The party will sail from Annapolis on the steamer Tallapoosa. ADMIRAL Horr.—Dispatches have reached Rear Admiral Hoff, commanding the squadron in Cuban waters, ordering him to leave tue squadron in charge of the senior officer next m command at once, and report, with his flag- ship, the Albany, at Portsmouth, N.H. He will be home in a few days. Prorosep New DEPaRTMEMT BUILDING.— It is tho: it that Congress will, at the next session, authorize the demolition of the War and Navy Department buildings, and the erec- tiom, on the site occupied by them, of a build- img similar to the Treasury Department, to be occupied by the War and Navy offices, FSARS are entertained at the Navy Depart- ment that the Seminole bas met with some mis- hap. She was despatched trom Norfolk some Weeks since to capture the pirate Pelegraph, Which has been preying upon American ves- eels. The Seminole was last heard of at St. Thomas, abou THe cOCNTERPE:TING of the revenue stamps 1s carried on to Sach an extent that Departmen: is thinking of recatling the whole of the pres- ent issue, changing the designs, and having the work, now done by contract in various paris of the country, carried on solely under the supervision of the Government. APTER THEN.—Hon. ©. M. Hamilton. mem- ber of Congress from Florida, is here for the Purpose of urging the Secretary of the Navy to remove all employees in the Pensacola Navy Yard who do not support the Administration. There are several hundred persons employed in and abont the yard. Hon. Jonn H1tz, Swiss Cousul General, hes just returned here from a visit tothe Swiss Colonies in the north west and reports they are in & prosperous condition. Mr Hitz thin that the ensuing season will witness an in- creased emigration of bis countrymen. Many of them will go to the West, but he thinks the greater portion will try their fortunes in the mountain lands of Virginia, East Tennessee and North Carolina. SeARCITY OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.—Only ‘$15,000 im ten cent notes remain in the vaults of the Treasury Department, all of the trac- tional currency of other denominations having been issued. There is a great demand trom all parts of the country for change, and much complaint is made of the Bank note companies for their failure to furnish a sufficient sapply for circulation. Tur New STATE DEPARTMENT BUILDING,— The commission to select a site for the new State Department building—composed of Sec- retaries Fish, Rawlins, Boutwell, and Cox, General Michler, Mr. Clarke, architect of the Capitol, and Mr. Mullett, architect of the ‘Treasury—have had the subject under consid- eration, but as yet have not arrived any definite conclusion. It is thought they will recommend that the new building be erected on the public reservation at the corner of 15th and I streets. No TsMporary CiEeKks.—Commissioner Delano recently applied for more clerical as- sistance for Ris office, adding that he must have it, and that the only way to obtain it was to appointtemporary clerks and present a de- ficiency bill at the next session of Congress for their payment. Acting Secretary Richardson, im reply, refuses to make appoimtments con- tingent upon the passage of a deficiency bill. as Policy ot the Department is to avoid in- curring expenses beyond those authorized by law. The necessary assistance will be furn. ished by detailing clerks from other bureaus. Txm House Committee of Ways and Means, just returned from California, will reassemble m Boston on the 20th of October next. Before separating at Omaba sub-committees were ap- pointed om various branches of the tariff and bonded warehouse bills, to report in Boston at the October meeting of the committee. The committee will perfect a bill for the revision of the tariff, and one on the warehouse bill, i time to report at the commencement of the Decem- ‘hey speak highly of the efficiency of the revenue service on the Pacific coast un- der the present administration. ‘Tu PRESIDENT will reach here in the early train to-morrow morning, accompanied by Secretary Fish, to attend the Oabinet meet- ing to-morrow. Oa Friday he held a con- ference with District Attorney Pierrepont and Secretary of State Fish, at the resi- dence of the latter gentleman, in Ni York. The conference was upon the sub- ject of the recent seizure of Spanish gun- neats at New York At the adjournment of the conference Judge Pierrepont informed the representatives of the press present that it had been agreed to allow matters to remain as they are for the present, and that the President would hold « Cabinet meeting at Washington on Tuesdsy. when the subject will be dis- cussed with a view of asceriaining what farther action. if any, may be dremed advi-able. The President received @ brilliant reception at Newburgh on Saturday. He left West Point at 10 o'clock &. m., accompanied by Hon. Ham ilton Fish, Secretary ef State. General Porter and the West Point Band, Judge Taylor/Gen- eral Pitcher and others. At o'clock p. m. the President Jeft for Cold Springs on the steamer, having sn engagement to cine with Governor Kembie, of that place, at 5 o’ctoeks Dari his stay at Newburgh the enthusiasm was at highest point. All the public and private buildings were profusely decorated, salutes were fred, and everywhere the Presidest was received wi'b shouts and cheers of joy. The great solar eclipse on Siturday evening Sttracted general attention in this section, and observers were out in every direction. Com- modore B. F. Sands, Superintendent of the Naval Observatory in this city, this morning made the following report of the total eclipse As observed at Des Moines, lowa, and the partial eclipse as observed bere, to Secretary Robeson : U, S, Naval OpssevaTory, WasBINGTOR, 9th August, 1869—sir: I have the honor to Teport that I have received & telegraphic dis- pated trom our observers of the eclipse at Des Momes, lowa. Professor Harkness reports as folk “We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expectations. We have 123 photo- graphs of the eclipse, two being of totality. Also, spectra of five prominencies, no two of them giving the same liaes; could see no ab- sorption lines mm spe:tram of corona. it gave & continuous spectrum, with one bright line on it.” Professor Eastman’s observations were also most successful. Professor Newcomb reports, “No intra-mercurial planets were visible.” Mr. F. W. Bardwell, aid, jeft here on Friday moraing 4nd arrived in Bristol, Tennessee, in ample time for the echpse. His special objects of attention were duration of totality and jutra-mercurial planets. The circumstan- ces attending his observations were ex. tremely favorable. Mercury, V and Regulus were visible to the naked eye, but no jntra-mercural planet was seen. He recorded numerous notes of the phenomena, from which A fall report will be made. At this Observatory the sun was partially obscured by clouds and owing to the use of @ bigher power than the observer was ac- customed to, he failed to get the first and last contact. His other observations were entirely successful. I will have the honor to submita more detailed report upon the retura of the officers sent ont from the Observatory. Very respectfally, Late Reser nt servant, . F. SANDS, Commodore, Superintendent. A Washington Ys consisting of Wm. S. Huntington, Col. rauder, Hallet Kilbourn and Porter Morse, accompanied by Hora. D. R. Goodloe, of N.C., arrived at Raleigh, N ©., Saturday afternoon, to the eclipse. They were received by Gov. Holden, members of the pay nay ‘and others. and proceeded at once to the State Insane Asylum, near that city, to take observations from the cupola, which commanded am extended and unob- strneted view. Prof. J. K. Burr, of Newark, N. J, and J. M. Buckley, of the New York Evening Post, and other scientific gentlemen were present. The sky was clear and bright, and all the surroundings were propitious. The scene atthe time of totality was m: the shadow gradually covering the disc o! sup until complete, Ats444 the sun was half obscured, and at 6.02) the colipre was total, and remained so for 115 seconds. A thermom- eter which was piaced in th in stood at 93 degrees at 5.5; at 544% it fell to 73 de- grees, and at the time of the total eclipse it fell to 68 degrees, the sur growing rap- idly colder, while ihe whole atmosphere assumed a hazy and leaden ap; nce. Immediately encceeding the total obscuration the corona became visible and brilliant. Cor- ruscations seemed to flash and radiate from the circumference of the moon. Undulatiors of soft white light burst out brilliantly and repeatedly until the close, when Venus, Mer- curyand Mars shone out in tfleent splen- dor. A peculiar gloom apread like a pall over the Jandscape, while changing tints of black, orange, igo, and leaden bues covered the beayens near the horizon, north and sonth. The spectacle was magnificent and sublime, and the crowd about the cupola spontaneousi: burst out with “Praise God from whom blessings flow.” During the totality two blades of crimson light seemed to cut the moon’s circumference, and curved lines were visible across the disc of the moon, Tesembling the groined projections at the top of some Gothiccatnedral. No point could have offered better facilities for taking an observation than this, and the circumstances were all that could be wished. Every facility was extended by Dr. Grissom, of the asylum, aud to whom the Washington party are much indebted. ‘The total eclipse at Springfield, Illiniois, was & startling and sublime phenomenon. T was perfectly clear. Professor Pearce, of Harvard, had charge of the observations,which ‘Were made near the city reservoir. A hundred erg hs of the eclipse were taken by Mr. lack, of Boston. When the total obscuration took place, the heavens and earth presented a scene of awful sublimity. A brilliant amber- colored corona apy around the sun and moon, shooting rays of light outwards in ali directions, when the whole horizon was ilin- minated with light of the same color. The | ey Mercury and Venus and a number of xed stars were distinctly visible, but no plan. etoids between Mercury and the sun were dis- covered. Brilliant rays of colored flame or protuberances were noticed on the western limb of the eun during the period of te:al ob- scuration. The phenomenon known as "s Beads” was also disuunctly witness. The phenomenon, Prot. Pearce thinks, is occasioned by refraction of light. He is also satisfied that the corona at the time o/ total ob- Scuration was occasioned by the sun's atmos- phere. Mr. Francis H. Smita, Congressional pho- Rographer, will leave here this afternoon to rejoin bis family in Connecticut, he not hay- ing seen them since his return from the Pacific coast, where he accompanied the Ways and Means Committee. INDIAN A¥ratns.—It is the intention of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to have thor ough investigations made into all recently re- ported outrages upon travelers, miners, and others by Indians in New Mexico. The De. partment is satisfied that whatever depreda. tions have been committed were done by straggling bands, which the tribes will assist the Government in ferreting out. AN IMPORTANT CASE, myolving the posses. sion of the most valuable railroad franchise in ‘Texas, will be heard in this city before Judge Swayne, of the Supreme Court, in chambers curmg the present week. The ante-bellum bondholders brought suit against the present organization of the Galveston and Houston rilroad in the United States District Court for the eastern district of Texas, Judge Watrous presiding, and obtained an order pending the decision to have a reeeiver appointed, and on this order the present contract is based, ARMY OF THE TamT! —General Jona A.

This will be first meeting of a synod of the English Church in the British isles in which lay representation has ever obtained recognition. So long as the (hurch ‘was an establishment connected with the gov- ernment, Parliament and the Queen retained in their own hands the entire power to regaiate its affairs. The bishops were members of the House of Peers for that reason; but with the disestablishment of the Church in Ireland and the cessation of the right of Irish bishops to seats in the House, the Church in Ireland Tesumes its right to self-government, and there- fore its synods will be importan: bodies, The form of government for the Church in Ireland bas yet to be provided, and this is the principal object tor which these meetngs are to be held.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED MURDERER.—A negro man sporting the soubriquet of “John Walkabout” was recently arrested on Chinco- teague Island, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Tatem, of Accomac county, Va. some three or four years ago. Our readers of Accomac and also of this vicinity will probably call afresh to their minds the horrid transaction when we state that Tatem’s wite was tried and convicted of his murder, but the testimony which convicted her being mainly circumstantial, she was subsequently pardoned by the then Military Governor of the ‘State, and ‘soon after remarried.
