The United States Government has seized
ell the kilograms received at all the considera-
BILE telegraph offices in the free States during
the last year. .-. t.- . -rt .-..
The seizure was made yesterday Afternoon,
at O'Clock, and at the same moment through
out the entire North.
1t is known that originals of all telegfaHis
are filed away at the various telegraph oficca,
and kept for ut least one year, and in many
cases longer. For instance, some of the Of
/ fees in this city had the accumulated dis
I patches of three years.
The seizure in this city was made by the
| United States Marshal. So profoundly Sc
cret had the determination of the Govern
ment been kept that no hint or whisper of it
bad escaped till, in accordance with orders
/ the United States Marshas and their officers
entered every telegraph Office in tile North
which was deemed TO be of 81 ficient mpor-
tance, and made the seizures, as stated.
-Fhe object in making all the seizures at
the same time is apparent. 1t ptevehts the
destruction OF kilograms which might occur
tnder other circumstances.
Id this city the telegrams taken BY the
are in charge of officers designated by the
Government; and will be read over carefully
by these officers, in the presence of man
designated by the telegraph company.
OF course, n. very large portion of tie dis
patches are Of strictly private charaetvr, and
Of no service or interest to the ptHll,; and all
such 4ill BE immediately returned;
1t is equally certain that large portion of
the dispatches are of grcut intetest u the
Publicj and that they will be Of itcdledldBle
value ana serticc TO the Goternrlel1t. I'm
fact, it is quite impossible to imagine tile i'm
portance Of the information which VIII be de-
rived from this source. in tlfesb telegranis
the Government has many Bf the secret plat6
and movements Of tie rebels up to the ptes-
ent time, as well as the names Of Tie traitors
in New Iork and other cities, who have been
giving information to the enemy
1t has been regarded as certaih ihEt JEFF,
Davis has had all army OF spies and inform
ers in this city, some of whom were sent pp
from the South, and some of whom are citi- |
Eens. These kilograms will establish the
truth Of this belief beyond doubt, and will |
also furnish the Government with the names
Of many Of these spies and informers; and if
such regard their personal safety they had
better leave for the territory Of the rebels ini-
mediately, for there can be no doubt but that |,
the United States authorities have now g.
c!ew TO their proceedings, which will render
il unsafe for them to remain.
Nor are the spies and informers the only I
ones whose treason will be laid bare by theae
dispatches. Those who have been supplying |
the South with arms and munitions of war /
will now be known, and if the Government /
docs not obtain evidence to convict such trea-
son, it will at least be able to mark and watch !
them with vigilant eye, and prevent them
doing future mischief.
One thing is certain. Every traitor who
has corresponded with the rebels by telegraph |
during the last twelve months is now known |
by name to the Government.
The financial and diplomatic hopes and |
plans of the rebels-their negotiations for
arms and ummunition-the trcachery fanny
and navy officers, and other movements of the
greatest importance are by this bold stroke
placed within the knowledge of the Federal /
q lthorities .....
There can be no doubt hut one result will |
70 !ow Immediately Hundreds of secret trai-
to's, who are now in this city, and other cities
of the North will de mi it safe to leave infft!e-
dately, and we shall probably see no more OF
them in these parts They will forthwith
place themselves under the protection of the
N ,ntgomrry Goyernment.--NeU York Post
