They will be of the same general form as legal ender notes, very little larger, and will be got up re- ‘gardiess of expense for the sake of security. Proofs of ‘the backs, printed in gold colored ink, have already beon sent to Treasurer Van Dyck for his inspection and sug- Several denominations of the new gold backs will be ready for issue at the New York Sub-Treasury in the course of a few days. GOVERNMENT SEEURITIES. Circumstances frequently occur which render it of ‘reat interest, both to the government and to private parties, to be able to trace government securities. It is, therefore, very desirable that banks and all persons dealing in these securities should keep a record of each Separate transaction in them, stating the name of the Person, firm or institution of whom they were purchased or to whom sold, their location, the kind of security and ite sories, date, denomination and number. INTERESTING TO EMPLOYES OF THE TREASURY— THEIR HOURS OF LABOR AND NECESSARY QUALI- FICATIONS. The following circular has boen issued to the chiefs of all Treasury lager — EASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. 18, 1865. Sm—By ‘isccdio of the Secretary, on and after No- vember I the hours of work m all the bureaus of the ‘Treasury Department willbe from nine A. M. to four P. M. After full consideration this arrangement is deemed advisable and most for the interest of tae government. You will therefore cause the clerks in your bureau to be seasonably notitied of the hours during which their at- ‘tendance will be required, and will enjoin upon them the necese'ty of a prompt and continued devotion to the du- ‘ties ut their desks during business hours. The Secretary also instructs me to take this occasion ‘to request you to cause to be made a thorough revision and re-examination into the qualifications and hee ness of the clerks under your charge. There is, will continue to be, pon! pressure upon the favartant from applicants for clerkships, who luring the war have served in the army or navy of the United States.

Lieutenant Eldridge, the Assistant Adjutant General in “Mississippi of the Freedmen’s Bureau, arrtved from that State yesterday at Washington. He remarks that the property of such of the inhabitants as abandoned their residences upon the successive inroads of the Union ar- mies, thus causing it to be taken into the custody of the Bureau, is now being returned to them as fast as the papers requisite to accompany the transfer can be made ont. Joe Davis, brother -of the rebel chief, has made application for the restoration of his extensive landed property and that of Jofferson Davis, claiming that the latter really belongs to him, and that his brother was but the nominal owner. He represents that he will brook no delay in the matter of restoration, but will assume the occupancy of the prop- erty without the authority of a permit from the com- mander unless that officer accedes to the request with special promptitude. Social affairs are said to be com- paratively tranquil, though in the remote interior coun- ties of the State there is an occasional outbreak that be- tokens the desirability of a prompt restoration of the functions of the civil law. The more wealthy and intel- ligent citizens are zealously endeavoring to restore har- mony among the people everywhere, and Lieutenant ldridgo think that there is a favorable increase in the general order of the State, FEARS OF NEGRO INSURRECTIONS IN THE SOUTH. Fears of nogro insurrections continue to agitate the Southerm mind, and a long memorial was to-day pre- sented at General Grant’s headquarters from Southern . Citizens asking for such military protection as they deem Recessary to prevent outbreaks. Their fears are consid- ered groundless ; but an eye will doubtless be kept on the matter, THE EXPENDITURES OF THE STATES FOR WAR PUR- POSKS. All statements that the Treasury Department has been or is paying money to the various States on account of their oxpenditures for war purposes during the war are entirely untrue, The accounts of the various States are passing through the Auditor's and Comptroller's offices ; but no payments of any kind are being made to any State. MAJOR GENERAL STANNARD REINSTATED. Major General George H. Stannard, of Vermont, who was honorably mustered out of the service in August, was to-day roi:fstated in the service by order of the President, on the personal recommendation of Lieutenant General Grant. General Stannard is regarded as one of the bravest soldiors of the war, He was severely wounded at the battle of Gettysburg and lost his arm at the bate tle of Chapin’s Farm. PERSONAL. The announcement this evening that Commissioner “Orton, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, has been clected President of the United States Telegraph Company, and ‘will probably enter on tho discharge of his new duties on the Ist of November, created no little surprise among the few to whom it was communicated, and was received with universal regret. Mr. Orton was confessedly one of the ‘Dest business men in Washington, and will carry a high ordor of ability to his new position. Mr. BE. A. Rollins, present Assistant Commissioner, will undoubtedly suc ceed Mr. Orton, Indeed no one else could be found auf ficently familiar with the past workings of the bureau to conduct ite affairs harmoniously without serving an ap- pronticeship. Should he be appointed the place will be ‘well filled, and no discord mark the change. Alexander H. Stephens arrived from New York to- night, and is stopping at Willard’s. ‘The Prosidont to-day appointed W. A. Cromwell to dis: charge the duties of Fourth Auditor of the Treasury dar- ing the temporary absence of Mr. Tabor. General Stahl is stopping at the Metropolitan. Henry J. Raymond and numerous other prominent political personages were in waiting at the White House for several hours to-day, but were compelled to leave without obtaining interviews.

Fuller who was formerly a druggist on the corner of College and Cedar streets, Nashville, Tenn, He is represented to be a semi-spy, a semi-scout and secret service em- ploye of the government, It is asserted that he has lot- ters from at least seven major generals attesting his loyalty, This, at least, is his statement, It is true that he is yet in prison, and has thus far had no oxamination or trial, although imprisoned over ninety days. THE INMATES OF THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON, Wira and Briscoe are the only prisoners of note now confined in the Old Capitol Prison. Starting with a small miscellaneous collection of minor offenders a few weeks ago, the government detectives have been working to fill up the Old Capitol to something like its old war complement. They have succeeded in collecting about twonty certifi- cate forgers, horse thieves and dishonest government employes, who now occupy quarters made famous in more stirring times by more noted men. RAIDS ON THE GAMBLING HOUSES. > The sporting fraternity of Washington, now the times of conspiracies and disloyal practices are past, are com- ing in for more than their share of attention from the ‘War Department police. Hardly a day passes but some one of the “tiger” keepers is summoned te General Baker's headquarters and forced to disgorge the greater portion of his previous night's fleece. Thore isa decided objection to these amusements, and a firm determination to preserve the morals of this community this winter, INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.

Captain Bradford, master of the steam yacht River Queen, has been notified by the Quartermaster General to proceed with the above craft to New York preparatory to her discharge from the governmont service. The River Queen is one of the most elegant and fleet crafts in the service, and has officiated as headquarters boat in the respective service of Lieutenant General Grant, General Butler, and more latterly has been in the em- ploy of the President, having conducted President Lin- coln and Secretary Seward to the celebrated peace con- ference at Hampton Roads im February last. THE UNITED SERVICE CLUB. Colonel McGregor, of New York, had an extended in- terview with the President this morning in relation to the claims the United Service Club had upon the govern- ment for a share in the distribution of New York city patronage, The President is understood to fully reco) nize its claims, and to have promised its recommenda- tions a careful and favorable consideration. GOVERNOR PIERPOINT AND COMPTROLLER CLARKE. ‘The reported conversation between Governor Pierpoint and Comptroller Clarke, of the Treasury Department, a day or two since, which led to the former being ordered out of the room, has given riso to some discussion here. Careful inquiry substantiates the truth of the Heranp's version in every particular. The Governor was cer- tainly intemperate in language, and exceedingly indis- creet in showing his hand thus carly in the game. MAIL SERVIOE IN TBXAS. Contracts for United States mail service im Texas, over a length of eighteen hundred miles of coumtry, have just been consummated, which strike all the principal points in that State. One route of about three humdred and eighty-five miles, over six railroads, connocts Galveston and Houston and other cities. NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. Colonel William S. Rowland, Commissioner of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, is here making ap- Phication at the Interior Department for the withdrawal from sale of the surveyed lands along the line, in Wis- consin, Mimnesota, Oregon and Washington Territozsy, and on other business connected with the laterests of the company. Personal Intelligence. Governor Lyon passed through Atchison last week on his way to Idaho, His stay at the East was fraught with great advantage to that Territory in making its resources lmown and appreciated by capitalists, and through his in- dividual exertions thousands of dollars are being invested in quartz crushing machinery for that far-off region. His labors while here were unceasing, and wo congratulate the people of Idaho upon having one of the most indus- trious, laborious and zealous of governors. His adminis- tration of the Indian affairs af the Territory havo boen pre-emincatly satisfactury to the government, and the entire direction through the Secretary of the Interior has been placed in his hands for the extinguishment of tho Indian title to the whole of Idaho. Among the departures for Europe a few days ago was the Rey. Father Everett, of Nativity Church, Second ave- nue. Father Evorett has labored earnestly and zealously in this parish, particularly in visiting the poor, sick, and all who are distressed in mind or body.

Tux Orrnans’ Benarit at THe AcapEMy oF Music. — The annual benefit for the Roman Catholic orphans at the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon and evening was, in point of numbers attending and the receipts ob- tained, a very satisfactory affair, On both occasions the house was crowded to its fullest capacity. The dismal, unpropitious weather did not chill the warm heart of charity, and nothing could have been less encouraging than the state of the atmosphere during the afternoon, which dec'dedly disimproved in the evening. Probably at no previous benefit were the friends of the orphans so largely represented, nor, we trust, did the proceeds ever exceed those of yesterday, althongh they always on these occasions most liberal. In the aftern the audience was mainly composed of ladies, he cus. tom is at all matinees. "pat the attendance of children in immense force was noticeable from the applause which rang from tiny voices such as the Academy rarely rever: perates with. Chanfrau’s Toodles, poorly *pported as {t was, proved a t attraction to the young felks. Tho San’) cisco Minstrels, however, with their overflowing wit and fun and delicious harmony, were the genaine attraction both for young and old. ey were most en- thusiastivally received end re) ly encored. The final piece in the afternoon formance did not uppear to mach charm for the audience, a8 we observed quite a large number to leave the house at the opening of the drama, which was the Maid of Croissey, with a full Bowery cast. The Sorious Family amd a not over brilliant farce were given in the evening, together with other combinations, including some good melodies by Mr. and Mias Geary. Upon the whole we conceive that the gentlemen representing the orphans who had the af- fair under their management may congmtulate them- selves upon the pecuniary results, which must have been very handsome. The stage part of the entertainment was, of course, in other bende and if it did not come up to a'desirable standard of excellence m all particulars the managing committee are not responsible, We are lad to be able to record that the benefit was a success for the estimable institution in whose behalf it was got up.

The Negro Troops to be Discharged’ and White Soldiers Retained. de. &e. &. Our Brownsville Correspendence. Buownsvitia, Texas, Sept. 29, 1865. NEGRO TROOPS TO BE MUSTERED OUT AND WIITE TROOP? RETAINED. A mail from the North reached us to-day, bringing files of New York papers, m one of which is contained the statement that in the reorganization of the army about to take place the colored troops will be mustered out of the service. Several orders have been reccived here indirectly confirmatory of this view, and the quos- tion naturally excites much interost and comment, the more so as the general impression is, among the officers of the Twenty-fifth corps (many of whom, including itsgallant commander, are of the regular army), that these troops are, or can be made, as efficient as any class of soldiors. That they are susceptible of the highest discipline and the complotest drill, is no longer a mooted question. This 1s allowed by every one who has had any opportu- nity of judging. Will they fight? is a question upon which there is more dispute; but all exporience teaches that discipline will make practically brave men of the Yeriest cowards in the world, and it cannot be suj that the negro forms any exception to this admitted rule. Again, it is no small item in their favor that the universal testimony of officers who have commanded them 18 that they behave well in action as a rule, and that if at apy time they have behaved badly it was only when there was good reason to suppose that any troops would havo acted in the samo manner under similar circumstances. It is not, how- ever, my purpose to recite the various arguments in favor of Totaining the colored troops in the service with which the country is famiiiar, and which, if not unan- swerable, are at least unanswered; but rather to state the resulta of my observation of these troops upon this frontier, with a brief sketch of the personnel of the more prominent commanding ofticers. Said a distinguished division commander in my pres- ence but recently, “You cannot make a laborer and a soldier out of one man.” Tho truth of the observation is obvious enough; and yet this is what the commanding officers in the Twenty-iifth corps have been required to do since its occupancy of this frontier. ‘The details for labor in the Quartermaster, Commissary and Medical Departments have been enormous, and still are so, and the morale of the command has been seriously affected thereby. The men perform the dutios required of them cheerfully enough; they go to their labor beneath the scorching sun of this Southern clime with many a laugh and gong; but when, upon their rettrn, they are sum- mened out for drill or parade, their step is not clastic, their dress not so clean, nor their arms in as good con- dinon as though they were only required to perform their duties as soldiers. And yet, in spite of these and other disadvantages which these troops have had to en- counter, on several poblic occasions they have called forth the highest encomiums from our own and foreign offieers on account of their fine appearance, soldicrly bearing and perfection of drill Brownsviuix, Toaas, Sept, 30, 1865. In accordance with instructions from the War Dopart- mont the following named regiments of the Twenty-tifth corps willbe immediately mustered out of the service, via:—In the First division—the Twenty-second United States colored troops, Twenty-ninth Connecticut Volun- teers (colored), and Forty-third United States colored troops. In the Second division—The Eighth, Forty-tirst, Forty-fifth, Twouty-ninth and Thirty-first United States colored troops. In the Third division—The Twenty- eighth, One Hundred and Twonty-seventh United States colored troops and the Fifth Massachusetts cavalry (colored). These comprise all the regi- ments in the corps which were organized in the Northern States; the instructions from the War Department directing the mustering out of all such regiments, This will materially decrease the force now n this frontier, leaving of the Twonty-fifth corps wut eighteen thousand men, of whom not far from twelve thousand bape gino for’ duty.

THE RYFROT ON THE CORPS The regiments to be mustered out in accordance with the instructions mentioned, being tor the most part made up of Northern men,. were composed of the best and most intellicent material in the corps, and details were made from them for clerks, orderlies, and other positions requiring a greater or less education. Alroady it has been found necessary to introduce a large number of citizen clerks into the Various departments of tho corps, and others must necessarily be added to fill the places of the enlisted men, now about leaving the sorvice. The staff of the First division, Brevet Major General Giles A. Smith commanding, is almost ontirely made up of officers from those regiments. Their names and posi- tions are as follows:—J. H.

The river is now considered navigable toa 4 near five miles above Roma, where the channel is structed by amass of sand stone rock. In 1847, Li tenant Patten, o the regular army, was sent to examine into theve and other obstructions ‘and report upon the practicability of their removal, After a thorough exami. nation he reported to tho War Department that they could be removed at an expense of not more than $20,000. Nothing further was done, The removal of these rocks would open the river to the fails or rapids, near Loredo, around witch Licutenant Patten reported a canal could be easily construeted, a distance of less than three miles. Above that point, for over five hundrod miles, the river is broader and deeper than at any polat below and the channel as free from obstroetions, While heretofore, for obvious reasons, the navigation of this river has attracted but little attention above this yet in view of our oecupaney of this frontier by a CrnatdeFabte force for some time to come, with the possi- bility of military operations in the not distant future, with the new impetus to development which will follow upon the settlement of New Mexico and other territories. con- tiguous to Northwestern Texas, the day cannot be far distant when this question will excite the interest both of our government and of eapit ‘THK COUNTRY AOVE LOREDO is open, rolling and very productive. Two hundred and fifty miles above that place is an extensive vine growing country, the cultivators of whieh have heretofore sent their products across the river into Mexico, Where the remuneration afforded them has constituted aemall in- centive to labor, and would be a thousand fold, enhanced by the unobstrdeted navigation of tho river to the Boca del Rio, GRSRRAL Went recently paid a visit to this frontier fer the puzpose of personally inspecting this portion of his command.

Puruapmurwa, Oct. 19, 1865: Much good fooling has boom caweed today by the arrival of delegates from Ireland. A REPORT FROM IRELAND! DIRECT. Patrick J. Meehan, » prominent IvistAmerican jour- nalist, who has been traversing his native island, | returned in the steamship City of hondom, and arrived to-day iu thie city to attend the Congress. Mr. Mechan while in Ireland was in contact with the men, and examined thetr plans from a most inpastial standpoint. He comes back to his American co-workers with im- proved opinions. He feels that a magnificent work has boen accomplished, and that the Americaw Brotherhood may be proud of their men in the breach. The organiza tion is powerful, the management masterly aadithbe posi- tion solid. ‘THR PFNANCIAL CANVASS. Alroady the-financiat canvass in this country is: being initiated. In Chicago committees are at work. The city is districted, and every man of Irish birth, bloed and sympathy: called om to subscribe to the bontt’ loan. Those refusing to subscribe will have their namesrtaken down and preserved for history archives. The same'plan is about to be adopted in Philadelphia, Pittsburg andother cities. They have determined to make their country- men show their hands and record themselves on cither side of the line. It is expected that the Congress before a\journing will dofine wgeneral position for the Brothor- hood in the preimises, FURTHER ACCESSIONS. Furthor delogations have arrived to-day from Pittsburg and’other places, The: California men have not yet ar rived. An organization im New York city, embracing some twenty colonels and large numbers of comm:ssioned: officers, all veterans of the American service, has signified its alliance to the Brotherhood, and eginied in the person of the chief, Colonel ‘Miehael lurphy, and others, for representation in the Congress. They have been received. SECRETARY SEWARD'S DENIAL. The speeches of Colonel William R. Roberts, of New York, and others, at the Academy of Music last night, have been generally disoussed) and approved by the dele: gates, Mr, Seward's despatch om the occasion, branding the assortion: of British or:ans regarding his giving in- formation: against’ Fenianism as a calumny, was well re- coived. The delegates are pleased to know that England can find no informers in America to-day. ‘The session was only interrupted by dinner, and ro- sulted in the transaotion of more business than has been transacted on all previous days. If facility in, despatch of business: onables them, the Congress propose to pay a:visit to Independence Huil and’ other historic scoues in @ body.
