A New York correspondent of a Sunday pa per tells the following, which exhibits the oharaeter of Col. Wilson’s Regimsnt: “A good story is told of ex-Alderman Billy Wilson’s regiment of pickpookeis and oity vag abonds, who ara now encampsd on 8taten Is land. A patriotic clergyman got bis congre gation in Brooklyn to contribute quite a pile of money, last Sunday, for the benefit of Wil son and bis crowd. He waited upon the ‘Col onel’ at the camp, made him a pretty speeoli, full of sympathy, explained the purpose of hia visit, put his band in his pocket to take out the gold—but it wasn’t thsre!

At tba eight, therefore, of this riv er, the pilgrims were muoh stunned ; but the men that went with them said, “ you must go through or yon cannot come at the gate.”— After they crossed, they met two angele, clothed in white apparel, that shone as silver, who were watting for thorn* guided by these attendants, tbejr walked onwards towards the gate. The allegory continues, “ Now when they were eoroe up to the gate, there was written over it in letters of gold: “Bleated are tfaej that do hie command ment!, that they may have right to the tree of Life, and may enter in through tbo gates into the City.” After they reached the gate, a messenger was sent to tell the King that they bad com manded that they should be admitted. “Now, I sew in my dream, that these two men weal ia at the gate; and lo 1 aa they en tered, they were transfigured; and they bad raiment put on that shone like gold. There were also that met them with harps and gave them to them ; the harps to praise withal, and the crowns in token of honor. Then 1 beard in my dream, that all the bells in the city rang again far joy, and that it waaaaid unto them : “ Enter ye ia nato our Lord.” 1 also heard the men themselves, that sang with a loud voioe, saying: “ Blessing and honor and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and onto the Lamb, forever end ever.” Now, just as the gates were opened lo let in the men, I looked in after them ; and he bold the City shone like the sun ; and in them walked many men with crowns on their heads, palms in their hands, and golden harps.— There were also of them that had wings, and they answered one another with holy inter- miesion, saying: “ Holy, Holy, is the Lord.” And after that, they ibut up the gates, which when I bad seen, I wished myself among them.

It is be< cause we do not believe, lhat we ao often pain full/ murmur to our disquieted soul, “Bure, if I were a child of God, l could not suffer.” Even at the most advanced stage of our experience as disciples, we have jet to learn the full meaning of these words, “ Believing in Jesus.” Few attain to llie experience of a venerable old man, now a saint in glorj ; after fort/ /ears’ service in the cause of bis Master, amid a life of peculiar trial end jo/, said, “ I have learned what it is to believe Enlistment for the War. We learn that the order from Montgomery to the Governors of the States, to receive no more Volunteers for twelve months, but for the war only, is occasioning much disappoint ment to companies thAt bad made up their complement of men with a view to one year’s service, and had tendered, or were about lo tender them to the Governor or the Pres ident. The new order will necesitate a re-formation of many companies, and some that were full for a year’s -ervice may not be able at present to form full companies for en listmeni during the war. Still, we are constrained to concur with a Ute Montgomery correspondent in bis opin'on that the policy adopted ie the oorrect one, and mainly for the reasons suggested by him. Ii ia now apparent that the war is to beprosecu ted by the Government at Washington with at object that must make it a protracted one.— The purpose of subjugation is distinctly avow ed, and the preparations are on a scale com mensurate with that design. We hear that the Northern troops that had at first enlisted for three months are now enlisting for three years, and that the call for three yea Volunteers is responded to with alacrity by the Northern people. This evinces a spirit that must, without an unforseen interventun, pro traot and embitter the struggle ; and it creates a necessity for corresponding endurance and sacrifice by the solJiers and the people of the Confederate States. Our correspondent has alluded to the considerations which, in a struggle of this kind, make it almost impera tively necessary to have-troops of long terms of enlistment, instead of soldiers of abort termi whose frequent withdrawal would great ly embarrass operations. In the war of the Revolution, General Wash ington complained of the abort period of en listment of many of his troops as one of his greatest sources of embarrassment, and de clared that with regular troops of long terms the war could muoh sooner have been brought lo e successful dose. It ia remembered that Gen. 8oott, on his march to Mexico waa simi lerly embarrassed by the expiration of the terms of some of his troops, whom no consid eration would induce to re enlist, so anxious were the/ to return home. It is manifest that the best interest of the service celled for the adoption of the order for enlistment* during the war, and, though it will be a disappointment to many who have contemplated only an engagement for ooe year, it cannot be doubted that a patriotic and resjluto people, having reeolved to mainluin at any sacrifice the s<and they have taken, will oheerfUlly acquieseia a measure demanded by their country’s necessities.—Columbus Kn- gu irer. ■ 4IM».
