Scenes at the Hospital.

The scenes at tho Naval Hospital last night when the dead and wounded began to arrive, wore of the most heart rending description. The sufferers ware conveyed to the Hospital in all sorts of vehicles, everything in the shape of a rt, or carriage that ooald bo employed being hired for the purpase, and of course many of them were not, each as would have been employed in such an offlco under other circumstances, and the sufferings of the wounded were beyond description. Many of them were compWelj scilded all ovor their entire bodies, so that very touch and movoment aided to their agony, and their Bhrloka of pain, as their assistants at the Hospital carried thom as tenderly as it was possible to do to the bods hurriedly prepared for thom, wero terrible to hear. The news of the disaster, as such news always does, spread with lightning like rapidity, and in the wake of the long train of vehicles containing the sufferers, came hundreds ol anxious women and coil, dren, each anxious for the fa to of some loved one who was on board. These, of course, had to be kept out or the hospital, but many or them managed to get in by some means, and some of them found husbands or relatives among the sufferers.

Among those who camo in this manner was the wife of the coot, who was at tic same timo tho sister of the Captain's Ehe hurriedly ran among the sufferers see', ing eagerly if tho faces of her husband and brothor were among them. The found herihusband who was terribly ecelded, and just as she had sat down by his side to endeavor to speak to him, the corpse of one of the sufferers who had just then died was borne past, and with a cry of agony she recognized in tho mangled remains her brother. Her husband died a few minuter after. The utmost attention was paid to the sufferers by Sor goon Smith of the Hospital, and his assistants, and Mr, Klrby, the Hospital Bteward, was unremitting in bis attentions last night and to day. rNCTDENTS, ETC.

Tho, cook of the vessel and the captain's boy mention, ed above, were both standing in the cook house at the time the explosion took place, tho cook house being within five or six feet of that portion of the deck tome, diately over the boiler which exploded. On hearing tho noise they both rushed out of the cook house and by doing so both of them met their death, for tho headlong volume of steam which just then rashed up through the broken deck, enveloped them in its scorching folds and they feUbefoie it. JOHS WA'LSH, one of the injured seamcD, states that he wa3 standing in the forward part of the vessel at the time the explosion took place, and by the for of the cancussion air caused by the explosion, he was thrown some twenty feet along the deck, and severely scalded about the hands and aoe, Joseph Mooney, another of the sufferers, was passing near where the explosion took place, and first heard the report which he thought was a cannon being fired off hut almost immediately he was struck by the current air and steam together aed thrown some distance on a hecp of seamen, who bad been thrown down by tho Esme shock. He is badly scalded on tho neck and body, but the phyCciann think he will recover. THE DEiD have all been removed to the dead houso attached to the Hospital, where the Hospital attendants were busy this morning in washing and pi op ring tb em for burial.

Tho bodies present a most sickening spectacle. They were all, without exception, F.rong muscular men. Most of them are horribly scalded all over the body, the akin being completely peele and two of them who were fittng by the force of the concussion against tho sides of the engine room tad their skulls smashed. COS0XIt NOKBIS was on hand early this and visited the Hospital and the vessel on which iho accident occurred. Ho expects to empanne! a jury morrow, but he will no( be able to commence the investigation until Taesdayor Wednesday next.

THE WOTTNDED AT THE HOSPIXAL, with the exception ot John "Walsh, Joseph Mooney and anoihcr, are in a very critical condition and none of them are expected to recover from their injuries. UST OF THE KILLED. John Maher, John "White, 3d Asst. John MurpVy, fireman, Arcb. Fleming, coal heaver, TVjn.

HuBhand discharged, and homo sick from the war. Assisted. Mrs. It. Hushand in tho war; receive nothing from him; has not got bispay; ha: one sick child.

Assisted. Mrs, Husband killed in tho war; turned out of hor apartment for non payment of rent. This poor woman has disease of tho heart; she fainted while telling her sad story. Assisted. Mrs.

O. Husband in the war; has heard nothing from him since last December; has lour small children; a very sad case. Assisted. Mrs. Husband in the war; heard nothing from him since last November; has three small chidreu: oneBick.

Assisted. Wo regret to say that the funds placed at our disposal are now exhausted. Though but a few hunred dollars have been raised, a great deal of good has been done. Coroner Norris very kindly acceded to our request to personally see to the distribution of the fund. The money has been given for the most part to families who are not entitled to the relief given by tho County.

For instance, a soldier is discharged from the army on account of sickness contracted in the service. Ehuematism, pulmonary complaints, and various other diseases superinduced by exposure, prevent the returned volunteer from following his former avocation. Instead of bringing relief to bis family, he is but an additional burthen to them. Nob being in the service, his family are not entitled to the county relief. The sick man requires the constant service of his wife in attending to him, and she is, therefore, unable to perform the work by which, when her husband was absent, she contrived to eke out a scanty living for herself and children.

Such cases as these are dependent entirely upon private charity. It was our intention to get up a fund for the relief, not of the sturdy women who have no delicay in making their want known and personally soliciting assistance, but for the relief oi another class who shrink from making their distress public, and who suffer silently. There are women in Brooklyn to day whose husbands are at the war, who endeavor not to attract sympathy but to shield themselves from observation, struggling on as best they can. "We desired to provide the means of relieving such cases. 'TVe Confess that we have not fully realized our expectations.

We have done oar part; it is for those who boast so loudly of their patriotism, and of their affeclkm and for the soldier, to do theirs. We believe however that we have done some good. We instance the case of one family, consisting of a widow and five children. This lady is well educated, and is indeed what may be called an accomplished woman. Her eldest boy, thirteen years of ager is partially deprived of his eyesight.

He sells Eagles in the afternoon, but his sturdy competitors have so much advantage over him, on account of the loss of his eyesight, that he is able to moke but fifteen or twenty cents a day. The loss of his sight disqualifies him for any situat'on which a boy his years might fill. The next eldect child is a girl of eleven. A scrofulous taint in the blood has been developed by poor food, and' the doctors that generous diet must be relied upon to do that which medicine is powerless to effect. This woman's history has been a succession, of misfoi Umes.

Some time since a brother, the only relative she had living, found her out in Brooklyn. He was a native of Massachusetts, where he was living in comfortable circumstances. He proposed to take 'the family to his home; when the lady was about leaving Brooklyn, she was taken ill, and her brother wrote to her, sending funds to take one of her children (a little girl) to Massachusetts, and telling the mother to dispose of her furniture, live as comfortable upon the proceeds as she could, and when able to move to write to him and he would provide the means for the removal of herself and family to Massachusetts. About the time of her recovery she received a letter from her brother's wife, stating that her brother had died suddenly from apoplexy, and telling her at the same time that it would be necessary for her to send for her child, who had been sent to Massachusetts, and was living with her brother at the time of his death. Her furniture had been nearly all disposed of, and the littls remnant of it was sold to raise money to pay the fare of the little girl to Brooklyn.

The girl a mere child travelled the entire distance alone. This woman is a csmpetent dress Bursting of a Boiler: on Board the Gunboat Chenango. Twenty one of the Crew Killed and Twenty Wounded. ALL THE WOUNNED BUT 3 EXPECTED TO DIE, Terrible Scenes at the Hospital. DESCRIPTION OF THE CHENiXGO.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS. OFFICIAL LIST OP THE EILLBD AND WOUNDED, Yesterday afternoon one of those terrible calamities that almost shake one's very cofidence in divine benevolence, occurred in the waters of oar harbor, sending many men hastily before a dread tribunal without warning, note preparation or alarm. For a 'long time, as is known to our citizens, great efforts have un arailingly been made by the naval authorities to obtain seamen for the various vessels at our Yard, which were ready for service. A fortunate occurrence furnisned them a day or two since "with a large number, so that several vessels were at once manned and directed to proceed to their respective stations. Among them "was the gunboat Chenango, for particulars concerning which we refer to the details below.

Yesterday, with the flag of her country streaming from her masthead, with the smoke and echo of farewell salutes filling the air, she gaily ster.med off from the station, amid the cheering of hundreds of spectators, who wished her and her crew Godspeed, and any quantity of prize money. Alas, but a few short hovrs intervened when the same locality was sounding with the shrieks of the widow, the wailings of ths fatherless, the sad cry of the despoiled. Description of the Vessel. The Chenaneo is of the cPass of double enders, having two bows, and can bo run in either direction the same as the ferry boats running from New York to adjacent cities. She is new, having been built in a substantial manner by Mr.

J. Simonson at his shipyard in Grconpoint. Her dimensions arc 210 feet in length, 35 feet beam, 12 feet depth or hold, 974; tons measurement, and mounts ten guns; of which two are rifled 100 poundera; four 2 inch, two pound howitzers; one smooth bore 12 pound howitzer; and one rifled 12 pounder. THE ENGINE AND BOILERS. The motive power of the Chenango consists of an inclined low pressure engine, with a Etrolce of 8 feet 9 and two boilers placed longitudinally about midships, built and put into the vessel at the Morgan Iron Works, Now "York.

The boilers had bean tested with steam and hydroctatic pressure, and proved their capacity to carry 15 pounds without straining; although at the time of tho explosion there was a force of only S3 pounds. TEE DEPAETUEE. The Chenango was put in commission during the early part of the week, and ordered to proceed Southward yesterday. She is commanded by Lieut Commanding T. Scott FiJlebrown, who for many years occupied an im por porition in tho Navy Yard, and was but recently ordered to active Bea duty.

The officers were pleased with the vessel, and evcrytMng looked bright and pros perous, when about 2 o'clock, P. she steamed from Wallabout Bay, and proceeded down tho river. THE WO BEING OF THE ENGINE. The engine wjs going very smoothly, and when just abreast of Fort Laiayette, tho Commander went into the engine room to satisfy himself as to its performances. Mr.

Cahill, the senior engineer in charge, reported that Bhe worked beantnuUy, and called the attention of the Commander to the indicator, which he said was very good, and that he was perfectly satisfied. All the other engineers, with one exception, were in the engine or fire rooms at the time, and expressed themselves greatly Pleased with the result of their observations. THE EXPLOSION. The commander drew out hva watch and Btated to the Senior Engineer that as soon as they passed the Port, he wished to Ume the speed of the vessel, from that point the Bony off Sandy Hook, which is a distance of eleven miles. Preparations were made to this end, and the commander left the engineer room and proceeded on deck.

Just as he stepped out of the gangway he heard slight report, sounding somettrng like that produced by the falling of a plank upon the floor. His cabin boy wer0 rushing forward, and with his hands upon hia abdomen, screaming terrifically. He was about inquiring into the cause of his agony, when there was a great rush of stesm through all the hatches and crevices, and it became evident at once that a disaster hai occurred on board. Immediately thereafter a number of men came ashing on the quarter deck, shrieMng' with pain and laboring under the greatest rgony, while at tho same time they were teartng the clothing from their persons. The bo nior engineer was carried up and reported to the com mander that the port boiler had burst.

The poor men were identically running about, not knowing what to do their intense sufferings. THE VESSEL ON TIKE. At this time it was discovered that the felting on the top of the boiler had caught fire, and there being inuae" diatc danger that a hoirlblo death in another form await" cd those on board, the officers ordered the UTi'njurcd part of the crew to suppress the rising flames. Mean while the sufferers were necessarily leit to themselves They were running about decks, hither and thither, tearing their clothes, and manifesting other evidences of their dreadful condition. THE 3JBAYEEY.

OF THE CEEW manifested itself at this juncture. There was no unusual excitement, but each men did tho duty he was told to perform with the greatest calmness and gallantry. It was owing to this fact that the flro was suppressed as speedily as it was. SIGNAL OF DISTRESS AND ASSISTANCE. The Commander promptly made signal for assistance which was promptly responded to by Capt, Bourne of the TJ.

S. Transport Tilley, irom Alexandria. The Tilley took the Chenango in tow with commendable promptness and steamed up the Narrows. Tho Itovenue stoamer Bronx and the Harbor Police boat camo alongsido immediately nfterward and towed tho vessel, while the Bronx proceeded to Quarantine for medical aid. Three or four physicians were soon on board the ill fated vessel and rendered ovory assistance in their power.

THE U. S. STEAMTDG EOSE going down the Bay was signalled to come alongsido, when all the unfoi tunatoa wero placed on board and sent with dispatch to the Navy Yard. Thence they were con. veyed to the Marino Hospital, where everything possible was done for them.

THE CAUSE AND THE EFFECT. There were 33 pounds of steam on at the time of tho explosion. The force going upward, rent the boiler nearly in two about the centre, heaving up tho decks to the extent of about three feet, displacing a heavy beam, and raising the hatches. It is evident without official examination that thig deplorable accident was caused by the insertion of a defective pieco of iron in the boiler. There can be no other reason; no other part of the vessel is injured.

Tho engino had an excellent draft and there had been no necessity up to tho timo of the catastrosphe to put the blowers into operation. THE TTTTTtn ENGINEER. Third Engineer Sullivan was at the bell in tho pilothouse at the timo of the explosion, and aa soon aa he became aware of what had occurred, he ran down into the engine room through a dense fog of steam, and, regard lers of his life, opened the safety valvo, and thus the engino was stopped and further disaster avoided. Had thia not been loss'W life would much more fearful than it was. THE SENIOE ENGOTEEB, Mr.

Cahill, since dead, was so dreadfully scalded that the slun of his right hand, including the nailB of his fingers, was stripped off like a glove. It was subsequently found entire, lyiog near the engine, THE OFFICEES AND CEEW of the Chenango numbered in all one hundred and thirty eight, of which 21 were killed and 20 injured. I OF OFFICERS.

Fuller, This Paper has the largest Circulation of anr Evening Paper published in the United States. Its value as an Advertising Medium, is thereiorc apparent. The Military Sitnation. The news from Tennessee, published by us yesterday, is discouraging less perhaps from the actual loss sustained at the hands of the enemy than from the evidence which it affords of tie lack of ability on the part of the military authorities. The rebel general Forrest, with a comparatively insignificant force at his disposal, is operating within Stales in which the rebel power was supposed to have been broken, with perfect impunity.

A week ago he attacked Paducah, plundered the people and marched off unmolestad. He returned again and found as before that our generals had made no preparations to resist Irm. It seems that there is no cavalry force at our disposal either in Kentucky or Tennessee capable of resisting FoiTest. The "seatteration" policy is the order of the day in the West, and we believe there are men enough in Arkansas and Louisiana keeping up the farce of Stale and engaged in operations of no nrlits importance, to defend any place of importance in Tennessee, and to protect the people of Kentucky. After plundering the people of Paducah, Forrest marched upon Fort Pillow, which wan occupied by a very small force, though in a military point of view the place is of great importance.

Fort Pillow was captured by our gunboats in May, 1862. It was held to be the key to the defence of Memphis, whichis sistymiles below. Mompbis was shortly afterwards evacuated. Fort Pillow teems to have been very resolutely defendedby our forces, who refused twice to surrender. The place was carried by force.

The rebels will hardly atlompt to hold it. It is known that Forrest is on his way to Memphis, and it is feared tiu.t no successful resistance can be offered to him at that point Memphis has been the base of supplies for operations in the West, and cont jns a large amount of Government stores. To secure these is probably Forrest's main purpose. If the telegraph reports can he relied upon the capture of Fort Pillow was accompanied by great atrocity on the part of the enemy. It is said that women and children, even, were slaughtered.

Forrest twice demanded the surrender Of the Fort, and was twice refused. The resolution to defend it to the last, however commendable, necessitated the capture of (he place by force. Under such circumstances, it is usual to ask for the privilege of removing non eombatents, but there is no account of any such request being made. For the honor of our common manhood, it is to be hoped that if women and children suffered by the resolute conduct of the commander of the fort, it was unfortunately rendered inevitable. War is horrible enough when conducted according to the mles of civilized warfare, and when glorifying over the pouring of Greek fire into the populous city of Charleston, we must riot forget that retaliation is provoked by it, and that in the end both sides suffer from the infraction of the rules by which civilization curbs the fury of war.

The despatch detailing the atrocity of the rebels at Fort Pillow is not consistent with itself, and we trust it will be found to be exaggerated. It is impossible to believe anything like the following: Two negro soldiers, wounded nt Tort Pillow, were "buried by tie rebels; "but ait'jrwards worked themselves out of their jraves. They were onion; those brought up in the Platte VuJicy, and are now in hospital at Hound City. The steamer Platte Valley here referred to was hailed by the rebels, who sent the prisoners in their hands by her, and this fact alone tends to throw discredit on the story of cruelty. The news from Virginia indicate that the next great battle may be looked for in that section.

Grant, for the first time, will be brought in conflict with the ablest of the rebel Generals. Our army is reported to be in fine condition, lee is in full strength and has concentrated all his forces, abandoning to that end East Tennessee for the present. From the West we learn that Johnston is massing a large force in front of our army at Chattanooga. Polk's division has returned, a great portion of Beauregard's forces lias been drawn from Charleston, added ta which all the conscripts that could bo collected together in Georgia have been ordered to the front It is believed that Johnson will attack our forces as soon as Lee is attacked in Virginia. The advantage of generalship is with the rebels still, we fear.

It would be better by far to abandon active operations west of the Mississippi, until the two great battles now at hand are decided. We have expeditions out in all directions in Texas, Arkansas, but the power of the rebellion is where its concentrated armies are. Stirring news may be expected both from Virginia and Tennessee at any moment. The Fnud for the Relief of the Soldiers' Families.

HULL'S POETIC SPEECH. THIS EVENING'S PROGRAMME IN ENGLISH, Several Things of Interest. "Xhb Beetches," April 16, 18GL. My wife and I are great lovers of harmony. So we bought of our friend and physician, Dr.

Hull, (no charge for this notice) a couple of tickets for the Philharmonic concerts. The tickets entitle admittance to tho rehearsals as well. Test Wednesday we saw by the huge posters about tho Btrect that the last rehearsal was to be given; that Miss Clara Louise Kellogg was to sing, Mr, to soloize on the Piano, and Mr. Elsfeld to do wonder with his orchestra. It rained great guns, but having paid our money wo were entitled to our choice, and we chose to go.

We arrived late, and rather than disturb the audience we went to the amphitheatre. We eat down in our wet clothes, struck our attitudosand ried to listen. Behind us were five sixteen year old boy hatted girls nd two pretty Poly technic youths in buttons. At first the girls were considerate and whispered hut re they ell didit at the samotime it made quite a noise. After a little they dropped the cuavi'xr and took up the Jabber, jabber, jabber.

"Sally said this "Jamie said the other "Stop Frank' "Come Charley, please give me that picture," "Don't you Urnk Mbtj Jocks sweetly io day," and soon through an cver lasting scale of noncence, until my wife whoisattime3 given to nerve, turned around and looked at them. Ohthatlookl It reminded me of our early days when dined and wined at a club and got home late, not dreading a storm oh no, but terribly in fear of the great and certain calm. However tho girls laughed at her, and one of the little boys asked her if she wanted anything. We arose, took up our umbrella and walked. We reached the balcony just in time to see the benevolent Wyman enter the Director's box with a veiled lady.

We, everybody, thought it was Miss Kellogg, and en with our glasses to penetrate her veil, but 'twas no use. So we listened to. 'the symphony. It didn't' seem funny very long, for wo soon discovered that four of the prettiest Clinton street walkers were in the row before us, with well balanced tongues, and a beau. Musk and patchouli filled the air with dead fragrance, the young ladies, we say ladies, because they wore store clothes, discoursed concerning Brig noli as they called the ugly mugged tenor, who, having lost his voice has noth ing but his legs to commend him.

Annoyance is no word for the sensation experienced by u. Suddenly, in a ten forCe passage, the big brass trumpets snarled out fearful noise, resembling the death yells of any number of mad dogs. Cuick as a flash says I to my wife, says "my dear, whet article in a dry goods store do you think would best suit the necessities of these jabberers behind us and a mad dog?" She gave it up. "Honslin," (muzzling) said "Go long," Baidshe after which we were in tolerable good humor. I felt no particular interest in the third movement of the symphony wherein Beethoven makes a boast of Hb being able to scJierzo pvesto as to astonish his friends.

I don't doubt if ho and I had been out bathing and a heavy storm had come up, I could shirt, and for that matter drees entirely just aa sudden as he or any other man. Eesides, I don't think its proper to enter into details before a largo audience. So I looked around upon the people. Away down in front I noticed a sweet faced girl who always site in the same place, and generally with hor head resting upon her hand. I have often remarked her, and thought she must be one of those congenials and all that sort of thing who find in music a perfect Heaven; and in the 7th symphony a Beethoven.

One was that school boys and girls who don't know better than to talk at a rehearsal ought to be spanked till they'ro red in the face.

TIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS. The Trouble in Naval Enlistments. TJ. 8. Naval Sendzzvous, Noi 189 Count i 1 Brooklyn, April Iff, 18C4.

To flic Editor of the Broofdyn Eagle Sib An artidn in vrrtir toitim TAftterdnv heaflftd "Jnvnl Enlistments," "A Singular Story," does me great injustice, and is calculated to throw odium on this office which is entirely unmerited. Mr. Devlin, it seems, has taken offence because he was ordered to leave this office. Tho facts are simply theso: The hour for business at tho Rendezvous had passed, and shipping for the day had been discontinued. I was engaged in consultation with some of tho Bounty Committee of the Board of Supervisors, when Mr.

Mr. Malady and a young man came into the office. When I first saw them, Mr. ue vim ana mr. jaaiaay were engagea in a noisy altercation.

Mr. Malady said he knew the Tonne man's moth er was living, and accused Mr. Devlin of bringing him hero to ship him with out her consent Loud and threatening words followed, and as I could not allow the decorum of thie office disgraced by any such noisy exhibition, I ordered them to leave and settle their quarrel usonucw. viuu mui wuu uusca uj snap mo noy; the xrentiemonboinir'so wrant mi in their nnnrrni that that was forgotten. Even bad Mr.

Devlin brought the boy at the proper time, when tho other officers of the rendezvous were present, I cculd not have shipped him in the face of Mr. Malady's statement that his mother was living law of enlistment in the case of eucu minors requiring either the mother's' presence or her sworn consent in writing. I have never to my knowlege bevu uuy oi ui parties ouueeraea oeiore. Xf Mr, Devlin cannot act with the decorum which becomes a gentleman, he must oxoect to be treited accord. ingly but it is my duty to maintain, as far as possible, the dignity which should' belong to an office of the Government Most Your obedient servant, Elijah Ross.

I recollect that when Sun. McGrath and I were in Capt. Boss's office on the afternoon of the there was an altercation between two men in regard to a bo v. and that Capt Boss ordered them out as he would allow no quarreling or wrangung in his oihee. Tins was after the hours of closing business.

JAQtrxs a. Supr. To Qit Editor of fht BrooTdyn Eagle In vonr tmner of Aoril 14th is ft eommnnififi tion from John Devlin, V. 8. Assessor of the 6th Ward ngures I desire to state that the statement made by Devlin ia false in everything except the unon.

maae Dy mm co emist tne ooy anaexas. xno statement made by him in regard to Capt Boss not consenting to enlist the boy Shields until they settled with me, is a miichievouB ialsehood. The facts of the case are that the boy Shields desired to enlist; he informed me that he was under age, and an apprentice to a man on Myrtle avenue. This information I communicated to the cfBcer in charge of the rendezvous. This interference on my part invoked the wrath of this patriotic end disinterested government official.

When Devlin found that my interference had checked the imposture ho was about perpetrating one which has given the Government and the friends of minora a world of trouble, his disappointment got complete control of bis tongue. Knowine him well bv refutation. I felt it mv dufcv to re freah bis memory a little on matters that he could hardly i.uit:u iuu uiucerin uuuru ujub. exceptions to our wrangling in the office, and ordered whole party to leave pnd settle their differences outside.

Treatment of Brooklyn Boys. To the Editor of ffte Brooklyn, Eagle: In your paper oi this evening I have read the account of the steamer Fairhaven, and of the treatment of our ''Brooklyn Boys." I had relative on board that vessel, anu ms letter me last ween corrooorates your description in every par ticular. I have also another to day dated Norfolk, lQth. inat and he says: "I have not leit aonoiK yet; we are in very naa quarters an old church. We have not once been able to change our clothes sinco we left Hart's Island; have no convenience even to get the luxury of a good wash, and our rations are a small loaf of bread and a cup of coffee per day.

One of the reporters got wind of our inhuman treatment and raised old Harry in the papers about it; some of the guardians were arrested in consequence, after investigation. So the liberty of the press is a great institution, and our boys fervently pray that its shadow may never decrease. I am certain there are 200 desertions out of 400 men sent down here some, I hear, have gone to the Kebs. others to New York; proper treatment would have kept overy man to his duty. We were well cared ior on nart's isiana ana maae comxorcaDie, ana aue worthy son of your worthy Chief (Folk) does notfonret Brooklyn boy when he has a chance.

He ia adjutant on Hart's Island. Here we are treated very badly indeed, uuu a pray 10 utxi we may awu get oat oi tais." As Old StmscntBEB, Brooklyn, April 13. The Ridgewood RailroadCard from Jtlr. Cooper To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle See In my remarks at the meeting held on the llth instntBev. Dr.

Cuyler's church in opposition to the Bidgewood Bailroad bill introduced into tho Senate by Senator Strong, I do not wish to be understood as charging that the Senator Kai 7 noiiring'y or mado statements not in accordance' with. Xict, but that either through want of correct information or lack of local knowledge, nr from some cause unknown. Senator Rro no bad stated orally and in writing to me, that the said Bxad was proposed to do jam omy ior a iew dioces on Avenue whereas the route in the biU'in question introduced and advocated by said Senator is to run for twelve blocks on said Avenue, and these blocks contain the most vaiuame property tnereon. It is not mrintcntion and was not then my desire to charge that these representations were mado knowingly and vdlfuriy. I simply state the facts as they occurred and am willing to leave the inference to be drawn therefrom to the public.

For my part I am desirous to place me most lavoraoio construction on wio lueia. Respectfully yours, J. P. Cooper. Brooklyn, April 16.

The proposition of the Eagle to care for soldiera families, is a move in tho right direction.

It reaches the soldiers' hearts, and has their approbation beyond ony other relief that can be given them. BANK MATTERS. The new Bank Bill to be reported will not pass. It has the same feature in it as tho one that failed special privilege lor the Bant of Commerce which had much to do with the defeat of the old bilh It is now in now for but tho same in principle. The attendance of membem on.

both sides of the Houso has improved of late. The press has stirred thom up to diligence. Mr. Henry Sheldon of Brooklyn has returned from his visit to Potomac army in behalf of tho Christian Commission of your city. Otje Local Associations.

There are many literary and social associations in this oity whose progress during the past five years has been marked with overy indication of prosperity. Some of them are virtually private, others semi public, othera open to any who may chooeo to patronise them. Prominent among the more public instirutions aro the Mercantile library, tho Long Island Historical Society, and the Art Association. These, under certain rules, are public institutions, in whoso prosperity every citizen has a certain interest, and which are at liberty to appeal at any time to tho generosity and support of theentire community. No one of thom is at present suitably lodged or efficiently supported, and we are glad to notico that the new board of directors of the Mercantile library Association have initiated their terms by a hearty movement towards the procuring of a suit ablo edifice ior tho accommodation of their largely in' creased membership.

They proposo to raise by sub. Bcription $160,000 from the citizens of wealth, which shall be invested in a building and a library fund. The Board shows its confidence in the project by giving individual donations aggregating the handsome sumof as a nucleus, and have issued through a responsible committeo' an appeal to their fellow citizens to fall into tho ranks and do likewise. "While commending most heartily this plan, wo desire to submlt( for the consideration of all concerned, a suggestion which seems to us pertinent and practical. The three associations above named in no way conflict with one another; on the contrary, the success of tho one Is a stimulus to the othor, and their common prosperity an evidence of the growth of tho community.

"Why can they not harmonize upon a plan which shall at once serve their purposes and ornament the city We suggest that committees or conference, three from each at tho very outside, be appointed by tho three societies, which shall bo empowered to discuss tho intentions of tho several bodies, and, if possible, set forth someprojeotby which the three can issue a joint appeal to tho public for funds with which to erect an edifice imposing in its exterior, commodious and suitable internally. Possibly the best way would be for one association to build the academy or whatever, tho, others to bo tenants. This detail, however, is not germain to the discussion tho building 1b what we desire to secure; a building largo enough to afford ample accommodation to the libraries) the reading rooms and the galleries of tho several institutions interested. "Wo have no doubt that $300,000 can be raised for the purpose, and that a building of which Brooklyn may be proud can be raised from the munifl cenco of her sons. maker, and before her sickness supported her children nicely.

She had to move to mean apartments, her furniture had been disposed of, and in her shabby tenement her former customers would not visit her. A few days ago she was ejected for non payment of rent, and at the time her case was brought to our notice, she had just moved into other apartments, from which she will have to move again on the 1st of May. We have been instrumental in raising for her about, $30, and there is to day a gleam of sunshine, brighter than any the sun itself emits, in a home which was very desolate. By a private fund very much good can be accomplished. If but a dozen families like to this one can be helped through it, those who contribute to the fund will have ample reason to be satisfied.

It is only necessary to add that the fundB at our disposal are ezhansted, and that for the present application to Coroner Norris for relief is useless. We understand that a meeting of citizens will be called to get up an organization for the relief of those who are not entitled to tho share in the relief disbursed by the local and mainly to succor those whose circumstances shall be personally known to those who may be entrusted with the distribution of any money which may be raised. We know of no ocasion upon which the benevolence of our citizens was invoked, that Mr. Hooley, the proprietor of Hooley's Minstrels, was not among the first to respond. He has provided our people with a means of innocent amusement, and success has attended his efforts.
