THE WOUNDED MASSACHUSETSS SOLDIDRS IN NEW YORE. ‘Yesterday the new Inviog House, corner Twelfth etrect acd Broacway, wae the arena of som@ excitement for a time, which waa owing to the circumstance that sixteen members Cf the band, two of whom were wounded in Baltimore, wih two wounded goldiers of the Sixth reg.ment of the Massachusetis Volunteers, had arrived where they locaied until five o'clock in the these, evening On their arriva) the spirited and philanthropic pro prictor of the hotel, Mr. John L.

Ax officer, on being requested by our reporter to have asight of the wounded men, complied, and the privilege WAS &t once granted.

The main body of the regiment ned passed on, andthe whole fighting lay between the two cond a balf companier remaining, namely, the Stone- har company, the National Grays company, and part of the Lowell City Guard. These brave men, amounting in Duwher to about 160, were most unmercifully assailed by thousands of the ravble, who pelted them with Paving stones and other musderous missiles, and for no provocation whatever only that they were procesding to the ecere of action to crush rebellion and support the constitution and laws of the country. of the deadly animus Some conceptica may be formed of Baltimore secessionists when it is stated that the iroplemente of the band were smashed and otherwise left worthless, and the large drum of the regiment is riddled to pieces in both ends, toy with the destrac- tion of th .

MOVEMENTS OF MAJOR ANDERSON. The neighborhood of the Brevoort House was remark- ably quiet yeaterday ; no crowds collected there as on the previous days, and nothing either in or about the house gave token that it is the temporary abode of the hero of Fort Sumter. In the morning, Major Anderson and wife attended Divine service at Trinity church, and during the afternoon the Major was visiting at the houses of some of our citizens, in company with Dr. Crawford, of the United States Army. Lieutenant Snyder left the Brevoort House and pro- ceeded to Weehlagion wap the Seventy-iirst regim :nt. ap old gunner of the United States Army, who was 'n Fort Sumter before it was occupied by Major Ander.on and his troops, and remained there during the sie/e, calied on the Major yesterday, The old man is greatly exasperated at the turn allairs took, gnd exclaimed:— “Daron it, we could have held the fort if it had not been for the woodwork catching tire, and if we could have got kome provieions, On Saturday, after his return from the Union meeting, Major Aderson received a large number of his friends at the Brevoort House. The number of visiters is on the increase. Gentlemen and laties come from all we of country merely to see and shake hands with Major nGereon. THE GALLANT SEVENTH. We stated erroneously that Major Ruggles accompa- nied Major Andergon to the meeting at Union square. We deem it due to one of our gallant citizen soldiery to cor- rect this misapprehension, by stating that Major Jamos F. Ruggles, waiving his rank and commission in the eta? of General Hall, preferred to resume his old position as Sergeant in the Seventh regiment, and had marched on the previous day with his regiment w the defence of the capital, 1t was his father, the Hon. Samuel B, Ruggles, one of the Committee of Arrangements, who escorted Major Anderson to the stand. We have also learned with pleasure, that Colonel Schayler Hamilton, who served in the Mexican war with great distinction ag an Aid-de-Camp of General Scott, promptly enlisted in the same iment, and marched to the capital ag a private in the THE VOLUNTEER FUND.

THE FEELING AMONG THE WEST POINT CADETS. The most enthusiastic meetings are being held nightly by the cadets of the Military Academy. Patriotic feel- ing is at fever heat, save among a very small minority from the Southern States, most of whom have tendered their resignations. The Northern cadete are patriotic to the back bone, and their eagerness to take instant part in the coming fray almost ungovernable. The two w classes have petitioned the of War to be instantly on duty. In case the petition is disregarded, numbers have indicated their intention of reeigning their cadetahip and joining the volunteers, NOTE FROM MR. RICHARD LATHERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

He proposed that Kentucky present herself to Congress, on the Fourth of July, through her Senators and representatives, and protest aga'nst the settlement of the present difficulties of the country by the sword. Mean- while that Kentucky cali a Staie Convention to aid her Congresemen in presenting such a protest.
