OF the 18th inst, to the New York Tri-
bune, says that the evening before, in
conversation with Gen. Cox, Gen. Grant
and Admiral Farragut declared their
disapproval of the Presidents policy and
commended that of Congress. Both gen.
tlemen said substantially that they were
participants in the Presidents campaign
tour by express instructions, and not
from any inclination on their part. The
conversations were not strictly private,
for several parties were present.

REDUCTION OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS IN
THE ARMY.-The Secretary of War is
reducing the number of volunteer off,
GERS remaining in the service as rapidly
as the exigencies of the army will per-
NIT. Within the present month large
number have been returned to their
lineal rank in the regular army, or have
found their way to civil occupations.
An entirely new method seems to have
been adopted by the War department in
effecting these changes. Instead of pro-
mitigating the muster-out orders by
lists, each officer is now mustered out by
virtue of an extract from War depart
ment special order, having reference to
himself only. By this method the fact
is known to none but the department
and the officer concerned. Like the en-
emy's bullets, these missiles from the
War department speed to their destina-
tions, dealing swift destruction to Off
cial rank and dignity, and without
warning note titles fall in all directions.
Most of the volunteer officers that have
been retained in the service are on duty
in the Freedmen's Bureau. Many of
them have already been honorably dis
charged since the 1st of September, and
a number of Others, it is expected, will
be mustered out by the 1st of October.

Governor concluded his remarks by say
ing that while he was addressing an
audience at a station on the Hudson
River Railroad, he was asked why he
never visited Vermont. This, said he,
was very easily answered. l told the
assemblage that the reason | had never
visited your State was that Vermont
was all right; she needed no instruc-
tion; she never sought for strange gods
she was the only State in the Union that
had never voted the Democratic ticket.

-" The city council Of Baltimore has
refused to take part in the reception Of

the ex-rebel office-holders whom Mr..

this censure? By this time the Presi-
dent must deeply regret that he ever at

ANOTHER REBEL MAssAcRE.-The fol-
lowing account of a massacre of Union
men at Platte City, Mo-, we take from
a special dispatch in the New York Tri-
bune. The murder appears to have been
as deliberately planned as was the one
at New Orleans, and is but another out
burst of the feeling existing among the
rebels of the South, in whose hands "my
policy" would again place the reins of
government:
A bloody and fearful tragedy occurred
at Platte City, Mo-, on Saturday last.
The radical convention assembled at the
church in Platte City on that day. There
were about 100 men, including visiting
delegations. The convention put in
nomination full ticket, and adjourned
about o'clock p. m. Just before ad-
journment the rebels brought band of
music upon the street, which PLAYED
"Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flag" &C.,
and soon gathered about them large
crowd of armed men. A Union man,
Thomas Dunnigan, being very noisy up
on the street, the sheriff went to him
and was in the act of quieting him, when
a constable named Callahan of notorious
rebel record, came up with q posse of
men and pointed out Dunnigan, who
stood beside the sheriff, saying: "There
he is-take him." or words to that effect,
Immediately the rebels, who had assem-
bled to the number of four hundred.
commenced firing upon every Union man
upon the street.
Four were instantly killed and large
number wounded. The bushwackers
drove the Union men out of the town,
and four hundred Rebels now hold [ os-
session OF it. A Mr.. Heath visited
Platte City to get his brothers body, but
was not allowed to take it away. They
gave him a pass to get out of town
through their picket lines. The first
shot was fired by Rebel constable upon
a drunken unarmed Unionist. Members
of the Convention who had left, hearing
the shooting, returned to Platte City, and
while riding through the streets were
fired upon from the windows of houses
and saloons. Many horses were shot
from under the delegates. -Four men
were killed, and II wounded. The extras
caused great excitement here. Gov.
Fletcher has been telegraphed to. He
will be at Weston tomorrow to attend
a mass meeting there. The Unionist
have all been driven to Weston. The
Rebels are all armed and swear no Un-
ionist shall remain in Platte City.

MADAME RIsToRI.-Ristori, the great
actress just arrived at New York, will
appear in Italian, French, German and
English tragedies and in opera, in all the
principal cities of the country. Her re-
putation is equal to Rachel's, and she
has A trunks full of dresses. She is
enthusiastic over the fine appearance of
Broadway, and this is the way an en-
thusiast goes off concerning her fine ap-
pearance
In stature Adelaide Ristori is above
the medium hight, and has a magnificent
face, out of which shines pair OF gloTi-
Gus brown eyes, shaded by long silky
eye-lashes. The outline Of the head is
rather of the seyete Greek type than the

A REVISION OF THE TARIFF.-The fol-
lowing letter of instructions respecting
the tariff has been adressed to the COM
missioner Of revenue by the Secretary of
the Treasury, in regard to the proposed
revision Of the tariff at,the next session
of Congress
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-To Hon. David
A. Wells, United States Commissioner of
Revenue,-Sir In view of the fact that
revision of the tariff is certain to en-
gage the attention of Congress at it's
next session, consider it especially de-
sirable that the treasury department
should be prepared to furnish as much
information pertinent to the subject as
can be obtained and collected within the
limited time available for the necessary
Investigations. You are therefore here
by instructed to give the subject of the
revision OF the tariff especial attention,
and to report bill which, if approved
by Congress, will be substitute for all
the acts imposing customs duties, and
which will render the administration of
this branch of the revenue system more
simple, economical ond effective. In the
discharge of this duty, you will consider
the necessity of providing for large,
certain and permanent revenue, keeping
in view the fact that the existing tariff
has proved most effective in this direc-
ton.
You will therefore endeavor, first, to
accrue for the government q revenue
commensurate with its necessities, and,
secondly, to propose sdch notifications
of the tariff laws now in force, as will
better adjust and eqnalize the duties
upon foreign imports with the internal
taxes upon home productions. If this
last result can be obtained without de-
triment to the revenue, by reducing tax
alton upon raw materials and the ma
Chinery of home productions other than
by increasing the rates of imports, it
would, in my opinion, by decreasing the
cost Of production and increasing the
producing power, greatly promote the
interests Of the whole country. In the
prosecution of this work, you are au-
thorized to call upon officers of the rev.
enue for such information as you may
require and they may be able to furnish.
II. McCULLocH,
Secretary of the Treasury.
In carrying out these instructions, Mr..
Wells will have his office at the New
York custom house during October.
