Yankee Money.-The Secretary of War,
Hon. James A. Seddon, has given General
Winder the following order respecting money
sent to the Abolition prisoners now con
fined in this city. 1t reads thus
'Yoa will hand over such gold as may be
sent to the prisoners, announcing to them
that, being money.recognized by both Gov
ernments, it is handed TO them in kind, and
that il at any time they wish to convert it
into Confederate money, it will be sold for
them, Oh application, at the market price in
this city. II the amount received be in the
Federal paper, it cannot be handed over to
them in kind, as it is not recognized as
money by the Confederate Government, nor
can its use or circulation be allowed; but il
will at their option be converted, at current
rate of exchange, into Confederate notes,
and such notes delivered to them, or will be
retained in kind for their future use"

Uala'efA Gaming Roflce on Tuesday
night last made - descent on sevesal houses
heretofore kept as fashionable gaming estab-
lishments, but made no arrests save in COrin-
THAN Hall, where party were playing bluff,
using ivory chips as counters. This party,
with John A. Worsham, the proprietor, and
six servants, employed in the house, were
taken into custody, and after partial hear
ing. g.were admitted to bail to answer before tho
Mayor tomorrow. The officers then search
ed the house thoroughly and discovered
several packs Of cards and number of ivory
checks, but no faro box, tpread, CT any other
portion OF the usual panphernaiia incident to
the game Of faro. They also took charge of
the house and furniture, by order Of the
Mayor, and will hold it until he has ad an
opportunity OF thoroughly examining the
new .gaming act" in all its bearings upon
this case Profitable as gaming has been,
those who undertake to carry it on under the
present law will find it a hazardous business.
The police have ample powers to enter sus,
pected houses, aud they will always find
ready iriormers to aid them IN the execution
of law which promises to pay SO well.

MAJOR GEN. GEO Fl. THoMAs-It has been
already stated that this individual, who is
now connected with Rosecrans'A army, Is .
who resides at Jeruralem, the county eeat or
Southampton, informs the editor of the
Spirit Of the Age that Thomas distinguished
himself in the war with Mexico, and on his
return home was presented by the ladies Of
his native county with handsome sword
After the beginning Of the present war, and
Thomas had determined to array himself
against the Sonth, he wrote to his sister to
send him that sword. The true hearted,
patriotic woman, replied that he could not
have sword presented by the women OF
Virginia to turn against their brave fathers,
sons, and brothers, who were lighting In de.
fence Of the land VIII )se birthplace he had
disxraced, and that instead Of sending the
sword to him she would prefer seeing Il
thrust through his traitorous heart.-Ieters-

AFFAIRS IN NEW YoRK-A letter from
New York, dated ti,e l4th inst, gives
the following intelligence from that me-

The iron-clad Manhattan was launched
from Sccors yard, Jersey City, tits morning,
in the presence Of several thousand specsa-

by Miss Gregory, grand daughter OF Tue a.. 40.
miral, after which the "mOnster" glided into
the water without the slightest mishap aud
amidst the cheers of the multitude. The di-
mensions of the Manhattan are as follows !:
Extreme length over armor, 235 feet; length
outside of stern post, 1GO feet; extreme beam
over armor, 46 feet; depth Of hold, Is feet.
IL is expected that the Manhattan will be

SECRETARY CHASE ON FoREIGN Az
FAIRs.--At the great Republican meeting
in Cincinnati, on Monday night, Secreta-
ry Chase appeared. He made long
speech, and alluded to foreign affairs in
the following significant terms:
We are showing our strength to the na-
tions OF the Garth, aud if we simply go on
showing our strength there will be no danger
danger, because it win not pay. [Cheers.
1t is true that Great Britain has behaved very
unneighborly. We used to think this great
Anglo Saxon family was to stand together
the world over to establish freedom of the
press, freedom of the ot-box, freedom Of
thought, freedom of speech, and freedom for
III; but of late years We have seen manifesto
tions OF q very nnkind and unfriendly spirit;
and sometimes have felt as If l wanted to
take Old mother England by the hair and
give her u mighty good shaking. Loud
laughter and applause am not sure that
this is the WiSest plan; but of this feel tOl.
erably sure, that England will not send any
more pirate ships out against us; and think
that when England thinks the matter over
calmly-when she reflects Of the Alabama,
fitted out in British port, manned by British
seamen, armed by British guns, and ever
since rowing over the seas, plundering mer-
chant vessels, without bringing a single one
into any port-when they come to look over
these things, they will conclude it is best to
pay the American merchants for all the pill
lage The Alabama has done. Loud cheers.
We have got a sort of new empire upon
our borders in Mexico. Well, gentlemen, l
am not much disturbed about that. En-
pires will not last long in Central America
[Cheers. don't know how long this en-
pirc-if it gets bOrn-will last. There was
an attempt to make an empire in Mexico
some time ago, and, il am not mistaken,
was no-great succefs. ! do not know that
this Austrian Emperor will find his bed of
roses there, but I am strongly inclined to
think that the roses will be very. few and
the bed very hard. Cheers and loud laugh
ter 1 am willing 10 trust to the future,
and am perfectly sure, taking all things
into consideration, that the EorOpean mon
archs will, in the end, think it best to keep
their institutions at home. l am confident
of this. [Cheers.l / do not propose any
! particular measures just now. 1t is never
wise to advance what you are going to do q
great while in advance Of doing il; but
| think the time will come when the world
will reconsider these things, and when this
Republic of ours will be reestablished from
| the Gulf towards the Pole, and from the At
| lantic to the Pacific, based upon freedom aud
| free labor, gathering strength from our pre-
sent contest, and rising from it grander than
| ever.
