NEW YORE, Ootober 7.-Tho announce? ment from Washington that the Trea? sury Department would sell $5,000,000 in gold, to-day, and buy $5,000,000 bonds, created a stir in financial oiroles. Last evening, a large crowd of Wall Btreet operators were congregated at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, discussing the gold question. The Times says it is now understood, upon good and well-in? formed authority, that the Government will place at least $1,000,000 in gold upon the market, to be sold for the bene? fit of those needing ooin to pay duties and transact their foreign business. A Washington despatch says the Go? vernment will shortly take vigorous and decisive action for protecting our Texan boundaries from incursions of Mexican smugglers and robbers. PHILADELPHIA, October 7.-At a spe oial session of the Supremo Court, to? day, Judges Strong, McKeunan and Gadwall?der on the bench, the following ?[uestion, growing out of a report that randuleut naturalization papers were in existence, was propounded: Whether, when in the. event of a. man offering to vote upon a naturalization paper pur? porting to have been issued out of the proper offloe in Philadelphia, whioh paper is known to bo fraudulent, either ia cons?quence of tho applicant not hav? ing been in tho country more than a few months, or ia' consequence of his not having boon to Philadelphia during that time, a Deputy United States Marshal can arrest anon person so offering and endeavoring to vote apon the spot and take him before a United States Com? missioner? Judge Strong, the other Judges concurring, said: "The eighth section pf the Aot of Congress of Febru? ary 28, 1871, ? defines very dearly the duty of the . Marshal and Depaty Mar? shal, and: I know ho authority in thu court by .whiohXcan instruct them." GOLDSBOB?, ?E?. Of, Ootober 7. -To day, fifty oitiz'eas.of Pitt County, Nortt Carolina, were brought to this place, ii charge of United States-Deputy Marsha Franks, and carried before United State: Commissioner Robinson,|on a oharge o obstructing United States Commissions! Cox and United States Deputy Marsha Roach in the discharge of their officia duties. After a long and patient hear ing, the ' cases. were ali dismissed lr United States Commissioner Robinson who characterized the oharges as con tomptihle. While tho. citizens arreste? cannot bat feel thankful that they fount a United States Commissioner win woald give them a fair trial, they can not bat regret that men like Cox am Roach disgrace the Government of th United States, and prove a source o annoyance and sometimes of terror t the non-offending people of the country COLUMBIA, S. C., Ootober 7.-Master and Past Masters of tho Patrons o Husbandry meet in convention here oi the 9th instant, to organize a Stat Grange for South Carolina. They wii organize with seventy-eight snbordinat Granges, making the largest State Orang now io existence, except that of Ohio. Great preparations are being made b the State Agricultural and Mechanic; Association for their annual fair, to ope here on the 6th of next month. Th exhibition will be more extensive au the attendance, no doubt, will oxceo any previous year. SAVANNAH, GA,, October 7.-Reporl from Ooaaties continue to swell th Demooratio majority, whioh, from pr? sent indications, will be 65,000. The Washington Slar (Repnblioai publishes tho following this evenin from Philadelphia: Tho eleotion, t< morrow, is the only thing thought < or talked of. There is a general stan? still in business, and every one is pr paring for to-morrow. So far as th oity ia concerned, the canvass of tl Republicana is the most thorough at systematic ever made. I am sorry cannot say the same for the State. It generally acknowledged that the Repu lioan Committee is a very inefficient on and its canvass has been a series blunders. This, with the uapopulari of Hartrauft, the Republican candida for Governor, has had a dispirits effect; bat fortunately all this was u derstood early in the campaign, ai every effort waa made to counteract There are fow Liberal Republicans the State, and if an unobjectionable m had been placed in nomination for t Governorship, the Republicans wot sweep the State by 30,000 majority. There seems to be no doubt, however, of Hartranf t's elootion, end in pool sales he is the ohoioe by 100 to 80. Even bets are made that he will have 10,000 majori? ty in the State. Baokalew is ezpeoted to come to the city with 5,000 majority, and Hartranft, it is said, will carry thia city by 15,000 majority. Some put it as high OB 17,000, and none lower than 10,000. These are theoalcalations of the Repub? lican. Committee. The Democrats, on the other hand, claim that Buckalow will come to the city with 20,000, and that the city will not give Haatranft over 10,000 majority-thus cleating Baokalew by 10,000. The indications are that the Republican estimate is the correct one, and betting men are using it as their basis of operations. The total registra? tion in the city is 162,000-an increase of 30,000 over last year, when the State ticket had 12,000 majority in the city. The Democrats have been demoralized in the city, and have aimed all their ef? forts to the State. The Republicans have taken advantage ot this, and their work will certainly make Hartranft suc? cessful. That the Democraoy have co? lonized a large number of meu from Baltimore and New York in many dis? tricts, there is no doubt. The Republi? cans, however, have organized a strong detective force, whioh has been sent to watoh and prevent sporting men from voting. Sporting men from all over the country are here, with John Morrissey and John Chamberlain at their head. There are regular pool sales established, the same as at horse-racing, and it is es? timated that $250,000 will change hands on the result. WASHINGTON, Ootober 7.-The British Commission deoided an important prin? ciple in two oases for tobacco burned at Richmond. The claimants (Scotch mer? chants) alleged themselves the owners of the tobacco in question at the outbreak of the war-that the President, by tho proclamation of blockade, and the Con? gress, by the non-intercourse Aot of June, 1861, prevented their removal of the same-although, nuder the non-in? tercourse Act, the President was permit? ted to license special and limited trade with insurrectionary districts; and, as the claimants alleged, snob licenses were given to those willing to take an active part against the rebellion, in preference to aliens and neutrals. The claimants charged the subs?quent destruction aad loss of their tobacco to this preventioa of removal by the United States, and claimed the United States liable there? for, on demurrer, to the memorialists. The commission deoided against tho claims-holding, in effect, the proclama? tion of blockade, the non-intercourse Act, and the praotice of the United States, nuder them, lawful acts of war, within the law of nations. If this claim could have been sustained, the United States would be made liable for an im? mense amount of property ia the South, owned by aliens at the outbreak of the war. The Southern Claims Commission commenced its sessions to-day. Probabilities-Orer Michigan and the lower lakes, Northerly to Westerly winds, increasing pressure, cooler and clearing weather, extending by Wednesday to the entire Ohio Valley and over the Middle States; for New England, Southerly to Westerly winds, threatening weather and raia to-night, clearing on Tuesday; from Tennessee Southward to the Gulf aad South Atlantic coasts, continued cloudi? ness to-night, with Northerly to Wester? ly winds and occasional rain ou the const. There are some indications of a storm iu the Eastern Gulf. For the Mississippi Valley and Eastward to Ohio and North? ern Georgia, clear, cleariug and cooler weather, with prevailing Northerly winds, generally veering to Southerly on Tuesday. CHARLESTON, Ootober 7.-Arrived Steamships Tyne, Philadelphia; Charles? ton, New York; J. W. Evermaa, Phila? delphia; Sea Gull, Baltimore. The following communication address? ed to tho New Orleans Picayune will prove interesting to cotton planters whose crops have been destroyed-by the caterpillar, as it suggests a mode of ex? terminating them. The writer says: "During a long residence iu Central America the writer has noticed tho habits of a very diminutive ant called the terrier ant. No insect will approach its habitation. It is perfectly harmless to vegetation, and will not permit any insect, or even animal, to encroach upou their premises under penalty of death. They do not build nests like other ants, but live anywhere, where there is not a denso tropical shade. Tho writer is per? fectly convinced that if they can bo im? ported into tho ootton regions of the United States, and will stand the olimate, the ootton and even tho boll worm will beoome a thing of the past. From many experiments in the destruction of insect life, the writer forms his opinion, whioh can be corroborated by friends in Central America, should any one inte? rested in the ootton plant choose to write. The first occasion that the writer had to test the destructive attacks of the terrier ant oa iuseot life was when stuog by a stinging scorpion contained in the sleeve of his coat-an inseot very tena? cious of life, yet in less than three mi? nutes after it was given to tho ants it was dead. A centipede, oovered with a hard armor, suffered the same fate in four min?tes and a few seconds. A tarantula' died in less than two minutes. A snake nine feet long in fifteen miaates. There are numerous other experiments made by the writer, whioh he could give, but deems unnecessary. Tho natives ia Cen? tral America transport the ants from placo to place by putting a little sugar ia a bottle or calbore, (gourd,) and wheu full transport them safely." W. F. Kirsey, a Georgia man, lately lost two grown-up ohildren within five minutes of each other. An undo who came to superintend the burial services was fatally injured by bis mules running away, and a short time before a son had been made blind by an accident. kTln?nel?l ?ntl Commercial?

A CLEROTMAN IMPRISONED FOR AN ABUSIVE SERMON.-A German paper states that tho Rev. Von Felstow, a Dantzio minister, has been condemned to a mouth's imprisonment in a Prussian fortress, for having, on the 21st of Janu? ary last, in tho oourse of a sermon, used opprobrious epithets against tho Jews. The court deoided that such expressions were entirely at variance with tho cha? racter and position of a minister of reli? gion, and that fanaticism would not be tolerated in a country in which nil citi? zens, irrespective of creed, were equal bofore tho law. If this law were in force in England and tho United States, we fear that the jails of tho country would be filled with victims. During the past three months, 54,000 emigrants sailed from Liverpool for America. THE SIGNS.-AU over the country, the Illiberal press presents cheering evi? dences of a revival of the "Greeley craze." The Missouri Republican bas the following ringing article on tho sub? ject: lt is very clear that the opposition cause is recovering from the unmeasura? ble depression which overtook it just after the Yermout and Maino eleotions. A re-aotion of popular sentiment in favor of it has set in; tho traces and evidences of it are to be seen everywhere. Noue perceive it so clearly as the alarmed Ad? ministration partisans. They admit it without intending to do BO. .Greeley's BpeeohePjKI/urtin's letter and ex-Governor Seymour's declaration for the Liberal ticket have had, and are stilt having, marked effect on public sentiment; and the shock which the startling Credit Mobilier exposures caused bas benumbed the Administration party, and caused v. perceptible withdrawal of popular confi? dence from it. Tho Administration or? gans have suddenly dropped their voices to a lower key. All that they have to claim in Pennsylvania is that Grant will carry it iu November, which is tanta? mount to a confession that their candi? date for Governor, Hartranft, will not carry it in October. The Boanerges of the Administration, Senator Morton, is sweating in agony iu Indiana. He has ceased to asBail, and is now fighting in self defence. The President's Cabinet have broken down under the whip and spur with whioh their master rode them. Their appearance in the field as solicitors of votes for the President showed tho people what mediocrities they are, and excited a sort of dull disgust at a cause that could take the highest and gravest officials of the Government away from their duties at Washington, and put them to making partisan speeches to negro audiences in North Carolina. In Illinois, in Iudiaua, in Pennsylvania and in Ohio, the united Democrats and Libe? rals aro making a strong, spirited and BUCoesBful canvass. They are appealing to audiences which never fail to exhibit sympathy for the cause they advocate; and the symptoms of popular ohauges in favor of Horace Greeley are so mani? fest that the allies claim that they will carry all theso great Statee, even includ? ing Ohio, whioh they scarcely thought of churning throe weeks ago. The Administration party are openly buying votes and importing negroes, to resist this rising tide of popular feeling against them; but it will be of no avail. Their cause is on the decline, and the allies are advancing their standards every day. Tho triumph of Hendricks and Buckalow in Ootober, to be followed by the triumph of Greeley in November, is what the signs of the times indicate at present. A WESTERN TORNADO-AN ARKANSAS TOWN ALMOST DESTROYED.-The mail brings reports of an unusual number of accidents from the recent storm on the lake*? aud in the Mississippi Valley. The following special despatch to the Missou? ri Republican gives a startling account of tho gale in Arkansas, on the 29th ult.: The steamer Julia, that came down last uight, reports a terrific tornado as having occurred ninety miles above here, yester? day afternoon, at Osceola, Arkansas. The storm struck the town, contaiuiug perhaps 300 houses, about 1 o'clock, coming from the South-west, and before tho oitizous could realize its extent, or before they could even get to their doors, it had burst upon thom with unprece? dented fury aud violence, sweeping be? fore it houses, trees, cattle, fences and everything movable. Trees were carried by tho winds like straws; cattle, horses and males were blown about the streets, and, becoming wild with fright, ran hel i tor skelter iu all directions, and the air was literally thick with fragments of every imaginable thing. The cotton fields were completely riddled, the stalks torn up by the roots and the lint blown from tho bolls. Fences wer* torn into kindling-wood, houses taken up and car? ried eutirely from their foundations, and roofs and parts of roofs were whirling in the air like autumn leaves, and in lesa time than it has taken to writo it, the town, once a beautiful place, was a muss of ruins. Three ohurches and six school? houses wore biowu down in a moment, I and many of tho heaviest timbers carried entirely away, and nearly every dwelling house in Once?la and its immediate vici? nity was either blown down or unroofed. The mills and cotton-gin belonging to Mr. EilditiB, near towu, were torn to fragmouts, and hardly a vestige left of the buildings to mark the spot whore they stood. lu all, eighteeu persons were killed or badly wounded. Throe, two men and a woman, are known to have been killed outright, and others will die of their injuries. Afterspending its force, the tornado orossed the river mid went direotly up stream ton miles, twisting large forest trees up by the roots aud throwing somo iuto tho river, while others, uot so large, were oarried high in tho air and lodged in tho branches of larger ones. Its course is marked now by a barren waste ou both sides of the river, entire cotton fields having been luid level with the earth, and all buildings ia its course razed to the ground. When it left tho river it took a North-easterly direction, swooping every? thing in ita course. Fortunately, tho steamer Julia barely missed it. Had she been in its course, the fate of hor pas? sengers would inevitably have beeu deuth, and tho boat would have capsized and went to tho bottom. A rough estimato of tho loss to tho town of Osceola places it ut $200,000. Tho departures from Alsace and Lor? raine of inhabitants who decline to as? sume German citizenship are upon au immense scale. It is estimated that 88,000 emigrating Alsatians will tako up their residence in Naucy alone, while large numbers will go to other places. 18,000 persons loft Metz the last fort? night, to seek homes under Freaoh juris? diction. Tho population of that cityt [now numbers only 10,000 persons. ID the Circuit Court, the following Supervisors of Election were appointed: lt CPU uni? A NS FOB SPABTANBOBG.-J. O.

The St. Louis Democrat thus describes the scene at the conclusion of Satanta's speech at the recent Indian ooancil: When Satanta concluded, there followed a scene not easily described. Big Tree clasped Captain Alvon! in his arms and squeezed him like a bear. Satanta shook hands with the whites, and then passed aronnd and shook the hand of each of the Indian men, taking no notice of five or six squaws sitting by themselves OD the South side. When he came to the mon of his own tribe he embraced each of them, kissing them on the oheek, while the tears streamed from their eyes. He shed no tears himself, however, al? though his feelings were deeply moved. His sister threw her arms about his neck and kissed him many times. When be came to Ten Bears he placed his hand fondly on the old man's face, and uttered words that brought the moisture into the veteran's eyes. Big Tree had three brothers present. These and all the men of his tribe he embraced, and point- ' ing to the Son of the Sun and two others, said to one of the whites: "My brotherl my brotherl" The pale faces who witnessed these demonstrations of affection on the part of the red men of tho forest, were deeply impressed. Their ideas of Indian stoicism, as de? rived from Fenimore Cooper and other romaneo writers, were dissipated, and they saw that the Indian has a heart as well as tho white brother. NEW CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT-A SUBSTI? TUTE FOP. TUE Ku KLUX ORDER.-It is understood that the report alluded to in the following Washington special to the New York Post, is to be used as a cam? paign document: "The officers who were Bent to the Southern States by the Department of Justioe to examine into tho condition of affairs, and to detect any organized at? tempt to violate the revenue laws and Enforcement Act, have submitted volu? minous reports to the Attorney-General. From these it appears that the Ku Klux order is giving away to a new organiza? tion, similar to the former in many re Hpeots, but having a different mode of accomplishing the same ends. This new organization is spreading rapidly through all the Southern States, and is intended to be made very effectual for Greeley during tho present campaign hy intimidating voters in localities whore tho Republican element is not in the as? cendant. The order has established lodges in nearly every County in Missis? sippi, Alabama and Georgia, and is rapidly extending itself to other States. Several officers of the Government suc? ceeded in gotting initiated into the order, and observed fully its workings. They are, therefore, enabled to take stops to prevent its plans from beiog successfully carried out." --^..-^ The New Orleans and Carroll ton Rail? road Company are running their oars by a novel motivo power, whioh the Pica? yune says is obtained by means of the suppression of steam in water, the steam being taken from a stationary boiler at the depot, only throe or four minnies being consumed in charging, thus doing away with tho fire to keep up pressure.) | FOUND DEAD.-Mrs. Eliza Shea, an I aged lady, living in King, near Quern street, was fonud dead in her bed at 7 o'clock, yesterday morning.
