The sale arrival of the yachts Dauntless nd
Cambria at New York-the English era', 6head
tut that is no matter Invests the ebjcct with
Jresh interest. We subjoin slhes of these
teautiful vessels:
THE DAUNTLESS.
The Dauntless, as almost every one in Ame
rica or Europe knows, is owned by Mr. J. G.
Bennett, Jr., Vice-President of the New York
Yacht Club. She was sailed in this case, as in I
her previous ocean contest, by Captain Samuels.
She has excellent bcarines, a beautiful shear and
a clear tub, and is capable ot carrying a heavy
press of canvas. Prior to 18tW she never . had a
square race. On the cruise of the fleet of the
New York Yacht Club in the preceding Arst,
when going from New koiidun to Newport, it
was thought ID fit for such a heavy vessel in a
Mj;ht easterly w ind she worked remarkably well.
On that occasion she was the third yacht in at
Newport, and was behind the winning boat only
bout an hour.
Some time after the great ocean contest, in
which the Vesta, Flcetwing, and Ilenriett
were the competitors, the owner of the last
mentioned vctsel purchased l'liirondolle, and
her name was changed to the Dauntless. Hav
ing undergone some alterations, she figured in
the races given nndcr tbe auspices of the New
York Yacht Club, especially on the annual
cruises. It Is unnecessary to follow up her
career until the time when she was completely
changed and rendered altogether a different
vessel. This occurred at Noank early in the
spring of last year. It should be remembered
that in November, 1808, the Dauntless sailed
from Norfolk, Virginia, to Staten Island in
thirty hours.
Further alterations were completed in May,
1WJ. They were of such a radical character
that very little of the former boat was left. Last
year she crossed the Atlantic, and entered in
the Channel race for yachts of all nations, from
Cherbourg round the Nab Light and back, for a
cup of the value of 2500 francs, given by the
Kmperor of the French through the Societe les
Keeates de Cherbourg, with a prize for the
second vessel, value 1000 francs and a gold
medal. The other yachts were the (iulnevere,
Shark, Egeria, Mystrie, and Deane. The yachts
were started under way at 2- o'clock in the
afternoon.
About an hour after the start the Dauntless
carried away her foretopmast bringing down
her foregall-topsall. Although thus disabled,
the Dauntless kept on the course, and after all
came in third, being beaten only by the Guine
vero and Egeria the iormcr taking the first
prize. This was the only race in which the
Dauntless was engaged since her advent in
ireat Britain, with tbe exception of the inter
national contest. The Dauntless was again over
hauled at Cowes last April in preparation for
the ocean race. She was newly coppered, her
foremast was placed four feet aft, and she un
derwent some other alterations. Her draught
ol water aft is now twelve feet three inches.
TUB CAMBRIA.
The Cambria, the property of Mr. J. Ashbury,
of the Koyal Thames Yacht Club, was built by
Mr. Kotsey, of Cowes, and was launched in
May, 1803. The Cambria is rated '2 IS tons by the
New York Yacht Club, but she is generally
rated as 188, Thames measurement.
The Cambria was expressly designed for
ppced, and every expedient that experience
could suggest was resorted to to insure that ob
ject. Her first appearance as a racing craft was
on the 1M of June, 18(58, when she had for com
petitors the Egeria (152 tons), Glorlana (132
tons), and Fleur de Lin (100 toas). In this race
the Cambria was the first to reach the win
ning poet, but lost the prize, having to allow
her smaller opponents time tor difference in
tonnage.
On August 4th. the French and English
yachts were one and all beaten by her; but
her crowning performance tor tne year iu
was on August 25, when she sailed against
the American yacht Kappho, beating her, and
Lt the same time the three fastest English
yachts the Aline, Olmara and the Condor.
On August 5, 1H5!), when sailing for the
cup presented by the tradesmen of Cowes,
the beat the famous Alarm, & vessel that has
won more prizes than any other afloat, and
was the only one that could contend with the
America.
On August 10. 1600, she was the first of
twenty-five yachts that sailed for the Royal Vic
toria Plate. In this race she (Teat almost every
known clipper yacht in England. On July 23
she won the iir-t prize ia the lloyal Yorkshire
Regatta; but her career in this year was cut
short by her currying away both her masts.
When there were no matches to be sailed, Mr.
Ashbnry sent the Cambria to the Mediterranean,
.-.ml she took part in tbe ceremony of the open
ing ef tbe Suez Canal.
Tier career as a racing schooner has been quite
remarkable. Hunt's Yachting Magazine of De
cember, lbt'8, says of her
"On her iint aprtpurane In th Thames she was
considered a beautiful model. tv.it owmtr, no doubi,
to ncr want of proper trimming, was judged t be no
fljer. bh lias since reaped a world-wide fame,
mating ail the 'cracks' and gaming the champion
ship cl the seas.'
On January :1, 1ST0, the Cambria once more
returned to Cowes, having experienced very
heavy weather after leaviug iibr Altar, duriug
which she was hove to for fourduys and be
haved well. She was taken to ibm slip at Cowes,
where she was hauled up to dry and prepare
for her struggle with the Dauntless. Her alte
rations were not numerous; her bulwarks were
raised, and more shear given; additional lug
port holes on each side and three or four tons of
lead added to her keel comprised the material
alterations.
There has been no reference to her contests
with the Sappho in this sketch, because the
public have them still fresh in mind.

RAILROAD OFFICE REMOVALS.
The Proponed Removal of the Pennsylvania
Hallway oillcea The Lichlh Valley Hallroad
t'onpaDT to Occupy ike Old Locution lutc
rrntltiff Particulars.
The I'cnnsylvania Railroad Company will in a
few weeks abandon their fine ollice building at
the corner of Third street and Willing's alley lor
another and still finer one, at the corner of
Fourth street and Willing's alley.
"When the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
built the building that lt now occupies, only a
few years ago, it was supposed that it had
ample ollice accommodation for all time; but it
has spread so wonderfully in acquiring control
of the Fort Wayne, the Northern Central, the
Philadelphia and Erie, the Eltnira, the Cum
berland Valley, and some half dozen other
smaller railroads, together with the Pennsylva
nia and Wyoming Canals, that its present ac
commodations are far short of what is required
by its army of clerks with their immense iolios
of accounts.
To meet the increasing wants, the larger
building on Fourth street was projected, which
will soon be completed. Possession will be ob
tained some time in tbe fall, and the company
will then immediately remove. The new
building is larger and superior in every way to
the old, and is better adapted in every particu
lar to the wants of the company. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad has bought the' old building on
Third street, and will take possession as soon
as the Pennsylvania evacuates tbe premises.
The accounts of the Lehigh Valley Company
have, lor the last two or three years, been a
good deal scattered some of them in this city,
some at Mauch Chunk, some at Bethlehem, and
some, more recently, at Wilkesbarre. It is
greatly to be desired to have them all centred at
one point, which may be done when the com
pany comes into the possession of its purchase.
inougn tne traue oi tne J-enign v alley Katiroad
is not in scope and magnitude equal to that of
the Pennsylvania road, it is nevertheless very
large and crowing steadily.
Its main and lateral roads now traverse the
entire Lehigh coal region, touching almost every
coal mine worKea in it, ana is gradually stretcu
ins: its rails in tortuous course into the Schuyl
kill region, threatening: the Reading Railroad
Company with competition for the coal freight
from tne more northern mines ot that proline
field. The new ollice accommodations of the
company will be a great convenience to the
public in tne transaction ot business.

tuied to a Mrs. Koeseritz, residing No. 843
North Eleventh street, arose from her bed about
5 o'clock this morning, and making a bundle of
almost everything of value in the hou?e, de
camped. The first intimation the family had of
tbe matter was a strong odor of gas. An ex
amination disclosed the fact that after gathering
together all the clothing, jewelry.etc., she could
liLd, sue naa turned on every gas burner in tbe
lower stories, wita a view of siuotherlnir the in
mates of the house. Mrs. Koescritz at once
vifited tbe Eighth District Station House and
informed Lieutenant Steinaaer of the affair, at
tbe same time mentioning a ce Main locality in
which she tbought the girl would be found. Too
Lieutenant detailed two olncers to hunt her up.
and a few hours subsequently they found her in
a bagnio on St. Mary street, above Sixth. She
was taken before Alderman Massey, who sent
ner to prison.
Fishing Extraordinary, This morniBg, as
the Cape May steamer Arrowsmith was taking
in freight and passengers at Arch street wharf,
a carriage, loaded with trunks and other sea
side paraphernalia, belonging to Mr. E. C. Eby,
a Market street merchant, by some mishap
sui'ped irom tne wuan or boat and leu into tue
water. A rich scene, occasioned by the fishing
up process, ensued, much to the amusement of
the small boys and others of the lookers-on. A
driver's full brass-buttoned livery coat, acciden
tally left by the owner on the seat, accompanied
tbe carriage in Its bath, and was fished up with
considerable difficulty. Tackle was then pro
cured, and the carriage was landed with about
as much difficulty as it would take to land a
whale or other monster of the deep, much to the
relief of tbe anxious individual in charge, who
was tbe. owner of the brads-buttooed coat,
which article he took good care to secure first.

tant General of the army.
Third. Regimental commanders will discharge
the non-commissioned officers referred to in
section 10 of the bill, or if the men so elect may
appoint them to vacancies iu the existing grades
of non-commissioned ollicers, or permit them
to serve out their terras as privates.
Fourth. The commanders of the several
geographical and military departments will, as
toon as they can be prepared, forward to the
Adjutant-General of the army the names, rank,
regiment, and corps of staff or regimental offi
cers wbo should be brought before .the retiring
board. In each case the cause, degree, nature, and
duration of the disqualification will be stated as
clearly as possible, and tbe documentary evi
dence and list of witnesses necessary to sustain
tbe allegation ol unfitness will be furnished.
Fifth. Department and regimental com
manders may recommend for sulficient cause
such meritorious officers as from choice or pecu
liar fitness may be advantageously transferred
from one of the arms cavalry, artillery, or in
fantryto another.
Army Order.
Major L. C. Bootes, unasslgned, has been re
lieved from duty as Indian agent, and will
await orders.
First Lieutenant George M. Fleming, unas
slgned, has also been relieved as Indian agent
and directed to proceed home to await orders.
An Officer Court-martialed.
Lieutenant-Colonel ' James Totten, Assistant
Inspector-General U. 8. A., was tried by court
martial at Louisville, April 19, 1870, Colonel C.
S. Lovell, 14th United States Infantry, being:
President of the court, and was found guilty or
three charges, viz., disobedience of orders,
neglect of duty to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline, and conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman. The sentence was
that he be dismissed the service of the United
States, and tbe proceedings, findings, and sen
tence having been approved by the President,
Lieutenant-Colonel Totten ceased to be an officer
of the army from the 22d of July, 1870.
Indian Affair.
Major John Green Uuited States larmy, writes
to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs from Ari
zona in regard to the Cayotteras or White
Mountain Apache Indians, at their request, and
gives a very favorable account of them. About
a year ago be was sent out there with a
command to punish these Indiana for
depredations said to have been com
mitted by them, but upon his arrival
finding them living peacefully upon a . reserva
tion, be thought best not to disturb them. Tbe
tribe numbers some 1400 or 1500, and are in
a very destitute condition. Tbe Major expressed
tbe belief that if the Indian Bureau would esta
blish an honest agent there and give them a
reservation, their civilization would a perfect
success. He closes by saying that there
"is one thing certain, if we wish to make
civilization a success we must make the con
dition of those desiring it better than that of the
hostile Indian, for as long as the wild Indian
lives better by marauding than tbe tame one by
planting, it is but little encouragement to the
latter, and has a very bad influence."

announces that Count Benedetti's autograph in
the secret treaty lately made public in England
is visible to all callers at the Foreign Office.
A formal communication from the North

The Kecext Disastrous Coxfi-agration
A Case fo the Charitable. A visit to the
ruins of the recent destructive fire oa Race
street this morning showed that a portion of
the wall on Race street had fallen down, and
that the remaining portion on both Race and
Crown streets Is in imminent danger of toppling
over. The police still maintain a clear parage
way from Fifth to Fourth streets by means of
ropes. Two lines of hose are in service, cooling
the bricks and debris surrounding the safcSjJso
that those articles may be taken out.
To the north of the sugar refinery, on Crown
street, lived a family by the name of Camp
bell, consisting of the husband, wife, and two
children. Mr. Campbell Is in very delicate
health, and his wife succeeded in maintaining
her family by keeping a small candy store,
which was principally patronized by tbe school
children. When the north wall of the refinery
fell, on the right of the fire, it carried away the
eof and third and second lioors of the Campbell
dwelling. The r-edding, sheeting, etc., which
had been removed previously, was mide
use of in carrying away the Injured firemen,
and of that which was returned, the most is in
a condition rendering it unfit for further use.
Tbe Campbells had nothing else than the store
to depend upon, and have been tbrown out of
a home. The members of the Neptune Hose
Company have opened the doors of their house
to the family, and they are now belug supported
by the contributions of this organization.

From the X. Y, Herald.
"There was a more buoyant tone to the Wall street
markets to-day consequent upon betterrepons from
London, where, desoltj several failures incident to
'settlement day' and arising out of the re ;en; sharp
decline in all kinds of securities. American Five
twenties were dealt in at higher prices. The re
covery In prices of stocks was quite slurp in tne
afternoon, but the denllnss were on a limited scale
owing to a lack of general confidence pending the
war iu Europe, and Hence the markets were dull at
the Improvement.
"The course of speculation at the Gold Exchange
was towards lower quotations. The earliest dealings
before the board were somewhat excited on the an
nouncement that the Empress Eugenie bad been
made regent a fact Huguiestlve of a vigorous war
policy on the part ol the Kmperor and gold sold as
IiIkU as I2'2,y. From this point it receded to isitt on
the rumor that Secretary lioutwell intended accept
ing bids for mi re than a million gold at the Sub
Treasury sale at noon. The dinproval of this story
produced no reaction, for meantime the Loudon
telegrams reported tlve-twenties as advanced
to bl, the eilcot of which was a further de
cline to 121. Afterwards there was a reaction to
12:?,' on the large shlpmont of specie the largest or
any single day since the beginning of the present
European complications. The total shipment was
J3,277.C5j, of which the Scotia took $i.t.47,t7, and
the Wisconsin J730.000. The bids for the Govern
ment gold were for a total of ftiy.MQ,ooo, at prices
ranging from 120 to 121J1. The million was awarded
atm-!i$m-38.
"There wa9 a still further relaxation in money, and
borrowers on call, with pledge of miscellaneous col
laterals, were accommodated at Ave to six per cent.
On liovernmcnts the rate was three to four per cent.
In discounts there was more currency for prime
double name acceptances at seven per ceut."
THERE ARE MANY SOLDIERS AND
Sailors, their orphan and widows, and their heirs,
wbo have good claium fur arrears of pay, bounty, priz
money, commutation of travel or commutation of ra ions,
which ought to be paid theut.
In many such cases application have been made, but
remain nnsettled fcr want of proof or from neglect, and
frequently from incompetency of the agent wbo filed the)
claim. We will give auVce to our comrades when written
