CONFEDERATE PAROLES.
General Asbooth, commanding at Bar.

is hereby announced that the spirit of this
parole was to obey the laws of the United
States, and any violation of these laws, as
well IS the proclamation of the President
of the United States in regard to slavery,
will be met within this Military District
with speedy punishment.

The Herald's Fortress Monroe correspon,
dent says two pieces of the old frigats Con-
grsss, one weighing twenty and the other
forty tons, have been raised, and are now at
the Navy Yard. These two pieces were
blown cut of the side of the ship when she
exploded. It will be remembered that 90
feet of the stern was broken of, which was
raised prior TO the raising recently of the |
main part.
VOLUNTEER oFFIeERS.
The Tribunes Washington special says
Gen. John R. HAWley, of Gen. Terry's
Staff, Col. Ingraham, Provost Marshal for
the District of Columbia, and Col. Wooley,
Postmaster of Baltimore, are only volun-
teer officers who have been retained in the
service by special orders
CLAIM AGENCY. ---
The Herald's special says The opera
tions Of the Central Sanitary Commission
did not by any means cease with the close
of the war. The officers of the Commis-
sion in this city are engaged in the Claim
Agency business, which bids fair to eclipse
that of all private agencies. Combined
they now All ten thousand claims month
in all the departments, and more than one
half of the claims in the Pension Bureau.
0nehundFed andffteen Sub.Agencies are es
tablished at prominent points in the North
ern States and the business is expected to
reach twenty-five thousand claims month.
All this expressive claim business is trans
acted for discharged soldiers free.
The Commission is making arrange
ments TO distribute its immense stock of
sanitary stores remaining on hand at the
time of disbanding the armies. It consists
OF hospital furniture broken packages of
condensed meats and vegetables, clothing
and other articles which cannot be used
nor returned to the donors. The question !
Is raised of distributing it among the ]
freedmen, but 1t Is notorious that the new Z
race is less in need of it than thousands of 9
war widows and orphans in States for
whom no bureau or aid exists. q
DECISION. I
The Secretary of the Treasury has de-
cided in the case of the recently appointed
Collector of Customs at Georgetown, s. o. a
who could not take the prescribed oath be- a
cause he had participated In the rebellion. ]
that he and similar sppointees may per.
form the duties of the Office without pay
until Congress assemblies, they running the
risk of Congress providing for tho pay Of . :
THAR salaries.

The Worlds correspondent from Dublin, Z
Ireland, says that Fenianism is at last q
spreading where it can do good or evil, as /
the case may be. Agents have been in
Ireland, and in an incredible short space of :
time have created the most terrible excite !
ment not only here, but throughout the +
entire kingdom. The greatest alarm pre- g
walls among the priesthood, the majority :
Of whom, though opposed to English rule, !
denounce Fenianism from the pulpit. The ]
secres of their opposition lies in the fact t
that the order leads the people from the
priesthood. They favor any movement
against England, either moral or physical, /
but 1t must be originated BY them and be i
guided by them. We hear that the Fsni-
ans are drilling throughout the country,
in some places merely in squads, at others
in entire regiments. The lazy constabulary
here have had very hard time of it of
late. The authorities in great many
instances have sent these officers out !.
accommodating whore the Fsnians are drill {
ling. They are kept constantly on the
march, but it is seldom that they meet their
enemy. Only three collisions hsv g thus far
taken place, one of them resulting in the !
loss of life The young men in various
parts of Dublin have clubbed together and
subscribed money, and as they can't all
afford to go to the country and encamp
there for several days, they have hired
halls where they are taught in military
drill. Constabulsry here are sware of these
secret assemblies but either dare not or
will not interfere with them, Our friends
in the United States now look forward for
some practical works shortly.
