ARRESTED FEMALE Spies IN WAsHINGToN.
Since the arrest of the females who have
made themselves conspicuous by their eff
forts to obtain and transmit valuable infor-
nation to the rebels, in addition to the
charges upon which their arrest was based
a number of facts have been discovered
showing their disloyalty and activity as
agents of the rebels. 1t appears that Mrs.
Greenough carried her operations to such
an extent as to tamper with a gentleman
occupying a responsible position in the
War Department, and when informed that
she could not succeed in her efforts to in
duce him to betray his trust, she begged
and obtained his promise that he would not
expose her. Subsequently he informed the
chief of his bureau that he had been ap-
preached by widow lady, resident of
Washington, but withheld her name until
Monday, when, upon being pointedly ques-
toned, he explained that concealment was
no longer of any avail, and stated that it
was Mrs. Greenough.

A Story or GENERAL MGCLELLAN.-The
Washington correspondent of the PhiladeI-
phia Inquirer tells this story of General
Mcclellan. 1t may be true:
"Gen. Mcclellan is in the habit of riding
around occasionally in citizens dress, ac-
companied by few of his staff A few days
ago he was walking through one of the en-
campments across the Potomac, and passing
the rear of the tents he saw bucket OF
coffee standing near fire. He asked what
it was, and one of the soldiers said coffee
lit looks more like Stops he replied. tOh,'
said the soldier, iit is not fit to drink, but
we have to put up with it, and our other
food is not bit better well, whose fault
is it2 he asked. ooh, our quartermaster is
drunk most of The time, and when he is not
he is studying how to cheat
Mcclellan passed on, and seeing more
evidence of the dirty and sloveniy manner
IN which the Quartermaster conducted his
operations in his tent he accosted him with
the remark that the meh were complaining
of bad treatment from him. The Quarter
master flew into passion, and swore it was
none of his business and he had better not
come sneaking around trying to make mis-
chief. Mcclellan answered him, telling
him he had better be cautious how he talk
ed. Quartermaster replied, who are you,
that you assume so much apparent authori-
ty? "I am George B. Mcclellan and you
can pack up your traps and leave 2 The
Quartermaster was struck dumb, and Nc
Clellan turned and left him.

the tune of the 'Rogue's March, played by
some OF the boys who had got wind of it.

mouth for the man who does care how the

"The story has been circulated around
some of the camps, and the officers are now
always on the lookout for the General, and
of course do not have too much lying around

UNDER THE WEATHER The Confederate
Government is sick. Honest Old JEFF, the
Chief of the tribe of Cottonites, has got the
''shakin' ager," and Vice President Ste
phens is lying i'll at Manassas. The medium
through which this intelligence comes does
not state what is the matter with the
last mentioned, Possibly it is had case
of melancholy. He has been travelling
through Georgia, endeavoring to arouse the
patriotic enthusiasm of the planters up to
the sticking point of subscribing to the
produce loan," and helping the cause of
the Confederate bondage. Uphill work he
found it, we reckon. The truth is, Seces-
sionism is far advanced in a state of peeu-
MARY collapse, and we do not wonder that
"sense of geneness" should come over the
organisms of the principal proprietors of the
institution. The limited capital on which
the speculation was commenced has run
out, and the deposits are not forthcoming.
Cash is the one thing needful. Owing to a
series of financial troubles the health of the
heads of Disunion had gradually become
Observation-Disclosures that is the way the
obituary will read--and the disorder de-
fed the most skillful Missouri
Democrat. d..

WAsHlNGToN, Sept. 2.-This expedition is
but the commencement of operations, for
which the Navy Department has made am
pie preparations, and which will be rapidly
developed.
The propeller Herbert arrived yesterday,
having brought as prize, small sloop, ia
ken the day previous. She is heavily load
ed with revolvers primers, and ammuni-
ton, including 1000 pounds of percussion
caps, surgical instruments, medicines, &c
She was worked by three men, one of whom
escaped to the Virginia shore; the others
were taken prisoners. The sloop is said to
have taken on the freight at Washington
The Herbert shelled the woods and beach
near the Rappshannock, without discover
ing any rebels. t
The Herald correspondent sends the fol-
lowing dispatch
A dispatch has been received here to. day
from Richmond via. Louisville, announcing
the death of JEFF. Davis. This accounts for
the display of flags at half mast from the
rebel ramparts to-day. The rebels at Mum
sons Hill are practicing their artillery in
throwing balls and shells into the adjacent
houses, compelling the inmates, chiefly
women and children, to fee to the woods
for safety.

THE PRIvATEER SUMTER.--From Carrac-
cas-, Venezuela, under date of July 81, we
learn that the privateer Sumter, Captain
Semmes took the schooner Amy Bradford,
in there as a prize or the 9th ultimo. He
asked permission to sell her cargo and
leave the vessel in charge of a prize agent.
He was refused, and ordered to quit the port
Immediately He afterwards fell in with,
and seized, in the port of Porto Cabelo, the
barque Joseph Maxwell, Captain Davis, of
Philadelphia. Captain Semmes proposed to
restore to Captain Davis his vessel for the
sum of ten thousand dollars, which money
Captain D. was to bring off in Semmes'
boat, if be succeeded in obtaining il from
the consignees of the Maxwell, Porto Cabel-
10. The offer being refused by the con-
signees, the barque was detained. Captain
Semmes then sent the Captain of the Max
we'll on shore, saying that as he could not
sell his prizes he would burn them.s

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The most trust
worthy advices received from Virginia place
the number of rebel troops in that State
now in the field at SIS, 900 men. The enc
my are concentrating a large force south OF
Alexandra, and are also erecting batteries
near the mouth of Ocoquan river. Heavy
firing has been heard this morning from the
direction of our lines on the opposite shore
of the Potomac, but no reports of battle
have been received.
The proclamation of the President closing
rebel ports will not be issued. at present.
Some skirmishing took place this morn
ing in the vicinity of Chain Bridge, over
the Potomac. 1t is not believed to have
been of serious character.
The Navy Department is more active
than ever. From the preparations making,
it is evident that the affair at Hatteras is
to be followed up by other attacks.

Captain Coxetter now made sail for the

the wind having increased to half gale, he
could not venture in. He remained outside

serving any of Lincoln's feet. On Satur-

to cross the bar, the JEFF. Davis struck, and
though every possible exertion was made
to relieve her by throwing the heavy guns

All the small arms and clothing of the crew,
with many valuable sundries, were, how
ever, saved.
