WARRINGTON AND VICINITY.

Captain Blanchard of the Assistant Quarter
masters Department, has been detached from
that port for the duty OF inspecting the Omar
termaster s property of the army OF the Poto-
mae. Caleb > Smith OF Philadei phia will open
a new means of communication TO. day down the
Potomac, by placing line of steamboats, be-
tween Washington amt Bldd' ferry, the head
quarters Of Gen. Il ,oker's division.
The first steamer bound thithcr is the Rein
deer. Capt. Height. This vessel ran the block
ade Monday night without obstruction from
the rebel batteries, bringing lour contrabands,
who were placed on board the notila and turned
over to Capt. Dahlgreen, commandant of the
Washington Navy Yard.
Foolish rumois were prevalent at Washington
on Tuesday, about the advance of the rebels
These doubtless had their origin from the fact
that the pickets from Gen. Blencker's division
mistook Tor the enemy the force of cavalry un.
der the command of Gen. Wadsworth, who were
returning from II successful reconnaissance, made
, Ill the direction Of Fairfax Court House
| Much alarm was occasioncd by this mistake.

Assignment of Soldiers Paw.

1t does not seem to be sufficiently understood
hy our soldiers at the seat Of war who desire to
send money home to their friends, that the War
Department over two months ago made arrange
ments Tor that purpose that are convenient and
efficient. In particular, captains Of companies
do not seem t. be aware OF the facilities furnish
ed by the government IN this respect, otherwise
the provisions Of the Conceal Order No. 81
issued by the Ajiutant General would be more
generally appreciated.
In accordance with section IL CT lie act Of
Congress authorizing the employment of vol
uutecrs, il is specified by the general order in
question that volunteers who may wish to assign
portions Q! their ply for the benefit Of their
iamheS, can do So on sepcrate pay rol.--the
assignment to be executed under superinten-
dence OF captains 0! companies, or the lmme-
date commander Of the recruit at the time of
enlistment Of soldier in camp. The allotment
Goll-copies Of which are furnished every com
pany officer by the State authorities of Massa-
chusetts-arc arranged so that the soldier may
authorize the Paynlaster of his regiment to re-
aelye from his monthly pay whatever sum he
he may specify, and pay it over to general
. distributor, (wh0in each company may agree
upon mu5uaiy,) who N torn will pay the sums
SO reserved to Whatever person the soldier may
declare as his assignee. Allotmcnts So made
Will be reserved by the PAymnsser General from
every pay roll subsequent to their assignment,
ant the aggregate amount sent by him to the
distributor agreed Oh by the company, or reg.
lHlent rs the case lnay BE-. AS companies are
generally raised in one locality some well known
and responsible individual can easily be agreed
upon as their distributor and there are yerv
few, we believe, who would consider saca agency
any trouble. 1t will thus be seen that, if every
town in the State where q company OF voun-
/ teers has been "aised, has not lis machinery for
soldiers allotment distributors, the fault il
with the soldiers themselves.

How Quartermaster Davis Supplied the
Troops on the Potomac.


We have no desire to argue Quartermaster
Davis case after judgment, or keep alive any
quarrel with that official, but simple justice to
those who protested against his election, wheth
er on the Potomac or at home, demands that
the truth should be known and it IS in this
view that We deem the public have yet & sufici-
ent interest in the question whose shoulders
should bear the blame of tie great suffering
endured by our troops through insufficient cloth =
ing and tents, to warrant the publication of the
following letter from the commanding officer Of
the Sd regiment to a prominent citizen in this
State II Gen. Davis had shown half the zeal
in doing his duty when sent by the legislature,
to the Potomac with instructions to supply the
wants OF our troops there, that he did to make
sure of his rc-elec'on, the suffering soldiers
would certainly have had much less reason to
complain Of his neglect of their needs, and there
might have been no occasion for such letters as
the following
HEADQUARTERS 81 RKG'T VI. VOLUNTEERS,
Camp Griffin, Va, Nov. Is, 1861.
DEAR SIR: II have delayed answering your
favor of the 9Th, hoping to find that the efforts
made by Gen. Smith, at headquarters, would
result in some improvement in our affairs. In
this have not been disappointed, for through
the Generals care for the Vermont Regiments,
we have received our new uniforms, and all that
is necessary except good tents for the enlisted
men. The United States Government steadily
refuse to give Us any tents, Tin place of those
Davis bought for US, aud which have been con
demned) excepting the little servants tents, or
the army tents. These are 50 small and so
crowded that the men cannot build fires in them,
and ia consequence they must suffer in this
cold, Virginia winter. Now, is tho State Ct
Vermont largc-hearted enough to furnish the
Sd Vermont Regiment with the' S1J|sy Tent,

Let he say one word in regard to Gen, Davis.

Of information at headquarters, that Gen. Davis
accomplished nothing whatever in his reco t
visit. The very ones who may have informed
him of thelr ability to sappiy US lntwo weeks, >
are noS able to furnish any old regiment with
clothing for two montEs to come. All that I'VE
