Lamb.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.
The United States District Court for Eastern
Virginia will open at Alexandria, for the first
time since the rebellion commenced, on Monday
next. Its principal business will be the adu-
dication of many cases under the conflscation
act, as preliminary to the sale of rebel estates.
The published statement that such property
would be sold on the above mentioned day is
therefore erroneous.
Although the blockade of Alexandria has
been nomnaly raised, the restrictions of the
pass system materially initiates against the
trade of importation.
As there seems to be a misapprehension
about prize money, it may be well to state that
the Court determine what parties are entitled
to share in the specified net proceeds, which
in pursuance of the law, are paid be the Mar
shals into the Treasury. The lists are furnish
ed by the Navy Department to the 4th Auditor
OF the Treasury, who makes the distinction.
IL has been enormously published in the
newspapers, that only 100000 has been award
ed to captors. The first official report on
that subject made to Congress in February
last, states the amounts ordered to be dis
tributed, at Sl,769,000
The suspension of the Kickapoo treaty con-
tinues, awaiting the return of Commissioner
Dale, who has been investigating in Kansas
the circumstances under which it was made.
The treaty involves the possession Of the best
lands in the State, and affects railroad and
agricultural interests.
The subcommittee OF the Missouri and
Kansas delegations do not expect an interview
with the President before next Monday
They called to-day, but he was busy with
Cabinet affairs.
John NJ. Lamb, the newspaper contractor
for the army of the Potomac, who was ar
rested at Alexandria last week on the charge
OF smuggling quinine through our lines, has
been examined by Col. Wells, commander of
the post, and discharged.
