THE NATIONAL DEBT. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has just made public s statement of the public debt, as rs from the books ef the ent on ¢ Rth of September, from which it appears that the public deht has decreased nearly $15,010,000 during the past month.

Yesterday, the first press dispatch from Rich- mond, for the past four years and a half, was received and published in the Star. Arrange- ments are perfected for the uninterrupted trans- mission of news between the North and South. New Parek wn BaLTimone.—The first num- ber of the “ Baltimore Daily Commercial,” a large and well-filled sheet, has reached us. It is Published by Mr Wm. Wales, late proprietor of the Clipper, (discortinued,) and Messrs. C. ©. Cox and R. M. Newport. Person at—The Nashville Banner has a story to the effect that Win. L. Yancey died of spine disease, brought on by injuries received mm a personal encounter with Ben. Hill, of Ga., in @ secret session of the rebel Senate. ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF PRINTING PAPER. As & consequence of the drouth and the “com- bination,” there is a short supply of paper, and prices are ruling very high—not quite as high 3s the highest reached during the war, but soon to reach that figure if the drouth continues. ‘This is about the time the publishers are look- infg about to give their orders for their holiday trade, and the brisk demand of course has the tendency tokeep the prices advancing. The ree: nt price of paper, or ordinery newspaper 19420 cents a pound, or 5a6 cents higher than three months ago. Rook paper sells at from 26025 cents; sized and calendered, 36a40 cents; fat papers. 35a40 cents: and folded, 40a45 cents. While such prices prevail, cheap book: and Hewrpapers are out of the question, and the Fospect now is, that these prices will continue uring the antumn, at least, and perhaps they will go still higher.—-Springfield (Mass.) Repub- ticen. Marriace ix Nortn Carormna.—The Raleigh Standard of the 29h ult. say: We have heard various complaints from different Portions of the State, im objection to a supposed Tegulation, to the effect that ladies were re- quired to take the oath before they were per- Mnitted tomarry.

These are intimations that several of the rival aspirants for the nom- ination will unite their strength against him if he proves to have many suppor in the Nominating Convention; perhaps, in that case, efforts would be made to bring him ovtas an independent candidate.—Boston Travelicr. MEETING ov THE EriscoraL GENERAL ConvENTION. — This important rehgious as- semblage will commence its sessions to-mor- row, in Philadeiphia.

ConvENTION OF SouTHERN STaTEs.—Some of our Southern contemporaries, growing im- patient under the persistent misrepreseniations of certain parties in the North, whose vocation is mischief, propose a convention of ‘he South- ern States for the purpose of taking action of so decisive & character as to leave 10 possi- blity of being misunderstood or distorted.— Richmond Whig.

THE WIRZ TRIAL. he ee PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. The trialof Captain Wirz was resumed to- day at 10 o'clock, with the usual number of ‘visitors in attendance. During the reading of the proceedings of yesterday, the prisoner was brought in, and laid down on the sofa. He is not so well as on yesterday, his physical pros- tration rendering bim unable to remain in an upright position. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the record— Antonio Maroni was sworn for the defence. Witness bad been in the 7th Connecticut regi- ment. Arrived a prisoner at Andersonville ist of May, and leit in September, 1561. Was present when Chickamagna was shot. Wit- ness corroborated the testimony of preceding witnesses for the defence on this subject. Ow- ing to his unintelligible English, his examin- ation was at this point suspended. Joseph Turiner, sworn.— Witness is a soldier in the Veteran Reserve Corps, Knows Capt. Wirz. Saw him at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 161. Wirz at thattime was a sergeant, and had charge of the prisoners, about 50) in num- ber. Witness remained there from 2ist of De- cember, 1£61, till Ist of Maréb, 1562. In reply to the inquiry of the Court, Mr. Schade (in the absence of the other counsel, Mr. Baker,) said he proposed to show the cor- rect dealing of Capt. Wirz at that time with pomeen in respect to money placed in his ands. The Judge Advocate (Col. Chipman) stated that any kind act of Capt. Wirz previous to his ill-treatment of prisoners could not be cited as evidence. Witness, resuming, testified to Capt. Wirz's good reputation for treatment of Union prison- ers at Tuscaloosa. Atter some delay in waiting for witnesses, Mr. Schade said the Court would remember that at the termination of the prosecution the counsel for the prisoner had referred to the necessity of their having time granted them to collect their witnesses. Thatnecessity still ex- isted in consequence of the Court having ruled out the testimony of some of the witnesses al- zendy present as irrelevant. He would ask for an adjournment till to-morrow week. The Court announced that the trial mast proceed. Mr. Schade said the counsel had not had time to examine their witnesses before bring- ing them into court. Mr. Baker was at that ime examining witnesses, preliminary to their ing in court, and it would be necessary it for them. . Judge Advocate said that every facility had been extended to the counsel. They had been afforded an abundance of time, and he saw no good reason why during this protract- ed trial they could not have had the witnesses for the defence all ready at the conclusion of the prosecution. The Court asked Mr. Schade if he desired that Mr. Baker should be sent for. Mr. Schade said he expected Mr. Baker to come as soon as he could. The Court stated that it could not wait Mr. Baker's leisure. Mr. Schade appeared to te indifferent in the matter. Did he intend to abandon the case? Mr. Schade said the counsel could not pro- ceed till their witnesses arrived, and must for the present suspend. The court-room was then cleared for deliber- ation, and upon the reopening of the doors, an- nounced that upon examination of the records the Court had found that there were seventeen witnesses for the defence in the city who bad not been examined. Unless the counsel pro- ceed at once, the Court must assign one of the Judge Advocates to conduct the defence. Au interpreter of Italian was then found in the court-room by the Judge Advocate, and the witness Maroni called for. After considerable further delay the Court asked Mr. Schade ifhe had any other witnesses to produce to-day. Mr.Schade replied that he had none present. The Court then called for a list of the wit- nesses tor the defense, and directed thst they be_sent for. ‘The messenger who had been dispatched for Mr. Baker returned, and reported that he was not in his office, and could not be found. The Judge Advocate (Col. Chipman) said this looked like willful contempt of the Court on the part of Mr. Baker, The Court coincided in that view, and took & recess till two o'clock, announcing that at that time the trial would proceed; and if the counsel were not present, one of the Judge nas ocates would be assigued to conduct the efense. FREEDMEN’S BUREAU. Captain Spurgin, Supermiendent of Frred- men, Refugees and Abandoned Lands for the district of Washington, reports to the Bureau an improvement inthe condition of the freed- men in the district within the past month, and that no fears need be entertained of suffering among them this winter. Within a month about 1,200 freedmen haye left the district to seek employment in the Northern States, and. the Bureau finds it impossible to fill all the requisitions from the North for laborers, ser- vants, &c. In consequence of the exhorbitant rents in this city the Bureau has, as a relief to the col- ored People, divided several of the buildings at Campbell Hospital into tenements, which are being rented out to the freedmen at $3 each per month. An employment agency has been established at Alexandria by the Burean. The first day the office was opened 100 applications were made by colored people for situations. Of the large number of freedmen at the Vil- lace at Arlington, only 117 receive gratuitous rations from the Government, the others drawing them reciving the same in part ps ment for service rendered. = pS ae THE WHITE HOUSE. This being Cabinet day there were but few visitors at the White House beyond those drawn there through curiosity to visit the East and other rooms, which are always open to inspec- tion. Major General Butler called in the morning and obtained an interview with the President, which lasted for some time. The Cabinet meeting was in session for about two hours, all of the members beiag present ex t Secretary Harlan, who was represented udge Otto, of ihe Interior Department. ‘The large number of pardon warrants, with the signature of the Presidert attached, which haveaccumulated in the office,awaiting record- al by the clerks, have nearly all been entered upon the books and sent tothe State Depart- ment, where they can be obtained by th - tiled to them, > on THE CHOLERA, The latest foreign mails received at the State Department, bring no intelligence of the fur- ther spread of the cholera.

New York, Oct. 3.—The steamer Star of the Union, with New Orleans dates to the 23d of September, has arrived here. The City of Mexico correspondent of the Times says that the arrest of Liberals and those suspected of Liberalism are so numerous that it will soon take one-half the nation to guard the prisoners. The most barbarous orders are issued by the French commanders. One is that every man wearing leather shall be hanged. The occupation of Tehuacan caused a great sensation, Owing to its importance. It was feared that all the Austrian detachments on the road would be captured. The Liberals held the road between Mon- terey and Matamoras. The French General Brincount, at Chihnabua, demands reinforee- ments as his column was not strong enough for Negreli’s forces. The French garrison is kept shut up in the — of Durango by the Liberal General Yatoni, ~ A French column of 1,200 men were unable to move out of their encampment, forty miles from Tampico, as the guerillas had captured all their mules and horses. The Liberals hold the main towns in the State of Mexico. No one dares to go a league outside of the city of Mexico. The Times’ correspondent says there is no submission in these people, and the coming winter will show us a struggle on a grander scale than we have yet witnessed. “LOCAL NEWS. CriminaL CouRT—ApsouRNED JUNE TERM —The Case of Lusby—The adjourned June term of this Court con vened in the Court-room, City Hall, this morning, Judge Wylie presid- ing. It was expected that the trial of Lusby, in- dicted for rape and murder, in causing the death of little Ogtayie Rosseau. on the night of the 25th of November last. would come up, and a number ot witnesses for the prosecution ‘were present, among them, George W. Alex- ander, John L. Rodgers, and Charles D. Wat- son, (the two latter lately pardened from the penitentiary) to whom, it is alleged, Lusby in Jail confessed the act. The District Attorney (Mr. Carrington) an- nounced that the prosecution was ready, but he had been informed that Mr. Wilson, the as- sistant District Attorney, had made some ar- rangement with Messrs. Bradley Fendall in regard to postponing the case: Mr. Bradley asked a postponement for a few days at least, as some of the witnesses for the defence were in Maryland; besides he was en- gaged in the Circuit Court. The defence nad been ready on two or three occasions, but the case Was postponed or continued at the instance of the prosecution. ‘The District Attorney said he would leave the matter entirely to the Court. Mr. Bradley stated that the prisoner was suf- fering great hardship, having been in jail about seven months, with a large family dependeat upon his Inbors, but notwithstanding this he was willing that the case should be con- tinued. The Court directed that the case be set for trial on Tuesday next, loth. The case of Peter Hypolite, the sotdier who stabbed a comrade, killing him, about a year since, in & restaurant near the Capitol, was set for Tuesday week, 17th. ‘The grand and petit jurors were called but no business being ready the latter were dis- charged until to-morrow, but the grand jury immediately entered on their duties. The business of this term will be very heavy, their being ey tg of two hundred cases in jail, over half of which consist of highway rob- bery, burglary, and garroting. During the recess of the Court two additional windows haye been made to the room, and the other four remodeled. This improvement gives additional light to the room, which was much needed. The windows are fyrnished with blue shades and the semi-circular tops are neatly covered with red making a yery bandsome appearance.
