The Democrats of the Second Congressional Distnet met yesterday and placed in nomination Hon.

Martin Kaxbtleisch, at present Mavor of tins city. Of this nomination it is not necessarv for us to say a word. We ask every man who has any stake in the prosperity of this citv to refer again to the figures which we published" on Tuesday. They tell their own story. The expenses of the city government have been reduced in one year nearly a quarter of million of dollars; the rate of taxation in consequence is over twenty five per cent less than last year.

All this has been effected mainly through the exertions of Martin Kalbflcisch. Successful in au extensive business, to Mr. Kalbflcisch politics lutsbeen but the avenue of achieving that position among his fellow men for which it should be the pride of every man to strive to attain. Since the war broke out 110 man in this city has done more to alleviate the sufferings which it necessarily entailed. Frugal of the public money, of his own he is as liberal as any man.

His cmrse in Congress will be marked by he same characterist ies which has distinguished him in his present position. The knave and (lie swindler will find in him a vigilant foe. At this time, when profligacy is the rule and not the Extract from a Letter on the Battle Field. This battle (Antietam) has been the most sanguinary of the war, and the only one fought with visible design and upon military principles. The arrangement or out porpB the overlooking positionof thecommanding General the sending into action the right and left divis.

ions excites besvilderlng admiration, and curries the mind to the great fields of Augtcrlitz and Wagrara, fought by Napoleon. Of all this have I spoken. Tho heart history of such a conflict, purchased by tho life and blood of twenty thousand men, must be found in the hospitals. War has its glories bsit it has its ten thousand demons in thec unman tortures, that make tho eyeballs ache tho heart bleed tho lipspalsy, and the brain reel. Tho sight is at first positively unendnrublo.

Tho life blood of sonic is still trickling away in silent calmness while the dissevered limbs and maniac brain of others give rise to sounds God grant I may not again witness. But ye mothers who here seek a son or wives a bus. band or sisters a brother or sons a father knosv and be consoled lliat even here the band of mercy is watchful, and better care is bestowed upon your ioved ones than might at first seem possible. It was in tho hospital, were rested the gallant Hooker, that I learned the history of those mythical words eo often seen and no lit tl0 understood, T. 16G0 Anything alleviating tha sufferings and saving the lives of our soldiers, is a national blessing.

I svitnesscd some astonishing results from this article. It is well known the effect of burnt gunpowder and excitement is thirst, which added to the loss of blood in the wounded, creates the necessity of a reviving stium. lant. In this particular hospital, the phvsicians were allowing their patients to drink Plantation Bitters otherwise called S. 18G0 ami although the wounded are most numerous here this division having opened the fight at 5 in the morning the men svore mostly composed, and there was very little fainting.

The ar lcle acts upon the stomach and nerves in a most incomprehensible manner, superior to brandy, and without subsequent stupefying re action. Il originated in the West Indies, competed ot the celebrated CalisayaEnrk, Roots Herbs, all preserved in St. Croix Hum Ihe S. T. 1W.0 being secret ingredient, not yet revealed to the public.

It is principally recommended for want of appetite, disordered liver, intermittent fevers, stomachic difficulties, I understand it was somewhat known tlie Southern Stales previous to Iho war, and it appears an agent of Jefferson Davis recently applied to tho proprietors for the privilege to make it for hospital purposes during the war, to which they made tho following reply: Isksv York, Jan. 7Cili 1G2. Agent of, Dear Sir In reply to your commuHicatioa, offering us "Fify thousand dollars for the recipe and right to make the Plantat ion Bitters for your hospital purposes during the war," we beg to ray, your price is .1 liberal one, considering it would cost us nothing to comply, and that otherwise we can derive no revenue from the Southern States; but sir, our duties to our Government and our ideas of consistency would not allow us to entertain it although it might please us to assuage the sufferings of your misguided followers. "We remain, Very respectfully vours. 1.

H. DliAiCK CO. 'These gentlemen give tho history of certain ingredient of their article for over two hundred years shosring tha through all changes of the medical profession and its practitioners, strength, composure and cheerfulness have been deriecd from these sources. Dr. Woods, in tho "Washington Ilospital, informed me that one patient was fast sinking and crazy, and had not slept an hour for I wo weeks, until the Plantation Bitters came to his knowledge, when one day's trial gave him a night's rest, and lie was now fast recovering.

I am surprised our Govern, menl has not eipuiled Jefferson Davis in energy, and and adopted this invaluable article in all our hospitals The weak soldiers cling to it like a brother.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, the delegates were called by wards, omitting the contested delegations from the 5th, loth, and 15th Wards.

The reports of the committee on contested delegations svas then called for. r. J. J. Anderson, chairman of the committee reported that they had unanimously agreed that in regard to the Fifth Ward there was no contest, a protest only having been submitted, and therefore recommended that the delegates heretofore reported be received.

As to the Thirteenth Ward they had examined several witnesses, and came to the conclusion that the ticket headed by J. A. Brady should be admitted. In the Fifteenth Ward there was no serious difficulty, and the ticket headed by Mr. Brown svas reeouimend ed for admission.

Mr. D. (). Bradley hoped the question would be divided, and made a brief explanation of the dilliculty in the loth Ward as obtained from the evidence before tiie committee of another convention, lie contended that the ticket headed by Mr. Briggs was legitimately elected and that the delegation should be admitted.

Mr. A. 11. Gale thought it unfair and derogatory to the character of a gentleman to divulge the proceedings of another body. He ss as opposed to a division of the question.

Mr. Wm. M. Morris suggested that the subject be referred to the committee. The motion to divide the question svas put and cnriicd.

On motion of Judge Birdseyc the report ofthe Convention, so far as regarded the Fifth Ward svas adopted. Mr. Birdseyc then moved to dispose of the 15th Ward in the same svay, which was also agreed to, and both delegations were admitted. A motion was made to adopt the report of the committee regarded the 13th ward, when Mr. Bradley again re stated the case on the part of the Briggs delegation, and moved that they be ndmitted.

After some furt licr remarks it was eventually determined 1o allow one of each of the delegations to make a statement of the case. Mr. Stilwell on one side, and Mr. Briggs on the other, made theirrcspective statements, when Mr. Bradley's amendment was put and lost by 17 ayes to 5 nays.

The report of the committee was then adopted. A motion to go into ballot for Commissioner of Taxes was carried, and Messrs. Wm. Hunt and Wm. M.

Launch of the United States Steam Frigate Ticonderoga, The United States steam sloop of war Ticon. tlei ogn, which has for some time past been building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was yesterday consigned to her destined element, from the western ship house at this place, the launch passing oil' very satisfactorily.

The Ticonderoga is the sister ship to theLacka. wanna, and somewhat resembles that vessel iu appearance. The Ticonderoga was launched on the magnificent launching ways which were prepared for the ship Loure, but the day was very unpropitious, and comparatively but a small assemblage witnessed the launch. In appearance the Ticonderoga is rather old stylish, but the work seems to have been thoroughly performed, and a view of the vessel after she was in the water, left a very favorable impression on the beholder. She is not quite so jaunty and rakish looking as the other vessels built at the Navy Yard, and her straight stern detracts much from the beauty of the ship.

The vessel was built under the auspices of Mr Delano, svho appears to be very successful in all his models. The dimensions ofthe ship are as follows T.ei.glh between lier.eiiilieul, irs, 204 feet 4 inches, breadth moulded. feel 4 inches; extreme breadth, feet 2 inches; depth of hold. 17 feet inches: draught of water, 1 I feet; lommgc, l.o tons. The interior svorks are nearly completed.

The vessel will have three masts and will be rigged as a fore topsail schooner She has only two decks, one used for the berths and the other for the ar niam nt, which will be of the most formidable description, and svill consist of three eleven inch pivot guns, four nine inch broadside guns, and one heavy rifled gun, which is to be placed on the forecastle. At three P. the appointed hour, the svedg. ing up had been completed, and at. the signal the sliding ways were cut, and the ship glided grace fuiiy and swiftly into the water, accompanied bv the cheers of every one present.

The ships, docks, sheds and barges in the vicinity were all crowded, and the delightful band 011 board the North Carolina added to the enthu of the people by its enlivening strains. As the vessel glided into the river she was christened by MissOfllcy, of Georgetown, who broke bottle of wine on her bow, pronouncing the svord TICONDEROGA," as she did so. On board the launch we noticed Admiral Paulding, Commodore Goldsborottghi Captains Worden and Boggs, besides a number of prominent naval officers and noted eivillians. After the launch a few invited guests repaired to the Adirondack's headquarters, svhere they sve re the recippients of a bountiful collation. Minutes flesv by swiftly, healths sve re drunk, and an hour or so passed very pleasantly before the guesls departed their ses eral ways, 'well pleased with the afternoons entertainment.

MEETING OF THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CONVENTION. Ncm of Hon. Martin KalWleischi LIVELY TliPS MOM THE POLITICIANS! THE REPUBLICAN CITY CONVENTION. AVISO WERK NOM1NATK1), Second Congressional Democratic Convention, The Democratic representatives of the Second' Congressional District met yesterday at ZellerV Three Mile House. Very many ofthe prominent politicians of Kingscounty were present.

Before the convention met, the outside delegates dis. etissed the chances ofthe opposing candidates for the nomination, who were understood to be Hon; Martin Kalblleisch, Mayor of this city, and Hon Samuel Garrison, County Judge of this county At two o'clock the convention was called to order. Hon. A. A.

Myers temporarily filled the place ot cnairinan. Mr. JHartm, isth Ward, appointed Secretary at a subsequent stage of the proceedings. There being a number of persons present claiming to act as substitutes, who were not residents' of (be district, Mr. Richard J.

Newman offered he following resolution Eesolved That no delegate be admitted to this convention svho is not a resident of this Congressional dis Thc friends of Judge Garrison at once took ex ception to this resolution, but Dick Newman whose reputation as a parliamentarian almost rivals that of the late Thomas Benton, pressed his resolution with skill and adroitness It was objected, finally, that the Convention was not yet organized permanently. Mr. Newman's respect for parliamentary usage forbade him contesting this point. The delegates, on motion, left the room, and entered as their names were called Mr. T.

Farrell, 2d Ward, was appointed Sergeant at Arms and warned to be so far mindful of parliamentary customs as to prcventforeibleingress if out As lonald did at Wagram, so Farrell took his place, knowing that on his firmness everything depended. The delegates having been again admitted, Mr Newman proposed that A. A. Myers take the chair permanently. After some opposition from the Garrison men, this motion was carried.

Mr. Newman now pressed his resolution. Ex FurcY, of the 5th, seemed to think it was aimed at him, and he claimed the right to talk to the resolution. This was objected to, and Mr. Furey touched a sympathetic cord bv claiming the right of free speech.

Dick Newman is not the man to have so important a principle thrown in his path. He was for free speech in a Democratic Convention and outside of it. He was for hearing Mr Furey stipulating that he (Newman) should be heard in reply. Dick said he was not onlv an advocate for free speech, but he was a friend of that other Democratic principle that every community should regulate its own affairs. The residents of the Second Congressional District are fullv capable of managing their own business; they are responsible for the representatives they choose and they did not want Mr.

Furey or anv other outsider in this convention. Mr. Furey then commenced his oration. Letting his zeal get the better of his discretion he declared that "Mayor Kalbfleiseh was no Democrat." This cut Mr. Furev's speech off in the middle, for a friend of Mayor Kalbfleiseh walked up deliberately to Mr.

Furey and repeated, each time with additional emphasis, the following words' 'The man who says Mayor Kalblleisek. is not a Democrat is a liar'r" luis delegate went on tos vc 1... impeached 1he Mayor Democracy was not only a liar, but was a deliberate insulter of the delegatus in this convention, who meant to vote for Mr. Kalbtieisch. He was opposed to Mr.

Garrison, butif any man said that he (Garrison) was not a Democrat he would tell him in like manner that he was a liar. Mr. Furey did not rally after this attack. The resolution was carried. "Exit Furey.

Mr. Patrick Kecnan, who is a verv little, albeit a very obslreperous man, was charged with being an intruder in the convention. Somethiti" more than a discussion seemed likelv to ensue' to avoid which Mr. Macauley (svho 'throughout this convention was in the interest of peace and order) carried Mr. Kecnan to the door and placed him on the outside of it.

In a few minutes Mr. Kecnan returned, claimed to be a substitute and "had his claim allowed." Mr. Newman now moved that tellers be appointed by the chair. Two were appointed, but Newman seemed to have some doubts that thev were, as they ought be, divided in their preference s. fix' therefore bad recourse to Jefferson's Manual and to the usages of the party, and claimed that there should be three teller.

After some debate, Mr. James Campbell (who was friendly to Kalblleisch) was added to the two already appointed. Mr. Newman then moved that an informal ballot I 1 entt red into, which motion sw.s seconded by Mr. Martin Breen, a zealous friend of the Mas 01's.

At this point il was evident that the Kalblleisch delegates were largely in the majority and the Garrison men lost their temper in 'consetiencc Mr. Kalbllciseli, Mr. Garrison, and Tunis g' Bergen were placed in nomination bv their respective supporters, and the informal ballot was entered into svith the fullosving result: M. Kalbfieisrh 0.3 S. Harrison T.

G. Bergen "Whole number of votes At ibis point a rosvsecmcil imminent, and it is delayed but not prevented bv a motion to enter into a formal ballot. The ballot was bciii" proceeded svith, when otic delegate declared that the zealous Kecnan had put tsvo tickets in the hat The explosion followed. The hat was grabbed from the teller, svho secured it minus the ballot as it was being thrown out ofthe window. A scene of indescribable confusion follosved instigated by the friends of Mr.

Garrison. A free light was improvised, in which Mr. Keenan (and Mr. Duffy, of the 2d Ward,) tsvo of the smallest men in the room, figured largest. The outsiders were determined to have a hand in, and they forced a side door and quickly filled the room.

Donnybrook, minus theshillelahs, was outrivaled for about fifteen minutes. The motto of about half the del gntes seemed to be "whereveryou sto head hii it. The warlike Keenan seized a chair and threatened to ri move at least one Kalbfleiseh vote, but the powerful and peaceful Macaulay interposed, much to the disgust of all in the interest of the coroners of this county. Mr. Philip Clare, of the (5th Ward, (svho wain.

a delegate; mounted the platform and moved that Judge Garrison be nominated by acclamation. The ten Garrison men vociferously applauded this motion and declared it tobe carried. Hon. A. A.

Myers, the Chairman, whose conduct was deserving of great praise, looked calmly on the troubled waters until they subsided, which they did after about half an hour. The room was cleared partially, and business resumed. 'Mr. Patrick Keenan moved that the Conven ion do now adjourn. The irrepressible Newman who had remained a passive member while the rosy was going on.

now advanced armed to the teeth with parlia' im nbiry pri cedents. His point now was that a motion to adjourn was not in order, for the reason that a formal ballot had been entered into and svas being proceeded svith, when the "irregular opposition" had commenced. The pointful' course, svas declared to be well taken bv Ihe veteran Myers, and the business svas renewed at the point svhere it svas interrupted. The friends of Mr. Bergen withdrew his name, and the result ofthe formal ballot was declared' 1 (1 he as follusvs: Whole number of sotcs cast Kalhth isch I Jarrison 11 Mr.

AUlcn .1. Spooler cilh the meeting to by li OVluj" tlu't Mr. J. i' (otls ie, In last evening's issue of the Eagle sve published a brief notice ofthe proceedings of the Unitarian Convention up to 12 M. At that hour, the sacrament was administered by the Rev.

Osgood, and the Convention theu adjourned die. In the course ofthe morning an able essay was read by Mr. E. S. Mills, of this city, and a discussion svas had upon the subject of "preaching." llev.

O. B. Frotkinghani addressed the Convention in eloquent terms upon this subject, and in he course of his remarks eulogised the vespers lately introduced iuto the services of the denomination. He thought the demand forgood preaching was a sign that the people were worshipping God more than they ever did before. It was Ti sign of a revival of religion to see people askino questions and yearning for the truth, and also a sign of mental activity caused by the necessary and inevitable devotion of peoiffe at this time to their osvn interests.

People wanted to know what the truth was, to understand it simple and pure, and have it put before them in the plain English of the day, not in Latin as in the service of the Catholic Church. When there was a real sermon preached, we saw the people really passing through a spiritual experience. The living sermon, coming from the live heart that was full of hope and of humanity had all the people with it. It was prayer it was worship it was uplifting it was' belief, and the people went away from such a sermon with tears in their eyes, and they talked of it as they walked down the street; and people felt, as it svere, a foot higher than they did an hour before. That was the right sort of a sermon.

The reverend gentleman went on to show that the advance of the church out of its old superstitions and formularies was effected through preaching, and iu this connection he referred to the fact that the Catholic Church, iu its self defence, felt constrained to inaugurate preaching a preaching full of humanity and piety, and which brought, out the utterances of a Wickliffand a Savanorala, nd this in time ultimated in the Reformation. Tlie speaker adverted to the vespers of the Catholic Church, spoke in complimentary terms of the beautiful music, but regretted that the people did not understand a word of Latin prayers which were sung. He appeared to think hat this fact detracted i'rom the devotional influence of the Catholic vespers. As a liberal Christian, however, he held "that, if the people wanted vespers in plain English, then let them have vespers if they wanted sacraments, give them sacraments. But all their labor would be in vain, unless the people were given what their stomach wanted and could digest.

If the people wanted sermons on the war just now, there was plenty of them; or sermons upon slavery, then they had had an abundance of them. Or if they wanted sermons on the living questions ofthe day, then the ministers must consecrate themselves to the work, and become students of social science, and give their people the very juice of it. It was not the creed of St. Paul or of St. Augustine that they should give them but exactly what the people wanted.

Old sermons, smelling of ashes, written years ago, would uot do. No, the sermons must be written on and out of the questions of the week, and so make themselves popular preachers, or even sensational preachers. tor mere was no more ready mode ot reaching men's hearts than by a sensation through their senses. He favored' the general tone and style of Unitarian preaching nosv a days, in that it svas not merely doctrinal, or confined itself to announcing what the world might be or ought to be, but spoke broadly of things as they really existed. IU v.

Dr. Osgood agreed with Mr. Frothingham in all he said abont preaching, but he did not agree with him in disparaging the other portions of religious services. As to preaching, the trouble about it iu his mind was, that thev had too much preaching. He thought one sermon a week was enough for any man to deliver to be really as effective as it be.

In consequence of too much preaching, it often happened that the fountain instead of pouring forth a gush, merely gave a feeble dribble. Tsvo sermons on a Sunday were one too mauy. He svas also opposed to ministers reading their sermons from manuscript. thought that all the attractions of elocution ought "to be brought to bear in preaching so that the sermon might be rendered the more forcibly effective. He did not know of more suggestive sermons than those furnished in the extemporaneous addresses of that very week in that Convention.

He rejoiced that there was so much of fellowship and hu manitauianism in those discourses. He eulogized the Vesper service as being essentially promotive of a more extensive fellowship and communion among the participants in it. The charm of the. Catholic Vespers was not merely in the delightful music; it was in the idea of communion of spirit which rose above the mere sensual enjoyment; and he held that the Catholic Vesper service, though marked by somewhat of superstition, was in reality a beautiful evidence of a spiritual elevating Communion with ideas the most high, and was equally acceptable to the most cultivated or ignoram minds. He held that the vesper service ofthe Unitarian Churches operated in alike manner, and he svas happy that thereby the denomination did not place" themselves as it were on a pinnacle of a Mont Blanc, like isolation as to intellectual individualism, but rather occupied the ground of a broad, liberal humanitarian communion and fellosvship.

P.cv. Mr. Mayo addressed the Convention, and in tlie course of his remarks asked hosv it was that these liberal churches (ihe Unitarian,) had not the people svith them inthcirpreaehiug, while the other preaching churches, the Coiigrctalion alists. Methodists, Presbyterians and ipMsts in their churches the bone and sinew ofthe Amcrhan people. Thousands of people attended tl.o.

churches svho did not believe in the theology therein preached. The cause of this he thought svas found in the ss aut of concentrated and practical organization to carry out and propagate the liberal institutions of the church. People complr. hied that in tlie Unitarian Churches they svere not given anything to do. Not so in the so called Orthodox Churches.

There, every man and woman, according to his or he 'talent was put at the head of some work, and were ali brought to feel that they were a portion of one great machine; and no matter how distant or obscure their sphere of action, they svere all made to feel that they had a great organized power at their back to sustain them in their work. He thought the Convention should take some 'steps secure the menus for tbepropagation of liberal Uniteiiau principles as a vital and energizing posver throughout the length and breadth ofthe land. Further observations upon the subject of discussion were made by Mr. Webb, (Elizabeth City.) Rev. Messrs.

Consvav, Pierpoint, Drs Gannett, (Boston;) Hill, (Worcester,) and llev. Mr. Collycr, Chicago. In the evening t)Te delegates to the Convention svere elegantly entertained at tlie hospitable mansion of A. A.

We are mistaken if tlie news of the result uf the elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Oliio will not be recived with as much gratification by President Lincoln as by any man in the lami. Henceforth he may defy the radicals and can with safety resist the pressure which has added so much to the troubles which surround him, and winch has rendered his position so unenviable and has secured for himself the sympathy (if men who sincerely and honestly opposed the par. ty of which he is the representative, lie has more reason to detest the radicals than any man in the land, for he has suffered the sorest at their hands.

There is every reason to believe that his proclamation of emancipation was issued against Lis better judgment. But teu days before it was published, he himself most cogently argued that it would be useless, and that it would expose both himself and the administration to ridicule The simile he used that it would be as futile as a "bull against the appearance of the comet "is exceedingly appropriate. Ev en with this opinion before the public, Mr. Lincoln issued his proclamation. We will not insult his understanding by supposing that he did so with the approv.

of. his better judgment. Every man will readily appreciate the mortification he must have felt in acting in direct conflict with his publicly avowed opinion. Tiiat he was actuated by a desire to serve his country we do not doubt The proclamation was issued at a time when an increase of the army was of all things inflispen! I'le. Horace Greeley had told him "that if he declared emancipation there were nine hundred housand men holding back that would promptly take up arms on the appearance of the proclamation.

Issue it, said Governor Yates of Illinois and men will spring as it were from the earth in my State. Let us have the proclamation vociferated Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts, and the roads of New England will swarm with troops hastening to the defence of the country. Those men have deliberately, knowingly andwilfully deeeived the President. Instead of the roads of New England swarming with volunteers, a draft is now being carried out in Massachusetts no giant has sprung from the earth in Illinois, 'and Crecley has outrivalled Fallstaffin the quality of lying.

Can the president feel otherwise than ju bilunt over the defeat of the principles of the men who have so foully deceived him It would be an iniiitlt to his manhood not to believe that he will be relieved by the assurance that he can fol 1 the dictates of his own judgment heedless of radical blustering. The October elections are significant, not for any bearing the result lias upon the war now be ing waged. All parties were united on one point" that the Government should be sustained. The principle involved mainly was this one, has an American citizen the right to freely discuss of public policy, amenable for his eon duct only to the law, and punishable onlv under a verdict of his peers? The Republican parts denies: this right; they affected to scoff at the lass tiiat wnr made W.v.o of iVw rc Were shut up, and because probably a few imio fuiit men were imprisoned. But it is no liirht matter.

The principle is the same whether one man or one million suffers under it. A blow at the rights of one man is a blow at thr rights of every citizen. The people of Pemisy ivania, Ohio and Indiana have recorded their verdict, and in the light of it ss take tip the work before us in New York Slate with renewed hope, never doubting now but the principles of the' fathers of the Republic are a dear as ever to their descendants. The people of New York will hn. prove on The example of our sister States.

They will stand by the Constitution as they have known it they will labor for the restora. O)' the Uninn in any and every svay left open lothem. They will secure it thromrii an honorable and peaceful reconciliation if possible, and if no alternative be left open to theni bul and disunion, they svill wage the former, taking cave that its progress shall not be staved bs any side issue, keeping always in view "the Vnion under the Constitution, knowinir hat hen till 1 obtained, all else will follow in good time. The Army or the Potomac Advancing. The l.esvs this morning is encouraging.

The army of the Potomac is advancing. The neces Bary delay occasioned by the battle of Antietam has been followed by a forward movement across the Potomac, and an attack of the enemy. The division under General Hancock left Harper's ferry at an early hour yesterday iuorning on the road to Cliarle tnsvn in Virginia, and met the enemy's picke in force mar Ilalltown, driving them in svith artillery, and following them up toward Charles" luwn, which place our troops occupied abour 110011. A a line of battle was the Heights near Bunker Hill, the enemv's lines extending from that point to Shenandoah river. After a slight skirmish the rebels fell Ijaek and our fortes pushed on 1svo miles farther.

Im mediately after the firing was heard nil the troops along Bolivar, Loudon mid Maryland Heights were under arms and Xeady to move. That is all the information re. ceived in regard to actual hostilities. Gencivi IdcClellan, accompanied by his wife, passed through Harper's Ferry in the afternoon, ett route for the advanced post on the Winchester road, lid arriving at Charlcstown at two o'clock P. Another advance was made about the same 1 'me by General Humphrey who crossed at Ulackfordsford ami advanced on Shepards U.wn.

He was met by the rebels, who ops nvd a beuvy tire with artillery, and a (Jen. Humphrey had no artillery he retired, af obtaining such information about the dispo "rtlil' tu'i'iv's forces as lie desired. These mov, nts indicate that something will be done Con ing the Indian summer. It also appears that Gen. reeonnoilering force toward Lcesburg and Urainsville.

The ib af, sinners held a meeting this morning ty Judge's Chambers, to take niea uin to com! lucnce the performance of the dtiti. devolving 110011 them. Judge Advocate Authon was a.d bristly addressed the Commissioners upon the nature of he il ul ies which thev were called p. .11 to perform, lie spoke of the ca which li 1 11 taken to havens pei feet a roll taken sible, and admonished them to be p.riirukn 1 careful in their invc 1 igat ion of claims for exemption, so that in ne win, were entitled to serve could shirk their nsponsiliilitv. tha in a few days be would circular more minutely defining t'neir duties.

The Commissioners will hold their first meeting i the County Judge's Chambers, on Monday next, claims of exemption, and svill com session daily from it a. M. until 4r. m. and wi 111, liv.ip of the Adjutant General, be enipo'sver cd to net as Provost Marshals, ami will have nflL rc nil ''Vet to their order, to preserve the paec! exception, tne election of Martin Kalbfleiseh to Congress, will be a public benefit.

Mr. Kalbfleiseh is a man of vigorous understanding, straightforward and practical in all he savs anj docs. Though a self made man, and alwavs en gaged in active pursuits, he has not omitted tlij cultivation of a very vigorous intellect. There are few men has accatired a larger share of information and none can more readily command la knowledge at his disposal. We regard the election of Mr.

Kalbileischas a foregone conclusion. The friends of good local government will be gratified to learn that in the event of his elec ion, we shall not lose his services as Mayor mi il a year from December next. In the Third Congressional District, this morning, Hon. Moses Y. floll vns nominated.

We take an especial pleasure in recording the fact. Mr. Odell is one of the most active and' men who ever represented this city. He has been, it ever a man was, the servant of the people. No man or woman, however poor, has asked a favor of Moses F.

Odell, however much personal labor it it involved, that he did endeavor to obtain. His devotion to the Brooklyn regiments at the war, his zeal in advancing the interests of thei, families at home have deserved and have secured universal praise. In selecting Moses F. Odell the Democratic party hare again shown where they stand on the war. Theie could not be a better refutation of the slanders of their opponents than his nomination offers.

Mr. Odell will carry his district party lines will not divide the vote. We now regard the two districts as secure for the Democracy, and thus do we respond to the good news from Indiana and Ohio. In the Fourth Assembly District, comprising the 2d, 3d and 5th wards, the Democrats have nominated James Darey. Mr.

Darey has represented this District twice. Last year he was elected against the Union candidate the only Democrat in the county who achieved such a distinction. In the last session of the Legislature, Mr. Darey opposed the nefarious Health Bill, and we do not remember au instance in which his vote was uot on the side of econoniv and good government. His party are under peculiar obligations to James Darey, for it was mainly through him that a Democratic organization was kept up during the last session "of the Legislature.

Mr. Darey has a very weak candidate against him, and his election is not doubtful. For the First District (Eighth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Wards, and County towns,) the Democracy have nominated Mr. John Paulding. Mr.

Paulding is a young man, new in public life, and a lasver by profession. He is, sve of Cu.iiiioO oi I'uuica of a family whose name will be foreverassoeiatesl with the glories of our Navy. Mr. Paulding is a descendant of one of the captors of Major Andre, He comes of good slock. The Republicans have placed the following ticket before the people For Tax Commissioner Fred Scholes For Comptroller Thus.

Cottrcll. For Auditor A. M. Bliss. For Ciiy Treasurer Eil.

A. T.nmbcrt. lor Collector of Taxes Chas. A. Kimball.

This can hardly be regarded bv the Republicans as a strong ticket. Mr. Sclioles has been in the Board of Aldermen; he ran against Martin Kalbfleiseh for Mayor and was very "badly beaten. Mr. Cottiell holds a minor" position in the Water Department.

Of Mr. Bliss, we know but little. Mr. Kimball at represents the Eleventh Ward in the Board of Aldermen. Mr.

Lambert is an ex Mayor of this city. He ha been Democrat he forsook that party for the K. Vs, and turned up as a Republican, and now claims hi reward. L'nlcss 'he public have been deceived, and the K. N.

party can still help Mr. Lambert, his nomination is unfortunate for his associates on the ticket. We lay before our readers, at the ropiest of Hie Army and Navy Committee of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association the following extracts from letters lately received from a lads who is actively engaged in uR. hospitals in and around Washington, and who has hen thr. recipient of a portion of the supplies sent from Brooklyn.

20. Paxic Among tije Children. A slight tire broke out yesterday afternoon, in Public School No. 20, in South 4th street. As soon as the lire was discovered the utmost alarm was exhibited by the children, svho in spite of flic efforts of the teachers, made a pell mell rush for he doors, and in the struggle to get out, a number of them svi re injured.

One hoy, named Davis, svhose parents reside in South 4th street, had his leg liiolo n. A little girl named Kmily Washburn residing in South 8th street, sustained a compound fracture of tlie collar bone. A boy, whose name our reporter could not ascertain, svas suffocated svith the smoke and taken out ofthe building in an insensible condition. His recovery is considered doubtful. These are believed' to l.e all the casualties of a serious character that occurred.

As soon as the alarm for the lire svas given, it svas responded to by the fire Depart 1111 lit in strong force, and uiicii il bee mic knosvn that the scliool lunise svas on drc the greatest excitement, confusion and alarm prevailed.
