rRIBUNE's SPECIAL.

WAsHNGToN, March 1eth.-Last night
there returned to Camp Curtis a scouting
party of the New Jersey cavalry, which had
penetrated three miles southwark beyond
Occoquan. They confirm tidings of the
complete abandonment of that section of
country BY the rebels. They broaght a
prisoneg, one Lynn, Ex-Dsputy Sheriff of
the city of Occoquan. 80
The Government has information from
several sources that the four steam rams
now building by the rebels, two at Mobile
and two at New Orleans, are similar in con-
struction, though undoubtedly more for
midable than the Hollins turtle; they will,
however, it liz believed, bear no comparison
with the Merrimac

The Richmond market reports of the 5th

commands good prices, and has, within the
past two weeks, shown rather an upward
tendency. This we think is mainly due to
the vast quantity Of money in the market
seeking secure investment"
The Nashville Patriot says 1--WE have
already intimated the probability Of Beaure-
gard being assigned the chief command at
Columbus, and we are now enabled to state
authoritatively that such is the fact"
The Nashville Patriot contains long card
from Ben. Mccullough, addressed to the
Richmond Wing, in which he abuses Gen.
Price, accusing him of robbing the Louisi-
an and Arkansas soldiers of their share of
the glory won in the battle of Spr ingfeld, in
which the Louisiana regiment took SigePs
battery at the point of the bayonet.
The Confederate steamer Merrimac, at
Norfolk, as altered, it is said. will not be
likely to fulfil the expectations formed con-
corning her. She is too heavily plated, and
draws too much water. They are, however,
again altering her at the Norfolk navy yard
and expect to make her more efficient.
The railroad line from Mobile along the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad is finished. This

The OUTRAGE upon Christianity and pro-

The OUTRAGE upon Christianity and pro-
priety committed upon the Rev. K. j. Stew
art, was The principal theme of conversation
yesterday and to-day. Gen. Montgomery,
the Military Governor Of this place, pro-
nounced it disgrace and an outrage, and
there are but few who do not q nsider it an
unjust and unjustifable act, and condemn it
accordingly.
It is, perhaps, material to add, that the
fact Of the omsssion, which has been referred
to, was known to Gen. Montgomery a month
ago, and was by him communicated to the
government at Washington. 10 ascertain
the truth Of rumors brought to him, he sent
for the ministers having temporary charge
of the church-the Rev. George A. Smith
and the Rev. X. j. Stewart, and, in a free
and friendly conversation, was accurately in
formed of every particular in which he could
have any interest. He stated that he had
felt bound to communicate to Washin gton
the fact of the omission of the prayer for
the President, and had received no instruc-
tions to interfere, and that he would not un-
less such instructions were received. He tvok
the ground that while, for any seditious Ian
guage tending to promote disaffection to the
government, he would cause church to be
closed, he did not think the present case
called for official notice on his part.
Thus supposing the matter to be decided,
and having no intimation Of any purpose of
interference from the military authorities, it
was with the greatest surprise and indigna-
ton that the ministers and congregation ex-
perienced the outrage which has been de-
scribed. Whether the individual who is pri-
marily responsible for it, had the instructions
from Washington upon which he protested
to act, does not appear
