Naval Intelligence,

The United States ship Wando is offered
for sale at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the
third time. She was reported sold to G. W.
Trundy, on the 25th of October, at S21, 800,
but for some reason, of which we have not
been informed, she is again in the hands OF
the Government The Wando is an iron side
wheel steamer of 645 tons burthen. 226 feet in
length and 26 feet in breadth. She was for
merly the notorious blockade-runner '.Let-
her Rip but was captured by the Fort Jack
son in November, 1864. She was purchased
from the captors by the Government, and has
been attached to the South Atlantic Blockad-
ing Squadron. 1t is rather strange that such
a fine vessel as this does not command higher
bids, as her engines are said to be worth over
100000.
The order issued by the Navy Department,
August %, 1865, to the effect that ''all men
having less than eighteen months to serve
| were to be discharged without any reference
| to bounty received has been countermanded
| The reason for this step is said to be that the
Department considers the naval force suf:
| ficiently reduced.
The receiving ship Vermont, at the Brook
| lyn Navy Yard, presents a very marked con
| trast with its appearance one year ago. Al
| that time the recruits were pouring in so fas
that it was difficult task to provide the neces
| Sary accommodation Tor them, Notwithstanding
| the fact that the North Carolina was also re
| ceiving large number of men daily. Now
| the recruits are, comparatively speaking, few
and far between, and the ship is almost empty
Since May 3Oth, ffty-seven vessels have
been sold at public auction at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The total amount of money re-
ceived at these sales is S1,372, 800, being more
than double the amount received at any Other
navy yard.
1t is rumored that Captain T. P. McKinstry
late commander of the receiving ship North
Carolina, will be ordered to the Brooklyn
| Navy Yard for duty.

Message of the Governor of Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. l4.-The Cover
nor's message was delivered to the Legislature
to day. 1t pertains mostly to State affairs;
recommends prompt provision for the pay
ment Of the public debt, the establishment oi
home for disabled Indiana soldiers and sea-
men, a-bureau of emigration, separate schools
for colored children. and the repeal Of the
statute excluding negro testimony in the
courts. He pays tribute to the Indiana sol
diers, and advises that although the heresy OF
State sovereignty is extirpated, the questions
involved in the arbitrament of arms must be
adjudicated and determined by the highest
judicial tribunal in the trial of Jeff. Davis for
treason and other atrocious crimes.
He approves the Presidents reconstruction
policy. He also advocates representation ac-
cording to the number of voters, and the adop-
ton Of such an amendment, if it passes Con-

State, and may possibly give them a severe
rebuke.

The GUNNERs HARvEsT.-It is said that
there never were so many ducks at any season
on the Delaware as at present, and never were
there so few sportsmen cunning after them.-
At Atlantic City the birds are very thick, and
quite number of sportsmen have been bag
glng large numbers recently. Partridges are
said to be scarce in places where they are
mostly to be found at this season. Last winter
was so excessively cold, and continued so
long, that many of this feathered tribe per-
ished in the snow Robins are not considered
game. They are singular bird. They go to
extremes. They are either very tame or very
wild. At present they may be found among
cedars, gum berries, or wild grapes. Poke
berries, which robins enjoy as a luxury, are
gone, the recent heavy frost having efectually
done its work among them. Robins come in
Aocks at this season Of the year, and afford
much sport tor amateur guansss,

The cat has not been heard from since, but a

Notwithstanding the large space which the

by no means equal to the alarm that was felt.
Of this alarm butchers and others have taken

HIS WEALTH A CURSE.-Mr. Benjamin W.

age, and quite wealthy, his resources probably
amounting to S175, 900, and his yearly income
about $4,000. Notwithstanding this, he has
for some months past seemed to be in state
of mental arrangement and had constant
fear of poverty. His mind has been in
a troubled, worried state, so that his
physicians have told him that he must
travel or 90 to the Retreat. He has
refused to travel because he could not
afford it. He has been harsh and ty-
rannical in his family for some years,
and has upbraided his wife and daugh-
ters, for what he called their extravaganza
though they simply lived In style be6t-
ting his means and their social position. He
has wanted to sell his fine house saying he
could not afford to live in it. His wife has
told him that if it was true that they were poor
she would consent to the sale of the house,
but it was not true, and she and other friends
have tried to dispel the poverty monomania
with which he has been afflicted. In fact,
though worried with the fear of poverty, he
has every year added considerably to his large
fortune. To all efforts of his friends to in
duce him to travel, he replied that he was too

AN AMERICAN Consul IN LucK.-The Hong

says that Mr.. c. Lee Moses, the new American
Consul at Borneo formerly shipmaster in

twenty years of twenty-four hundred miles of
the richest territory in Borneo, together with
the islands Of Balabac and Palawau. Both
islands are occupied by the Spanish under
tribute to Borneo, which is now changed to
tribute to Moses. The coal mines of Amburg,
also the pearl fisheries, are included in the
contract. The fine rattan marsh fields, Marco.
doc and Petan, are also his. Gutta percha
and rubber of first class East India quality are
in his forests. The Chinese are anxious for
the birds nests, camphor and betel, and the
Borneo Company wish it so as to extend their
business farther. But the consul has shown a
determination to keep his trade in American
hands only. He is also Rajah by title of
popularity His property cost him only
