Muss Wade is about thirty years of age, of medium size, good figure, dark hair, brown eyes, and basa pleasing face, indicating goodness and intelligence. All who know her speak of her amiability and quiet good sense as at jualifying her admirably to preside house of the Vice President elect. ‘Three years ago she spent the win'er in Wash- ington with her aunt, Mrs, Senator Wade, at the bouse of Mr. Barrett, om 4% street, where fax also stopped; and the friendship formed at that time probably laid the tounda- ‘sent more intimate relations.

Tne other ladies of the party were Mrs. Matth- ws, mother of Mr. Colfax; Miss Carrie Matth- ews, bis sister; Miss Sue Matthews, his cousin, and Miss Sallie Bowles, daughter of Sam. Bowles, of the Springfleld Republican. These ladies are said to have displayed an amount of courage and self-possession on tae occasion of the Indian attack teat won for them an enthu- stastic vote of admiration from their compan- ions. and from the rough mountaineer: ‘The wedding on Wednesday will be a very quiet affair, only the most intimate friends of the bride and the immediate family of Mr. Colfax bemg present. The marriage ceremony Will be performed by the pastor of the Presby- terran church attended at Andover by Miss Wade. Mr. Colfax, we believe, attends Dr- Butler's chureh (Lutheran) when in Wash- ington.

An- INDIAN APFAIRS.—Col. Tappan, one of the Indian Peace Commission, has arriyed here | from the West, and reports that 70,000 friend! y Indians are moving on to the reservations pro- vided by treaty. The Arrapahoes, Cneyenues Kiowa, and Comanches, numbering about five thousand, are on the war path, and the army is in motion against them. Col. Tappan thinks that speculating traders amd other whites are, to a great degree. responsible tor the offensive aticude assumed by the latter tribes. ANNUAL Revort OF THE ADJUTANT GeN- BRAL.—The Adjutant General of the Army bas made bis annual report to the Secretary of ‘The actual strength of the regiments in the service on the 30ch of September was 43,711 men, and besides these there were 4,34) men in the engineer, ordnance, and other specisl branches of the service. Au unusually large | umber of discharges have been granted during the year on individual applicstions, and these, | with ordinary discharges and casualties, are rapidly diminishmg the regiments, except of cavalry, which are necessarily kept in force, because of the Indian depredations. it is re- | ported that 4,50 men are to be discharged before New Year's, by reason of the expiration of their term of enlistment. The number of desertions last year was 2,700 less than in the previous year, and the number of deserters arrested Was nearly a thousand greater, and the proportion of losses by desertion to the | strength of the armv 1s considerably less than jast year. Recruiting was carried on for branches of the service unul November is67, When orders were issued to reduce all regiments of infantry and artillery, except the teu light batteries, to the number of fifty pri- vates per company. and to reduce the recruit- img service by breaking up all rendezvous, except four tor cavalry and four for infantry. Recruiting for infantry and artillery was sus- pended April 3, 1863, except im cases of old sol- diers desiring to enlist: and on the 2ith of July, i=, instructions Were issued prohibiting all epi or re-enlistments, except as musi- cians, of any men in either of these two braach- es. It is added, that to still further reduce the expenses and strength of the military establish. ment, the detachments at the recruiting depots have been reduced as much as possible, and the schools of imstruction have been suspended. No recruiting of any Kind but for cavalry has been going on since the end of last July, and there are only five stations for recruiting in this arm of the service. The regiments on the Pacific coast bave, as far as possible, to avoid expense of transportation, been supplied with reeruits obtained in California. The strength of all the colored regiments in the service nearly up to the required standard. The Ad- yutant General renews the recommendation which he made last year—namely. that men be enlisted tor five instead of three years. He further recommends that authorize the enlistment of boys over twelve years, as musicians, with the consent of their pa- rents. They must now be sixteen, and are too old to begin training, especially as drummers. | To meeta contingency which he regrets nas of late several times arisen, he recommends that the President be empowered to drop trom the rolis of the army any officer who deserts {and cannot be arrecied for court martial with- | ip three months of the time of desertion. It is | also recommended that the su, perintendents of the national cemeteries be placed on the footing of enlisted men. Nearly ali the legal clans for collecting, drilling, nd organizing volun- teers bave been paid, oF are on Ble undergoing examination verification, with a view to ayment. The Adjutant General sp @ks of raudalent claims ihatare from time to time presented, and recommends that laws be en- acted limiting the time within whieb claims fer expenses incurred to master into ser- vice may be present After wits much feeling and ji on 8 of army discipline and punishment, the Adjutant General declares again, as he did last year, tor mili prisons.

Dyer, chief of Ordnance, reassemoled this morning at their rooms, $67 14th street, at 11 o'clock. Present: Major Generals George H. Thomas, (Premdent,) W.S. Hancock,and A H. Terry, and Judge Advocate General Holt, for the Goverument; the counsel for General Dyer, Messrs. David Dudley Field, Lieut. Col. S. V. Benet, and W. A. De Caindry; aud the counsel for the accusers, Messrs. Arrick and Kennon The record of last meeting having been read, Mr. Field hoped the word accused used or. th> record when referring to General Dyer would be dropped, and the word defendaut used in- stead; so ordered, no objection being made. General Hancock thought it would be well to dispose of the application of counsel for de- fence a few days since that the decision of the Court when made should ne publicly an- nounced &s unanimous or not as the case might be. ‘Mr. Field said that General Dyer was very anxious to have the decision so announced, he desired the public to know how nis br: officers would dispose of his case. Judge Advocate Gereral Holt thonght the precedents were against such proceedings, and he did not know if the opmion cord beso an- ‘id said counsel for defence would not press the matter. The Court could actas they should think proper. Mr. Arrick thought the Court was reviewing an inquiry already made by a Congressioual committee, and the report of this committee must be taken by tbis Court; because, if the Court should decide adversely to the report of the committee, they would put themselves in a position antagonistic to the Congressional commitiee. He was not here to defend the re- port of the committee, and dia not know which side should open the case. Mr. Field said the report of the Congressional committee was not testimony. H» bad nothing to say against that report at present, but would give it bis attention at the proper time. That Teport was ez parte of course, the doors of the committee room closed, every one turned ont except those whom the accusers wanted; and was it possible that three gallant officers were to be asked to render a verdict on this ex parte report! r. Arrick said the doors ot the Committee Toom were closed against both sides, and ar- gued that the report of the Committee mast be taken by the Court. Judge Advocate General Holt said every per- son charged must be held to be innocent until his guilt be proven. General Thomas, President of the Court, an- nounced that the Court would require the ac- cusers, or their counsel, to bring testimony to prove their accusations, as it was the custom n all Courts Martial, or Courts of Inquiry, to compel accusors to bring testimony to sustain their charges Mr. Arrick then read from the report of th» Congressional Committee. and offered in evi- dence a report of the Ordnance Committe: made in 1861, Mr. Field examined the same and objected to 11s admission, as the report was not attested, and bad nothing to show where it came from. He further objected to it as General Dyer was not at the head of the Ordnance Bureau at that time. ‘Mr. Arrick argued that the report was taken before the Congressional Committee and con- sidered as evidence. Mr. Fivid said he would show before he got through that not one-tenth of the stuff taken taken before the Congressional committee was evidence He neyer heard of such a thing as receiving a paper in evidence without the same being authenticated é General Thomas said the Court would require that all documeniary evidence be property authenticated or sworn to by some competent witness. Mr. Arnek sid he would prove it by the clerk who made it. Gen. Hanceck thought the proper way to roceed wa> to have the paper authenticated y the records of the War Department, and not by a clerk, who was in no way respousi- bie. ‘Mr. Arrick insisted upon proving th» paper by the clerk who prepared the same. ‘The court was cleared for deliberation, and upon re-opening, the President amnouacad that the document would be rejected for the preven as it was not properly authenticated by the of- ficial custodian, and all documents hereafwr Presented as eviderce must be so authenti- cated. Mr. Arrick said the report of the committee stated that some of the records trom the Ord- nance Department came to them mutilated, and Were sent by the accused. He attempted to Tead from the report, but was interrupted by the Court, who notified him the paper must be Properiy authenticated before it could be re- evived by jthe court. +He next proposed to identify tbe projectile adopted by the Ordaance Board in 1-01. General Ruiman sworn and examined by Mr. Arrick:— Witness was a member of the Ord- nance Board in April, 16); that Board con- sidered the subject of rifle projectile; could identify the projectile acted upon by that board. Witness was here shown a shell, hut Would not swear to it as the one adopted. Wit- ness was here shown another projectile, but testified it was not adopted by the Urduance Boardin 1-61. By Mr. Field:—The projectile was not urged upon the board by Gen. Dyer; no projectile had been adopted prior to 1361, Mr. Arrick next propose: to offer i a reportof an Orduance Board of is Gen. Dyer was a member Mr. Field did not object. but would hold the counsel to the ruling of the Court. The object of such proof must be stated, and the portions ef such Teport read as 1t was proposed to put in evidence. Mr. Arrick argued that it would be neces- sary for bem to read the whole paper. . Field argued that not one-tenth part of the report proved to be putin evidence had any bearing upon this case. A man could not offer a large book inevidence. He must state the points bearing on the case. Mr. Arnck desired only to read from the report all matter bearmg on rifled projectiles, which was permitted: and he then read such Portions of the report as referred to that sub- ject, including the order under which the board to examine rifled projectiles convened, also a letter from the accused on the same subject, some statements in which he thought he could prove incorrect. He also read a letter from Capt. Parrott in regard to the same subject. Mr. A. read the letter as the views of Capt. P., without claiming them to be infallible, but asked for them the consideration of the Court. Mr. Field read from the same report the en- dorsement of the Secretary of War on the letter of Gen. Dyer above referred to. ‘The Court then received in evidence the por- tions of the report read. evidence of which ALL OTHER business in the Departments is suborninate to the preparation by the different Secretaries of their annual reports. The most of them are well along, having been made up with the aid of briefs submitted by heads of bureaus. The Cabinet officers in turn are now preparing abstracts of their reports for the use of the President, who is beginning his annual message. Mostof the bureau reports are al- ready in the hands of the public printer. InxvorMaTion has been received at the Treas- ury Department that James F. Watson, late claim agent at Lafayette, Indiana, has been semtenced to State prison for four years for for- gery of soldiers’ bounty claims and bounty checks.

Tur ReroatEp EARTHQUAKE IN IRELAND.— ‘The Cork Reporter does not believe the story that shocks of an earthquake were experienced near Mallow, in Cork county, Ire.and, on the ith of October. The country'm that vicinity, says, abounds in heavy marshes, and the shaking of the soil is believed to have been due to ordinary causes, The London Daily News, however, puts full trust ip the accounts, and says that they show that the earthquake wanted but a small increase of violence to have been a destructive one. It thinks that the direction ot the shock, from north to south, indicates that the volcanic disturbance which caused it must have been in Iceland, rather than in Southern ‘urope. In Iceland, it is well known, are vol- canoes of the most terrific character. "Though Heeln is usually spgken of as the most im- portant volcano in that country, yet there are in reality others, compared with whica that yoleano is entirely a secondary affair, and whose yolcanic streams, when compared with those ot Vesuvins, areas mighty rivers eom pared with mere brooklets, One stream of Java from one of those Icelandic volcanoes, measured 50 miles long, 15 miles wide and 200 yards deep. A DisTINGUISHED FEMALE IN CosTopy.— Late last evening Mr. A B. Newcomb, a gen- Veman well known in this city, caused the ar- rest of a distinguished female, none other than the famous «Major” Pauline Cushman, alias Miss Harriet Ward, who, during the late rebel- hon, rendered such invaluable services to the Vnion armies. The cause of her appreaension Was, that while Mr. Newcomb was on & visit to the rooms of the “Major” at the St. Charles Hotel, where they indulged inan extended con- versation, she abstracted from his pockets ni- tional bank bills to the value of forty-nine dol. lars. Being accused by him of the alleged thert she admitted it, but would not return the pro- per'y, aud thus the complainant, despairing of ever obtaining it sgain, caused her arrest and Temoval to the Fifteenth precinct station house. <Mavor” slept in a cell last night, and this morning will be arraigned before Justice Dodge at the Jefferson Market Police Court to answer the charge of larceny from the person.

Judge Stuart presiding, granted a nonsuit in the case of Emma Schneider vs. The Provident Life Insurance Company of Chicago,who sued to recover the amount of an accident policy on the lite of her husband: the court holding that, As the deceased lost his life while attempting to geton the cars after they were in motion, the deiendants were not liable to pay the amount of the policy. THE “ITaciaw Nestix.”—The “Italian Ni tle, which takes the place of the “Grecin Bend,” is thus described by a cotemporary: I: usually attacks young people, and always in couples. The symptoms are—a drooping of the head of the young lady till it rests on the shoui- der of the gentleman. and his moustache sweeps her forehead, and his arm encircles her waist. It usually comes on in the cars, on the steamboats, and im other public places, and is said by those who have tried it to be very nice. 87 A singular case has just come before the French tribunals, A young girleleven years of age attempted successively the life of ner mother and sister, for the sole purpose of drinking their blood.

Saturday wasa day of great excitement on the New York Stock Exchange, and the cur. rent of speculation changed entirely in favor of the bulls, Erie having advanced from 36 at the opening to 52% late in the afternoon. The cause of this sudden turn was a mystery. Money was im abundant supply at six and seven per cent., and this monetary ease stimu- lated the upward movement of prices.
