GOLD RETURNED.

The Treasury Receives Large Sums from New Orleans aud Philadelphia. Washington, Dec. 28.—The treasury department is gradually recovering the gold it lost by the recent heavy shipments abroad, having received $1,500,000 from New Orleans and $1,000,000 from Philadelphia. The heavy disbursements, however, have reduced the net cash to $26,500,000. Pension payments continue to be the chief source of drain, $13,056,000 having been paid out on this account this month. Pension payments will reach $14,000,000 before the month is out. This rate, if continued, will make the pension payments $168,000,000 per annum.
