WASHINGTON, March 24. – The Senate to-day confirmed about
four hundred army appointments, principally of minor grades. Among them in the Adjutant General’s Office
department were R. G. Wagner of Kentucky as Adjutant.
The only two Brigadier Generals of Volunteers confirmed, are
F. M. R. Strong and Col. Mahon and D. Wilson of Indiana.
Post Master General Blair issued the following notice:
To the Post Masters of
the United States:
The Secretary of War now regulates the transmission of
information by telegraph affecting the conduct of the war, in order to prevent
the communication of such information to the rebels; it is also thought
necessary by the Secretary to put a restriction on the publication of facts of
this character however obtained and the aid of this Department is requested for
this purpose. You will therefore, notify
publishers not to publish any fact which has been excluded from the telegraph,
and that a disregard of this order will subject the paper to be excluded from
the mails.
(Signed)
M. BLAIR,
Postmaster General.
