THE NATIONAL Bank Revevrtiow AGENCY haz within the past six days called on the national banks for $1,350,919 in legal tenders t> reimburse it for their circulating notes re- 1 and assorted.

Tae WepprnG.—The attendance at the wad- Ging of Miss Sherman and Mr. Fitch, on Thurs- day, is likely to be so large thata few sugges- tions in regard tothe dress expected will not come amise. Protestants must remember that it will be deemed indecorous by Catholics for ladies to attend the mass with uncovered heals 80 those who do not wish to wear hats or bon- nets can arrange @ scarf of black or white taile or lace over their heads, a pretty and becoming headdress, and very mach in vogue at the wa- tering places this season. Reception toilets will be expected at both house and church. That is, dresses with corsages cut high or square; none decoliete. There will be no dressing: rooms at the bouse, asit is supposed that every ove will come prepared to enter the reception rooms. The house adjoining Gen. Sherman's, 8s well ag his own, will be nosed on the oce asion. It wexpected that thoes having tickets of in- Vitation to the church to witness the ceremo- nies of the marriage of Mis: Sherman will pre sent the enveiope containing the card of aduts- sion to the usher at the door with the car This is required in order to enable the usher t» Tecognize the parties and ass gn them tu seats reserved, and also to ascertain how many per cardent mission. When cards ies, there is but one card of a1 miasion for all included in the invitation. Train ficer and ORRALLB: eral Men Dan, A communication has been receive arters of the army, through Gen Sheridan, from Lieut. Col. W.'U. Lewis, manding Vamp Supply, Indian closing a note from Capt. W. Ly: infantry, commanding the train being seut Gen. Miles, in whicn he says, usder date of th 20th inst., that he is “‘corralled” by Comanc two miles north of the Washita, on Gen. M trail. He says he has been engaged morving of the 9th, having moved since th first firing aboat twelve miles. H» considers it injudicious to attempt to proceed fart view of the importance of bis train ai broken ground ahead. Commanication wi Gen. Miles had already been closad. He reports Lieut. Lewis dangerously wounded through the kmee, aud thinks he wili die if he has no medical assistance. ‘The assistant wagoner McCoy he reports mortaliy wounded and Sergeant DeArmon killed, and a dozen males disabled. Capt. Lyman says he thinks he can properly ask for quick a’ especially for Lieut. Lewis, a valuable ofiicer At the time of writing his command had only ‘mst! pool of rain water which would dry up tha day. He estimated the force surroundin his .ommand at several hun tred, and bslieve he bad inflicted severe punishment upon them. In forwarding this communication Gol. Lewis faye he received Capt. Lyman’s note on the 12th inst., and at once got together all the mounted men at the post and started them to therelief of the train at noon the same da The command sent out consisted of one lieutenant, an acting assistant surgeon, and fifty-eight men; would have sent a larger force if he had been able to mount them. Col. Lewis says Capt. Lyman’s force consists of two oficers and sixty-six armed men, including teameters bearing arms. He says he instructed the officer commanding the relief party to reac Capt. Lyman as soon as possible, and if neses: ry to accompany him to Gen. Miles’ commant, which be thinks will be met before reaching the Ked river. Bh FATAL Expiosion ov Gas.—An explosionof gas occurred Saturday night at tho res.denca of James Coates, Providence, R. I. Patrick Sheehan, @ carpenter, and Walter Patterson, Mr. Coates’ butler, were so badly burned that both died yesterday.

The the Tu Case of Fire at the Governmeat Pet ding Oftice. OPFICE OF THE Concressiovat Painter, ) | Wasarncron, September 25, 1574.5 Editor of the Star:—Baing a comstant reader of your journal, the communication andetito- rial it contained yesterday relating to the safety of the employes of this office in case of tire, dit not escape my notice. I think these articles are calculated to cause needless alarm and work unjust prejudice. Whil the importance of exercising all possible pre. cautton and care looking to the preservation of life and limb, in ease of coatlagration; and while I sbould deeply regret any unfortinate Teeuts, from a lack of abundant safegaants, 1 must deprecate any undue etfurt to impair eoa- fidence and create panic,in view of existing facts. The subject of the safety of tha eu ployes of this building in case of fire has been a matter of frequent conference between the en gineerin charge of the building and mysolr, and as often as it has been considered, in view | of the existing safeguards, we have come to the | «lel berate conclusion that these are abundant t> prevent fire or to effect its spaedy exc guishment should it uafortunately occur. ‘he ground story of the main building, which is used as engirie-room, press-room, drying- | room and ware-room—is without fire except | from gas for lighting. The paper and other inflammable materia! referred to by you your correspondent, is gathered from the ft constantly during the day, and hence there ca: be no dangerous accumulation thereof. Tn: machinery runs at alow rate of speed, and is kept constantly oiled, so that no ignition from friction can posmb!y occur. Then, again there are five doors in the press and drying-rooms anc three in the ware-rovm, as means of egress. The second-story is ocoupie: and used for the Purpeses of composition, proof-reading and oftices for the Congressional Printer and his clerke. No fire is nsed on this floor except in burning gas for lighting. Like the other stories it is heated by steam, and nothing inflammable is used to endanger sacety to either life or prop- erty as against fire. This story (has tive places of escape, one of which is nearly six feet wide. ‘The third-story is occupied by the bindery. It is heate:t by steam, and gas ts burned for light- ing, &c. Great care is constantly exercise:| throughont this department to prevent fire. The means of escape ,from this story, which when in full work contains only about 3) per- sons, is by two stairways and three elevators. ‘The fourth and upper story is used for com- positien of the Record, and for folding and stor- ing work in progress from the press to the bind- ery. Ithas two stairways and three elevatare he relieve the room of its occupants in case of re. ‘These stories are supplied with hose for ex tinguishing tires, with an abundant supply now of water in each, and vet the greatest prot tion existsin the constant and vigilant watch- care exercised thronghout the building during the honrs of labor. Daring this time the place is alive with mechanics and laborers on the watch, and it is not poarible, while thus ooca- pied and guarded, for a fire to originate in any part of the main building, and get one minute's startot observation, ard should one occur it could scarcely exist a minue after being discov- ered without being extinguished. Then, again, all experience demonstrates that when the of is iv full force,the building, with its existing means of egress,can clear itself of its people in five minntes, unless some act of crim- jnal folly should prevent. Ifind that the hose | held in the building as the maansof extinguish- ing fire hax been condemned by your corres pendent. ‘The engineer assures m3 that it was perfect when introduced, and has never been impaired by use. However, its condition will be severely tested, and if foand defective it wil! be supplanted by a perfect and more useful article. Noexpense necessary, under the judg- ment of a competent engineer, will be spared to fecure the employes of this office against accident to lite or Inmb in case of fire, for it were far better that a large sum of money shout be expended to insure safety than that either should be put in jeopardy. Yours,respectfuily, A. M. Carp, Cong. Printer. ® STAR has reopened the proposition of a first-class hotel for Washington, and enggests With | Mr. Corcoran’s square tor its location. Mr. Coreoran’s Consent and co-.operativn this potut could be made the most desirable in the District. It basa broad, open, southern front with the advantage of .Jackson square and th President’s grounds to look on, beside enough elevation to command a good northern view of the city. The idea of an opera house under the same roof, while not a new one, would be a attractive feature of a hotel of this c! io Weshington, and to bundreds of winter toarist. it would bea great inducement to remain in the c! This part of the building shonid be devoted especially to music and large parties Guring the fashionable seaton, where al! the dignitaries, foreign and Ametican residen’s of the capital, as well as such private citizens as could afford it, could hold their eocial recep tions. Now, who wi!l take the initiative? Tuere Plenty of wealth here to inaugurate th et, and this ovce accomplished the rest In order to insura success and t fom influences of speculation, let it be understcod at the et@rt that, while a reasonahly | good investment, its main purpose will be for the ornamentation and credit of the capits!.— Forney's Sunday Chromich MARYCAND Concnesstomal NomtNations. | —The nominations for Congress by both par- | tiesin Marvland have all been made, exe that of the Republicane in the Ist Congressional | district, a convertion for which purpose will meet on the 29th instant.

Bowen, ina let- ter to the New York Tribune, pronounces the statement of Miss Catherine E. Beecher that he was the real originator of the scandal against her brother wholly false, and denies that ho ever wrote a letter to Tilton or any other person accusing Mr. Beecher of adultery and rape. Bowen adds :—Mr. Beecher is well aware of the truth of these denials, and has often and re- cently eaid he did not censure or condemn hiin (Bowen) for his conduct in this most unfortu- nate affair. Deata Unpra DistRessine OigcumsTan- crs.—Austin Hatfield, a well-known resident of Westiield, N. J., met bisdeath ander peculi- arly distressing circumstances, on Sataniay evening. He has a son who is employai as a conductor on the Pennsylvania raiiroad.

The Loutsiana Muddie. GOV. RELLO« PLAINS THE CAPTURED TERS—THE “PERS” PAID TO GEN'L BUTLER AND OTHERS WERE POR LEGAL SERVICES. A special to the New York Times from New Orleans says that Gov. Kellogg states most pos- itively that, while he had certainly had many communications from the gentlemen named in the correspondence recently pu plished (printed in Saturday's Stag), yet he had never reecived from Gen. Butler or Caleb Cashing any letter containing a request for money which was to be given in payment for any service other than a perfectly legitimate one. The governor states in December, 1572. an application was art of the United States for 8 writ of prohibition in the case of Kellogg againet McEners and others—the object being tO prevent further proceedings in the case then pending in the circuit court of Louisiana. The B.F Batter and Matthew Carpenter, retaining them as legal advisers in the case, which was afterwards fully argued and decided, the writ of prohibition being ref Subsequently he again wrote to the gentlemen named, asking them for a statement of the amount te which he was indebted to them fur the services they In reply he received the lecters captured when the state house was taken. Mr. Kellogg t# most emphatic in the statement that uid tothe gentlemen were for legal ly, and were not intended to and did not in any way iotluence the action of Congress in the Louisiana case. ‘The Whits League party claim that they bave in their possession a letter which is very damaging to Senator Morton Mr. Kellogg denies this, and says that he neve received any communication from Morton which in the remotest degree relates to money matters, or connects him with anything of adishonorable nature. A CIRCULAR was distributed by Mr. Jobu S. McEnery on Sat- urday calling upon the offi z to turn over at once all earnestly requesting all citizens having in their posession arms or ainmunition belonging to the State to deliver the same to the persons above indicated, and saying that ‘(persons de- livering arms or ammunition will in nowise bs interfered with by the United Statesor State autborities.”” THR CONFERENCE COMMITTEE on Saturday again discussed the «uesteonof the returning board. An arrangement will proba. bly be made by which both parties will have an equal number of clerks, registers, and saper- virore, each party to bave two members ou the | returning board, and the fiith man to be a mod- | erate republican, to be named by thecther par- ties, Troops have been forwarded by General Emory to the pints designated in the original order of Attorney-General Williams—Shreve- port, Monroe, Coushatta, Wc. Mayor Wiltz has isned his procismation for the election of mayor and seven city administrators, to be held November 2, under the anspices of the sam? commiseioners as for the election of State off- cers. WHAT KELLOGG’s CHECK-ROOK SHOWS. The New Oricans Bulletin publishes a long list of stubs of Kellogg's check-book, showing that Carpenter received $4,500, Packard $4,100, and Beckwith $1,500. The Bulletin says:“We bave seen a letter from Carpenter to Kellogg, calling for more money, as he was bard up.” Maryland Politics. Montgomery Bisir, a citizen of Maryland, in | the autumn ‘of his’ days, has been sadly cast down bya failure to reascend into national politics through the suffrages of that state. He appealed, under strong patronage, to be nomi- pated by the democratic convention for the tive western counties of Maryland. This wouid | have made him the representative of the bour- bens ot Frederick, the bushmen ot Montgom- ery, the Dutchmen of Washington, the coal Giggers of Allegany, and the gladers of Garrett counties. With such an animated constituency, he might have been re-elected from year to year, and become an institution again. In his favor were the etate ring, headed by Senator- elect Pinckney White, and the canal ring, headed by Gorivan. Whyte will take his sest in the Senate in 1:75; and he reliea upon Blair, who lives in style opposite the White House, to enable him, under that imposing roof, to rival the hospitality of Tom Swann. Swann is the old kuow- nothing mayor of Baltimore; he mar- ried rich, grew richer, and bought a Washing- ton marsion in the block built by Morton's father-in-law, brown. There s is next door to Blaine, Buckingham, Fer Wood, and many other archers of -juab ¥ is indiferently well off; living in Baltimor would not keep & Weshington establi and it would be preposterous to ba Swenn for the Senate, and display. So the Blair house rt in many a revel devoted ane Anrapolle terrapin. The Canal Ring, meantime, possessing the revenues of a State work,wauted Biair, t oy the Chesapeake and Qhis canal over th taine to the Monongahela. This King bad mvney, 8nd, once nomin: money woaldt }robably have elected Blair with ease; fur I have heard the chairman of the convention say that, in the two western counties, there was a govd deal of venality.

Herald prints the following d. b from Memphis, Sept. 2¢:—I have just received information of a remarkable sequel to the at tempted killing of George F. Long by Congress- % Toscumbia, Ala., early in the summer. Mr. pe it wil beremembered,had been paying his addresses to a daughter of Mr. Sh as, aud, according to general report, was her accepted suitor; but, being distasteful to the young lady"s parents on acceunt of looseness or Teck lestness of habits, had been forbidden the house and the lady's society. No sooner was this cone than Long began to defame the lady's cbstacter, asserting in public,on numerous oc- casions, that she was unchaste. Informed of this on his returo from Wasbington after the adjournment of Congress. Sloss proceeded to huntup Long, and whiletytng in walt for him in a store on the principal thoroughfare, dis- charged the contents of a double-barreled shot gun, heavily loaded with buckshot, at the tra- ducer as he passed by ov the outside. Long fell pierced with thirteen of the missiles, and was carried to his father’s house as a dying 1 while Sloss surren A himself to the authert ties, by whom he was in ately, or soon after, released on his own recoguirance. Sings lar to relate, Lowever, Long recovered in coarse of time And now for the sequel of the tragedy. Since the shooting Miss Sioss, for whom and her father public sympathy has been unqualified, has lived very quietly at home, but movements on her part of late inspired her mother to keep aclose watch on her, and tt may be said that since the recovery of long she has been a pritoner. On Wednesday she complained of cold feet, and said to her mother she would go down stairs and get some stimulant, as she feared a chill was coming on. As she did not return within a reasonable time her mother fol- lowed to learn the cause of delay, and found she had left the house; also that Long had been seen lurking about the premises, Seizing a pair of pistols she started into the town in pursuit, and after some time arrived ata e's office “just im time to be too late” fora marriage cere- mony. In the midst of agroup of Long's friends stood Long and her daughter receiving the oon- @tatulations customary on sach occasions. En- Taged at the sceoe, Mrs. Sloss flew at Long and attempted to shoot him, but was held back by the spectators. who admonished her th: he was too late, that the pair were man and wife now, and violent conduct on her part would only tend to make matters worse. After farther per- euasion she accepted the situation with as good a grace as her feelings would permit, and turned home, while Long and the daughter pro- ceeded to the home of the bridegroom's father. Congressman Sloss, who is making @ cany of bis district for re-election, was absent at the time of thisoccarrence, but has been advised, and is € xpected to return daily and make things lively in Tuscumbia. Long seems to bave many lives. In several encounters previous to his ‘hooting by Sloss he was desperately wounded and given up for dead, and on one occasion, while on 8 ratiroad train, going at twenty miles an hour, fell between two cara, and, caugbt in some way, was dragged, bounding over the crossties, for nearly a mile before be- ing discovered and extricated in a badly batter- ed and apparently dying condition. At the present time be carries in bis body bullets enough for acampaign, and is obliged every week or so tosubmit to an operation on his head, where he was wonnded by Sloss. tional KE ch Amer ican Marksmen Victoriow The international ritie match took place Sat- urday, at the Creedmoor Kange.
