The Washington correspondent of the New York Post says that
the President informed a Senator, one evening last week, that the original plan
of the Burnside expedition had been given up, because the rebels had got hold
of it. The same writer says:
The attention of the new Secretary of War has been directed
to the fact that Secessionists in the District are in constant correspondence with
the rebel leaders, and that rebel spies reside in Washington. A prominent citizen yesterday gave
information that a well known rebel army officer is secreted among his family
friends here. He has not yet been
discovered by the Government detectives but the fact he was in the city last
week, is established beyond a doubt.
