Commissioner Newton has issued his report for the month just closed. It relates chiefly to farm stock. In the su: he states that the Average amounts consu: in Great Britain and Ireland is about 56,000,000 of bushels more than produced. The deficit of this year will then make itabout one-third greater, or 72,000,000 busbels. It may, however, be much greater. The immense corn =e of this country, now safely grown, will enable us to ship largely of wheat to foreign countries, although the wheat <rop has been injured fully as much as re- —— in the last monthly, and the quahty of he new crop is not good in many States. The Amount of old wheat is not as great as antici- pated. The buckwheat and potato crops may be very large, but the danger of the rot is too imminent to base any calculations upon the latter crop. ORDERED TO NEW ORLEANS. Major Wiley, C. S., left town on Wednesday for New Orleans with orders to report to Gen- eral Sheridan. RESIGNED. Col. Johnson, U.S. A., one of the five Medi- cal Inspectors, appointed by act of Congress in 1862, has resigned, GENERAL IMBODEN. The rebel General Imboden, of cavalry noto- riety in the Shenandoah valley, arrived in town yesterday as an applicant for pardon. Tse New Orteaxs ConveNTion.—In the dispatch published m the papers yesterday, Telative to the proceedings of the Democratic Convention at New Orleans, it was stated that the Convention “had resolved emphatically to oppose President Johnson's reorganization pol- icy.” The word oppose should have been ap- prove. The mistake was made in telegraphing. The following dispatch was received by the President last evening : “NEw ORLEans, Oct. 4, 1965.—To President Andrew Johnson :-—Governor Wells nominated by acclamation by Democragjc Convention. President's policy endorsed. “C.

Capt. Johnson, who commanded the expedi- tion, reports that on his approach the guerrillas disbanded and scattered in all directions. Capt: Jobnson was bushwhacked, and his pickfts fired on and driven in at night. The country is full of robbers and guerrillas, and the people are in terror. The guerrilla Williams has for- bidden the collection of any more United States taxes, and Mr.Geardon says he cannot go back and collect the revenne without troops to pro- tect him. General Brisbin has ordered the United States forces to at once occupy and garrison Bath, Floyd, Morgan, and Wolfe counties. ——— Purchase oF A BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE.— The splendid estate of Mr. George H. Stuart, known as Springbrook, in Philadelphia, was sold at auction on Wednesday. The elegant mansion, the conservatories, the Victoria Re- gia house, and all the magnificent improve- ments, with the centre lot, comprising seventy- six acres of ground, in lawn, shrubbery foun- tain and forest, were knocked down for $76,000. The buyer was the tragedian, Edwin Forrest. After the sale was finished a gentleman ex- pressed a willingness to give an advance of $20,000 upon the sum for which it was sold. pee eee aerial @7 The statement in regard to Gen’l Grant, to the effect that he declared that “the Govern- ment will vindicate the Monroe doctrine at an early day, and that Maximilian must leave Mexico !* was made on the authority of Wm.

He is a tried and faithful officer, and has dis- charged his duties to the entire satisfaction of his department commander. SENTENCE OF LIEUT, COL, THOMAS, Lieutenant Colonel A. L. Thomas, Assistant Quartermaster U.S. Volunteers, who was tried in this city by court martial for violating the 39th article of war in misappropriating a sum MR. SCHADE CLAIMS THE NEWS TO BE A LOYAL PAPER. entices After our report in the first edition closed, the cross-examination of Harris was continued as follows: Witness never heard of prisoners being shot at the dead-line after the 10th of September. When Wirz ordered the sutler’s shanty to be cleared out, he reserved four or five bushels of potatoes. An ordinary price for water was a chew of tobacco fora drink. The chew of to- bacco was very small. Witness never bought or sold in the stockade. The rations were cooked and there was enongh wood. The bread was baked and the beans cooked. Witness did not know much outside his own squad. The two main avenues were lined with trading shanties. The area of the shanties was about five or six feet square. Every time the rations ‘were delayed it was said it was because of the arrival of prisoners. Witness heard some pris- oners say that they would rather stay where they were than to go to other stockades. Some- times there were as many as six of witness’ pe yore taken out sick, about twenty dying, half of them in the stockade. Never saw a physi- cian inside the stockade. As witness’ squad would decrease other live men would be put in. Witness was in the stockade from Nov. Ist to Nov. 2ist. Never applied to be detailed, Witness, as a sergeant of ninety, received an extra ration, which he pad for shelter. The J ADAME LOUIE, FASHIONABLE CLOAK | prisoners had enough to sustain life if of Government money, by losing the same at a and DRESS-MAKER, has removed to 450 | they could eat. Witness saw men die of hunger j ‘an MY rT 12th street, between @ and H, 86 18-Im* because they could not eat the rations. Some- ming table, and upon other charges, was found guilty and sentenced to be cashiered, but in consideration of his previous good character the sentence has been remitted by the Secretary of War so as to allow bim to resign. times raw rations were issued to the sick. Some had sore mouths and would not eat the corn bread. Death would ensue from their abstinence, but not from lack of food. Salt was a luxury because it was scarce. It was impos- sible to get it except by purchase, and about one-third of the prisoners used to buy. They would purchase usually about a spoonful each. Witness never was in battle: was taken b: Early’s advance guard; had been intoxicated, was lying down asleep at the time, but not beside a jug of whisky. Could not tell how drunk he was at the time. There were three or four rebels who captured witness; neyer made any attempt to get away. Witness suffered from heavy marches and exposure. Suffered at Andersonville from heat, diarrhara, and confinement. Witness has done nothing since he left the army; wrote two or three letters to the New York News, because he wanted to see justice done, and because the editors were his friends. Witness neyer read the paper until he was out of thearmy. Mr. Pilat asked witness if he could give the public a plain statement of the facts about Andersonville. Col. Chipman asked if he did not know the character of the paper; that it was a disloyal paper, in sympathy with the rebellion. Mr. Baker objected that the character of the paper was irrelevant. Mr. Schade saw no reason why this paper should be styled a disloyal sheet; he saw the pores last night, and saw that it supported ihe President. Col. Chipman said that he was well aware why Mr. Schade did not see the reason for bringing this paperin. If a witness after four years in the army, in which he had not been in a battle, comes home and writes letters toa notorious sheet, it shows pretty conclusively that such witness is in sympathy with the en- emies of the Government.

A SINGULAR CasE OF ABSCONDING.—Con- siderable excitement prevailed yesterday in the vicinity of the Navy Yard in consequence of reports as to the disappearance of Mr. Themas Dennis, the armless man, who, for about eight years past, has been employed as a watchman ng | at the copper rolling-millin the Nayy-Yard. Dennis has been speculating quite heavily for a person of his standing in gold for the past two or three years, and as has since his disap- pearance been made apparent, on the capital of other people. He has always been looked upon as a trustworthy man, and it seems that he borrowed quite heavily, the amounts al- ready accounted for reaching $10,000. Mr. W. H. Barbour is out $4,500; S.

There is a report in cireulation that he had left with the funds of Eagle Tent of Recha- bites, of which he was treasurer, but such is not the case, he haying just before he left on Wednesday evening turned over ail the funds of the Tent to one of its officers. Besides the losses named above, there are a number of others, some in the rolling mill who lose small amounts, and there may be others who we have not yet heard of, losing larger amounts. Some parties estimate the aggregate — at from ten to twenty thousand dollars Dennis left rather suddenly on Wednesday evening, the last seen of him at the Navy Yard beingabout 7 o'clock, when he took a for the depot, where he met and told an ac- quaintance that he would take the ey train for New York, and it is surmised that he took the steamer from there yesterday for Eng- LAprIEs’ DRESS AND CLOAK TRIMMINGS ot received, avery large and beautiful assort- DRESS AND CLOAK TRIMMINGS. comprising all the latest novelties of the season, at 2 Trimming Store, 299’ Pa. avenu: between 9th and 10th sta.ssouth side.

I name in part THE BRISCOE TRIAL. After our report closed yesterday— John Odell, one ot Gen. Baker's detectives, testified. His evidence, however, was only corroborative of that given by Capt. Alberger and Mr. Wortley. To-day, Col. Ashmussen, of the Provost Mar- shal General's Department, testified. Witness received on the 27th of September an order from the Assistant Secretary of War to send a detective to Lynchburg. On the 28th was or- dered to go down himself and report to Gen. Curtis for orders. Arrived at Lynchburg on the 29th and met there one of the detectives, John Odell. Called on Capt. Alberger and was told that Gen. Curtis had been informed of the plot the night before.

Cossham, one of the English rail w: now visiting this country, has invited the President to witness an experiment with Jale’s non-explosive gunpowder at the Arsenal this evening. The power of rendering gunpowder exp o. sive or ypayep oreo bong will has em su to be impossible, but a process of ob. tichog thin desirable result bas at last bees discovered—so simple and effectual that the wonder is no one ever thought of it before Tr. Cossham has experimented with this powder before scientific men in New York, where the exemplification excited much inter. estand astonishment. He first takes a quan‘). ty of gunpowder, and after showing that it is of the ordin: kind, mixes it with « white powder in ti of two by weight of the former to one of the latter H red hot poker is then thrust among the mass, which takes fire and burns slowly, without the faintest symptom of exploding. Matches, fy. ses, hghted paper, &c.,is applied to the pre. ared paper, but it cannot be made to explode r. Cossham then takes what remains un- burned, and, sifting it, in a few seconds re. stores the gunpowder to its original state, fact fully demonstrated by its exploding in- stantly on a match being applied toit. Mr. Cossham shows that the proper proportions for rendering cee actor more explosive ary about three parts by weight of the protective powder to one of gunpowder. If mixed in equal proportions, there will be rapid combus. tion, but no explosion. If four parts of pro- tective powder are mixed with one of gunpow- der, it is about impossible to make the mixture burn at all. Mr. Cossham states that the white or protective powder is merely ground glass. Other substan- ces,such as fine sand,ground flints,Ac.,had been tried, but none answered so well as glass. The cost of the ground giass in England is about 25 shillings sterling per ton. The effect of the mixture is purely mechanical, not chemical, the glass insinuating itselt between the grains of gunpowder, and thus preventing more than one grain being consum: ata time. This curious discovery is mainly valuable in rendering gunpowder cheaper as it makes its storage in any quantity safe. ene, “anaes CRIMINAL CouRT, Judge Wylie.—Yesterday after onr report closed, Henry Coleman and John Jackson, indicted for larceny from Joho Fabrankoph, were found gay: and sentenced to three years each in the Albany peniten. In the cases of Sandy Robinson, indicted tor larceny, and Richard Jourdan, for assault and battery with intent to kill, anole pros. was en. tered.
