New YORK, May l3.-Persons, though
representing themselves as Union men, are
denied the privilege of forwarding locomo-
tives to Tennessee for the reason, among
others, that such machinery might be used
in transporting hostile troops.
The Government also takes care that coal
for steam purposes shall not be transported
to disloyal States.
Information having reached the War De-
partment, late last night, that several small
vessels had been fired at from the Virginia
shore, and an effort made to detain them by
the Alexandria authorities, in order that
their cargoes of fish, instead of being brought
to Washington, might be used for secession
troops, the Secretary ordered the steamer
Pawnee to stop the lawless proceedings.
In addition to the national vessels about
20 armed steamers from New York, Balti-
more, and Philadelphia, have been, or are
being, put in readiness for blockading.

WASHINGTON, May Evidence that

and Baltimore must be kept loyal to the
Government. Ten companies of the 22d
regiment of cavalry, admirably mounted,
are expected to arrive here during the pres
ent week.

A down cast look and sowref
Mo- it's fast to dole
Thy sheaf of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soule.
1t il to fast from strife,
From old debate,
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
TO show Il heart grief-rent,
To starve thy sin,
Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent.
