Then there were numerous petty swindles to which I was subjected. The hackmen discouraged me and cheated me on every possible occasion. Unless & bargain was entered into in the presence of reliable witnesses before taking a drive, the usual seale of prices -was doubled, or multiplied by four. The hackmen reaped a rich harvest ont of the Seventh regiment boys and their friends, 80 that when the racing commenced these drivers of nondescript turnouts were thoroughly organized for mutual protection on the high tariff principle. The hackmen will, in time, give Saratoga an unen- viable reputation, and it is the duty of the gentie- manly and courteous hotel proprietors to suppress, in a measure, the outrageous demands of the greedy drivers, who are striving to dissect the goose that lays the golden eggs, which goose is, of course, the long suffering and patient public. One Senson spent in piloting a public conveyance about Saratoga would about fit a man for the duties of a model legislator or an average Congressman. Some of the old bandits, who have grown brazen in the business of “beating” visitors, boldiy announce that it is all right to beat New Yorkers, who come up to spend their money, and they might as well get it as fastas they can. Shey say the season is short, and one often hears the expression, ‘We're bound to make hay while the sun shines.” And don’t they make it f NIAGARA FALLS. Arriving at the depot with the other unforta- nates, I was glared upon by the hackmen, who were nicely caged and chained in a little place in the centre of the platform. A few years ago these hackmen and drivers got to be so very demonstra- tive that they tore innocent passengers in pieces and deposited their remains in triumph at various hotels. J understand that before they chained the drivers they used to enter the cars and capture the passengers, taking them out and driving them round the place, utterly regardless of the fact that mild-mannered old men and frantic women de- clared in piteous accents that “they didn’t want to stop, but were going right through to Chicago.” ‘Things are different now. The hackmen are chained and subdued. During the past week the weather has been cold, actually cold, so that a blazing fire has been very comfortable. Even as 1 write there is a fire smouidering in the grate, The evenings have been chilly and an overcoat has been my constant companion whenever I have taken ” promenade at night. The diference in temperature between Niagara to-day and New York two weeks ago Is something to wonder at. The cold snap hasina slight measure checked the current of visitors; but this is only local and does not affect the great tide of travel. Nearly every day there is a school picnic here, from the country, within a radius of fort; miles, and this makes glad tne hearts of the curi- osity sellers, even if it does not help the hotel keepers much. The leading hotels are well filled, though they are by no means crowded.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, ‘What They Are and Where They Aree The Journey and Its Conditions—In the Days Before the War—Acceptance Way to Paradise—First Grand Ball of the Season—The Promised Amusements. WHITs SULPHUR SpPRINas, W. Va., July 23, 1872, The trip to the White Sulphur Springs is one of the most unusual and in its way most interesting which can now be undertaken by the tourist in this country. AsIcame from Washington to Gordons- ville I coujd not help thinking that all of Old Vir- ginia was on a spree, at least the colored part of it. Everybody was dressed in his best,and the young giris wore the most startling combinations of calico and ribbon ever seen by mortal eye. From Culpepper to Orange Court House every station was swarming, and by the time the latter place was reached the cars were full to overflowing, My com- panion, or, more aptly as well as more poetically, “the fellow that sat by me,” who was, I believe, “@ member of tlre press,’’ informed me they were going to Orange Court House to “assist” in laying the corner stone of a new Baptist church. As Iam always intensely interested in niggers, we got up quite a conversation on our dusky hired brethren, “Yesterday was court day,” he said, ‘and they were all out, men and women, filling the room al- most to suffocation.” I answered, hesitatingly, ‘as American citizens, they wanted to see justice done and the laws faithfully administered, perhaps.’ ‘This he answered with a sigh, saying, “They were better off when they were slaves.” “why? “Becaue they have too many children ever to get on.’? This was novel, if not logical; but I did not care to pursue it in sight of Cedar Mountain, and a Imundred of the battle flelds of the late war, so I tn- quired, ‘‘Are they for Greeley?” “N09 “How are the democrats going?” “Everybody for Greeley, pretty much.” And sol parted from my new made friend, and threw myself into the arms of THE PIE WOMEN OF GORDONSVILLE. Everybody tells you that in trying to get to White Sulphur you must not fail to invest in a leg of fried chicken, a piece of pie and a cup of milk at this point on the route. These are said to be the finest in the world, and such good advice is not to be aisregarded by one who will soon be hurrying on toward Charlottesville and Staunton, with no chance to eat again short of the Alleghanies, The venders of these articles do not seem to be the typical ‘“Mammies” of the Virginia of ten years ago—they are toe long and lean for one of those contented, .well fed old matrons, who believed themselves the mothers ol all the Presidents and all the future Presidents. The chicken came up to expectation, but the and milk were failures. The ride between Charlotteville and Staunton is delightful, the views of the valley being enchant- ingly beautiful, But all nature does not seem to be true to nature, ana if an artist should transfer to his canvas this BCENE OP SURPASSING LOVELINESS as {t actually appears to the eye he would be Janghed at as much as Brumidi for his wonderful heals ones. in the national Capitol. There ts one road in this valley, which, seen from the elevated plateau on which the railway is built, is unlike anything else almost anywhere. To the eye it looks like a P ged of broad, flaming red ribbon stretched for miles along the valley. If I did not know it is only a roadbed of red clay I should call it a belt of imperial velvet over which the old lords of the sacred soil used to drive with their showy horses and carriages. On a bright sunshiny day the traveller can feast his eyes for hours on these surprising beaut nd not gtow tired of the prospect. When Staunton is passed, the scenery, though less beautiful and ex- pansive, becomes bolder, and the awful majesty of the.mouatains begins to be felt in the cliffs, which are constantly revealing themselves, Turn where ou Will and @ mountain 18 sure to confront you. the railway stations seem cramped for want of room to stand on, and most of them would be appro- priately termed “Nowhere.” Yet this is the famous mineral springs region of Virginia. Away of from these stations, clinging on to the mountain cliffs, are spacious hotels, plenty of alum water and in- nhumerable warm, hot and healing baths, One be- gins to feel, as he sces limp passengers getting off at every station to try the eMcacy of one or other of the waters of whichthe advertising columns of the ug newspapers are now full, that some- body will ask him whether he is going to try the Rockbridge Alum or the Red Sweet, and what his malady is, Indeed, a kindly judge from Baltimore pressed some nice cold ham and buttered bread upon me merely because 1 looked pale and ex- hausted from the fear of such a catastrophe, - THE DiSCOMFORTS OF THE JOURNEY are romething enormous. At Staunton the passen- gers of five carriages are crowded into three, and the sickly old gentlemen who must have two seats don’t make it particniarly plea int for the healthy fellows who can’t get one. Each station helps, how- ever, to reileve the overcrowded condition of the cars, and by the time Covington is reached some- thing like comfort is again attained. From here it ie a two hours’ steady pull to White Saiphur, The grade isa peayy, one, as is attested by every motion on the train as it slowly orawis from ledge to jecke of the Alleghanies, rkness has set in in the meantime, and the wild surroundings are rendered wilder still by the overhanging shadows of the in- visible, On this part of the route, the work of the day being over, a different element of Vir ja life reveals itself—the darkies coming on the platform of nearly every station to play the banjo and dance to their rude music; and it is amid such scenes and soynds that one arrives at White Sulphur Springs. FIRST EXPERIENCE AT THE SPRINGS. My = first impres of the Springs were not what I would call agreeable, A man named Trotter sold me @ ticket to ride from the mi to the hotel, about one hundred yards, I him why the ho’ qoonle did not take care of their guests, but he did not know, and I was re- volving in my mind whether the Trotter Brothers were relatives of Mr. Job Trotter, better known to Mr. Pickwick as Alfred Jingle, when we arrived in the village. No sooner was I in the stage than I would have sworn to the relationship, for 1 was in- vited out of my cosey seat in the corner that a boy wight take it to hold a dog. The boy was not ® Very clean boy or @ very nice looking boy, and the dog was beyond my powers of description.

WHERS AND WHAT ARE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS ? Tt is bh rhs Aeon where fee — — Sulphur Springs, thoug! one mau in a thousan knows, aud nobody can know till he comes here. ‘They are deep among the Alleghany Mountains, off the great lines of travel, and a hundred miles irom auyWhere. ‘the ings are sulphur water, and that isall. Their medicinal qualities may be very great, but fashionable people in good health don't go to watering places to get rid of maladies they never had. In the fewest words the White Sulphur is the watering place of the South, and, as befits the chief place ofresort for Southern society, it is an old- lashioned Virginia valley, where nature has done everything and art nothing. If we consider the White Sulphur Springs in their architectural pre- tensions there is nothing to consider. The cottage system as we find it here isa humbug. The rooms are musty and uncomiortable, and, as a young lady put it in my hearing this morning, teach us how to appreciate our homes. But these springs are a favorite resort, and they were a favorite resort when they were far from being as comfortable as they are now. Inthe early duys everybody came to White Sulphur, comiort or no conifort. Clay and Calhoun were here often. Mcuiic always graced the Springs with his presence. It was as necessary for a Southern Congressman to come to the White Sulphur in summer as to go to waaeving ton in the winter. Three Presidents—Tyler, Fill- more and Pierce—were here during their term of office, Almost the entire Bench of the South could be found any season, and the leading ters aud Degen came year aiter year with their tamilies. ne who wanted to find the cream of Southern so- clety, ready skimmed, couid find it here. Iam in- clined to risk the assertion that one-half the notable weddings in the South in the days before the war were inspired and managed here. So notable did this become that the delicious hill behind Paradise Row Is dedicated even in name to Courtship and Love. THE MOUNT OF LOVE. This favorite resort of the frequenters of the White Sulphur is entered by a Lover's Walk, which leads off into the broad path of Hesitancy, unless the pair are of one mind and boldly plunge shtongh the Love Leap into the walk beyond. Here ti paths are more sequestered, with a Lover’s Rest tor those who cannot travel at a rapid pace through Courtship Maze either to Rejection Point or tl Acceptance Way to Paradise, Of those who trav- elled over that course years ago a few are in Para- dise Row to-day, with sons and daughters finding out the way for themselves. In the ballroom over- head, from where I write, are some young people who read in each other's eyes that they have taken the Leap togetner and are already deep into the labyrinths of Courtship Maze, for to-night is the nig! tol the FIRST GRAND BALL OF THE SEASON, The arrangements for the ball were perfect, and in everything it fully met the expectations of 1s projectors, The batiroom ts one of the largest in the country, and it was filed with a brilliant and elegant society, The floor and other committees were composed of energetic young men bent on opprent themselves, and determined on makiug he occasion pleasant for every one besides. Among the floor managers I noticed the name of the Hon. Frank Hereford, member of Congress for this dis- trict; but unfortunately Mr. Hereford had just mar- ried a wife, and could not come. Of the other pel sons on the committee was A. P. Gordon Cumming: of Scotland, a son of the great Atrican tra’ eller, and the Hon, W. 0, Maxwell, of England, of whom everybody at the White Sulphur is happy to know that he is “the son of @ lord” ag well as of his father. Then, again, on the same commit- tee was the name of Singleton Van Buren, a grand- son of Martin Van Buren, and, besides, many dia- tinguished Southern families were represented on one or other of the committees. The dancing was announced to begin at nine o’clock, and 80 ¢ were the young people that the ballroom was filled long before that time and the baton of the leader of the orchestra struck with the hour, In the matter of dress the White Sulphur always was famous, but to-night fairty eclipsed anything ever seen here, even before the war. So numerons were the ele- gantly dressed ladies that it seems almost invidious ‘to single out a few for special mention, yet a few ‘were worthy of particular remark. THE LADIES AND THEIR DRESSES. Mrs. Storey, of New Orleans, wore a white silk dress, trimmed with white satin, and she showed handsome lace and diamonds in profusion. Mrs. Conner, also of New Orleans, a brunette, was dressed in pink silk, with muslin overskirt. Her diamonds were especially tasteful and valuable, Miss Broderick, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., another bru- nette, was dressed in black silk, with black lace, and wore blush roses. Miss McCulien, of St. Louis, had a white tarlatan, with bands of corn-colored satin, She wore no or- naments except pearis. Miss Early, a Baitimore blonde, wore a blue silk, with pointed ruffies and white lace. Pearls, Niss burke, also of Baitimore, was dressed in pink silk, with “blond” lace overskirt.

These names give but a faint {dea as to who are here, and yet this duli catalogue of the different shades of siik and styles of female ornamentation ‘ives a better notion of the company t anything There is a general be ling over could write, the abseace of much of the étle of Southern society which used to as. semble here, and & searcely concealed regret that Northern ladies and gentlemen have cone to take their rt like the carpet-baggers in the political world. At the ball to-night there was scarcely a reigning belle who would have reigned if the war had not happened. The planter is not here in the pride of plethoric acres tilled by unwilling hands, Even the Confederate generais keep away, though Beauregard and, perhaps, one or two others will be here next week. Out of the eight hundred or one thousand people who are now here the old planting interest is so badly rep- resented that the few gentiemen of that class who have come back make the absence of the others painfully apparent. And the Northern ladies are taking the lead in every amusement, Of these Mra. dames Brooks, wile of the Congressman, is perhaps the leader. AS soon as the maidens have combed out their hair after the ball and the parapharnalia of the ballroom ‘ive esis to the carpenter's handicraft, assisted by Mra, Jonnor, of New Orleans, and Mrs. Heftlebower, of Baltimore, who is the chief singer, she will bring out a series of tableaux, which is expected to give great entertainment.

HEALING Sprines, Bath county, xe} duly 23, 1872. There are but few places more pleasant to spend & week or two at or to live away the summer months than this, Situated in a beautiful Swiss- like valley, surrounded by sloping hills and high mountains, dotted with farms and covered with primeval forests, presenting acenery as grand and picturesque as that of the Highlands of Scotland and a temperature rarely higher than seventy-four in the evenings, and added to these attractions are the mineral waters so favorably known for their heal- ing properties In all cutaneous diseases, dyspepsia, &c., and the delightful tepid swimming baths for Jadies and gentlemen. It is unfortunate that this really delightful retreat is 80 little known to tle denizens of overcrowded New York, While so many of them have been foundering over the country in search of some endurable spot where they might find a littie respite from the fearful heat, here we have kept cool during the day and not unfrequently sat around our cheerful, cracking wood fires in the evenings.

OBITUARY. A. W. Randall, General Alexander W. Randall, ox-Postmaster General of the United States, died at his residence in Elmira, N. Y., on Thursday, afver a lengthened at- tack of illness. He was fifty-three years or age. Alexander Williams Randall was born in Mont- gomery county, New York, in 1819. In early life he emigrated, with his parents, to Wisconsin, where he chose the profession of the law. His devotion to the interests of the State and his capacity for grasping an {mportant question marked him asa fit- ting representative of that growing Territory, andhe was Sscordi my chosen by a large majority asa member of the Territorial Convention, in 1847, which framed @ constitution that is now, in its essential elements, the statute law of the State of Wisconsin. Mr, Randall was a conspicuous and popular member of that body, and won the com- Mendation of people of every shade of opinton, We believe he was chosen to the Governorship of Wisconsin upon a democratic platform—that is to Say, he was a member of the democratic party— the old democratic party which existed before the war. He was elected Governor in 1856 by a very lary majority, and from this time forth he became identi- fied with the Great West as one of its representa tive men, He was chosen in 1856 to the gubernatortal chair of Wisconsin, which State was among the first—if not the very first—to declare herself unal- terably in favor of the Union. This was early in 1861, during Governor Randall's term of oilice, and’ nearly at its close. The Legislature had convened on the 10th of January of that year, and there was much concern among its members as to the policy which should be pursued by that State during that exciting period. Wisconsin, always democratic previously, had given 20,000 ma- jority for Abraham Lincoin in November, 1860. the messay of Governor Randall terse an comprehensive. He “the election of Mr. Lincoin was legal government was one of the people, and not a Teague of States; that the general government could not change the character of @ State govern- ment, nor usurp a power not expressly delegated in the constitution, and that immediate action should be taken to place the State ona war footing.” Not- withstanding this mesage the Legislature, without having taken any measures to meet the’ recom- mendations of the Governor or the wishes and in- terests of the people, on the 15th of April, 1861, passed a resolution to adjourn on the 1th. On that memorable 16th of April President Lincoln issued his proclamation calling for troops, While the news of this great event in our history was flashing upon electric wings through the coun- try the Wisconsin Legislature was virtually disbanded, and most of ita members were on their way home or were contemplating a departure from the capital. emer- gency had arisen to which the Governor Was fully equal, He had the trains stopped which were on the point of leaving Madison, heedless of threats of penalties for “obstructing the maiis of the United States.” He was determined, if within his power to doso, tokeep the whi epresentatives to their duty. His endeavors failed, however, and the only resource was to cali an extra session of the islature, which did not convene until the 10th of June. In the meantime the Governor “took the San i tne a and caused 23,000 men of Wisconsin to be placed in the fleld; and, to the credit of the Legislature be it sald, they re- sponded fully and punctually to the interests of the people as expressed through the Governor, going even beyond him in their endeavors, by providing for five regiments in addition to those already raised. Upon retiring from the guber- il chair in 1861 he was nominated by Preat- dent Lincoln as Minister to Rome, which appoint- ment was duly contirmed by the Senate, and he de- parted for the scene of his labors in the spring of 1862. Though he filled that position but a short time, yet the records of the State Department bear evidence to the faithfulness, promptness and thoroughness with which hia duties were discharged. Being strictly an American—a representative one— he did not much relish a residence abroad, and accordingly he soon rena his diplomatic position and returned to his home, when he engaged in the practice of his profession, until called, in 1563, to take the post of First Assistant Postmaster General. Governor Randall’sname is familiar to the public from the fact of his being President of the ational Unton Executive Committee, which has recently tasued a call for a Convention in Phila- delphia, having for its object the restoration of the Union upon principles of right and justice. This fact, in connection with his known service in other capacities, no doubt suggested to President Johnson the appropriateness of confiding to him the important post to which he was assigned. He was spoken of as one eminently fitted for the duties ; as an. officer and a friend, faithful and reliable; as a gen- tleman, never forgetting his own dignity or ignoring the sensibfiities of his subordinates, His service as First Assistant Postmaster General gave him an advantage for his new labors that. could not other- wise be obtsined, and Mr. Randall, to the close of his official career, and of his life, enjoyed the re- spect and confidence of his countrymen, Taraia, the Senior Chicf of New Zealand, From Australasia we have news of the death of the celebrated New Zealander, Taraia, a famous chief. He expired at Ohinemuri. Taraia was one of the most valiant of New Zealand's warriors, and quite a terror to antagonistic tribes, He must have reached the age of 100 years, as he remembered when Captain Cook was at Hauraki, and other past events which it would require a centenartan to know anything of. His demise breaks the link between the pure cannibal and the semi-civilized Maori of the present duy. His man-eating proclivi- ties were well known, and a subject on which he used to dilate with great beta, * and usto, It is stated that his favorite break- fast in his very savage days was a nice fat child, giving the preference to the female sex. Ever since British rule has been attempted to be estab- lished in New Zealand he has been @ stanch friend to the pakeha. Governor Browne, in writing, testi. fled to his being a well-disposed and friendly Maori. He has been the recipient of government bounty in the aE of &@ pension for a great many years. The fact of his decease was announced by a discharge of firearms, The event having been looked forward to for some time everything was in readiness. Nearly twenty tons of flour, two tona of biscuits, one ton of sugar, with bullocks, pigs, potatoes and kumeras ad lb. were on the spot for the tangi. Maoris from all parts of the tsland were invited, and expected to come to do honor to the memory of the departed great. Sterrett Ramsay, U. 8. N. Sterrett Ramsay died at Gettysburg, Pa., recent- ly, in the eighty-second year of his age, Mr. Ram- fay was said to be the oldest Paymaster in the United States Navy, He held the commission of a military major besides, He was born in Pennsyl- vania, and appointed to his first commission from that State. He entered tho service of the Union on the 18th of November, in the year 1630, and was last at sea in May, 1868, His total registered sea service was thirteen years, and his employment on shore or othor duty eleven years and six months, He i# rated as unemployed during five years and seven months, and credited with a total service to the country o! thirty years and oue month, Raphaci Felix. The above named gentleman, a popular manager of French plays, died a few days since, at Norwood, England. He had been suffering for some littie time from carbuncie, and his constitution suc- cumbed at the comparatively early age of forty-six, Raphael Félix was the ony sov of M. and Mme, Félix—the parents of Rachcl—whose other offsprin, were Sarah, an elder sister of the tragedian, an Lia and Dinah, two younger daughters, Kaphael ac- companted jis sister in her theatrical tours, and acted with her in London some twenty years ago. Old playgoérs recollect his tinpersonation of Horace, Hippolyte, Polyeacte, and otiwr jeunes premiers of the Preach heroic stage. After Rachel’s death he took to the management of theatres, and of late years attained a considerable position in Paris as director of the Théatre de la Porte St. Martin, where he produced “Patrie’ and many other plays. His activity and enterprise were very great, and for the last few years he has been known in London as the manager of the French plays, which he has produced successfully during six seasons at the Princess’, Lyceum and St. James’, His three sisters, who but a few months ago lost thelr father, went over to London to attend the remains ol their brother to Paris, where he is buried. He leaves a wife and three chiidren—Rachel, Rebecca and Gabrielle, Duke de Gatse.

The standing army of the United States, when at the full strength established by law, ta 30,000, ex. clusive of officers, To keep it up to this @gure re- quires constant recruiting in every part of the country, Our army differs from most others by the large number that is lost by desertions, The term of service being five years, the force ig reduced Several thousand annually by discharges, and the deaths must amount to no tnconsiderabie number but it is by desertions that the rank and file is ae depleted. General Hazen, Colonel of the Sixth infantry, who recently published a work on the French war, estimates that it requires about four thousand recruits yearly to maintain the United States army up to the legal strength; but in conse. quence of soldiers deserting their colors nearly ag Meany more are needed, and yet the regiments are hardly ever full. There are altogether forty regls ments—ten cavalry, six artillery and twenty-five infantry. Of these four are colored—two infantry and two cavalry. There are, besides, the engineer corps and the ordnance department, numbering when full 825 enlisted men. A regiment of cavalry consists of twelve troops, having 1,013 enliste men; a regiment of artillery, two batteries and ton companies, 749 men, and a regiment of infantry ten companies, 605 men. RENDEZVOUS IN NEW YORK. Recruiting is a most important branch of tho service. Itis under the general superintendency of Colonel Jefferson ©. Davis, whose office 1s at the, headquarters of the Department of the East in this elty. As recruiting offices are open in all the prin« cipal cities and towns of the country, the sphere of his duties extends all over the Union. The colored Infantry regiments are full, and the mounted ones require but few recruits. However, the Southern States are preferred for raising negro troops, and itoccurs but rarely that any of that race offer themselves in the North or West. Bya recent order from the Adjutant Generai’s oMce, the standard height for all arms of the service ts fixed at five feet four inches, but this does not apply to, musicians or recruits for colored regiments, the former regulation concerning whom remains im force. There are two principal recruiting ren- dezvous in New York—one for the artillery and in- fantry and one for cavalry. Men are not taken for any particular regiment, They have to enlist for general service. THE INPANTRY ARMY, The infantry rendezvous, in charge of Captain Charles A. Wickoff and one non-commissioned offt- cer and three privates, is on Walker street, near Elm. There are two sub-offices at No.6 Ocntre. street and 884 Pearl street. Men who present themselves at the latter places are conveyed to Walker street for examination. Here a surgeon is in attendance daily, and if the men desiring to join the army are acceptable they are at once con- veyed to Governor's Island to receive their unf- forms and learn their duties before being assigned to regiments. Their stay at the Island depends s good deal upon circumstances, but it generally ex- tends to six weeks or two months. The examina- tion of recruits is very rigid, and a good deal ig left to the discretion of the officers in acceptin :) men,even if their physical condition 1s satisfactory . The government has lost so much by desertions that only persons of presumably falr character will betaken, General Hazen, before mentioned, be-~ Heves that recruits should be required to prove good reputation, give their true names, residence and the names of parents or relatives obtained, The fear of the disgrace that would follow the pub- lication of the names of soldiers abandoning their colors would, in his opinion, have a good offect. © PEOPLE WHO WISH TO ENLIST. In & large city like New York a great variety of persons offer themselves for enlistment. Men of various nationalities, divers occupations and fre many motives desire to enter the army. The pay fair and each year’s service increases the amount. ‘Yhe government allgw good clothing, rations and medioal attendance, though it has to be stated tha in a letter lately published, written by Genera Custer, that otiicer gives as a reason for disconten§ among his men and consequent desertions that the rations furnished were poor and insuflicient, but that the contractors were alone to blame. Tho Germans preponderate in the recruits that Leree the Irish come next and then natives of the Unite States, The latter, it is noticed, pe the army in greater nambers than before the war. Frenchmen do not appear to reilsi, military service in the United States. They are outnumbered by Italians and Scandinavians. It is very rare to flud a Spaniard or Russian in tho army, but they are not scarce in the navy. she and Scotch are not at all numerous, but [t has been found that natives of the British islands who had been in the army of their own country and left without obtaining permission, and were then re- captured, are not unwilling to take service in the United States. But they carry a brand on their ersons Whicii all their efforts cannot efface. Some ave gone so far as to-cut the. piece of marked flesh clean out of their bodies, but the surgeons invari- ably reject these candidates. About two hundred men offer monthly, of whom seventy-five per cent are rejected, The number who find their way from this city to Governor's Island, therefore, averages ten or twelve weekly. The recruits from the In- terior of the State and from New Jersey increase this ligure considerably. THE MOUNTED SERVICE. The principal recruiting rendezvous for tho mounted service is at 174 Hudson street, It. is in charge of Captain E. V. Sumner, who has with bim three non-commissioned officers and six privates, There is a sub-oMice at 120 Chatham street and ano- ther at the corner of Canal street aud the Bowery. The recruits as fast as enlisted are uniformed, fed and lodged in the building on Hudson street, the entire of which is rented by the army authorities. It is more or less of a barrack, for a sentinel walks ast at the entrance, and the men while there are aught a portion of their duties, Upto about a Baya ago Carlisle, Penn., was the recruiting depot for cayairy men raised in the North and Kast, but at that time it was transferred to this city, where it has remained since, The chief depot in the United States for this arm is at the arsenal, St, Louis, Mo., to which place the recruits are sent from New York, when*they number at any one time about thirty. At St. Louis they are assigned to regiments in the same way as recruits are aliotted to ieee and infantry regiinents at Governor's Island, Within a few weeks 100 men were sent to the head« juarters of the Fifth infantry at Fort Leavenworth, ansas, and 100 to the Fifteenth infantry in Color~ ado, Lieutenant J. H. Mahnken performs the duty of Assistant Quartermaster and Comuissary at the cavalry rendezvous. CAVALRY RECRUITS. The mounted service is somewhat more anocess- ful in obtaining men than the infantry, thongh the ay is the samein both arms, A knowledge of the English language is requisite and the medical ex-~ amination is fully as strict, Recruiting in the sum- mer is generally dull but @ goodly number of ad able men keep. continually offering themselves, Three months ago there were 130 men in the id- ing on Hudson street awaiting transportation to St. Louis, and a party of thirty left on Wednesday last for the same point. The ave: number who enlist in this city monthly is sixty. and as the re- Grntetne parece in Boston and Albany send their men to New York the total reaches over one hundred, a much higher figure than what the infantry and artillery rendezvous can show. Knowle of horsemanship 1s not essentiai, but men of li and active physique are preferred, The recruits are made up of Germans, Irish and Americans in the same proportions a8 in the other arma, but some French who served in the jate war have enlisted in the cavalry eNg the past few weeks. The Ord- nance Department has @ recruiting office in the city, bat only men with some mechanical knowl- edge are accepted. STATIONS OF REGIMENTS. From the preceding it will appear that abont one hundred recruits are raised In this city Saag fe the United States aye ‘This is but a small re ° of what is required keep the ranks even do- cently fille: ut in the Western, Southern and Pacitic States there are also oifices where large ro- Joforcements are obtained. In the winter season there is less difficulty in obtaining men of the right kind. The recruits are distributed according to the necessities of the service, The greater nhum- ber have been going for some time (o regiments serving in ‘districts Inhabited by hostile Indiana, But while Indian depredations are gol on the Southern States are well guarded. Exclusive of Texas, in which there are six regiments, we find distributed through North Carolina, South Caro- lina, Tennessee, Mississipp!, Louisiana, Fiorida and Kentucky no less than eight regiments, numbering 7,000 men. These troops do not occupy forts or barracks, but are encamped jn the latertor of the States mentioned. Including Texas, there aré now in the Southern States about twelve thousand regular soldiers, ANOTHER HOMICIDE.
