    Tbe Storm on the SoatUern Coast.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 18.—The steamer
Albemarle, Captain H. A. Bo wine, arrived
here this afternoon from New York, with a
full freight and a number of passengers for
Norfolk and Richmond, She reported hav
ing bad a pleasant passage, and that the
recent heavy northeast gale had entirely
'abated. This is exceedingly gratifying; and
it is to be hoped that a long interval of good
weather will occur before our ccrast is again
visited by such a succession of heavy gales,
hearing with them the sad tidings of such
numerous shipwrecks and marine disasters.
Additionally gratifying is this abatementof
the unsettled weather tothe fleet of mer
chantmen which have been lying securely
anchored in Hampton Roads, for^weeks,
indeed many ot them since the first equinoc
tial indications. Some days before the late
northeast gale, prospects of fine weather
aiffisississs
hreezes,impeded their voyages, and shortly
the eale. which bad been but gathering in
its sfrengthTburst forth with terrific force
from the northeast. Bravely did the vessels
that left here contend with the elements,
and ronehly, indeed, did the galeusethem.
Beating undismayed against the gale, at
times hove too under reefed sails or bare
■noles. the last remaining hope for a veering
of the winds wasgivenup, and after making
Bamegat and lying off for days, they were
ruthlessly driven back to this port, from
whence they sailed, short of provisions,
split sails and otherwise damaged. This gale
was confined to tpe coast around Hatteras
and to the northward, while to: thesouth
waid of Hatteras it was comparatively un
noticed.
■Vessels from the Half of Mexico, bound
up the coast, who were fortunate enough to
escape the hurricane of 2d inst.,in which the
Evening Star went down, were just in time
to encounter the northeast gale raging
around Hatteras, and still worse farther
north. While the preceding hurricane, pre
vailed in latitudes south of Hatteras to its
greatest, extent, the late gale visited those,
north of it. In .corroboration of this it may
he stated that the barque George Kingman,
from Erontera, Mexico, hound to New
York, with a cargo of mahogany and log
wood, which enconntered the previous
storm while'in the Straits of Florida, was so
delayed by itas to be unfortunate enough to
meet the northeaster at Cape Hatteras. She
proceeded as far as Smith’s Island, Va.,and
observing the storm as growing worse In
the northwaid,put into Hampton Roads for
a harbor.
Again:' The schooner Mary A. Rich,from
M&rrigoane, Hayti, bound to. Boston, with
logwood, just escaped the hurricane, hut
enconntered the recent northeaster off the
coast of Jersey. She got aB far as Martha’s
Vineyard, but finding it impossible to con
tend with the head winds, short of provi
sions, the crew on short allowances, and
having lost part of her deck load overboard,
she put bacK for Hampton Roads, arriving
here yesterday.
The brig Guadaloupe, for New York,with
a cargo of molasses, suffered a. like fate.
She had got up as far as Barnegat, and then
was as ruthlessly driven back by the seve
rity of the gale.
The same trying experiences was the for
tune of numerous vessels now lying in the
harbor.
The Evacuation of Sonora.
The following communication has just
been received at the State Department:
Consulate of the United States,
Guayamas, Sept. 11,1866,—/Sir.-—I have the
honor to inform you that the evacuation of
this port and State of Sonora by the French
squadron and land forces, will take place
on the 14th Inst. I have been officially in
formed of this fact by the Admiral in com
mand. The preparations for embarkation,
which have been going on for ; some days,
and the fact of the withdrawal of these
forces, have created a panic among the
population, both native and foreign, and in
consequence, the steamer, which leaves on
the. 13th for Mazatlan and San Franoisco,
will be crowded beyond her capacity.
The French portlonof the community and
Mexicans who have been compromised or
who have given their support to the Em
pire, are making every exertjon to escape
the almost certain retribntion which awaits
them at the hands of the incoming Liberals.
The merchants and respectable families not
compromised in these political difficulties,
apprehending danger from the lower classes
daring the interim of the withdrawal of the
French troops and the entering of the Libe
ral forces have sought the protection of this
Consulate.
As no one here appeared to be able to sug
gest or to move in a plan to protect the place
from rapine and murder, I Informed the
Admiral and commander of the place that I
would communicate the fact and the time of
the withdrawal of the troops to Gen. Pes
quira, chief of the Liberal forces of the
State, in order that he might be ready to
take possession immediately, and thereby
guarantee order and security. With the ap
proval of these officers I have despatched a
messenger to General Pesquira with this in
fonnatien, and with an appeal to his gene
rosity in behalf of those who are threatened
with ruin, and who are now preparing to
flee their country. I trust his answer will
he conciliatory and humane.
The knowledge of my having communi
cated with Pesquira has restored quiet to
the place, and many hope yet to be able to
remain in their homes. The steamer for San
Francisco' will leave on the 10th, when I
may be able to report the city quiet and
again in possession of the officers of the
Constitutional Government.
I have the honor to be, very respeotfally,
year obedient servant,
' Edward Conner, '
United States Consul.
To Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of
State, Washington, D. 0.
The Emigration of Freedmen to Pern.
The following has . just been issued from
the State Department: •
Department op State, Washington;
Oct 18, 1866.— T0 Sis Excellency, the Go
vernor of the Stateof .—Sir On the 4th
inst. I had the honor to address a; letter to
yon informing yon that schemes were on
foot to indace freedmen to emigrate to for
eign countries, and particularly to Pern,and
suggesting that all' legal and moral means
at your command should bensed to prevent
what was believed to be an attempt,. Under
specious promises of advantages, to practise
imposition upon the ignorant freedmen of
our eountry.
Referring to that communication I have
now the honor to transmit for your informa
tion extracts of the despatch addressed to
this Department by a censulof the United
States in Peru, under date of the 15th nit.,
which prompted the suggestions upon the
subject referred to which have already been
made. .
I have the honor to be your Excellency’s
obedient servant.
William H. Seward.
EXTRACTS.
‘‘l consider it my duty to advise the Go
vernment that a person named Mullan, a
native of Chile, resident in Dima, *- * a
has departed for the United States with the
object of contracting for two thousand
families of negroes for this country. The
intention of the parties interested is to give
the speculation the coloring of free coloniza
tion in that country, but that the negroes
are to be sold in the Bame manner as the
Chinese coolies, for the term of eight years
for the sum of §375 cash, under the pretext
of remunerating the speculator for passage
and advance money.

years, twenty-five cents in Boliviaourrenoy,

Strike ol the Government Printers at
WasbilnKton.
The proprietors of the private printing
offices of Washington yesterday’’entered a
protest at the Treasury Department,against
the eight-hour system, which, on Saturday,
was established by the fjjolajnbia Typo
graphical Society, and has been in force at
the Government Printing Bureau sinoe
Monday.,
The practice of the Government in such
cases has been to regulate the compensa
tion according to that paid by private em
ployers. Therefore, in consequence of this
protest, the Treasury Department refuses
to pass the bills of the Superintendent of
Punlio Printing. In other words, as the
private offices refuse to grant the eight-hoar
system, it is not accorded by the, Govern
ment. . In consequence of this denial, the
printers at the Government Printing Bu
reau suspended work yesterday afterneon,
and will hold a meeting to determine their
conduct in the premises.
From New Orleans.
New Orleans, Oot. 19.—A military
order directs the arrest of Terrence Tonps,
charged with shooting a freed man, in the
Parish Lafayette. The order is issued
under General Grant’s order, it being al
leged that the civil authorities have neg
lected to bring the accused to trial.
Governor Wells has gone, It is said, to
the Calcasian country, in the southwestern
part of the State, to look for oil springs on
the lands of a company chartered by the
Legislature of 1864 to dig a canal, and to
which were given, by that code, the greater
part of the swamp lands of the State.
A Section of the Harlem Railroad
Sunk in a Marsh.—The residents of
Dutchess county, N. Y., living along the
line of the Harlem Railroad,says the Pongh
keepsie Eagle, have had a subject of un
usual interest to discuss for a few days past,
which was nothing more nor less than the
sudden sinking to the depth of twenty feet,
of about forty rods of the Harlem Railroad
track, crossing a swamp near the ice honsea
between South Denver and Pawling. The
singular event occurred on Friday last, and
as may be supposed, it created the greatest
wonderment among the population for
miles around. This marsh is soft and
yielding to a great depth, and the track
across it has sunk once before, shortly
after the road was built. All efforts to make
a firm foundation for the track at this place
have heretofore failed. Piles have been
driven to a great depth, hut without reach
ing solid ground, and the only way a foun
dation could be made was by filling it with
treeß and brash. A freight train passed
over this spot bat a few hoars previous, and
it was noticed at the time that the track
bent beneath the pressure to the depth of
nearly two feet, Several large cattle trains
were obliged to put baok to Albany in con
sequence of this break. Passenger trains
transfer their passengers and ' baggage to
trains in waiting on the opposite side, the
passengers reaching the cars by a walk of
a quarter of a mile across the swamp on
planks.
Claims of Union. Prisoners.—ln con
formity with the limitation for the presenta
tion of claims against the fund now under
the charge of the Commissary General of
Prisoners, principally money that had been
taken from Union prisoners of war and re
covered, fixed by direction of the Secretary
of War to be on or before October Ist, 1866,
of which due pnblic notice was given by
the Commissary General of Prisoners, no
claims presented after that date will be con
sidered by the Board of Officers now in
session in this city, convened by special
orders, No. 486, War Department, Adjutant
General’s office, of the date of October 1,
1866. Such evidence,tolcomplete the claims
presented before that date, as has been re
quested by. letters addressed to claimants or
.their agents, must be forwarded to the Com
missary General of Prisoners, at Washing
ton, D. C., so as to reach that office on or
before November 15th, 1866, to enable the
Board to make their- report and complete
their pro rata awards.
• The Captors of the Assassination
Conspirators.— Messrs. Seward.-and Rid
dle, as counsel for General D, C. Baker, E.
J. Conger and L. B.TBaker, have entered
suit against Morgan, Smith, Dougherty and
others, who received the Government re
ward for the arrest of the assassination con--
spirators. The object of this suit is.that the
parties interested may come into court, and
the equity of their to portions of the
reward of $20,000, goffered by the Corpora
tion of Washington, may be determined on;
