THE EXCITEMENT IN BROOKLYN. FOREIGN NEWS. Smith, Anthony Smith, Jaue Gordon, Ann Mooro and Richard C. Ralcnshay. The property they had in their possession was worth in the neighborhood of $lo0.

The plotters were brought before Justice Perry tills morning, who committed them on a charge of grand larceny. Two boys named John Evans, aged 17, and William Colycr, 18, were also arrested coming over the ferry with a quantity of carpenter's tools in their posocsston, which were supposed to have been stolen from some shop during the lawless proceeding of the mob. The owner of the property has not bet been found and the boys are held to await examination. The Coal Contract Can the County be Swindled with Impunity. The Superintendents of the Poor of this county have entered into a contract for coal for supplying the Alms house, at a price which entails a loss to the tax payers of this county of at least ten thousand dollars.

For entering into a contract for the supply of coal at the moment when a causeless panic had entirely disarranged the market for stipulating to pay fourteen dollars a ton for coal at a time when even the panic had not sent the price up above they have only this excuse to oiler the law compelled them to do so. The law regulating the purchase of supplies for the county buildings is designed to protect the interests of the county; it is hardly credible that it can be construed soleW in th', the foulurds formerly seen, but a splendid material as strong and durable as the finest taffetas gros grain are much worn. Tlioy arc narrow, and placed in two or three, never reaching higher than tho knee. AaitlaBtill the fashion to raise tlia skirt it is indispensable that the petticoat should also have a narrow fioiqics, Blir ge robos, in small designs, are trimmed with three Barrow flouiwe, edged with ribbon. The moire antique is Sill! WOrn oti coM dr.7s.

This robe is made wUh five narrow fluted frills and a' flounco of lace, with a deep fan like train. Laeo is much employed as trimmings to dresses of taffetas, as well as upon shawls and mantles. Eolondes, forming shawls In front, are trimmed with arabesques of braid and chenille, and bordered with two deep flounces oflace, separated by ruches of pinked laffeta, put on with a narrow band of passementerie, worked with Jet beads. Many muslin dresses, with printed patterns, have tho skills made plain. Some ore spotted with light bluo or pink dots, and bands of the same color ia zigzags at the bottom, imitating ribbon or gulpire.

This style of muslin is quite new, and only made in the best qualities Doubtless Ihis light and elegant design will remain In fashion all this season. Those spotted with azalem with a wreath mounting in palms, have a charming appearance. Wc also Bee foulards, with groups of azaleas and grey foliage at equal distances. On tumour to the suhicct of bonnein wo that tin ir foinis have completely changed since last summer. They are generally very small, but truly graceful.

The models vary in trimming. Feathers are mue'i worn. The natural feathers, placed in buuehes, are ia good taste aud suit any toilet. Hals may be chosen according to taste, but especial regard should be paid to what is becoming to the wearer. There is the Incroyable, the Frond'eur, aud the Jloissonneur.

The first is exceedingly elegant eotn posidof Italian straw. The front has a double eoque of maroon velvet, and two leathers, one of ti sumo shade as the relvet, the other white, placed rather high on the mown, Tho second is very stylish, made of black straw, with a high unil pointed crown, broad edges, turned up on ore side only. The edge is lined with red velvet, ami in front, and rather on the flat side of the edge, are four large roses encircled iublacklnce. We advise brunettes to adopt Ibis style. The inoissonneur is ralher less stylish, but is very graceful and young.

The crown is rather lower, and the edges are flat. A scarf of lace or fringed silk tied behind. The front is trimmed with a bouquet of flowers or a small bird. Itound hats are younger and more fanciful than the I onnct. The postillion hat is destined for the country.

Its form is slight modification of the man's bat. The 1 rett est is of straw, edged wih velvet to match, with a bow of the same fastening: a red feather in front, and a long grey one turning round the crown, and slightly raised at the edge. Caps uie generally made ol'the rci1ie form, with soft crowns. Flowers and ribbons are employed as ornamonts for the hair. Canezous and pclerrnes of embroidered muslin, and waistcoats of while quilting or embroidered silk in bright colors, with Veiiitian or liernoise bonds, aremudi in UetiiHiol.

Under sleeves, with deep cuffs, wider at the top than at the bottom, are quite the fashion, as are also the plain or quilting colars, trimmed with Valenciennes lace for haiftoilettis. vYATEKPROOF CIRCULARS WATERPROOF CIRCULARS Kvery lady iroing to ths Bea side should have a WATER PROOF CIRCULAR.

The Draft The 300 Clause. To the Editor of Brooklyn Eagle If ivc are to bring this war to a successful it 18 essential, at this momentous crisis, that the country should he united, olid furnish the lew n.i.lit tonal men now required to finish the work so well advanced.

I hope that some liberal means will be devised lo settle the trouble about the draft, but 1 can sec only one way in "which it can be done with jn. tiee, and so as to give all classes no cause of complaint. The trouble, at ptOeht, lies in the exemption clause. Xo particular sum of moii' should exempt any citizen from, military in defence of his country. Monday is no equivalent for the perils and hardships of a'soblier's lite, the diMress or inconvenience of leaving one's family; or if i here lc an equivalent in moaev if is one for the individual to tlx.

and not the government. The mere fact of a man's having money, teaming, talent, or other acquirement's of refined ought not in justice give him any exemption of life and limb in defence of the nation. Mr. lieeeher. Horace Oreelev.

If. .1. Hav niond, or any other man of the class who has been urging on the war, is under quite as much obligation to the gi veinment as the humblest laborer "of Xc.v York or Brooklyn, and no rtxed sum of can charge him from that obligation. If men of their social standing can iin.l Substitutes at anv price, be it one hundred or one thousand nob would complain. Hut why houul the particular sum of exempt them Pot that go for a tute, or is some poor man who has not 0l1 to he drafted in his place It is morally certain that not one man in ten who has will go to the war as a orivaie Then who will gov ohviousiv the expectation is that men enough will be found who cannot tlia: supply the needs of the government.

Now, Mr. Editor, if we outine; obtain v.i'.na o. r. libeml bounties. and a conscription becctues irv.

it should be thoroughly impartial. Le: evr. nun ed be obliged to servr'or procure a 'V: 'l ever price he can. Th.cn no one r. i aliiy and after all it is only s.

otic absence at the war. "It is for 'i and poor should hare its perils TVtiv Congress be assembled, the is ii i so as to make it impartial, ant tarn pr "'r draft? Who would obj to vat who could? A The trouble i5 not here. vrouid unke a particle of difference to a poor man who wis drafted, and compelled to leave a fauuilv of helpless children, whether bis rich neighbor secure 1 exemption for $300 or So.OOO. If the SoOO clause had been omitted altogether, it is certain that rich men would secure substitutes for themselves and their relatives. A few comparatively poor men might have escaped by paying who would have been compelled to go had they been obliged to secure substitutes on payment of $500 or $000.

No conscription law under which substitutes are accepted can reach the wealthier classes until money ceases to afford any temptation to the poorer. "We believe the chief defect of the law is that it does not make a sufficiently marked distinction between those whose absence will entail suffering upon others and those who have oulv themselves to provide for. The French conscription law entirely exempts those who have others dependent upon them. If the clause had never been inserted, and if unmarried men, rich and poor alike, had been made liable, the law would be acceptable as far as it is possible to make a law which is, from its very nature, oppressive We adverted to these features while the'law was pending in Congress. Since its passige we hare urged upon the local authorities the duly of mitigating the severity of the law by providiusfor the exemption of those who had families epin Jeut on mem.

ihis plants before the Board of Supervisors of this county, ami was not acted upon only because there are men in the Board of Supervisors, as there are out of it. who c. iniio; see beyond their nose. In view of the recent victories and the hope they give that the war an be brought to a speedy close, wc believe a draft may be avoided' altogether. If the administration limit the war to putting down armed resistance to the government and Artist to conciliation atnl forbearance to bring together the people of both appeal to the country will bring forward all the men needed.

Ifthe administration iiasauv other plan in view it will have draft, an repeat the draft pretty often. The War News. The war news is important in the extreme, and at any other time than this would attract the greatest interest. I.ee has suc eU in the Potomac with all his artillery and stores, including the plunder taken from Poiinsylvauia. It is evident Meade has been outgeneraled bv Lec, but in view of what he has etfejt cd it would he ungenerous in the extreme to blame him because he did not prove himself a match for the best general on the otiier side.

We have now an opportunity of comparing Meade's with McClellan's campaign. Mc Clellan, after taking command of the army which Pope's blundering had all but ruined, intercepted Lee before he had a chance of ravaging Maryland or Pennsylvania. Instead of intrenching himself, he attacked Lee in a position of his own choice and defeated him. Lee being within less than twenty miles of tin Potomac, and the river being fordable, succeeded in crossing, but seeded no plunder except what was taken Hiro er's Ferry. Meatle cannot be held responsible, for Hooker's delay in intercepting Lee's, advance.

At Gettysburg Lec commenced the attack. The rebels themselves concede that our troops were so well handled that they gave McC'lellan the credit of being in command. The rebels fell back and occupied the old field of Amiettm. Meade declined to take advantage of the opportunity, and Lee by keeping up a show ofstrength kept our army at bay until he crossed the Polo mac, losing only his rear guard of :2,0 J.J men. Upon the whole, although Meade might have done more, ii would be ungenerous to say a word in censure of a General who has disappointed the country in doing so much.

From the West the news is encouraging iu the extreme. Bragg's abandonment of Chattanaoo a throws into our hands Tennessee, Mississippi, Northern Alabama, and a erent ivirt of This is one of the most substantial successes of the war. The capture of Port Hudson is another great victory, placing iu our hands nearly twenty thousand prisoners, with an enormous quantity of stores. The rebels conced" the capture of Vicksburg. It is announced that our gunboats have reduced Fort Darling.

If this he true, Iiichmond is at our mercy. The attack on Charleston has commenced. Morris Island is in our hands, and Fort Sumter, it is di ved can be reduced from that point. Now let us only unite among ourselves, and make one vigorous effort, and the way for peace is opened. Let us not get up untimely strife about a conscription law.

From all appearances the men now iu the licld are equal to the work before them. Street Cleaning. A few davs ago we took occasion to name certain streets "which were so lilthi'y dirty that they threatened to breed a pestilence. The contractors have set to work to clean them. Very good.

The Eagle and its correspondents are hereby constituted honorary inspectors of contracts. We hereby give notice to the street contractors that nearly everv street in Brooklyn needs to be cleaned, and we "hereby inform the mayor that if he allows the street cleaning contractors to draw their money until the streets are cleaned, that he participates in taking from the city money which has never been earned. We might use a strong phrase, but swindling is an ugly word, however. i COLORED PEOPLE ALARBIED. Navy Yard and War Vessels, THE LOCAL MILITIA 0R8ANI2ING.

NEW YORK RIOTERS BRINGING THEIR PLUNDER TO BROOKLYN. Affairs in this city remain quiet and orderly. No attempt appears to have been made to create a disturbance. Those inclined to aid iu disreputable scenes proceeded to New York and left us in the enjoyment of peace. THE COLORED PEOPLE.

The colored people arc beginning to show themselves again in the streets this morning. Yesterday whole families vacated their residences in some parts of the city, and went off somewhere to secure safety. Some men were chased and beaten, but nothing that could be called serious occurred. A black man going along Hudson avenue was attacked and chased some distance. He be longed to the Navy.

A number of persons placed themselves between the pursuers and the negro, and he escaped and got inside the Navy Yard gate in safety. Canton street, is entirely vacated. It was occupied by colored people. They have gone, no one knows where The same is the case in some other localities abounding in colored folks; but, as we stated previously nothing of a very serious character occurred, and the black people were much more alarmed on account of the. scenes in New York than from actual violence or threats of harm here.

THE JiAVV YARD AND WAR VESSELS. The Navy Yard looks more warlike than ever. The sailors were drilled yesterday in the Use and management of howitzers, in which they showed great proficiency. Four cannon are placed at the south gate, and eight along, the Flushing avenue wall, with twenty four sailors to each gun, and a supporting guard. At the main entrance fronting York street a number of cannon are placed in position.

In fact all the approaches are so guarded that it will be impossible for any mob, should they be so disposed, to make any impression whatever. The iron clad monitor Passaic is anchored in the stream with liresgoiug and steam up so as to be used instantly should occasion require. The gunboats Mauniee, Shamrock and Quaker City are ilso ia the stream. The latter was receiving her boilers at, Webb's shipyard on the New York nideaud was removed on aecouut of apprehensions that the yard would be attacked. The ollieers of the Navy Yard seem to have been uneasy in eonscjueiice of threats to attack the yard and take the workmen away so as to aid in their riotous demonstrations.

The idea appears to have been entertained to suspend mechanical operations yesterday, luii other councils prevailed and the workmen contiuuvd at their labors. VOLUNTEERS FOR TUE EMERGENCY. A meeting of those favorable to organize for the purpose of maintaining order was held at the city arruory last night, by order of Major General Duryea. Reserves of all the regiments now at the scat of war were present, numbering overlive hundred, and the spirit manifested was such that there need be no apprehension that a sufficient number can be obtained at an hour's notice to meet any emergency that maybe likely to occur. The Seventeenth Regiment also met at the arsenal and took similar incisures.

The authorities have quietly made'amplo preparations to preserve tlie peace of the city. A reserve force of police, about 100 was collected in the City Hall, under the immediate charge of Inspector Folk. Mayor Kaluflcisch remained at the City Hall until late at night, (ion. Duryea requested the Mayor to call a public meeting iu the park ot citizens, to enroll themselves as a special police force for the protection of the city. Other gentlemen, however, urged that it would be dangerous to call a public meeting in the present excited state of popular feeling.

Such a call would have brought thousands of men to the park, and the slightest cause mi ht produce a collision between some of the diverse elements, and perhaps result in a serious riot. The quieter the people were kept the better. These counsels prevailed with his honor, and no public meeting was called. SBOniEKT OP The regiment of exempts being organized under Col. A.

M. Wood, is progressing favorably, They have already a fine body of disciplined men armed and equipped, ready for any emergency. ARTILLERY FOR KBiV TORK. About, noon to day, the First Battalion of Artillery, commanded by Capt. George Chappell left for New York to aid in restoring order by weans of grape and ennnister.

RIOTERS BRINGING THEIR PLrjJiUER TO IlItOOKLYN ARE CAUGHT BT THE POLICE. Soon after the attack on Brooks' clothing store in Catharine street, N. yesterday, a number of men, women and boys were seen erossin" the Cutharinc Ferry to Brooklyn, witli bundles of clothing. Information was given to the police of the 42d Precinct, who took steps to arrest these parties, by stationing a force at the ferry. They subsequently arrested two men, two women and a boy, all heavily laden with plunder.

They had bundles of coats, pantaloons, vests, shirt collars and handkerchiefs, boxos of buttons and trimmings. The parties were taken to the station house and prehed.

During yesterday the excitement in the Eastern District was steadily increasing ou all sides and the wild rumors from New York struck terror to the more peaceably inclined citizens. As ih, rkness drew in reports were quietly circulated that, a demonstration had been determined by some artizatis from the "North side," or from Grecnpoint.

These stories were repeated with the customary additions until the statement was made that a ob of thousands would attack the 1 ost ollice, the. rosideiu i of Ir. North, corner of Fourth aud South Fifth streets, the oflice of the JSrimkhjn Timi.i. aud that the life of IVovosb Starshol Maddox had been seriously threatened. On inquiry it was ascertained that a portion of the l'reeinet Police were arriving as a reserve in the Western District of the city.

Post master Allen took such measures as be thought proper, and a watch was kept in the Wall House where the Post office is situated all night. Some of the ladies of the house remained up all night, momentarily expecting an attack of the disalfeet eSi nun. During the lirst hours of the night all sorts of rumors were received at intervals from New York, the last of which was that the clothing store of BrooksBrothers, corner of Catharine and Chi try streets, had been sacked and burned. But the hours were arriving in quiet and nothing but the lire Veils of the Metropolis and the lurid glare of the sky in that direction betokaued that anything unusual was transpiring. Fiually the welcome dawn, but tears temporal ily, and this moruing the feverish anxiety of the night was vt ry material: allayed.

It is no believed that there was no sufficient reason for expecting au attack. MEETING OF THE 14TH WARD MECHANICS. At about half past eight o'clock last evening an impromptu meeting of artisans, laborers and others, mostly of the Hth ward, was held on the vacant ground between North 8th, North Oth, and 3d streets, for the purpose of arranging a plan of action.

The fires of mob excitement have reached tho village of Jamaica, which last night witnessed a proceeding quite as tinjusti liable as any which have trani pired.

Shortly after dark, a body of about fifty disaffected wretches assembled in treets last evening, and broke into a houso where the Provost Marshal had stored a quantity of clothing for soldiers. This they brought out piled up in the street, and after torch cheered and hooted uolil all the garments wero consumed. The value ol clothing destroyed was No further violence was attempted. AT QUEEN POINT. All is reported quiet among the artizatis at Grecnpoint this noon.

It was fortunately extinguished beroro much damage was done.

Mad Don KiuLED. Ycsterday afternoon, offl shot a mad Jog, in 4th avenue nfwr lh interest of the contractor. The exposure of the fads in the case have called out a reply from the Superintendents, who were in favor of entering into a contract by which the county lost, in purchasing two thousand tons of coal, at least kn tKotsaml d'M'irs. When Shyloek understands the law to favor his thirst for blood, he is elam oiousfoi" the terms of the bond if tlie Superintendents were themselves the contractors they could not be more zealous sticklers for a construction of the law detrimental to the interests of the tax payers, whose paid servants the Superintendents are. The three Superintendents who tide with the contractor affirm that when they advertise for proposals forthe supply of coal they are obliged to give the contract to the lower bidder, when two bids arc received, regardless of couse.jtu necs.

This is in effect saying that they are always at the mercy of the dealers in any article they need. In the present case they advertised for C000 tons of coal: thev reeoivo hot two bids, though there are hundreds of coal dealers in the two cities. The terms proposed in both bids are exorbitant, and yet they conceive thoy have option but to except the lower of the two. Perhaps we ought, instead of censur contractor, who undertakes to supply about double the usual rates, to for being so moderate in dealing with r. interpret the law not to protect tct to leave them at the mercy of ary ari evt ry combination of speculators.

Three cf were in favor of giving a eoa'hue: for coal, when the appearance of the rebels in Peat: iylvsaU gaTc the coal dealers an ex. use for advancing the price to a fabulous njuro. The lasted but two or three days: the Saa jric tciidcnts entered into the contract whea pauic was at its height. In their def.

nce, already published by us, the Superintendents say that Lecs object was to destroy the coal region of Pennsylvania, iu the hope of cripp'iiigour navy. Tills theory of Lee's purpose was first promulgated by the Richmond Dispatch, but the article did not find its way North until Lee's army was well on its way to Virginia. Will the Superintendents explain in what way they ascertained what Lee's object was before the Richmond editors did? or will they concede that this is an after thought, lugged in to justifva contract which cannot be defended? It is possible that the Superintendents or rather the three of them who are implicated iu this business spend more of their time in watching the movements of Lee's army, than is altogether compatible with the duties of their oflice. In their defense they tell us that Gens. Meade and Lee 'were ctruggHng for the mastery over each "other of the coal region of Neither army was operating iu the coal region of Pennsylvania, and had Lec been successful, we believe he would have found iu Philadelphia or Baltimore "metal more attractive" than anv which the mines of Pennsylvania yield.

The two Superintendents who favored re advertiMiig for proposals were Messrs. Bennett ioid Fitzgerald. One of these gentlemen, it appears, afterwards consented to sign the contract tl.c other retused.

Ir the facts are as stated and we have the authority of one of the Superintendents that they are the conclusion is irn sUtible that Messrs. Dey, Jewell and Mueh Lave entered into a shameless agreement by which the county has lost Now, we demand of the Board of Supervisors an investigation of the facts in this case. If they are as reported, the interference ol Governor Seymour is demanded. Neither of these three men should be retained another day in oflice. If this affords a specimen of the manner in which bids for supplies are given out, the old days of county mismanagement have bmn revived, divesttd only of the jolly junketings which distinguished the former regime.

We have a more gloomy Board ol Superintendents, and a one, as the tax payers of this county will find to theircost. The Riot. To the disgrace of the people of New York the riot is still unbred. There are men enough in her streets to day idle regretting the might put down the riot in hall an hour if they would resolutely set about it. The Mayor and the local authorities of New York have disap.

pcared from the scene altogether. The Governor of the State is the only man who appears to be desirous of doing anything, and the radical editors, who are trembling in their breeches for the safety of their offices ami their persons, unite in nothing but in an attempt to weaken his influence, A single instance will illustrate the apathy of the people. A meeting was called at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday. The proceeding opened with a speech in which the speaker dwelt upon the necessity of those present at once organizing to defend their houses and lives, The speech was received with immense applause. the names ol those who were desirous of joinin" together to put down the mob were then called for.

General Witmore responded amid loud applause. Other volunteers came forward few and far between until the great crowd contributed the magnificent force of seven men! Comment is unnecessary. The public prints are gravely delinquent in their duty. The Editor of the Tri'ntne, hidim' away in a garret, is clamorous for marshal law and summary vengeance; the Editor of the Thms howles for slaughter, but he leaves the work for somebody else to do. Instead of urging the people to vindicate their manhood the New York journalists are industriously engaged in proving that one or tlie other of them irresponsible for the trouble.

The Tribune lias an article to show that the World and JVcws caused all the trouble, while the latter organs make it out "as plain as print" that the radical organ3 made all the muss. For all that New York ap peurs to be inclined to do for itself, a few hundred rioters may obtaid complete ascendency. Put down the trouble and then quarrel about the cause of it genilemcn. New York is safe Col. Jack and E.O.
