Startling Disclosures-The GoiaeH
Ruseo PurDnSeEy Wrecked, &c.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Sun publishes
q report. founded upon the statement OF
detective Colonel Wood, that the Golden
Rule" was purposely wrecked in 1865, IN
order that over a million of treasure be-
longing to the United States might be stolen.
According to Woods narrative, MontSom-
cry Gibbs managed the affair.
Wood says he would have made arrests
had it not been for the desire of the Ad-
ministratlon TO protect Gibbs. He has won
over Washburne, Mrs. Grant, Speaker
Blaine, and others, and so there is no use
pursuing him further.

v,ntiou was held at Emmaus church, near

from AL parts of the peninsula, and proved
to be an occasion Of great interest. 1t con-
tinued three days, and was succeeded by 8
pgclractcd meeting, which was held about
TIE same length OF time, and resulted IN adj
di,ions TO the church and marked religious
awakening.
