pB- Tie War Department is much annoyed
by irresponsible persons attempting to draw
acquisitions for various things, and incur ex'
penses, on account Of the Government, under
the pretence of patriotic aid in bringing q suf'
ficient force into active service and the Sec,
retary is daily obliged to answer teegraphic in
quiries in regard to the authority of such indi.

understand that the Department has no agents

York Tribune, who spent Saturday in Alexan.
dria, furnishes the following items:
THE RAILROAD CAPTURE.
After dinner, we visited the railroad station,
where the Zouaves have their headquarters.
We found twenty or thirty freight cars and
trucks, and two broken.down engines. / learn.
ed that the Zouaves found in the cars 1000
kegs Of gunpowder 200 barrels beef, 81 500 in
doubloons, two cases of Colts revolvers, box
of double.barreled fowling.pieces, several supe.
rior May nard's and Colts rifles, preserved meats
and clothing, &c. The safe in which the doub-
looms were found was opened after Two hours
exertion.
THE SLAVE EBARRACCON-CAPTURE OF CAVALRY.
The next point Of interest was the mag Pazine
of Price, Birch, l. Co, dealers in slaves, as
large letters over the door informed the public.
At this corner, the squadron of cavalry men.
toned yesterday was captured by the Michigan
regiment and Sherman's battery. Their quar-
ters for horses and men were in the slave pen.
The Michigan regiment had received orders to
fire, when Shermau's battery whirled up before
them, and brought the cavalry within easy
range. The slave cavalry then threw out
white flag and surrendered. Only one escaped.
Entering the slave pen, we found grinning be-
hind a CRATE, a swarthy F. F. ", armed with
knlIe. nc uepreca'ihSy assuIeu Us tnnt he
had kept the knife to protect his wife and chill
dren. We learned that arms had been found
secreted in his house, and he resisted search
with this knife. The pen which he ornament
ed is about fifty feet square, open above, and
surrounded by walls twenty feet high, with
brick flooring, and dungeons underneath.
DARKEY CAPTURED.
In the back yard we found happy African,
surrounded by Zouaves and Michiganders.
When the building was sezed;I he was the sole
occupant of the slave.pen. He was liberated
by the Zouaves, who picked the lock, and has
been adopted by the Michiganders as their
cook. He likes cooking, but says he must
have musket if fighting is TO be done. He
was raised in Prince Georges county, Mary
land, and is consigned for sale in Virginia on
account of the owners fear that the property
would be unsafe in Mary land. He thoroughly
appreciates this unexpected change Of ma tiers.
IMPRISONED SLAVES TO BE FREED.
The Zouaves are apparently determined to
free all slaves they find in confinement. They
broke into another pen, by knocking hole a
foot square in brick wall, but found nothing
Thirty slaves had been carried Off shortly be
fore, and embarked from point in the woods
