BETHEL sEEvIcEs.-The religious interest
developed by the series of meetings held
the last two or three weeks held in the
Bethel Church, on Water street, is deepen
ing every night and growing stronger and
more intense. Meetings will be held there
four nights this week. Rev. Mr.. Nelce will
preach on this evening. On Thurs
day night a lecture and prayer meeting.
And o n Friday evening Rev. T. II. Hawks,
of the Second Presbyterian Church, will
preach there.
A large number of people frequent this
house of prayer, and they a~re..ehiefy new
corners. For the past few days there has
been a ~sprinkling of sailors, who have just
arrived here to fit up their crafts for the
opening of navigation. There can be no
doubt that these meetings are doing a vast
deal of good, and that the opening Of the
church, after its doors had been closed six
months, was demanded by a very
large class hitherto cut off from the
enjoyment of religious privileges.
One may stand on the brink of the bank
opposite the Bethel Church, and survey the
haunts Of a population of not less than
$4,000 or 10000 souls, very few of whom
are ever found in the uptown churches offs
Sunday. There are certain considerations
which avail to render those churches, for
that class, exclusive and isolated sanctua-
ries. They feel the want of a place of
worship for just such a class as that, of
which, they are conscious, they are men,
bers, and unless such a place offers, they
will forever remain non-partieipsnts and
non-eommunicants. The doors of the
Bethel Church, we are assured viii never
be closed again.

FORTRESS MONROE, September 25.-
The result of the experiment upon the
irOn-clad may be thus stated: Eight
feet thick of stone wall, aud iron clad
with four iuChes of rolled iron, situated
mt distance of $50 yards, offered
scarcely any resistance to the shots
fired by tho l5-inch smooth bore and 12-
inch Rodman guns. The l2.inch Dyer
projectile, weighing go pounds, pos
sesScd greater power upon the plates
than the l5-inch spherical shot, weigh
ing APO pounds, but tho destructive
qualities of the latter upon tho heavy
masonry far exceeded this calculations
OF the officers present. a stronger
target, with an additional thickness of
iron plating will be required before any
definite result can be arrived at re-
speeding the manner Ofbuilding fOrtifi-
cations with the greatest powers of re-
sistance against the improved artillery
of the age.
a close examination made into the
affairs of Mr.. c. c. Flent, proprietor of

Indian Troubles.

FoRT LARAMIE, Sept. 26.-Advices re-
ccivcd today from Fort Philip Kearney
state that the Indians were very trou-
blesome, stealing stock and attacking
small parties. On the 18th they captur.
ed Government herd of mules, and
wounded two of the guard. On the 18th
an artist for Frank Leslie's paper, were
killed and badly mutilated. They at
tempted to capture the pickets near the
Fort, but were driven Off with tho loss
of two killed. Two men OF Bailey's
mining party, while hunting, were
killed after small loss to the Indians.
Reports received from Fort Smith, Da-
kOtah, state there are 500 lodges of Sioux
Indians on Tongue River Valley, all
hostile. They are determined that the

eled. Government stock was stolen at

Tyler, OF Maryland, ono of the counsel
OF Jetf. Davis, Ind an interview with
the Attorney General yesterday in re.
gard TO the trial of Davis. We have not
heard whit tho result OF the interview
wnSi but suppose 1t was IN accordance
with what we learn from the best source
of Information, viz, TINT Judge Under
wood and Chief Justice Chase have
como to the conclusion that because of
the legislation of tho last Congress tho
adjourned court cannot DO held next
month, consequently tho cPSc of Davis
with Nll others was to bo postponed to u
future day.
Tho President to-day mado tho fol-
lowing appointments:
Hugh J. Anderson, of Maine, Audit
or of the Treasury for the POStOilice Do
John J. Humphrey, OF Tennessee,
Agent for the Indians of tho Cherokee
agency.
Chief Engineer Mortimer Kellogg,
United States navy, has been ordered
TO SupCrlntend tho construction of the
Government building ut BridgewRter,
Mass.
Congress mt the late session author
lied the Secretary OF tho Treasury to
sell such of tho revenue cutters rs arc
not adapted for service. The Depart
ment will accordingly soon dispose at
public sale OF six of tho steamers which
wero built i'll manner moro suitable
for war thNn for civil service. There
will then remain nineteen revenue cut
ter steamers, six of which are on the
lakes, and nine sailing cutters. The
number OF tho latter is 10 be increased
by eight, proposals for the building of
which have been invited.
Sailing vessels arc to bo employed
only where they can render the reGui-
site service, while their use will mate
rally decrease the expenses of tho ser
vice.
Recently delegation of prominent
southern business mon, most of them
cotton fnctOrs and planters, visited
Washington to endevor to obtain IL
modification OF the existing rules and
regulations under which cotton is

in the premises,
