LAST neutrality-suspicious..

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE statement
that Winans, of Baltimore, was released I'M
conditionally, is unfounded. He was only
released by order of the Government by

The surgeons will be promoted from the
senior surgeons, and the assistants appoint-
ed from civil life, after having passed the
usual examination by the board from the
medical department of the army. Due
public notice of the appointment, and time
and plan of meeting of the Board, will be
given

Bk~ 1t was supposed by the enemies o.
the Union that when President Lincoln de-
termlned to take no more troops unless they
enlisted for the entire war, or three years
1t would be difficult TO raise the additional
and necessary forty-five thousand; but if
instead of that proposition, he had called for
million of men, to serve during their nat
ural lives, in the army, his appeal would
have been promptly and favorably respond
ed to. The New York Zouaves, when they
were sworn in by Major Mcdowell, a few
evenings ago, were somewhat startled when
they were told that they could not be taken

upon between themselves and Col. Ellsworth.

was taking it to the Navy Yard to test, but
the officers there disclaimed any knowledge
ofhim. The boat was constructed some time
since for raising wrecks and other subma-

The following important letter was yes
terday written by the Secretary of State:
WAsHINGroE, May I6.-Sir Il have re-
ceiVed your letter of yesterdays date, ask
ing me to give you in writing my reasons
for considering an acceptance on your part
of Governor Letcher's proposition to pur-
chase the steamships Yorktown and James
town recently seized by his orders, and
now in his possession, an act of treason.
With this request l readily comply. An
instruction has broken out in several
states of the Union, including Virginia de-
signed to overthrow the Government of
the United States. The executive authori-
ties of these States are parties to this
transaction, and so are public enemies. This
action in seizing or buying vessels to be
employed in the execution of that decision,
IS not merely without authority of law, but
Is treason. 1t is treason for any person to
give aid or comfort to public enemies. To
sell vessels to them, which it is their pur-
pose to use as ships of war, is to give them
aid and comfort. To receive money from
them in payment for vessels which they
have seized for these purposes, would be to !
convert the unlawful seizure into a sale, and |
would subject the party offending to the
pains and penalty of treason and the Gov |
would not hesitate to bring the |
offender TO punishment
