A pi.Srao.rnlk knsn..

About ten O'Clock this forenoon the reAi-
dents in houses on G street, above the War
Department, were startled from their equa-
nimity by terrible yelling of persons in the
street. Citizens rushed to their doors and
windows to learn the cause, when 1t was ascer-
tained that between thirty and forty negroes
were marching irregularly up the street,
(aankcd by a guard Of soldiers, with fixed
bayonets,) bowling TO the extent Of their
ability, waving their hats and arms, much to
the alarm of the occupants Of every house
which they passed. Many Of them were reel
ing and staggering about, which we, at first
sight, (for We witnessed the scene, } interpreted
as the re nit Of fatigue aud a want Of discip-
line, but upon inquiry we learned from per-
son, who assumed to have charge Of them,
that they were actually drunk They were on
their way from the "Contrabsnd Camp" on
Fourteenth street, to Arlington. While pass
ing through tho city they were allowed to stop
and procure liquor. Whoever is responsible
for permitting these ignorant people to stop at
drinking establishments in this city or else,
where, and drink until they get drunk, or to
drink at all, should be dismissed from the ser
vice OF the Government at once II exhibits a
looseness in the management of, these unfor'
tunate people that will result in doing them
more injury, eventually, than If they remained
under the yoke Of slavery. Such a kind oi
education Is disgraceful to civilization.

O'Clock. The darkies having been dancing all

flowing spirits by resort TO the duelio, and Sc
rious one 1t bid fair TO be- too had not the police
iuteriered to restore order. But this was only a
temporary lull, for the lights being put ont they
went at It again, and made desperate assault
who barely escaped alive. An attempt was made
to stab Patrolman Simonds, but the blow fell short
only cutting his uniform. The disturbance was al
length quelled by several citizens who rushed in
to assist the police. This IL the second time this
week that complaints have been lodged against
such disorderly crowds.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

LARCENY TRoM THE GovERNSKSr.-About II
O'Clock last night, ohleers siinchcomb and James
arrested Peter McNaney and George Rainey, night
watohmen at the Government MIL, on street,
between Twenty-hrst and Twenty-seosnd strects,
under the following circumstances Mr.. William
Partridge, superintendent Of the mill, found rea-
son to suspect that these men, together with
others, were engaged In secretly disposng Of large
numbers Of feed bsgs, and pockehng the proceeds,
and he resolved TO Investigate the matter. For
this purpose he appointed another Waterman,
with Instructions to appear TO side with the rob-
bers, and to accept Of any bribe they might offer.
They accordingly came 10 the new watchman and
told him the secret, who pretended to agree with
them, and for several nights received his share OF
the plunder, which he turned over to the superin-
tendent. The police, being informed Of the fact
last evening, suddenly stepped 10 and arrested the
parties In the very act. The amount Of the theft
is known to be about $780, but the real loss Ia doubt
less much greater.

REBEL NEWS FROM THE soUTn-
WEST.
The Rebel purchases of Cotton In aid OF
the Loan.

The New Orleans Era Of the Goth ultlmo re-
produces from the jackson Appeal several items
Of interest not before published here, Among
them Is a proclamation OF Gov. Moore, of Lou
lsina, calling an extra session Of the Leglsla-
ture on the 4th Of May, to interpret the mean
ing Of an act passed at the late session.
The Appeal also publishes the following;
at is understood that Mr.. DeBow, the Con-
federate States agent, has negotiated the pur.
chase of between $50 900 and 175, 900 bales OF
cotton In Louisiana and Mississippi, at an ave
rage Of about 12 cents. This is one half of the
late purchases of the Government in this cotton
district. -Four flfths of this cotton, II may be
fairly assumed, will be saved, and materially
strengthen our bonds in Europe. A large for
oign credit is already predlcated upon II, ana
the tangible results will soon be felt by the
army and the navy. million of bales ought
at least to be under the control Of the Govern
ment, but ii is doubtful II half of that amount
can be procured under the present plan Of op'
orntions. Agents are authorized to pay the
market value Of the cotton, which is ascertained
by reference to what private parties are willing
to pay"
The next thing for the Confederates to
arrange is to get their cotton out Of the Confed'
eracy into foreign markets,
The Appeal furnishes full particulars of the
burning Of the fine steamboat NatchCz, employ
ed by the rebels as a packet between jackson
and Vicksbarg. The APpca! says:
"She was loaded with 800 bales Of cotton
and had on board, at the time she caught fire
I3 persons, including the crew. Three of the
passengers were women. She was burned on
the Yazoo river, come distance above YazoC
City. The boat, cargo, six negroes, and three
white mcn-two passengers and one OF the en-
gineers-were lost The names Of the white
men lost were, Atkins and Bounds. The pilot
when he found the boat on fire, attempted tC
run her into shallow water, but he only partial
ly succeeded"
The Vlcksburg Wig says the transport
steamers L. j. Gay and Thirty-hfth Parable
had been burned by order Of General LoTing
to prevent their falling into the hands Of the
Union troops. They were employed by tht
rebels on the YAzoo river.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Imposing Review of Infantry.
Departure of the President and Mrs LIN

Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
HEADo'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
NT..,- I.J.,. ,..fl Ayru Y IoCg

HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Near Falmouth, April 8, 1868.
Although the special correspondents here
have chronicled in their dispatches, by permis-
sion, the movements Of the President Of the
United States here at the Army Of the Potomac,
II is somewhat amusing to find in the New York
papers, which should have contained these de-
tails, no notice made whatevero of Mr.. Lincoln's
presence here. AS he is in easy telescope range
Of the cncmy's watchmen in the Frodericks-
burg steeples, and as the distant spectators of
the reviews on the Virginia hills can hear the
Presidential salutes, this mystery" is simply
amusing.
Yesterday the grand infantry review came of,
and the masses Of troops must have inspired
Mr.. Lincoln with the utmost confidence in this
portion of the forces Of which he is "com-
mander-in-chief." The officers were evidently
well versed in their duties the men were neatly
clad, healthy in appearance, and brisk in exc
cutting the details Of the movements aud the
arms and equipments were ready for service.
Depend upon it, 1t will not be long ere these
stalwart legions are proving their superiority
in the field, aud arc following to victory gen
eral who knows no such word as fail.
As the "Idler'' Of the REPUBLICAN is now on
visit to camp, will leave him.to decribO the
entertainment given to the President and Mrs.
Lincoln, who are evidently well pleased with
their taste of life in the tented field. The fact
that no passes could be procured for those hang
ers-on who desired to follow the President here
has doubtless done much to promote his COM
fort, and to relieve him from the opportunities
Of place-hunters.
The President left to-day, and was escorted
to Falmouth station, where he took a special
train. There arc no passenger cars on the
road, but box car was made comfortable and
was decked with flags. At Aqua Creek Major
Painter, who is in charge, has improvised some
decorations at the wharf where the party leave
the car for the special steamer in which they
go up the river.
1t is but Just to compliment Maj. Gen. But
terfeld, who is the efficient chief Of staff Of
Gen. Hooker, for the admirable programme
which he arranged for the Presidents visit and
for the precision with which It was carried out.
Such accuracy and energy can but tell when
they arc employed in the field.

The Loan Of Lover" was substituted at
Growers Theatre last night for Pauline" the
French play, announced, hence Miss ISCE did
not appear; aud this circumstance gave SoPHIS
CLIMBER an opportunity to display her peculiar
talents In the part Of Gertrude She displayed
her excellent vocal powers with great effect,
and completely captivatod the audience, who
complimented her with three cHcoreS.
The Post Of Honor introduced SUSAN
DENIM as TrUdchcn, in which she sang, " How

withstanding she was suffering from severe
cold.
Miss ANDEEsoS, young lady with fasei-
mating face, fino figure, and pleasing manner,
appeared in both plays and did herself great
credit. She lacks confidence, but with a little
more experience she will soon overcome that
deficiency. BEN RosERs and MRS. GERMoN
were excellent In their several parts, as they
always are. Mr.. CLIFFORD is a very clever
actor, possessing rare versatility of talent,
but his propensity TO gag, and frequently
ludicrous style Of dress, often destroys the good
opinion tue audience would otherwise entertain
for him. This frequently comes Of an intense
love Of fun, and can be easily remcdcd.
