McAuslan. VIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS. Second Contest for the Champion Silver Ball, Atlantic versus The Atlantic Club Victorious. The return game between these clubs for the champion silver ball, presented by the Continental club of this city, was played on the Union ball grounds, yesterday, the 21st inst. From an early hour in the afternoon, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather, the concourse began to assemble and the streets and cars leading to the grounds were much frequented and crowded by those wending their way thither.

About six thousand persons witnessed the game, at least three thousand of whom were on the banks outside the enclosure presenting a very formidable appearance to those in the arena below, flanked as they were by carriages, wagons, and other vehicles. It is not necessary to say that this crowd did the hurrahing part of the work finding fault with decisions we mean. That so many should avail themselves of the view afforded from the embankments outside the enclosure, is to be much regretted, as the proceeds derived from the entrance fee is to be devoted to the fund oi the United States Sanitary Commission. A large number of ladies were present, and the shed provided for them (capable of accommodating five hundred persons) was well filled. As usual the grounds were in fine order, the base lines marked the crowd kept from encroaching upon the field, and the scorers stand was free from the intrusion of the spectators.

A large force of police were in attendance, but for the service they rendered, they might as well have been elsewhere. The friends of both parties were very sanguine; the Eckfords thought that what had been done could be repeated, whilst the At lantics were confident of victory. The game commenced at 3 P. and during the after ternoon several showers of rain fell, not, however, sufficient consequence to delay the game. Appended we give a report of the contest.

First Innings. The Atlantics winning the toss, they went first to the bat, Pearce, their first man, tipping out. P. O'Brien was snugly disposed oi on the first base by Josb Snyder and Campbell M. O'Brien made the third out, being caught on the fly by Reach at 3rd base.

Campbell appeared as the Eckford's first batter, and was finely caught by P. O'Brien on the bound. Manolt on a right fieia hit secured his 3rd base Spence followed and fell victim Crane catching him on the fly, and Reach batting a foul grounder, and Manolt, not hearing the Umpire's decision, but the ball being procured, was fielded to Smith on 3rd base, and the ball reaching there before Manolt, who had returned, pu himt out and closed the inning, amidst the cries of the outsiders, Not out," Hold your base," etc. which at one time caused such a tumult, that had not the players endeavored to appease the criticising public, a row seemed inevitable. Nothing scored on either Bide.

Second Innings. Smith on the part of the Atlantics led off with a left field hit, on which he made hs 1st and 2d bases, also his 8d upon Crane's batting a ball to the left field, the slriker gaining his 1st base, and subsequently in endeavoriDg to make his 2d waB put out, the ball, fielded by Beach to Woods, getting there before him. Chapman on a miss by John Snyder at centre field, made his 1st and 2d bases, the latter on a passed ball His successor, J. Oliver, fell a victim to Manolt, who caught his ball on the fly. Spence failing to catch the ball Start batted him, the striker gained bis first base and brought Chapman in and Joe Oliver tipping out, left Start on 2d base, which place he managed to ge'n The Fckfords now took tbeir turn at the bat, and were no Booner in than tbey were out.

Spence struck out Beach was taken on the bound by Chapman, and Mills on a ball past short stop gained his first, and in course of time hiB 2d and Sd bases, where he was left by Wood be'Dg caught by Pearce on tbe foul bound. Score. 2 to u. TniKD Innixc Scored 7 runs for the Atlantics, made on good batting, and the loose fielding of their antagonists. Those who obtained inns were P.

O'Brien, O'Brien, Smith, Chapman, Start, J. and Joe Oliver, the latter a home run. The Eckfords were again unsuccess. ful, their first ihree strikers going out In the 1 2 3 order Keacb, on the 1st base by J. Oliver and Start, Josh Snyder on the bound by P.

O'Brien, and John Snyder being caught on the fly by Smith, Bent the Eckfords into the field. Score 8 to 0. Fotjbth Inking The Atlantics' first man In thbj in niDg waB M. O'Brien, and he also made the first out, Beach catching him on the foul fly. Smith, on a ball to tbe short stop, which he failed to hold, was enabled to gain his flrBt base, and on a ball past the catcher, hla 3d, but Crane being caught on the fly by Campbell, he was obliged to wait for Start to bring him home, which he did 17 IjoXblus a ball uflol Wuuila.

The EckfordBnowwenttothebat, with the conviction that something mnst be done, and their first batter, Campbell tipping out, left the track clear for Manolt, who, on a right Held hit, scored a home run, coming in amidst the applause of the assemblage. Spence was next in order and was caught by Pearce on tne foul bound; Beach made the third band out, M.

O'Brien catching nls ball on the bound. Score Atlantics 10; Eckfords 1. I iFxn Innings Added 7 rnns to the Atlantics score one of which was a home run, made by Chapman, who' on a center field hit, made his 3d, and kept on running the ball being thrown in some six feet from the home' base, otherwise very likely Chapman would bave been put out. The other forlunates were Pearce, M. O'Brien, Smith, Crane, J.

and Joe Oliver, whilst the unfortunates wereP. O'Brien, who was caught by John Snyder on the ny, tart, the first batter who had previously gained his 1st base was attempting to make his second, when Woods got the ball Joe Oliver baited to him, he touched the base and promptly fielded It to Campbell, who failed to hold it, and the siriker reached the base. This was the only attempt at double play made. Joe Oliver (second strike) was te ken on the fly by Reach and made the third out. on the ickford Bide one run was made.

Miles, on a ball past the pitcher, gained his 1st base, and subsequently on two passed balls Mb lecond and third bases. oodB nest bat, ha claimed that priviledge, and was nn disposed of by Chapman on the fly. Reach next bitted a ball past short stop, gained his 1st and on a paSEed ball the 2d base. Josh Snyder contributed to the score ol outs in this wise being caught on the bound by 14. O'Biien.

Two hands being out, Reach wanted a run and slarud to make it, but was run out between 2d and 1" 1 '0lln 0Iiver' lbU3 closinSl'be innings. Score Sixth Inning. The Atlantics first five men made runs, ihe sixth man Chapman, making the first out, he being caught on the bound by Mills. J. Oliver followed, and en a centro field hit scored a clean home run.

Start next hit a ball to Campbell, who found it very accepts, ble and appropriating it to himEeir, put the striker out. Joe Oliver, shared the same fate as bis predecessor, Campbell, with the aid of Spence putting him out on the 1st base. Tbe Eckfords now went to the bat, and Josh Sujder their first batter on a lefi field hit secured his Is' and subet quently his 2d and 3d bases, coming in on a passed ball. John Snyder and Campbell tipped out Manolt was beautifully caught on the bound by Chapman, cIOBing the innings, score 23 to 8. Seventh Innii g.

In this inniDg the Eckfords made two changes, Mills playing first base and Campbell occupying his position. Pierce, P. O'Brien, Smith and Crane scored runs, chiefly by the loose fielding of their opponents. A good bound catch by Joseph Snyder relieved M. O'Brien of the trouble of making a run, and another also at the same place made Chapman second out, and Spence catching Start on the bound, closed their innings.

For the Eckford side Spence made a run on a fine centre field bit, which gave him his second, and watching an opportunity he made bis 3d, and his home base on a passed ball. Beach fell victim to M. O'Brien on the bound; Mills was snugly put out at 1st base by the combined operations ol P. O'Brien ana Start, and Beach batting a ball to 2d base, which the basemen fielded to Start, put the striker out and left his predecessor on the 2d base. Score 27 to 4.

Eighth Inning The Eckfords changed the Vase of their operations in thiB Innings, by putting Josh Snyder as 1st base, Millu 3d, and Reach short stop. Some vary good batting was displayed in this inning by the Atlantics; and 6 runs were Bcored. They were made by Pearce, P. and M. O'Brien, Smith and the two Oliver's, the former of the two InBt named, on a fine right field hit secured his 3d base, and on a wild throw from the field to the base, came in.

Crane got his 1st on a ball to the right field, and subsequently endeavored to secure his 2nd, but tbe watchful Beach consigning the ball to Woods, Crane was decided out, but in justice to him we must say, tbat he kept good time with the ball, both reaching the base nearly at the same time. Chapman made the second out, Beach catching his ball on the foul bound, aDd Start on a short ball to Campbell, ran for the 1st base, but Campbell fleldiDg the ball to Josh Snyder headed the striker off. Josh Snyder, the Eckfords first batter, then took the bat, and by a Btavinghit to the right field was enabled to make a home run, which was the last tun added to their score. His successors went out in succession in this wiBe John Snyder on the foul fly by Peaiee, Csmpbell at 1st base, by J. Oliver and Start and Manolt on the fly, by J.

Oliver closing tho inninrra" Score 33 to 5. fa Ninth Inning. There being no runs to make to "pull up," the Atlantic's went to the bat in a very happy manner, and before leaving had caused six runs more to be credited to them. Pearce, a home run, P. O'Brien (on a rules of John Snyder), M.

O'Brien, Crane, Chapman and Joe Oliver. Reach made a fine fly catch, and thereby put Smith out; Start also fell victim to Roach in Ihe same manner, and Jue Oiiver coming up for his second strike, was unceremoHi utly disposed of by Ccmpbell on the foul fly. The Ecklurda now came to the but for their last inning, which resulted In a duck's beii.g milled to their scire.

The tenth annsal distribution of premiums to the pupils of St. James' Cathedral, in Jay street under the direction of the Christian Brothers) took place in the school room last evening, and as upon all previous occasions, the concourse of spectators was very large.

The proceedings were varied and exceedingly interesting throughout. The programme embraced music, declamation, and dialogue, in all of which the pupils evinced a commendable degree of proficiency Among the clergymen present were Rev. Fathers Turner, Keegan and McDonald, all of whom made brief remarks applicable to the occasion, and referred in patriotic terms to the present struggle for the maintenance of the Union, which elicited the most hearty applause from tbe assembled multitude. Ihe Rev. Father Turner distributed the premiums, afterwhich he spoke words of encouragement to the boys, and hoped they would deserve another premium for good conduct during vacation Ho nrn aln tian Brothers for the excellent manner in which tbey instructed those under their charge The music was furnished by the St.

James' Cornet Band, composed of pupils of the school all of whom were attired in a neat uniform and presented quite a military appearance. Tbe solos on the piano and alto horn, by Master Furlong, were admirably executed. The school room was finely decorated with the American and Irish flags, whice were waved when any patriotic song was sung, or allusion made to the present aspect of national affairs. Every thing passed off in an agreeable and creditable manner. The following is a list of the premiums awarded Ueligious Instruction, let Class Premium awarded to Francis Dougherty; 2d, Wm.

The annual examination and distribution of premiums at the female school attached to the Church of our Lidy of Mercy, in Debevoise street, took place last evening, at the school room, in the presence of a large number of the parents and friends of the children.

The exercises were made very attractive, by the performance of some fine musical se lections under the direction of Mr. Hoffman, the organist of the church. The premiums, which consisted principally of books, were distributed to over fifcy pupils, and the exercises gave the utmost satisfaciion to those who were present. The Empire Brigade. The officers of this Brigade are most energetic in their endeavors to fill up the ranks and are succeeding finely notwithstanding the doubts heretofore as to the payment of the State bounty.

Now, however, this marter is settled. Each recruit will get twen" ty five dollars as soon as mustered in and the remainder before he leaves the State. This will help matters amazingly and we should not be surprised now to see recruits coming in as fast as they can be inspected. Those already enlisted are at Union Barracks in East New York, which is beginning to assume quite a military appearance. POLICE COURTS.

The building which the public spirit of Brooklyn erected, and which enjoys the eclat of having introduced to the American lyric stage, two genuine American sopranos Miss Kellogg, and the ever to be remembered Hink'ey, is now in the hands of the carpenters. It was there, poor thing, she sang her sweetest, and won her freshest and most deserving laurels The place in which her dulcet notes stirred bo many a heart where her naivete but why talk the alang of the coulisses about one who showed such thorough womanhoodenoughand too much poor Isabella Hinkley is gone forever and no more shall the Romanesque edifice be resonant with enthusiasm over the chef d'etires of the accomplished deceased. Then came the Kellogg who ventured before us almost unheralded.and who had not that claim upon our sympathy which her friend and compeer had for Madame Hinkley Susini was a daughter of the Empire State.

Yet none the less did our people attest their appreciation of the in contestible merits of an artist who solicited their judgment upon her merits, and who came before them unpnffed, and almost nnintroduced. But enough of all that. No need to talk of Brlgnoli's stalkiness, and admirable vocalization Forrest's impersonations as "The Greatest Living Tragedian" or the playful wit and humor, and withal pathos which characterised the performances of the Jarrett and other enterprises. That is all past and gone, and the old (procul die.) house is now in the process of being turned inside out, (for renovation,) as many of the dead heads hive had their gloves when left with the people on Fulton and other streets to be cleaned. As our readers will recollect, we published a full report of the views entertained by the great mass of the stockholders of the Academy, in relation to the expediency of making such alterations in their splendid edifice as would render it a place eligible alike for opera and drama.

And also, it was then resolved, that the great standing objection, (we don't mean a joke) against the auditorium, was the difficulty of seeing from very maDy parts of the house. To obviate that, the stockholders resolved to have the galleries containing the seats lowered, and while in doing so, an act entirely creditable to their good taste we fear they have adopted a plan which may prove more expensive than if they had fairly gutted the auditorium right out and put in a new arrange, ment as to seats. Every one concedes that heretofore the seating in the Academy, taking it as a generality, has been abominable indeed he seats were scarcely wide enough for full grown men, not to talk of crinolined women. The plan of the proposed alteration i3 a lowering of the pitch" of the galleries this, as regards the first, will be about two feet eight inch ee, while as to the second the "pitch" will be, per baps, three feet. The original architect and builder of the house, Messrs.

Eidletz Reeve3, are entrusted with the rectification of the gross blunder made at the start. It is very likely that with the alteration as to seats, the expectations of the directors will be realized, and no cause of complaint arise in the future in this regard ands at the Eame time, the house will return more than it has heretofore done. Certainly objections are urged as to the mode in which Messrs. Eidletz Reeves undertake the work in question. People for it stance, will say that a beam morticed at right angles into a poBt, if lowered say two feet eight inches, will throw the post off its base But then these mus tbe "counted out," seeing that the job is in such experienced hands.

However, we must say it does seem to ns that the batting in of a morticed post, where it is at an angle of say fifteen to the proposed base, is a mechanica; operation which, though successful, may not be safe as to results. A tew words now as to the stage and matters there anent. The directors have been liberal in this regard, and seem resolved that there shall in future be no need for complaint on the score o' lack of scenic appurtenances. The new scenery of which we shall speak anon,) is being painted by Mr. H.

W. Calyo, an artist unequalled his profession in this country. He proposes to paint fourteen scenes which will embrace, in conjunction with the existing operatic "drops," a suit of scenery that will render our Academy complete in this regard at all events. The new scenes will omprise a Louis Quatorze chamber very rich, and probably one of Hie happiest efforts of the gifted artist castle, kitchen, prison moon light garden, mountain, street, woods, se Vt ral elegant chambers, gotalc and otherwise, and a magnificent horizon drop. Thus it will be aeen that all the requirements of opera and the drama will be satisfactorily supplied under the new arrangement of things.

Bat an important feature of the "renovation," if we may apply such a term to an edifice so new as the Academy, is the introduction of "flits" of which there will be fourteen sets, with wings and borders complete. They are all two feet higher and four feet wider than any other in this country. Their height is 22 feet with a width of 32 feet the wings 22x.S;4 Many snpposed that the building was not sufficient width to admit, the Introduction of but having measured it we find that there will be a space of twelve and a half leet clean thus affording plenty of room to move about. All of this is under the active supervision of that experienced stage carpenter and machinist, Mr. Robert McNally, who, by the way, introduces a new feature in the scenic mechanism.

Hereto, fore, in theatres wherein they used flats, there was this difficulty, viz the drop flats failed to accommodate themselves to the leaders below this, because of their we'ght, and wabbling by the draught. Mr. McNally proposes to obviate this and we think he will do eo successfully by substituting for the "drops," what he terms "panorama drop grooves," which at the moment the "flats" are shoved on, assume their place at the top of them, thus completing the "set This will be a very decided improvement. As regards the horriferons arrangements of the stage such as traps, thunder and lightning, no alteration will be made, and for the reason, that in such regards the Academy is already fully sup. plied.

It is suggested, however, that there has not been a sufficiency of light behind the scenes to render the desired effect, and it is proposed that Messrs. Sfratton and Chappel, who originally supplied the gas fixtures in the building, shall place border lights at all the entrances to the stage especially above. This seems actually necessary to bring out the scenery and the st3ge with proper effect, and it is to be hoped the directors will not overlook this desideratum. In conclusion, it may be said, that when the attractions, so liberally undertaken by the stockholders, shall have been completed, we shall have as fully and elegantly equipped a temple of the Muses, of which this or any other "hemisphere" can boast. One thing only will be wantiDg to its completeness and that is a scene room.

Had the stockholders the lot lying between their property and Remsen street, ample room would be afforded to build a suitable addition, which would furnish accommodation for dressing rooms, painters gallery, storage of sctiics, iVj. But about this there is time enough yet to talk. A piivate in the Regiment, Richardson'.

Bitter Comments of the English Press on American Affairs We receivedjour mails by the City of Washington this forenoon. Her dates are to the 9ih inst. four days later than the latest received at New York by mail.

In the Scotch Court a decision had been rendered in the celebrated Yelverton marriage case. Commenting thereon, the London Times says Onr readers have learnt, from the report of Lord Ardmillan's decision and the general tenor of his observations, that it is decided, subject to appeal to the higher Court in Scotland, and fiaally to the House of Lords, that Maria Theresa Long worth has not made out her claim to be recognized as the lawfnl wife of Major Yelverton. Neither the Scotch marriage nor the Irish marriage passes the ordeal of the Court. In a augment every sentence of which must have been full of bitterness for the clever and self willed woman who originated the suit, Lord Ardmillaa gives it clearly as nls opinion that at no time did Mjor Yelverton desire to marry her, but that she, on the other hand, for years courted him, personally and by letter, using every means to entangle him in a matrimonial engagement, and that she finally fell into his power through her own uncontrollable attachment. A correspondent of the is fearful that the present distress in Lancashire through a dearth of cotton will expose to a temptation difficult to withstand the young female operations.

The writer says: The idea of penning "them up in workhouseB, with all the associa "tions of pauperism, bo revolting to honest industry, is not to be thought of except as the "very last resource, and living on casual alms "is almost as bad. I have therefore been reflecting in what way they could be employed ''until the supply of cotton again demands their "energies, and it occurred to me that if every "family in England whose circumstances per "mitted would take one of these girls into their 1 'houses, and train them as domestic servants "their services would in most cases be well "worth the food, trouble, and, it might be, "some plain clothing they got in exchange." The following remarks under the head of gunpowder superceded, we find in an English paper: The Germans have a proverb accordiDg to which people of limited talent are put down as not having invented gUDpowder or, in plain English, as not being likely to set the Thames on Are. If the saying Implies that the invention of that destructive material must be the work of genius, they may now boasi of having produced too fourth of the kind. Apart from the ancient discovery of Berthoid Schwarz, and the more novel invention of guu cotlon by Professor Schonbein, the feat has just been re. peated In another way by two officers in the Prussian and Austrian service.

Of these, Hauptmann Schmidt a captain of artillery at Berlin is the original discoverer whose idea was subsequently imitated and improved by Colonel von UcbatiUB. The latest explosive material consists of the flour of starch, which, boiled in a peculiar way with nitric acid, possesses a far greater projective force than the gunpowder in ordinary use. It has also tbe great advantage of not fouling the piece to any appreciable extent and, from the nature of the materials used, is produced at a far cheaper rate. Another point in its composition which recommends it especially for fortresses and mBgazines is the facility with which, the ingredients are mixed together, thus rendering it possible to keep them separate until wanted for actual use In this state tbe powder is non explosive. The experiments now in course of progress in Vienna and Berlin ate auid to leave litele doubt as to its general In the Austrian and Prussian armies." The news of our reverses before Richmond had not reached England at the date of the City of of Washington's departure, nevertheless the tone of the English press is very bitter.

Writing of the situation before Richmond the Times says the city be captured it will only prolong the war, while if McClellan be beaten his retreat will be disastrous. Concluding, it says The intelligence swells In its range and in its horrors, as the war flows round the whole Union, settles In the deep inlets, fortifies Itself in peninsulas, and bacomea chronic in vast plains. The loDg weary columns of slaughter we give to day can only be considered as an earnest of th i worse that may be expected should the defenders of Richmond retreat the mountains in their rear, and all the other armies now at bay fall back on tbeir oipplica and teeoujecs lu LUo 1ha 1 n.r.i.in.1 charges of inhumanity Bhow intensely the bitterness already implanted by less than 2 years' war. Only last year It was a matter of pride and gratification to both sides that Fort Sumter had fallen without the loss of a man on either side, and it was predicted that the Americans would flght a bloodless war. It Is far otherwise now.

The greatest brutalities are committed, or ascribed, It matters not which; for, if ascribed, they will be retaliated. IfEcalded sailors leap into the sea, the Confederates are charged with firing canister shot at the boats sent to Bave the drowning wretches. Elsewhere, the Confederates are charged with massacreing housefuls of sleeping "contrabands." These are rumors, and may or may not be true. A private authority always needs corroboration, or checking. The same doubt cannot be admitted in favor of the authorities at whose mercy lies the hapless city of New Orleans.

Its story is to be read in the proclama tiensandthe correspodenee of its militajy masters, and never did conquerors assume such a tone. They have, indeed, conquered the city, its inhabitants, and all its valuable contents, though the latter be paid for by English money, be stored In English names, and only wait for tbe convenience of a passage to this country. The Americans will one day find that such tyranny recoils back on the heads of those who countenance it, and that they are sanctioning against themselves the principles which they permit towards others. Thi3 is the retribution of a policy which looks only to conquest and power. It raises dictators, conquerors, and tyrants, only to bear their yoke when there is no one else to bear it.

The new tariff excites the anger of theLoadon Times to tbe very highest pitch. It seems to be lieve that it is designed maiuly to punish Europe and it cannot account for America's hatred o) England. This is somewhat strange the ought to be able to guess. If constant ridicule and vilification is calculated to excite enmity, the Times should be at no loss to account for it. The Timet, in the article to which we have refer, red, taunts us in the following bitter fashion "At home no man's life, or liberty, or property "is secure, for how cm life or liberty be secure "in a country where the Habeas Corpus Act is "suspended indefinitely, where citizens have no "redress against unlawful imprisonment, and no "available meacs of obtaining a public trial and "how can property be when mjney is no "loDger a thing of intrinsic value, and when con "fiscation and taxation are becoming words of "similar meaning?" Touching the new tariff bill it speaks as follows Tbe proposition is to enact a new Tariff or ulles com pared with which the Morrill Tarifl is a declaration of fret trade, and its author might be classed with Cobden and Chevalier.

This new revised Tariff is to be in effect a prohibition of all European goods. "lis effect will be" says the most popular paper of New York, "to di prive Europe of theAmcrican market, a result more disastrous to England and than a thousand blockade of cotton ports." This is a new Secession movement, a secession of Federal America from Europe and from civilization. It Is to build up a wall more Impassable than tie great wall of China, round all the country where the Federal flag may fly. Federal America, hav irgtaktn seriously to the vice ot tyranny, is sirinpioe htrsell to the task of gratifying her new passion, sue is deliberately rejecting the silks, the wines, the trinkets and the works ol art of France, the floe woollens and cottons, the finished hardware, and the agricultural implements of England, and she is to restrict herscll for the future to ber own coarse, clumsy and costly substitutes. It is with a shout ol triumph that these foolish and angry people celebrate their new discovery of a nieaus of punishing England and France.

They are exulting in the notion that by means of this Tariff they ill either shut out altogether the productions of tbe two great industrial European nations or that they will compel them, by ihe payment ot hieh duties, to contribute to the expenses of their civil wars. Could any folly be more pitiable If Federal America were the only market in the world fur British and French manufactures, there might be some hope that the Foreign importers would have to pay some portion of its burdens in heightened duties but, while there are a hundred competing customers for such produce, lucre must be a market price, independent of any demand At that market price the produce will be deliver eel at the American ports, and whatever addition is made to it by the Government must be paid, not the tureion importer, but by the American ooBiimer. Are American statesmen and tbe American people such children Uml they require to be taught a simple truth like mis? On the other band, when these dutii become absolutely prohibitory, they tend to no other jiirpuse than to mako It every n.ui.'e interest throughout Europe and out An.erieu that ihe Federal Hag shall fly over a narrow poriion of as it can poesibl) be to.

Thoy are not shutting lbctiiseive out from all mankind in order to work out The Bosh of "Patriots" to the City Clerk's Office The Duty of the Hoar. There isabundant evidence of popular excitement vlaible at the present time notwithstanding the apparent dead level tran quality of the public xalBd. There la a grand "uprising" of the people, though not so extensive, nor directed to the same end as that of a year ago. There is a continuous rash of patriots not, we are sorry to say, to the recruiting fflces but to the City Hall where the names of those supposed to be liable to military duty are enrolled.

The office of the City Clerk is crowded from "morn till dewy eve" with heroes who claim exemption from the necessity of figuring on the field of Mars or coming into dargerons proximity with villianonu saltpetre. Much has been said of the fragility of the feminine constitution in onr large cities but it would seem that the masculine ditto is still more appal ingly imperfect. It is astonishing to see the number of men who present no sign of unsoundness in wind or limb to the closest ociutiny of the naked eye, yet who are nothing bnt highly concentrated epitomes of all the ills that fltsh is heir to. The number of diseased livers that afflict their suffering proprietors is immense, and the symptoms of incipient con. Eumption are alarmingly on the increase.

Every one who has the toothache, or a corn on his toe, appears to consider the infliction suflicient to exempt him from carrying a knapsack. It is also astonishing how many men have served their time in the militia and the fire department. The latter branch of the service has been fairly overrun lately by applicants who have been seized with a sodden sense of the dangers to which insurance companies are exposed by a slight diminution in the rate of dividends. The eagerness to claim exemption and the subterfuges resorted to in order to live at home at ease, is more indicative of prudence than patriotism. That discretion which is the better part of valor is evidently on the increase.

If so few are willing to volun. leer, and so many anxious to be counted out at all hazards, it is difficult to see where the 300,000 men called for by the President are to come from. Seriously, some effort will have to be made if the citizens of Brooklyn are to be spared the humiliation of being drafted. In every large city, except this, meetings have been held or bountiea have been offered to stimulate enlistment. In this city nothing has been done.

A good deal waB expected of Mr. Spinola when he took part in this business, but even his energy seems to have deserted him. In New York Mayor Op dyke recommends an additional bounty of $25 to be paid by the city, and in addition the city pledges itself to provide for the families of volunteers as long as the war continues. If Brooklyn does not wish to see such of her citizens as desire to enlist, join New Tork Regiments, she will have to do at least as much a3 New York. The subject here is everybody's bu siness, and of course, nobody's business.

The quota demanded of Brookly is but two regiments, atj present. With very Blight efforts those two regiments could be organized within two weeks. Surely it will not be said that Brooklyn is behind any part of the State in patriotism; every verbal assurance is given that her people have lost neither heart nor hope in this straggle In a city of over a quarter of a million of inhabitants, we are asked as an attestation of onr good faith, two thousand moo. Shall we refuse to give it Drafting should be ihe last expedient it ought not to be resorted to in a struggle of this kind until every other means are tried. It will change the character of this war it will cause the enemies of the Na.

tional Government every where to rejoice. We Eent our friends, our relatives, oar brothers to the field, with every assurance that we were in earnest in this struggle. They are hemmed in to day on the banks of the James River. Are we content to leave them to their fata If we war in ihis fashion we are worse enemies of our own people than are the traitors who are opposed to ihem in the field. TVho can stigmatise too bitterly the spirit that demands war, and yet allows the mtn who promptly, eagerly, generously stood up in defence of the people's apparent resolution to perish for lack of the aid which every principle of manhood demands that We should give them.

If we are for this war if the spirit awakened sixteen months ago still lives onr duty is clear. If the reverses we have me "with, has chilled it, deadened it, then our duty i equally obvious. The duty of the hour calls no man in the direction of the city office with flimsy pretexts fcr shirking the duty which every man who demanded war must have reckoned among the contingencies of war. It is not the duty of our young men to make a rush for the engine house, and feign at once an uncontrola ble attachment for the life of a fireman. The fire department officials instead of raising the initia.ion fees, should have refused peremptorily such co operation.

Those who have those dearer than life depending upon them may in all reason shrink from offering them elves while our streets swarm with young men. Why, if a draft were made on the street comers on a single evening a brigade could be collected. We think it desirable that our leading men should take some steps at once to facilitate enlistment, and to bring Brooklyn into step with ihe foremost city in the State. If a bounty be deemed necessary, let the city offer it. If it be deemed desirable to redistrict the city so that each ward shtll know what is required of it, let that be done.

We have two regiments in part organized let the officers of them be called together and let us see if they are prepared to respond, and ascertain what aid they need. It is stated that Spinola has seven hundred men at East New York. If this be so, will require but little exertion to place one regiment in the field. Military men should not rely entirely upon drafting. It is a desperate, it is even a hazardous experiment.

Let us appea to the patriotism of the people, let us imitate the example of other cities, let it not be said that in this hour of extremest peril, our citizens required to be forced to do what is plainly their duty.

We shall publish the proceed irge in full in a later edition. The Wounded Soldiers and the Long Island College Hospital. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Long Island College Hospital, July, 1803 Foe ihe Sick and Wounded Soldiees. Volunteer nurses are wanted.

The day is divided into four watches, runi.lng from 8 A. M. to 12 M. from 12 M. to 4 P.

II. from 4 P. M. to 8 P. M.

from 8 P. M. to 12 midnight, and from midnight till 8 A. Ladles are desired for all the watches, but the last. Volunteers by leaving or sending tbeir names to the office, may contribute materially to the relief of the suffering.

Last evening I saw the above notice ia your paper and in compliance with the invitation, in company with my daughter, went to the hospital, on what I deemed an errand of duty. A policeman showed me the entrance, met a yonDg gentleman at the door and et quired if we could go to the office. He asked what I wanted. I told him I wished to see the physician in charge or some official. He said I could find him in there, pointing to a door we entered, were met at the door by a female who said, "What do you want, have you any friendB here?" and at the same time put out her bands to stop our further progress.

I said, "No, I wish to see the physician;" she said. "There he is," pointing to a gentleman seated and who remained so We approached him saying, "I see by the papers of last evening that you desire ladies to volunteer in assisting you here, and if we can be of any service to you, we shall be glad to do so. He said he did not know, bet if I would ask the young gentleman at the door, he could tell e. We went to him, told our errand, and proffered our services to him. He saidhedid not know, but would enquire.

He went and saw the woman we first met, and they came to ns. I repeated to her our mission, and the cause of it: 8he looked at me for a moment and replied I don't know we have a good many nurses here," and 8Bked me if I had a recommend. Before I could reply, the young man asked me if I had any experience as a nurse. I replied, only the sad experience in my own family. I am not a professional nurse, nor do I come as such, but as a lady invited through the press to relieve the nurses at particular hours, and assist in comforting the suffering.

The woman again asked if I had any acquaintances who coald recommend me, I replied that I bad not been accustomed to ask or receive recommendations. She said she had 12 or 13 acquaintances who were ready to come in. She would prefer them. I said I would me any day and spend few hours, and would be glad to do so Iflconld be of service. The gentlemau replied that if I could not come as a reeralar nurse and stay all the time, it would be of no use.

Daring this examination, a lady younger than my daughter, in an audible tone, remarked that they did not want youngladies there, that they did not think it proper. We then left, as our mission was ended, without an invitation to renew our experience. We had a few articles which we inten ted to and would gladly have left for the wounded soldiers, but fearing that we might be taken for hucksters, did not offer them. As a friend of my husband, may I ask you for a or an explanation of the above notice, as I see it is repeated in this evenirjg's edition. A Lady of South Brooklyn, And not a professional nurse.

Jnly 18, 1S63. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In your paper of Saturday, there were two editorial articles respecting the contributions to our hospitals for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers. These articles gave a very clear impression of what was, and what was not required to be sent by our citizens to these institutions. This matter ought clearly to be understood, tbat there be no unnecessary or misappropriated gifts. It is understood that a general collection is soon to be taken up in our city churches for the benefit of our wounded soldiers who have been sent here.

In one of the churches, perhaps in more, the notice was given, yesterday, that it was to be applied to the fitting up cf the hospitals for the soldiers, our articles very clearly show that such an appropriation of benevolent funds is not now required. Oar citizens are ready to do all that is really necessary for the brave sufferers sent among ns but at such a time, when the calls on them are so constant, and so urgent it seems hardly fair to impose superfluous burdens upon their generosity. Will you let your readers Know again just what is demanded from their benevolence. Many Citizens. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I have read with much care and equal interest the correspondence in your paper animadverting on the conduct of those who have the management of the "Long Island College Hospital." Xour strictures were perfectly just.

I caa bear testimony to that fact, for, I have at much inconvenience devoted two nights to sit up with the poor sufferers. I firmly believe that but for vour timely censures the comforts they now eDjoy would have been much less, and that so far from your being blamed you deserve the thanks of the public, ss lam sure you will receive them from the brave but unfortunate sufferers.
