FROM WASHINGTON.
No Later News from Charleston
Order From General Hooker.
WASHINGTON. April I.

WASHINGTON, April b.
The Richmond Wing of Saturday has no.
thing later than the 9th from Charleston. The
fleet was then off the bar.
Maj. Gen Hooker has issued an order in
which he reprimands in general terms officers
who send incorrect information from the picket
lines. The outposts of an army, he says. are
its safeguards, and this duty must be so per-
formed that the camps are not unnecessarily
disturbed. Officers of outp0sts are expected
to inform themselves accurately of all events
TRANSPORTING in their vicinity, and those whose
fears magnify squads into large bodies of the
enemy, as richly deserve death as the base
wretch who deserts his country's flag or his
comrades in battle. 1t has been too much
practice upon outposts and battle fields to
send back reports aud calls for reinforce
ments founded upon Imagination or the
tales of frightened or cowardly shirk.-
The fate of battle may be changed by such
reports. Officers will be held responsible that
their reports from the front are perfectly re-
liable. Corps commanders will take efiectual
measures to prevent struggling, which must
not be permitted. Regiments not moving
promptly as ordered, permitting struggling, or
where the officers show lack OF capacity and
zeal in pushing forward and overcoming OBJ
stacles, must be reported for such neglect, in
addition to other measures that may be taken
by commanders in such cases for the enforce
ment Of discipline.

NEW YORK, April -.
The Paymaster's safe, at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, was robbed last night of from $4,000
to Sl4.o00 in legal tender notes.
There was a small riot in South street, to-
day, between the whites and negroes, in which
the ringleaders of the former was shot dead
by one of the latter.
Ldter.-The riot to-day between the negro
and Irish laborers was quite serious for time.
The Irish are said 10 have commenced the row
and hurled missiles at the negroes, driving
them off a pier into boats. At this moment
one of the negroes, named Oney, fred pis-
tol, wounding James Agar in the head, but
not seriously. Another account says Agar's
wound was inflicted by brick thrown by one
of the mob behind him. The riot was soon
stopped by the police.
There was another fight between the whites
and negroes in Pine street this afternoon.
Some of the latter were badly handled. The
police soon quelled the affair. A number of
arrests were made in both eases.
