GEN. DIX AND THE NORTHEASTERN DIVISION.
MaJor-General Dix has arrived, and we IA.
assert, despite the contradiction of a contemporary.
that he MS to be placed in command Of the
NORTHEASTERN Division, headquarters at Airing.
ton House. The report that he is to take stock
in the new Compromise scheme is q SANDER.
He stands in the foremost front rank Of thcss
who are determined to drive rebellion to caves
and rocks before they receive flags of truce, or
negotiate other treaties than those based on sub
mission.
ADAMS EXPRESS AND THE POST-OFFICE DE-
PARTMENT.
1t is not true, as stated, that there is any CO.
operation between the Post-Ofice Department
and Adams Express in the conveyance of letters.
1t has no authority TO interfere with the trans
mission of letters, that being subject which be.
longs exclusively to the War Department Wa
submit, respectfully, to Secretary Cameron
whether this free. commerce o. communications
with the Rebels ought to be permitted without
the scrutiny of police. We repeat again, for the
twentieth Time that one-haf of the citizens Of
Washington belong to secret treason, and should
be watched with unceasiDg vigilance.
REsIGNIYG NAVAL OFFICERS TO BE STRICKEN
FROM TIE ROLLS.
Secretary Welles has decided to strike from
the rolls the name of every Natal officer who
resigns in time of war, whether or off duty.
This rule was applied to-day in the case Of
Lieut.. Chas. w. OF Maryland, whose resignation
the other day, while on leave, was reported.
THE REBELS AT MATTHIAS POINT.
The James Guy, Capt. Baker, arrived from
down the river tonight. She reports that re-.
connoissance OF Matthias Point was made yester-
day BY the Pawnee. A portion of the crew WA
landed, VINO frightened off the Rebels picket,
and captured and took on board the Pawnee
two horses, supposed to belong to the Colonel
and Captain Of the regiment, numbering about
thousand, which was ascertained to DO en-
camped three miles back from the Point. No
steps toward the erection OF a battery near tho
Point have been taken by the Rebels, and Capt.
Baker says nOns will be taken 50 long as they
are watched.
CoNRABAND SLOWED IN JAIL.
A negro boy who says that his master lives seven
miles below Acquia Greek, and was about to send
him TO work for the rebel army was taken posses
sion of at the Navy-Yard bridge. He says that not
only ar, the slaves ia his section of Virginia given
up by their masters to the rebel service, but that
free negroes-thirty or forty of his own knowledge
have been impressed. He thinks the rebels are
afraid, and says that they abuse Gen. scott, whom
they call the only obstacle to their success. After
crossing the river and walking along the shore to
| this city, in order to transfer his cOntrahand self
/ from the enemy to the Government, he is clapped
into prison, on what principle we are at loss to
perceive. But perhaps We ought to be thankful
that he is not returned to his owner.
