WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
A large number of propositions have been
made to the Navy department, for the destruc-
ton of the Pirate Alabama, provided suita-
BILE reward should be offered to warrant the
undertaking. AS a general answer to all such
applications, it may be safely stated there is
no doubt that the Department will cheerfully
buy the vessel of any party capturing he
and pay half million dollars for her, and in
the event of her destruction 100000. The
latter payment however, being subject to an
appropriation by Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
It is ascertained from New Granadian
official source that that Government has in
terposed no objections to free black m.nigra-
ton to that Republic-the policy being to en-
courage the settlement of the country by
those qualified to develepe the agricultural and
mineral resources.
Gen. King has been ordered to report to
Gen. Dix.
The Potomac fotilla has been doing IN ex-
tensive business in the capture of contraband
goods and men in the rebel service. To-day
a party were brought to the Navy Yard, made
prisoners while attempting to cross from Vir-
ginia to visit their Maryland homes. Rebel
army passes and many letters were found on
their persons.
There is no apparent reason to occasion any
serious consideration of the rumor of last
evening in New York that Gen. Mcclellan
has been superseded in the command of the
army of the Potomac. sgs
