From our Th From Washington. [Special Despatch to the Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—1 t having come to the knowledge of the State Department, that articles contraband of, war. were being _shipped 'from' brew York to 11Sagimilia~'s government; peremptory orders haye been despatched to the United',-States -District. Attorney to institute rigid examination,anci seiza all such articles-wherever found. Strong efforts are being made'_ to induce Congress to allow the General ;GOvarittnent to.assume the war debt of the.seSeral States.. The Secretary of the Treasury is opposed to' this measure. He is also opposed to re pealing the tax on incomes. -. The appointment of Hon. L. D. Cainpbell' as minister to Mexico, is riot satisfactory to' the friends of the liberal party here. They want a more positive man. lThe Blot at Alexandria ' Na. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The Alexandria ; (Va.) Journal, in giving an account of the riot there on Christmas, says: ' Whiskey flowed in streams from many restaurants, and from some it was dealt out as liberally to the colored people as to the whites. Early in ths morning it was ob served that all the young "reconstructed" gentlemen were well armed. Rioting commenced at an early hour, and by one o'clock P. M. had assumed such , fearful proportions that the Mayor found it, necessary to`call upon the military author ities for assistance to, suppress it. Three companies of Hancock's veterans were forthwith ordered out and proceeded to arrest every one found engaged in rioting and disorderly conduct. Many persons had been seriously and dangerously wounded before they appeared on the scene of action. It was found necessary to arrest between fifty and one'hundred of the ringleaders of the various disturbances then going on throughout the city, who were mostly sent to the slave pen; where they were compelled to remain during the remainder of the day and night. Some of them were yesterday morning . released, while the more guilty are still m confinement. It seems that the first reports were exag gerated, as the Journal says some 50 or 100 colored men were badly beaten; but so far as we have been able to learn but two were so badly injured as to preclude the hope of recovery. During the day a most unpro voked riot was reported to have occurred at Chapel Hall, where a number of colored people were holding a party. A white man by the name of Mitchell who is said to have participated in the riot, was seriously wounded in the head, and, at 1 o'clock this afternoon his death was currently reported. The Freedmen in Mississippi. It appears from documents in possession of the Bureau of Refugees and Freedmen that a recent order issued in Mississippi by Major Thomas for the adoption of the most stringent measures to prevent insurrection among the Freedmen, was merely to quiet the frightened citizens by Indicating the readiness . of the Bureau to take prompt steps for the preservation of order in any event. and not because there were any fears on the part of the Govern ment officers of aninsurrection in that State. Col. Thomas, the Assistant Commis sioner, says the instructions to Major Rey nolds were not of such a character as to warrant this order.
