of obtaining a new trial. He has long been a pest and a terror to the peaceable, honest portion of the city in which he has lived, but he will find fighting the South a different affair from that of a ward fight in New York. E. Z. C. Judson, better known by his nom de plume of "Ned Buntline," has received an appointment as Colonel in the army of subjugation. This blast upon humanity — this defamer of woman's virtue, but now valiant son of wars, was once publicly horse-whipped in Broadway, New York, by a prostitute. The poor, miserable, craven-hearted wretch begged and cried for mercy like a child. He was finally prevented from receiving his just deserts, by the interposition of some gentleman who saw the castigation administered. He, for a long time, published a paper entitled "Ned Buntline's Own," which paper was filled with the most foul slanders on the virtue of woman, and the most bitter attacks on the religious prejudices of a portion of our people. Such are some of

he walked to the door with her husband after dinner. "Are you anxious to have me admire your new silk dress?" he replied, with a faint effort to smile. "Yes; it will be something splendid," she answered. He turned off from her quickly, and left the house. A few moments she stood, with a thoughtful face, her mind indrawn, and her Whole manner completely changed. She went to her room and commenced dressing to go out. Two hours later and we find her in a jewelry store on Broadway. "Can I say a word to you?" She addressed the owner of the store, who knew her very well. "Certainly," he replied, and they moved to the lower end of one of the long show cases. Mrs. Whitman drew from her pocket a lady's watch and chain, and laying them on the show case, said, at the same time holding out the bill she had taken from the envelope addressed to her husband. "I cannot afford to wear this watch; my husband's circumstances are too limited. I tell you so frank

ng at the Seventh, and calling out in vile language to some of the soldiers who passed nearest to their quarters. This, and the case of one or two rowdies who hissed the regiment in Fulton street, are about all the opposition the Seventh met in Broadway. After halting in front of the Astor House, as stated, the escort again advanced up Broadway — a number of boys dressed in Zouave costume, accompanying the Seventh Reserve Corps, and looking very gay. The ladies seemed to be particularly plBroadway — a number of boys dressed in Zouave costume, accompanying the Seventh Reserve Corps, and looking very gay. The ladies seemed to be particularly pleased with the "young ideas learning how to shoot." The Sickles Battalion showed a firm and manly front. The men are of the right sort — upright, thick set fellows, strong in limb and steady on their pins, and looking like true fighters as much as any volunteers we have seen. The officers were all in uniform, but without swords, Brigadier Sickles marching at their head, and prominent among the others was Colonel Hall, of the Jackson Regiment, who is one of the best officers of the brigade.

ich some evil agency, armed with an hour's control, now exercises over them. We will not ask our readers to visit, with us, the homes of usual poverty and toil, but simply direct their steps, even on the balmiest of these spring days, along Broadway alone. It is not an unpleasant walk, in many respects, and may prove, in some new sense, a most instructive one. Starting from the Astor House, let your eye range from each side of the street, as you pass up towards Union Square, and, befo told, in a whisper, that business is dead, and the place will soon close. If, then, at this season, and with such prospects and accumulations of money as we had last year, nearly one-third of the business sites along the gayest portions of Broadway be already hanging out the signal of distress, what may we expect when the progress of slaughter shall bring increased levies of men and money and scatter terror and mourning in every household? May not the effigy in the Park yet dangle the

The New York Commercial, of Friday, a paper very generally careful in its statements, says: The leading dealers in firearms and munitions of war in this city are said to be still quite busy filling orders for the South. The demand for small arms has ceased, and muskets, rifles and ordnance are now most in request. One house in Broadway is engaged in filling heavy orders from State authorities, "with immediate dispatch." One of these orders is for 500,000 ball cartridges for muskets, and 100,000 artillery cartridges. One hundred gun- carriages will be shipped by the same firm next week. Another well-known house received an order to-day from the Governor of one of the Southern States for one hundred and eighty Minnie rifles, while another sends on for a much larger supply of Enfield rifles. Navy revolvers are also in dem

Six wagon-loads of gold. --The gold which came to New York, by the Persia, from Liverpool, during the time of the panic, a week or two ago, upwards of $3,100,000, weighed 11,700 pounds, and loaded six express wagons. It was quite a consolatory sight to the cramped merchants, in the height of the hard times, to see six horses, each pulling a wagon-load of gold along Broadway.

o'clock. The following account of the arrival is given by telegraph, together with a highly-colored statement of the valiant Doubleday, one of Anderson's officers: She had as she came up the flags of Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie flying. Maj. Anderson, on landing on the Battery, was received by an immense crowd, and his carriage was surrounded by the people, who expressed in cheers and other demonstrations their admiration of his conduct. He was followed by an immense throng through Broadway to the Brevoort House, where he joined his wife. Capt. Doubleday says that the demand to surrender Fort Sumter was made on the 11th, but was refused not only by Major Anderson, but by the unanimous voice of the command. On Friday morning, at 3 o'clock, the rebels sent word that the fire would be opened in an hour. At 4 o'clock the fire opened on us from every direction, including a hidden battery. The fire opened with a volley from seventeen mortars firing ten inch shells, and

Outrageous proceedings of the Federalists in Baltimore — arrest of the Board of Police. Baltimore, July 1. --Since 2 o'clock this morning, startling proceedings have occurred. Detachments of artillery and infantry have been posted on Monument Square and the Exchange Place, and in the Eighth Ward on Broadway, and at other points. Before day-light, all the members of the Board of Police, except the Mayor, were arrested. It is said that these proceedings were instituted by Gen. Banks, in consequence, as he regarded, of the discovery of a plot against Federal supremacy in Baltimore.

sandbags or the men around and near them. He doubtless then bethought him that, as he had succeeded so well in opening ladies' letters, he would be as triumphant in frightening or injuring our women and children. May his name be infamous for the dastardly deed ! Several large shells exploded high in the air, the pieces flying in all directions, far and near. One piece traversed the roof of Mr. Tankersley's house, one square in the rear of Mr. Brown's and Gen. Nichols' residence, on Broadway. It went through the pantry, next to the kitchen, and through the outer plank wall into the yard. We heard of a piece falling at south side of the Public Square, penetrating the roof and floor of Mr. J. Dykeman's portice; an entire bomb at Mr. Close's foundry, a piece going to the 1st Ward Market, and one shell burying itself near Smyth's Garden; but none, fortunately, hitting any one, though some narrow escapes were had. We were shown a 32-pound ball that was said to have been picke

No one questions the general bravery of Americans, native or adopted, on either side; but a defeat is rendered worse than ridiculous by attempts to turn it into a triumph.
