EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New YORK, September 1S.-The dam
age done by yesterdays storm proves to
be very great. Several buildings were
blown down. The Gospel tent in 34th
street is utterly destroyed, the 12.inch
centre pole being snapped. Cellars and
Easements around the river front were
flooded. No lives were lost. The de.
struction of trees, awnings. sign boards,
political banners and transparencies is
something immense.
One of the signs of revival Of bust
ness activity, which has been apparent
in all channels Of trade within the past
month. is to be found in the marked in.
crease in the business of the postoffice
over the early part Of the present year
and the corresponding period of 1875.
At no time since few weeks following
the panic of 1878. when the uncertain
state Of business and many failures
caused an unusual amount of correspon-
dence, has SO much mail matter been
sent out and received at the New York
Postoffice. The amount OF matter
handled for the quarter ending August
81, was slight increase over the
amount for the corresponding quarter Of
1875, but the most marked increase has
been within the past ten days. During
the week ending Saturday, the number
of letters deposited in the Office for mail
ing has averaged 325, 200 a day. Last
year the average for the corresponding
time was 275, 900 a day. The letters re-
ceived from abroad for delivery In the
aged 100, 900 day in excess OF 10000
letters day over the receipts for the
same time last year. The market for
our farm products is widening. Since
last July. American cattle have been re-
ceived at Glasgow to the number of from
$50 to $50 head per week. Meat has also
been imported there regularly, the aver
age quantity being one hundred and fifty
carcasses weekly.
The Herald's special says that Sitting
Bull, with his followers, have crossed
the Missouri River thirty miles from
Fort Peck. The troops are in hot pur.
suit. but it is doubtful if they overtake
him.

very high wind. set in last night, and
continued to-day, and is still raging.

CHICAGO. September 1.-THE Tri.
Dunes special from Sioux City says:
Next Tuesday, the 10Th, has been the
time fixed for taking the arms and ponies
from the Indians on the Upper Missouri,
and the military express belief that th
Indians will submit quietly. Others.
who understand the character of the Tn.
dams and know their love for gun and
pony, believe that when the general dis
arming begins there will be trouble, and
that 1t q massacre at some point or other
along the Missouri is averted, it will be
wonder. Troops are being distributed
at the Agencies where trouble is most
likely to occur, and should the Indians
resist lively time will ensue.
