You will please send to these Headquarters, 8s soon As practieable, and from to time there- after, such copies of newspapers published in our Department as contain sentiments of dis- loyalty and hostility to the Government in any of its branches, and state whether such paper is babitual in its utterances of such sentiments. The persistent publication of articles calcu- lated to keep up hostility of feeling between the people of different sections of the country cannot be tolerated. This information is called for with a view to their suppression, which ‘Will be done from these Headquarters only. By command of Lieutenant General Grant. T.S. Bowrrs, A. A.G. NATIONAL BANKS. The Treasury Department has just published & circular tothe National Banks relative to designating numbers, as follows:—“The atten- thon of this office has frequently been called to the fhct that the number of a National Bank, as stated upon the receipts for bonds and upon other papers issued by the Treasurer, is not in all cases identical with the number given to | the same bank by the Comptroller of the Car- rency. It is therefore proper to state that snch difference in numbering is immaterial. The number used by this office is a designation for the convenience of this office alone; and al- theugh it wouid be desirably to have the num- bers used by the two offices correspend, this bas been found, for various reasons, to be im- practicable. OFFICEB'’S SERVANTS PAY. A cisim agency in Boston published a cir- cular stating that the pay department had al- lowed a claim for the increased pay of officer's servants for a part of the time previous to the 3d of March, 16, and that they would procure Asettlement of all similar claims. The atten- tion of the Second Comptroller having been called to this circular, he inquired of the Pay- master General whether any such claims had been allowed, and received a reply from the Paymaster General that no sucb claim had been paid within his knowledge. TREASURY DEPARTMENT. The following are some of the transactions of the Treasury during last week:-—The amount of fractional currency shipped by the United States Treasury to Assistant Treasurers and National Banks was €357,000.

The ‘otal amount issned up to date is #254,- O25. The disbursements of the Departinent were S16, 179,463.77. DEPOSIT RETURNS.

A New REPELLION THreatenep.—The Kentucky Kegislature is “on the rampage,” the Occasion thereof being that a white man, charged with the murder of a black man in Kentucky, was taken by order of General Fisk and a posse of colorea troops, trom the civil authorities and turned over toa military camp. The Legislature has taken the matter up, and one member, Mr. Gorin, declared that ‘we were under a centralized despotism, that the military authorities were seeking to degrade Kentucky through their malevolence; and he said that. “if we cannot get redress in any oth- er way, be was for resistance. even at the point ofthe bayonet, to determine whether we are freemen or slaves." A Mr. Cochran went still further. He denounced the Government, and said that “the community of traitors, with An- drew Johnson at their head, were rushing the country intoruin. The time had not yet come Tor open resistance; but when it did—when the authorities failed to redress these wrongs—he was for resistance to the death. He would Tather die a freeman than live a slave.” et zexs OF THE FOURTH WABD, TUBN OrT, TUKSDAY EVENING, AT OITY HALL, en moss, and as PATBIOTS ONLY, to make preperations fer the meeting of $M, end to endorse th n PATRIOTIC OOURBE or | _fel92% PRES'DENT JOHNSON.

SERENADE TO THE PRESIDENT. The friends of President Johnson's policy will meet at Wallsrd’s Hotel at 7 o'clock this evening, to serenade the President, as an ex- pression of their appreciation of his devotion to the UNION and the Constitution. sore- = THE FRED. DOUGLASS LECTURE ONCE MORK. ‘The originators of the disgraceful scheme to break up 3 respectable church organization tor the purpose of getting a prominent rostrum ty fulminate against the President the animosi- ues of “disaffected” politicians of the Wendeil Phillips school, find their situation so unenvi- able that they are resorting to all sorts of dodges to relieve themselves from odium. We say “scheme,” and wecharge deliberately upon the wire-workers im the affair—not the “lady Manigeis.”” who are put forward to pull the chestnuts from the fire for the cunning old po- liticai grimalkins behind the curtain—that they have aimed in this whole affair to gain posses- sion ota Washington pulpit of prominence to be used as @ foot-hold tera politico-religious anti-Administration crusade. The pretext that Fred Douglass was trotted out at the First Presbyterian Chureh pulpit under the auspices of white-hot radicalism to deliver his lecture simply to gain a few dollars for benevolent purposes is pure fudge. The Chronicle of yesterday lets the cat out of the bag in saying that it and its confreres are mak- ing this fight on “principle.” Itis nota matter of a charity benefit, or concerning individuals, but one of “principle.” We all understand what that word means in the mouths of the Fred-Dougiass- Wendell-Phillips- Chronicle tribe who are jus! now yelping against the President “on principle.” The virtuous Joseph Surface did not more osientatiously plant him- self on “sentiment” than dothe red-Douglass- Wendell-Phillips-Chronicle co-partners just now on “principle.” An offer was made by the officers of the church to give a money equivalent to the Col- ored Home if their pulpit could thereby be saved from the desecration threatened. As we stated on Saturday, this did not suit the pur- poses of the Wendell Phillipsites. It was cun- Bingly calculated that the old members of the church, who built it and made it what it is, disgusted by the facile surrender ot the house by its minister for such base purposes, would withdraw in a pet, leaving it an easy prey for the radical warriors. And intense is the howl of rage set up by this precious set of intriguers, through the columns of the Chronicle, en find- ing that the respecable and responsible members of that congregauon, who have borne the heat and burden in it for so many Iaborious years, utterly de- cline to fall into the trap set for them, and mean sturdily to maintain their rights. This precious plot to dispessess them is the secret of the intamous assaults made upon these gentle- men daily in the columns of the Chronicle. Neither the officers or congregation of the First Presbyterian Church have entered into any “crusade” against Dr. Sunderland, tor whom they have, we doubt sot, the kindest feelings, duspite the ridiculous capers he cuts; but if the Chronicle means to say that a large majority of the congregation does not seriously disapprove of his recent course in the matter of the Fred. Douglass lecture, that paper will doubtless be better informed ere many days. POOR WHITES OF ALABAMA. An agent of the Freedmen’s Burean, in a Teport to the Assistant Commissioner for Ala- bama, states that in his visits among the poor whites and freedmen of Bibb, Shelby, Jefferson and Calhoun counties of Alabama, he found great destitution among the whites. Their scanty supplies have been exhausted, and they now look to the Government alone for support. Many are without homes to shelter them. On one road leading to Talladega he saw four families who were living in the woods, with no better shelter from the inclemency of mid- winter than huts of pine boughs. (Quite a number, he states, are living in this manner, on the roads leading to the towns, most of whom are widows with families of children. The agent thinks that camps of widows and orphans will haye to be established, where, by bringing them together, they can be more readily supplied with the necessaries of life. VETO OF THE FREEDMEN’S BUREAU BILL. During the delivery of Mr. Yates’ speech in the Senate this afternoon, a message was re- ceived from the President communicating his objections to the ‘il for the organization of the yreedmen's Burean. The message had not been read at half-past three o’clock, as our second edition went to press. it is rumored: however, that it is a “straight-out” veto. MILITIA 1N THE SOU‘ HERBN STATES. The joint resolution introduced into the Sen- ate this morning by Hon. Henry Wilson, dis- banding the militia forces in certain States, and prohibiting their reorganization until author- ized by Congress, applies to the States of Vir- ginia, Nerth Carolina, South Carolina, Geor- gia, Florida, Alabama, Lonisiana, Mississippi and Texas. SPECIAL CABINET MEETING. A special meeting of the Cabinet was held at the Executive Mansion to-day. The session commenced at 10 o’clock, and continued until after one. All the members of the Cabinet were present. A few gentlemen had called to see the President before ten o’clock, but none were admitted to an audience. THE RICHMOND EXAMINER. The President, it is understood, has reyoked the order isened by Gen, Grant, suspending the publication of the Richmond Ezaminer, Mr. Poliard, the editor of the paper, having given earnest assurances that he would hence- forth conduct his paper more discreetly. GENERAL HOWARD RETURNED, Major General 0. O. Howard, Commissioner of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, returned to this city this morning, and has re- sumed the charge of the bureau. Gen.

Jay Cooke & Uo., for the purpose of organizing, when they took the oath of office “to support the Constitution of Maryland and the United States, and to per- torm faithtully the duties of corporators,” at the hands of Nicholas Callan, Esq. The following were present:—John Van Ris- wick, of Washington, assignee of An: wi linhl, W. E. Spaulding, and Henry D. Ovoke. of Washington; John Coates, McHenry Grat- ton, Dr. James Higgins, John M. Frazier, assignee Of Anthony Reybold, and George F. Needham, of Baltimore; Wm. Thomps n of kK. and Thos. Lansdale, of Montgomery county: Gideon L. Walker and S. F. Dickinson, of New York. The only absentee was Judge Tuck, of Annapolis. Mr. Thomas Lansdale was called to the chair and W. E. Spaulding elected secretary. The following officers were e lected for the term of two years:—John M. Frazier, of Baiti- more, President; W.H. Tuck, of Annapolis, Vice President; and Henry D. Cooke, of Wash- ington, Treasurer. A committee was appointed to draft by-laws composed of Messrs. Higgins, Dickinson and Van Kiswick. it was suggested that the route be at once surveyed, and the officers were clothed with power to employ an engineer to survey the route and report on the same to a future meet. ing. Mr. Walr also suggested that the company had as yet ..o charter to run into the District, and also thatthere was a proposition before Congress to establish a Navy Yard on the Chesapeake, and he saw no good reason why such yard should not be located at An- Lapolis, and he moved that the officers be re- quested to look to the interests of the company be! Congress, ich was adopted. Atter the transaction of some other business, not of public interest, the meeting adjourned to Wednesday, March 7th, at the same time. it is supposed that the canal wiil be about 20 miles long, for the most of the distance ina very level country, commencing probably at Biadensburg, or perhaps at a point as far down the Eastern Branch as Benning’s Bridge, and running across to Round Bay on the Severn River, about seven miles above Annapolis, crossing the Annapolis Railroad in the neigh. borhood of Crownsville. It is, however, not determined that the canal shall connect with the Severn, as South River can be reached and four or miles saved: but the difficulty will bethat by this route in going to Annapolis boats will encounter & rongh sea in rounding Thomas’ Point, on the Chesapeake. It may be, how- ever, Unat after reaching South River a short canal will be cut through the peninsula on which Annapolis stands to the city. The corporators appear to be solid business men, and judging from their action at the first meeting to-day, there is but little doubt but that the project will succeed —. 5 CRIMINAL Court, Judge Fisher.—On Satur- day, John Cavanaugh, convicted of burglary, Was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary at Albany.
