Minneapolis special: Tlio receipts ol wheat are now very heavy from first hands in Dakota, but, considering llio big yield, light in .Minnesota. The number of curs on eidc track in Minneapolis increased from 350 Friday to fi57 to-day. Itccelpts licro linvo grown from about 125 curs a day a week ago to 3JS car to-day. Slill Ditlutli is abend with 500 cars to-day, and an av crngo of some 300 cars a day till of hint week. The reason of tho largo receipts In Diilnth nre partially because tho Dtiluth re ceipts nro in larger proportion from Da kota than tho Minneapolis receipts, whilo Minneapolis cola tho larger proportion of tho Minnesota crop. In addition prices have been relatively higher in Diilnth. Tho Ritnation was similar a year ngo, Dultith leading off early with a heavy movement, with Minneapolis coming on tho home Htretch. Curgill Brothers, who opcralo a line of -15 houses on tho Manitoba, road say Hint five houses out of 45 on their lino is full nnd closed. At ono station (55,000 bushels hnvo been received already, while tho total receipts nt the samo station last year was only 1125,000 bushels.

TWO EMINENT FRENCHMEN, Xnmnrttno, V.io Poet, mill Itorlloz, tlio CompoBor. A Turin correspondent of The Xew Orleans Timts-Uemocrat writes: The year 1809 should be marked with black atone by Frenchmen. It saw the dentil ot two of thelrgrcatcouiitry men, Lainnrtlnc, the wcet poet, so booh for gotten, and Berlioz, the French llecthoven, whose posthumous glorification has at last atoned In some measure for the eiuel neglect which killed hint. Tho war of 1S70 and llio horrors of tho commune following so quickly after drovo all thought of both out of men's minds hero for a time. I.IUo tho death of Dumas, their loss was swallowed up In the tremendous calamities which robbed Fiance of two provinces, drained her coflers ot live mill iards, destroyed her proudest monu ments, and claimed to havo crushed licr out of the comity of nnlloni. Hut with tho revival of prosperity Franco found leisure to mourn her Illustrious child ren. Heritor., who had never In lilt lifetime been listened to In 1'arlB, was tardily proclaim ed a ircntus, and, strange to say, became us popular ns Auhcr l.amnrtlno had well nigh exhausted popularity before he died, To quote the melancholy phrase attributed to him, "lie hud outlhed his Iminortnllty." The new gen eration hud neither time nor tutti for senti ment. "lAVsMMiunoli" hud usurped tho place onco held by 'Jocelyn," and the t egret felt for tho ccoiid Fiench poet of the century cwio fur more from the head than the heart. Btlll, It was felt that something mint bo itnue to perpetuate the memory of the man who had so long been tin Idol. Ills woiks had begun to inolder on the thelf.

Very short ly llerllos will have his turn, lie has his pedestal reserved for him in the Place Mout imirte, within u stone's throw of the hotel lu Imbltctl by Kuille Zola mid close to what was the studio of Edouard Manet. Thero is something very suggestive In the Juxtaposition of thesa unmet.

THE BITVATIOX JMPItOriXO. 27i .'Vof! of Charleston Jleenmtng More Pacified and Eneouraacd. Charleston dispatch: Tholastonrthqunke shock wns experienced hco at 11;15 last night, since which time there has been no vibrations. Tho people are JuBt beginning to pick up courngo to come out. Efforts nre belnp made to clear paths through the tho streets tor tho pnssago ot vehicles and pedestrians, nnd the city once more bfgins to sbow some signs of life. For two long days and nights of horror, men, women and chil dren havo been camping out in parks and squares. Tho earthqunko swept over tlio city liko a besom cf destruction It is im possible to glvo any correct 'slimnlo of tlio Iobs of life nnd propcrtv, For two days ami nighth the people havo done nothing but huddle in tho square. Fmnl' detached relict parties aro going out. to dig out tho dend from the debris, or succor tlio wound ed. The first systematic effort to get nt the facts is now being made. The list of dead recognized and reported this morning fools tip to sixteen, and tho bcaroli hat. only com menced. The list of wounded will go into tlio hundreds. About sovon-clghtbs ot the houses or public buildings aro either dnm aged or wrecked. The waves from 0:55 Tuesdny night havo been coming every live or six hours. Thero hnvo been nonu now for about twolve hours, and stroll hopes nro entertained that the hoiror is about over. Specials to the News and Courier from points in South Carollnn, ranging from the extreme northwest to tho sea coast, icport sovoral shocks of earthquake and more or Icsh damage to property, but without losa of life s . nir is known. In Orangeburg the people became so alarmed that many moved to Columbia. As tho dotalls of the calnmity in this city aro gathered its effects become moro nnd more alarming. It is feared also that miirH distress will prevail, ns by far tho largn part ot thoso whoso property has been wrecked or Heriousy damaged belong to tho poorer classes. The people aro as cheerful as possible under tho terrible cir ciiinslancos. and aio trying to rostorb older out of chaos. Tho aggregato loss is expected to reach $3,000,000. Tho wharves, warehouses and business facili ties of tho city genera )y aro unaffected by the catastrophe, and Charlestoii is an ready as ovor for the transaction ot busi ness. l'eopln aro gradually tutting account m the details of injuries worked by tho earth qunko and the 1 st of dmnngo to property is stinting. A limited section south nfthe city is a sample ot the whole. Standing at the postolllco and looking west, an almost impiissalilo roadway ot debris meets tho oye. Tlio building of the chamber of com merce is badly damageil, a portion ot the south and west walls having been thrown down by tho violouco of tho shock, anil tlio buildings ot Walker, Evans ,t llngswoll have also suifercd, while heavy granite slabi, which formed tho parapet of tho News and Courier buildings lio upon thf sidewalk leaving the slato roof and a portion of the attic floor exposed. Most ot tho buildings on tho street aro moro or less damaged by tho violouce ot tho earthquake This is most perceptible at the historic internee lion ol ilrond and Meeting streets. Thu police station is almost a complete wreck. The upper edgo ot tlio wall has been torn down, and that of the north wall bar. fallon on the roof of tho porch, carrying it away and leaving only the largo fluted pillars standing. The city hall apparently es cajioil serious damage, but is badly cracked on the east wall, and tho court houso build ing Ih badly dainagcd, tho walls being cracked In sovoral places nnd portions ol the root and gables being thrown down. The lire-proof building seoms to stand as a rock. Tho guides of tho north and south porches, however, mndo ot solid brown stone, hnvo been thrown to tho pavement below. This appears to bo the only dam ngo done to tho building. The worst wreck lu tho locality, however, is St. Michael's church, which seems to bo doomed to de struction. Tho earth hna struck hor balanco and is now without a tremor. Thero is excito meiit lu Charleston to day. Tho people aio yet. in a daze. They know that thoy aio alivo and are too thankful for their esvapo to consider at nil their property Ioshok. In Fast Hay, Ilrond and Meeting streets, whero tho danriigo was greatest, tho sides ot tho streets aro piled with dobris ol tho wrecked houses, while the fronts aro out ot tully twenty houses from the roof to tho ground floor. The furniture nnd orna ments remain just us thoy wert. before the shock on Tuesday night. Halt tho brick houses, which cotnpiisn over half the houses in the city, have the topstory more or less demolished, but those houses that escaped that are porhnps worso off, tor it Is noticeable that nearly all that escaped having thu roof demolished aro cracked n lit tie in their front nnd at the miiidlo win dow of tlio middle story, which shows that they are nil shaken to their very founda tions and loosened in every joist and joint. Certainly not a third o! thoso so shaken can be lopuirod. They will havo to be pulled down and reconstructed from the verv eollins, Tho loss is variously esti mated at from 910,000,000 upward but no livhu iiiau can callmiito it within $."1,000,000. The plan to help tlio city that i.i talked about to-night in to get a loan of $ 10.000.000 from the federal Irons tiry by an net ot congress at a nominal in terest on the houses reconstructed. Owing to the unsafe condition ot all the houses the people walk in the middle ol the slieetH. All the houses are deserted at liightt-lll, ven one-story frame houses. It will bo fully a week before the people ie cover thulr nerves and tho qulot of mental balance. In the moaiitimoall business and labor is suspended, and people spend their time In knots lu tho middle of the streets. There wero 101 burial pormlta issued to day. Hut for all tho real destruction, the city has not nn nlr ot gloom. The people are tho pluckiest over seen; they surely cannot yet bo awakened to tho (net that this mag iitticent city is almost a total wreck. Kvery paik and square in the cl'.y to-niiiht is flllod with men, women ami children, sleeping under toiitHiniprovised from counterpanes, quilts, sheets nud canvas, stititehed upon poles oreetod at short notice. Kveryons is afraid to trust the houses lest another hor ror hUouIiI return and envelop them in a iiiiihs of dohriH and iilnster and timber. The w holo city presents the nppenrnnco ol a tented Held, upon which are resting hu man beings anxious tokuow what the next moment may bring forth. It in truly a cu rious sight that cannot be portrayed in words and yet so great is tho elasticity ol hum u nature that all, young and old, stwm perfectly contented, not real izing their losses nnd confident that lu soon way or anotlivr thoy will bo provided tor. The first train from Savannah came into the city tills atleruoon, three hours behind the schedule time. All along the Hue from ltavince station, twenty tho utiles distant, evidence of tho terriblw disaster Is plainly vlslblo. The earth is cracked in numerous places nud there arellssur's, while not wide, ot unknown and unfathomable depth. A bluish-grey, sandy mud ot the cons steucy ot paste nnd evidently forced up from depths far below the Nurture is to be seen nil all sides, while the color ot the stagnant water in pools Indicatei that it oozed up from veins that would havo never aeon tht nurfiu'u except through some tremendous convulsion of nature. The most alnsular phenomena is presented on the railrond between the city and Havinet. This atler uoon, only halt nn hour ntter the freight train had passed, the road bed wns Intense ly moved, causing the steel rails on the track to be twisted Into the shnpe of the letter "S," dcluying the passengor train fully an hour. No doubt this is caused by another sudden tremorof the earth, adding one more to tho numerous vibrations that have excited general tsar and anxiety dur ing the past four days. PIZIISOXAT.

Washington special: A tempest in a tea pot has been got up over an innocent little nowspnper paragraph in tho recent trip of tho assistant Indian commissioner, Gen eral Upshaw, to Now York, and tlio fact that during his absonco Miss MinnioCook, tlio coiniiiiKsionor's stenographer, was act ing Indian commissioner. The Now York World, which has a spito against Upshaw, growing out of tho Paii-Klectric investiga tion, contained a Biucaslie reflection upon him for neglect and carelessness in leaving such nn important bureau as tho Indian ollico to tho chargo of a woman clerk. Asido from tho ridiculousness of tho World in persecuting Upshaw, and Upshaw him sell in replying to such an absurd act, the funny thing is that this Miss Cook is tlio best informed poison about tlio wholo Indian ollico. She has been in ofllce thirteeeii yours; is a woman of ro markublo balance of mind and particularly notlceablo executive ability. She is a good shorthand writer, a good correspondent nnd has all thh details and the most min uto information pertaining to Indian mat ters at her instant command. 1 have been told by Indian agents, Indian inspectors ami by a great number of Indian mission aries of ouo denomination and another that but tor Miss Cook tho constant change of commissioners, tlio inroads of the In dian Uiug nud tho vuccihitiiig policy of the government toward tho Indiana, nould long ago havo demoralized tlio wholo office, Tho tally sits quietly at her desk and lias tor years practically been Indian commis sioner, directing nnd ml vising upon all mat ters of tho ollico with wonderful discretion and success.

Chicago Farmers' Koview in tills wcok's issue prints tho following crop sum mary: Tlio frost which provailed throughout a portion of tho corn bolt during ono night of the lust week causes very little diunngo to growing corn, lleports indicate that while the drouth and continued hot weather seri ously injured tlio general prospects of corn, it also accelerated tho ripening ot grain, and in sections ol Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota a portion ot the crop lias siilllciently iniilurod to bo beyond a danger from tho frosts. Koports indicate that, as a whole, tlio corn eiop will bo out of the wny ot frost within fifteen days, if not at tacked prior to then, nud a largo propor tion of thocropcaiiuot beseriously menaced oven now. The gone rat prospects for tho output of corn show no marked improvement. The tenor of the repot ts from nil the states ex cept Ohio, Indiana, Michigan ami Minne sota continue to predicate a short crop, lu the four stales iie.med tho prospects continue favorable for a bill average yield, while the majority of tlio counties estimate tho yield nt from 45 to 05 per rent. Ilo norts from one-half ot tho counties would indicate a general nvcrngo of 0- per cent. Koports from one-half ot the counties would indicate a general average of GU per cent, Twenty-six Ohio counties estimate an average of til percent. Kansas, Mis souri and Wisconsin glvo promise ol about olio-half the usual yield. The reports indicate that tho pastures are rapidly drying up, though in portions ot Illinois and Iowa late rains havo served to renew the grass somewhat. Early planted potatoes aro generally good, but tho late planted are poor and in many dis tricts a flat failure. Hogs aro generally re ported healthy with only scattering re ports as ytt ol cholera.

New Yonic, Sept. ft New York merchant?, Jobbers nnd eomml.'slon merchants arc gener ally satisfied with the condition of trade. Busi ness Is picking up and shows, In most roses, very decided Improvement. Buyers for the full trade have been and continue numerous nud In many kinds of business here men have to be kept very late by the employers to pack up and forward the goods ordered. Tho long arrays of boxes and cases piled tip In front of the business houses down town and n waiting their turn to be carted off glv: a strong ocular demonstration of the busy sea eon. Inquiries among merchants corroborate the testimony of the mute witnesses. A not'-d feature Is the Increase of orders from the south and southwest. They arc ordering fr in there not only large quantities of goods, but 'arc also demanding finer grades. Dry goods men say tho outlook for the fall tiadc with them Is unusually bright. In tho way of wholesale transactions the week Just closed has been a large one. Merchants from the south and west have nearly finished their fall bin lug aud ouly n few were left In the city yesterday, their places being taken by mer chants from less remote sections. Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wlscon-m nud Minnesota aro largely represented by tlio merchant? now In the market. Almost With out exception merchants nre buying freely on account of the bitter outlook In business nud fliracr prices of goods. The prices for general dry goods arc sufficiently firm to Inspire confi dence. The wholesale clothlnir houses report busi ness better than for several years past. The most notable Increase in the demand I fioia the south. Meich.iuts estimate this Increase at fully 'S j cr cent. Thu demand for cloth ing In tho western states Is also reported good. A boot and shoe house says : "Taking It all around more is doing this season than In any previous time for five years." The wholesale hide and leather tradercports business brisk at all prices. The glassware and crockery trade feel very comfortable over the outlook for the fall anil winter. There lias been no extraordinary de mand for goods from any section, but the ten dency nil over Is toward better buying and in creased consumption. In the Iron trade the one report is that busi ness Is nourishing. Manufacturers arc bus-y and there Is a brisk demand and good prices prevail. There Is no indication of a big boom, but a big boom Is not wanted. When trndo Is good and tho Iron men can keep their mills steuldy employed up to the. r limit then they nro content. That is the ease now. The lend inir companies report huge quantities for next year and nt the office of one leading mill di rector It was stated that nearly or quite all of the steel rail manufacturers locomotive and genital machinery bullder3 now have not only enough orders hooked to keep them busy nil this year, but enough as well to Insure business well Into 1837. B.g orders have been refused within the hist week for rails. "Pig iron trade was never better than now," vrcre the words used by a magnate In that line. The other related Industries are re ported brisk nnd remunerative. The Iron, bteel and metal trades generally arc working now In perfect linrinony with no cutting of rntes. There seems to be enough and moro than enough lor all to do. Largo orders for mils have' to ko to England to bo filled, tlio railroads here demanding supplies faster than the crowded American mills can turn out tho product. Hardware will bo cheap and abundant, and the volume of business prom ises to be quite as good as last year. Prices havo reached a level which tho dealers claim to be ns low ns lu England, nud there Is no prospect of n rise. This state of affairs has put a check upon production, and manu factures say they intend to go slow. The wholesale grocers quote trade better than at tills season In n long time. The tobacco aud cigar business holds Its own. One of the most extensive dealers in watches in Maiden I.nne said the watch nnd jewclrv trade, which Is the first to be affected by bard times and the last to come up, is lu better condition than for many years. Inquiry nmoug leading representatives of business shows a very encouraging state of Uilncs CLOSE CAT.T. FOIl II IS LIFE. Vrhiee Alexander's Train Singled Out to be Thrown from the Track London.

Citlseni of tlie Earthquake City of the South Ilceomtng More Compo$ed. Charleston special: Considerable confi dence has come to the peoplo to-dny. They teel very much better now thnn they did twenty-four hours ngo. Tho scientists who have boon exploring the city nnd tho adjneent country say Hint tho damaging s rthqunkes aro over, although thero will bo rumbling nnd tremors nt intervals dur ing the next two or threo weeks. Tho citi zens have nrgucd in their minds and among themselves that it is unreasonable to sup pose that tlio violent shocks will continue. Thus they have torced upon themselves a determination to be ns cool as possiblo and to look things in the face. The theory ns to the cause of the earth quakes first advanced by those making a study ot them hero, viz: "That they aro tho result of a settling process in the earth." hns been generally accepted as true, and this lias helped to quiet the nervous and consolo tho timid hea-ts nnd minds. Very few even of tlio most devout people, outside of tho superstitious, believe that there Is any dlvino wrath or work in the quakes. Thus havo thoy come to be philos ophers, to think before they run. when tho shocks come. Thero wero some more slight shocks to day, but they wero unnoticed. In fact, the public hero has concluded that the shocks aru to bo felt ns a natural con sequence of that experience on last Tiles da v night, and that "there ifl no use to get excited about a mero matter of routine," us ono citizen very coolly put it. Tho threatened rain did not materialize in any thing like a damaging quantity to-day. it sprinkled for a short time this morning and the sun shone in scorching rnys. This atternooii tho streets wero so hot that they almost burned one's feet, nnd only thoso who had business in tho open air exposed themselves to old Sol's rays. Tho "tented fields" mndo in tho parks wore us well occupied ns at any time since tho visitation by tho earthquakes. In ninny instances tho campers nud refugees havo mndo their shelter as secure as possi blo and intend living in them till their houses aro permanently repaired or re built. Old carpets, bedding, canvas, rub ber coals and every conceivable material to exclude tho sun nnd rain by day and tho dow bv night is employed, making the cnuips indeed, variegated. Nearly art' of tho iron and composition roofing on tho buildings in soino portions ot the city was destroyed by tho earthquake, and a largo portion lorn off by falling pieces ol chim neys, etc. The colored folks havo appro priated this material aud aro living bo neath canopies and touts made of it. At tho city hall to-night it wns stated that since sunset this morning over '5,000 peoplo have been given transportation out ot the city. Tlio railroad companies in tho south and in portions ot tho north, ha vo either sent puss books in blank or notified tlio relief coinmitteo that Its orders will bo hciioied for treo transportation. Throng l tho Danvillo syndicate passes aro issued as far north as Baltimore, whilo many go to Atlanta, Nashville, etc. Tho members ot tho committee say that the best solution of the question of assisting tho destituto sufferers in found in sending them out of tho city. Quito a number of persons who can help themselves or aro of too trilling merit apply for assist ance. Hut assistance is not often refused wlieu requested in tho form of railroad courtesy. The sumo class of imposition is encountered in tlio issuance of orders for rations. Tho line is drawn, and discrimi nation is mndo when it may bo advisablo to get rid ot tlio impostor by sending him or tier out ot tho city. When a strong, nblo-bodied mnn applies tor aid for himself, bo is asked why ho does not go to work, ns thero is plenty for laborers, clearing awny tlio dobris, at from $1.75 to S2 a day. The present reply is: "I am afraid to go to work; I am afraid of quakes." A reporter was told by a member of tho relief committee, this atternooii, that thero aro 10,000 negroes in tho city who claim that they aro too much frightonrd to work. Tho eomuiitteo is growing impatient at thin exhibition of weakness, and aro suspicious of much feigning by indolence. Tho city hall and the ndjaceiit streets havo been filled with destitute sufferers to-day, and iiiuny linger ibout tlio placo to-night. HE KILLED. HIS WIFE.

Charleston Again Shaken and It Citizen Flcclny for Tlielr Hrei. Charleston special of the .Ird: At one minute to 11 o'clock to-nigh another ter rific earthquake shock passed over the city. Consternation again prevails. People camping in the public squares nre singing nnd prnying. Not many eyes closed in restless sleep during the darkness last night. Arrivals on tlio late trains retired to the hotels with trembling, or sat upon chairs upon tho sidowalkB, ready to flee upon the slightest noise. There has been a busy timo to-day, the populace working to clear off the ruins and to nscertain tho condition, and with the work some confidence lias returned. A very few people slept indoors last night. To-night half of them will bo in tho houses. Those who found their homes staunch, enough to shelter them safely nre indoors. It there was cause tor alnrm through fear yesterday, thero was cause for distress to-day. Investigation has revealed tho fact that tho first reports ol tho destruction wero not exaggerated. The buildings ot Chnrleston. taken as a mnss, are wrecked. Ouly a few ot tho new and modern brick, nnd the most sub stantial wooden ones, nre left for habita tion. Great cracks mark the wnll. Scarcely a sound piece of plnte-glass can L found it the city. Many of them hnvo holes in tli centre, ns if penetrated by a musket bull. In some portions ot tho city, particularly about tho battery, where tho most diunngo wns sustained, scarcely a chimney can be found. On tho handsome residence streets) nearly all of tho brick houses aro covered witli stucco and nro mnrked to resemble stone. The wrenching process of tho enrth quako peeled off the stucco and heaped it upon tho sidewalks, spread it over tho shade trees and carried it through tho air in, every part of tho city. In some instanced wholo roofs were dumped into tlio streets. In parts of tho city all the railways at this time aro blockaded by roofs. One of the niostconvincing proofs of tho supernatural power or the shock can bo seen at tlio mar ble works. Firm granite monuments and mnrble, too, some of them two feet thick and not a dozen feet high, wero broken irv twain and are in atoms on the ground. The older brick buildiiiL's w re constructed of a very inferior material. It seems that the bricks were so rough and small as to make tho stucco suruico highly desirable, and instead of locking or hipping thorn ns is done, especially in tlio north, they wero aid in oven rows, furnishing no interlock ing or bracing power. Quito a largo nil m bor of tho business houses stand in canopy shape to-night. The end walls have fallen, leaving the roofs suspended over tho sido walls. These of course will havo to bo con demned by a commission of tho city coun cil and ordered taken down. For a while to day it was believed that a request would have to be made to the gov ernor to convene tho legislature in special session for tho purpose of giving tho city council sufficient authority to condemn diuigeroiiB buildings, but later it was deter mined that siillicientautliority wasalro dy contained in the statutes. Pressure will bo brought to bear on the officers to condemn the buildings, to sparo as ninny as can bo saved by ro nirs. Merchants inform tho correspondent thnt but Tew of the buildings condemned will bo replaced by now ones. There will bo many repairs, however. It io proposed to link the walls together with bolts, and, us many of tho buildings have but two stories, and very few with more than three, the fractured walls can be mndo to stand, provided this is tho last of tho earthquake. Distressing scenes havo beon witnessed all along the railroads leading into Charleston during the last twenty-four hours. Many ot the best-to-do citizens wcro in tho north at the timo of tho shocks, spending tho heated term. Being unable to receive any definite information in regard as to tho ex tent of the loss of eithor life or property, they started on their return. At every stop of tlio train they rushed pell-mell into the telegraph offices, called Tor or sent mes sages, and gave the peoplo along the way tingo of tho excitement. They could learn nothing. Telegrams wcro blanketed up in tho offices here and wero not delivered and in many instances the messages woro not sent. As tho returning citizens noarod Charleston they learned less and less of th true condition of affairs and their suspenso became agonizing. They could not sleep and paced the floors of tho coaches, wring ing thoir hands and evincing painful alarm. Even the outgoing passengers who wor& hailed by those incoming could givo no ac curato or useful information. Only tho most courageous of tlio citizens returned to tho city. Many stopped at suburban plnres and unsatisfactory communication by telephone or telegraph. Up to to-day it was witli difficulty that tho railrond could run trains into tlio city, owing to tho fact that employes, and especially the col ored ones, feared to enter tlio city. THE I.ATUST SHOCK. Washington special: At 11:03 o'clock a heavy shock of earthquake was reported simultaneously from Columbia, S. C. , Chnrleston, S. , Augusta, Ga., nnd Char lotte, N. C. Chnrleston reports it tlioheav iest oxperienco sinco Tuesday night. Occu pants of buildings nro again pouring into tho streets of Charleston, tho printers leav ing nnwspnpor olllcea nnd tho Southern Telegraph company's operators leaving woik, fearing Hint tho building they aro in, which is badly shattered, may fall on them. Telet'i-nphic communication with Charles ton is again cut off. SOME lVASHIXOTOX GOSSIP. Somo of the national banks have bsoi very tardy in forwarding reports of their :ondition, in response to tlio enlls mndo by the comptroller ot tho currency, nnd ib appears that for a long timo past tho pon alty ot 5100 n day for such default hns not been imposed.
