NOTHr3LE RECEIVED AT HEAD WAITERS. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. =EI Sedalia charges having been presented• to the War - Depeitment alleging that Major James Belger, assistant Quartermaster, at the hapor Jant depot at tiltimore, was abusing his charge ' by making hislarchaaes from, and employing 'as Subordinate arras, persons inimical to the Vovenamerst. ' - the matter was -referred to Major. Omni* Dix for investigation. That officer whose. high toned character and rigid loyalty made him of all others the proper one to investigate so serious a charge, has submitted - Qs/a report calling before him some of the moat prominent citizens of Balti more who were in frequent intercourse with, Major Belger and obtaining from them state ments in writing of what they knew as to his general course in making his purchases and giv ing employments. The General comes to the con clusion that the charges against Major Belger are so far as they allege an intentional bestowment of public patronage on disloyal men, utterly groundless. It could scarcely have been avoided, being a stranger in Baltimore, that some of his purchases should have been from disloyal men ; but it is shown most con clusively that his efforts have been to throw the -pnblie money entrusted to him into the right channels, and that, wherever he had found himself deceived as to the Union proclivAties of his agents, even down to carters and draymen` he has applied the corrective remedy by missing them from service. Oen. Dix, in con cluding his report, says : I think him (Major Bolger) an efficient, faithful, consdonclous pub lic servant, and believe the pecuniary interests of the Department will not suffer in his bands. The Post Office Department is much troubled by Post Masters failing to add the name of County and State to their letters, and by em bracing different subjects belonging to different officits in the same letter. This necessity - do. Its action, and Post Motors oliouldithii evil ; particularly no other papers should be enclosed with the quarterly returns sad post bills. The city was rife last night as well a. this morning of a fight on the other side of the Potomac, and even in usually well informed quarters there is conflicting information on the subject.
