The Daily Dispatch: December 10, 1860., [Electronic resource], Highly important opinion. (search)
eard upon that subject was from the lips of a native of New York in the midst of a Western crowd of "Sons of the Pilgrims," who, if they "came to scoff, remained to pray, " and were, at least for the time, convinced, and converted from the error of their ways. Physically, intellectually, and morally, New York is as powerful in the North as she is patriotic and conservative. The bone and muscle, the brains, the public spirit, the capital and enterprise of the State, are concentrated on Manhattan Island, which is the head of this New York comet, the rest of the State being merely a gaseous, luminous tail, which is only formidable in its fiery aspect and huge proportions. Separate the Empire City, as it ought to be separated from the interior of New York, and the rest of the State would vanish into hopeless obscurity. We trust that the day may never come when the city of New York will succumb to the Puritanic influences which have abolitionized so large a portion of the country. As l

ans of communication with the city. At Fort Lafayette, not with standing the rigid rules that have been established respecting the prisoners there, there has been, until within the day or two past, pretty free communication between some of the prisoners and their friends in the city — in the presence of the officers of the guard, it is true; but this thing is come to be an annoyance, which will scarcely be of so frequent recurrence at Fort Schuyler, which is many miles remoter from Manhattan Island than Fort Lafayette.--Clergymen visited the latter place on Sunday, and, by special permission of the military authorities, Divine service was celebrated. Important intelligence from New York. The following is from the Baltimore Exchange: New York, August 23d, 1861.--A deep gloom hangs over the business men of this city relative to national affairs. The late reverses have maddened them, and they are now preparing to do something desperate with a view of restoring in som

You will agree with me that even this, impartially done to all classes, is more tolerable than any scheme which shall fraudulently force a portion of the community into the military service by a dishonest perversion of the law. You will see by the report of Mr. Waterbury that there is no theory which can explain or justify the enrollment in this State. I wish to call your attention to the tables on pages 5, 6, 7, and 8, which show that in nine Congressional districts, in Manhattan, Long, and Staten Islands the number of conscripts called for is 33,729, while in nineteen other districts the number of conscripts called for is only 39,626. This draft is to be made from the first class, viz: those between the ages of 20 and 35. It appears, by the census of 1860, that in the first nine Congressional districts there were 164,797 males between 20 and 35, and they are called upon to supply 33,729 conscripts. In the other 19 districts, with a population of males betwe

The city and county tax for the current year, it is officially announced, will be $13,000,000. Taxpayers, it is pleasant to know, will be called upon to contribute 2 per cent on the valuation of their property, for the support of the local government; in other words, about thirteen dollars a head for every man, woman and child on Manhattan Island. Ada Clark, sometimes called the "Queen of Bohemia, sails for California in the steamer of Wednesday next." She goes thither for the benefit of her health. Death of a Yankee Brigadier. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 1st, says: Brigadier General Stephen G. Champlin, died at his residence in the town of Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Tuesday last. He was born and educated in the State of New York, but commenced the practice of law about ten years ago, in Grand Rapids.
