Marcellus Emory, editor of the Bangor publishes a statement of the outrage upon his paper, in the Portland Argus. Being already apprised of the purpose to attack bia office, he saya I censed a written notice to be sorvee ou the Mayor by two of our prominent and leading citl zenn, informing him of the fact that my office and property were threatened with destruction by a mob, and claiming and demanding of him protection for them. In the notice I tendered him for that purpose the services of able bodied men to the number of two hundred. The mayor made neither response nor reply to this notice, nor did be give to the citizens by whom the notice was served, or to me, or to any of my friend the least assurance or encouragement that he would attempt to give the protection claimed and demanded. Ou Saturday morning a call appeared in the Whig and Courier for a "Udiou" Meeting in No rombega Hal), to be holden that evening.

I was not wesent. but am credibly informed that Won. H. McCrillis, representative to the Begisliture from this city and Charles S. Crosby, County Attorney, mode inflamatory speeches.

And here it should be said, to iho honor of Henry E. Prentiss, Etq that he attempted to make a speech opposing the cff.iriS then aud there being mule to create a mob spirit, but bis voice wa3 power Icie amidst a tempest of hisses. Tae meetinsr accomplished the object for which it was designed by those who originated it. On Saturday and Sunday nights it became evident that my property was to receive no protection from the Mayor. I took such precautions as were necessary for its security.

To day I proceeded as usual on Mondays to print and mail tny issues for one week. During the forenoou there were no indications, that I saw, of mob violence. I left my editorial room about 12.25, to go to my dinner, my bcardiae place being about a half of a mile distant. Whilst eating, tlie fire bells were rurg. After finishing my meal, I sat out to return to my office.

Soon after I met two gentlemen in a buggy, who informed me that my offke had just The Government Loan. The financial difficulties of the Government have been got over, at least for the present. Mr. Chase has been in consultation with the Bank Presidents of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and the result of their deliberations is, the banks of those cities propose to lend the government 850,000,000, receiviog Treasury notes as security they alBO reserve the privilege of taking a further $100,000,000, In two instalments of $50,000,000, ou condition that they give certain stipulated notice; The Secretary of State first proposed to negotiate a sale of government bonds at par, payiDg seven per cent, interest. The capitalists refused this oiler, on the ground that these terms were higher than the present market rates for government securities.

By the act of Congress, the Secretary was restricted to the terms he proposed, and thi3 lorn fell through. The present loan is a conditional one. The bankers propose that "An appeal to the "people for subscriptions to the national loan is "io be made by the government, and as the subscriptions for the notes progress, and the mo "neys are paid in, ihe same shall be paid over to "the government, or deposited with banks selected by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the "concurrence of a Committee of the Associates "a tid so much of the proceeds of said loan as shall "be required for the purpose shall be applied in "reimbursement of the associates for subscription, by them paid in and not otherwise reim ''bursed." Thus, it seems, the banks stand between the people and the government, depending, in some measure, for reimbursement on the success of the national loan. The issuing of Treasury notes having but a short time to tud, and liable to go back on the hands of the govern, mint through its creditors, is but a temporary expedient. The rotes are conve: tible into bond8 having twenty years to run, and with the pros THE HAVY TABD.

The United States storeship National Guard sailed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday! for the Florida division of the blockade fleet, to stay ultimately at Fori Pickens. She took a very large cargo of all sorts of necessaries, including coal, rigging materials, ordinance stores, No soldiers or sailors, except her own crew, were on board. The National Guard is fully armed and well able to protect herself, having no less than six formidable guns on deck. Among the local naval movements yesterday, were the arrival of 1,400 shell for cannon at the Navy Yard, and that of a detachment of United States sailors from Buffalo, in this State, which is becoming quite an acquisition as a recruiting post. The men were placed on hoard the receiving ship North Carolina, shortly nfter reaching towD.

There was a grand battalion drill of all the U. S. Marines at tb is station on the parade ground of the barracks yesterday. Bayonet and musket drill is now in. cessantly taught to the marines here, sq iads of whom are always under instructions.

Including the man'ne guard of the receiving ship North Carolina, there are now some 200 members of that branch of the service at this post, under command of Major Brevcort and Captain Doughty. The new barracks on Flushing avenue are nearly finished, and will probably he ready to receive its occuptnts in a few weeks. GENERAL SWEENEY. General Sweeney, formerly a resident of this city and well known by many, was an active participant in the battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri, and was wounded while bravely leading on his commmant1. The following desoatch received by D.

P. Barnard, Gen. Sweeney'sbrother in law from General Fremont this morning shows that his injuries are slight, and that he was enabled to accompany the army in its retreat to Springfield on horseback. 'Puniel P. Barnard, Leak irilt, After' the battle Gen.

Sweeney is reported as riding to Springfield with only aiWh wound." J. C. Fremont GENERAL WOOL. Geneisl John E. Wool arrived in New York last Dight and was escorted to his hotel by the United States ChcsEcurs.

He made a few remarks in response to the compliment. The veteran is on his way to Fortress Monroe to take command of that position. He started for Baltimore this mornirg. r.RITISn VOLUNTEERS. FORT HAMILTON AND THE ENCAMPMENTS IN THE VICINITY.

Fort Horuilton is a beautiful spot, and the view from the high bluff overlooking the Narrows is grand and imposing, especially on a calm sum. mei 's evening with the bright moon casling her silveiy reflection upon the bosom of the waters as far as the eye can reach. The flickering lights at ndy Hook, the sombre appearance of Foit Richmond on the hill upon the opposite side, the water battery below, the one light on old Fort Diamond, (now Fort Lafayette) used as a prison for political offenders; Fort Hamilton to your right, with its barbette guns pointing in all directions, the vessels passing up and down the Narrows to the left and rear the fine residences, embowered In trees and shrubbery, all conspire to make the neighborhood one of interest to the admirer of fine scenery. Fort Lafayette locks dark and dismal, and appears like anything but a desirable spot in which to be compelled to remain a3 a prisoner. Since the recent flood of writs of habeas corpus, the efficers in command of the station aro more careful of their visitors than formerly.

Now, it is difficult to obtain admission to Fort Hamilton, and even if admitted the privileges are rather circumscribed. Still, enougn. can be seen to satisfy curiosity. The Fort is garrisoned by reguiais, while upon the open space in the rear the volunteeis and the Texan troops are encamped. The tents of the voluntcersUok very whits and an air of neatress pervadeB throughout.

The Texans are nearest the Fort. The men have al1 seen hard service in Texas, and are a stout, banly, able bodied, aad, judging from appearances, contented and happy set. A short distance beyond are the tents of the Continental Guard, and it being early in the evening and rather cool tor the season, many were grouped around the camp fares and discassing matters and things in general. Still further beyond are henew, white tents of the First Regiment Long Island Volunteers. They had arrived from Fort cehuyler ihe evening previous.

Tne order to match was received by the commanding officer kl 3 on Wednesday aftetnoon, and in less than two hours thei eafter the men, all armed and accoutred, with canteens filled and camp eijui page ttortd away, were ou the steamboat, en voy age for their place of destination. They de about 7 o'ekek, pitched their tents and n.ade themselves at home. The rations could not be brought along, aud some little temporary inconvenience was caused iu consequence. Ttiey bad enough however for that night, and nest day the efficers procured all that was required. 'We saw one cilicer with three bags lull of the "staff of life which he brought from the ci and with two other ofticers shouldered it aud conveyed it lo esttp.

When officers show themselves so mindful of the comforts of the men, the latter will he more ready to do their duty; and we understand that the regiment, notwithstanding the obstacles with which they had here tofoie to contend, now compare favorably with any volunteer organization in the State. The right witg otiIj of the regiment is at Fort Lliin alton. The ieft wing remain at their old quarters. It is expected that the regiment will march to the scat of war some time the beginning of i.ext week. THE MILITIA AT THE SEAT OF WAR.

Efforts have for some time been made by lasv yusand others to procure the release of those regiments which went to the seat of war as militia, but with the understanding that they were to serve for two or three years as case might be This hfis caused and is causing a great deal of trouble ard the result will be that the men who follow the advice of those who make great pre tensioES in behalf of the soldier, will be the only sufferers. The men of the 14th reelment, we understand, have been made believe they would he discharged at the termination of their three months' service, and it is said tbat some have decided to ground their arms and refuse further duty after the 23td inst. Their legal advisers know very tney win au; )e (Jlouat'ged but would do any thing for a small fee, even if they were certain that half of the would be shot for mutiny or insubordination. We would advise the regiment to slick to thei1' colore, attend to their duty faithfully and give the lawyers a wide berth. The Second Maine Regi.

ment is similarly situated in all respects to the 14tb, and the following telegraphic dispatch from Washington will show how the latvyers succeeded with tbem The camp of the Second Maine P.egiment was the scene of a iliflieulty on Wednesday nigtit. Many of the regiment were dissatisfied at being compelled to remain in service longer than three months, they contending that Ihey were to be regarded as militia, and, if such, they could not be held longer than three months in service out of the Stale. A force of regulars were sent to their camp early in the evening, and the ringleaders of the mutiny, sixiy seven in number, were arrested, and during the night were marched through the city to the Navy Yard, where they were put on board of the Bteainer Powhaian, in custody of Lieut. Pritcbard, of the Navy, The TJih regiment also wanted to come home, and the result is that the ringleaders are arrested' and the chances are that some will be shot. The following is Gen.

McClellan's proclamation ia re. gard to the matter The General Commanding lias heard with the deepest pain of the acts of insubordination ontliepartoftlieSeven tjninth regiment. "Without attempting to enter into a discussion ol the causes, it is sufficient to say that they are frivolousand groundless; that these acts have thrown disgrace upon the regiment and the service and taking place at this time, they give rise to the strongest suspicions of the most abject cowardice. The regiment have forced upon the Cornmandimr General an issnn whioh no is prepared to meet. The men are ordered to lay down their arms and return to duty.

All those refusing to do so will be fired upon immediately. If they comply with Hie order the ringleaders only will be punished. The colors of the regiment are taken from them, and will be returned only when their conduct in camp shall have proved that they understand the first duty of a Boldier obedience; and when, on the field of battle, tuev shall have proved their bravery. The names of the leaders in this revolt will be sent to the Governor of 2few York to be placed iu the archives of the State." THE KEOUIENTS NOW ORGANIZING. Within the list three months great improvement has been made in the system of recruiting, and soldiers are now mustered into the service, encamped, subsisted, and worked up into good war material with vastly less fuss and trouble, and without the parades and drumming about the streets that occurred in former days.

Tne absence of this pomp and circumstance" may lead many to the conclusion that the war spit it has died away, but such is not the fact and, to use aa. expression made use of by an inspecting officer yesterday, "recruiting is going on as fast at present in New York as is healthy." There are forty three regiments in and around New York more or less advtnced, under the following names Anderson Zouaves, Derdan Sbarnshonti. Jinush Volunteers, Cameron Legion, Cameron ltillcs, Col.

We cannot undertake to return rejected communications FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. 10 Local Politics. Already the 'wire pulling has commenced in View of the fall electioD, and the candidates for office are busily engaged in the effort to secure the services of the men who manage the prima, ries.

Had the administration adhered to the peace policy partly agreed upon when it was decided to evacuate Fort Sumter, there would be but one party to day. The clamorous abolition faction to whose violent importunities the administration, in an evil hour, gave way, have gnashed its teeth, but the great mass of the people would have joyously sustained the administration in persevering in a policy, the bare announcement of which filled the land with rejoicing. The war, however, and the blundering and incompetent manner in which it has been conduct! defeat foliov. iDg defeat, owing to the itn bccility of those occupying the high places of trust and the perfect impunity with which Southern privateers commit their depredations or Northern commerce, while offers of vessels ive been made to the government at its own price, or at no piice at all these things, added to (he ecormous end disgraceful swindliug by which the money raied for the war has gone into the pockets of dishonest jobbers, and the solders Etarvtd and maltreated in consequence, until whole regiments became demoralized and unfit for efficient service, have destroyed the public confidence in the ability of the party in power to conduct the affairs of the nation to an honorable and satisfactory conclusion. There is therefore a fair chance of the opposition to the present phase of republicanism contending the approaching election suecessfullj and therefore there is great activity among the Democrati politicians, whose anxiety to procure nomina" lions is always proportioned to the chances of success.

There few local offices to be filled at the (ppioacbiDg e'ection the mot important are those cJ Register aid County Clerk. It is ru moied thai the tvo rival Democratic candidates for Sheriff last fail, Messrs. McLaughlin and Me. Nsmee, ore to unite on one ticket, the former to receive the nomination for RegisU and the latter for Court It is an improbable ment, and we are inclined to consider it without founrJatii n. It is not clearly ascertained whether Mr.

McLaughlin is a candidate for Register or not; his name is Drought forward by his friends, but he has not ar.nour.ced himself in the field. Ashe ran for sheriff before, he may be inclined to follow the example of Mayor Kalbileisch and direct his aspirations to the obtaining of that position when the next opportunity occurs. Mr. Lawrence is understood to be a candidate far Register Having been nominated to the same office when the party was divided, and never having aspired to aDy other, he is thought to be entitled to a nomination when there is a prospect of success. For County Clerk we hear candidates.

Mr. Bishop, formerly an active member of tne party and an ilicer of the City Committee, is spoken of and Mr. McNsmet's name is mentioned, hut wt ether the. latter gem lonim i a candidate or rot we av. tii' able say.

Fur Coroner the only nan en fbu ffiplxartt those of Mr. Be'iiughamaid Dr. Tlteie uuy Vu otbor candidates, uu; Tit have ml bfaic' of t'uetn. There is likt'y 10 uc on animated contest for members of 'he tislatuie. Fcr the Senate in the third clislri.

the candidates are Mr. Tunis G. Bcrgec, Mr. CaWieott, Aid. Tiun in, Mr.

ciu end Mr. John J. 'White. Mr. Uertren is a democrat of the old sch.

oeu of the men who dealt with the concerns of politic.il constituencies with the care ana conscientiou lectitude with which they guarded their own concerns, and Inew no other principle of action than the interests of the people committed to their care. Mr Cjllicott is a gentleman of cultivated! mind and manners, of line abilities, and an unspotted reputation. Aid. Tiernan possesses all the qualities of an able and energetic legislator, and that zeal and integrity necessary to constitute him. an effi cient advocate of wholesome legislation.

Mr. Spinola is working hard for the nomination. I' is understood that a little spoils clique of the republican parly in the district is leagued in with him, end the corrupt elements of both parties are expected to coalesce in his support. His nomination would be an interesting test of the existing degree of political degeneracy, as it would decide what amount of brazen rascality and blatant denr sgeguery a constituency could be found to tolerate and endorse. In the secord district Mr.

Gardner seems likely to be renominated and elected. His course as Serator was highly honorable and marked by abilities entirely beyond the expectation of his constituents. His record is an enviable one, dis tistinguifhed by purity of motive and manly independence. The voters of the district could not do better than re elect him. For the Assembly the usual host of candidates are in the field.

The voters should, at this crisis above all other times, select none but honest, patriotic men for public office, men who will introduce honesty and economy into the public ex. penditurts, and so far as their influence extends labor to heal the gapiDg wounds through which the life blood of the Republic is fast ebbing forth. There never was a more un ordinate army than that which Governor Wise commands in Wester a Virginia. It has been cut up, annihilated and destroyed every day for the past month. The telegraph operator has this force entirely under his control.

To doy he marches them into a ravine and places a deep river rinht iu their rear, and while in this position he brings the Union force down upon them, and the consequence is the army is entirely cut up. Next day the army is called into life, and is ordered to retreat (by the telegraph man.) While on the run the Union army comes up and the Wise men are ogiin demolished. (Vise himself has been shot dead by disgusted secessionists three times; he has been hung by Union men twice, and he has been killed in battle eight ti me3. At last accounts he is located" at SuJp'ur Springs, as well as could be expected for a man subjected to such terrible treatment at the hands of a sanguinary telegraph operator. Most of the English periodicals we have received by the Persia, contain articles on American affairs.

Details of the energy the North has put forth and its results, have reached England They knew by the last steamer thatwith' in a few months we created an army more numerous than that of ErUna, tha was lm. patient for action, and was confident of easy vie tory. The news of the late battle, and the defeat of our forces had not yet reached England, and Mr. Bull occupies his usual position on the winning side. Whether the result of the battle of Bull Run will slake his confidence in us, remains to be seen.

The news by the next steamer will be anxiously looked for. Penitential. The President has issued a proclamation appointing Thursday, Sept. 20, as a day of lasting, humiliation and prayer. The people have great need for humility and ought to pray for forgiveness for the error they committed last November and resolve to repair it at the firs opportunity.

Such prayers will have a chance to be heard. pect ef a settlement of our national difficulties within any this privilea would be eageily taken advantage of. During Pierce's ad tr.itifctratiOD, six per cent. United States stock sold at 115 readily, and we thiuk touched 120. It was then deemed xhe best security in the world.

The Viisoners at lialayette. One oi our New Toik eottmporaries states that Police Commissioner Howard, now in the hands of the u.ilitary aiuhoiities at Fort LaDy eltc, is ihe grandson of Col. Jno. Eager Howard, the hero of Uie Cowpens, the leader of thegil lont MaTylanders, who covered, themselves with glory during the Revolutionary struggle.

At the battle of the Cowpens, Col. Howard feigned a retreat, then turning suddenly fell upon the British and cut tliem to pieces. It was then and there that Tarlcton's superb legion found its master. The following letter from one of the prisoners is published in the Baltimore Exchange: Foilt LaFayette, Aug. 1S01.

IV i' are closely confined in a strong prison, denied all intercourse with any human being outside, are not per liiitu to write or lo receive newspapers, and are under sir et prison discipline, gu rded night and day by soldiers, ami treated exaetly as felons in Die Penitentiary, except that we are not yet required to work. Our prison is a massive, gloomy building, forming a liollmv square, and OYers the whole island on which it is built. Seven of us are confined in one casemate, and sloop upon straw beds, without and with but one blanket.

"Wo are in total darkness as regards what we are held or how long wo will be imprisoned; but all eiuiclu.le that we will not be released until peace is declared, raid perhaps not then.

I have not the slightest hope at present of ever seeing you again. My oon iinen.ent and the suffering occasioned by a continual re eiirreuee lo the hopelessness of my condition, together with the wretched diet sel hefore me, must speedily terminate life which in the course of nature would soon have ceased under better circumstances. I trust, iny ovar, mho, aiiccuoiiaie wiie, you win not tiecome discouraged, but trust to your boys, who are affectionate, and who will, 1 feci assured, pruie a blessing to you and your dear little ones.

May God bless their endeavors, and make them ornaments to society. Oh how long to see you all. 1 dream of you sometimes; and always feel relieved when I can commune with you even in my restless slumbers.

It ill be useless to answer this, as the letter would be examined and not sent lo me, and you cannot possibly send one privately.

E. K. Howard, son of the prisoner above referred to, publishes a card in the New York Xetcs, in relation to 'be treatment his father ha? been subjected to. The following is the substance of the communication The Grand Jury of the United States Court, whose members bad been selected by a Marshal of Mr. Lincoln's own appointment, was in session at and some weeks subsequent to the time.

The Commissioners awaited its action, but only to iearn that the Grand Jury had adjourned without being able to find any pretext upon which to indict them. Congress was sitting in Washington, and itey sent it a memorial, setting forth in respectful language the outrage perpetrated on them, and asking an investigation; but Congress treated the application with contempt. The Government grew eary apparently of these persistent and open demands for iustir and on the 20th of July it ordered all those against whom it could not procure Indictments to be transferred to Fort Lafayette. There they are now lying unconvicted anil unaccused. It has been their misfortune to differ with Mr.

Lincoln in regard lo the policy which he is pursuing, and this constitutes their crime. They, together with a'large portion of the people of this section of the nation, constitute the minority which is opposing, in all lawful ways, the prtsecutiou of a war winch ihey believe to be necessarily distinctive of our institutions and ruinous to the country, and for this offense they are punished. Any assertion that tbi have committed or connived at any act which, by any construction of the laws, could be regarded as illegal, and still leas as treasonable, is utterly and palpably false. Since they have been confined in Fort La Favette, they have been denied privileges which aro usunlly'checrfully accorded to the most abandoned felons in tno Tombs. I have in vain solicited from the War Department and from General Scott permission to visit my father, lie aud ihe six of les unlortunate companions are compelled to live together in one small, damp casemate.

They are not allowed io correspond with their wives and children, unless the commanding officer at Fort Hamilton inspects and approves the letters oi both parties; nor are they even suffered to receive the daily papers. Deprived of the society ol their friends, and cut off from all familiar intercourse witli their families, and from such communication with the outer world as a newspaper would afford them, they languish in a government fortress in this harbor, iu a situation precisely similar lo that of the hapless captives of some oriental despot. Such are the main fads of the case, which I deem it my duty to lay before the people of the city. If they believe that the Constitution and luws have sufficiently provided for the punishment of those wtio violate them, and that it can never be necessary or justillublo to set up a military dictatorship to uphold me one or enforce the other if they hold that under any system ol'govern nitnt, or under any circumstances whatever, it is an atrocious thing to oppress men for their opinions, or punish citizens because they are suspected, then they will I trust accord to the prisoners in Fort LuFayctte their cordial sympathy, nnd such aid as it may yet be in their power to render them. Fortius these sufferers think they have a right to look.

Kcdress they cannot obtain, hey can only continue to assert their rights, and to denounce the which have been done them. Having ventured ihus inadequately to do this in their behalf, have the issue with iheir countrymcD. ork, August 14th, 1SC1.

jylvlW. uceu tucjieo, nna an my property ihrown into street. Proceeding directly forward, on coming out of Central street, I first saw the work of dc snueiion, and ilitre, too, I saw the first mob that had ever met my eyes. West Market Square and surroundings were filled with nearly two thousand people. Iu the middle of the Square was a 'arge fire, on which the multitude wire engaged in heaping my tables, 6lands, cases and other mi tf iial.

The Wheelwn'ght and Clark blacks were surrounded with the wreck of what had, an hour before, constituted one of the largest and finest piintiug offices in the State. I made my way through the crowd to the stairway, which I found filled with the mob. They malic no resistance to mv ascending the lonv stairway. I found my office door besieged by a large number of persons armed with crow bars and like implements. As I approached the door they fell back.

Whilst feeling for my key, one one of their leaders, arnm who his been honored with a position on our city police, demanded that I should insiantlv open the door. I then turned lound and faced the mob, telling them that that office was rightfully under my but that if they saw fit. to rtsort to violence, the.v could probably overpower me. I was unarmed. Before opening ihe door I told them my object wis to secuie my account boohs, nolcs bills, and private papers, and that I shoula give them the feeble protection in my power.

I then opened the dooi and set about my business, the mob following me in, and seizing inuiscriminately whatever th ctuld lay their hat on, and thro wing it out ot the windows into ihe street. The work of destruction was soon complete. I ilieu left the. ffice, the mob following me down stair3. Ai I reached the sidewalk, there arose the infuriated cry of the mob, "Hang him! Ttr and leather him Kill him It was then feit, for the first time, how little there is in the terrors and threats of a mob for him who is conscious of having discharged his duty to the public and himself.

The mad crowd wtre thirsty lor the blood of one who had been lor.g and incessantly toiling to sa7e them from the fetters that are being forged for their free limbs. His works may yet bear their fruits A 1 mode my way through the dense crowd, fjierd after fiiend gathered arcund me fjr my protection. Their words of sympathy sink deep into my eouI, whilst the demoniuc cries for my blood tell unheeded on my ears. But one circumstance disturbed my equanimity, and that was like the sting of an adder. When I was be yord danger and among friends, the Mayor, who, i egardle 68 of his oath of office, would give me tm protection for my property, who made no attempt to disperse the mob, who did not even order ihe reading of the riot act, who did not even lilt a finger to preserve the peace of the city, although days and hourB before warned of the threatened attack when I was beyond danger, he suddenly conceived an anxietv for my personal safety, and suggested that I had better hurry away.

Thus hath the freedom of thepre6s been stricken down here in Maine, not from any patriotic impulse, but through the wicked instigation of a band of politicians who would willingly subvert all law aud all order for the maintenance of a meie party dogma. Though anarcby seems to be coming down upon our unhappy country like night, yet do I not despair. I still believe that there is yet virtue and intelligence enough in the people to maintain their liberties and protect a free press, which is their best guardian. By this act of mob violence my all, the result of i'onr years of unremitting toil, has been swept away but I still have health, strength and youth, and a heart also to struggle on in defense of the people's rightB. MOKE FREE SPEECH.

From the Albany Times Courier, Rep. We were yesterday informed that on Saturday evening last, a former well known Albanian was most roughly treated at Nassau, Kennselaer Co The party was John Marshall, for several years a principal clerk in the Albany City Bank, but of late years confidential clerk in the house of Duncan, Shermau and of New York. The report is, that visiting his parets at Nassau, as is his usual annual custom, he expressed himself freely as to the causes of the present war, and volun taering his opinions as to the means that might have heen ueed to avert the present unpleasant state of affairs, when he was roughly seized by a lawless crowd and treated in the most shameful, not to say barbarous manner. Our information is to the efiect that, to escape the rudeness of the crowd, he fled to the North River, crossed to this side, and availed himself of the first means ot transportation to New York The chief or principal charge against Marshall is his utterance of the belief that the existing state of affairs might have been avoided id wiser councils prevailed and a more concessive spirit actuated the directing powers inaugurating the present war. Personal humiliation and physical abuse for opinion's sake has ever been reproved since the abolition of the blue laws of Connecticut, and it is none the better at this time.

Brooklyn City Railroad Company. To the Editor of tlie Brooklyn Eagle The Brooklyn City Railroad Company is entitled to the pity and commisseration of every true philanthropist. Notwithstanding the many privileges enjoyed by this monopoly, yet nevertheless, they are so poor, as to be unable to keep their cars in good condition. It has been said that poverty is no crime, but very inconvenient. The poverty of the Railroad Company ia very inconvenient to the traveling public, whose masters, not servants they are.

Being an unfortunate one, whoEe team never comes home, I am obliged to patronize the cars three or four times a day. Recently, on my way to Greenwood, the windows were 6hoved up, to allow an exodus of cool odor Hardly had I fixed myself comfortably in a corner, beforo down it came, grazing my arm, as good fortune would have it, doing no damage. The utmost exertions on my part failed to fa3ten it securely. The same mishap occurred a few evenings after on one of the Greenwood cars. The public would do well to examine the car windo ws before allowing their children to rest their arms on the sills.

These cars mentioned were Nos. 213 and ISO. Innocent gullible people supposed that when the City Company received their charter that they were to study the welfare of the public in this they were egrcgiously mistaken. For tho purpose of saving a conductor and inconveniencing passengers, traveling smoke houses are run on tlie Bay Ridge route, as also on Sand street. If any desires to die of suffocation it would be well for him to take a ride to Fort Hamilton.

He will flttla smull, cramped band box, alive with humanity, inside, outside, on top, and hanging over. If he goes by the way of Court street he will be obliged to wait twenty five or thirty minutes for the privilege of suffocation. These are some of the many grievances which the public are obliged to endure at the hands of the Railroad managers. Public convenience does not require suffocation and, we think it would be well for the sanitary committee to make an investigation and ascertain if it is conducive to health. We would not, however, have them do anything to make the Company realize their poverty.

As it is beyond the power of citizens to correct abuses in our Railroad and Ferry matters tho writer would suggest, that the entire management of city affairs be placed in the hands of the Directors of the two monopolies. 132 Union street, TtnooKLYN, I August 15, To ihe Editor cf the Brooklyn EaqU. Observing in your issue of the 10th August a paragraph which, without an explanation, would go toprejudicemy interests and defame my character, I beg to inform you that, in the case of Hampson, complainant, vs. Saun ders, being brought before Mr. Justice Boeruin this day, the complaint was dismissed, there being no cause save malice, nnd 1 was, therefore, honorably discharged.

The circumstances of the case are as follows On the call being made fur further regiments by the United Slates Government, I proposed to Uumps 'n to co operate with me in raising a regiment called "The British nnd I then offered to give Hampson the majority of Hie regiment. Accordingly 1 proceeded lo "Washington on or about the 21st July, and on my statements made to the Secretary of War, I obtained the acceptance of said regiment, anil at the same time oro euri a letter to the Governor of Ihe State or New York the Secretary of War (and which letter is now in said Governor's possession), informing Governor Morgan that 1 would report to Mm the efficiency of the ofticers, prior to his issuing commissions to the same. On my return to Ke York, I offered lo provide the funds for the organization of the regiment, and accordingly proceeded lo do so, by obtainiug subscriptions from bankers and merchants in the city of New York, and such sums of money as were contributed, were contributed solely on my name and good faith, and I provided every cent of money for the organization of the regiment. But having been informed that there was to be a parti eipation by the officers in the prod's of certain bills contracted by the regiment, I refused to pay a bill of $372 for the alleged maintenanceof recruits in the Park Barrack6 unless examined into the same. This, I sup.

pose, coupled with the fact that I refused to loan one of the hoi (JizswiU officers a sum of 10t out of the regimental funds, lias caused Ibis conspiracy to hurrays and annoy nie, wliilel have been actively engaged in recruiting men for ibis regiment in thecityof New York, Piermont, Ny.ick, and elsewhere. That as evidence that the sums ol money wcie contributed on my good faith, and were at my discreiion, my solicitor, Mr. A. A. White, of 37 Wall street, produced several letters in court, tilts day, from bankers and merchants, one being from the eminent firm of Bcnkhurd Button, a copy of which is as follows Dt'AKE Kkw Youk, I 1351.

S. M. Sai Esq. Sir, In reply to your inquiry respecting my subscription to the "British Volunteers," I have no hesitation to declare that I made it in answer to your own application and upon the evidence of a letter snbiiiiited by you to the War department, that the ltegiment had been accepted. Itespeclfully yours, II.

Hutton. I now leave this nefarious proceeding in the hands of my solicitor, who will deal with Hampson as the law allows. I have the honor to be, Sir, Y'ours resp'y, S. M. Sauxoeks.

Sin. Sewakd on the Whit or Habeas Corpds. On the 7th of Mr. Seward delivered a speech in the U. S.

Senate, in which he denounced certain enactments of the Kansas territorial legislature which denied the writ of habeas corpus to slaves. At the present time a quotition frc his remarks may not be out of place Bthold, Senators, another of these statutes. In the chapter which treats of the writ of habeas corpuB we have this limitation No negro or mulatto held as a slave within this Territory, or lawfully arrested as a fugitive from Bervieo from another Slate or Territory, shall be discharged, nor shall his itir.iiT of l'KEEDOM be had, under the provisions of this net." This is an edict which suspends the writ of habeas corpus. It relates indeed to a degraded class of society, but still the writ which is taken away from that class is the writ of habeas corpus, and those who are to be deprived of it by the edict may be freemen. The Slate that bciins with deTywg the habeas corpus to the huniblcst and most obscure of freemen, will not It long in reaching a more indiscriminate proscription.

It ought to be sufficient, objection here, against all these statutes, that they conflict with the Constitution of the United States, the highest law re cognised in this place. I myself denounce them for that reason, as I denousce them also because they are repugnant to the laws of nature, a3 recognised by nearly all civilised States. Tiie Shadow on. iie Wall. The Oonrrier des Utats I'nis has the following in regard to the "Socialistic" meetings of certain so called unemployed workmen in New York city and elsewhere: "There are demonstrations multiplying in certain quarters of the city, of a character to merit attention.

We allude to the agitation which is going on among the working classes, in order to carry out what they call 'tiglit of Already resolutions of a very extraordinary nature have been formed at popular reunions, composed principally of Germans, not in New York alone, but also in Philadelphia and Newark, and at other places. The movement is the more important, as it will be stimulated by the sufferings of the poor upon the approach of winter. 'In the mewtime, we do not see that notice is taken of the formidable proportions which this movement may assume or of the principles upon which it is based. Has it beeu taken into consideration, that we may expect, for months to come, bands of unemployed workingmen infesting the streets, with demands for bread, to be responded to, perhaps, by the bullet? The Republican press, which has entertained so many high and philanthropic doctrines, may Boon have their hands full in seeking a solution of this formidable problem, which is about to be submitted t) them from these Damage to the Oat Crop. Within a few days past, the oat fields in this vieinity have been visited by an insect heretofore unknown to our farmers.

They cluster like bees on the stem that joins the grain and head of the stalk, and on the base of the grain. They are about the size of cattle lice, of a deep red color, and the number on each graiu i6 estimated at twenty Cve to one hundred. They seem to feed on the sap which flows into the by that means the stem becomes brittle and is easily broken off Probably in the procesB of harvesting, much, if not all the crop thus visited, will be shaken irom the stalk and lost. We understand that the oat crop, throughout the country, generally, has been more or less damaged by these unwelcome visitors. A correspondent of the Albany Atlas, writing from BallBton Centre, says of this inBect They seem to come from eggs, which, if you notice very carefully, can bo seen covered with a line web, which Is attached to the chaff or shuck of the oat.

When first hatched they are white and almost transparent. I noticed some of the largett ones were of a blackish or brown hue. It is only within a few days that I have observed them at work in our fields. Already they have made terrible havoc. In some of our fields they have destroyed one third ol the oats.

I hear that one ol my neighbors had a line lot of wheat destroyed by them. Apparently our crops are de stroved in this section of the country. Delaware Gazelle (Delhi, N. Ulli..
