the day (Friday last) that Briscoe robbed the safe. This information being within the knowledge of Gen. Baker's detectives, one of them was despatched on horseback toa station on the Lynchburg railroad, with a description of Lackey, who was taken in custody upon the arrival of the train. Briscoe and Lackey were both immediate! y brought to Washington, and they are now oon- fined in the O14 (amien y-sount. ‘The key used by Briscoe in unlocking the safe, the wax upon which the impression was taken, and the charred cloth with which he at- tempted to fire the buildings, are now in the possession of Gen. Baker at his office in this city. Geu. Briscoe will be brought ont to-day be- fore Gen. Burnham's military commission to plead to the charges which will be brought against him. The working up of this detective operation is one of the best managed of Gen. Baker's many successful achievements in the detective line. ee Episco Refuse to Pray for the President. BISHOP WILMER SUSPENDED BY GEN. THOMAS An order has been issued from the head- quarters of the military department of Alabama which is likely to create a sensation among the members of the Protestant Episcopal Churches of that State. This church, as is well known, has an established form of prayer to be used for the President of the United States and all in civil authority. During the rebellion the prayer was changed to one for the President of the Confederate States, and se altered was used in the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. Since the overthrow of the rebel- lion the prayer has been omitted altogether in the Episcepal Churches of Alabama. This omission was recommended by Right Rey. R. Wilmer, Bishop of Alabama. These facts having been brought to the knowledge of Gen. Thomas, an order has been issued directing that the said Richard Wilmer, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese of Alabama, and the clergy of said diocese, be suspended from their functions, and forbidden to preach or perform divine service, and that their places of worship be closed until said Bishop and clergy return to their al- legiance to the United States Government and give evidence of their loyalty by offering to re. same the use of prayer for the President, and taking the oath prescribed in the amnesty proclamation. U. 8. SANITARY COMMISSION. Darius Forbes, Esq., having resigned his position as General Agent of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, Army snd Navy Ulaim Agency, central office in this city, Wm. F.

Witness knows that the took axes away from the gate which were in- tended for the prisoners. rs in relation to the dead the brook was washed away leave the ranks: Had seen guards give them water. All the prisoners were sent in the stockade first, including sick. There was an order that prohibited men being sent to hospital until they were examined by asurgeon. Stone- man’s men were searched near Castle Reed. The guards frequently fired off their guns during the. night. There wasan order pro- hibiting cuns being fired, and they took ad- vantage of the night. Wirz never went in to call the roll while witness was on duty under him. Some of the prisoners had watches, a es many in the stockade. The Confederates ght from the prisoners overcoats, pants, shoes, &c. Witness got a suit of clothes in July, 1565, when a lot of clothing came. The sergeants arms inside the stockade were navy Teyolyers. Witness recollects a lot of sanitary goods come to the stockade, and the paroled prisoners he thought got one suit each. Cross-examined by Col. Chipman.— Witness arrived at Andersonville lth February, 1864, assigned to duty under Capt. Wirz July 10th. Witness was only on guard twice. Did not know anything about the discipline of the mson previous to the lthof July. Witness Baa seen four or five men who had been shot carried out. Witness thinks that Wirz name Was attached to the order to shoot any one crossing the dead line. Witness usually spent two hours in calling the roll, from 9 to 11 o'clock. Saw but little about Wirz’s quarters. Witness sometimes took the word of the ser- eant of 90, that the squad was right when he new it was false. Wie did this because it was a disagreeable place. The place was crowded and the weather was hot. Wit- ness never smelt anything about the prison. if he did he did not Know it. It was the ser- geant’s duty to take the sick to the gate. Wit- ness has heard men say that their sergeant had refused to take them to the sick call, and then he would go to the Chief of Police and tell him to attend to it. The sick call commenced a lit- Ueafter nine. Witness never lost any man ex- cept one, &man named Streeter, and the first thing he knew Streeter turned upon the outside Wirz calied witness, abused him, told him to take the sergeant and pet him in the stocke for twenty-four hours. Witness put the sergeant in the stocks, but let him ont in about two hours, because that he considered himself as much to blame for the escape of Streeter as the sergeant. Wirz never shot, beat, kicked or abused 8 prisoner.of war to witness’ knowledge. itness had told men thathe bad seen Wirz take hold of men; he probably cursed them, because he generally spoke short and was a profane man. Witness bas taken eggs and onions to men who were friends to him, Witness had received money from the prisoners for vegetables. The sutler charged very high for his commodities, and witness sold to them cheaper than the sutler did. All the sergeants did this secretly. Wit- ness made money out of it, and so did the others. Witness conld not say whether the police kept the stockade clean in July and August. Witness did not know that his squads ever bad the rations stopped. Wirness thinks that sometimes the rations of some of the ‘squads were stopped. On one oceasion one man informed of a tnn- nelling operation and his squad shayed his bead when their rations were stopped. Wit- ness don’t think the rations were stopped half a dozen times. Witness saw one man who had rub away trom the hospital bitten by the dogs Confederate soldiers had been putin the stocks, and with a balland chain. Saw one Confede- erate soldier in the stocks a dozen times. Some- times a barrel would a peas over a man’s head. Wirz was absent from the last of July to the last of August, from duty. Davis duri: this time was im command. Witness coul not say that Wirz was not on duty during August. There were from thirty-three to thirty-five thousand prisoners there then. Wirz horse was ridden by Smith, Turner. and Stafford, but neither of these could well be taken for Wirz. Witness never heard of a man getting a furlough for shooting a prisoner, but had heard prisoners speaking of getting furs loughs.
