THE MISSOURI QUESTION.
The President has arrived at no definite con
cusion regarding the Missouri question. liz
has, however, decided that hereafter ali con.
tracts and appointments for the Western De-
partIneut shall be made in Washington, in the
regular way, and through the ordinary chan
nes Brig.-Gen w. K. Strong viii also be
authorized to make such changes in Missouri,
As Chef of the staff, as he shall deem best.
I repeat that il has at no time been decided,
ether 20 arrest or remove Gen. Fremont and
II is authoritatiyely reiterated to-day that
nothing but tie imperative demands OF public
interes. shall induce the Government to super
sede him. Members Of Congress and others
faniiar with the state of affairs IN Missouri
are here. in daily intercourse with the Presi-
dent, aud they assert the positive necessity OF
taking immediate and decisive action. They
colfirm the statement made in recent letters
from prominent citizens of the Northwest,
that ualsss something is speedily done for
Missouri all will be lost there.
The Attorney General is unreserved in his
expression of opinion concerning Gen. Fremont,
and does not hesitate to pronounce ha reten-
tioa public crime. Mr. Bates is in receipt
daily of letters from important sources in Mis-
souri, indicating q dangerous condition of al
fairs ia that State. His temper and his fears
are greatly exercised by these dispatches A
full consultation on the whole subject will be
held tomorrow in Cabinet meeting.
THE VIOLATION OF THE SAVANNAH BLOCKADE
The publicity given to the violation Of the
Savannah blockade by the British steamer Ber-
muda, is said to have proceeded from Lord
Lyons dinner table. Information, strange to
say, from the village of Thompson, Conn.,,
gives mo reason TO believe that part of the
freight Of this big vessel was seventy tuns
Of gunpowder, 1000 Enfield rifles, ten ri6ed
cauuor $4,000 pairs shoes, q large quantity Of
blankets and clothing and an extraordi-
nary amount Of quiniRe and morphine.
"Reminiscences against her sailing, and, indeed,
against her completing her cargo, were made
by CHARLES Francis Adams in London, but the
Foreign Office did not feel at liberty, or would
not see its obligation to arrest the unlawful
voyage. The circumstances under which the
Bermuda effected an entrance into Savannah,
will probably be made the subject Of court
martial One thing is certain; the Bermuda
Will never 90 out again, except for cOndemna-
ton AID sale.
IHE CAPTURED TRANSPORT FANNY.
The propeller Fanny, captured in the Hat.
tsras Inlet, was transport in the War De-
partmcafs service, and not owned by the
Navy. The opinion prevalent among the officers
of the Pawnee, respecting tine probable success
Of an expedition to recapture her, will prepare
US for failure.

First-I.ieut. Z. b. McMurdy of the 10Th
Infantry is under arrest, and in confinement,
on the charge of being spy. His father, .
chaplain in on Ohio Regiment, betrayed as
