Where and How the Army Drews Its Source of Life. THE UNITED STATES RECRUITING SYSTEM From the Chrysalis to the Full Blown Sol- Ger—Centres of Supply—Governor’s Idend—Working of the Machinery— Americans Growing Fond of Martial @lory—The Foreigners Falling Away—Desertions from the Army and the Cause. ‘Mere is very little of romance in the life of a sol- ier connvcted with the Unit-d Statesarmy. It is dull and cheerless prospect at the best and can only commend itself as a way of lving to those Poor devils who seek to escape from some necessity ortyranuy that society imposes. There is a pictur- esqueness abont European armies nitogether want. ing in ours, Even that rigid, frigid, tronbound ineil- tution, the Britiah army, has o glamour xbout it for the common soldier which lures away to glory many others besides the ignorant paupers of the lower classes, The tramps from town to town and the changes from one delightiul garri- son town to another or from a temperate to atropical clime, from Canterbury to Calcutta, With all the interesting variety that iles between, have a fascination even for the private soldier. “The Girl I Left Behind Me” is @ soldier's song, and One that thrills every British regiment whenever tt is played as the air that marks the departure of the men from one station to another. But the music, lively and inspiriting as it 13, would tall with very different effect upon the ears of our boys as they take a change of air and residence from Fort Aber- Grombie to Sitka, or vice versa, ‘There are few armies among civilized nations so ‘utterly unattractive in this regard as ours, Even When the United States soldier can avail himself of & peep at the streets and squares of a big city he feels a sense of isolation in the midst of the clviiian Population around him more easily imagined than described, We take no pride in our regular army, Its officers are, of course, welcome wherever they + BO, More especially if they have plenty of money; ‘bat the poor soldier i# @ forlorn dbject on the ‘streets. One heavy spree dissipates his earnings for a month, and a common soldier without money on the streets of New York, even though he wear the ever glorious sky and deep sea blue, has as little chance of being invited to par- take in the hospitality of a neighvoring beer saloon as if he were a Scandinavian emigrant similarly cir- cumstanced, Of course it 1s very diierent with soldiers in France, Prussia and other continental countries, Schneider’s “J’Aue le Mililuire’” cor- rectly interpreted the fecling towards the svidters abroad. We look upon our warriors as 80 much material to be thrown porodiotlly to the devouring behemoth of Indian ferocity, and wien not so employed to garrison some far ox God-forsaken forts where Alexan Selkirk might just as appropriately express himseli monarch of all he surveyed as on the desert island of Juan Feraandez, When the Indians are exterminated Do doubt some patriots member of Congress from the West will move the aboltion of the regular army. Why wo should thus regard our gallant defenders is explainable ox two grounds—Frstly that standing armies can be dispensed with in republics where there are no “Red Clouds’? threaiening the horizon of peace; and, secoudly, that in thes of <5 vt ond begat the Temulace have been wholly eclipsed and lost sight of in the mt glory of the citizen soldiery. pe DEPLETION OF THY ARMY. ‘This erticle presumes to tell the system by which our yy 18 recruited, of what material it is com- posed, from whence It ts veought, to where tt is cou- signed, It may be stated in idvence that small as the standing army is at preseut it never, since the close of the war, stood more li need of recruics.

THR RECRUITING DEPOTS. The four recruiting depots of the United States army are Governor's Isiand, Newport Barracks, Kentacky, Fort Leavenworti and Alcatraz Isiand, San Francisco, ‘The frst nated ts the most impor- tant and the one with which we are more im- mediately concerned.

The subject of sickness among the recruits is a subject of some lmportance, considering that the only epidemic which ever devast.ted the garrison of Governor's Island was brought- over by a recruit, and nelped to make @ Gome.cry Of respectable pro. portions before very iiany weeks, It 48 satisfactory to find that at the preseat moment the cases in the hospital are of a trivial Characier and only twenty-two in all, There are two slight cases of fever, but all the otiers demand no serious atten- tion. CURIOSITIES OF REORUITING. The reporter of the HERALD, in his visit to the island on Saturday, tad the curiosity to look at the ledger, in which all concerning cach recruit is duly inscribed, He discovered that out of tiurty-one re. cruits,” taken at random off the first page upon fell, fiteen were Americans, nine Ger- mans and the balance o: other nationalities, Striking an average, however, among the foreigners, tt will be found that the Germans and Srish are about equal innumber. Lattery (he proportion of native born has been three-fifths. Among occupations and places one was a doctor from Cuva, a gentieman from Germany, a confectioner from Prus- sia, a pedier from ants and a druggist trom New Y¥ Laborers predomi- nated in the vartous ists, but an tneredibly large number of mechanics were entered. rhe average stature of some five hundred, taking page alter page, was five fet cigat inches, which speaks weilfor the physique of our army; average age, twenty-five years; average color of eyes, bine; of hatr, brown; of compiexion, fair, Nowe but those who are twenty-one years of age and over are taken in the army.

In the matter of desertions from the United States Army a tew words here may be well timed and ex- planatory. We have more desertions from the service than any other army tn the world. ‘This fact cannot be disputed. ‘Various causes have been assigned for this state of affairs, but a soldier, Who ought to know, told the writer of thts that the main aversion to the army on the part of the men sprung from the conduct to- ward them of the oiticers, Tho latter are repre- sented as tyrannical, rude, unsympatietic and insuf- ferably snobbish. ‘They attempt to ape the manners of British oMcers and copy in caricature their very worst traits, while at thc same time they forget they are commanding American troops, most of whom are American citizens besides.

Governor's Island is very much changed for the better since it came under the administration of General Neill. Various improvements have been effected on the shore tine and in the taterior which serve a3 an @tiractive and useful embellishment of vhis very deiirvtfulisiand, The hospital is a model of cleanliiess, and may well excuse the pride which 1s feit in tts oo pe by the steward, Mr. Robin- son. The excellent band of the post has had a new house erected over the suore on the Buttermilk channel side, The only thing needed to complete the tinprovements 1s the continuation of the sea wail. ‘The stone ies ready for the purpose on the beach, but government economy forbids the snail appropriation necessary to finish this very necessary wor, Necossary, it may be said, for in the present exposed condition of the shore all soris of putrid offal are drivng in by the tides and create a horrible smeli under the bot sun of this season, AN OLD VATERAN, Among. the characters of the island 13 Sergeant Charles Hancke, seventy-two sears of age, forty-nine years in the service of the United States, and thirt, years a resident of Governor's Isiand, is music instructor, and looks capable of lasting a score of years jonger, which is toierably good testimony to the satubrity of this little gem of the sea.

The Forest City nine are sorely in need of a cap- tain. This fact becomes more aud more apparent every time they playa game. Carlton, the present occupant of that position ia a most excellent player, buthe cannot command a nine, even In second class style. Owing to his lack of decision on Satar- day the Western boys Jost several runs and allowed their opponents to make ns many as they lost. Ney- ertheless the game was a very close aud cer- tainly @ very interesting and exciting one throughout. There was a large concourse of visitors present, many of whom were of the gentler sex. The betting on the part Of the sports was ex- ceedingly lively, and it is probable that more money changed hands on the different innings and the final result of the game than on any previous game piayed thisseason. The odds at tie commencemert were one liundred to thirty in favor of the visiting club, and it certainly looked at one time as though those who had offered this wide margin were going to lose @ big pile, for at the cud of the seventh innings the game was a tie—seven to seven, and tho Star boys looked and acted as though they were going to win; but the fates were against them, and in the next two innings they retired without having scored a run. With few exceptions the playing of every man engaged was good. Allison’s catching in centre field was perfect, while Sutton’s play at third and Kimball's at second was very tine. ‘The former, however, made, during the game, two very poor throws to first base, but with this exception his play was up to its usual excellent standard, he hay. ing taken four very pretty fys and put out, either directly or indirectly, five men. Cariton, however, @ man Who 18 justly gy ees one of the very best first basemen in the gountry, made four frightful muys, aud two of these were the means of losing three runs to his side, On the part of the Stars Hicks, their new catcher, did most admirably, and the amateur gentlemen may consider themselves very fortunate in having secured his services, Rogers, too, in leit fleid did weil, taking one of the most difficult fy bails. Yhe batting was not very heavy, neither side beimg apie to bat the other's pitching to any extent, although the Forest City boys made most first bases on good hits, Neur the close of the gume the excitement grew most Intense, and when in the last half of the ninth inning the Stars went to pat to try and get over tue two rans just made by ineir opponents, the crowd rose from their seats en masse and looked on with the most intense miterest aud enthuslasm, The following is the score:— O.

Two months ago the handsome summer residence of Mr. Alexander Hamilton, at New Brighton, during the temporary avsence of the family, was-entered by expert thieves and “cleaned” of ali tts furniture, carpets, vedelothes and cooking utensils; in fact, Mr. Hamilton and bis good lady, when they returned to their abode, were compelled to restock the dweliing belore they could again run the family in the old style of ther of keeping house, The stolen articles were valued at several thousand «dollars, and naturally the aggrieved josers fell tudguant desired the burgiars’ capture and punishment. To this end the police authorities were notified and they entrusted the matter to the careful nauds of detective James Allen, of Staten Isiaud, who on Saturaay succeeded tn trapping the supposed thieves and recovering the bulk Of Lhe sloien property.

They vehemently asserted their innocence, and told the old story of having bought the furniture aud ear- pets “ofa junk dealer in New York.” 1a : JERSEY CLIY BOARD OF EDUCATION. ‘There is likely to be some trouble in the manage- ment of the Jersey City public schools consequent on the squabble of the Board at the last meeting. Superintendent Chapman, who was elected at- the late charter election, is the first man ever elected to that postiion in City who devoted his time atid attention ex~- clusively to the schools, so that the position Is no longer au honorary one. The position of Assistant Superlatendent is, therefore, a mere sinc cure, yet a majority of the Board not only decided to retain the Assistant Superintendent at a falary of $2,600 a year, but by a very decisive vote declared that he shall not be subject to whatever orders the Superimtendent may see ilt to give. The superinten- dence of schools will cost $5,100, when the dutie are discharged by one oft receiving a little over half that amount. Mr. Miller protested against this waste of the public money, and Mr. Rooacy was in favor of establishing a gh school and placing it in charge of the Assistant ging nee who 1s & very ellicient oMcer, rather than have hun enjoy a sinecure office at the expense of the taxpayers.

Puffing the Bessemer Process for Not Make ing Steel—The Geological Formation of the White Mountains—On Winds and Barometrical Motion— Wrangiing Over “a New System of Musical No- tation”—Ho! for Saratoga! TROY, August 20, 1870, When the Scientific Convention adjourned yeater- day, at one P, M., it was to mect again on board the: steamer 8, O, Pierce, which conveyed the illus trious savans to Albany. Sullivan’s band, which was supposed to possess the precious properties of soothing the perturbed spirits of the pale scholars, produced music for the occasion, An hour on the Hudson and the association had drifted to Albany, where a special car had been patient enough to awalt its coming. Dudley Observatory was the objective. Professor G. W. Hongh not only was considerate enough to display the transit instruments, mural circles, artificial horizuns, sextants, quadrants, chronometers and barometers, but the members were permitted to take and make observations at a Plenteous feast. A visit was now patd to the geological and agricuitural museums, and Pro- fessor Hall, the very good natured and enthusiastic Son of Strata, entered into elaborate explanations of the relics df the inner earth. Not entirely wearléd of ogling, the members proceeded to tho State library, where in those lofty halls the vice president of the Albany Institute spoke m welcome, and Mr. T, Sterry Hunt replied with thanks, making the seventy-second speech of this character by the Canadian orator. Others could not restrain themselves from making speeches, and the consequence was that several large volumes of Greek roots were allowed to evaporate tm the State Capitol. With the eminent practical sense which sometimes €ven overcomes the shadows of science, the members united In dissecting @ most symetrt- cal dinner, provided by the muniticence of Albany. At ten P. M. the members returned on board the Pierce, all congratulating each other on the epicu- rianism of the Albanians, and an effort was unable this morning to arrange for another excursion, It ppears the honest savans went down yesterday afternoon, expecting to stop at the Bessemer Iron Works, but the Commodore of the Plerce refused to consider the scientists otherwise than as subordl- nates, and steamed by the iron works triumphantly, und bore the Convention to Albany, sorely against its will, It appears that the Commodore had orders from the Admiral of the Port of Troy, and from his sailing orders he would not deviute, The members thonght of revolt, but that would not have been scientific. They thought. in the language of the eminent State geologist of New York, that they “would sink the steamer Plerce;’’ but as many had not yet read their contributions vo sclence they de- clined to lie down to endless dreams, This morning Mr. Hall rose and declared that this mutiny should be duly punished, and proposed auotber excursion. It was agreed to. THE FOURTH DAY—MORNING. ‘The association met at tea A.M. Among the dis- linguished new arrivals 1s Professor Stlltman, of Yale College. The presence of the Professor hag iven new interest to his depariment of science. 8 on other days of the session, the court room was well filled with spectators, many ladies lending their cars. What was intended to be one of the features of the day was the reading of a paper by Lieutenant Dutton on the Bessemer Process. When M. Hubei, earned German, sought the same privilege yester- day he was denied, though he did not seek to repeat or recapitulate, but merely to describe dis- coverles of great value in natural history then un- known to the world. Lieutenant ©. E. Dutton therefore read the first paper given in general session. He discussed the conversion of cast iron to wrought tron and its sub- sequent conversion to steel. He spoke of reducing the impurities. He showed the presence of silicon, carbon, sulphur, phosphorus and manganese, The: elements were susceptible of high oxydization, here he discussed the various chemical afinities and all the stages of transition, golng into the minute pa atomic measure. He entered fully into the me- chantsm of the manufacture, and here his address Was interesting. Steel was not always the best metal. It is not good for railway purposes; but the Bessemer process produces a metal that is not steel, and this metal will resist the strongest siress, It makes 4 perfect homogeneous metal. — It makes a cast wrought fron. We recapitulated experiments showing the utter worthlessness of ail kinds of iron not manufactured, by the Bessemer process, and was extremely violent against “the old manufacturers,” His speech was nothing but an immense puff for the Bessemer concern. Professor HUNT rose and su; ed the marvellous presence of oxygen and carbon in the Bessemer metal and paid a high tribute to the gentieman’s address, Lientenant DuTron responded that carbon from its rare quality was desirable in the metal—fnan- A great deal of discussion followed, following new members were elected this morning:—itey, Richmond Fisk, Jr., ¢ Rev. 7.

Hrrencock followed with a valnable Paper on the geology and Topography of the White | Mountalns. He exhibited @ wooden model of the | range, showing the contour lines tor progressive | and receding elevations. Mount Washington, 6,280 feet hizh, was the loftiest; the vailey of the Saco | river, the valley of the Ammonoosne, the vaile the Ellis river and other depressions Were descr: Bleven different rocks belonged to the White Moua- tain series. ‘She foundation of Mount Washington Was of granite; the mountain was raised from the deep, With the mica giute at its summi ich could now be seen, and the mica glute was not disturbed, but simply borne upward by the upheaval of tho earth. Enis paper went into rocks and formations and was @ good contribution to geological siterature, Prot. THomMAs MeeHaN followed with a paper enti- tled “The existence of two classes of male flowers in the common sweet chesinut, and the infuence of nu- trition on the sex.’ He referred to his paper of last year on the laws governing sex in plants, In which } the theory was propounded that only the highest | grades of vitality produce the female sex. He now t nutrition afiected the lity in Tavor of the male sex, He exhib- ited specimens of the common sweet chestnut, show. ing thal there were two classes of male blossoms In Uus tree, One class appeared in the axils ol the leaves on the weak branches, These were the numer. ous White catkins We are al so familiar with ou the wf chestnut tree. They usually fat! betore the list class opened, and probably had little to do with the fers tilization of the iemale flowers. The fe Nowers ouly appeared fromvery Vigorous branches, These bore only two or three female Mowers, and then if any matier was to be spared, continy n with a Weak male spike. If the t 3 weakened mm any manner this last class of 1 owers is not formed, albof ths material then bemg required to form the chestnuts, When weakess 15 sull greater no female flowers ai all are borne@ut only male ones, This is | the reason why chestnuts ave scarce In some years, He exhibited leaves from a large chestnut tree wineh had always borne heavily, but only male fowers this year. The leaves were of @ mottled yellow and green tint, showing that its nutritive powers were out of order. SECTION A-—3ORNING. The first paper of the morning was one by Profes- sor G.

Troy, therefore, presents no unusual spectacle save, perhaps, that the city churches and their pulpits are filled with the savants and the ecientfic clergy. The convention has been in session just tour days, and, 48 | have previously adverted to its conspicuous tal- ent, itcan now further be aMrmed that this talent has developed little originality. “Why ¥" sald one ofthe prominent members to me to-day, “Ideas! Did you expect to find new tdeas—new ideas?” The intimation wasin the affirmative. “No,” satd he, “the ideas are all old. They proceed from Ger- many: ou can pick them up in Denmark; they are metamorphosed exotics.”” This, I fear, ts about true. Men come here, aud they must, they must read pa- pers—papers, you see, are absolutely necessary.

Let one conjure then the heaps of o1fal that are deposited among the literary rabbish—stale stuf, extracts from documentary stu- pidity, solids botled down from Liquid nonsense—and oh! such weary platitudes, such obscure conclusions, such precise, such grinding, such minute logic!

MATAMOROS, August 1, 1870. The last revolution in this most revoiutionary | of the sister republic Is drawing to a close, for thongh the forces of General Pedro Martinez werd scattered some weeks since by the militia of Nueva Leon, under command of the Governor of that State, General Trevinio, at Charco Escondida, a fea about forty leagues from here, on the Montere: road, the scattered bands still infest the roads an levy contributions upon any train of merckandt that may fall into their clutches, These bande profess to be acting under the re volutionary , authority of Pedro Martinez, bat reaily are nothing: but highway robbers.
