Rear Admiral Stribling has communicated to the Navy Department the particulars of the destruction of a valu. able rebel fishery on Marsh Island, north of the Okaloma viver, Florida, by an expedition from the steamer Stars and Stripes on October 19. The fishery, which was a large and valuable one to the rebels, was entirely destroyed and sixteen prisoners captured, without any logs on our side. The following captures are reported to the Depart. ment-— The English schooner Lucy, with an assorted cargo, by the United States schooner Sea Bird. The crew all es- caped to the shore in a small boat, with the exception of one man, who was too drunk to move or say anything. ‘She was from Babia, and cleared for Matamoros, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Schmidt, commanding United States steamer Nita, reports the capture of an un- known schooner on the 24th of October, The crew also escaped to the shore in a small boat.

[From the ) Chicago ‘Tribune. ‘While throughout all the country besides, the sublime tide of patriotic enthusiasm and jove for Union has swept before it the machinations of treason, iike chaff dolore the wind, tho great State of New York has run #0 clono as to have been for several days in doubt, With out apy disparagement, but, on the contrary, giving. all due credit to those of the friends of the Uaion in New York who are staunch and firm, we propose to state some of the reasons for thie gad tact, and as well those wich ‘are not due to the professedly Union mea of New York:— 1 The Union dilleantism, du _— in New York te weakened by the plicily and cowardice of the Weed faction of the Union party. Thurlow Weed bas loug cast the stigma of petty cunning, so nearly akin to dishonesty, upon the leadership of the party, aod Horace Greeley bas not gree atly megaed ied the matter py carrying on an tites- tine wi which, {0 the opision of niaoy, originated in bis fellure to obtain personal rewards at the hands of bis party. The qoarel between the Weed and Greeley factions is partly perronal and partly ene of prin. ciple, the Weed iniucnce boing often worse than copper- headiem. If the Uaion party bad tailed in New York, therefore, their failure would not have been altogether ucdeserved. Possibly two years moro of Horatio Sey- mour’s sway would iinprove the character of their Unieniem. The above sources of division have weakened tho tone of the New York prese, and impaired their vigor through- Out the canvass. Mr Greeley’s idiosyncracies on the peace question, both in 1861 and during the past eummer. have done us'no good, while the mischievous trash which bas appeared over the signature of “T, W."’ bas Deen exccedingly nutritious and paiatable to copperheads. Tr the Union party would succeed, it must merge the in- terests, piquos and oe of *T. W. and “HH. G." It mut coaee to nomin: loyal copperheads” in coubt/ul districts, and ceuse to repudiate radical principl’s to carry loccl ends, but most put on the whole armor of ri pudlicaniem, everywhere, withont the trimming of Ray. mood, the backsiiding of Greeley, or the infuelity of Weed, While these causes of disaension have operated within the Union ranks, the copperiesds have two great foun- tains of power tp New York—the Central Kaiiroad and the emigrant depot at New York city. The Greviey wing oi the Union party made a gallant tight lust winter to r deem the New York Central irom tue accursed and tr arcality of Dean Richmond, Poter Cogger, Sey- mour and Corning, but the subvrnation of the Weed fac. tion and papers provenied the triuimpn. = What the Unioniets of New York have failol #9 do we wow cail up those of the West todd. ‘There are various lines: of iravel and trensportation from the West to New York, 80 nearly even iu their adrautages thai ‘ho Western merchant can love a cent of roi, Sr an hour of time by perferring orberg to the New York Central, let Wettern ustrenants take action, therefore, Ymmediately, and abate this nuisance, ‘They can by uted co-operation do more to change the manngement, of the New York Ceotrat from traitorous to loyal hauds than any influence at the otber end of the road. {erthe boards of trate of Chicago and other Pabetdtic Western cities, and the merchants and farme ot the entire West, comvine withhold the entire Vhrough freight and travei of tne New York Centra! route, and to travel and transport over other lines exciusively, until the management of the Central Railroad shall be changed.

After receiving City Inspect: Department, CLEANING YHR SLKBETS—HOW THE WORK IS DONE AND WHar IT costa. Very few of our citizens are aware of tne magnitude of the work to ‘be performed in cleaning the streets of New York city. A brief statement of the facts and figures will show that it is what Preeident Lincoln would call “a big job” to undertake. That it costs a great deat as undeniable; but it would cost lees if the Vity Inspec- tor could tix the rates of wages, instead of tae Lommon Council, and if the samo official were empowered by the Legisiature to make arresis among those classes of people who, in spite of every notice and precaution, will persist in throwing their ashes and garbage into the streets instead of providing ashboxes aud barreis, There are two hundred and sixty-eight miles of payed streets in this city, averaging thirty-turce feet in width. This givea an area of one thousand ove hundred and thirty-pine acres to be cleaned. The City Inepector has the whole area swept once every fortnight; about one balf is swept twice every fortmight; about one quarter is swept three times: three bundred and forty-five acres are cleaned six times, and seventy-tive acres twelve tines, in the same space of time. This is equivalent to cleaning three thousand five bundred and fifty-three acres once in two weeks, In addition to thts work, the ash carts traverse every mile of the streets on each undays excepted, This is equivalent hundred and thirty-six miles aday, und couveys some idea of the extent of this magnificent metropolis, ‘The returns of the Bureau of Sanitary nepection of the City Inspector’s Department show that forty thousand three hundred and six loads of strect dirt, ashes, gare bage and rubbish bave been removed from this clty in two weeks, At this rate one million forty-seven thou- ‘sand olne hundred and fifty-six loads would be removed inayear, The loads average fourteen cubic feet, aud this gives an amonnt equal to fourteen million six hun- dred and seventy-one thousand three hundred and eighty- four cubic feet. This would form a solid cube of dirt two hundred and forty-threo (ect tn extent, of much bigher than the spire of trinity church, with the samo dimen- sions cach way. For convenience of refereoce let us Place theee figuras in tabular form. CLEANING NEW YOR CITY, Miles of paved streets... Average width of streets in feet. Acres of area.. Average acres swept every forkn Miles of ash-cart routes z Loads removed in two weeks... 40,806 Loads removed in one vear... 1,047,956 Average cubic feet to a load Cubic feet of dirt removed per anpu:n 14, Lor1,38 The average price paid per load for carting away this immense mass is about thirty-eight cents. This makes « total expense of $398,223 98 per annum, It will be re- membered that the Legislature appropriated only $300,000 per anpum for the whole cost of cleaning our streets. Our figures show that this sum i3. not suifeient to detray the expenses of carting alone, and if the City Ingpector was obliged to contine himself to that appro: printion the city could not be cleaced. The strest sweep- are pild about two dolivrs per day. Tbe Common Conueil fixes thelr compensation. They sre artists in their profession, and will not work for lesa. it aa res markable that thoso who grumble at paying the #8 eep- ers 80 much couid not be induced ta do the sweepers’ work for double the pay. We commend the above sta- tistics to our citizens and taxpayers generally, and parti- culurly to bis Honor the Mayor. » Brookiyna City New: ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, the residence of Mr, Charles Perry, No. 8¥ Tillary street, was feio- Biously entered by breaking open cne'of the front win- dows, The thief succeeded in reaching one of the upper reoms unobserved: but the noise be made attracted the attention of one of the occupante, named lennison, who went to inquire into the cause, and discovered a man tn the act of examining the drawers. The fellow ran down jnto the parior, and, being pursued by Mr. Dennison, turned and struck hima violent blow on the forehead.
