to work more earnestly than ever for the cause in future.
They seemed by no means dispirited at the result, although they owned up to a defeat with a good grace — The large transparency in front of the building, containing the names of the State officers, was lighted up as usual much to the surprise of passers by, who stopped and questioned each other as to the cause of the illumination, and wondered if any later and more favorable news had been received to justify it. At various points on Broadway the large banner that have for some time past attracted attention, were still hung across the street probably to inform the citizens as to the correct spelling of the names of the defeated.
A Strong letter in Opposition to Tyranny.
We find in the New York World a letter from Charles O'Connor, the distinguished orator and intrepid politician, which was written in favor of the election of James Brocks, of the Express, to Congress.
Mr. O'Connor says:

We destroyed by fire nearly two whole squares of buildings, chiefly used for business purposes, together with the fine residences of O McDowell, Dr. Smith, J. H. Kelly, A. S. Catt, William Slaughter, and many other smaller dwellings.
Every store, I think, without any exception, was pillaged of every valuable article. A fine store, which would not have looked badly on Broadway, was literally one mass of broken glass and jars.
Disgusted and Indignant.
The Cincinnati Enquirer expresses itself in the very plain words which follow:
Shall we continue travelling on in the policy which the Abolition leaders have marked out? --Shall we any longer continue to be deluded by their hopes and predictions?
Is it not high time, then, for the people to arouse and reflect upon the programme that is now before us?
We have been going it blind long enough.

Rosecrans has ordered that all persons whose natural supporters are in the rebel service, and whose sympathies and connections prevent assurance of their loyalty, will hold themselves in readiness to go South of his lines within ten days.
Hon. Mr. Voorhee, of Indians, made a speech Tuesday evening before the Union Democratic Association in Broadway.
Mr. V. commenced by saying that the people had waked up to the fact declared in the first line of the Constitution, that "we the people make this Government." He owed no allegiance to any Government but the people and the Constitution.
He held it as his right to condemn anything wrong that Lincoln or his Cabinet did. He said the Black Republican party was covered all over with the leprosy of crime and wrong.
He concluded by urging "when the Government went outside of the limits of law,

Recent events raising some doubts, in many minds, on that point, after all it may be the advance of the enemy to Chambersburg even may prove an advantage to us, if it has served to remove those doubts.
The Seventh Regiment left for Harrisburg this morning, and will probably reach their destination before this is in type.
On passing down Broadway they were loudly cheered.
About three hundred of the Twenty first New Jersey Regiment, who came home on furlough from Trenton, on Monday, received orders this afternoon to at headquarters.
They left for their destination at 3 o'clock.
The Brooklyn regiments are rapidly recruiting.
One of them is nearly full, and expects to leave to-morrow.

Balls, weddings and parties are gotten up regardless of expense, and in their splendid appointments surpass those of the most prosperous times of peace.
Newport and Saratoga, thus early, are beginning to fill, and the season at the watering places promises to exceed all previous ones in extravagance, in gaiety and display.
A gentleman lately at the North, while in New York went into one of the largest jewelry stores on Broadway.
That well-known house had added to its usual business an extensive military goods store, furnishing everything from swords to shoulder straps. "I suppose," said the gentleman, "that in these depressing times your military business has in some degree lessened your losses by the nonsale of articles in your jewelry store." "On the contrary," was the reply, "our sales of military goods, large as they are, are actually nothing in comparison with our regular business, particularly in plate and

Let it be no political gathering — no partisan demonstration, but a spontaneous congregation of the working classes, to give vent, within legal bounds, but firmly, to the sentiments of their fraternity with regard to this odious war. The conscription brings it home to their own thresholds as much as if Gen. Lee's worse men were rattling down Broadway. If they would avoid conscription, let them speak in opposition to that which has given birth to conscription.
Let them protest against the continuance of the war. Let them swell the cry for peace that is already ascending from all parts of the North. Let them make it a necessity with the Administration to give up its insane emancipation scheme.
Let them insist that in place of the conscription of white men to serve the blacks we shall have negotiation, compromise, and peace.

The Tribune, of Monday, says:
During yesterday and the day previous, New
York was unusually quiet, the only movements calculated to attract the attention of the passer-by being the disposition of the thousands of soldiers who arrived in the city on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Squads and companies of infantry, cavalry, and artillery filed quietly through Broadway and other streets, without even their usual attendants, the drum and fife — their steady tramp and determined look impressing the spectator that they had no holiday work before them.
Upon reporting at headquarters, they were assigned to their several positions, and marched to the places designated.
The downcast and anxious looks which marked the countenances of men and women generally during the almost supreme reign of mob law on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, gave way to expres

The crowd in our city is beyond all precedent.
The fifteen thousand State volunteers are rendezvousing here.
Thousands of other soldiers are generally here in transits.
In addition, the hospitals are all overflowing with the sick of the army, and private houses and hotels are filled with strangers and refugees.
Our Whitehall street is as thronged with passengers as the business part of Broadway.
The vast army of consumers gobble up everything in the way of edibles.
Beef has gone to $1.50 per pound; chickens, $3.50 to $3 a piece when you can find them; bacon, $2.25 a pound; butter, $2 a pound, and mean at that.
The Atlanta Appeal, of the 15th, says:
The result of Gen. Forrest's movements against the columns of the enemy that were endeavoring to penetrate the country on the line of the State road has been not only to check his advance, but to drive him back to the vici

They are stalling their Russian ally with sugar plumbs.
On Wednesday they took the officers from the Russian frigates in the harbor at New York and carried them to the City Hall, to receive the freedom of the city.
The Times thus describes the scene:
As soon as the guests and committees were transferred to the carriages the procession moved.
The line of march was through 23d street to Fifth avenue, down Fifth avenue to 14th street, through 14th street to Broadway, and down Broadway to City Hall.
Throughout the whole distance the windows of buildings on either side of the street, the porches, balconies, and sidewalks, were thronged by citizens and ladies, anxious by their presence to do honor to the distinguished guests who represent among us the sympathies of a friendly Government in Europe.
Residences and business establishments were decorated with flags and banners, among which there was a frequent display of the Russian cross.
