There was considerable talk about the Manassas,
and many,xeports regarding her. From all that
we could learn, she was safe at the latest ACCOUNTS
from her. 1t would be bootless task not only 10
contradict but to attempt to contradict the rumors
and reports which are started from some corner
and before passing two squares are magnlnea 'hto
something partaking of the astounding ana WOE
derful.
The information by telegraph yesterday, poti-
cally, that is regarding Messrs. Slide and Mason'
is altogether too much on the say-so style to COM
mand full credence. Ill,
We learn that Gen. Lowell has issued orders to
McKeeyer's Express, Postmaster Riddel and others
that all letters intended for foreign countries
| Europe and Cuba, as well as the old defunct
committee, This rule has heretofore only ap-
piled to correspondence with the Northern States.
! 1t is now deemed proper to extend the rule and
have it apply to European correspondence. This
1 is correct and proper. No reasonable person can
i complain, The order of the GeneralC Commanding
fully meets the position of AFFAIRS and moreover is
demanded by the crisis. We have frequently OBJ
served in the Northern papers that letters from the
g. hol
1 West Indies and Europe. Public good and true
war policy demands the carrying out the order of
1 Commanding General Lowell. If due credence is
to be given to all the talk and surmises on the
flags, it can readily be conceded that large sums OF
money have been RENTED to Northern people via
England, in sterling exchange, since the 2lst OF
Nav last, All these remittances have been in vio-
laton off, not only the special laws of the Confed-
crate States, but against all laws of and bel
ligerents. So the remittances by parties here who
pretend to be southerners but have their families
| and residences in Northern States, even for the
| support Of their families are in direct violation of
the law, because these remittances are to be paid
1 ont, dsbursed among the enemies of the South.
| We make no remarks at this time about the new
tangled Southernsm, that is, parties here and their
families North, and money for the support OF these
/ families being transmitted with correspondence
/ via Europe, or has BEEN but which is now inter
| rupted by militarylaw and necessity.
| We talked of powder mandatory inside OF
the barracks a day or two ago, and expressed the
idea that the barracks were in too close proximity
| to the city to cover powder laboratory. We find
that in and about the barracks dense population
| is concentrating. Further, that a powder mill is
now in course of erection outside of and short
distance only from the barracks. II our informa-
| ton is correct, and it comes from the highest
sources, the intended factory has so far progressed
that the bricks are now being delivered atthe in
tended location. While we would be the last to
infringe on the rights of any individual, yet surely
after the terrible explosion at the old Marine Hos
pital the night of the list ult, it is not out OF
place for us to talk Of the intended erection of
similar works in the midst Of large and constantly
increasing population. ..
