agree TO this, aud report against the reduction
of pay of officers. A crowd of officers have
peti,ioned both Houses for this form Of TO
trencbment.

Alexandria, is abusing his Office by releasing
rebels arrested by his subordinates. Not con
tent with allowing the Rev. Dir. Stewart to omit
the prayer for the President from the service,
he has set bin at liberty, after his arrest on
account of that reasonable omission. The
