REMOVAL OF Ex-MINIsTER FAULKNER TO FORT LAFAY-
ETTE.
Ex-MiDister Eau kner, since his removal from the
county jail has been confined in the quarters of the
Provost Guard, Massachusetts avenue, south
side, between Sixth and Seventh streets, in the
range of buildings known as Philips's row. Three
of those buildings for the of the two compa-
Lies at that point in charge of Captain Williams,
one is for the guard on duty, and one is for the
officers quarters. In this last building Mr.. Faulk-
ner has been confined. Yesterday morning, at an
early hour, he was taken in charge by Lieut.. Worth
of the 8;h Infantry, and placed in a carriage
which conveyed him to o'the railroad depot, where
he and his escort took the train which left this city
at halfpast seven O'Clock, A. NJ. 1t is understood
that be was to be taken directly through to Fort
Lafayette, New York.
VIGILANCE REQUISITE.
Gen. Dix and the authorities in Baltimore can
not be too vigilant the harbOr of Baltimore to
see that vessels and steamers leaving that port do
not carry contraband articles for the use of the
Confederate army. Whatever expense may be ne
cessary to have efficient harbor police ought to
be freely incurred, and not in name only but in
fact. 1t is well known that large quantities of
goods have gone from Baltimore to the Patuxent
and Potomac for shipment across; and boats have
been wagoued from the Patuxent to the Potomac
to ofeot the object of landing the supplies sent to
the Patuxent Tor Virginia, as well as To iant re
cruits also.
WHAT THEY WANT RAILROAD IRON FOR.
1t is known that the Convention of Virginia had
authorized the extension of the Manassas Gap road
from Strasburg, in Shenandoah county, to Win
chester, so that there might be complete line
from Richmond to Harper's Ferry, and to this end
the Manassas Gap road was rapidly removing their
iron from Alexandria; but before they finished IT.,
the Oath of May came, and the Union troops ar
rived in Alexandria. The iron taken from the Bal
timore and Ohio road, west of Martinsburg, is
doubtless to complete that connection between
Strasburg and Winchester, and very likely the roll
ing stock is for the same purpose.

NAVY YARD-ARRIvAL OF SEAMEN.
This morning the steamer State of Maine, Capt.
! Simmons arrived at the yard with 400 seamen

Government for a transport, for which efforts are
now on foot. She reports all quiet at Old Point
J and with the tota. Yesterday afternoon the pro

Not long since it was stated that John B. Upton,
paymastet's Gle of the Pensacola. had drawn his
three onths' pay and deserted. 1t appears, how
ever, that this statement was not altogether cor

We may add that it would greatly astonish tn
