The statement in the published report of Mr. E J. Allen (Government detective) that negroes committed under the District laws as runaways are sold fbr thoir jail fees if no owner eventually establishes 2 lawful claim to them, proves to have originated with a negro confined under the law in question, who told Mr. Allen that Ae had been #0 Informed by the consiab/e who took him up! Upon such testimony concerning the law, is it, ‘hat the abolition press and pow-wowers of the country sre just now tearing their hair over slavery in the District of Columbia: If there exists a law upon ovr statute books authorizing the sale of negroes here for jail fees, it isso obsolete that persons who, like ourself, were born snd reared, and have lived a life time within sight of the dome of the Capitol, bave never before heard of its existence. Certain it is, that no such sale has taken place here within the last belf century—or the memory of the “oldest inbabitant’’—not one. {t ia worthy of note that the testimony upon which Mr. Allen bas based all the statement of facts of his rhetorical and poetic report are de- tived wholly from negroes in jail, incarcerated, a2 be says, on the presumption that they are run- sways. Hod be lived in this community a ingle decade, he would have known, as our own citi- zens do, how little reliance is to be placed on such testimony. The report in question is evidently being used to bring about the legal abolition of negro slavery in the District of Columbia, which fact gives itall its impertance. In this connection we bave to say that slavery is already practically abolished here, by the anomalous condition of the country. To abolish what the abolitionists term the * black code" of the District of Columbia, instead of ao emending it as tq prevent injustice from being done through it, will prove a dire calamity to this community, already overrun with free ne- groes—a class sgainst whose presence among them the citizens of non-slaveboiding Illinots beve stringently provided by constitutional re striction. Under the operations of the code in Question, though some wrongs may have been Perpetrated through antiquated clauses of it, the i MILITARY BUDGET. po emia! atm EB ALARM. Last evening, a Wisconsin regiment in the di- vision of Gen. McDowell injegined that they had discovered the enemy at a distance, advancing In Jarge force In an instant the news was tele- graphed to headquarters bere, and in‘the next quarter of an hour the divisions commanded by Generals Sumner, Heinteleman, Franklin, Blen- ker, McDowell, Porter ant’ McCall, were all under arms, prepared to receive the foe that was alleged to be matching upon the Wnion lines. Great vigilance was exercised throughovt cur whole force throughout the night, scouts having been thrown out, instantly, to feel, as it were, for the enemy tn eVery direction. This morning Genera! McDowell telegraphed that he had as- certained that the Wisconsin regiment in ques- tion bad mistaken a reconnoitering force from Blenker’s division for the enemy, which led to the alarm being given. : We have information from Gen. McDowell’s immediate front up to 9a. m. to-day, when bis scouts hed returned, reporting that no enemy had been this side of Fairfax Court-Hdube of late Gen. Newton, of Franklin’s brigade, also sent to scout the country in his front, and found no traces of the enemy’s proximity up to 10a. m. to-day Gen. Sumner held bis division in readiness to ad- vance at a moment’s warning up to 10 a. m. to- day, with bis first brigade and a battery of four guns in advance, on Edsall’s Hill. Gen. Heintzleman telegraphed a few hours Since that bis scouts had also been unable to find an enemy in his front, and eo did Gen. Blenker. We publish theée facts In order that the public may comprehend how well arranged are all the plans of the army for acting !n concert upon an instant’s warning. Or, in other words, how ef- ficient its discipline and methcd is rapidly be. coming NAVY YARD. The Mount Washington arrived at the yard last night, but with no news of importance. The steamer Yankee left the yard last night, where she has been undergoing extensive repairs, und joined the flotilla. She now relieves the Harriet Lane, as flag-ship, the latter vessel, it is rumored, being destined for servicve elsewhere. The King Phillip has been removed from the waysand will soon be completed. The Satellite and Leslie are also about ready for service again Yesterday, the seamen manned the launches and cutters at the yard, and, under Lieut. Parker, rowed out into the stream, where they engaged In ashrm fight, the engagement lasting for some time. Each boat carried a rifled howitzer, which blazed away in furious style, the men perform: ing admirably, and executing the various evolu- tions with their little fleet in a manner highly creditable to themselves and their drill officers. Should our jolly Jack tars, under Lieut. I’'arker, be so fortunate as to get a brush at secesh, either on land or water, somebody will certainly « get hurt. The workmen were to-day being paid off COLONEL KERRIGAN The trial of this officer, now In progress, at- tracts a greater throng of spectators to Aylmer’s Building, opposite the War Department, than usualon such occasions of late. Besides Ed. L Hearne, of N. Y., the Hon Reverdy Johnson acts 2s bis counsel. To-day, Gen. Martindale, called for the prose- eution, has been under examination. His testi- mony went to prove utter insubordination on Col K.’s part, and an entire lack of the discipline in his regiment necessary to make !t useful to the service Quite e number of witnesses had been previous- free negro population of Washington have been | '¥ €*#tined, whose testimony leads to a similar for balf a century more prosperous individually, | conclusion, and that dissipation was apparently more serviceabie to society at large, and in every. | ** ‘he bottom of bis reprehensible conduct. ‘way In better cofidition than the free negroes of the North General experience teaches that they require different laws for their government than those applicable to a white Population ; and expe- tience Aers teaches that the operation of such laws ™may greatly benefit them, and ward off the evils facid@at to themselves and society arising out of thelr presence at the North without their restrain- ing influence. If revolutionary changes be made in the local law of the District in this connection, for bun- combe at the North. instead ef a free negte popu- lation of perhaps 14,000, in the current anomalous condition of the country the District of Columbia cannot fail to become at once the harbor for at Teast 50,000 negroes, practically freed as an incident of the war. With such a population, without especial restraining laws, Washington will be rendered almost uninhabitable to the white man. The busipess of our white laboring Population of both sexes will be utterly ruined by this influx of negroes, who will only work, as at the North, when they cannot otherwise manage to keep life in their bodies. The abolitionists of Congress who can see naught worthy of their Sympathy in the condition of any class in any community but the negro class, will of course Continue their tinkering experiments upon the local affairs of the District of Columbia, until they make it nothing less than a hell upon earth for the white man. These are facts and legiti- Mate consequences, the force of which all our fellow-citizens of well balanced minds already realize. $$$ _______ New Booxs—Through Hudson Taylor, 334 Pennsylvania avenue, we have the following , from the press of the Harpers, New York: Streaks of Light; or fifty-two facts from the Bible for the Afty-two Sundays of the year.

FROM THE LOWER POTOMAC A Confederate Picket Guard Shelled by the Flo- tilla—Confederate Storenouse Burnt. The Secretary of the Navy yesterday recetved the following letter from R.M_ Wyman, lieuten- ant commanding the Potomar fotilla: U.S. Stgamer Haraigr Lave, Off Matawoman Creek, Dec 9th. Sir:—I have the honor to report to you that this morning, about half-paat nine o’clock, see- ing the enemy’s pickets, with three camp ons, and a mounted ofticer coming down the road to the southward of Freestone Point, and halting at some buildings near the beach, | directed the steamers Jacob Bell and Anacostia to sbell the buildings. [I stocd in with this vessel as far as the draft of water would admit, to Protect them in the event of the enemy bringing « field battery to Freestone Point After shelling the buildings and bill, and driv- ing back the pickets, Lieut. Commanding McCrae landed with a few men and fired four houses, which have since burned tothe ground.

The large number of enlisted men,discharzed on “Certificates of Disability,’’ has attracted the notice of the General-in-chief, and, as it is an especial duty to render the rank and file of the Army as effective as possible, the attention of Superintendents and other officers concerned, either with the enlistment of men, or their dis- charge on account of disability, is directed to the judicious discharge of their respective duties. Evidence is abundant, as attested by the re- cords of the Adjntant General’s Office, that many men have been enlisted who were “unfit for eer- vice” prior to or date of enlistment. It should be borne in mind that the law provides for the enlistment of ‘effective able-bodied” men: and if any officer shell enlist any m contrary to the true intent and meaning of the law it is fur- ther provided that for every offence ‘‘he shall forfeit and pay the amount of the Dounty and esr, which the person so recruited may have received from the public, to be deducted out of the pay and emoluments of such officer."”’, With this object in view, paragraphs 960 and 981, Re- ae egulations, must be strictly complied with.
