HHIWrOM NEW YORK.
[From the letter of our New York Corres
pondent. which was anticipated by the news
paper mail, we make the following ex
tracts :
New York, Aug. 16, 1865.
MORALITY
is generally thought to be at a discount in
this wicked city just now, but people on
shore are not always the most, immoral in
the world— videlicet. A war vessel arrived
here a few days since an# anchored in our
harbor. She had not been here for over
eighteen months, and had been cruising on
the Southern blockading fleet. The com
manding officer is a fond father, whose fam
ily reside in Washington. It is not always
the sailors who have a wife in every port,
not by a long shot, and this proved true in
the case of this Captain, for the vessel had
not been anchored ten hours before he
brought a flashily dressed female on board
whom he introduced as his wife. Singular
to relate, most of the officers bad similar
wives! Some two or three mornings after
their airival, and while a jolly breakfast was
being discussed, the Captain and his “wile”
at the head of the table, a boat came along
side, and a little flax-headed boy came run
ning into the cabin with an exclamation—
“Oh papa! N how-glad lam to see you!”—
Bombshells are sometimA, not always, en
cased in iron, and this was one of them. The
colors of a full-blooded rainbow were as
naught compared to those seen in the face of
onr moral Captain, and in choking accents,
while caressing his little boy, he asked,
“Where is mamma ?” The little fellow re
lieved the horrible anxiety of his parent by
saying “Oh, mamma sick—she is at , in
New York!" much to the satisfaction of all
present, who expected to see “mamma"
walk down the companion way! The
“wives” were all discharged that day, other
contretemps being feared.
Cannonading in our harbor.has been pretty
continuous the past week. The Dutchman,
whose frigate is not on the galiot model,
neither is it of the Alabama model, is a jolly
old fellow, who, it is said, follows the ex
ample set by the Russian Admiral when
here—i. e.—every time he drank the port gun
was fired. If Mynheer drinks every time
they fire certes he must punish an awful
amount of liquor. Here we have two or
three French war vessels anchored off the
Battery, who “ follow suit” to the Dutchman,
and then our own gunboats respond—so you
see there is a right jolly bauging away of
big guns, whieb serves to keep the loafers
awuke on the Battery, and scares the flocks
ot pigeons from their corn-picking propriety.
Tuesday ft as the French Emperor’s birth-day
—the Frenchmen dressed their vessels all
over in bunting, sported their epaulettes
and white duck pants, run out their guns,
and blazed away all day, their bands playing
national tunes, and their craft being visited
by officers from all the war vessels iu the
harbor. The sue de joie of the big guns is
somewhat stunning, and tile rear of the
fifteen-inch Dahlgreens of our ships com
pared to the others is somthing like the growl
of a lion over the bark of a pack of hounds.
A DOMESTIC EPISODE
of a curious nature occupies much space in
the papers. Mr. Getty, son of a very wealthy
pork packer, married several years ago the
niece ot ex-President Harrison, and a very
beautiful woman. In an evil hour he became
infatuated with a sister of Gey. Spinolo, who
wa9 a singer in one of the churches of Brook
lyn and occasionally in concerts. He resist
ed the appeals of bis wife to give up his pas
si >n, and she finally told the story to his
millionaire father. He informed his son that
unless he abandoned this intimacy not one
dollar of his millions should ever come to
him. This proved ineffectual, and the father
was as good as his word, making a will dis
inheriting his son, which was discovered
after the death of his father some three years
sinee. The son went to Baltimore, became
involved with secessionists and was locked
up in the Old Capitol, where he stayed ten
years. After his rejease he went to Canada
and soon formed an intimacy, with a
Mrs. Elliott, whose married life, had
been unhappy and who was
ready to elope. They came to New York
and stopped at the] Lafarge House, as man
and wife. He soon tired and left her, send
ing her twenty dollars and a recommenda
tion to return Canada. But the lady was
plucky, and not only refused to do his bid
ding, but employed the police and hunted
Getty up, taking him back to her lodgings in
triumph, During all this time the true wife
had followed him from place to place, and at
last, a few days since, preferred a charge of
bigamy against her husband in one of the
courts. He was arrested, and as it was sup
posed, he was married to Mrs. Elliott, she
also was taken into custody. On an investi
gation, however, she swore positively to the
contrary, and no other evidence being forth
coming, tbs complaint was dismissed, and
another brought of abandonment.dA pri
vate interview between the husband and
wife settled the matter satisfactorily, as he
promised to live with and be kind to her, and
they left for Washington on a second bridal
tour. Mrs. .Elliott, it is thought, has gone
back to Canada.
FIGHTING VS. M'OOING. _
The distinguished .Major General com
manding this department, is about to accom
plish a flank movement of a tfender nature,
and add another to his already long list ot
conquests. Faithfully'has he served under
the blaring flame of Mars, and his very faith
fulness is an augury that bis best endeavors
will be favorably viewed and smiled upon by
the benign goddess ot love—Venus. In a few
days the hero of Lookout Mountain will lead
to the hymeuial altar a lovely daughter of
Vermont. His success at that Muontain
lead# many to believe they may in the future
lookout for “little boys in blue” who will
probabfy inherit their father's patriotism and
military talent.
MRS. ORUNDV
has failed in her high purpose here. That is
the verdict in this city. She was to give us
first class satire, first class jokes, and A No.
1 wit—hut her satire has not amounted to
shucks, her jokes are rehashed from old vol
umes of the New Yoik Evening Mirror, and
the editors doubtless have to retaiu for their
own personal use what little wit they have
got to dispense with it through their own
columns. The Harpers are chief owners and
their first edition of five thousand can now
be counted at a much less figure. Who
will succeed Mrs. Grundy ? >
FLOGGED TO DEATH.
A boy of fourteen, the only son of his
mother, and she a widow, committed a petty
offence lately, for which bis employer caused
him to be seot to the House of Refuge, where
a flogging waa administered which occasioned
his death.
A NEW LIFE-SAVING RAFT.
yolept, the “Nonpareil,” has been tested
with success in this harbor. It is composed
of three airtight cylinders, of India rubber or
gutta percha, each encased in another of
heavy duck, connected with duck flanchers.
On the raft are five “tants,” running cross
wise agting as a cleat, and also as a stretcher
to keep the cylinders apart. The cylenders
are filled with air, and though the raft weighs
but six hundred pounds, it is capable of sus
taining eight thousand pounds w eight. Eigh
ty persons have been carried at one time
upon it. The cylenders can be inflated in
ten minutes by means of bellows. And when
aioat, the raft draws but three inches water.
It is propelled by six oars, kept constantly
in pockets between the cylenders, or by sail.
It is a very valuable invention, and no vessel
should be without it.

(To the Savannah Herald.)
The prevalence of crime in this community,
as well as in the rest of the United States, is
rather discouraging to those who believe
that the world is growing better and prepar
ing for the Millenium. The presgpt seems
to be a time when one of those waves of im
morality wasli over a people, without any
special cause, to the terror of all who are
law-abiding and virtuous. The excitement
of the war, which filled our newspapers with
staring capitals, and thrilling sketches is
followed by local excitements, which are
even more intense in the immediate neighbor
hood to which they come home. Suicidts,
murders roberies, rapes and all the hideous
train of vice and crime, follow each other
in quick succession, and “on horror's head
horrors accumulate.” We had scarcely
ceased to talk of the Roxbury murder—the
mysterious murder of two young and inno
eent children, in open day, less than five
miles from this busy city, and in the thickly
populated suburbs—when the public indig
nation is aroused to the highest pitch by a
diabolical outrage committed in the very
heart of the city on a serene Sabbath even
ing. Last evening a young married woman
named Bates, respectably connected and
above suspicion herself, was returning from
a call, about 10 o'clock, through Court street
to her residence, and when within ten rods
of the Revere House, in this, one of the most
public thoroughfares of the city, she was
seized by four ruffles standiug in a doorway,
her cries stopped by threa g and force, carried
up stairs, thrown upon a mattress and ravish
ed by each ot the incarnate fiends in turn.
Fainting with horror at the inhuman treat
ment she was restored to consciousness by
dashing a busket of water iu her face, after,
which, the violation of her person was con
tinued. She was used with the most brutal
rudeness, her clothes being torn from her
by force, and for four hours she was kept
there, more dead thau alive, and then thrnst
half naked into the street. She staggered
along towards her home, her blood on fire,
her brain reeling almost in the delirium of
agony, and soon met her anxious husband,
to whom, in great anguish, she related the
foul wrongs she had suffered. Furious and
almost insane he rushed to a police station
and related the story. This was between
two and three o’clock this (Monday) morn
ing. Several officers at once accompanied
him to the place where the outrage was com
mitted. One of the monsters was discover
ered in the very room, and all the others
were afterwards found secreted in another
part of the building. They were identified
and taken into custody, and to-day fully
committed by the police justice to await the
action of the grind jury. The building
where the outrage was committed i9 nearly
opposite the Revere House. It was used
during the war as a rendezvous for recruits,
and has been occupied for some weeks—a
port of it, at least—as an office for obtaining
employment for returned soldiers. Several
of these returned soldiers seeking employ
ment spend the night there, and for that pur
pose the rooms ate kept open. When the
poor victim was taken up stairs a sick sol
dier, who was asleep on a matress on the
floor, was roughly pushed off, and the mat
ress taken to. serve the diabolical purpose of
the wretches. This sick soldier aided in
indentifying the prisoners, and the identifi
cation is by that means made complete.
What ought to be done with such deep
dyed villians ? No human punishment can
begin to be commensurate with their crime,
and there is a damnable fascination in the
commission of such outrages which causes
the appetite for them to grow on what it
feeds. And these men are returned soldiers.
It is unjust to the vast body of honest, brave
and patriotic men who composed the Union
army, to take such men as their representa
tives. They are more likely the men who
went soldiering for large bounties, who de

serled, or skulked in the hour of battle. Such
a drain of rascals the world never saw before
as was that from our large cities to the army,
to swell the body of camp-followers, and to
engage in various misdemeanors like gamb
ling, bounty-jumping, thieving, &c. Our
regular crowds of thieves and rascals disap
peared for a time, and many were foolish
enough to suppose that we had got rid of
tnem. But such men don’t get killed; they
stay in the rear when there is any danger,
and only go to the front when there is a
chance tor plunder there. Now they have
returned to their old occupations—only more
reckless, bolder, more indifferent of life, and
more thoroughly bereft of every redeeming
quality. Unless the law is administered with
swift vengeance we 9hall need a vigilance
commute to rid the world of the worst set of
rascals it ever groaned under. It is the duty
ot every father, brother and husband to ut
terly destroy every vestige of such fearful
crimes, and I believe they would be fully jus
tified in breaking open the jail where these
miscreants are confined and hanging them in
a row on Boston Common!
The constabulary police is in very bad
Oder in this commonwealth. The readers of
the Herald who take notice of the New
England correspondence may remember that
the Constabulary Police bill was carried
through the last Legislature as a substitute
for a Metropolitan Police bill which the rad
ical and bigoted friends of total abstinence
and prohitorj* laws failed to secure, though
they were very anxious for it. The bill pro
vides, as passed, for a High Constable of the
Commonwealth, with twenty deputies in
Suffolk county, which comprises Boston, and
one in each other county. The duty of the
constabulary police, however, is co-exteu
sive with the State, and so is Us power. Its
particular line is to look after the sale of
.rum and the fractures of virtue. It visits
rum shops, brothels, camp meetings and
gambling shops, and by-and-by it will be iu
attendance upon musters and cattle shows.
The Suffolk deputies have been very busy
delivering the proclamations of the High
Constable to the evil-doers, and they are re
ported to assemble in solemn conclave, by
night, on tlie State House steps, where they
compare notes bj* the aid of dark lanterns.
The press and the people are making all
manner of fun of them, and the poor depu
ties are about as sneaking a set as you can
ind out of jail. Col. King, of Roxbury,
late commander of the 4th heavy artillery,
N. Y., was appointed High Constable. He
is said to be a genial “cuss,” who takes a
social “tod” without any apparent injury to
his feelings ; but he was in so great a hurry
to secure this office—to which a fat salary is
'attached —that he neglected his command
when it arrived here, and for that piece of
negligence he was dishonorably discharged
from the service, with loss of all pay and al
lowances. When High Constable King set
about selecting his deputies there was quite
a splurge made. He was so intensely pa
triotic that he was determined to appoint
none but veterans of the grand army; and to
that purpose be adhered, so far as I know.
But his appointment don't turn orrery
well. One of his deputies was tameS'roiyee.''
Hayes had a parent, a venerable ward poli
tician. Said parent went to a noted brothel
and told the boss what-yon-call-it that a hun
dred dollars deposited in his pocket would
insure her business against official interrup
tion. He could fix it, and would. The wo
man of the house had an eye to business,
and paid the sum, charging tlie same, I sup
pose, to internal revenue tax. But the affair
leaked out; a complaint was made. Hays
was dismissed from the constabulary
force, and tbe “aged P.” is supposed
to be tranquilly meditating upon the
way of the transgressor, and preparing
for trial. In a tew days this was followed
by another case. One of the deputies had
graced with the laurels of war the name of
McNamara. He was taken in charge last
Saturday night,—being In company with the
same Hayes—Charged not, being beastly
drunk and picking the pocket „
daughter of the pave of all her hard earu
ings. When accosted by the policeman, just
after the pocket picking, he was indignant;
and, bariug his mauly breast he displayed
the badge of office. But this did not prevent
his going to the station, thence to the Police
Court, where he was held for trial at a higher
court. Oh, yes; the constabulary police is
a fine thing for the protection of the innocent
and the punishment ofthe bad ! • Put all the
rascals on the force, and the temptations
they will there encounter will soon cause
them to be taken care of. .

Tennessee-State Bonds. —ln answer to
many inquiries regarding the solvency of the j
State bonds, Secretary Fletcher writes that
•‘the aggregate indebtedness of the State of j
Tennessee is about $23,000,000. No inter- I
est has been paid since 1862. If the present
loyal State Government is sustained, the !
State will be able to resume payment in two.;
or three years. There is no thought of re- i
pudiatiem, but the debt created by the Reb
els will not be uoticed. Back interest will
be paid. The $200,000 issued in 1861 by
Gov. Harris, an appropriation for the Capitol
grounds, was applied to treasonable pur
poses and will probably be resisted. The
resources of this State are equal to any in
the South, and if the State Government can
be kept out of Rebel hands, every dollar of
her indebtedness will be paid.” We are fur
ther informed that all the important railroads
in the Stkte are prepared to pay the interests
due, as soon as the State turns them over to
the companies. This, we expect, will soon
be done. In fact all that is required is the
Commissioners to be appointed for that.pur
pose, as the State has signified its willingness
to turn them over whenever the company
are paid. —Xasliviile Dispatch.

Assaciated Labor Instead of the Plantation
System.
Before the late revolution, by which the
Souibern States lost their negro property, it
was by many disputed that the true policy ot
these Stales was the fostering of manufactur
ing enterprises. Many contended that, cot
ton planting being the basis of all our pros
perity, it was cheaper and better to confine
our industry in the main to the production of
the raw material, and to leave its manufac
ture, as well as manufactures generally, to
other regions. Many planters did not even
raise a sufficiency of meat and breadstuff's
for their own use, considering it cheaper to
buy them with the proceeds of their cotton.
This is what we call the “plantation system.’’
It was founded in error, and we always be
lieved and contended, because it had the ef
fect of increasing the production of cotton
to such an extent as to lessen its price in the
manufacturing markets; and if the price of
the manufactured cotton fabric was also les
sened by the large production, the benefit
enured only in small part to the cotton plan
ters, because while they raised four-fifths of
the commercial cotton of the world, they did
not consume one-fifth of the cotton fabrics.
Moreover, it prevented the establishment and
prosperity^among us of manufacturing enter
prises, which, it fostered, would have com
peted with those of distant regions, and thus
have cheapened the implements, fabrics and
materials that the planters had to use.
‘We were, under this system, opposed to
protective tariffs and government bounties;
when our true policy would have been to
have built up among ourselves the branches
of business that received protection and
bounty, and thus to have shared the benefits
conferred. By doing so we might almost
double our population, and have so varied
our industry as to have made these Southern
States more nearly self-supporting than any
other section of the country.
Hut we dung to the vain delusion that
“cotton waa king,” and it is too late now to
bewail the errors of the past, Can wo so
shape our policy in the future as to attain,
under the free labor system, what we cogld
certainly have attained under a system of
mixed free and slave labor? We believe
that, we may. and we think that if the at
tempt is made and prjsecuted with energy,
our recuperation from present prostration
will be so rapid as to astonish the world.—

Maine Democratic State Convention.
Hon. James Howard, of Portland, Nominated
for Governor—The Resolutions—The Policy
of President Johnson Approved, s•<:.
Portland, August 15, 1865.
The democratic State Convention met at
baflf-past ten this morning. Paul 8. Morrill,
chairman of the Democratic State Commit
tee, called the Convention to order, nomin
ating the Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, of Farming
toD, temporary diairman.
Mr Pillsbury addressed the meeting, con
gratulating them on the restoration of peace.
He said if democratic principle had prevailed
there would have been no war. But, not
withstanding the great bloodshed, peace was
again restored, and great responsibility now
rests upon the democracy. An attempt is
being made to destroy State sovereignty,
which the democracy must frustrate. The
policy of the republican party can only be
forced upon the South at the point of the
bayonet; and hut for one man that policy
would have been adopted at all hazards, anil
that man is the present President of the
Uuitcd States. (Great applause.) For this
we owe him a debt of gratitude. The de
mocratic party, which is the real party of the
Union, seeks ascendency, hot for power, but
for the good and welfare of the whole country.
He hoped that President Johnson would re
ceive themjsurance of fifty thousand men in,
Maine, gflU and true, who tflguM seek to
‘Wij'up Uwarm so long# hi'sustained thh

The second resolves that we should sa
credly cherish the memory ofthe dead, fallen
in the struggle for constitutional government,
and honor tlie living who have perrilled life
and fortune in tbe same great cause
The third asserts that with tlie cessation
war its bloody and barbarous spirit should be
banished from our midst, and hatred and
vengeance should yield to Christian charity
and magnanimity.
The fourth asserts that it is tbe duty ofthe
federal government to re-establish at the ear
lieit momeuLwith the least possible interfer
ence, the true constitutional relations be
tween itself and the late revolted States, and
exert all its legitimate power to promote
that fraternity and universal harmony neci ssa
ry for the happiness and glory of the repub
lic; destined.to be one and indivisible forever.
The fifth resolves that the democrats of
Maine re-assert the fundamental principles
notions, with entangling alliance?StflrtfhliiAH
the support of State governments in their
constitutional lights, aud the preservation of
the general government in its whole consti

of elections; absolute acquiescence in the
will of the mj 1 1 ; a well disciplined mili
tin, and the supremacy of the civil over the
military authority. j
Tiie sixth resolves that the ballot is the
right of every American citizm, to be res
tricted only as the public safety demands;
and that each State possesses the constitu
tional recognized right of pitscribing the
qualifications of electors. ;
The seventh pledges the parf* to demand
equal taxation.
The eighth asserts that the amsadvanced
by towns, cities and the Stai are a llgiti

The ninth resolves “that sdisbing narrow

A Romance in Brief.
Ooly a day or two ago a strange case pre
sented itself at the Tombs, in New York.
A woman of about fifty years of age was
arrested in Centre street for excessive drunk
enness, and was borne in a totally uncon
scious state to the Egyptian structure. She
was a wretched and painful looking spec
tacle ; her attire soiled and in tatters ; her
face bloated and frightful with the traces of
the long indulgence of her base passions.—
Still when she was comparatively sober, she
spoke with a degree of propriety, and an in
tonation that indicated culture and good
breeding, and evinced, through-all her squal
or and decadence, a familiarity with what is
known as “better days."
My informant, an elderly gentleman, born
and reared in New York, says he questioned
her closely, and discovered she was the
daughter of a once wealthy merchant; that
she married a physician of promineuce nearly
thirty years ago: that he well remembers the
evening of her nuptials in Bleeker street, on
which happy occasion the beauty, wealth
anu refinement of the city were assembled
' at her parent's elegant mansion.
Three years after her union she went abroad
w ith her husband ; and while in Italy, fell in
love that is the technical phrase, I believe—
with some handsome adventurer who assura
ed to be a French Marquis, and ran away
rvith him to his estates in Bordeaux, which
estates proved to be imaginary, of course.
Iu a few months the villain deserfed he* and
after leading a life of intrigue and dissipation
st Paris, Berlin and Florence, she returned
to this country as the mistress ol’ an artist
she had encountered at Rome.
For several years site had been in the
habit of essaying to drown her sorrows and
remorse by the use of stimulants, until the
habit became so fixed she could not conquer
it. Iu oue of her periods of intoxicated
phrenzy she abandoned her new lover and
took refuge in a common bagnio.
From bad she w ent rapidly to worse ; and
she lias now for nearly a decade been the
inmate of the vilest dens in Worth and
Church sweets.
Who would or could recognize in the re
pulsive harridan ol to day the graceful, ac
complished, and lovely Irene , who ever
drew after her a long train ot fastidious ad
mirers, and for whose smile the most elegant
of gallants contended ?
To the fair young wives, who sit with their
“spiritual brothers” over the rich wine that
spaikles brighter at midnight beneatu their
reflected blushes, in the gorgeous chambers
of Fourteenth street, while the doting hus
band sleeps soundly in the avenue amid his
lumiuous desolation and his unconsciously
wounded honor, there might be a moral iu
Irene’s history; but of course there is not.
A ou, my pretty Elfridas, are in no such
danger; tor every woman believes herself to
be an exception to her sex, and to be secure
from adversity, while her lover whispers de
licious poison in her ear.
Alas, the day will come when the lover
will not be near, and the whisper will not be
heard, but when the rose leaves of passion
will have fallen and left bare and sharp the
concealed and cruel thorns!
