Steamers arriving at New York from Galveston,
bring accounts of terrific three days gale at

terrible hurricane on the 18th inrtant. Four ves-
sells were totally wrecked; of two of them there

peared. It is supposed that she foundered at her
anchorage, and that all who were on board in

They appear to have lively time in the Anti

then started for WARMERS residence, with sk,r-
mishers deployed. All sorts of rumors we're cir
culatcd, snd wage suspicion was entertained
that the force might meet opposition. Along
the route they we're insulted by both men and
women, and were refused a drink OF water.
AS orders were ISSUED not to trespass, the men
did not enter any place to help themselves, but
pressed forward without quenching their thirsts."

two coupons bearing the Same numbers, showing
fraud somewhere. The duplicates appear to have
been printed from the same plate as the genuine.
Whether they are manufactured in New York or
are stolen from the Treasury and afterwards
numbered, is a mystery yet to be solved
