Apologetic # the last man ii> this world to make a ve teran soldier feel badly, is the writer of your New York letter I see hy the issue of the Herald of June 8, an Indignant note from a member, of one of the New York regiments in your vicinity, protesting against a remark made at one oi’ our clubs. Perhaps it would have been as well not to have put it on pa per—but, certes, no true soldier in blue would take umbrage at its meaning, for, of all n.en those who have fought our battles, endured hardships, and are now returning home, he cannot lie classed, and is not classed among bounty jumpers! The'fact is, certain of the late regiments raised in this ritv con tained a large number of .what are termed “bounty jumpers,” but, from tlie testimony of officers and privates, they never remained auy longer with a regiment than they found it profitable so to do, aud just as soon as they ascertained their field of .operations in the stealing line was restricted, they managed to either desert, feign sickness, or hibernate id the guard-house. No thing on clod’s earth is thought so contemptibly of by our com munity as a bounty-jumper,“ and the youth who made the objectionable remark did it thoughtlessly. Sorry, indeed, am I that, in including it iu a paragraph for your columns, 1 occasioned a pang to a Union soldier's heart. The Boys who have returned home, with their tattered and war-begrimmed banners, their even tread shaking Broadway with its regular ca dence, have received that heart-welcome from our citizens as they passed that shows most unmistakeably that their services are appre ciated aud acknowledged. May they all find that comfort and happiness in again resum ing their old places in Home’s chimney corner which shall compensate them for the liberty and freedom they have secured our beloved conntry. Taste. We pride ourselves on our taste in this metropolis—we do. We set she curious world agog r.t our numerous exhibitions of t;iste as variously displayed in its multitudinous forms of palatial residences up town and our mag nificently grand warehouses dow*h town.-- The facades of our buildings the whole length of Broadway are evidences of this faet too palpable almost for corn meat. We have in one block some twenty odd buildings, every one of which has a different front from its contiguous neighbor—g marble pan with highly ornamented carvings, cappings apd elaborate stoops —the. next, a sombre, plain brown stone—then a brick building with white marble window trimmings and copings —then a freestone building with iron trim mings—some with gothic windows, some with pillared doorways, some with vestibules, some with massive oaken pgffßeled doors, others of- iron, and nearly all with marble dooring on the main balls. Then the variety ot signs to take iu at once glauce would be productive of a first-class attack ot Strabis mus. Oh! we are a community of taste -iu buildings especially, in <ir. vt ’ particularly, and in our way of placing goods before the public generally. Tlie greatest display of taste in gent’s dress was out on Broadway the hottest day last week, thus: —a straw hat, a linen coat, a pair of white pants, gaiter boots, and— a double-breasted black velvet'vest ! In the why of tempting taste iu the display of goods, the old Irishwoman Vvbo placed her two pints of strawberries on a couple of large cabbage leaves, rather whipped our folks who artistically arrange their show windows. The Resumption of Specie Payments is being agitated in some quarters, aud the fact, of the plentiful supply of cents is cited as a means to retire all postal currency below the denomination of ton cents. It is a fact that we have an abundance of cents, indeed such a surplus as to make them in convenient. There are reasons in favor of a resumption of specie payments'; but there may be those who can recollect the time when dimes, quarters and halves were such a great inconvenience in handling that they were converted into paper as soon .as possi ble. So it is now with cents. Ere one knows it, he has a half pound of metal in his'pock et. And yet the public arc snfferingjnuch more annoyance from the dirty ami ragged postage currency, which, if the sixteenth part of an inch is torn off, there are those who are just stupid enough to refuse them, because the Treasury Department issued a circular that its notes would suffer a depre ciation in accordance with the amount torn from them. One* could figure up the loss of a quarter of an inch off from a fifty dollar note, but it would not be so easy to deter mine that, on a five cent postal currency bill. An luflnn Georgian. handsomely flanked a Pecksniff in an omni bus the other day. Tlie Georgian was help ed into the stage by his colored servant and the servant, took a seat by his side, fmme diately a passenger gave evidence of “smell ing a smell,” and laid it to the colored man, who he insisted should leave the stage. The Georgian protested, saying he could not dis pense with his servants services ; still pug nose objected, and showed a disposition to raise a row, whereupon the Georgian called upon the driver to haul up to one side, dis charge his load, and lie would buy the d—d old concern, and have his ride but. This raised such a general laugh against old Olfac tory that he was glad to be let out oi # the stage. The Catafalque In which the remains of our lamented Presi dent lay in state at the City Hall has been donated to the Union Home Bchool for Vol unteers’ Children, a very deserving charity, as has also the funeral car. They cost eighteen thousand dollars, and tlie hojie is freely expressed that the gift will be disponed of in such a manner as to realize to the in stitution a sura greater than their original cost. The Mouth* of the Hudson Was the text of an address lately delivered bv Attorney General Cochrane, before the Historical Society. He contended that the waters between Staten Island and New Jer sey are not, and never were, New Jersey waters, but always have been, and are, parts of the Hudson river and the waters of New York. What earthly difference it makes to which Stale they lieloug it is hard to see ; and yet. the matter was litigated for a great many years, more probably, however, for the pos session of Staten Island than to decide to which State the waters belonged. Those Horse* niut that Carriage which a number of citizens of New York endeavored witbout, success tb present to President Johnson, Were disposed of the other day at public auction. It. was at. the time General Sherman was iu the city. ’As the animals and vehicle stood in front of the Custom 1 louse, many people were seduced into the belief dial Teciunaeh was inside of the building. Quite a largegcrowd collected in consequence, hut when the sale came oft’ it. was found there were vary few bidder*, so few indeed, and so ill-disposed to pay what the eommiltee thought.the horses worth, that they were bid in at SI9OO (it is understood they cost only $10,000). As the auctioneer mounted the driver’s seat apd stuted the preliminary terms, somebody ex claimed, “Walk your horses up to the' eor i nor!” while another said,. ‘ I have a better I span at home ; 1 wouldn't take lbe norses as a gift: the oft horse is badly sprung.” .But the horses were put up without showiug their merits, the committee objecting to what they considered so palpably ajocky trick, and the committee bid them in at. the price stated. The carriage was sold at SI4OO to Capt. French, ot .French’s Hotel, aud the harness, blankets, whip, etc.,jwere sold for smaller sums. One person remarked that the proceeds of tlie sale would go to wards buying mourning suits for the contrac tors who had been done out of a big job; and so ended the attempt to bestow a gift on our incorruptible President . Coney Island is beginning to be a place of resort as ifeual in summer. The steamboats are running, crowded with'rowdies, thieves and fastwo men to one end ot the island, while private carriages without number are daily speeding it over the road to the other portion of tlie island and the ears run crowded, ihe two lat ter generally filled with respectable people. The only trouble is that tlie hotel keepers have learned tlie art of extortion tA their hearts content, and while there are a few of the class who act decently by their visitors, the majority pay no regard to the comfort of their guests, or the privacy and seclusion of bathers. Among the methods of reaching the abode of sand flies and sea breezes is a line of running cars via Bath, newly intro duced and doing a good business, but unfor tunately running to the least respectable portion of the Island, and aline of horse-cars which run to the eastern part of the island. latter route has just put on some cars entirely open so the sun anci winds of heaven, and on one or two of those showery days last week, those who travelled on tlulm enjoyed a bath long before reaching the haven they sought, and the opinion was freely expressed that those ears wouldn’t do. Another lot of open cars with awnings overhead, is more patronized as well as more desirable, and these arc also full. Coney Island will do Us full share of business this season if the landlords become reasonable. Regatta* Have been quite plentiful lately. The Brook lyn Yacht Club have bad one in which thirty small vessels were entered, aud quite a spir ited race occurred. The New York Club had their annual regatta cm the Bth, some half a dozen yachts participating, and the winners of which were the schooner Magic aud the sloop Aunie. The prizes were an ele gant silver, punch bowl and a cigar casket of the same material. The feet of ihe latter consist of four dolphins, standing, as usual, with that “ queer fish” on their beads. The race was a slow one, there being little wind, but, still quite interesting. The manner in which the little sloop Annie sailed under the stern and around the bows of the larger craft around the light ship was a theme of uni versal praise and delight.* The first boat in was the far-famed Maria, built, years ago by the veteran Commodore Stevens to beat the renowned America, but owing to her large size aud great saii-earrying capacity, the al lowance of time gave the jehoouor prize to tlie Magic, formerly known as the Madgie. A race has been arranged between the Magic and tlie new yacht Josephine for one thou sand dollars, aud another regatta by the Club, in which there will be a full represen tation, will come off soon. Astonishing Liberality has been shown by the Atlantic Mail Steam ship Company, better known as the Vander bilt-Allcn line. They have offered to trans port, to San Francisco at half the regular rates I of passage, all officers and enlisted men of I the army who entered the service from Cali : fornia or adjacent Pacific territory, and who have been honorably discharged. The proba bility is. the poor fellows who accept trans portation this side the Isthmus on such terms, will die from staivation before they reach Aspinwall- Church Trial*. It is said that Bishop Potter, of the Epis copal Church, has taken steps to bring Rev. Dr. Mulilenburg to trial on the charge of af filiating with tne Presbyterians, Congrega tionalists, &c., while Rev. John Cotton Smith, Rev. Dr. Tyng, Rev. Dr. Taylor. Rev. Dr. Canfield, Rev. Alvah Guion and Rev. Mr. Da Costa, all eminent clergymen oi the Low Church, are spoken of as in the same category. The trial will create an immense sensation in the Episcopal Church. Relic Hunters have an opportunity to obtain a souvenir of the rebellion in the shape of the dratt wheels Os several of our city districts, which, with the furniture of the offices, are to be offered at auction. The Historical Society frill pro bably take one of them. The consolidation of the Provost Marshal» offices are she cause ot this sale. Thus disappears from public sight the last relic of au institution dreaded by many and loved by none. The Hackmen have been treated to an inspection of their vehicles on the occasion of anew issne of licenses. Those which were not clean, not properly horsed, and had not their numbers conspicuously placed, were refused a license, until they bad bestowed the proper attention PRICE.’ 5 CENTS upon such matters. The old regulations on ibis subject, which had fallen hito disrepute were simply enforced, apd the Lord knows a strict application of them' was necessary. Many of the coaches were alive with insects, and worse still the effluvia of small pox and kindred diseases have clung to them long enough. Renovation was needed sadly, and the great mass of the scoundrelly owners and drivers have made money enough in il legal overcharges to enable them to at least keep their vehicles iu order. llow to Live iu New York is something not one pcrson'ou’t of a hundred knows anything alxmt, or rather, perhaps, more strictly speaking, not one person In a hundred knows’any thing about economy, or is sensible enough to practice it. How many thousands are there - who rush to the suburbs to live because, forsooth, they cannot obtain such a house-as they want, at such a rent as they regard reasonable. They will go three and four miles out by street cars, in Brook lyn, Jersey, etc., anil pay SSOO rent, rather than take a nicely situated house in the city supplied at S7OO. Now let us see how much .economy there is in this. The riding will cost $l5O per annum, that makes his rent at once $650. Then all groceries in his neighborhood are from 50 to 100 per cent, higher, making his living at least S2OO per annum higher, increasing his rent to SBSO. Then the loss of opportunity to secure bargains in drygoods, adds another increase of at least $l5O, making his reat SIOOO. A friend of mine, bought a summer hat. the other day lor twqnty-five cents, bet ter than one another friend, who lives in the suburbs, paid $2 50 for; there was $2 25 lost. Another friend pays $1 25 for tea, which is far superior to that suburban friend pays straight along $2 for. Now these “ bargains” are to be met with in the city every day; they are so thick, in fact, that one stumbles over and into them—provided one occupies a house in town. But if he • lives on the ‘suburbs, he is always in too much of a hurry ip the morning to get to his business, aud in too much Ot a hurry in the evening to get home to take adfhntage of them. In the morning, while he is gobbling down his breakfast to “catch the next car,” his wife asks him what, he will have for din ner. He responds, with a hot potato in his mouth, “Oh! anythiog, anything. Let me catch i hat next car.” The poor woman can’t go to market—too far off—all choice cuts gone before she could get there—so she is obliged to go to the corner grocery take the vtwst. it has, pay an extra price, and do the best, she can with it. The man conies home, apd finds, perhaps, the same dish laid before him, that he had fed on for three days past. If he inquires why is this, be gets the con soling answer, it ives the only thing the gro cery had fit to buy. So it goes. This is only a sample. As to conveniences in the house— perhaps the water aud gas are in, and per haps not. If the water ip not on the premis es, it is, however, never more than two or three blocks off, and can be brought in pails, and he cari briug a portion of it when he lias time. Yet economy must govern either case. If a man is not economical, his ex penditures will eat up his income whether fee lives inside or outside the city limits. But with economy, it is certainly cheaper living in the city than out ot it. LETTER FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. Manchester,. N. H., June & 186 G, To the Editor of the Herald: A great many of our'boys are now arriving home almost every day who have bravely endured every hardship that a soldier has to encounter in the camp and field. The Ist N. H. Battery arrived in Concord on the 7th inst., and the 11th Regiment, Col- Harrison, oh the Bth, a sad remnant’of what they were three years ago. The 9th Regi ment, ami the Ist Regiment, Heavy Artillery is expected here every day. ELECTION DAY ■ passed off very pleasantly at Concord yester day. Tlie weather was all that could be hoped for, and the citizens of the city made every preparation for the accommodation of tlie vast multitude of visitors that thronged her streets on that day. The procession consisted of the Manches ter Cornet Band, Governor’s Horse Guards, Amesbury Veterans, Bedford Light Infantry, anu a barouche drawn by sicx black horses, occupied by Governors Smith and Gilmore. The Governor’s Council, members of Con gress, and other honorable personages, m carriages, backed by the 11th N. H. Volun teers. Gov. Smith’s inaugural is one of the best that wa9 eveiQclelivered in New Hampshire. It touches upon a diversity of subjecia, each one bf treated clearly and can didly. i |j Hon. E.

Dana Bradford, Chaplain, and other candidates nominated by the Republican Caucus were elected without-opposition. THE WEATHER is fine. We are having some very warm days even in this northern latitude; the thermometer ranging from 85 degrees to 95 in the shade. The crops are looking well, and if we have plenty of rain we shall have the largest crop of hay that has been cut for a number of years. • Yours, <fcc. H. E. L. Prentice aboct Davis. — Jeff.
