From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The senate to-day
passed the bill organizing the territory of Ar-
iona. This territory contains about l20, 900
square miles, and is therefore larger than
three states of the size OF Ohio. 1t is said by
those who have spent several years there to
contain more and richer silver mines than
any territory under the government Gold is
also found in many psrts Of the territory.
Fleet captain Pennock, under date of Cairo

boat New Era, at or near Island No. 10, for

and morphine, and large quantities of arms,
rebel uniforms, army blankets, and other gem
eral merchandise, contraband of war. The

containing important information. The steam

sent up there from Belsa.
Z. +. Miller, who has been employed as
clerk in Richmond, arrived here to-day, hav-
ing made his escape to one of the boats of

A Rebel Spy Arrested in New YOr<-La-
ter from Richmond.

NEW York, Feb. 2O.-Col. Chas. Carroll
Hicks of the rebel army, and late detective
for the rebels in Richmond, was arrested this
afternoon at the St. Nicholas Hotel.
The Post has information, through a gen.
tleman from Richmond, that the rebel army
has done growing. Every man in the south
between eighteen and forty who can possibly
bear arms is now in service. There is a bill
before the rebel congress conscripting even
foreigners and Marylanders. The supplies OF
the rebel army, except shoes, are better than
they have been. Shoes are scarce.
The rebels are reported short of powder,
and forage is scarce, while people en- route
from Richmond towards Fredericksburg are
at the point of starvation. This informant
is certain that there is formidable rebel force
in front of Hooker, and laughs at the asser-
ton that part of Lees army has gone to
Wick sburr.

Young lady in neighboring town prepared

BOLD FoRGRRIEs.-A series of bold forg-
cries have come to light in this neighborhood
during the past week. A young man named
Jeremiah Ii. Robbins of Melville, doing bust
ness as daguerrean artist in WoOnsocket,
has been found guilty of various forgeries.
His plan was to take notes, bearing forged en-
dorsements, to the banks in this vicinity and
get them discounted. This business has, it is
now learned, been going on for a year or
more. On Wednesday of last week Robbins
disappeared from this region, and his where.
about are now unknown. He left about three
thousand dollars of forged paper behind him,
which amount will be lost by the banks, among
which are the Woonsocket Falls, Worcester
