Fever.
WASHINGTON, December 3. A large num-
ber Of newly elected senators and congressman
made complimentary calls nj the White House
yesterday. - much Of the Presidents time
was thus consumed that no other visitors were
received.
II was understood here last week that the
release Of Mallory, rebel secretary Of the Navy,
would be conditioned upon his furnishing 10
our authorities all the heinformatiOn he possessed
concerning the archives Of the rebel navy. II
will undoubtedly transpirc that they were
burned AT Charlotte. North Carolina, by order
OF JEFF Davis. during the route that followed
the surrender Of Johnson. The record Of the
rebel State Department. II not destroyed, are
In Georgia, at some spot unknown to the
United states authorities.
The Old Capital Prison having been closed
and the prisoner generally discharged, the
disposition of the prominent state prisoners
confined there becomes a mater OF interest.
Captain X. l.. Walbridge. late COmmandant of
Old Capitol. started this afternoon with Dick
Winder. Major John II. Gee and Captain John
Duncan. for delivery al southern posts, where

Martial will be formed i'm the districts COM
manded by these Generals for the trial Of these
prisoners separately, but no especial effort VIII
be made TO implicate other rebels in their in
humanities. Winder and Duncan went of in
very good spirits, believing that in fair, quiet
trial their chances were good.
A few Aiabamians OF no especial promi-
nence were pardoned to-day by the President.
The rebel General Sterling Price has for
warded his application TO be allowed 10 return
to the United States 10 be pardOned.
ease of genuine yellow fever was disc0v

Lima was captured on the morning Of No

That night General Riyas abandoned his post

in possession Of AN excited mob who divided
