WASHINGTON ITEMS.

search for Colonel Cameron's Body--Ccn-
Sressmen Paid off i'm Treasury Notes.
WAsHGSGToN, August 4-Messrs. German, APP
p'egate and Sterling left Washington on Thursday,
with flag of truce, bearing a commune alton from
the Secretary of War, having for its object the
cnvery OF the body of his brother, Col. Cameron.
They yesterday returned, without success, owing
1t appears, to the communication having been ad-
dressed "To whom it may concern" and not to
some particular prominent officer III the Confede
rate army. This objection removed there is no
DOUBT that the body can be recovered, the place
OF interment is marked, and every facility promised
to accomplish that purpose.
The gentlemen carrying the flag speak in high
terms of the courteous and kind manner in which
they were treated by Col Stuart, commanding
the first Virginia regiment and other officers with
IN the field of his operations. They, however were
not permitted to approach directly to Fairfax
Court House. Whatever they may have seen Of
interest in that neighborhood they have the pru-
dence to conceal, having gone thither err
rand of mercy and not for recerGotering purposes.
Members of Congress have been paid their last
months salary receiving $50 in gold and $3.50 on
the two years per cent. Treasury notes. The
employees of the other depar tments of the Govern
ment are hereafter to be paid off in the same de-
scripton of paper.
One of the communications recently sent hither
under flag Of truce from Gen. Johnston, was, it
is understood, in relation to report which had
reached the COnfederates that some of their pris-
oners had been hung by order of military au-
thorlties AS no such executions have taken place
It may certainly be inferred that Gen. Mcdowell
replied in accordance with this fact.
The Gunboat Yankee Crippled.
The gunbOat Yankee arrived at The navy-yard
this afternoon for repairs. Several days since, ac-
cordiDg to a statement By of her oficers, she
ran up a battery of the enemy at Potomac
Creek, about eight miles below Aqua Creek, and
threw she'll into the works. from whch five shots
were instantly fired in return, Of them passing
through the engineers room, but without doing
much damage. She did not, thereafter, remain
long in that neighborhood.
The passage of the bill preventing the sale of in
toxcating liquors to soldiers is mainly due to the
perseverng efforts of Senator Wilson, who, ever
since the meeting of Congress, has pressed the ne
cessiry of such measure, for the promotion of
both good morals and discipline.

ST.. LOUIS, August 3.-The Euening Ne'os learns
from well informed citizen fiom Southwest Mis-
souri,, who possesses peculiar facilities tor acquir-
ing Information from the secessionsts of that
gion, that their real object is not to attack Cairo
Birds Point but to make desperate attempt to
secure possession of St. Louis! There is strong
force 1nder General Pillow at New Madrid, Mo-,
aud another at PocahoDtas Al kansas.
Another force is being concentrated in Missis-
sippi county, Mo, under Jeff. Thompson. The
plan is to keep up a constant menace against Cairo
and Birds Point, to keep the Federal troops
there employed, menace General Lyon in the
Southwest by threatened attack from Generals
Price and Rsins, while the forces at New Madrid
and Pncahontas effect a junction at Pilot Knob,
and from there march on St Louis, take it, and
instate Gener al Jackson, and, with this city

Government.
Return of the Missouri Volunteers.
Sr. LOUIS, Aug. 2.-Coonel SOomon's regment,
and part of Colonel Siegels arrived from the
Southwest yesterday. The balance of Colonel
Seges and the two Iowa regiments, will probably
arrive to-day. These troops will be disbanded
here, their TIM having expired but nearly all the
two former regiments will re enlist for the war.
Efforts are being made to continue the organization
Of the Reserve Corps, or st. Louis Home Guard,
beyond the time of their regular enlistment.
JEFFERSON CITY August 1.-The Missouri and
Western Telegraph Company commenced taking
down their wires west of this city, this morning.
Owing to the disturbed state of the country be-
tween this and the Kansas border, it is found i'm
possible to protect the company's property, which
is being rapidly destroyed by lawiess persons who
roam unresrsined throughout that portion Of the
State. Dispatches going to Kansas City, Mo-, and
to points in Kansas and Nebraska, will go via
Quincy, with but little delay.
