March 20.
Notwithstanding the quotations of gold in
the Richmond papers. it is known here that
from $500 to $3.50 in Confederate notes have
been offered within the past two days in Fred
ericksburg, and, moreover. 1925 in Virginia
bank notes and $3.50 in Confederate notes are
freely paid for national currency
The Richmond Examiner of Yesterday has
an extraordinary leader, the tone of which is
evidently intended to prepare the public mind
OF the South for serious reverses to the
Confederate arms on the line of the Kappa
hammock. 1t commences with the following
significant language: "The active operations
of the chief Federal army, under Hooker, are
now commenced, and either decisive battle
or the retreat of Gen. Lee must be the speedy
consequence. The latter contingency is pos
sible but not probable, and another heavy
struggle over the line of the Rappahannock
may be safely anticipated After specializing
on the supposed plan of Gen. Hooker, and the
strength and probabilities of the success of
Gen. Lees forces, the editor remarks: III,
however, the Confederate Generals force Is
not sufficiently numerous to prevent the COM
pletion of the maneuvre it is supposed no course
remains but TO fall back upon some point near
er Richmond, and give the enemy battle at
greater distance from his base"
There is nothing of importance from any
scene of active operations in the field.
There was heavy fall of snow here during
yesterday and last night. 1t is cold now.

WASHINGTON. March 20.

WASHINGTON, March 20.
The issuing of the order of seizure acts,
commonly called the coniiscation laws, is en-
trusted to the discretion oil District Attornies.
While ii is enjoined upon them to be yigilant
to execute the statutes, they are required to
be careful TO avoid hasty and improvident
seizures. In every instance they must be sat
isfled that there is probable cause for the
seizure, and that they have reasonable ground
to believe that they can prove in court the facts
necessary to warrant the condemnation. For
otherwise, besides the injustice which may be
done to individuals, the Government would be
put to great expense. and be discredited by the
frequent failure Of its prosecutions. There
have as yet been no condemnations under the
confscation law, but information has reached
Washington from various quarters of prelimi-
nary proceedings in the premises.
The official bonds given by Collectors and
Deputy Collectors on entering upon their
duties, are required to be stamped in accord
ance with the provisions of the excise law.
Commander Preble has been ordered to the
