Commonon® ALpew, Chief of the Burean of Detail at the Navy Department, is acting Secre tary of the Navy during the absence of Secre- tary Robeson, who is at his hom¢@in Camden. INDEMNITY ScHooL SELECTIONS —The Com- Missioner of the General Land Office has sub- mitted to the Secretary of the Interior, for bis approval, two lists of school selections in the San Francisce and Maysville districts, State of California, containing an aggregate area of 29,409.89 acres. ‘THE CommrssionER oy PENSIONS has desig- nated Mr. J.

It says: “It appears that more than Bailey were mixed up in the defalcation, and, if the matter was thoroughly sifted, some important individ- uals would be unpleasantly involved in the dif- ficulty. Hence the entire matter is allowed to drop.” Doubtful. Bws vor IxpraN Suprites.—The Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs yesterday opened bids for farnishing supplies for issue to Indians at Yanktown, Whetstone, Crow Creek, Cheyenne and Grand River Agencies in*Dakotah Terri- tory, the supplies bid for amounting to tive mil. lion one hundred and forty thousand pounds of beef, and three hundred gnd ninety thousand pounds of bacon. There were seventeen bid- ders ix: all, ef whom Joseph F. Gibbs, at 3x cents for beef, and .J. W. Bosler, at 18 cents for bacon, were the lowest. CHANGES OF STATIONS OF NAVAL OFPIcERs. Several changes are contemplated in the stations of naval officers, the most important of which is the transfer of Rear Admiral Melancton Smith from the command of the Washington Navy Yard to the command of the New York yard, in place of Rear Admiral Godon, and the assign- ment of Rear Admiral L, BI. Goldsborough to the command of the Washington yard. Admi- ral Godon will be assigned to du‘y as Post Admi- tal at New York, in place of Stringham, who is & retired officer, and cannot be upon active duty under the recent order of the Secretary. That order also abolishes the position of Post Admi- ral at all places except New York, and by it Rear Admiral Goldsborough (on the active hist), who is Post Admiral at Washington, D. C., would have no duties to perform after the date upon which the order takes effect, October Ist, unless a change is made. THE POSITION of the United States in refer- ence to the French-Prussian war seems to be misunderstood abroad; otherwise it would not be believed in Prague thet our government has sent a dispatch to the American Minister at Berlin, expressing the hope that there would wow be a cessation of the war, in view of the fact that its mission—namely, the dethronement of Napoleon—had been accomplished. Nor would it be believed in London that three ener- getic dispatches have passed through that city from Washington to Berlin, against the further continuation of the war. The only official dispatch sent abroad relating to the war was that referred to in Saturday's §7Tan, ad- dressed to Minister Bancroft, but copies of which were also transmitted to Ministers Wash- burne and Motley, to the effect that while we canndt act in copnection with other nations, yet if our good 6ffices should be requested by both the belligerents, we should be happy to extend them with a view of bringing about a peace be- tween the two great powers with which we have traditional friendship. Pruseyt Comprrion oF THR UntTep STATES Navy.—There are about 180 vessela belonging to the Navy, but not one-half of them are in active service. Our various ficets abroad do not number fifty vessels in all. Six or eight steamers are on special service, and fifteen or eighteen are in use at the various navy yards and. stations as tug boats, recelving ships, &c. A few vessels are being fitted out at the several @ayy yards, and four of five are in use at the Xaval Academy. The others are lying idlo at navy yards throughout the country. ‘The fourth class screw steamer Galena, at the Norfolk navy yard, was recently offered for sale at public auction; but no bid was received equal to the amount of her appraisement, con- sequently she was not disposed of. There ares large number of such vessels laid up in the vari- ous navy yards, which were purchased the rebeluon, and are of ne use to’ the govere- ment now, and cannot be sold, as private parties will not pay the price for them which has been fixed by a boardof uavalofiicers. These vessels are mostly fourth class steamers, from one to five hundred tonnage, and were purchased for service in the Southern rivers during the rebel- lion, but are of no account for service on foreign stations; besides the law limits the nugber of seamen, and no crews can be enlisted for even if they were seaworthy. Tus NaTiOoNAL THEATER.—The National, now under the sole management of Mr. Wm. B. Spalding, opened last night for the season with @ crowded house, and despite the little stiffness ineldent to an opening night the performances went off in « style to indicate that Mr: Spalding has not only been successful im his ‘‘stars,” bat has also selected an acceptable stock company. The new play, ‘A Bird im the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush,” now running in New York and elsewhere, made a decided hit and will be reproduced to-night. It introduced te as. con siderable portion of the stock company of the National, amongst them Mr. Frank Mon daunt, leading man, already an established favorite here, Mr. Walter Lennox, low comedi- an, and who showed good capabilities in his line last might, Mr. John Wilson, juvenile, whose performance of the part ot “Reginald Prodigal” was decidedlyeffective, Mr. Matthew Snyder, a good “heavy man” from the Philadelphia theaters, &c. ‘The place of leading lady inthe National com- pany does not seem to have been filled yet, but the parts of “Madame Prodigal” and len Prodigal’ were exceedingly well performed by Mrs. 8. C. Germon, a lady always popular on the Washington stage, and Miss Fannie Pier-, som, soubrette, a new and pleasing candidats for public favor here. The Zavistowski susters in the burlesque of “Ixion” were very taking and seem likely to have arun. Mr. Spalding promises to make the season a lively and brilliant one. The Zavistowski sis- ters, will be followed by Joe Emmett, the Dutch comedian, who as ‘“‘Fritz” in Gayler's new play of ‘Our Cousin German,” is just now the sensa- tion of New York. Then will follow in rapid suc -ession the Florences, 0. Dowd Byron with his piece “Across the Continent”; Luci¥e West- ern; Harry Beckett with his ‘British Blondes”; the Hess English Opera Troupe; Barney Wil- liame and wife; Lotta; Kate Reignolds; Mrs. D. P. Bowers; Harry and Rose Watkins; Albert Aiken and his sensational play, ‘The Witches of New York”; E. L. Davenport; Joe Jefferson Little Nell, a new star; Fiske’s Opera Bouffe Maria Seebach, the German tragedienne; Frank Mayo, Sc. Thisembracesonly a portion of the features of the season, as the list after New Years is not fully completed. With a comfortable elegantly furnished house, a good stock company, and a brilliant succession of stare, the National will undoubtedly be the rallying place of the beauty, fashion, and cul- ture of Washington society this season. THE WATERING PLACES. Closing Tournament at the Fauquier White Saipbur Springs-A Brilliant Event—Spirited ription of the {Correspondence of The Evening Star.] Favquigr WAITE SULTAUR Sreines, yer? September 9, 1870. Dear Star:—With the flight of summer the Season at the Springs closes, and the crowning event isatournament. By 90’clockon Thursday morning the people began to assemble from various directions; over the little bridge span- ning the Rappahannock came the clattering of horse-hoofs and the rattling of wagons, and as the train passed up the road verity were we re- minded of “the days that are no more.” Stately Jeoking country gentlemeti, dignified matrons, aud pretty girls passed by in groups, here and theré & sturdy specimen of the plough boy clad in his “Sunday clothes,” or a sedate farmer would jug s!owly by on an old mare, while mounted behind him on the saddle sat a rory-faced sister or daughter whose dress out- vied any rainbow you or I have ever seen. Negroes riding or walking mingled with the whites, going to See what many of them termed, “the Circus.” These, howéver, were not such as old ‘Uncle John Marshall” and Davy Lan- easter, whose heads have grown white in long and faithful servitade, and whose hearts have often swelled with affectionate pride beholding their young masters among the“ Teurna-menters” of Auld Lang Syne. “Major, whar’s the tilting ground?” asked a native, and we followed the way pointed out. ‘The course chosen for the occasion lies in an opposite direction from the one known as the Springs Tournament Grounds of several years back. It is situated about a quarter ofa mile from the springs,—on the road to Warrenton— below a grave, where were gathered the specta- tors. Near by were the judges and the speaker, Mortimer Nelson, of Culpeper Court Houre, a young man destined to win not far in the futuge a fame of which his State may be Justhy proud. The Knights, attired in handsome eaits ob- tained frém Moxley, were as follows :—Knight of Montalban, T. P. Rixey, Culpeper county; Knightof Cascio, 8. J.

The sorties by the defenders are des- perate, but futile. Batteries are rapidly com- pleted. and heavier guns are placed in the nearest parallel. McMAHON’'S DEFENSE.
