P.R. De ‘Trobriand, with headquarters at Omaha, Neb. yesterday received orders to proceed to Al. ‘he Secretary of War this morning re- ceived @ .elegram announcing that six compa- nies of the regiment under Lieut. Col. Morrow had started for the south, and that the other Companies would follow as soon ag they could be collected. RRQUISITIONS for stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers, aggregating 7,500,000, beve been received at the Post Office depart- ment since the Ist inst. These requisitions are forwarded to the Plympton Manufacturing com- pany, of Hartford, which has the contract for Turnisbing the articles named. As yet the com- pany is unprepared to furnish a single envelo; or Wrapper, and in ae it is quite pro! able that the public will have to without stamped envelopes or newspaper wrappers for at least a month to come. The new contractors bave as yet furnished no proofs of dies to the department for approval Tae Sioux INDIANS AND THEIR AGENTS.— in answer toa note of inquiry respecting the charge of swindling on the part of the agents of the Sioux, addressed by General Cowen, act- ing Sécretary ef the Interior, to Dr. C. O.’Cox. of this city, one of the commissioners recent! appointed to visit the Sioux country, Dr. CG. 8 “During my sojourn at Whetstone and Red Cloud agencies I heard nothing of irrega- larities or frauds on the part of agents. In the councils held and the private conferences with Indians the usual complaints were made of inadequate provision tor their needs and un- rulfilled promises on the t of the Great Father and bis officials, but no attention was paid to murmurings which are constitutional and chronic, aud doubtless without fvandation in fact. I did learn at Cheyenne that the flour furnished by the contractor was generally of very inferior quality, and had been condemned by Col. Long, the military inspector, but know nothing of any improprieties or fraudson the part of agents.” A Sorrcrrovs Faruer with a Horgrv. Son.—A letter was received at the White House this morning addressed to President Grant, from an ambitious father in Indiana, who requests that the name of his son, now four years of age, be placed on the list of eligible candidates for appointment to West Point. The writer adds that he is extremely solicitous that the rising youth shall receive a military educa- tion, inasmuch ‘‘as it is inhim,” and makes the plication thus early so that when heel acca or arrives at the my no age to \dges he may go right into business.

President Gorman submitted the monthly report for Sep- tember. It states the coal tonnage during the month to be 100,635 tons, a decrease of 5,890 tons pevses, £17,776 12; net revenue, $15.62 wed tonnage is due to the strike of the bostmen, but the topnage for the year shows a decided increase over la-t year. viz: F: ion to Oct ber 1, 187 ; increase tn ase in revenue in the eame 73.41. The company has been enabled during the present year to pay four overdue coupons on the preferred constraction bends which bear a face value of £205,949, and to have left on the 3d instant $110,117.91, which will enabie them to appropriate $50,985 to pay the coupon due Jan. Ist, 1861, making the a) Propriations on this account this year $253,’ largest amount that has ever been paid in I yea! Aes there yet remains more than two months of navigation, it is confidently expected that an- other coupon can be p id before the close of the Season. The id extinguishment of this debt is, 1 am sure, not only satisfying to the board, but will be appreciated a, the people of the state and all other creditors, as the state of Maryland cannot realize one dollar trom her investment in this work until the overdue and accruing interest on the preferred construction hords, together with principal, has been paid. The principal of this debt is $1 500; Overdue interest to begs at 1874, $1,376,595. Total, $3,- 6,095. That this debt can be liquidated with- in a reasonable time if the re ources of the com- pany are properly husbanded, is no Ta question. Iam convinced that the time has arrived when the increased facilities heretofore recommended for the shipment of coal at Georgetown should be furnished, and which wilt Increase the revenue without advancing your present rate of tolls,as will enable the company to pay off the debt within ten years. Tae RerveLicaN NOMINATIONS AND PLAT- FORM IN MASsaCHESsETTS.—The republican state convention of Massachusetts yesterday nominated Governor Talbot on the first ballot ae candidate for the governorship. He obtained 5 vetes, Mr. = receiving the next highest number of votes, . The total number of votes was 1,032. Gov. Talbot is an uncompro- mising probibitionist, and is pledged to veto any measure contrary to that doctrine of goy- ernment. This fact is estimated to be an el ment of weakness in his canvass, the larger towns and cities being thoroughly disgusted with the results of probibition. The democratio nominee is ex-Mayor Gaston, of Boston, who is @ yersonally onexceptionable candidate, and the election Fromises to be unusually close. The rest of the ticket is as follows: Horatio G. Knight, Lieutenant Governor; Oliver Warner, Secret of State; Charles R. Train, # ttorney Charles Endicott, Auditor; Charles Adame, Jr., Treasurer. The resolutions reaf- firm devotion to the principles upon which the republican party was founded; declare that a sound currency is indispensable to national prosperity; that to this end the nation must make its demand promises to pay equal to gold, and that no infistion of the currency by adding to government issues should be permitted; com= mend the President for his Lage Suppression of the Louisiana revolution, and rehearse the fidelity cf the republican party to its trusts and obligations. Strike RIoTs aT THE SCRANTON CoAL Mines.—There has been some trouble among the miners at Moosic, # small own near Scran- ton, Pa., during the past twe days. Some time since the bose of the mine discharged aboy, and the miners refused to work unless he was Trein- stated and the bos discharged. This the oom- pany refused to do end all efforts te induce the met to go to work proving unavailing they concluded to get miners from a distance. Dur- ing the first of this week a numberof Welsh miners arrived, but were prevented from going ito the mines by the strikers, who are prin= cipally Iri-h. Weapons of all kinds were dis- played yesterday, bat no one was hart. An effort toenter the mine was postponed. Sher- iff Whittaker left Wilksbarre with a posse of fifty men, and was joined at Moosic by a a ber from ' Scranton, under charge of [ y Sheri? Bostree. The rioters offered n9 resis- tance to the sheriff, and the company cent the new workmen into the mine. Twelve of the leading rioters were arrested and taken to Wilkesbarre, and ofter a hearing were commit- ted to jail in default of bail. The sheriff's posse is still at Moosic, and more arrests will be made to-day, , More Comprications rn Lov! isiana afiairs bid fair to present further com plications. There is already a misunderstanding as to the terms of the conference agreement, and Gov. Keliogg has written a letter defining his understanding of the matter. The adviso: board held a stormy session yesterday, whic lasted between five and six bours. Mr. Packard introduced a resolution stating that the White Leagues were still being organized and armed, anc calling for their disbandment. This reso- lution was rejected, and one offered by E. A. Burke was adopted, to the effect that such de- monétrations as the drilling of armed men in the streets of New Orieans be discontinued.

ROSE COLOR ViQW BY A CORRESPONDENT WHO WRITES FROM HEARSAY. Naw York, October 8.—The Tribune has sent & correspondent to Alabama to investigate the reports of outrages on republicans in that state. His first letter, dated Montgomery, Octoder 31, is published this morning, and contains the fol? lowing: “I know nothing, personally, of the condition of the disturbed counties; I shall go to them in a day or two; but as faras I hare been able to investigate I have found that the administration jour and administration politicians have grossly slandered the people of thisstate. The party press on both sites is very bitter in the cotroversy, but the republican pa- pers are just as denunciatory of their opponents &s those publisbed in the interest of the demo- cratic party, and it is not trae that the latter bave advised or do now advise their friends to resort to intimidation or violeuce. The authors of some of these sianders that are destroying the credit of the state and driving ray emi- grants, live in thiscity, and I don’t wonder they sere treated with contempt. They say they are ostracised, but they pass through streets without molestation or insult, and I bave the word of high republican officers here that so- Gloty and in business relations honerabie men, nO Matter what their politics, are treated alike, except by a few worthless fellows, whose society nobody desires. SON'S ARGUMENT. New York, October 8.—Charles O'Connor, ima letter to-day, reviewing the argument of Keverdy Johnson on Louisiana says: “The sin- gle point in issue between Mr. Jobnsun aud myself is whether an executive error, such as lent committed in stifling the legitimate voice of Louisiana and Pongo J a usnrper in the chairjof state, binds the Presi- dent bimeelf, and makes a sortof li man #O that, willy nilly, he must thenceft be ever ready t> come at the call of the usurper, and with the whole executive power of the union crush all local opposition. The illegitimacy of Kellogg's original claim is asserted by Mr. Jobneon with the concurrence ot poe d every Og intelligent and disinterested person bavi! any knowledge of the subject. This should be kept in view, since much is always gained in discus- sion by confining the issue to its own precise limits,” One advantage here is that it will en- able those learned jurists who may think Kel- jogg was duly elecied to examine and without the excitement of passion or partiality, to form An independent optnion concerning Johnson's dog ma that executive resolutions in such a case are irrecovabie. Mr. O'Connor then proceeds to combat Mr. Johnson’s argument and to show that the President can should reconsider his decision, The Episco; General Convention, New York, October 8.—The general conven. tion of the Protestant Episcopal church re- sumed its session this morning. The proceed- ings were opened with religious service. The business meeting was not called to order until after 11 o'clock, The nomination of Rey. Dr. Williams as assistant secretary to the conven- tion wes confirmed. After a few announce- ments from the chairman on rules to govern speakers who wished to be recognized by the chair, the secretary read the list of standing committees. The committees are on the gen- eral theological seminary, on domestic and for- eign missions, on the admission of new dioceses, on consecration of bishops, on canons. ———— Foreign Notes. NEST HIDING.

MATTERS REVORE THE CONVENTION, The never-ending dispute about ritualism it is believed is certain to coms before the con- vention ‘n more than one shape and on more than one occasion, together with the Cammins movement and other issues which have at- tracted general attention sini the last trien- nial convention. Seven of the forty-one di- oceses, viz: Central New York, Bishop Hun- tngdon; Western New York, Bishop Coxe; Pennsylvania, Bishop Stevens; Virginia, Bisho; Johns; Massachusetts, Bishop Paddock; Dela- ware, Bishop Lee; and Khode Island, Bishop Clark, have adopted strong resolutions against the ‘extreme practices” commonly known as ritualistic, and appointed as delegates to the general convention men known to be more or less identified with low church principles. in addition to there matters, a number of im portant subjects will be considered at the ses- sion which opened yesterday. One of the most important of these is the proj increase of the episcopate. A petition is now before the house of bishops asking for a consecration of a nombe- of missionary bishops for the west and porthwest—a request largely owing to the ex- traordinary results which have attended the labors of Tuttle and Whipple in Montans and Minnecota. A project bas also been agaitated In the same house for a missionary bi ~g to the Indians and another to the blacks the south. The subject of inter-communion with the Russo- Greek church has also been referred to a com- mirsion, who have visited Constantinople and laid the subject before the patriarch of that city. Another commission on friendly inter- course with the church of Sweden have visited Stockholm and also prepared a reportto the convention. ORGANIZATION.
