YORK LETTER-
OUR NEW
[From Our Special Coexespondent.]
New York, Oct. 14, 1865.
Auctions—Real and Mock.
From public announcements in the newspa
pers it would appear that sales of property by
auction are very extensive. These sales em
brace almost every species of pTbperty from
real estate to small wares, and in the public
action rooms the amount of property advertised
to be submitted to the auctioneer’s hammer, is
very considerable; but there appears to be a
curious, perhaps mysterious, feature in those
announcements, namely, that in many cases it
cannot be defined for what purpose the sale is
called whether bankruptcy, voluntary or
w hat; and ascending the scala approaching
to the vestibule of the City Hall, the common
observer, at first sight, would be struck with
the idea, that all New-York was in a state of
bankruptcy. At either side of the vestibule,
right and left, a large board covering a blind
or mock doorway, is placed against the wall,
and these unseemly structures are pasted over
from top. to bottom with printed forms of
“Sheriff’s Sales,” filled up in manuscript with
a description of the materials to be sold, the
whereabouts of the property, and the cause
from which the sale arises. However, the ob
server. seeing that he could not realize the idea
of wide-spread ruin in trade, which those omin
ous Sheriff’s Sale poster* would prefigure,
with the great commercial wealth and amazing
activity ia business life manifest at every step,
he naturally pauiea to examine those posters,
but few would think of doing so. Well, yonr
correspondent did, and behold what was the
result of his inveatigattion!—Why this, that
there were only a few off scent date, whilst the
vast majority were of dates long anterior to the
present time, some having their origin so far
buck as March last, and every intermediate
date between March and October. Now, surely
in a great city such as this, and on an official
placard—for it is painted at the top in bold
capital letters “Bulletin Board”—such a dis
graceful disfigurement of a pretty little build
ing at its very vestibule, bearing a load of
scraps of posters with official and ominous
import, the object being long ago de'unct,
should be permitted to arrest the public
eye and remain there in its filthy state
for days andweeks and months after the
object of the announcement had been ef-
ected. If there be any officer or ser
vant authorized to look ’ to those “ Bulletin
Boarde” at the City Hall of New-York, it
ought to be his duty to see that as soon as the
date to which the official poster refers has
elapsed it should be brushed away, and those
only left standing bearing on the future or
present dates. Touching these auction sales,
it appears that practices have existed to such an
extent of fraud and perfidy^bat the interfer
ence of legislative authority was deemed neces
sary to arrest their pernicious career. Hence,
we find that in the last session of Congress
an Act was passed called ‘‘the Mock Auction
One, ” specially enacted to meet the grievous
evils arising from the frequency of those auc
tions, and the first prosecution under the pro
visions of this act was instituted before the
Mayor of New-York lately. The circumstances
are these: Mrs. Stebbin, of West 35th street,
complained by affidavit that Zeno Burnham,
the keeper of an auction store in 44 West 16th
street, had defrauded her in a mock auction
swindle out of a 7.30 United States bond for
$1000 and $30 in money. Mrs. Stebbin and
her daughter having keen examined to sustaia
the charge, the Mayor held the accused in
sureties of $5000 to appear fir trial. This
salutary enactment called the Mock Auction
Law, under which this prosecution has bean
instituted, provides, that a person convicted
under its provisions is liable tot a year’s im
prisonment in the county jail, or three years in
•be State Prison.
The Ketchum Property,
Amongst the auctions to come off is the
bonajide sale of a valuable property in Fifth
Avenue, part of the estate of the elder Ketch-
um, late of Wall street, whose distressing case
involved by his son is already familiar to your
readers.
Wool.
Of late days the wool trade has commanded
n lively attention amongst those most imme-
diately interested. In order that the present
state of affairs may be fully comprehended in
nil the details which can be gleaned from the
®ost reliable sources, I subjoin quotations
carefully selected, and which I firmly believe
furm a reflex of the existing state of things in
the raw material:

The foregoing are the present quotations in
the New York market, and the table might re
main as a standard whereby to mark whatever
fluctuations may occnr, higher* or lower, ac
cording to species, under the several denomi
nations—a good reference data, perhaps.
King Cotton and Queen Calico.
Amongst the active thinkers and men of
creative genius and mechanical skill in New
York, an opinion prerails that we are just now
in the advent of a most important era in the
cotton trade, the most important, perhaps, that
has occurred in the history of that interesting
trade for a long series of years. Hitherto, as
at present, the raw material is raised and ex
ported in that state, and imported in the man
ufactured fabric for consumption and wear
where the staple I* fsisdl. In' New England)
and I believe only there; tinder protect!ve du

and if it cqn he generated into the infant state

why not be extended and encouraged and fos

command the whole of id own territory, irre
spective of foreign agency, intervention .or
control. I say New England in particular, be
cause it is prosperous, many failures having
hitherto occurred in other quarVers of the
Union, whilst that almost alone is prosperous,
and why ? Let others answer the question.—
I simply narrate the fact, and reiterate that

Breadstuff's.
In the articles of wheat and floor the trade is
irregular and unsettled, but no material change is
observable to justify an alteratioh in Ae currenoie*
lately obtained.
Dry Goods.
The dry goods market opened on Monday, Ae
2nd, apparently depressed, bat towards Aa close
of theweek and the edhumeneemant ef the pre
sent, the advance in Ae valne of gold and an ac
tive demand from country districts caused an
active business and a firm upward tendency.
'Bleached rad brown sheetings, and shirtings,
drills, jeans and all go.ods of those textures were
in demand and freely bought np. In foot, it may
be summed up that all articles, brpwo, bleached
and printed, are in demand, whilst a shade of ne
glect or indifforenoe ia observable in reference to
foreign goods, and this is just as it ought to be.
Amusements.
The Theatres are all fall every evening, and
the inansgers deserve so mnch of pnblie fhvor
for they labor successfully in catering for ' the fie
crebtion of the people.
, Blind Tom.
A Sootbern prodigy in the person of Blind
Tom, the pianist, is at present oocupyiug pnblie
attention in this city. It is admitted by all that
the poor afflioted creature is a great virtuoso, and
if aperson could divest'himself of the idea that
tbe performer was blind, the ear would be much
more gratified; however, the poor Southern child
of sable hue is a prodigy, and Ae people of New
York have bade him welcome.
Another Divorce Case.
Another little affair in “matrimonial felicity,”
is before Ao proper authorities for adjudication
in New York. It appears that to lately aa the
last year Mrs. Gabriella Seltzer sued for, and ob
tained, a divorce from her husband on a well-es
tablished charge ot infidelity to tho marriage
vows. Mr. Saltier seeming to care little for the
stigma charged upon him, turned the affair into
ajoke and got married to another lady across
the water over the way. Mr. Seltier and his new
wife journeyed along in matrimonial harness to
the admiration of ail who beheld them, and Mrs.
Gabriella Seltzer, that was, seeing the enviable
felicity that existed between her former love and
his new vasa sposa vowed in effervescence that
she should have a restitution of conjugal rights.
It was monstrous—so it was—that that horrible
looking creature of a woman Bhould havp her own
darling Gabriel to fondle and play with as
child with a toy; and so in post haste Mrs. Ga
briella.invaded the course of justice and would
not permit it to run smooth, but applied instanter
to have the order of eourt reversed, that she was
only in jest when she moved to be separated from
her ever-dear and darting husband, and piously
prayed the court to remove “the fiddle case” and
restore her onoe more to the umi of her dearest
darling and take him away from Ae meshes of
that designing woman who had been too artfhl
for his innooence. Motion at bearing.
Latest from Europe.
By tbe latest arrivals of mail steamers from
England we have rather startling intelligence
from Ireland on the snbject of the Fenian or
ganisation in that country and in England and
the United States. Qn Saturday, the 30A of
September, some forty or fifty persons who had
been held in custody were brought before the
Police Magistrates, charged with being impli
cated in Ae treasonable conspiracy, and
amongst those were the proprietors and officers
on Ae staff of tbe Irish People newspaper,
lately suppressed by' the government. Mr.
Barry, one of the Queen’s counsel, appeared
to prosecute for the croton, and in opening his
case before the Magistrates made some start
ling announcements as to the extent of num
bers and resources of the Fenian Brother
hood. He stated that during the preceding
fortnight more than £850,000 sterling had been
received from America to assist io effecting a
revolution in Ireland and a separation from
Great Britain, and on that day (80th of Sept.)
the government had intercepted a letter pour
taining a draft for £150 from America for the
same revolutionary purposes. The making of
pikes, he said, was carried on to a vast extent
in Ireland, and there was one prisoner in cus
tody in whose possession more than two. thou
sand of Aose murderous weapons were de
tected. Besides these formidable implements
of destruction, tbe Fenians in Ireland bad pos
session of revolvers snd breastplates to a great
extent, and some of those weapons were found
in tbe custody of the prisoners who were ar
rested in tbe office of tbe Irish People news
paper. Counsel regarded tbe confederacy as
a powerful organization, not only in Ireland,
but in America and elsewhere, and amongst
the olqpcts in view some were of a most san
guinaty character, jupli a? the qssasslnqtion of
the nobility and gentry, the aristocracy'ana
landed proprietors—the Duke of Leinster be
ing specially referred to as one of the first vic
tims.
The learned counsel, at great length, pro
ceeded to detail the evidence be had in his
possession against the accused for high treason,
and this evidence, documentary and oral, being
so very voluminous, tbe case coqld not be fully
heard on that day, and the further hearing was
^adjourned until the following Monday, the 2d
October. At the conclusion of Mr. Barry's
speech, ha expressed a hope that the proceed
ings then commenced would have the effect of
putting an end once and forever to such hope
less and insane conspiracies. It is confidently
stated that the government is in possession of
evidence amply sufficient to establish the crime
of high treason.

The Kentucky Troubles—Martial Law and the
Colored Troops to be Amoved from the State
General Rossean has a conference with the
President and the Secretary of War to-day,
dnriDg which the General Palmer troubles in
Kentucky were discussed. The result of the
interview was that the President promised the
people of Kentucky, through their popular
Congressman, that martial law shall be re
pealed throughout their State; that all negro
troops shall soon be withdrawn, and that the
abases of the Freedmen’s Bureau shall be cor
rected, so far as a vigorous probing can reach
them. It is understood that the coarse of Gen
Palmer in the administration of Kentucky
military affairs is in the main approved by the
President, and that he will probably be retain
ed in command of the department. Kentuck
ians are not so much displeased with the acts of
General Palmer, as Aey are disgusted with
Aose of some of his subordinates, who have
been running a little darkey machine of their
own in some of Ae remote districts of the State.
The withrawal of the colored troops, promised
Jty the President, and Ae dethronement of med
dlesome little brevet brigadiers of darkies arid
freedmen agents will speedily harmonize affairs
in that State.
The Rights of Freedmen in Mississippi.
Governor Sharkey, under date of September
18, wrote to Colonel Thomas, Commissioner
of Freedmen for Mississippi, Ae following
opinion regarding Ae rights of tbe negroes of
that State under the action of the late Con
vention
I have no hesitation in stating, eg a neces
sary result from Ae action of Ae Convention
that in my opinion the freedmen can now sue
and be sued in any court in Ae State, and as
incident to the right to protection of person
and property, which aro fully guarantee4 by
tfie arpended constitution, (hat they are com
petent to testify in any court of justice. Their
privileges, I think, are fully covered by Ae
principles established by the Convention, which
abolishes Ae whole system of slavery, and, as
a matter of course, any measure or policy
whicl) grew put of that system.

Issues of subsistence stores to hospitals now

of this bureau, will be made upon the same
principles as are issues to the hospitals of the
army. The hospital fund may. also be ex
pended in the same manuer, and the cost 0:’

Enticing, the Southern Freedmen to Brooklyn
and New York,
A citizen of Brooklyn, Ifew Yorg, writes to the
Freedmen’s Bureau that parties in that city are
engaged in inducing negroes to come from the
Sonthern States to the East, promising them
work and good pay, and oharging a iee of five
dollars per head for all whom they transport. By
this sort of agency a large number of indigent
and worthless'blaeks are being-introduced into
New York, and very few are meeting with any
considerable snoeess in getting employment. The
reoent order of the War Department, providing
by the following clause for all transportation ac
quired by the above bureau, wjll enable the lat
ter to do moeh better service in the above regard
than any private agency;—
It is ordered. That, upon the requisition of the
Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner of the
Bureau, transportation be furnished such desti
tute refugees and freedmen as gpe dependent upon
the government fo| support, to points where Aey
can procure employment and uibsistence and
support themselves, and Ans relieve the govern
ment; provided such trar sport*tion be confined
by assistant commissioners within the limits of
their jorisdiotion.
Ddvis Captured Treasure.
The treasure captured among Jefferson Davis’
effects has been counted at the Treasury Depart*
ment. It amounts to *87,878 in gold, mostly old
coinage; $8,822 ia silver; one hundred and forty-
six pieocs of foreign coin, gold and silver (value
not yet estimated), and fifty.six bricks of silver,
weighing over five pounds each, the estimated
valqe pf whioh is one hundred dollars each. The
Value of the whole is somewhere over $100,000.
Despoliation of the South.
In the resumption of mail service in Ae
South continued evidence of the despoliation
of the lend by the rebellion is brought out.
An employe of the Post Office Department
now superintending mail matters in Arkansas’
writes that “on Ae mail ronte from Fort Smith’
in that State, to Caswell, in Missouri, there is
not a house nor habitation where a mail carrier
couffi refresh himself or beast, in a distance of
nearly two hundred miles. From Fayetteville
to Caswell by Ae old mailrbad Ae "distance
is seventy-five miles, and there is aot a bonse
or garden fence left standing, nor a field under
cultivation.” Tbe writer remarks, in addition
to Ae above, that throughout Ae whole of Ae
State Ae restoration of postal service is hailed
With genuine delight and thanks.
The Rebel Ram Stoneioall. 7
The United States steamers Rhode IaUad

rendered to Ae United States by Ae Spt

report that it was fitting out to convey Presi

The Fenians and Mr. Seward.
The English story Aat Mr. Seward gave Ae

sand dollar clause, seem to 'be the only impedi
ment (if any) to my taking a seat in Ae Conven
tion, and if I am not eligible, you will confer on
me, and the citizens of Jones county a great
favor by advertising in doe time for'a new elec
tion.
You have been advised Aat I have taken
the amnesty oath, fiave petitioned for pardon,
and Aat my petition was favorably received
and endorsed by yonrself on the 16th nit. I
am unwilling Aat Jones county should be di
vested of a representative in the event of my
ineligibility, which I hope you will receive as
an apology for my addressing yon on this oc
casion. Direct a letter to me at forsyth,
Monroe county, as I live nearer to Forsyth
than Clinton, and very mnch oblige,
Yonrs respectfully,
Charles L. Rid let.

Dr. C. L. Ridley :
Sir: On the 7th instant I addressed a letter
to the Secretary of State of Ae United States,
advising him Aat in Ae late election for dele
gates to Ae approaching Convention several
counties had returned gentlemen excepted
from amnesty, and requested of him instruc
tions as to their eligibility.
I also further stated that, so far as known
to me, those selected were good and true men,
and Aat their services would be valuable to
the State. So soon as information is received
I shall make it public, and in.the meantime
shall use my best efforts to lpiV e them made or
declared eligibly.
Yours respectfully,
. J. Johnson,
