It seems strange even to me, but it is true, that the Government is now pressed to this course by a popular demand. Thousands who wish not to personally enter the service, are nevertheless anxious to pay and send substitutes, provided tney ean have assurance that unwilling persons, similarly situated, will be compelled to do likewise. Besides this, volunteers mostly choose to enter newly formed regiments, while drafted men can be sent to rill up the old ones, wherein man for man they are quite doubly as valuable. vou ask, "Why is it that the North, with her great armies, so often is found with inferiority of numbers face to face with the armies of the South?" While I painfully know the fact, a military man, which I am not.

would better answer the question. The fact I know has not been overlooked, and I suppose the cause of its continuance lies mainly in the other fact that the enemy holds the interior and we the exterior lines, and that we operate where the people convey information to the enemy, while he operates where they convey none to us. I have received the volume and letter which you did me the honor of addressing to me, and for which please accept my sincere thanks. You are much admired in America lor the ability of your writings, and much loved lor your generosity to us and your devotion to liberal principles uenerally. You are quite right as to the importance to us? for its bearing upon Europe, that we snoula achieve military successes, and the same is true for us at home as welt as at road, "jet it seems unreasonable that a series of successes, extending through half a year, and clearing more a 4 Keligious Intelligence.

The residents r-f Girard avenue, in the neighborhood of Filth jireet, were much annoyed last Sunday, by the icjii'iuct of a number of unruly men and boys.

Ipany of whom were intoxicated. The lager eer saloons were nearly all thrown open and free sale of liquor appeared to to have taken ace in them by the actions of those who were itind there. As an evidence of that fact, at tine of the bars young men could be seen freely Indulging in drinking, whether the drinks eie jdven to them as acts of friendship is not known. Complaints Cave been made of the evil ius rraciit-ed, and it is hoped thatitwill not be -iteated.

I believe it ia true that, in men and material, the enemy suffered more than we in that series of conflicts, while U. is certain he is less able to bear it. With us every soldier ia a man of character, and must be treated with more consideration tl an is customary In Europe.

Assault and Batteky Case. Yesterday af ternoon, three young men wore arraigned be fore Alderman Beitler, at the Central Station, charged with having committed an assault and battery upon Mr. O. R. Pearsol and Mr.

Lewis J. Craus. The above named gentlemen were attending a picnic on Wednesday evening at the Schuylkill Park. Mr. Pearsol had his wife with him.

During his absence two of the ac cused went to the table where his wife was seated and insulted her. On Mr. Fearol's re turn he was apprised of the conduct of the I conduct of the young men. He remarked to I one of them that thev had better leave. About half an hour later the accuses! returned with several others and commenced an attack upon Mr.

Pearsol. He was struct on the face and on the back of his neck. Mr. Crans, who was but a short distance away, was also as.saulted. The accused were bound over to answer.

Friday, Aug. 11, 1865. From the downward course of the gold premium during the last two or three days, it would seem as if the "combination" formed some weeks ao to keep gold up to 11a had dissolved partnership. Yesterday the premium fell off 14 per and to-day it declined 1). per cent, from the opening price.

Many of the sales, to-day, were at HI, and from present appearances buyers will be likely to get all they want at much lower rates. In the absence of demand for export the speculators calculated upon an absorption of gold to pay customs, but the sale of the surplus gold belonging to the Treasury interfered very seriously with this arrangement, and the only hope left was to yield as philosophically as possible to fate. The New York IXmes of this morn-iug says on this subject: The cold speculation is weaker, not only in price but in the apparent conlidenee with which the movement is conducted, and the brokers in this clique have Iwn lending out their gold since Monday with more freedom, and paying all the way from four to seven perceot. interest to the party borrowing, and iisinn it in place of lending free of interest, and exacting a small commission in addition, as in July. here the gold, or cert ified checks representing it in the Bank of New York, are withheld from use iu the market, the chief engineers in the speculation, who are understo.1 to be strong men.

The Stock market was rather fcea-vy to-day, but there was scarcely any change iu prices. The volume of business at the Stock Exchange was about as large as that of yesterday. Government Loans were steady, the Ten-forties selling at 93X. and the JSeven-thirties at 90-4. Five-twenties closed at 105 t)id, and the Sixes of 1SS1 at 100-i.
