WASHINGTON, March 27.-Tbe Senate
to-day confirmed the nomination of A. G.
Ely, of California, as Consul at Acapulco.
The bill reported by Senator Rice to-day
from the Committee on Finance, provides
that the authority given to the Secretary of
the Treasury to refund and remit the duties
on imports on all arms imported into the
United States by or on account of any State,
shall extend only to arms for which orders
or contracts were made prior to January
1st, 1852; provided the Secretary shall
have satisfactory proof exhibited to him
that the arms were actually purchased in
foreign country for the account of State
and the price paid for the same was only
the first cost, and the usual and customary
charges attending the purchase of the same
exclusive of duty.
The attempts that are made to connect
the present supervision of the telegraph
with the censorship lately reported on by
Committee of Congress, render it proper
to state that the censorship of the telegraph
was abolished by the Secretary of War on
taking military possession of the telegraphs
and q military supervision of the telegraphs
throughout the United States substituted.
The duty of the supervisor is to prevent
the transmission BY telegraph of infOrma-
plated movements q reeEent af hnd co e. M

which is of military character that ought
to be concealed from the enemy. In all

here to-day, having come from GuTpepper
county, Va, near where the rebel army
now lies. He is known In Washington as
reliable and Intelligent man. Mr.. Pollock
stated that in the vicinity from which he
came there is local resurrection among
the white people, who are bitter in oppo-,
sition TO the rule Of JEFF. Davis. The peo-
pie. he says, feel that thee rebel cause lis.
hopelessly lost since the retreat from their
stronghold at Manassas. The rebel defeat
at Winchester has also depressed them,
though every effort has been made to con-
zeal the bad news from the public and that
portion of the army which were not en-
gagged in the fight He doubts whether the

HERALD's SPECIAL.
s A few days since, the pickets along the
lower Potomac, Chesapeake Bay, were
drawn in by General Hooker. The rebel
sympathizers in lower Maryland took this
as an intimation that the United States
forces were about to leave, and Immediately
commenced to send their slaves to Virginia
for the rebel service. This perfdy did not
escape the vigilance of the General. He
Immediately ordered the arrest of some
six or eight of the ringleaders who are
among the most prominent of the citizens
of that section of Maryland. They will
be handed over to the authorities at Wash
ton, with the evidence against them, which
is said 10 be OF the mcst conclusive charac-
ter. 5s74s
The following nominations by the Presi-
dent were referred to the Military Commit
tee:
Ward Burch Of New York, Carl Schurz
of Wisconsin, NJ. s. HascaIl of Indiana,
John w. Geary of Pennsylvania, Horace
Wardner of Illinois, B. NJ. McVicker of ILL.,
nois, j. F. Bradford OF Kentucky, James D.
Hutchitt of Kentucky, Alonzo J. Phelps of
Ohio, s. NJ Hamilton OF Illinois.
The amendments thus far made to the |
tax bill are not decisive, but merely the |
action of the Committee of the Whole, the |
House having finally to act on them.
Il is believed Congress will, in conformi- |
ty with the bill proposed by the Secretary |
of the Treasury, increase the tax on tobacco,
whisky, and other luxuries.
The hasty clause taxing the stock of |
whisky now in the hands of dealers will |
probably be reconsidered. The bill, with |
this clause stricken out, will be uniform |
and more acceptable.
