GOV. DENN1soN,s AGENT HEARD
FROM.

It will be remembered that the Gov
crnor of Ohio sent W. A. Platt, Esq, to
Washington to take measures to pro-
vide for the wants Of the Ohio troops
there, who were reported to be 50 dis
gracefully neglected, and ashamed to
appear by the side Of other regiments.
The State Journal has the following
dispatch from the gentleman. The
Governor sent $500 by Mr.. Platt to
pay the Ohio Volunteers in Washington
for one months service, and they will
be paid at once.
JUNE 9th, 1861.
To Gov. DENNIsON.
By telegraph from H,a$hiogton.
I arrived here this morning; called on
Gov. Chase, and left with him the money
for paying the first and second Regi-
ments, as per instructions. This gives
great satisfaction to all concerned
Payment will be made on Monday
Shall [ receive voucher and let the
amount be credited to the State, or Treas
ury notes? The latter appears to me
preferable.
visited the camp, and with much
pleasure assure you that the statements
which have appeared in the papers of
the bad condition o. the clothing OF our
men, are greatly exaggerated. Such, at
least, is the assurance Of all the officers
conversed with, one only excepted. The
grounds of complaint which have exis-
ted are now removed by supplies now
furnished in part, and residue to be
furnished soon by the United States.
Col. Wilson says the second Regiment
may need three hundred or four hun
dred flannel shirts, and one hundred and
fifty army blankets more than can be
now obtained from the United States
He also expresses some anxiety for a
supply OF ambulances. After an exam
inat1on into the necessity for those to be
furnished by the State will communi-
cate the result. W. A. PLATT.
The Governor telegraphed in reply
that Mr.. Platt should take Treasury
notes at par for the amount he might
disburse to the troops on account Of pay.

The Pensacola is rapidly approaching com.

The Prince among the HcbcIs.

Prince Napoleon, with his suite, and the
French Minister. returned from Manassas at A
late hour on Friday evening. He rode from
Fairfax to Manassas with four Of the U. s.
horses In tho hands of the enemy. Three reg.
imen,s of cavalry and four Of the rebel infantry
held possession Of Fairfax. When 1t was known
ut Manassas that Prince Napoleon was coming,
tho enthusiasm was wild.
Generals Doauregard and Johnston are both
at Manassas They received the Prince with
the greatest possible respect. He arrived here
at about IL o'clock on Friday evening, having
breakfasted with those Generals. All leir

Tho fortncations of Manassas arc formidable;

that ho captured sixty-two guns at tho battle of
Bull Run. The baggage wagons taken ut that

Robbery in the Dead Letter Office.

For some time past the meagre returns made
by Rev. 7. Fiske, of the Dead Letter Office, has
occasioned suspicious that many Of the valua.
bles taken from the letters were pocketed by
him. In view Of this fact no was transferred TO
a new desk, when 1t was observed that the
returns made by the clerk we're far below the
usual amount. On Friday morning last, before
the reverend gentleman had commenced his
work, a couple Of letters containing marked
notes and specie were put into his pilo. In the
afternoon, as usual, he stated to the chief OF
tho Office that he had no returns to make, and
he was at once arrested by an officer who was
present. He was searched, and the marked
money found on his person. In the drawer OF
his desk number oflicentious books which illy
corresponded with his pretended character for
strict morality were foand. Through the in.
tercessions of his wife and daughter, who soon
heard of his arrest, the legal proceedings
against him were dropped, and he was dismissed
from Office. The accused has heretofore borne
good character rs an honest and upright man,
and his labors in the cause Of temperance here
have been productive OF much good.
