and around Washington :
A grand review of the army in and around
Washington was made by Gen. McClellan, the
Saturday previous to the release of the prisoners.
The procession commenced moving at half past
ten in the morning, the last of the troops passing
the Capitol grounds about half past three in the
afternoon. The force was estimated by the pris
oners at about 300,000, with 300 pieces of artille
ry. Most of the troops marched very badly, and
several of the cavalry tumbled out of their sad
dles, one of whom died the next day. Upon the
arrival of Lincoln a salute was fired, bursting
e of the pieces and killing two men.

Another Seizure of Salt.
A lot of salt was seized by the order of the Gov
ernor at the South-Western“Railroad Freight
Depot in this place yesterday. It cost the owner
nine dollars per sa,ek, and at five, the loss to him
will be considerable. We submit that this seiz
ure of the property of merchants in active trade,
whose only business is to supply their customers
on the best terms they can, is likely to work very
serious hardships. Such seizures should be con
fined entirely to stocks bought at old prices and
held up from market ! There are cases of this
kind in Savannah and Atlanta, as we are inform
ed. But to take men’s salt at five dollars, who
have paid seven and nine for it, is neither just
nor reasonable. If the rise in salt is due, as is
charged, to monopolies of the article, then it is
simply punishing the victims and not the crimi
nals. The upshot of the seizure of salt so con
ducted, must be an entire banishment of the ar
ticle from the market, and"great distress among
the people, who may soon find it impossible to
buy a quart of salt to season tbeir food with.—
We do not object to a proper exercise of the pow
ers assumed by the Governor, but there is great
necessity for prudence and discrimination —Ma
con Tel.
Two More Federal Steamers Missing.
The Baltimore Clipper, of the 13th, has the
following paragraph:
It will be remembered that about one month
since, the steamers Peerless and Osceola were
chartered by the Government to carry cattle
to Fortress Monroe. Some apprehension was
then expressed as to the strength and general
availability of one of the steamers,but a favorable
report of one of the officers to whom the matter
was referred, led to Doth being chartered.
Ample stalls were fitted up in both vessels ;
and about two weeks since they wore forwarded
with about one hundred and fifty head of prime
cattle to the great fleet for the use of the troops
on board. Since their departure, nothing what
ever has been heard from them, and there is a
a prevailing apprehension in tho Quartermas
ter’s office that they have been wrecked or dam
aged in the great storm of Saturday week.
A Washington dispatch says the total
balance to tho credit of tho United States Treas
ury in the States now under insurrectionary con
trol is stated at six and a half millions.
No More Troops from Mississippi. —The
Jackson correspondent of the Vicksburg Sun
says, he has seen a letter from Gen. Johnston
to Gov. Pettus declining to receive more troops
under the late requisition, having already more
soldiers than he can disposo of. The Governor
is requested to disband all comparies organized
under said requisition, unless they go armed and
equipped for the war. The Sun states that the
volunteers who had recently been mustered into
service at that city were very indignant at being
disbanded, and their officers had left for Jack
son to lay their case before Gov. Pettus.
fOSF'A gold box and the freedom of the city is
to be presented to Gen. Robert Anderson by the
Mayor and Common Council of New York.
Avery small box will suffice to hold all the
“freedom of the city” there is left in Gotham.
jfigt'We have been shown a letter, says the
Louisville Courier, of the 19th, from the wife of
a surgeon in one of the regiments at Cairo, in
which she says that there were six thousand
troops left that place in the Belmont expedition,
and the next morning after their return, not three
thousand could be found to answer to their
names.
j2s£t**ln Breckinridge count}', Ivy., the other
day, a band of abolitionists broke into the house
of an old man, cairied him out and whipped him
nearly to death to make him take the oath of al
legiance to Lincoln. They could extort no oth
er answer than a refusal, and they carried him
off nearly dead, a prisoner to a Lincoln camp in
the neighborhood.
Hon. John E. Ward.— The Quebec Chronicle
says the Hon. John E. Ward, late Minister to
China, was in that city recently,>nd has goDe
to England. The Chronicle says :
“It is conjectured here c that Mr. Ward took
letters ot marque with him to be given to priva
teers to cruise in China waters, if not to look
after California treasure ships on the Pacific side
of the Isthmus. Numbers of other Southerners
have come and gone this summer by our steamers
and many more have been staying in Toronto,
Montreal, and even here. The United States
passport system is not only a nuisance, but a
very useless one.”
