These, it is thought, mnst continue to advance till the point 
is reached at which fine foreign wool may be imported and 
sold In competition with the domestic article. At the pres¬ 
ent rate of consumption this is likely to happen, especially 
as the supply of domestic staple has mostly passed out of the 
hands of growers, and is now controlled by strong holders, 
who are bent on realizing a handsome profit." 
Wheat and Flour,—T he receipts of wheat and flour at 
the east during the past week have been large, and prices 
have declined. There is an active demand for the low grades 
for shipment. 
The Pork market is quiet. Holders at the east are rather 
anxious to realize, as the prospect of the next hog crop is 
good. 
Cotton declined folly one cent the last week. The reports 
from the South are unfavorable in regard to the crop.—but 
receipts at Southern ports are increasing. 
Local Market-— The local trade last week presented no 
new or marked features. In flour there is no quotable 
change. P.ed wheat, Bye and Oats receded a little, while 
Barley and Corn Bhowed an advance. The tendency Of the 
former seems strongly npward. Beane have also advanced 
a shade. 
Dressed Hogs are in small supply, and consequently rule 
comparatively high. Lard still tends npward. Cheeseshows 
a slight decline. 
Fruits, green and dried, are coming In quite freely, and 
are selling readily at quotations. 
Wool—T he wool clip has been pretty well cleaned up. 
Press Banquet.— A complimentary Banquet to 
the Press of Rochester was given on Saturday even¬ 
ing, at the Globe Hotel, corner of Lake Avenue and 
the Ridge Road. This is a model suburban house, 
neatly fitted up, cleanly kept, and presided over by 
Mr. D. H. Hanchbtt, one of those genial, whole- 
souled gentlemen who seem especially adapted to 
hotel keeping. He made all his euests completely 
at home on this occasion, and served up an elegant 
repast, to which we, together with our fellow scrib¬ 
blers, did all the justice possible, considering our 
limited “ space.” As editors are proverbially mod¬ 
est it is probable that the many good things said 
when a complete “proof” of the whole bill of fare 
had been “taken” and the “feast of reason and 
the flow of soul” commenced, will never be re¬ 
ported to tbe public. 
From tlie West, 
Col. Forsyth’s command of fifty men, which 
had been scouring the country towards the head 
waters of the Republican river, were surrounded by 
700 Indians, on tbe 17th ult., while in camp on the 
Dry Fork Republican, about ninety miles from Fort 
Wallace, who opened a steady fire upon them. 
Throughout much of the day the beleaguered force 
was subjected to a galling fire, when the Indians 
made a desperate charge on the camp, but were re¬ 
pulsed. They, however, kept up the fight until 11 
o’clock, at which time the scouts left for Fort Wal¬ 
lace to obtain assistance. They were obliged to 
crawl two miles on their hands and knees through 
the Indians to get out. Col. Forsyth was badly 
wounded, Lieut. Beecher shot in several places, Dr. 
Moore shot in the head, two men killed and twenty 
wounded. All the stock of the command was killed, 
and their only subsistence was horse and mule meat, 
when the scouts left. A party of 100 men was sent 
to their relief from tbe Fort. 
Barkerville, British Columbia, was destroyed by 
fire on the 16th or September. The losses are esti¬ 
mated at a million of dollars. The safes of the

from Oswego to Middletown, on the Erie Railroad 
near the New Jersey State line, will sooo be under

co., and the Company expect to have the road from 
Oswego to Sidney Plains, the junction with the 
Albany and Susquehanna road, in running order 
next fall, and the whole line from Oswego to New 
York completed within two years. 
A sad accident occurred near Painted Post, on the 
Erie Railway, on the 22d ult. The funeral proces¬ 
sion of a Mr6. Carr was crossing the track, when an 
express train came along. Mr. Carr’s horse baulked 
just on the track, his child and a sister of the de¬ 
ceased were thrown out and killed. Mr. Carr 
escaped uninjured. 
Three convicts at the 8ing Sing Stale prison, 
seized a powder boat, after overpowering theguard, 
and, locking them in the hold, started across the 
river with the vessel, and landed at thefoot of Rock¬ 
land Mountain and escaped. 
A fireman on the locomotive “ Arctic,’ at Pough¬ 
keepsie, got drunk recently, aud in the absence of 
the engineer, mounted the engine, opened the 
throttle and sped away with the locomotive, causing 
the greatest consternation among the witnesses of 
the scene. Orders were telegraphed to tear up the 
track in advance of the engine, lest the lives of hun¬ 
dreds of passengers Bhonld be endangered, but before 
this could be accomplished the engine was stopped 
by the overflow of water from tbe boiler upon tbe 
fires, extinguishing them. It appears tbe- pumps 
were both at work filling tbe boiler, and tbe drunken 
fireman was unaware of the fact until the engine 
stopped for want of motive power. His mad race 
continued twelve miles, but happily the apprehen¬ 
sions of disaster were not fulfilled. 
The deaths in New York city last week num¬

location. It is understood that arrangements have 
been made with capitalists under which the work is 
to be commenced at once.

The BeBsion of Congress la6t week was merely 
a nominal one. No legislative business was trans¬ 
acted. Both Houses agreed to adjourn until the 
regular session in December, unless it 6houid be 
deemed best to convene at certain specified times 
in the interim. 
A defalcation to the extent of $47,000 has been 
discovered in the Post Office Department. One 
Olmstead, disbursing officer of the Department, is 
the defaulter. He has absconded. Col. Wm. Bell, 
late a special agent of the Treasury Department, 
has been appointed to Bucceed him. 
Surratt has finally been discharged from custody. 
After much time spent hy the Court in quibbling 
over various legal technicalities, Judge Wylie last 
week discharged the prisoner on tbe ground that 
the present indictment against him was not found 
until more than two years after the alleged offence 
had been committed. According to the statnte he 
could not be prosecuted upon the indictment after 
that time. This decision wa6 appealed from by the 
District Attorney. 
DiBp&tches say that the alleged frauds in the In¬ 
ternal Revenue are to be thoroughly sifted. The 
truth is to be eliminated, no matter how exalted 
the public officer may be who shall be implicated. 
Judge Fullerton, it is said, has in his possession an 
extensive budget of documentary evidence, as well 
as the clues to a large number of interesting wit¬ 
nesses. 
Robert H. Lincoln, 60 n of the late President, was 
married on the 24th ult. to Nellie Harlan, only 
daughter of Senator Harlan, at the residence of Mr. 
Harlan, by Bishop Simpson. 
The total receipts of customs from Sept. 14tn to 
19th, inclusive, were $3,611,002. 
The Internal Revenue receipts for last week 
amounted to $8,136,766. 
The Twenty-ninth regiment of United States 
Infantry, numbering over 800 men, has left here for 
Nashville direct, via Knoxville and Chattanooga. 
On reaching Nashville they will be distributed to 
other points in Tennessee in view of the approach¬ 
ing election. 
It is now ascertained that the trial of Jeff. Davis 
will surely be begun at the next term of the United 
States Court in Richmond. Attorney General Eyarts 
is about to move in the matter. Be is the chief 
counsel for the prosecution, and in his present offi¬ 
cial position will be able to push things. His 
friends say that having acquitted one President, he 
is very ambitions to convict one; and, for that rea¬ 
son, will hurry the trial. 
The Postmaster General has ordered that from 
the first bay of January next the registration fee on 
all letters registered in and addressed to any part of 
the United States shall be 15 instead of 25 cents, the 
same to he in all cases fully prepaid in postage 
stamps affixed to the letter aud cancelled. The 
present rate will continue nnlil New Year’s day. 
The Hon. Caleb Cushing having resigned his ap¬ 
pointment as Commissioner to codify the laws of 
the United States, Mr. Simon E. Johnson has been 
selected by the President in his stead. 
The question of the appointment of the remain¬ 
ing twenty-four Supervisors of Internal Revenue, 
seems to be no nearer solution than it was two 
months ago. The Secretary of the Treasury and 
Commissioner Rollins have held almost daily con¬ 
sultations, and yet the subject is still in uncertainty.

News from Spain is important. The resigna¬ 
tions of Gonzales, Bravo and the members of the 
cabinet have been accepted. A body of rebels 14,000 
6troughave gathered near Valladolid to intercept 
the Queen and prevent her from returning to Madrid. 
The whole of Andalusia iB in the hands of the re¬ 
volutionists, for whom the people of the Provinces 
of Coruna, Lugo, Pontevedra, Murcia, Albacete, 
Hnesca, Laragoza and Toruel, have pronounced. 
The insurgents have issued a proclamation which 
says that when they are victorious their future 
course relative to the government of the country 
will be decided by universal suffrage, They are re¬ 
ported to have attacked Madrid, which ie defended 
by barricades, but no particulars have been received. 
Their forces are estimated as numbering fourteen 
thousand soldiers with five thousand sailors, serving 
in eleven ships of war, and the revolt makes progress 
at all points. The Government at Madrid has de¬ 
clared ail Spain in a 6tate of siege, and has formed 
the army into three great military divisions, com¬ 
prising the Districts of Catalonia, Castile and Anda¬ 
lusia, placed under the command of Generals 
Pezenla, Manuel Concha, and Novalischez. Queen 
Isabella has signified her willingness to abdicate if 
the revolutionists will accept the young Prince of 
Asturias as their King, she to act a6 regent until he 
attains his majority. The revolutionists however, 
have refused any compromise, and demand the ex¬ 
pulsion of the Bourbons and the establishment of a 
constituent assembly and a provisional government. 
Telegrams to the journals in Paris confirm the 
news of the rising in the south of Italy. The Tc/nps 
fears that the Italians desire the overthrow of the 
lnonarchy.under Victor Emanuel. The Gaidais as¬ 
serts that Francis II, the ex King of Sicily, is the 
prime instigator of the movement, and that the reb¬ 
els ar<fmerely acting under the pretence of republi¬ 
can principles. 
On the 10th of August 158 native Christians were 
put on board a steamer at Nagaskai, Japan, taken 
out to sea and drowned. At last accounts fifty more, 
chiefly women, were awaiting the same fate.

In local mon^y matters there has been no special change

In New Yorkjthere is a good supply of money, and rates of 
Interest are lod. The Post BaysThere is less disposition 
to loan under live per cent., which is the established rate at 
tlie hanks and trust companies. The flow of currency to the 
West during t$elast week has been hut little in excess of 
the receipts. $he quarterly statement of the hanks being 
near at hand, ike line of discounts is much restricted.' 
Government ponds are steady, though the market for some 
days has not naan active. There is an advance in the foreign 
markets, 
Gold has been excited and qnite feverish during the week. 
The break wudfrom 144 to about 141 at the close of last week. 
A New York japer of Saturday says :— *' Tlie sales of gold 
liy the Treasiry Department are especially assigned as a 
reason for thi decline, hut these have been too small In 
amount to have exerted any perceptible influence on the 
price. We ha^etho best authority for ere ting that they will

to send out Iris seedling potatoes for testing before Introduc¬
