Adams' Express Company.

--The following order was issued on last Friday by Gen. Mansfield, the commander at Washington:

‘ I ordered by telegraph the agent of Adams' Express at New York and Philadelphia and Baltimore, that in future no express matter, inclusive of letters, will be permitted, to go south of the city, into Virginia.

Last evening Col. Stone seized, by my order, the Express matter, and stopped all contraband goods, and allowed the balance to go forward.

Hereafter none will cross the Potomac.

In retaliation for the seizure of goods bound South, Gov. Letcher has issued an order to prevent the sending out of the State anything to be used at the North. As stated on Saturday, a lot of tobacco was stopped at Alexandria on the day before, and will be returned to where it was sent from.
