FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin. ]
Washington, March 15.—A great deal of in
terest centres in the gold bill. Its friends are
sangnine of its passage to-day.
The statement that General Meade is to he
removed and that General W. P. Smith will
take his place is, to say the least, premature.
Senator Hicks is going on well this-morning.
The Government detectives are on the track
of alleged frauds in the navy yards of the
country.
FBOBABLE LOSS OP AH ITALIAN PEIGATE,
New York, March 15.— The ship Star of the
Vest reports that on the 7th of March, in lat.

M., she saw a large man-of-war with her
main topmasts gone, and colors at masthead as
If they wished to speak us. 1
Subsequently we were able, after considera
ble difficulty, to speak her, and were informed
that she was in a sinking condition, with 406
people on board, and asked us to remain by her
during the night. This we did, firing rockets
and bine-lights until 11 P. M. that night, when
we ceased to receive any reply.
At six o’clock the next morning hauled by
the wind, supposing the man-of-war had kept
away before the wind. At nine P. M. that
night a strong *. breeze from N. W. com
menced blowing,.and the-weather was mode
rately clear. Nothing more was seen of the
frigate which was the Italian man-of-war H Re
Galantuomo.
THE GOLD BILL.
"Washington, March 15. —1 t was asserted
m the debate yesterday that neither the Presi
dent nor ; the Secretary of War has reiiem
mended that authority be given to sell the
surplus gold. This is a mistake, as it is known
that the Secretary has not only asked for it in
letters to the Finance Committee,but has urged
the passage of a bill for that purpose upon
individual members of Congress.

House;— The House took up the Senate hill pro
viding tnat the franking privilege of the President
and tne Vice Presideni, shall extend to and cover
all mail matter sent to or from either of them [<;
Mr. Kasson (la.) suggested that further consid
eration shall be given to the subject, as the mails
should not again be thrown opeh for the sending
to these officers, postage free, of essays, applica
tions for office, and papers of no use or importance
to them.
Mr. Norton (111.) said mere slionld be one mle
for all? haying the franking privilege, and hence
the President and Vice President shonld be placed
on the; same basis as Congressmen. He was willing
to abolish the privilege altogether. -
Mr.; Alley (Mass.) remarked that the parties in
terested desired that the bill should be passed as at
present. -They are subject to onerous taxation.
The bill/was then.passed.

CITY BULLETIN.
Scarcity of Seamen During the past few
weeks there has been a great falling off in the num
ber of enlistments in the navy, and war vessels are
now lying idle at the several Naval Stations of the
Government simply from the fact that a sufficient
number of men to form a crew cannot be obtained.
The impending draft, which has induced the offer
of large bounties in cities, towns and boronghs, in
order that the quotas may be filled by volunteer
ing, secures all the men for the army, while the
navy, which is one of the most important elements
in the suppression oi the rebellion, is in a great
measure rendered useless. The following section
relative to enlistments in the naval service was in
corporated in the. amended Enrollment act, which
has recently become a law:
‘‘® Eo - *• And he it further enacted, That all
enlistments in the naval service of the United
Mates, or in the marine corps of the UnttedStates,
that may hereafter be made of persons lirble to
service under the act of Congress entitled an act
lor enrolling and calling out the national forces,
aud for other purposes, approved March third,
eighteen hundred and sixty- three, shall be credited
to the ward, towns township, precinct, or election
district, or county, when the same Is not divided
into wards, towns, township*, precinct*, or
election di*tricts,ln which such enlisted men were
or may be enrolled and liable to duty under the
acts aforesaid, under such regulations as the Pro
vost Marshal General of the United States May
prescribe.”
It will be seen by the above that in the matter of
credits, the seamen are placed upon, the same loot
ing as volunteers in the army, and it would be
to extend the City and Ward bounties to them.
The object of the bounty is to encourage enlist
ments, ano as seamen and marines are credited to
the qnota of the city the same as the army,there is
no reason why they should not be included in the
bill. As seamen are greatly: needed, it is fbe
hoped that C»ty Cour.cils wilrtake the matter into
consideration at an early day,
Franklin Square —Mr. Florence McCarty,
late Superintendent ot Franklin Square, states

Death of an old-Steahboatman.— Says the
Pittsburgh Post\ Capt.lsaiah Sellers,: an old-time
pilot of the Lower Mississippi, died at Memphis
on the 6th inst. Capt. S. was the pilot of the
famous J. M, White when she made'her’ fast run
from New Orleans to St. Louis, and afterward
held that position on the renowned Aleck Scott
in her palmy days. The J. M. White made the
trip from New Orleans to St Louis in three days*
twenty-three hours and nine minutes, which time
has never been beaten. This was in 1844, when
there were no “cui-off« M or “wood boats’ *'■ to
tow, compelling her to “wood” from the bank.
She was built this city by Capt J. M. Oon
verse, and was the fastest craft that ever floated on
the Mississippi. An anecdote is related of a Mr.
- st * £o*rt*rwbo"was interested in the
white. A signal had been agreed upon that
the boat, on reaching the city, should fire three
guns, if under four days, and four if over that
time in making the trip. Mr. Kennett was seated
a barber’s chair when he heard the three guns
fired, which so elated him that he rushed to the
landing, hatless, coatless andhall-shaved!

Ihportakt Obdrk.—ln consequence of the
complaints made by the railroad companies, of the
ditorderly conduct* in many instances, of soldiers
when traveling, General Brooks issued the fol
lowing order:
H EADQCARTEHS,' DEPARTMENT OP THE MOSOX
GARELA, FirrsiiUßGH, March 11, 1661. -General
Orders —lt is mortifying to learn that many per
sons in the garb of soldiers, traveling In railroad
cars, are gnilty of indecent behavior and of a mi
licions and wanton abuse of the cars and appurte
nances. It is made the duty of railroad conductors
coming into this city to give notification to these
headquarters by telegraph, if practicable, when
such offences are committed by those unmindful of
the behavior becoming the honorable calling of a
soldier, in order that they may be met at the depot
by a proper guard,and placed in custody for trial.
By command of Major-General Brooks.
THEOBORE READ, Ass’ t Adj.-Gen.
The Spotted Feveb.— Several cases of this
nnusual and generally fatal disease, have recently
occurred in Douglass and'Hereford townships,
Berks county, three of which have proved falal
- We understand that it also prevails to an alarm
ing extent, n the vicinity of West Newton, West
moreland county, on the Youghiogheny river and
that already several deaths have occurred from it.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle has heard of one case in
which, two sisters returned from a party at night
la good health, and were both corpses before morn
ing. Other equally as sudden says the same
paper, are reported, the victims in nearly every
instance dj iqg within twenty.four honrs after the
first symptoms, which usually are the appearance
of small pimples and blotches on the hands and
face, with acu'e pains, swelling of the head, and
enlargement of the glands of the neck.
