Ordered, That # person ca\ling himself Doctor Ives, a native of a rebel State, whoso brother, lately in the military service of tho United States, is now an officer 4m the robel army, and who pretends to be “a special representative of the New Yorx Hxratp for Washington | be arresied, and held im close custody at Fort Mc- “Henry, as a spy, and for violating the rules and regu- lations of this Department, in (his: that on Saturday» ‘the 8th day of February, 1862, against public and well kuown regulations for the safe transaction of Con q@ressiona) business, ho intruded himself into the War Departmont, and into the chambers where the Secretary and bis assistants were transacting business with meombors of Congress, for the purpose of spying and obtaining war news and intelligence in respect to Cabinet consultations, telegrams, &c., for publica tion, which he knew were not authorized to be publishod; and, having so intruded, le conducted him- self insolently, making threats to an Assistant Secretary, Peter H. Watson, of the hostility of the New York ‘Hxnarp against the administration of the War Depart- ment, unless he was afforded special privileges and fur- mished intoiligonce in tho Dopartment in respect to Cabinet consultations, telegrams, official commications, ‘and all news, tho moment it was received by the De- partment, aud in advance of all other papers. ~ ‘The War Departmont is the place whare the President, Gommander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and his suberdinate, the Secretary of War, and other public of- flcers, are earnestly engaged in the business of overcoming treason and rebollion against the government of th? United States. It is not a place where spios or traitors» or amy porsop but for public purposes, can be suffered to enter or harbor. Newspapers are valuable organs of public intelligence and instruction, and every proper facility will be afforded all loyal persons to procure, on equal terms, information of such public facts as may be properly mado known in time of rebellion; but, no mat- ter how usefu! or poworful the press may be, like every- thing cise, it is subordinate to national safety. The fate of an army,or the destiny of tho nation, may bo imperiled by a spy in the garb of a newspaper agent: ‘Tho nation is in conflict with treason and robellion, and may be throatened by foreign foes. The lives and for. tunes of twenty millions of people, and the peace and happiness of their posterity‘ in the loyal States, the fate of public liberty and republican government forever, are staked upon the instant issue, ‘Tho duties of the President, his Secretary, of every offi. ‘eer of the government, and eapeciully in the War Depart- ment and military service, are at this moment urgent— the most solemn and urgent that ever fell upon men. No newsgatherer, nor any other person, for sordia or trea- ‘aonabdle purposes, can be suffered to intrude upon them ‘at such atime to procure news by threats or spy out offi- eial acts which the safety’ of the nation requires not to be disclosed. Kor those reasons the aforesaid Ives has been arrested and imprisoned, and ali persons so offending will ‘be dealt with in like mann EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.

Commander Parrott thinks the stone vessels are excoodingly well placed, as they effectually block a deep and excellent passage to the north of Bat- Hlesnake Shoal. Capt. Dupont states:— “The department is misinformed, liufer, from a letter received last night, ay to the Isabel getting into Charleston by the main channel, where the previous fleet was sunk. Tho obstruction there is com- plete, and has not been removed by the last gales, the water breaking clear across. The Isabel got in by Mof- fitt’s Channel; and as that portion of it included be- tween Rattlesnake Shoa) and the shore has been blocked up by the second stone flest, the possibility of gotting into Charleston is stil more circumscribed, the only channels remaining being the Swarh and a portion of Moffitt’s, and I have never less than three vessels cover- ing them, and which now ride out the galos at anchor.” OPERATIONS ON THE LOWER POTOMAC. As the Stepping Stones was leaving the lowor flotilla yesterday morning, on her way upwards, the Freeborn and the Resolute were starting on a reconnoitering expe- dition at Aquia creek. A boat was sent off from each vessel, and on nearing the shore they were perceived by the rebels, who fired several shots at them, but without effect, One shot was fired at the Resolute, passing clos® toher stern, The boats then put back, and tho steamers. returned to their anchorage.

Having placed provisions and smalt stores on board the vessels of the lower flotilla, and supplied officers and men with money, the Stepping Stones cast off from the Freeborn at Liverpool Point at three o'clock thix morning. We passed the batteries without a shot being fired at us. Wm. Moody, seaman and Second Captain of the after gun on the Freeborn, has been appointed Mas- ter’s Mate, dated February 4. On Friday morning a launch loft Mattawoman creek, with stores for the Fifth Excelsior regiment. On reach- ing Stump Neck the battery on Cock Pit Point opened fire on her. This was followed up by a continuous fire from Je line of batteries, but though the launch kept the middle of the river, not a shot struck her. On reach. ing Liverpool Poiut, where the regiment is oucamped, they were fired upon from a new battery opposite, but all the shots fell short. ‘This is the firat time fire has been opened from that spot, and opinions differ as to whether there is a fixed battery there or whether the fire was from field pieces. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

It ‘was proposed by this to form an association of the peo- ple to furnish the curreney of the country and to have tho currency baged on gold and silver, which would pass in any partof the country. Av institution of this kind would be of vast service to the government. In regard to the national debt it would also be of great advantage ia uence on the current rate of interest, and bring out a large quantity of coin now boarded up. High rates of interest and exchange were a great damage to the coun- try. He wanted the country and peopie to get out irom under such a grinding oppression as Wall sireet.
