Washington News.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-Lord Lyons, who
returned to Washington yesterday, made visit
Of courtesy to President Lincoln this morning,
in company with Secretary Seward.
General John G. Fremont has not been order.
ed hither, but visits Washington on leave asked
fer and granted month ago.
1t is ascertained on inquiry that no resigna-
tons have been received from the officers in
in the army of the Potomac since the change in
commanders, and that officers who are not dis
posed to continue in the service in consequence
OF the change will find no difficulty in being
eieved.
The story about an alleged iron-clad which
ran the blockade off Charleston, is traceabie
here to an event that occurred over a month
ago, and which was soon after published. The
fairbanks riaed guns made no impression upon
tie blockade runner, simply because none Of
the random shots struck her, the rebel steamer
mmed the Flsmbeau, during the night.
Much that is said about the rebels being re-
inforced with iron-clad vessels from Europe,
fnds no confirmation at the Navy Department,
which is not Indifferent to obtaining facts on
that subject

the surrender Of Harpe. e Ferry having reported
that Col Thos H. Ford. OF the S2d Ohio vol
unteers, conducted the defense of MARYLAND
Heights without ability abandoned his position

Ford, BY direction of the President, is dismissed
from the service Of the United States.

behavior of the l26th New York Infantry was
disgraceful and that Major VIM. b. Baird, for
his bad conduct, ought to be dismissed, the said
Major Baird, of the l26th New York volunteers,
is, BY direction of the President, dismissed from

of 600 claims have been located in line 35
miles long. Some are partially opened from

parties much confidence in the value of the new

New YORK, Nov. l3.-For the last Is months
the most gigantic system OF fraud against the
Governme mt has been going on in this city, by
means of forged bills on the Subsistence Depart.
ment in White street. The facts are, that SOL
omon Johnston, Broker and &. B. Tracy, Bro>
ker, have been in the habit of purchasing bills
on the Subsistence Department in this city, for
half and sometimes fourth of their apparent
value. Parties we're employed to hunt up con-
tractors who have subssted men, and some OF
the latter we're lead to sign bills for subsistiDg
1000 men, when had really provided for but one
hundred. As many as fifty persons are implics-
ted in these frauds, and quite number of them
are already in custody.
Johnston and Tracy we're arrested on Tuesday
and taken to Fort La Fayette. One of the mum.
ber confesses to having sold 100000 worth Of
these bills, and another acknowledges still lar
ger sum, great deal of which was fraudulent
It was supposed the whole would amount to not
far from million dollars.
