RULES FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE TREAS.
URY.-Secretary Boutwell, will shortly sue a
circular prescribing the rule, and regulations ;
for the government of clerks and employees d
the Treasury Department and various BUREAUS
thereof, prohibiting visits being made to clerk 9
during office hours, requiring physicians
certificate in case of 81 ckness, forbidding smok-
ing in the Department, &c. The principal fea
lures of the circular are similar to tho3e now
in use; but it is probable that the office hours
will be fixed from a. m. until 3 p. m, instel Id
OF p. m, as heretofore.
GOVERNOR OF NEW MExIco.-The case of
Col. q. Q. Grow, of Alabama, recently con-
firmed by the Senate as Governor of New
Mexico, was discussed in the Cabinet yestar-
day. Col. Grow held the commission of Col
onel in the rebel army, and the President was
unable to commission him on account of his
political disabilities not having been removed
by Congress- 1t was finally decided that the
present incumbent should retain his position
until the meeting Of Congress, when the friends
of Col. Grow will make an effort to have his
disabilities removed. As the present incum.
bent was q General in the Union army,
and wounded in 81 engagement with Colonel
Crow. it is thought there will be great opposi.
ton in the House to removing the latter's disa-
bilitics.
THR DIsPATCHEs FROM MKxICo-IMPoR.
TANT PEoPo3ITIONP.-As menaored in the
stan Of last evening, DIR. q. w. Brink, u. ).
Vice Consul at Mexico, delivered his des.
patches from Gen. Rosecrans, our Minister to
Mexico to the President yesterday morning,
and they were opened in the Clbinet meeting
during the AFTERNOON. These dispatches were
directed to the President and Secretary Fish
Gen. Rosecrans gives an account Of the present
condition of Mexico, stating that he has the full
object in transmitting these dispatches is to
request that he may remain in that country as
our preventive for q shors time yet, in order
to consummate certain treaties which he has
bsen negotiating, looking to a cession OF
c. aiL territory to the United States by
the Mexican Government, providing We
extend to them aid to relieve them
from their present financial embarrassment.
General Rosecraps hopes that he may be
allowed to continue his friendly offices with
the Juarcz Government, as he has no doubt
that he will be able to shortly enter into such
negotiations as will secure to us the ecquisi-
tion OF Sonora and other territory contiguous
to the Unit-d States, by which we will have
possession OF great portion Of the Gulf OF
California and the fine harbor of Guaymas
Ge neral Rosecrans in his dispatches gives his
views upon the condition OF Mexico, showing
the many dangers arising from domestic DIS
turbances and pecunIary embarra ssments,
which prevent national and social improve
meLts. He strongly urges that the United
States aid the JuareZ Government, by purchas-
ing such territory as is referred to in the de.
spatches; or take a mortgage upon the same, in
consideration OF lending our credit to thai
Government TO relieve 1t from it's present en-
barrassment. The President, II is said, will
merely notify General Rosecrans that our ne w
Minister to Mexico, Mr.. Nelson, will soon
arrive here, Re beipg ready to sill within a
few days. and will he properly instructed as 10
his cour Sc. 1t is not probable that the Admin.
is:ration will extend aid to the Juarez Gov.
erDment.
