W WASHINGTON, Aug 10.
The Executive Mansion was again besieged
to-day by large crowd of visitors, one-third of
them being women. The President opened
his office to all of them at the same time and.
paid attention to their respective calls on bust
ness, aided by his private Secretary. The
most important of the throng presented mat
tiers OF the least Importance, some of them hay
ing previously been unsuccessful with the
heads of the departments. Several ex-mem-
bers OF the U. 5. Congress, who have been
prominent in the rebel service, waited in the
ante-room in order to obtain private inter
view with the President after the crowd had
retired.
1t is probable that the Society of Friends
will be represented in the commission appoint-
ed to meet the Chickasaws and many other
Indian tribes in the Grand Council on the list
OF September next. The object of the govern
ment is TO secure peace among them by inn
proving their social conditions and by remoy-
ing SO far as possible some of the causes which
have heretofore provoked them to hostilities
The receipts from Customs for July are rep
resented to be $10,000,000, and those for the
present month will be much larger. Five
Fights of the revenue is collected at New
York.
A gentleman who was in Alexandria says
that Col John S. Mosby attracted crowd
whenever ne made his appearance, and his
presence occasioned much indignation among
the soldiers on duty in that city He came
down from Warrenton to be admitted as a
member of the bar, but Gen. Wells arrested
him on the charge of having broken his parole.
The Colonel briefly but respectfully contro-
verified the point; and the General telegraphed
the Secretary of War for instructions.
The Attorney Generals inquiry of President
johnson whether persons charged with the Of
Tense OF having assassinated the late President
should be tried before military tribunal or
civil court, gave a written opinion sustaining
the former mode of trial. The opinion has
been printed. Aa

EOTRESS MONROE, aug. y.
Information having been received at head
quarters that the coat of the late Col Dahl
gren was in the hands of Charles Davis, OF
Matthews county, Va, an order was issued to
Lieut., S. ]. Townsend, at Camp Hamilton, to
go and secure it, The Lieutenant according
ly left last Sunday, and ON landing on the
farm of one Barney Weston, on North river,
was treated very rudely and disgracefully by
the inhabitants and by Weston and party,
who informed the Lieutenant and his men
that they lived under civil law, and would not
have military there, and spoke contemptuous-
ly of other Union officers. They, however,
ascertained that Mr.. Davis had moved to Nor
folk, and last night the lieutenant succeeded
in obtaining the Colonies coat. It has five
bullet holes in it. Weston's arrest has been
ordered.
The 9TH and Sd Penn. cavalry. recently CON
solidated, arrived this forenoon from Richmond,
en- route for Philadelphia to be mustered out.
Col. X. M. West is in command.
The sale of Government horses and mules
commenced yesterday. The horses brought
from $40 to $175, and mules from $50 to 800;
of the former 100, and of the latter so were
Sold The sale continues to-day.
A thorough search has been made for the
steamer Effort, reported to have left New York
under suspicious circumstances. She is not
in these waters.
The work of raising the Cumberland will
soon be resumed, although the pumps have
not yet been repaired.

SKIRT ELEvAroRs.-If ladies are compelled
by the imperious dictates of Fashion to wear
long trailing dresses it is desirable that some
thing should be done to avoid converting a
costly dress into broom to brush the side
walks and reefs with. The new Nonpareil
Skirt Elevators effect this at very moderate
cost. They are attached to the inside of the
dress and can be fastened or unfastened al
pleasure. The dress is looped up in graceful
folds and will keep clean and wear twice as
long by using one of these Skirt Elevators
This style of wearing the dress is becoming
very fashionable in all large cities. For sale
at the New York Skirt and Corset Store, 26
Market Square. See advertisement. as

The Posts Washington dispatch says adj
vices received at the State Department to-day,
from the American Consul at Malta, state
that the cholera is raging there to fearful ex-
tent. Communication with the adjacent
islands is suspended The quarantine is rig
idly enforced in various places. Our Consuis
at Trieste and Messina state that measures
have been adopted to prevent the cholera from
spreading from the ports to which it has ex-
tended from Egypt
Georgetown Heights, selected for the Presi-
dents residence, is considered too far from the

having expressed preference for the soldiers
