In addition to Ihis evidence of economy-, upwards of live thou : and inilcs of service lave been saved or rendered uiiiicces.-ary in the "late restoration of postal routes in the Slate of Texas alone, and yctjiot otic ltoint formerly touched by mail has been milted.1 This is explained by the fact that for iii ily the iul'S were made so numerous that lit- were iu a great number of instances necessi tated lo Iravi rsc the same roads for many miles, though ultimately diverging for sejKiratc ioinls. I'.v t tiy raeting for service merely from the point v. I i re a route diverges, and not for any part of the di-.incc. traversed by another, this great .-.iVnig has be y accomplished.

" General Grant, accomiuiuicd by Mrs. Grant and part of his staff, will visit New York city early next week and remain there for several days. On former visits he stopped at the Astor House, but will probably select some up town hotel tin this occasion. Col. T. S.

ANI IIOSF1TAI. STORES. It wa estimated just after the close of the re Itcllioii that the medical and hospital stores of the federal army remaining tm hand amounted to altovc tw elve millions of dollars, a large proior lion of w hich were iu stomge at the central dein.it Tn Washington. The recent order f the Surgeon General providing for their disiosal to army of lic i-s and their families at moderate scheduled ptiees h:is caused an aetivcale of those gOow aiintng the persons priilegcd to buy- them, and considerable unfavorable coiumeut from outside jrarlies relative to tle exclusiveness practised in the premises. It is very generally claimed that the tine bargains offered at these sales should not Ik- restricted to the lciicfit of ollicers only, and that if civilians are not admitted to the right of purchase least private soldiers and non-com-mUsioncd officers should have an opportunity, of furnishing themselves from the vast assortment f household goods how offered in common with i hi ir officer, to whom cheapness of purchase is of f.u- less moment' 'rULITICAb MATTERS. Mr. Sumner's theory of apportiouiug rcpresen tulion according to the number of voters excites lively comment and opposition iu his own house hold. He probably never reflected that it would operate more hardly on his own State than on the South. The latter and the New England States will yet act in concert against the West, and on I hi very question and that at no distant day. The Excelsior Club of New York Rrpublicans held another meeting at the UnionXcaguc rooms to-night. There were present : about four hnnd dred Unionists, who want to go home for a day's shooting or bunting at the commencement of No- vcmber, when the election 'occurs, hud thus kill a couple of birds with one stone.; It .was- reported to the meeting that half-fare tickets and furloughs' were, ready for such Republicans as w ished to go home and vote, aud that plenty of ballots would be furnished New York officers, t oldiers and en listed clerks foruseat the polls here, feeveral good speeches were made, endorsing President John son's policy, and unaccountably eulogistic of Gen erals Slocuiu and Patrick; to the, neglect of the heads of their own ticket." However, all the ar rangements arc perfected, and the Excelsior Club w ill go Lome and vote right no' matter what tin y think. " ' THE CASE OF GENERAL IJU-ISCOJ.

A correspondent of a Cincinnati paper, de scribing a recent attack ton ii Government train on tne wcsiem plains, iras rue iojjow- mg as tQ the Indian method ol hghting: Tliey rarely, if ever attack except on horse back ; and each man keeps his horse on the run riding generally in a circljj, so as lo avoid shots, discharging in the meantime ' showers of bullets and arrows, and shouting to stam pede the animals. When a weapon' is point cd at one of them Irc shelters himself almost entirely by hanging over one side of his horse, and from this position continues firing. Dashing suddenly upon a train in this man ner, they can often discharge a great number ot shots before the teamsters, taken by sur prise, and encumbered by tliti care of their teams, can make any organized or enecuvc resistance, and it unsuccesslub in their at tempts to shoot the drivers or stampede the animals, they are often ulMe; to make good their retreat without serious loss. The prin cipal defence against an attack of a lormid, able nature is to form a corral, ' .which fur- T 11. A .

" Although arrow s are still ninch used, many of the Indians are well armed with rifles and revolvers, though some of them at least do not understand the use, of the breech-loading guns, and 'they have I wen kiunvit to have captured west pejus of that descrij)tion, after breaking so as to render them useless. ErisriiKNCK j in a PoliCk Court.

Then he offered a toast : " Guiltyr or not guilty ?" I respdnded in a brief but eloquent speech, setting forth the importance of the occasion that brought its together. After tlie usual ceremonies I loaned the city ten. dollars. Maximilian!
