We stated yesterday that we had iaformation that some important military movement was on foot; but did not feel authorzied to develop it in detail. Nor do we now feel authorized to give any details of it, because the movement is nota completed one; but our advices from McClellan's army, and from Burnside’s army, and from Pope’s army, show that they are all ocupying strong positions, and are pre- pared for any movements that the rebels may make. The most important information, of course, comes from General Pope’s army, because the tebels, according to our latest advices, are mass- ing large bodies of troops all along in front of his positions. But the activity of that officer is equal to the emergency, and he is not likely to be taken by surprise. Up to last accounts there haye been no battles, The news from the Southwest is important. The rebels are moving in forve from Chattanooga upon Knoxville and Richmond. General Garrard, with aforce of about seven hundred men, on Tuesday attackod’ Scott's Louisiana cavalry at Laure; Bridge, near Linden, and, after a desperate fight, defeated and partially routed them. Two steam- ers were burned by the rebels near Duck creek, fifty miles above Fort Henry. The crews were taken prisoners and paroled. The whole of the stores, with which one of the vessels was laden, and all the furniture and plate were removed by the rebels previous to the destruction of the boats. A portion of Jeff. Thompson's forces were on the 16th routed near Memphis. Clarksville is ceported to have been captured by a rebel force, who are advancing upon Forts Henry end Donel- son. This last report has been confirmed. The report that General Nelson had been cap- tured by the rebels turns out to be entirely faise. General Corcoran arrived at Baltimore yester- day, and met with a glorious reception from the loyal citizens of that place. He is be in Philadel- paia to-day and this city to-morrow afternoon. The preparations made in his honor are set forth in another portion of this day’s Hara.p. A large number of returned prisoners—captured officers of the Union army—have arrived at Wash- ington, en route for their homes. A list of their uames is published with our Fortress Monroe cor- respondence. We have news from the South via Richmond to the 16th instant. The rebels threaten retaliation for those persons who were hung by the Ninth Ohio Volunteers as accessories to the death of General Robert McCook. The tone of the rebel pr The meeting of the rebel Congress is an important item of the news. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ‘The steamer Champion, from Aspinwall, arrived here last evening. She brings interesting news from the Ishmus of Panama, and from Central and South America generally. There were some pros- pects of a restoration of peace between the rival factions in the State of Pauuma, but some doubts Whether peaceful counsels will prevail. The new Governor, Diaz, is making strenuous efforts to improve and strengthen his army, and for this purpose had given notice of a draft of citizens for the defence of the couatry.

We have intelligence of most important mili- tary movements throughout the North and South. According to information received from all the loyal States, regiments are being everywhere organized, under the new call of the President, with zeal and rapidity, and of the best fighting material that the country can produce. These regiments are being pushed forward to the seat of war with great vigor and energy; and ac- counts from Washington state that the scenes of last year, of troops pouring by thousands into the national capital, are now being re-enacted, with this difference—that, although the material of the soldiers of last year was so fine and so ex- cellent, yet the experience of the last eighteen months, in giving a military cast to the people of the North, has been such that the troops now going to the wars are even more soldierly in ap- pearance than those who preceded them. We shall soon have a million and a quarter‘of men in the field, and when the new recruits and regiments are intermingled with the half a million of veterans who have stood the brunt and the fire of war, they will become excellent soldiers. Now, these movements are important and in- teresting, but they are known to all of us; but the movements of the rebel armies of the South are not so patent, except toa few, who make it their business to pursue such information. Since the masterly retrograde movement of General McClellan from the peninsula, where he removed an army of one hundred thousand men, with all its war materiel, in the most splen- did style, the greatest activity has prevailed tn the rebel army, not only at Richmond, but all along their line of defence, extending out to Chatta- nooga; and the fact that McClellan’s army, in its movement down the peninsula from Harri- son’s Landing, was not molested in’any way, clearly indicates that the rebels are massing their troops to the north and northwest of Rich- mond, threatening Gen. Pope, and even Wash- ington itself. There is no doubt, from the tactics of the rebel commanders, and from information given elsewhere in this morning’s paper, that they have now in front of Pope not less than a quarter of a million of men, extending all along the line of the Rapidan and Rappahan- nook and the Virginia Central Railroad; and the telegrams from Nashville, received yester- day afternoon, bring us a repetition of the re- port of the evacuation of Chattanooga, which has so long been threatened by General Buell. The rebels are moving towards Knoxville and Richmond from that extreme point; so that, within a very short period of time, we may ex- pect to see concentrated in Virginia, between Richmond and Washington, and along the line from Cumberland Gap to Port Royal, below Fredericksburg, on the Rappahannock, an army of three to four hundred thousand rebel soldiers, Our readers will recollect that we published, immediately after the evacuation of Yorktown, a very significant article from one of the Rich- mond papers, foreshadowing all the movements of the rebels on the Chickahominy and all the movements they are now making on the line of the Rappahannock and Rapidan, and as far west as Cumberland Gap. Now, from the news we have of the movements of the rebel Richmond army, under Lee, and of Bragg’s army, at Chat- tanooga, it appears that they are now endeavor- ing to carry out the programme indicated by the Richmond paper in May last. In view of these important movements and events it is fortunate for us that we are collect- ing an army of a million and a quarter of men to be immediately put into the field. And, al- though the rebels may threaten certain points, and cause some temporary alarm {n the public mind, yet the whole programme of the admin- istration is so perfect that, if it be but properly carried out, it must result in the most complete and triumphant success of the Union cause. Important Cuaos or Porrricat Ingas iv Exouanp.—The American rebeljion has not only broken up the old party landmarks in this country, but brought about a complete confusion of political ideas in England. It is difficult now to kaw where an English radica! stands. Take, for exautple, the speeches of that contemptible little adven- turer Roebuck, as well as the articles of the English radical Journals in our regard. Can anything be more bitter or rancorous than the hostility which they exhibit towards the North? They, the quondam admirers of a republican form of goverament, and the partisans of “the great experiment,” as they called it, have be- come our worst enemies, and would deny us the time to show that “the great experiment” has not proved a failure. What does this argue? Either that material interests completely domi- nate principle in the English mind, or that Roe- buck and the whole tribe of literary Bohemians with whom he is associated have been bought up, body and breeches, by Confederate gold. To whichever conclusion we come, the continu- such a state of things is likely to do confuse and demoralize the masses in sod ‘han any other influenee that we know . In losing their political faith they cannot fail to lose a clear perception of their interests. ‘This isthe point to which their aristocratic rulers are desirous of bringing them; and it must be owned that the radical press, aided by such hireling apostates as Roebuck, ara doing their best to aid them Garibaldi and the Italian Questtion—A Threstencd European Oonvulsion. There is a power amoug the great Powers of Burope which they find it somewhat difficult to restrain as the representative of liberty and the people. It is Garibaldi, the “Red Shirt,” the embodiment and the apostle of young Italy. Becoming impatient of the foggy diplomacy of Louis Napoleon, and %yith the unsatisfactory acquiescence of “ye Cabinet ef Turin, the “ Red Shirt”’43 up again, and has commenced in the Iskind of Sicily the "work of mustering the nucleus of an Italian army for the settlement of the Roman and Venetian questions, in de- fiance of the French Emperor’s equivocal and temporizing arrangements, and in spite of the protestations of King Victor Emanuel. Represented. as having only around him s contemptible posse of “two hundred, or a few hundred infatuated followers,” Garibaldi, in his speech to them concerning Rome and Italy, has created a decided sensation in every Cabi- net of Europe. Kings, Queens and Emperors have not forgotten that it was only some two years ago that this strange and unpurchaseable man, Garibaldi, with a handful of followers, invaded and revolutionized the Island of Sicily, and, quickly following up this achievement, re- turned to the mainland, upset the kingdom of Naples, and anfiexed it to the young kingdom of Italy. Aceordingly, while the crowned heads of Europe and their agents and emisea” ries speak contemptuously of the present movement of Garibaldi as a miserabte affair: they cannot conceal their apprehensions that it may possibly light up the combustibles of a Continental conflagration. In the hearts of the people of Italy Garibaldi isthe power belifud the throne greater than the throne itself.’ He understands this, and doubtless is well assured that if driven to the extremity of armed hostility to the King, the hero of the “Red Shirt” may start with his hand- ful of men from his island, as Napoleon the First set out from the Island of Elba, and rally the nation around him as he advances to its capital or upon the Pope and his protectors at Rome. Granted that there is a very nice under- standing existing between Louis Napoleon, the Pope, King Victor Emanuel and Austria for the maintenance of the Holy Father in his tempo- ral puppet show at Rome yet a little longer, it is by no means certain that this unnatural armistice can be sustained against the uplifted hand of Garibaldi. Against Louis Napoleon and his temporizing coalition Garibaldi may fail, even if supported en masse by the people of Italy, unless they shall be strengthened by a general Continental popular revolutionary up- rising from France to Hungary. This is the very danger which now menaces not only the existing Italian compromises of Louis Napoleon, but, through them, the over- throw of his dynasty. The generation has nearly passed away which was involved in the last general European convulsion; but the new generation, inheriting its ideas and its legacies of popular rights and wrongs, is ripe for another trial against the exploded “divine rights of kings.” We think it altogether probable, there- fore, that, unless there shall be some solution of the Roman question very soon satisfactory to the general sentiment of Italy, Garibaldi has the means and the power, and will employ them, to light the fires of another general European revolutionary convulsion, as the only way re- maining for the extrication of Italy from her present intolerable French, Papal and Austrian entanglements. This rebellion of ours, in cutting off the great commercial staples of our Southern States, has pressed heavily upon France. It has immensely curtailed the employments of her people and the receipts of her treasury. Thus, between the preseure of their taxations, the lack of employ- ment and the want = bread, the revolutionary elements of France are becoming restless, im- portunate and menacing in their movements. To keep them quiet Louis Napoleon has been amusing them with his internal improvements, his decorations of Paris and bis expeditions to Mexico and Cochin China. He has perhaps, too, been restrained from intervention in our affairs as much because of his distrust of French republicans and Orleanists as from the diffi- culty of a satisfactory coalition with England. We thus conclude that Garibaldi has with in his reach the efements of another French revolution, and with ita general uprising of the European people, from the Rhine to the Danube, to say nothing of the present turbu- lent masses of the Russian empire. At all events, for some time to come there is quite enough of employment and danger sug- gested to Louis Napoleon in the present threatening movements of Garibaldi, and no danger, therefore, of European intervention in behalf of Jeff. Davis. We have a powerful friend and ally in the intelligent and sagacious Emperor Alexander; but, under the existing complications of the Roman question, we have, perhaps, at this moment, even a more powerful ally in that plain and honest soldier, that idol of the Italian people, that uncrowned monarch of the “ Red Shirt,” Garibaldi. With that little group of volunteers around him in the Island of Sicily we recognize the nucleus of an army sthich may be strong enough to shake the thrones of Europe to their foundations; and, under this belief, we conclude that honest Garibaldi has already done enough to render “ assurance doubly sure” against European in- tervention in behalf of Jeff. Davis and his dissolving Southern confederacy. Long live Garibaldi!

We extract to-day from the Tribune of yes- terday a batch of revolutionary letters, writ- ten by three abolitionists, one of them, D. Plumb, being in prison for his disloyalty, where the other two—Wendel! Philliny and Horace Greeley—ought to be. The usual way with governments is to strike first at the heads of revolution. In this case the order is re- versed, and the tail is seized, while the chief offenders, who have influenced and inspired the herd of followers, ere allowed to go at large. In Shakspere’s day, under a monarchy almost absolute, the rule wae, that what was but “a oholeric word” whea uttered by the captain, was, in the mouth of the common soldier, “ flat blasphemy.” In our own day, and in a repub- llc in which all men claim to be equal, the same rule appears to hold good, and the great criminals go unwhipt of justice, while the minor offenders are snapped up with flery zeal. Mr. Plumb, writing from the Fifteenth ward station house, avows his disloyalty, and, by his admissions, fully justifies the action of the offi- cer who arrested him. He says he did “state that it was wrong for the government to adopt methods to force men into the war whose con- sciences would not lef“them fight om such policy”—e@ policy which had “wasted our armies, consumed a hundred millions of money, and protracted the contest through weary months without any definite and clear gajn to the Union.” Where did Plumb get hold of these ideas, so discouraging to enlistments in the Union ai From the speeches of Wendell Phillips and the articles and letters of Horace Greeley. For proof of this assertion the reader need not go back very far. The letter of the chief orator of the abolition- ists, which we publish to-day, is not at all dif- ferent from his speech, though he objects tech- nically to the charge of “discouraging enlist- ments.” It is true he does not say in so many words to the people—“Don’t enlist.” Neither does Plumb. But Phillips does what is more effectual, for he says the war cannot succeed, and that it ought not, for it is “a murderous war.” He admits that he has been a “disunion- ist” for eighteen years, and “sought to break this Union,” and then proceeds to say:— L accept Webster’s sentiment—Liberty and Union now and forever,one and tuseparable.” Gladly would I serve that Union, ‘giving it musket, sword, voice, pen—the best have. the Union, which Kas for twenty-five years barred me from its highest privileges by demanding an oath toa pro-slavery constiluiion, still shuts that doer in my face; and tnis administration etl to.a policy which, 1 think, makes cecry life now lest im Virginia and every dollar now spent there uiter waste. I cannot conscientiously support such @ Union and administration. Here he uses Webster’s words in a totally different sense from that great statesman, from whose mind nothing was further than abolition. Webster meant “liberty” to the white man. Phillips means liberty to blacks; and he goes on to say that for a Union whose cardinal prin- ciple is the abolition of slavery he would wield musket, sword, voice, pen; but for a Union whose principles are to be found in the present “pro-slavery constitution” he is de- barred from fighting—lives lost for it are “utter waste,” and he declares he cannot support such a Union nor the administration which sustains it. Is it net clear, therefore, that Phillips, as well in his letter as in his speech, does, in the language of Horace Greeley, “condemn the struggle now making for the Union as unprincipled and futile, and does discourage enlistments in the Union armies?” And what is the position of Greeley himself? He has the impudence to write an offensive let- ter to the President—as offensive as the corre- spondence of the rebel General Lee returned by General Halleck—a letter which he pre- tends he has been commissioned to write by the whole population of the Northern States. He entitles it “The Prayer of Twenty Millions.” The action of the three tailors of Tooley street, who assembled in a garret and passed a resolu- tion with the preamble, “Whereas, we, the peo- ple of London,” &c., is modesty itself compared with the letter of Horace Greeley, in which he claims to utter the voice of twenty millions, when it is but the shrill voice of a miserable demagogue in a garret in Spruce street, of no more weight than one of the speeches of babbling Thersites, in the Grecian army. It is the President himself, and not an abolition politician, who is entitled to speak the voiceof the people. “We require of you,” quoth Greeley to the Chief Magistrate. The motto of Danton, in the French Revolution, was, “Audacity, audacity, still audacity.” Without the dignity, intellect er power of a Danton, Greeley imitates his audacity, but. in such a “forcible-feeble” style as to provoke a laugh. Again, he says:—“ We think you are unduly influenced by the counsels, the representations, the menaces,” &c. “We complain that the Con- fiscation act wich you approved is habitually disregarded by your generals, and that no word of rebuke from you, &c., while Halleck’s No. 3, forbidding fugitives from slavery to rebels to come within his lines, with scores of like ten- dency, have never provoked even your remon- strance.” Like Mr. Plumb, Greeley spreads himself on “Halleck’s No. 3,” though that General has long since explained that his ob- ject was to keep spies out of his lines, and the order was issued before the passing of the con- fiscation act. Again says Field Marshal Greeley, “We complain that a large proportion of our regular army officers, with many of the volunteers, evince far more solicitude to uphold slavery than to put down the rebellion.” Is not this libel of the army and the government dis. couraging enlistments with a vengeance? In paragraph seven of his letter Greeley says the insurrectionary slaves at New Orleans were “murdered,” and throws the blame on the President, because he did not make knowa the Confiscation act. The President did issue his proclamation last July, and what more could he do? Is this foul seditious libeller to be tolerated by the War Department, when 80 many small fry are moshed by its orders? Finally, Greeley says that “all attempts to put down the rebellion are preposterous and futile,” unleas the President abolishes the con- stitution and abolishes slavery; for that “we cannot conquer ten millions of people united in solid phalanx against us.” If this be true here is no use in enlistments, and wot only Phillips, but Greeley bimself, “condenyns the struggle now making for the Union as uyprinu- cipled and futifé, and discourages en!istments in the Union armies.” He is condemned out of his own mouth, and ought to be arrested immediately, or all who are now in prison for disloyalty ought to be immediately released. All the evil that has happened to our armies has arisen out of the intermeddling of the radi- cals with the army—firat with the army of General Scott, and then with the army of MoClellan--dividing it and stopping enlist- ments, tll they have brought disaster after EW YORKK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1862 ‘ WEWS FROM ‘WASHINGTON. disaster upon the campaign. For thove calami ties Fessenden, Sumner, Wilson, Wade, Wea- dell Phillips and Horace Greeley are responsi- ble. Thirty years ago they and their faotion entered into a conspiracy with the aristocracy of Englaud to break up this Unioa, on the ground that it contained slavery; and now, when the dividing wedge is driven home, and the process of disintegration is in operation, the British oligarchy show their hand by de- claring in favor of slavery and the South. Thus the leaders of the abolition party are the fellow conspirators of the foreign enemies of the Union, and are at the same time playing into the hands of its domestic enemies, Waraunaro,": August 20, 1808. mm, edmwscOE OY wasn 47% General Burnside is here. a HON.

VISIT OF THE NEW ORLEANS DELEGATION TO MB. SOULE. Permission has been given by tho Secretary of War to the New Orleans delegation now here—Judge Koselius, Dr, Coltman and Mr. Bullitt—to visit Mr. Soule at Fort Lafayette. The future disposition of Mr. Soule may be affected by the report made by these gentlemen of the attitude he is willing to assume towards the government, ARRIVAL OF THE RELEASED UNION OFFICERS. ‘The arrival of the released Union officers from Rich- taond has been the principal feature here to-day, One hundred and sixty-five of them came in one party, and to-night others have come, As yet they are on parcler awaiting intelligence that the rebel officers for whom they are to be exchanged have been delivered at Vicksburg, They are all @axious to returs to duty, Their accounts of the treatment of Cuion pri- seners in the South are heart sickening.

RELEASE OF PAYMASTER FOLSOM. ~ Major George Foleom, Paymaster of Volunteers, whe was temporarily arrested on a charge of withholding specie belonging to the government, has been released. The amount of specie in his possession is only about twelve hundred dollars, which sum is but « fraction of the amount allowed paymasters for the purposes of making change: The Treasery balance against Major Folsom ts quite large; but he as. sorts that he has vouchers to meet all bis liabilities, and his accounts ‘were just ready te be put in before the recralt- ing officer when his arrest was made, Thore is no doubs that misapprehension of facts was the cause of the arrest. He is now released, and is engaged in arranging his s@ counts. Vouonrzenina «pRoM§ =Larcu Estasiise- Ments—Provisiony FoR Soupmns’ Famiuies.— In another column will be found a dooument which is caiculated to do great good in the way of example just at the present time. It is an agreement signed by the com- positors of the New York Hrracp, binding them to tax themselves to raise bounties to be paid to-the unmarried men amoug them who may enlist or be drafted, and to make a,weekly allowance to the families of such of their mar- rled members as may be left unprovided for. For the first of these objects an assessment of two per cent a week is to be made upon each compositor’s total earnings, the assessment to be retained by the cashier every Saturday, and to be paid by him over to the treasurer of the fund—the first assessment and collection to be made on Saturday, August 23, and to be con- tinued until the draft quota shall be filled. For the fund for the relief of the families of married compositors who may. enlist a new assessment is to be made, commencing on the Saturday after the draft, and to be levied as follows:— For one or two volunteers or conscripts taken from the list, one per cent; for three, four or five, two per cent; for six, seven or eight, three per cent; for nine or ten, four per cent. Un- married men having parents or relatives de- pendent on them for support are to receive the same proportionate amount as the families of married men; but in such cases the volunteer is not to receive the bounty raised by the first assessment. The patriotic spirit evinced by these arrange- ments reflects great credit on the compositors of our establishment as a body. And we have to add another fact, which shows how little they weigh their own interests against their duty to the country. Long before any idea of raising this fund was mooted nearly thirty of our printers, all receiving from fifteen to five and twenty dollars a week, volunteered into regi- ments leaving the city, and have since been do- ing good service in the field. It is but due to these gallant fellows that we should publish their names, which we accordingly do, hoping that the example thus set will have a beneficial influence on other establishments employing a number of bands. We must not omit to add that the above ar- rangements are confined exclusively to one de- partment of the Heratp, it being a matter of just pride among our compositors that they are in a position to make ample provision for the families of such of their members as may be taken away to the war. The same feeling exists among our other employes. Some of them have either themselves, or in the persons of their nearest relatives, already contributed their quota to the ranks of our brave Union defenders. Should the draft make a further call upon them, we will answer for it that they will neither seek for substitutes nor allow the families of their absent associates to look to other sources for relief.

Such an order is regarded by some ef the authorities as unjust te those who have faithfully adhered to the parole given by correspondents.

ORDER IN REFERENCE TO THE RENDITION OF ACCOUNTS BY OFFICERS AND AGENTS OF DYE TREASURY DR- PARTMENT. Madison Cutts, Second Comptroller of the Treasury, ‘with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, has issued a circular to the following effect:— ‘The act of Congress ayproved July 17, 1862, entitled “Am act to provide for the more prompt settiement of the ac- counts of disbursing officers,” directs as follows:—"Thas from and aftdr the passage of this act any officer or agent * of the United States who shall receive public money which he is not authorized to retain as salary, pay or emolument, shali render bis accounts monthly’ instead of quarterly, as heretofore, and such accounts, with the vouchers ec seary to the correct and prompt settlement thereo!, shill be rendered direct te the proper accounting ofteer of the treasury, and be mailed or otherwise forwarded to their proper ad- dress, within ton days after the expination ef each successive month Aud, in case of the non receipt at the Treasury of any accounts within ® rev sonable and proper time thereafter, the officer whose accounts wre in default shall be required to furnish Ovr Manvracrurers anp THE’ War.—War has ita benefits as well as its burdens. During the past year all our manufactures, with the ex- ception of those of which cotton is the raw material, have increased and improved in an unprecedented degree. Particularly in the in- vention and manufacture of weapons of war is this remarkable progress observable. Our pro- hibitory tariff will still further develope our manufactures by closing our markets against European competition. We use very little manufactured goods in this country which we cannot make better and cheaper than Euro- peans, or do very well without. As our manu- factures increase in number and improve in method they will be greatly reduced in price. The peculiarity of the genius of this country is not only to improve, but to cheapen every- thing. In a very few years, then, we shall | satisfactory evidenco of having complied with manufacture for the world, insiead of relying, | ‘he, Prov De ae Rng dcingheet edicee aha ‘be as before, upoa the manufacturers of France and England. Now is the time, then, for European manufacturers to emigrate to this country and take advantage of this free, fresh field. They can bring their machinery with them if they like, though we can supply them with better machinery at the shortest notice. If they prefer it, they can bring along their operatives, also, without any fear of starvation or scarcity. Thus there is no reason why an English or French manufacturer could not have his entire establishment in full operation here, with the same workmen and machinery as in the old country, within a few weeks’ time after he sets foot upon our shores. Rumors of war need not deter him, for the North is so very little affected by the war that a stranger here would suppose us to be at peace with our- selves and all the world, were it not for the re- eruiting stations and the prospect of a draft. Foreigners not naturalized are not drafted, however, and so that would be no hindrance, even if the war were not sure to be ever before many months, Therefore the European manu- facturers and their employees have their choice: either to starve in England or France or make fortunes in America. deemed @ defaulter and be subject to all the jeusities prescribed by the sixteenth section of the act of Auguss 6, 1846, to provide for the bettef organization of the Treasury, and for the collection, safe keeping, traveler and disbursement of the public revenue. | Provided that the Secretary of the Treasury may, if in hie opinion the circumstances of the case justify aud require it, extend the time hereinbefore prescribed for the rem- dition of accounts, And provided. further, that pe'ti herein contained shall be co:#irued to restrain the of avy of the Departments from requiring euch other re- turns or reports from the offtcer or ageut subject to the control of such hoads of Nepartments ae the public interest may require.” This ology includes ali officers of every «ide whitovery whether in active service or not, and Tam nxt at libert, to @ any exceptions, unless as auth rized by law have therefore to require that all officers or agents of the War and Navy Departments, as also of the Indian and pe = sion branches 0 the Iute:ior Deparunent, shall reucer their accounts direct, in due compliance with the act of July 17, 1863, to the pi w aceounting officers—-n: . to the Second, Third or Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. iader [yet ope of other laws, all officers, agenteor other eva wh» shall receive public money from any source whatever before it is id into the ‘Treasury are wired to pay the same into the Treasury, and alike to onder e:counts ther-of to tue por pthegnyr ig tecnmag ‘The Sevond, ihirdand Fours Auditors of the sury will report to this office monthly the namo of each officer or agent who Las omit: ie bis accounts, as required by tbe act of 1462. repdrt_will stato the mame and official designation of the officer or agent, and the time at which bis q@ount ought, according te the law, to have rendered.
