New YORK, Aug. l2-The Herald's
Washington special says long Cabinet
session was held to-day, and report says
rather stormy one. The Presidents re-
construction policy is understood to have
been discussed in all its length and
breadth, and his determination to adhere
to it, and to carry it out regardless of OPP
position or consequences emphatically
announced.
The Times Washington special says
Robert Ridgeway, of the Richmond
Wing, and John s. Barbour, President Of
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, to-
day announced themselves candidates
for Congress from Virginia
Since August lst, there have been mus
tered out of the service 6O regiments and
batteries, including an aggregate of over
81, ,00C men.
The receipts of Internal Revenue to-
day amounted to 0,599,5O9.
The Railroads in Virginia are rapidly
approaching completion, and will shortly
all be in running order. The cars will
run to Lynchburg from Alexandria on
Monday, and the Richmond and Aqua
Creek roads will connect ut Fredericks-
burg in few days, thus doing away
with the present staging of 10 miles
Steps are being taken to reopen the Ma
nassas Gap road to Front Royal and
Strasburg. The unfinished Loudon and
Hampshire road will be pushed to COM
pletion at an early day.
The Herald's special says Mr. Greer, OF
the original South Carolina delegation,
is in the city, and reports affairs progress
ing in that State to the perfect satisfac-
ton of every one. Governor Perry has
been well received by the people of that
State, and Mr.. Greer knew nothing of
the reported collision between the civil
aud military authorti 8 until he read it
in the radical papers at the North. He
pronounces it a fabrication throughout.
Brigadier General j. 5. Fullerton, OF
the Freedmen's Bureau. returned to this
city last evening from u tour OF observa-
tion in eastern Florida and central Geor'
gia. The trip occupied about four weeks
and was productive of much and valua-
BILE insight to the operation of the sys.
tenn adopted by the bureau for the devel-
opment of the Freedmen From q close
observation throughout the States allu
ded to, General Fullerton is inclined to
believe that the number of whites and
blacks who receive Government rations
is about equal Railroads and other ia
cilities for travel are rapidly being re-
stored to working order in Florida and
Georgia, and in passing through the
country there is no danger whatever to
be apprehended The cereal crops are
represented to be looking very promising,
and so abundant as to put all fears of
scarcity of breadstuffs in those States at
rest.
General r. B. Van Valkenburg, eX-Con-
gresham from the State of New York, is
in the city. 1t is understood that the
General will act as Commissioner of the
Indian Bureau in the absence of Judge
Cooley, the incumbent, who starts with
the Indian delegation on the 18th for
Fort Smith, to be absent about two
months. A telegram was received at the
Bureau to-day from Senators Lane and
Pomeroy, of Kansas, asking the agents
of the Indian tribes of that State he al
lowed to be present at the council in ques-
tion, as those tribes are desirous of locat-
ing themselves upon new grounds This
privilege was granted.
Gov Morton, of Indiana, arrived in
the city to-day, and is understood to be
here to urge the retention of Mr., Halo
way as Chief of the Patent Bureau
The appointment of Mr. Theaker grows
more improbable from day to day, until
but little likelihood now remains of his
receiving the appointment. Should Hal
loway be removed the place would be
claimed for the State. Halioway is un-
derstood to have been forced Ito tender
ing his resignation to Secretary Harlan,
If championed by Gov, Morton his fight
for the position may become formidable.
The Railroad to Lyuchburg will be-
opened for travel on next Monday, under
the superintendent of VIM McCatferty,
Superintendent of the Orange and Alex
49,
