B..P. CH. Secrotary (f the Treasury. ‘Treaseny Devanraent, Sept. 1, 1863, The President has considered and approved the re- vised trade regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury for the government of the limited commer cial intercourse between the citizens of the loyal States and the inhabitants of States and parts of States herotofore declared to bo in insurrection, The Secretary has given the most careful consideration to the subject, and, while many of tho former restrictions have been removed, due provision bas been made to ‘ Prevent the rebels from benefiting by the regulations. ‘The genoral eupervising special agents, now five in number, are required, after conference with the genorais commanding departments, when possible, and with their sanction, unless unavoidable circumstances prevent the obtaining of it, to designate by known g ographi- cal boundaries, or by the enumeration of counties, that Portion of tho territory included in their agencies re- spectively, with which trade may be safely permitted, and report such designation to the Secretary. The part of torritory so designated shall be called the trade district ; and no transportation of goods, except as specially pro- vided for, shall be permitted beyond the lines of such dis. trict. If it shall appear that, boyond the lines of national military occupation, there is some territory within which the supply of necessaries 1s required by humanity and sound policy, while trade cannot yet be safely re-estab- lished, then the supervising special agent, with the sanc- tion of the general commanding the dopartment, but in no case without hie sanction, and subject revocation and modification by the Secretary, may in lke manner designate the portion of territory in their respective agencies to which goods may be properly permitted for individual and family supply, but for no otber purpose, The torritority so Wosignated shali be called the supply district, and no goods shall be trans- ported thereto for resale, except as provided by regula- tion. Authorized traders, except in the cities of Memphis and Nashville, and such other cities or towns as may hereafter be desig- nated by the Secretary, with the concurrence and approval of the goneral commanding tbe department, shall not sell goods to others to be resold by them, but ‘shall sell only to persons for their own individual family or plantation use, In Memphis, Nashville, apd other Cities after designation, authorized tradors may sell goods to other traders for the purpose of resale upon the certifi cate of the proper local special agent. Persoas and fami- lies residing im these cities. may purchase supplies for their own consumption at any trade store therein without any permit or certificate; but goods so sold shall not be transported out of the said cities without the permit of the proper oMcer. Upon the request of the general commanding the department the establishment of one or more trade stores in any city or town of asupply district may be authorized under the same regulations as trade stores are established in trade districts and subject @ military orders. But the authority to | establish such stores may be revoked and such stores discontinued whenever the public Interest may require it. All proper and loyal persons may apply in the prescribed form for authority to pur- chase, for money other than gold or silver, any of the products of the country within the lines of national mili- tary occupation in the agency, except when protibited by the general commanding the department, or other special military order, and to transport the same to market, on executing a proper bend. Every permit to purchase or sell cotton, tobacco, or other mer- chandise within any place or section in a State heretofore declared in insurrection, after commercial in- tercourse therewith shall bave been permitted by the Secretary of the Treagury, and every permit to transport the same 1 ereto, therein, or therefrom, shall clearly define the character and quantity of the merchandise, Boats and veseels may be cleared, and merchandise uot probibited may be permitted, from any port which has been blockaded, but opened by proclamation, upon pay- ment of such fees only as were chargeab!e therefor bo- fore the blockade was declared, but subject to prescribed regulations, and upon giving bond not to land or discharge any of such merchandise at any intermediate point, except under permit authorised by the rogulations But no goods, wares, or merchandise shall be shipped or | necessary ou Daghlgrea’s de | should be given cmtrol of « joint ex | recently published ia the Richmoad Whig transported from and out of such opened port, except under permits granted upon compliance with the reg tiong and local rules and payment of prescribed fees. The above are a few of the most important provisions, Tho modified regulations are to supersede those of March | 31 Laat, and all others conflicting with them, All permits ] granted and acts done in pursuance of former regulations are to be valid and effectual until the 15th of October next, unless the regulations shall have been sooner received and made known at the place of such permits or acts, OUR WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasuinuroy, Sept. 14, 1863. There is no trath in tho report that General Hunter is to resume cemmand of the Department of the Missouri He is to have » command in the Southwest ere long, but in the meantime is detailed as president of the court ot inquiry to investigate and report upon the circumstances Attending the lose of a large amount of funds by the de- atruction of the eteamer Ruth, Fqually uptry © the reports that Meigs, Quarter. master General; Ripley, Chief of Ordeance, avd Taylor, Chief Commissary, bave been removed from if re Apective places in any hostile sense, General Meigs has not been removed at all. He iv detailed, at bis own re quest, om © tour of inspection, the confinement of bis office baving impaired his bealtb. Ripley and Taylor are and bave been at their posts, although, both baring served over forty five years, it x in the option of the President to retire them whenever he may see ft. Surgeon General Hammond presegis a somewhat differ. ent case. He is travelling, but whether for the benefit of bis health or for the benefit of the service this depo- pent sayeth not. His locum temens, Medion) Inspector Rarns, is one of the very best officers in the service, who has bad an experience of over twenty years in the army, having been greatly distinguished in the Florida end Mexican ware, He \n one of the few army surgeons who bave never allowed the lazioess of carp ide to interrupt their professional studjess He has kept aw courant with the age, and is a gentleman acceptable in ail Reuses Some regret is expressed that Ger Gillmore’# major generaiship only dates bim on the 7th of this month. His friends claim that it ought to have been dated back to the Lith of April, 1862, the date of Fort Pulaski’s sur render. It is known that Geveral Hunter, in the spring of 1662, wished to make his attack on Morris Island, but wae overruled by General Benham, then his chief engineer and chief of staf. Benham’s advice unfortu- nately prevailed, James Island was relected asthe ap. | proach to be forced, and the battle of Secessionviiie followed, in which our arme met with @ sigoal reverse. Rumors are afloat that Admiral Dabigren’® declining beaith will cause him to be recalled. The late viait of Admiral Farragut to the Navy Department, and hi long interviews with the President and Genera! Halleck, are thought to indicate bim as the next commander of the South Atlantic fleet, Captain Fox threatens to resigo if the public desire for Admiral Dupont’s restoration to command be conmplied with. There are judications that Fox may possibly be taken at bie word, though poor “Unele Gideon’? (ae the Secretary of the Navy is cated by the President) will “mel bad,” be says, “(deprived of bin right bower.’” General Banks writes to friends here that Graat's inju ries are alight, amd that the ‘‘unconditional surrender’ hero will be about in a few days. Per contra, Grant writes that Banks is ontitied to full credit for the fall of Port Hudson, irrespective of the fall of Vicksburg. “My success at Vicksburg,” be mys, ‘may have expedited the surrender of Port Hudson « day of two, but 20 more. ‘The garrison wore starving, and under 90 circunsetances could hold out another week. Let Banks, a aoble fellow, have all that belongs to him.” Tt on elonrly eacertqumed they Admiral Dakiereg got uo his boat expedition to capture Surater and hoist the Stars and Stripes over it without any cousuitation with General | Gillmore, who had at the samo Lime prepared @ email corps of picked mon for the purpose, Gilimore, hoaring of Dabigren’s preparations ungilioaliy, offered to 9 operate, to which Dabigron crnsvatod, “proved the navy shou'd have (ho command.” ‘To this Gillmore re. plod that the senior oMicer present, whether of navy OF army, would of right be entitled to the command, and that he could make no other stipulations. this answer from General Gilmore Aduaira) Debi | gre doctiaed to have auy army co-eperatiou, and under tvok the operation with @ party of marines, sailors armed with an) La boat howilver—this tmpiore fired on landing, a# if to appounce to the gy ssault was in progress, MevattmeGulimoro's picked force stood under arms ut {rout of Fort Waguer, being deaind any oppor No commert cau ba that a navy oftic pedition to take pox jus by the ordaance of the Gilmore's preparations cipation wand eeasion of a fort reduced to ru! army. ‘hoe who knew Genors: for the wasaull express Che most uniphakea belief tas his Plans could notchave been resisted had Dablgren allowed bim to co-operate, Tho capture of Lieutenant 3.

C. Rives, of which Mry John Mitchel is the reputed editor, Fndeavoring to com- sole bis rebel associates at the expease of try, Sr, Rives bays — Outskirts and fragmentary yortions of our territory have, in some inst rwrily and reiactanuy tifyiny the attempt to aud itny nt posi heart or grand interior of ted. * ft Spring n Murfreesboro, he adds, were noble successes for the Confederate arms.’' ‘These assertions are cortaiuly refreshing, 1 view of the fact which even Mr, ives cannot deny, that the flag of the Union to-day floats over far more than one-half of what was once claimed as Secessin. A few more of such “victories of Pyrraus’ and it will be all over with Davis: abandoned to the defend them at the Fr dom. Murfreesboro was a victory for the uation al arms which bad wilbin its wom @ dozen victories that have sinee come to light— Tullshoma, Chattanooga and the rescue of all Kaatern ‘Tennossee and Northera Alabaina from the merciless clutches’ of rebel rule. Columbus, which had cost mil lions to fortify, was strategically captured, without im mediate bloodshed, by the manwayres planned by Hal- leck against the enemy's centres at Forts Honry and Donelson. Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, was a victory for the Union fully as fruittul of results as Murfreesboro, the capture of Coriuth being its most proximate result, and that of Vicksburg oue of its latest and most striking corollaries, Ig or is not Mr. Rives aware that the ua- tional flag floats to-day in every State aud Territory of the old Union’ Naval officers are urging the attention of their depart- ment to the impolicy of increasiug the Monitor fleet at the present time. They say that we wow want au irou clad navy of the largest sie, to secure poace with France and England—taore especially France They refer to the fact that the Monitors are, properly cousidered, mere tloating batteries— harbor fortifications of a movable naturo; while a navy, properly speaking, should be able to scour the high seas, overtake aud capture the enemy's fastest vessels, and Protect our commerce every where further urge that Dabigren’s guns should not be provected wud upheld at the cost of the Parrott guns, which have proved, in every trial, of influitely more service. What we want is vast iron-clad frigates of the same type as the ironeides, but to with greater speoi—such vessels as we are promise: the Dictator, Duaderverg, and other ships of tuat ¢ now being built. It is conceded that the fast Kaglish Warrior, French Guerriere, and so forth, could run the gauntlet of adozen Moniiors, unless bit by some fortat tous sheil in a vital point, We waut an ocean navy—an iron-clad ocean navy; and Mr, Welles will be held respon sible if we aro caught defenceiess ia this arm wheo the emergency arises. Admiral Dahlgren has greatly injured himeeif by bay- ing taken on board bis flagship, and made a quest at his meas, a person who bad heen branded by the oft) timony of Admiral Dupont and tne eight original con manders of the Monitor fleet as having been guilty of de~ liberate falsification, Much surprise and indignation are also {reely expressed against Assistant Secretary Vox for having seat this person down ‘harlestoa « second time ou 4 aval transport,and with a semi-official endorsement as the confidential friend of the Navy Department. The hostility of Montgomery Blair to Admiral Dupont is+be- Neved to arise solgly from the fi ‘t that Heury Winter Davis has long maintained relation ‘of persoual intimacy with the Dupoots at Wilmington, The whole matter of the iron-clads, Mr. Fox, Dabigren and Dupont will re ceive arly and sharp attention at the next meeting of Congress. Secretaries Seward, Rates, Usher and Stan ton, with General Halleck, are said to be in (avor of Du- pont’s restoration to command, Chase is personally in different to this, as to all other mavters outside the next Presidency; but he rathor inclines to think that jt may bo for his interest to run with Mr. Stanton, Are not these enough of army and navy items for one day * ENERAL NEWS.
