Litchfield enquirer., 1861-10-10

! FEoM WAsu1NGroN.--A part of the gossip of sympathetic female secessiondom in Washington is the miscarriage of the financial endeavor of Mrs. Greenhow to have her washing done at the expense of the Government, and her grocer's bill for candies liquilated at the War Department Imprisoned in her own house. she took the South ern view of the obligation of her ailor to pay hel domestic expenses. Her laundry bill and an ac count for candles were actually presented to Mr Cameron on Saturday for allowance.
 TIE publicity given to the violation of the Sa vannah blockade by the British steamer Bermu da, s said to have proceeded from Lord Lyons dinner table. Information, strange to say. from the village of Thompson, Conn.,, gives reason tc believe that a part of the freight of this big ves scl was seventy tons of gunpowder, 1000 Enfield rifles, ten riRed cannon, 60,000 pairs of shoes, a large quantity of blankets and clothing, and an extraordinary amount of qunine and morphine. Rcmonstrances against her sailing, and, indeed, against her completing her cargo, were made by Charles Francis Adams in London, but the For eign Office did not feel at liber'y, CT would not see its obligation to arrest the unlawful voyage The circumstances under which the Bermuda eff fected an entrance into Savannah, will probably be made the subject of court-martal One thing is certain the Bermuda will never go out again, except for condemnation and sale.
 Ir will be recolected th&tabout two weeks ago, @ private named Lanahan, belonging to one of tllc Pennsylvania regiments, shot the Major of i, regiment, because he had ordered him to be ar rested. Gen. Banks instituted Court-marta, which tried E.anahan, found him guilty, and scn- fenced him to be hung. The finding of the CuuIt-ln&rtiAl WAS sent to the President for ap- prov"l. A&or a long time for consideration, the administration has decided that Gen. Banks had no authority to institute g court-martial. disap proved the finding of the court and then ordered that the verdict be set aside, and Lanahan be handed over to the civil authorities for trial on a charge of murder
