The RoBBERY OF GOVERNMENT Gold
The N. Y. Herald gives the following partic-
ulars in regard to the late robbery of govern
ment gold, in charge of the American Ex-
press Co.:
alt appears that this company are constant
ly receiving from the various government land
offices out West, sums of money of different
amounts, which on their arrival in this city
are Immediately delivered at the United States
Sub-Treasury. Two boxes, which it is be-
lieved contained coin to the amount Of $780,
600 in each, were received on Friday morn
ing from Dubuque, Iowa, directed to the Sub
Treasury. They were in apparent good or
der, sealed and iron hound, but as one of the
lids was a little loose, it attracted the atten-
ton of the receiving clerk.
On shaking the box, his suspicious were
Immediately aroused. Instead of the light
jingle of gold, it's contents had the dull, heavy
sound of lead. Before opening the box,
however, he informed the President, Mr..
Henry Wells, who directed it to be immedi-
ately delivered at the SUBJ Treasury, and who
went there himself to witness its examina-
ton. Several of the officers were called in
and in their presence the seal was broken and
the lid raised, when, instead of 1926 900 in
gold coin, 1t was found to contain one hun
dred and seventy-fiye pounds of rifle bullets
and twenty-six pounds of sheet lead. The
other box was opened, and the same amount
of lead discovered in it. The Chief of Po
lice was Immediately sent for, and the matter
placed in his hands. No clue could be OBJ
tanned as to where the robbery was commit
ted. But from the extensive arrangements
which have been made by the Chief, the per-
petrators cannot long elude detection. Two
police officers were dispatched to Dubuque,
and others were also sent from Buffalo to the
same place, while the police of the several
towns and villages for several hundred miles
around have been informed of the particu-

ANOTHER CRUSADE AGAINST GEN. ScoTr.-
Washington, Sept. 21.-It has leaked out here
that the War Department is engaged in
sharp and bitter controversy with General
Scott, and that developments may be expected
at the opening of Congress, which will put
the famous Marcy and Scott contest entirely
in the background.
The affair is only remotely connected with
the question of allowing the General back
pay, under the act of Congress authorizing
the appointment of Lieutenant General
though it undoubtedly has bearing upon it.
Mr.. Gushing has given the President a verv
elaborate opinion upon the legal question of
the Generals title to back pay under the act
which is understood to be against it. No
action on this matter, however, has been tax
en-. The controversy referred to grows out of
another matter.
Ii seems that some months since, General
Scott gave General Hitchcock, who has long
been an intimate peasonal friend, leave of alb
sence for six months. The Secretary of War
Immediately wrote to Gen. Scott, demanding
his reasons for this act of favoritism, and at
the same time counternlanded the Generals
order granting leave of absence. The Secre-
tarys letter was quite as sharp in its tone as
it was insulting in its tenor.
CSASAoA pSOAb ACpAC0 ludJ ne nau granted
the leave of absence because he had right to
do it, and was convinced of its prophecy
that he was not responsible to the Secretary
of War for his action in such case, and that
he would be obliged to him if he would here
after, in any official communications lie might
have occasion to address him, write in the
name and by the authority of the President
OF the United States-as he was the only Off :
clal superior whom he acknowledged. The
Generals letter was quite as severe as the
Secretary's.
Secretary Davis, in reply entered into very
elaborate and detailed exposition of all the al
legged breaches of order and propriety commit
ted by General Scott during his whole mill
tary carer. HIS letter is very long, and filed
with the seyerost criticism of the General
conduct. 1t is intended to annihilate him
completely in the respect and confidence of
the American people-which may prove to be
more serious undertaking than Secretary Da-
Wis imagines.
The correspondence is already quite volu-
minous, and is not yet closed. Ii will un-
doubtedly be communicated 10 Congress at
the opening Of the present session. Ii not, it
will be called for by a special resolution.
In this matter, as in all others, the Secreta-
ny of War is the autocrat Of the Cabinet He
rules the President as completely as he rules
MS colleagues. 1t was he who brought the
Cabinet to endorse and assume the Nebraska
bill. Marcy was at first violently opposed 10
it, but finally caved in, and electioneered ac-
lively and personally in favor of it with mem
bers of Congress.
In this affair with General Scott, Davis is
equally dominant, and will undoubtedly carry
the whole Cabinet with him. So you may as
well prepare for another crusade against the
war-worn old soldier.-iSpeoiaI Despatch to ~.

GRAND CoNcERT.-We are happy to be able
to announce that OLE BULL, accompanied and
assisted by Signora MANzINI Signor MANz1N1,
and Herr ROTH will give two concerts in wor-
cester, at the City Hall, on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, the 18th and 9th insts.
OLE BULL is now the greatest violinist living
the only artistic upon whose shoulders the man
tie Of PAGININI has fallen. In him, we have
combined all the great qualities of the perfect
dTttste-expression, power, combination, senti-
ment, and SOUL In his execution, there is a
symmetry foreign to other Yiolinists; at one mo-
ment tender, sweet, and sympathetic then rs-
ing to the very summit of grandeur in his art!-
Apollo, with his harp was painted by the ancients
as the tanner of wild men /; but over the rude and
the cultured, Ole Bulls power is alike supreme
and decided. His genius, and command over the
violin, may be felt, but can not be described; and
the manner in which he entrances an audience,
is the most graphic and complete description Of
his wonderful musical powers, that can be given.
Since his last appearance before the .sublic, Ole
Bull has been the victim of base conspiracy,
which nearly ruined him and we notice that he
plays here, for the first time in public, Fanta-
ssa, from Verbs opera, Rigoletto; the melody
of which cost him the moderate sum of twelve
thousand dollars! But the sympathies of the
public are with Mr.. Bull and his talents and
genius will soon render him pecuniariy independ-
ent again.
OF the young and beautiful soprano, Signora
Manzini, we need say here but little. Upon our
citizens she has made, already, deep and favor
able impression. Her voice is exceedingly rich
and melodious, finely cultivated, and possessing
every quality necessary TO render her perfect as
vocalist. We are mistaken if her reception at
Worcester will not be warm and enthusiastic
The Press, wherever he has appeared, bestowed
upon Signor Manzini its highest encomiu-
ms. He is an accomplished baritone. Herr
Roth, the young pianist, we are credibly inform
ed, is master of his art-equally distinguished as
composer and musician. He has been special
ly engaged, in Vienna, by Ole Bull, has but re-
Gently arrived in tn is country, and will make his
first public appearance, in America, in this city,
tomorrow evening He comes here with great
European reputation, He accompanied M'dn,e
De La Grange, and NJ. Vieutsmps, in several of
the principal cities of Europe. That this will
be an unusually brilliant concert, we have every
reason to expect since such rare and e1traor-
binary combination of talent is seldom before tie
public.

The FEVER AT NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH.
Intelligence to Saturday noon, states that the
weather has been exceedinly untavorable, and
nothing can be more appalling than the pros
pect of affairs. Mr.. Ferguson, the President
of the Howard Association, died on Saturday,
and his death has added greatly to the des-
pondency of the people. The physicians say
that the disease has lost none of its malignity.
At Norfolk on Thursday, there were 40 in
terments, and on Friday 2S while 80 orders
for collins had been left with undertakes up
to 10 o'clock, Saturday.
AT Portsmouth on Thursday, there were
% deaths, on Friday, 25, and on Saturday
about 80.
Acting Mayor Holiday was taken to the
hospital Saturday. 1t is estimated that there
are now about 22O0 persons in Portsmouth, of
whom 1000 are either convalescent or still
sick. Acclimated physicians and nurses are
much needed, but the authorities hope no
more will come from the North, who have not
had the fever, otherwise they will only furnish
fresh victims,
