New YoRK, Sept. 3.-The Times spe
cial says: Intelligence has been received
| from Gen. Sheridan to the effect that the
order relieving him from command reached
him Saturday, and that he would turn over
his command to Gen. Griffin as soon as
that officer could arrive from Texas.
The Union men of New Orleans express
the confident belief that Congress will see
| that Gen. Sheridan returns to finish the
work of reconstruction he has so ably
begun. Petitions are already in circulation
urging this upon Congress. 1t is reported
tonight that Gen. Hancock has been grant
ed thirty days delay in proceeding to New
Orleans on account Of the prevalence of
yellow fever Possibly, therefore, Sheri-
dan may after all come to Washington a.
originally instructed by Gen. Grant, as the
Presidents order does not authorize the
departure of Gen. Hancock until relieved
by Gen. Sheridan.
Yellow fever has assumed an epidemic
form in Galveston, Indianola and other
Texan Gulf ports, whilst in New Orleans
it is raging beyond precedent since or
during the war. In Galveston one day last
week there were 500 cases, one-ffth of
which proved fatal, and in New Orleans
the disease bad attacked persons of every
grade of life, generally proving fatal to the
unacclimated, and has been accompanied
by the most malignant and fatal indications
of the terrible vomit
Recent arrivals from that section bring
confirmation that the newspapers there do
not record all of the deaths and confirm
the reports that the majority of Northern
ers who settled there during and since the
war are either dead, sick or fleeing North.
The fact thatthe municipal officers removed
by Sheridan did not provide usual precau-
tionary measures last spring, is given by
well informed persons as the only reason
for the extreme violence of the scourge this
season, as the city is in an extremely filthy
condition.
The Treasury disbursed during August
the large sum of $25,0Q0,000 for public
service, mostly on account of the War and
Interior Departments.
Commissioner Rollins has gone North
for two weeks. All efforts for his removal
will encounter resolute opposition by the
Secretary OF the Treasury, who declares
that there is no possible ground on which
charges against Mr.. Rollins can be based.
The receipts of internal revenue yester-
day was 81, 500839 56. For the month of
August they reached 7,848 05a 20,
against S38, 043, $40 81 for the month of
August last year.
Total receipts for the fiscal year COM
mencing July lst to date are $4,000
600 against $65,00000O for the same
time last year, decrease of 81, 000.-
600 for two months, caused by the
fact that the income tax this year fell
due in May and June, while last year it
was collected chiefly in August and Sep.
TENDER. The statistics for the year ending
June 80, 1867, show aggregate receipts
from whisky and tobacco combined, largely
exceed the receipts from same sources for
the previous fiscal year.
The Tribune's special says: The Presi-
dent is determined to relieve Gen. Howard,
and is only waiting to find man to put in
his place.
Gen. Pope cannot be considered safe in
his position. The President gives out that
he will surely remove him.
Prominent citizens from Baltimore, state
that great apprehension exists among the
UniOnists of that city, in regard to the
coming celebration of the anniversary of
the battle of North Point, which is to take
place in that city on the 8th inst.
The militia of MARYLAND il composed
mostly of returned Rebel soldiers. Their
number is put down a 5000 strong. The
regiments made up in Baltimore and ad-
lacent counties are to take part in the
coming celebration; so also are several in
dependent regiments, composed mostly of
colored men who served in the Union
army during the rebellion. A conflict is
anticipated. These Baltimoreans state that
the Rebel element in Maryland is very
great, and they mean mischief if they can
make it. They go so far as to express
willingness to obey summons from john
son to dispose of Congress.
Queen Victories speech prorogueing
Parliament is not very sanguine as to peace.
She trusts no ground exists at present for
apprehending any disturbance. With re-
gard to Abyssina, a peremptory demand
had been made for the release of the pris-
oners, and if necessary, measures for sup,
porting that demand would be taken.
The reasonable conspiracy in Ireland is
referred to in severe terms, but no room is
found for promising any redress for the
great grievance under which the Irish peo-
pie still suffer. The reform bill referred
10 is, in general, unmeaning terms, and no
announcement is made as regards the sup
Elementary bills which must come up the
next session of Parliament.
