Tho Dift The Government and the Local Authorities. It is now understood that the government will soon issue a call for throo hundred thousand men, to fill the vacancies caused by the expiration of tho terms of service of tho three years' regiments, and to keop the army up to an efficient standard. A draft will toko place about the 1st of July, furnish the men under this call, unless, as is highly improbable now, tho quota shall, bo raised by voluntary enlistments, In view of this impending draft, it is time, that our locaf. authorities came to some understanding with the government. At present they are playing at cross purposes.

The governmont orders a draft for men, and the local authorities raise money to buy them off, by paying their commutation. Thero must be 3'omo limit to the burthens thus imposed upon the taxpayers, and the impending draft will be for a much larger number of men than was required at the two previous drawings. The government, we take it, want men must have thorn; by taking advantage of the commutation clause to exempt DBAFNES3. CATAKRH, DI8CHABQK3 FHOSI THK BAB, NOISES IN THE HEAD."

In thia 'capacity Mr. Howard's peculhif tale nts shono forth with Tenowcd lustre. His fame went abroad through tho City of Chtirckos as tho anthnr nf manv cood tbinss. and aa a xorawho oould give largo odds to tho other Brooklyn new hpaper etuiors BDet reporters, anu ueuti. uieiu vui, especially in reporting political eauensea of tae Republi banal where reporters wore not admitted.

the air held In the Academy ot Music, at Brooklyn, Mr. Howard wrote for the Eac.le thoso amusing, viscious, and facetiouB letters eigned "Dead Beat," a. oognomon uneler which hu also about the oletropolitan Fair ot this city. Pcriectiy familiar with nearly overy man employed in tho ijfhces of tic city papers, and withal a man of education, who bad coon a greut doal of human nature, his experience in tlio profession was such as to lead the detectives to believe ho might have pcrpotratod tho bogus Frocioroation bojx. Be this as it may he was "spotteu," his and associates inquired about, and other mtertntins dota'la discovered of his proceedings on the night ot the 18th of May, and subsequently, aa to induce the olllcsra to call upon Genorsl Dix, and lay beToro him thoir "Report." Tho GanoraL who was a good lawver boforo he hocamo a soldier, was satisfied with the proofs presented, and immediately signed an order for the arret of Mr.

Howard Armed with thia document Officers McDougalb and Radford, of tho Do tcctive Police, accompanied by Deputy Marshal Tooker, returned to Brooklyn, and accomplished tho ar rest ot air. Joseph Howard, ol tuo juoi.e, on tno cnargo of writing and uttering the bogus proclamation," for publishlng which, two oi our local newspapers wore suspended, and placed in charge of United 8tatcs troop3. Howard waa immediately cemveyed to Fort LaFayottc, and rumors are rife that on his way thithor he inade a clean breast" of the whole matter, Implicating half a dozen other persons, soni' of whom are well known among the Block brokers of this city. Owing to tho reticence of officials very littlo information could bo obtained. The arrest was male very quietly, ond although Mr.

Howr rd hasbithertoeujoyed tho friendship ot Rev. Henry Ward Eeecber, and other prominent men belonging to Plymouth Church, ho was not allowed to communicate with them. Mr. Howard's wife wa3 almost dis traoied wheat the tidings were conveyeel.to her, of tho arrest of her husuand, and it was pitiable to witness tho grief of this estimable laelv, and tho friends of the prisoner, when they became coaviuced that Mr, Howard was actually on his way to Tort LaFayette. Howard is between thirty five and forty years of use, tall aud thin.

HiB fecturea would bo called handsome, and are improve I by jet thick moustaches aui hair, although it formB but a thin covering, over that portion of his cranium whero thebraina of the man are deposited.

A ht the costume of the man who has been made jnnnoujia connection with the late sensation ctnicerriing the bogus Proclamation." In poli tics Mr. Howard was a Republican. It remains to be seen what elisposition will be made of him, if he is found guilty of tho serious charge brought against him, Ho is reported as having told one of the officers that tno whole thong'wns only got up as a joko upon the newspapara.

It will doubtless be found a very sorry joko to Mr. Howard end his (From the Tribuno.) Tho prisoner it ia stated acknowledged that he dictatod the proclamation with a riew to operato on tbo stock markotin this city and in Europe. Ho was immediately sent to Fort Layfaette, Itls also rnraored "that Howard had intimated several days ago that ther would bo a Budden change in the money market, and opportunit'os would be afforded for making fortunes. In couscquonco of these rercarns which had 'been made prior to publication of the Proclamation, ho was suspected of. having wiitten the document, and Mr.

Kennedy Superintondent of the police department, Gen. Dix, and Marshal Murray immediately sent out tyjwork up tho cico." Ihey ascertained that he had purchased tissue paper BUt'h as is used by marifoid writers; that a Brooklyn boy had been employed to d. liver tho so called despatch and that tho prisoner was in the city at a late hour on Tuesday. Howerd ia well known to bo a dashing and eomewhat reckless feBcw in his way, roady to supply on short notice any sort of sensation that might be desired. That he concucted thist grat fraud, unprompted and unaided is not probable iitismcro likely that, if ho is inculpated at all, ha has mado the tool of partieB of more consequence.

The handful of men now remaining out of the twelve hundred brave spirits 0f tho of the lith Eegimeut, who eft here nearly three years ago, eyery one of them the hero of a iiundred battles, is doily expected to arrive in this city. Their time was nearly up and they were expected home before the recent series of sanguinary battles, but when thero was any fighting to be done the Idth never wanted to be counted out, and the consequeneo was that the small remnant of the most gallant regiment this side of the Confedaracy, was made smaller. A few weeks sinca, in anticipation of their arrival, the Common Council ap propriated a small sum of monay to provide a suitable reception for them, and the other, military organizations of the city are now beginning to take tho matter up. 'Wo believe both the brigades of militia of this city will parade on the occasion, and the 14th Begiment Veteran Society are making the best propara tions in their power to celebrate the ovont Small Change.

In Brooklyn the Union Ferry tickets havo been a great convenience, passing curreit throughout the city at the rate of two for three cents; the 'VTilliamsburgh Ferry tickets, circulating in the Eastern District at two cents. But for these substitutes for currency' retail business would have been greatly embarrassed.

SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

Base Ball Thb Union Practice Games. Although we have endeavored to make the object of arranging theso Union Practice Games aa plain as possible, it appears that by some they are regarded with jealous eyeo, as only adapted to benefit one or two clubs in particular at tho expense of the rest. Unfortunately there are too many individuals in the ball playing community who nover can see anything in its proper liyht that is not immediately connected with'their own pot club, and it is this over jealous and eelfiBh minority who are the chief promoters cf nil tho jealousy and ill feeling that exists between membeiB of rival organizations. TL cy ara nover pleiacd tc eec anything dono, or hear of anything said, calculated to beneht any club but their own, and hence their opposition to just such arrangements as lead to games siaiilar to the Prize Match on the Star Grounds, whiah take 3 place tc day. "None of our members are goin to play in any such game as that, you know," says one fellow, who thinks the club he belongs to, tho greatest in the cduntry, and himself it3 bent player; and similar expressions are nscd by other prejudiced people who aro "down upon anything in which they do not take a prominent part.

Fortunately, however, the majority of our players, or rather the members of onr clubs, aro composed of moro Ben'rjiblepeorle, or otherwise those whft all they can topromoto the oesi interests of tho cauio. unci tv make it a popular and permanent institution, might doa pair of ever attaining their object. Thesopractico games are simply nothing more nor less thaD substitutes for th useless aixi "uninteresting games ordinarily played on practice Guys by our first class clubs. It has been suggested, timo and again, to those clubs who desire to excel as playing clubs, that they dovote one day in a week or even once a fortnight, to practicing their men together as a whole against the field; but as yet, not a solitary club has ever practised their "best players together in this way, not evtn for a singlemonth out of evory season. It ia this neglect on tho part of our ciubs, to improve the character 01 the practice games on their club grounds, that has led to the arrangement of these Uni Practioo Game3.

In no sense are they club matches, and in no way are those who play in them to be considered as rep rescntatrves of their cIudb, but only as individual players. One of these games, we will day, is arranged to take place on the Excelsior, or Atlantic, or Eclrford grounds, end, by the rule adopted for tho playing of such games, none bnt first nine players are selected to take part in it. Inrder to attain the object in view tho boat nine of the club on whoso grannd the game ia played is placed in opporition to a misted nine Aa on incentive) lor exertion a BertCB of prizes are put up to he. given to'tfioao making the best display at the bat and in the field, no matter whether they boon the losing or winutbg side. If the club nine happens to win no other club loses crod it for tho defeat abstained by the opposito aide, and ahould tno chub side be defeated they, too, ara not affected by tbe loss of the game, for the whole aflair is nothing more a practice game, aa far as the defoat or victory is concerned, but in other respects the game is not only made intexesiing to spectators, but exceedingly "beneficial, as far as practice goes, to all the players who take part in it, and especially so to the chib nine who play aa a whole, for instead of being opposed to a nine they are sure of defeating as on ordinary practice days, they have against them a set of players that will put them on their best play to defeat them.

What pogsible or reasonable pbjections can there be to such games aa these, except such aB are suggested by a selfish jeiiliiusy or pitiful spite against a club that in in the way of their path to victory. We have been anthorized to arrange thaw prize games on tho Capitolino grounds, on the Union grounds and on the new Coney Island bail groan da, and if tho clubs that occupjr the two former desire to have enjoyable and useful prtctiee yimies once a in place of the tame and useless style of practice now vguo, all they havo to C.G id lo etfctc the fact, ahd prize game on each of their 'club grounds xr arranged according to tho rules adopted for the same, which rules are calculated to benefit one club as much as another. The idea waa to benefit ail the clubs for the sake of the game and the Star club was the first to have benefit of the arrangement, simply because they were the first to begin jday for tho.seasou. Tha experimental geme or tc day will decide whether any more these games dto to be played or not. If tbinge work well the serieB will be continued on other ball grounds; if they do not the Star grounds alone will be tho locality of all future matches of the kind.

It should bo remembered that each game iB under the entire control of the club on whose ground it is playod, with the exception of the three tonditions of its beiug a fly game, of none but first nine players being the contestants and' of ton players being on a side. Each nine chooses their captain, ond the club on whose grounds tho match is pUyed place their own players on one side. Atlantic vs. Eagle. A match has boon arranged to take place between the amateur' players of these clubs on tho Capitolino grounds, at BudforJ, on June Ibt.

THE ARREST OF MR, HOWARD.

Mr. Joseph Howard, formerly Vfaak inglon correspondent of the Tribune, more li.tely Ci'y Editor of the A. Times and for some months in charge of ft subordinate depnrtaont of the Eagle, was arrested yesterday afternoon by order of TJ. S. Marshal Murray, and sent tc Fort Lafayette, on a charge of being the gettex up of tho bogus proclamation of the President appointing a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, and calling for four hundred thousand men.

All the information we havo been enabled to obtain in relation to the matter is gleaned from our many, cotemporaries, and herewith, as follows (From tho K. Y. Times.) He (Howard) has acknowledged tho fact, and was sent down Inst evening to Fort Lafayette. He Baid he had no other motivo except to maKca little money on the Stock Exchange, and that it nover occurred to him that his periorxnonco could produce any more important or serious effect. It seems that something liko a wcolc ago Howardcon sulted Mr.

Kent, member or tho firm of Kent Clapp, brokers, as to tho probable effect on tho market of a proclamation calling for 300,000 more men. Mr. Kent gETO him his opinion, and subsequently Howard showed him the draft of a proclamation which he claimed to know, through secret channels of intelligcncj at Wash tue trortu ana journal oj uemmerce on Wednesday morning, Mr. Kent at once identified the published proclamation with tho dmlt which Howard bad shown him, and gave information of tnc to (ion, nix. nowara was arrested una Drougnt co tno ueuerai noaa Quartci yesterday afternoon, where he at onco maae a lull acknowledgment of his agency in tho matter, and exculpated aU the newspapers, which he eocceoded in victimizing, from aiiy connection with it, directly or in diiectly.

Ho employed another person, whoso name we believe is Mbrrissey, to make the copies which were sent to the press. ItiB reported that several other persons were cognizant of the proceeding, and also mado it tho betas of speculative operations in gold. But Howard, wo understand, conies that any person was at aU implicated with him in the transaction. Howard had been connected In various capacities with several of the City newspapers, the T'mes and Tribune among them, and had thUB acquired a knowledge of their routine of business which was of service to bTm in this imposition upon them. fProm the Herald.

The evidence was found to be conclusive against th.9 accused as early as one o'clock yesterday morning; but the arrest was delayed until halt past three o'clock in tho afternoon. Major Gencral Dix then isaaod an order directed to United States Marshal Murray, who detailed Deputy Marshal Tooker to act with detoctivo Radford and Wct ougal in making arrest. The officers proceeded to tae cfiice of the Brooklyn EiOXE, this is a mistake, Howard was notarrested at this office and iound the uccused, to wham they stated their businans, tolling him that they had tho most conclusive evidence of his guil. and that they had traced the origin of tho matter to im through several different sources. Howard appeared like one thunderstruck, and as tho dotcctiveB detailed point after point to him in tho chain of testimony they had gGthcied he appeared bewildered, and at once confessed his guilt.

He was immediately conveyed to Fort lalayctte. The prisoner's motive in promnlgaUnff the forgery, so far as himself wa3 concerned, appears to have boon merely to advance his own interests. His means wore limited to a had used auchasho hadin the Btock gambling operations in Wall street. Not being altogether in the rinff, he becamo a loser, and saw him self on the vergo ot rum, through some unfortunate. tpixiiiauoijainro wuicn no naa oecn inauceu to embark.

'Jhe idia entered his mind that a well devised story, tb.it would send a chill over tho entire nation, already getting exuberant over the victories of General Grant, would be sure to send up gold and stocks, and if he could manage to buy for tho riso ho would pock a snug prodt. To do this ho was obliged to lend himself to the designs of other gamblers oa desperate as himself, and even more unscrupulous; thoso who had a two fold object in v'. nrt, to make money, and second, to the Union cause abroad. Hence tho selection oi "Wednesday morning (steamer day) for the publication, 'the long iamuiarity the accused had with the operations of the Now York press and his minute knowledge of tho usages and workings of the Associated Press, and the manner in which their telegraph matter was propared and delivered, enabled him to conduot the aff iir most ucccBsfully. He knew that so important a rnattor as a "Proclamation by the President," coming' in at an hoiir of the morning just beforo th moment of going to press, when Bcccnde even aro moro valuable than grains of cold, could not have that careful attention which would have been given it at an earlier houi of tho night and he selected that moment for the delivery of 4he bogus Clspatch.

it be a ranocs fact lor the public to learn though j' not astonish them mucb tbat the accuBod has lora li nw nine rmfct been an activo member of Plvmouth chnrch, Uiooldn, and that his fathutis a deacon there el, ma that he hu aat under the drippings of FatheT Eeecltr's atnciuaij, and enrio'ied the columns of tho iiiilcjiTiiiirr with sketches of the prominent members of the editoi 'a shop." The reullig publio ara jjiaij conversant with tho egotistic, not to say bombastic, "Eeward of the Times," which glared out in flaunting capitals as a preface to hi's articloa in the weekly pa pus. Hie career as a reporter of the public press" has nol teen a long one. His influence from Plymouth ihurch mote than his ability, it is said, procured him his position ts city editor the 2'imes a place which ho did not lone ictaiii. What he was previous to that is of little im poi tMice to know. His crowding net is sufficient to give the hue impress of his character, as it has been made by a fcuperabundonco oi egotism, a superficial education, snd a brain completely turned by tho infatuation of Wall Pirn gambling, and manipulated by the most dospente Well street gamblers.

What the government may ulti do with him is at present unknown. Por tho lin teing he will be held in Fort a solitary prisoner, cn soluitr's rations. From the N. T. Daily News.

Tic Bcpvt PrcclrnnatimArrat of iti Author He w.13 TmmtTlg Frni itnt of the Brooklyn Ycung hU.x't Itc ZUbtican Association Confession of Joseph Howard, Jr.Ue it sail to Fori Lafayette. Ever since. the appearance of tho bogus Proclamation printed in the World and Journal ofComtmrce, the Government offcials, in connection with U. S. Marshal Murray and the Dotective Police, havo been parliea lirly active, in their efi'orta to ferret out the perpetrator of the ulrpcioUB hoax.

Yesterday afternoon information was obtained, lrom sources we ore not at liberty to divulge, whiih led the orhcers to believe that the proclams was tho produciion of the fertile brain of a well known htcratcur, none other than Joseph Howard, Jr City Editor oi the Brooklyn Eaole. This fact was cdm rx.nr.icoted to General Dij, who immediately made oat an order lor the arrest oi Howard. The order was givon to Marshal Murray for execution, and he detailed Deputy Marshal Tooker to carry out tho mandate. At about i o'clock p. IT.

Marshal Tooker, accompanied 1 Detectives Mclrougal and Radford of this city took Lire into custody. The prisoner seemed quite durabfoun tu cl at the tight of the offioers, and when they charged him with the fahncatijn of the bogus document which brB ciused such rn excitement in tho city, he mado a lull confession of bis complicity in the mattor. He admitted that he had originated tho idea of publishing tho logtia proclamation, and had dictated but not written it. Be hud alBO coUBcd it to be distributed to tbo different ijewsparcr ofCcca. He farther stated that ho had caused the publication of tho proclamation as a Btck jobbing operation.

Howard was taken before General Dlx, and immediately sent io Port Lafayette. Mr. Howard was for a number of years connected with the press as a reporter and. correspondent. At one time was chairman of the Young Men's Republican Association of Brooklyn, and took quite a prominent part in the Abolition political movements in that city, notwithstanding niB connection with the Brooklyn Eagle, which iscalltd "War Democratic" in its tendencies, though it it well understood that the proprietor and the editor of tli lAGiE wcro ignorant of JHr.

Howard's conduct In From too Sun. At the time the offices of the World and Journal of Commerce were taken possession of by tbo military, the minifold "copy" of the bogus "Proclamation" was seized aud sent to the headquarters of General Dix. An aid ol the general afterwards visited the various newspaper offices and collected tho other unpublished copies of the document. Those manifold flheets of tissue paper were distributed around among the keenest of our mo iroi olitan detectives, with written descriptions of the messengers who delivered the dispatches, as eliminated by cross examining tho various persons who reuelved the bogus "Proclamation," at the different newspaper oflices. With this information the othcers went to work.

Some of them viBiting the different newspaper est.tb pshmcnt, making themselves familiar. with, the routine of a printing office, conversing with the employees, and otherwise gathering information that proved valuable In the course of these investigations tho odlcars loarned that about the Cl'fct of April a hoa was played off on tho Brooklyn papers in a manner similar to the bogus Proclamation. At that timo the Brooklyn paper, were deceived into publishing a report that (sen. McClellan and other umiy officers were to meet in council at ths Bronk ljn Navy Yard a number ot distinguished naval officers, iur me purposo 01 devising means to arm and equip troeps and vessels for tho National service. On receiving this lniormction tho detectives immediately visited the City oi churches, aud inja quiet way investigated the Ercolij teas, lieicmiug salitfled that the "copy" funiiFhcd in that uiluirwas written on paper not uniiko that on which the bogus proclamation was inscribed.

Here was a due; lollowing it up, the officers noxt discovered the reputed authors of that sorry jest and had every reason to believe that several lestive reporters had "a bond in that game." Eventually tlicii auspicious came moral certainties, and they at onco reported at "hcadquirtors." Hwre they compared notes with the other efneers who had been jut on tho "1 iy" and carefully wc lit over all the details aa relate by those who received tho "copy" of the bogus Proclamation. 0'ie of these, the statement of the clerk in tne World oJIlce was aa follows: "When tho manifold was brought in, ho thought tho mcwingcr was the person who usually hronght'tlic co py of the daily llrouklyn ri portB to the World offlce The clerk said to him, This is a pretty time of ui bt to letch the Brooklyn reports.

strlH This Paper has the Largest Circulation of ant Evening' Paper published in the United States. Its value as an Advertising Medium, 1b therelore apparent. The Bogus Proclamation and its Author. "When we denounced, on the afternoon of the day upon which tlie now famous "bogus" proclamation was issued, the perpetrators of the heartless and wicked hoax, nothing was farther from our thoughts than that wo should be colled upon, under any conceivable circumstances, to offer any explanation personal to ourselves, in connection with a iraud whioh no paper denounced more heartily or promptly than this. No individual amongthc millions of people who aro by this time informed that the fraudulent and clumsily worded proclamation, purporting to have emenated from tko President, was the production of an employee of the Bbooeiyn Eagle, read the announcement with anything like the surprise felt by thoso who control this journal.

Ws know that no fair minded man will hold us for an instant responsible for the conduct of r.n employee of ours, acting entirely outside of our business and beyond our control, but it is nevertheless due to the public and to ourselves, that such information as we possess should be placed before our readers. Mr. Joseph Howard. has been for many years connected with the most prominent journals of New York. He was at one time Washington editor of the Trihivv, and more re.

cently city editor of the New York Times. Loss than a year ago he was employed by n3 to discharge the duties of (he position he filled upon the' latter journal. Sir. Howard is politically Bepublican, aud it is due" to him to say that ho never pretended to be anything else. He organized, and was the first of the first Republican Association ever started in Brooklyn he was eluded a few months since a member of the Kings County Bepublican Committee, and is at this hour a member of his party in good standing.

We mention those facts, not to implicate his party in his transgressions or to attempt to trace any connection bitween Republicanism and heartlesa cheating, but to prove, if that be necessary and it can bar diy be to the readers of the Eagle that Mr. Howard's individual views in the subordinate position which ho filled were of no consequence whatever to us. Theso facts will stand as an evidence of that liborality of sentiment wHh regard to nationality, religion and politics, which we have endeavored to show in our business relations with our subordinate employees and with the public. The political sentiments of the Eagle are woll known; they are the sincere convictions of its conductors, and were no mors Mr. Howard's concern than they are of the printer who arranges the types for this article.

The attempt theraforo to connect ill. Howard with the responsible conductors of the Eagle is as gross a fraud aa that which he himself perpetrated, though perhaps less wide spread in its conse quencea. Thn editor of i.hft TliftT.v. rtiq not ot ia moment imposed upon by the bogus Proclama and the Eagle took the earliest opportunity to warn the public of the cheat attempted to be practised upon them. As soon as the attention of the writer of this article was called to the bogus document, he at once sent a mossenger to tho agent of the Associated Press to obtain official information of the character of the fraudulent despatch.

The following reply was received and was at once posted on the bulletin board outside of our office, thus taking tho earliest opportunity of warning tho public against tho oheat: Associated Picks), H3 Broad stay, 1 Mav 18, Hie aiieged prociaintUon of tho president, calling ror 400,000 men, was not received at this ageiicj, a ad to havo no knowledge or belief of its authenticity. B. H. Chaio, Agent. At the same time we telegraphed to the Hon.

Moses P. Odoll, expecting to receive from him a still mere emphatic denial of tae authenticity of tho bogus document. The despatches of the Arrant of tho A isoeiated Press and that of Mr. Oilell were placod before our readers at the earliest possible moment, embodied in fin article which closed as follows: "We truat tint oTcrr ofiort will be made to bring tho partie to this cheat to lijht, and wo hope for the bon of our profession, that tho New York journals which, pub ijufcu ujo ucgus comment were Uienisolyea imposed upon. There can be do iloubt but thut the fraud was designed mainly to bcucUt fao Wall street g.imbier3, and aro sorry to asy that it in part effected its parposa.

Gold roeo to 1M on the puMiratioo of the desnatch, but declined to yeatorday'u rates an eooa aa the cheat wag discovered. If the proclamation was brails, and there is no reason to doubt it. it shows that there are men amonj ns who gamble upon tho lite or death ot the Republic, aud rails sport cf the rrivest, and profit oo of the soreat of a naticm'iroihsinitieB." lEaylt of Wedntsdiy. Was it possible that we could warn the public sooner than we did Was it possible that we could denounce the fraud more emphati cnliy Was it in our power to shield our readers more completely Prom every fair minded man there will bo but one response to tbeee questions. Tho motive of tho perpetrators of the fraud are not denied; we are generous onough to believe that tho individual most directly concerned in it was not aware of the full measure of bis criminality.

Bogus reports, intended to effect tho price of stocks, aro every day set afloat in Wall street, and they are forgotten as soon, as they have subserved their purpose. That the public should be cheated by lyin rumors is an inevitable contingency of the feverish condition of the public mind consequent upon the disturbed condition of affairs. If all of tho individuals who have made illegitimate gains out of this war vere sent to Fort Lafayette, Mr. Howard would Cud himEclf lo day in tho company of the most pretentious, the most truculent, and most virulent members of tho party of which he wai a faithful adherent, and which he novcr proposed to sell when disposed of his servicos to Ui We hare little or nothing to add except to say that Mr. Howard is by relationship connected with the warmest supportera of the administration in this city.

No doubt they regret, as every yoncrous man will, that a young man with ability for tho performance of better things, should ut tho outset of his career, bring shame upon bin friends, trouble upon those very dear to him, aud dis raco upon himself. The Dejess Movtmeot. Tho Boston states that tlie ramie of the anti silk movement in th iity appears to bo that the Jadios havo mado oxtn pur dbABee Bo oe to havo a great quantity on band, and that toe rotaU deolar aoM worth tho day fbucxri.13 tho tfce rcoeni movouunt. all indiscriminately, this purposo is thwarted. The Board of Supervisors has made the most commendable efforts to proraote voluntary enlistments, and achieved such a measure of suc ress as should havo convinced the government that all tho men required could be raised more expeditiously and more economically than by draft.

The result of the first draft certainly established this fact. But the question of tho expediency of resorting to the draft is not now an open one; the government appears to be satisfied that it is the best way of railing troops and will, therefore, enforce the conscription; and "the qucsiion beloro us is what course should tho local authorities take to mitigate its burthens, where they fall unevenly, and at the Slime time not conflict needlessly with the pur pone of the government? Tho conscription law should have been framed to make distinction between men who have families dependent upon them for support and those who have not. As the law fails to do this, we think the local authorities, on whom the burthen of providing for the families of seldicrs has fallen, are justified in stepping in to afford that relief which the framers of tho act neglected to provide. This we think is only just and proper. The action of tho Bord of Supervisors appropriating $000 for every man drawn, was a piece of extravagant absurdity, unfair to the government and unjust to tho tax payers.

The Common Council has taken action to secure tho exemption of certain classes, independent of what the Supervisors have done, and there appears to be no system or understanding about tlie business. It is time some understanding was arrived at among the local authorities and with the government, so that when the next draft takes plase there may bo perfect accord in the matter. Lincoln's Presidential PK03rEcrs. The Massachusetts Bepublican State Convention for nominating delegates at large to the Baltimore Convention, endorsed President Lincoln's renomination almost unanimously.

Sherman's Army The Battle of Re eaca Severe Fighting and Heavy Losses A Kcrald Correspondent Killed.

MlOM CENEBAL GRANT. There has been no battle yet between the two great armies in Virginia, but some severe skirmishes, resulting ironi manoeuvres on both sides. Gen. Grant attempted to outflank Lee on the left, and Leo attempted to turn our right, both movements failed. The rebels sufiercd severely in the lattar, losing three hundred prisoners, and leaving a large number of dead on the field.

EH1KVC1SCEMEKT3 POB OBAHT. Tho most cheering news is that Gen. Grant has been reinforced with 25,000 veteran troops. Ihese troops were probably sent from tho (ratifications and around Washington, Ii.iltL moie and places, posts being occupied by the hundred day men recently called out. The army is abundantly supplied and evSryr thing reported in a satisfactory condition.

TEE EEZEL ATTACK ON OUT! EIGHT. Tho rebel attack on our right was made on Thursday evening between 5 and 6 o'clock, by the wholo of Ewell's corps. They made a de. tour by the west, crossed tho river Ny, and feme out on the rear of our right flank cn tho Ficdericksburg road, within three ruartsrs of a mile of the head quarters of Gens. Grant and Meade.

The only troops on the ground were two artilleiy regiments of Gen. Tyler's division, recently Ecnt on from Washington, and composed of men who had never before beon under fire. They acted, however, with the utmost Iravery, held the enemy at.bay until Gen. Tyler brought up the rest of his division, and drovo the enemy into tho woods, pursuing them somo distance and scattering their force. A dispatch from the front up to 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon reports that no change had taken place in the situation no fighting id tal ren place on that day.

Oint LOSSES THE WOUNDEU. The losses in tho Fith Corps, since the movement began, are reported as follows: Killed, wounded, missing, 1,120. Total, 3,510. Less missing there than any other corps. Tho stragglers are estimated at about 12,000 in the whole army.

Dr. Morton, of Boston, who has been at Fredericksburgh aud the front since the commencement of the present campaign, superintending the use oi anesthetics in the hospitals, has returned, aud with several other volunteer surgeons, he states tho number of wounded, as shown by official statements, is not that those requiring operations had the benefit of the anmsthotics, and that all of the wounded have been brought in from the camp hospitals and tho field at Frod ericksburgh. The ambulance system has worked admirably, removing tho wounded from tho positions where tboy embarrassed military operations, and tlie hospital arrangements ara as nearly perfect as circumstances will permit.
