LETTER FROM NEW YORK. >{ S W Yobk, Friday Evening, July 28, ’65. hot air baths. arc the order of ibe day here to-day—you cun take one at every corner where there is breeze enough to move the tepid atmosphere exhaling from the heat-surcharged pave ments. "The man who was half-baked has succeeded to day in getting a first-class “full bake" by standing at the corner of Broadway sad Maiden Lane with a thermometer in his band One of the freaks of the sun to-day eras the complete peeling of a whole load of peaches a peddler was trying to sell near the Astor House. EXCURSIONS the small sized beaches in this vicinity are Te rv numerous, and are extensively patron lied by the Can’t Get-A.way-Club. The lat ter Club also do a great deal of festive driv ing in the evening on Central Park, where a little cool air sometimes is found, and where a great deal of display in the way of horse flesh, pretty teams and pretty ladies are to be seen. Everybody watches the thermome ter, wipe the perspiration from their brows, and wish they were browsing at the White Mountains. A MAJOR GENERAL OF FIREMEN is wanted in this city to take charge of our new paid fire department. Everything seems to run in the military rut here, and we soon undoubtedly will have to salute each other on the walk, “according to Scott," as we pass. Civilians are of no account except to pat some of thefle military geniuses on the back, and tell them over and over again what almighty brave, splendid, dashing, gal lant and magnificent fellows they are, and how much they have done to sustain that gullorious flag, and secure an everlasting peace to our distracted and almost fallen country. (See the last speech of Prosper.) Well—it’s all well enough, perhaps—but some ot these fellows wear their uniforms a very long while after being mustered out, anil stand on hotel stoops, and do a great deal of heavy standing round—and if wo dont soon get up a war with Mexico, I don’t know but it would be a good idea to find em ployment for them in our fire department or on the police force, provided they can pass an examination. A military fire department would not be a bad thing, and as our insu rance companies are petitioning in its favor, it would not be surprising if it was adopted. A COLONY OF MILLERS has apparently recently come among us. Everybody, Horace Greeley not excepted, wears a white coat, white pants (can’t say whether the ladies wear these, as yours truly is too modest to investigate) white vestsjand white hats. The delightful and adored por tion ot the community wear white gauze dresses in an amplitude of skirt, and a waist of upper portion of dress arguing a perfect fearlessness of the tanning effects of the sun on the shoulders and breast works. How ever, everything human is clad in white—if it grows still hotter, visitors to this town must come prepared to see our citizens in the Georgia costume —a dicky and pair of spurs. A MOONLIGHT MARCH on Broadway is not a frequent occurrence, and once enjoyed is never forgotten. Such was the good fortune of McLaughlin’s brigade last Tuesday night. They had been Expect ed to arrive at Jersey all the evening, and finally reached the depot about nine o'clock. Glad, indeed, were the thousand tired boys to get out of the miserable cars in which they had been indecently crowded by the mean ness of the railroad corporation, and they shouldered their equipments with an alacrity that was refreshing. The sail across the calm, moonlit surface of North River was soon.accomplbhed. The brigade formed on Courtland street, with the General, Major Swords and staff, and the brigade flag at the head, and escorted by some thirty of the sons of the old Bay State, they marched down Broadway. The band struck up “Sweet Home” amidst the cheer 9 of quite a large crowd of “sidewalk volunteers,"*and beauti fully sweet thj familiar strains echoed aloDg our then almost silent and deserted thorough fare, the marble and granite walls of our lofty business palaces seeming to doubly echo Its notes, while the moon gazed down placidly, shedding its silvery light irom be hind the grim, brown steeple of old Trinity upon the bright barrels of . the muskets, which reflected the scintillating Sheen in wonderful splendor—the evening star glis tening and twinkling as if in very gladness at the scene below. The boys themselves, grim warriors that they were, seemed fully impressed with the beauty of the scene, and marched with an elasticity of step that de noted the lightness of their hearts at the thought that this same moon now so kindly beaming upon them on their homeward march, would hereafter shine in more peace ful places than of late her shadows had fallen upon them, and instead of searching their bronzed features while on picket or around the camp fire, would benignly shed its wel come rays upon their pleasant homes from the rock ribbed shores of Massachusetts Bay to the lofty hills of Berkshire. I( a night of rare beauty—cool, deliciously quiet for tbis city—and tbe moonlight march ot the stem but kind hearted McLaughlin and his brave veterans will be remembered by all who witnessed it, or participated in it, as one ot those episodes of this war to which memo ry will often turn with pleasure and delight. Fitting reception to the braveaj—may all future marches for them be as pleasant— may their hearts ever be as light 1 THE FIRST INSTANCE known of a soldier refusing to assist a sick comrade occurred last week at the New Eng- land Rooms. It was decidedly anew sensa- i tion, something really new, and its very newness and rarity occasioned a feeling of astonishment and disgust that went far to make many more than ever appreciate such ! every day occurrences as seeing compara- 1 lively well boys cheerfully shouldering their sick comrades' knapsacks and traps with a cheerfulness that marks the outward indica tions of the warm heart of a true Yankee soldier. The “first instance" occurred this wise: The ambulance had gone to the depot from the Rooms; all the stewards and assist- j ants had gone out on business connected with the institution, when a sick Western boy was found, who bad just awoke from a refreshing sleep, and who had just fifteen minutes to catch the Erie Railroad train. There he stood, weak, hopefnl, and vainly endeavoring to shoulder his knapsack—it was too much for him—he tottered, and nearly fell. The only assistant left in charge of the Rooms at that particular moment turn ed to the nearest soldier and asked him if he would not take the knapsack down to the depot for the sick boy, when, to his astonish ment, he received for an answer, “Yes, 111 take it, if he'll pay me for it /" This was too much—a half dozen boys overheard it, every one of whom immediately offered to take the knaksack and carry the sick boy in their arms for no pay l There was some little in dignation in the glowering looks of these battle-scarred veterans, and it is needless to say that that knapsack was cheerfully shoul dered, while the fellow who for pay was was willing to help a sick comrade sneaked out of sight. The soldier who thus disgraced his uniform was a big,burly, blubber-chopped negro! MEXICAN EMIGRATION is again revived here, and a depot is said to have been opened where “emigrants” are received for a trip to the Halls of the Monte zuraas. Considerable numbers are enrolled, but it remains to be seen how they are going to get to that disturbed country. One funny thing is noticed in this connection, and which is thought to have a political significance which may have a future bearing upon the intcresta of our country, viz: that leading secession sympathizers are very active in assisting the proposed emigration move ment. TUE NORTHWESTERN SANITARY FAIR at Chicago was a big thing in its way. A large amount of money—some SBOO,OOO, I believe —was realized for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission after which tbe fair wa9 named. But in some of its underground aspects the fair was a curious spectacle.— The contest as to what young lady of Chi cago was the prettiest was rich. It took place after the manner of the sword votings of times past, the party having the most money to spare in the cause coming off'lirst best. The first vote thrown was something like seven hundred, representing as many dollars, by a fellow with more cash than brains, in favor of his sister, whose counte nance was certainly not bewitching—far from it. Then various other candidates for the prize were voted for, and the ballot 9 run into the thousands. Miss’ Annie Wilson, daughter of Mr. Wilson, of the Journal, re ceived the prize. Wilson himself was one of the managers of tbe fair, and, having the inside track, kept ahead. But a short time before the ballot-box was closed, another gentleman, who was also in the ring, slipped In enough votes to beat Wilson three or tour. Wilson found this out, and at the last mo ment quietly came down with five votes, i. five dollars, and the contest closed.— People from Chicago tell me the scene was rich, and that the victor was not as beautiful as the money paid out for her would in dicate. Another point about the fair was the mys terious, at first disappearance of numberless very handsome articles seat la for exhibition and sale. One magnificent silk dress pattern, I wot off, came all tbe way from France, where it coat twelve dollars a yard. The gentleman who sent it, wrote to his brother at Chicago, telling him he ought to buy it for his better half, if it could be had for ten dol lars or less. The brother ascertained that the box containing tbe dres9 pattern had reached the fair, but nothing more could at tbe time be learned ot it. He went to the Treasurer, and told bim it must be bunted up, or tbe matter would be exposed in the newspapers. This produced a searching in vestigation, and soon it came out that one of the lady directresses had quietly appropriat ed the silk, charging herself on the books eleven dollars therefor. Dozens ot other cases of a similar nature are known to have occurred. What a nice thing these lady directresses must bare had, though a more rigid code of morality than they appeared to possess, would have applied a harsh term to the transaction. However, there was no re dress for the matter, except that in some in stances the fair appropriators bad to pay a Pule more dearly for their whistle than they at first contemplated. DIED OF OLD AOE. The slowness with which street railroad cars aud omnibusses get over the ground, in hot weather particularly, is dreadfully dam aging to our temper. But until recently it has not been discovered to work.any very serious injury. It has beeu reserved for that lively paper, the Tribune, whose description of tbe scenes in Barnum’s Museum, and of the size, shape and detectability of dutch ankles, have rendered as one of the most comic journals of the times, to find a case where death even has resulted. The Tribune says a young man in the fullest bloom of health, entered a street car, paid his fare, took a seat, and put ting his head on his breast, seemed to be doz ing. The conductor tried in vain to wake him, wbeu the car reached his place of destina tion, and found “his skin wrinkled bis forth shrunken, his turned grey; he had died of old age.” No paper but the Tribune could have got off such a joke as that. The railroad company ought to sue it for libel. ANOTHER DIVORCE CASE is on trial in this city. Emma Hoffman sues for divorce from,Wm. Hoffmau; she charg ing him with adultery within the past five yeara, 'While the defence sets up that in one year after marriage in 1865, the plaintiff committed the same crime herself. Thl9 he condoned and took her back, but she, as is alleged, committed the act again, when be parted from her, went to Indiana and got a SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1865. divorce. Plaintiff denied all the allegations of adultery, and claimed that the Indiana divorce had been obtained by fraud. The case is rather mixed, and it would seem that the best thing each can do is to let the other alone. AGAINST THE LADIES. A decision has been pronounced in a Buf falo police court that ladies are entitled to no more privileges in pubUc conveyances than gentlemen. A conductor who ejected a man from a railroad car for refusing to give up his seat to a lady was fined five dollars. Every body knows this to be legally right, but common courtesy to the fair sex, to let alone gallantry, would induce any gentleman who is not simply a biped without feathers, to give up a seat to a lady, and trust to her po liteness for a satisfactory reply. If all ladies would thank you courteously for a favor, there would not be so much merit, but a good deal more interest in vacating a seat for their benefit. - • > OUR THEATRES have been well patronized the past season as is shown from the Internal Revenue returns. There are twelve theatres (including Bar num’s Museum and the Academy) six min strel or concert hails, two circuses and me nageries, not to say anything of the perhaps three or five hundred free and easy’s, where there is little or no music, but a good deal of acting df a peculiar nature, and very much lager and other drinks. Tbe receipts of the recognised places of amusement varied from $7,277 tc S2BO-342, the largest being tbe great Barnum’s. Counting in the minor shows the money paid by the public for amusement during the last theatrical year was probably two millions of dollars. OUR NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT is getting on swimmingly. The opposition on the part of the volunteers has nearly dis appeared, all the down town companies having declared for the new commissioners. Tbe department will consist ot thirty engines and ten hook and ladder companies. The former will all be steamers, and the old fash ioned hand engines are to be .discarded. There are to be no ho3e carriages of which we formerly had a large number, but the tenders of the steamers are to carry hose enough for all purposes, much mote pioba bly, than heretofore. The apparatus will be drawn by horses, and the strength of the companies is therefore to be reduced to twelve men all told. It is claimed, and doubtless with truth, that a great deal more work can be done by those twelve men, aid ed by steam, than by’ tbe four or five times as many wbo manned tbe hand engines. On the way to a fire the members can ride on tbe engine, and thus reserve- their energies for the scene of conflagration. Anew steam er, tbe first of a number to be ordered from Amoskeag, N. H., has just been put into service, and proved a great success. In a few minutes after tbe bells tisuck for fire the very night after here, she was un derway, steam up, horses attached, to the great astonishment of a crowd who had col lected round the Engine house to see how the thing worked. The engine had been previously tested, and threw a stream through one thousand feet of hose over a building seventy-five feet high, and forty feet beyond. Several other tests proved equally satisfactory. Chief Engineer Decker has been notified that bis services will not be needed after the 18th of August, and that hisjplace will be filled by A. M. Brown, brother of one of tbe fire commissioners. The appropriation asked tor the year, is $600,600 HACKNEY COACHES AND THEIR DRIVERS are daily cursed by New Yorkers and visi tors to the Metropolis more than any other class of people, and deservedly so. Their extortionate rates, uncleanly vehicles and the abusive manner in which the coachies treat their customers, are daily and hourly evils. The law which regulates their charges Is a mere farce. To be sure there is a partial remedy on application at the Mayor’s office, but few can Apare the time, or endure the discomforts which attend a trying on the redress. A fortune is surely open to any one who will estab lish a first class, low priced hack system in this city. Strange enough, it has never been half tried. In other cities a passenger can be carried for twenty-five to fifty cents to almost any part of the t,own. Here the price varies from one dollar (and a very short distance for that) to ten dollars, and even fifteen. It is a crying evil which oar city fathers are powerless to abate, and the only real remedies He in tbe hands of the Legisla ture, and in the purses of some honest citi zens,, who are willing to try the experiment of making a fortune legitimately, risking tlterewitb, perhaps, many a conflict with the scoundrels who infest the city in the garb of hackmen. Quite recently a French man named Dunscombe has commenced running coupes from Union Square to any part of the city below 42d street for fifty cents a passage. Tbe vehicles are genteel ip appearance, and each is drawn by one horse, and occommodates two persons. Un fortunately* be has but four carriages, which arc insufficient for tbe purpose. They earn $lO to sl2 daily, and the proprietor is so well satisfied witTi the results of his labor that he will soon have nine vehicles and horses. He is on the road to success. Let him persevere, and he will deserve and re ceive the well wishes and pecuniary assist ance of thousands. A GREAT CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL. Following the example of Archbishop Hughes, Bishop Laughlin of Brooklyn has moved for a great church * edifice for the Catholics of that city.. The 6ite has been choseu. It is a plot of high ground on Cler mont and Lafayette Avenues, and commands a fine view of the lively region with which it is surrounded. The work of preparing a foundation * has already commenced. The architectural style of the building has hot yet beeu determined. By the way, the im mense Cathedral of wbicli the late Arch bishop laid the corner stone is not progress ing very rapidly—in fact for all we can see it has not advanced a bit in a year. It is lo rated bn the Filth Avenue, and if it is ever finished trill be a great' ornament to even that pretentious portion of New York. Washington, Aug. 4.

[From the Augusta Constitutionalist.] Whites and Blacks. In an article ot some month ago upon the relative proportions of the black and white elements of the population. North and South, some statistics were given, showing that in New York the proportion was eighteen blacks to'tbe thousand whites; in Massachu setts, eight to tbe thousand; in Pennsylvania, twenty-one. These figures were compiled from the census of 1850, the latest then ob tainable. but since that time ’some statistics have fallen in our possession which exhibit some interesting facts upon a portion of ibe general subject then treated of In Georgia, in 1850, it was shown that to every thousand whites were seven hundred and thirty-one blacks, and would it not have swollen Ba r article to inconvenient length, a like very large ratio might have been shown to exist in all the others Southern States. What pro portion the census of 1860 shows the black bears to the white population, in the North, we cannot at present say, but in some ex tracts from that document, found in an ex change, a deal of curious information is to be found. Thus, in 1860, it appears that in the eleven States ot Alabama, Florida, Aikansas, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, > Mis sissippi, North Carolina, Texas, Maryland and Virginia, there were eight hundred and fifty-seven counties, in two hundred and ninety-eight of which the black population exceeded the white, from a simple majority to a preponderance in some eases of five hundred per cent. In some of tbe States the number of counties in which tbe blacks preponderate, exceeded those in which the whites had a majority—Louisiana having thirty-three out oi' her forty-eight parishes with tbe blacks in excess ; South Carolina having twenty black districts to ten white ; and Mississippi thirty-one counties black to twenty-nine white. In the remaining States the disparity was not so great, Arkansas having only six black to forty-three white counties ; Alabama, twenty to thirty-two ; Florida, six to twenty; North Carolina, twenty-six to sixty-seven; Texas, sixty tbree to one hundred and thirty-eight; Maryland, six to seventeen ; Virginia, forty four to uue hundred aud four ; and Georgia, forty-three to eighty-nine, though in soma ot these black counties, the nr»- portion was fully five to one oTTEe white. These figures, it will be remembered, are those of the census of 1860, and cannot be regarded us holding good now, since for four years a violent war has raged throughout the South, aud tbe country is within a half decade of the proper time of taking another census—that of 1870. But, as furnishing valuable statistical data and food fqr no little reflection, they are of considerable interest. Thus, in looking at the figures as given in tbe cases of Maryland, of Virginia, and of Arkansas, it very naturally occurs that tbe black population there must have suffered a very great depletion, many thousands of the negroes, when slavery existed, having been sent to what were deemed the securer re gions of the South; many more having en listed in the negro regiments; or having fled to the Northern States. Subject thus to a triple drain, of fugitives North, lefugees South, and enlisted at home, it would not be surprising to find that the fifty-six counties of Arkansas, Maryland and Virginia whore the blacks preponderated out of tbe two hundred and twenty-one contained in those States, haVe, in great measure, ceased to exhibit now tbe disproportion shown by the census of 1860. - E converse, in the States further South—in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Missis sippi and Florida—it would be but reasonable to suppose that the black population to-day is very largely over '.vhat it was in 1860. Comparatively few enlistments, save on the coast of Soulh Carolina and the river banks of Louisiana, have been made; there has been no running off of negroes to savo them, when slaves; no escaping to the.Npith worth speaking of. The natuial increase of the ne groes—especially rapid under their former circumstances—has been uninterrupted, and an immense influx of refugees has been.pour ed in from tbe border States. On tbe white male population, furthermore, of the cotton States, a very serious drain has been made by the casualties of war—the contest thus seem ing to augment the number of blacks through out the extreme south, by some of those' same causes that depleted the white popula tion. How far, in the years to elapse before the taking of the next census, peace may restore ihe preponderance of the white race, or how their new status may affect the increase of the blacks, are questions of a most interest ing nature, but depending on too many con tingencies to admit of anything more practi cal than theorizing. Time alone can solve the problem, but the solution it muy give will not be the least interesting ot those reve lations the ncjl few years have in store. Victor Euanckl and the Florentine Priests.— lt has long been the custom in Florence to stretch awnings from the first floor windows of the various houses, so as to cover the street and allow the procession of tlfe Corpus Domini to pa9B without being in commoded by the heat. These awnings were a groat expense and a great nuisance to the inhabitants, inasmuch a9 they seriously ob structed the free circulation of air for many days together. Accordingly strong repre sentations were made to the municipality, and this year the awnings were prfthlbited. The clergy were of course extremely angry, and finding remonstrance with the syndicate perfectly unavailing, they applied to the King. “How long will the procession be in defiling?” asked Ills Majesty. “Nearly two hours,” was the answer, “and during all that time our cannons, friars and brotherhoods will be exposed." The petitioner wag not al lowed to go any further. The King inter rupted bim by saying, with an air of bonhomie, “It was just such weather at San Martino and Solferino—rather hot; we were twelve hours in it, and.l .don’t remember that any body came to hold napkins oter our heeds. ” With tbis tbe King-twraed *way -end began to talk, with tbe' officers around bim; bat the story hey got about, and is repeated with great glee by «U but tbe ‘‘parti prat re."
