THE WAR.
Major Gkshral Ambrose Evbrett Burnside
assumed command of our,Grand Army in Virginia
yesterday in a neat and modest address, wbioh con
tains little else but'an expression'of his approoia
tion of the responsibilities of the trust, the love he
bears for his country, her brave defenders, and for
his late commander. Burnside is a man of fine figure,
with asharp, expressive eye, a large forehead, and
well-moulded features. Ho creates an impression
among troops wherever he goes, and they generally
love him for his unassuming manners, well-known
courage, and dashing aotion. General Burnside
has always been one of General Model an’s wannest
friends and moat ardent admirers; his faith in the
late oommander-in-ehief was never stronger than
when he joined him and fought under him in Mary
land, and for this reason ho has refused more than
onoe to take command of the Army of the Poto
mao. Although we have published the outline
Of his life In The Press, his assumption of the
oommand of our largest army will warrant us in
reproducing the following brief biography. He
was born in Liberty, a small town in Union county,
Indiana, May 23,1824. He entered, the Military
Academy in 1842, and graduated Ho. 18 in a class
Of thirty-eijht, in 1547, taking brevet rank and
pay of a seoond lieutenant in the 2d U. S. Artille
ry. September, 1847, Lieut. Burnside was promot
ed to a full second lieutenancy in Company C, 3d
Artillery, since rendered famous as Bragg’s Bat
tery,” Bragg himself being then Captain of it.
With this battery, Lieutenant Burnside march
ed,. in General Patterson’s division, to tho
oily of Mexico, and remained there until the
close of the Mexican war. After this he
served with his company in New Mexico, where he
was distinguished in encounters with the Apache
Indians, being complimented in general orders.
On the I2lh of December, 1851, he was promoted
to a first lieutenancy, in the room of an officer who
was oashieted. When tho present Lieut. Col. Jas. D.
Graham, of the Corps of TopographicalEugineere,
was appointed United States Astronomer in the
joint commission to settle the frontier lines of the
United States and Mexico, Lt. Burnside was chosen
to fill the office of quartermaster, and in this
capacity he convoyed despatches from Col. Gra
ham to President Fillmore, travelling twelve hun
dred miles across the plaids in seventeen days,
•with an escort of only throe men. After serving
a short time at Fort Adams, Newport harbor, Lieut.
Burnside resigned, in 1853. After his resignation,
he turned his attention to tho manufacture of a
breech-loading rifle of his own invention, known as
the “ Burnside rifie,” a project which resulted in
considoiablo pecuniary loss. General Burnside
then sold h'S establishment to his brother-in-law,
who has supplied quite a number of the Burnside |
rifie3 to the present Administration. Subsequently !
to this, he was, with General McClellan, connected
with the Illinois Central Railroad, holding the
position of president of the land office depart
ment! While residing at Bristol, Rhode Island,
he married M’ss Bishop, of Providence, and , re
moved with her to Chicago, upon being appointed
to the Illinois Central. At the outbreak of the ro
beUiogj at the request of Gov. Sprague, he assumed
ihe.coloneloy of the Ist Rhode Island volunteers.
This regiment did good service in the first battle
of Bull Run, its colonel acting as brigadier general
of the second brigade, the seoond division. After
this be was appointed brigadier general of volun
teers, his commission being dated 6th August,
1861. Of the celebrated “Burnside Expedition” to
North Carolina, nothing need be said. At the bat
tle of Antietam, in September last, General Burn
side’s corps d’armee performed a highly important
• part. It took the mam road to Sharpiburg, on the
left, ana encountered the most determined opposi
tion in successfully executing its part of the gene
ral plan of the battle. General Burnsido had to
cross tho bridge over the Antietam creek, and dis
lodge the enemy, who were in strong force and
position on the opposite side. Twice his army
made an attempt to cross, and twice was it repulsed,
With heavy loss, but the third attack, led by the
Generalin person, was successful, and the position
was won, though at a great sacrifice of life.
Beauregard will soon have to defend the forts
and city which he took from a brave commander
and an imbecile Executive. How differentlydo the
powers act that now hold sway in the South ! Non
combatants are peremptorily ordered to leave the
doomed city of Charleston on the eve of, its attack
by the United States forees, and those who are too
poor to cart themselves off will be hurried away by
military authority. Bellicose Beauregard ques
tions the right of the Northern “ Abolitionists,” as
he calls all of us, to abolish slavery; hut he has no
conscientious scruples when ho tells the people of a
; considerable Southern city to leave it, “for, be
fore he would allow the ruthless invaders to occupy
its sacred precincts, he would lay Charleston in
ashes.” So, then, the city of the birth of Se
cession is incapable of defence against our iron
clads. The forte and older defences “to which
only his genius could give existence”—perfectly
impregnable, may not now be trusted. The truth
is, the rebels are about to “strain a point” again,
as they did a while since. They expect to lose
certain points on the coast this winter. These they
will give up to our troops as reluotaht'y as circum
stances will admit, while they launch their heaviest
army successively against both wings of ours about
Richmond. Iff thiß hope, the rebel leaders pro
pose to prolong the rebellion, but we opine that
they will fail in their “magnificent strategy.” Our
army rests not now until the rebellion is crushed.
And this result will soon he accomplished, if the
people will but lay away political, or more pro
perly partisan, issues and petty spites, and sup
port the great head of the Government in doing its
tremendous duty henceforth
England and the Moral Law.
Tlio world lias many shrines at which it
swings its various incense.. Ambition, radiat
ing alluring, but half-lurid, gleams, like some
grotesquely-carved, vaguely-lit altar amid the
. mystic glooms of an Egyptian festival, looks
down on votaiies that kneel in thousands.
Pride, wealth, power, honor, birth, courage,
mind—each has a temple reared for its special
worship, and gathers its devotees from every
land, and rank, and condition. But many as
are the shrines where Passion and Desire
pour their devotions, all the while doing hom
age to themselves, there is but one temple for
tbe whole world, but one pulpit whence issues
a voice for all peoples., Galilee has aio beauty
of walls, or nave, or transept, yet it wins a
pilgrimage of souls greater than the state
liest cathedral; the mountain whence the
Anointed spoke his first compand of inspired
wisdom is Eameless, but its summit is bathed
"in an Eternal light, and two hundred cen.
furies have looked to it as to the greatest
moral landmark. How, its words penetrate
into every recess of life! How they sound
out, clear and full, above even the present fu
rious turmoil of parties, and prejudices, and
principles! And how forgetfulness or dis
regard of them had plunged us into all these
horrors! If we had remembered, No man
can serve twp masters,” would we have en
deavored to worship Liberty in a prayer that
began and ended with an invocation of Slavery ?
If we bad held aloft as our motto, “Ye are the
light of the world,” would we now be quench
ing our bequeathed torch in fraternal blood?
Or, to take a more special illustration, would
not the fullest opportunities be granted us by
other nations to work out a fair result of our
•difficulties, if cupidity did not intervene,
and that-very anxious avarice condemned in,
“Take no thought for the morrow, saying,
'■wherewithal shall wo bo clothed.”
It is no palliation of our Offence to adduce
"the committal of a like offence by some other
people; but we have been preached to so
often by England, we have been found such
fault with on the score of morality, that it is
conformable to our sense of justice to retort a
like accusation. Having exhausted the vo
■cabulary of common abuse and the arguments
fashioned by human ingenuity out of malice,
the English press is now resorting to funda
snental ethics in tho effort to bring us to a
■sense of our duty and their Interests. We
admit the excellence of the criterion as well
as the fairness of the adverse judgments de
duced therefrom; we do deserve condemna
tion. But we have a choice of judges; if a
" decision must be made against us, we prefer
to have it givep by whiter ermine than Britain
can show; or, if these moral fdlminatibns are
to be hurled at us, we claim onr right to ap
peal to the same law and demonstrate an equal'
transgression on the part of our opponent.
We have just now frankly confessed the
flagrant violations of the moral law that have,
been made by this but there is a text
from this same Sermon on tho Mount that we
quote to England in return : « And why take
ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies
of the field ; they toil not, neither do they
spin.” In view of her insatiable, cotton ra
pacity, sir-violent that it induces her to forget
every law of common honesty—to say nothing
of courtesy and the finer humanitarian rela
tions—and so endless as to make her abroga
tion of international decency a chronic cancer
upon the body politic of the whole world; in
view of all the partisan pleading, the under
hand mercantile wire-pulling, the diplo
matic trickery, the open violation of neu
trality, and the indirect piracy used to ob
tain cotton, we recommend the , foregoing
quotation to England’s attentive considera
tion. It will, indeed, he an amusing Illustra
tion in humanity’s jeßt-book—that which ex
hibits John Bull as leaving his beef and ale to
contemplate the lilies of the field. But it is
better to be the subject of the world’s laugh
ter than the /world’s scorn; with beef, Bull
may desert .bile, and make an exchange of
lilies for libels. Let him not ask about the
wearing staple of the flowers, nor rush to them
to find a substitute for cotton; let him only so
connect them as to make a garment with which
to hide the naked hideousness of his moral de
formity. America, though actuated by disgust
more than by filial reverence, will be glad to
step backwards to throw the covering over
her: parent.
At any Tate, let us hear ho more of the moral
law from England. It is too glorious to be
degraded into party purposes. Its altar-flames
must be kept burning by the oil of kind feel
ings and pure intentions. It must not be
lowered to the level of the shrines of Passion
and Desire. The nameless mountain shall
still he encircled with its halo of purity and
truth, that the nations may know how to direct
their courses, and wo have a hope above these
gloomy clouds.
What Did Gladstone Mean 1
Mr. Gladstone evidently holds by the old
proverb, “ Second thoughts are best.”/ He
has revised and corrected his Newcastle
speech, so as to make it as much non-com
mittal as possible, and the Londonderry
Sentinel, a very well-conducted'lrish paper,
gives the following resume as conveying its
leading points:
“ He stated distinctly that England had' no rea
son to desire the disruption of the Union. He ex ;
cased the North for its partial connection with
slavery. Formerly, he said, the slave-owners
made the laws, and the Federal Government was
obliged to enforce them. We can conceive a state
of separation which would be more opposed to
slavery than this. If the Northern States were
completely free, and slavery were limited to the
Southern States/ without the possibility of exten
sion, it would be preferable to the old arrangement
as it stood. - That arrangement, however, is not
likely to be restored. Whether the North succeed
in re-establishing the Union, or the South succeed
in.gaining independence, the changes promise to
be such that slavery will soon disappear. Mr.
Gladstone expressed distinctly his private ooiuion
that it was for the interest of England if the Union
had continued: He expressed his approval of the
neutrality wbioh is now pursued by the British Go
vernment. The speech is generally considered to
bathe precursor of the recognition of the Sjuthorn
States, but the praise of neutrality appears to be
inconsistent with this. The right honorable gen
tleman did not say that the time had coma when
neutrality should cease. Instead of expressing
strong sympathy on behalf of the South, he made
an appeal on behalf of the North, aiiff referred to
the good reception they had given the Prince of
Wales. He appears, indeed, to expect separation,
as many others do who watch the progress of events.
It is possible to expect separation as a fact, with
out desiring it, or oherishing any strong sympathy
one way or other. Whether the North conquer
the South or not, there is so much bitterness b:-
tween the parties that a real union appears to be
next to iuqossible.”
This modification, however, did hot satisfy
the public—perhaps it failed to satisfy Pal
merston, whose own London organ, the
Globe, handled Mr. Gladstone pretty smartly,
in the following significant words :
“ If Mr. Gladstone had any Cabinet secret to
keep as. to the American conflict, make no
doubt that he would have kept it strictly and
honorably. Our inference from his having placed
no special guard on his expressions at Newcastle i 3
that he was‘shnplj_ takiDg the license which public
men generally "have "Men tailing, or expruarfag Uls
own sense of the disruption between North and
South. Perhaps, as a Cabinet Minister, it might
have been better that he should-have considered
more carefully beforehand what might he in
ferred from his words, as - well as what he
directly meant to express ; but in Mr. Gladstone
the statesman cannot always keep down, the great
memberofParliament. ”
This rap on the knuckles must have an
noyed Mr. Glabstone mere than a grave re
proof from the Premier, for it not only con
veys censure, but intimates ’ that the after
dinner orator was verbose and confused. For
a public speaker who does not make Ms mean
ing clear' might better not exhibit his inca
pacity. Mr. Gladstone’s - oratory is long
winded, and as Mrs. Malaprop angrily repu
diated any “dispersion ot her parts of speech,”
so the rhetorical and metaphysical Chancellor
of the Exchequer must be indignant at Pal
merston’slow estimate of his eloquence.
At last, Mr. Gladstone has found it neces
sary, in a letter from his private secretary to
some inquiring Manchester man, to explain
wbathe 'did say and mean, viz: that it was
useless lor the North to struggle with the
South aud that “ the Confederation which has
been formed under Mr. Jefferson Davis has
shown itself to be sufficiently supplied with
the elements which make a nation, and with
the will and power to defend its independent
existence.” What he did say at Newcastle
•was much "more decided than this, namely
that Jefferson Davis had made the South “ a
great nation.” Further, Mr. Gladstone, per
his private secretary, confusedly declares
that whereas some parts of Ms Newcastle
speech neutralize other parts, he cannot be
responsible for the inferences, pro or con,
which people may draw from his cold ver
bosity. This Gladstone letter, which we pub
lished yesterday, is a curious maze of high
sounding words, conveying no certain idea.
Truly did the poet say,
“Your true bo meaning puzzles more than wit,”
Greek Revolution of 1863.
Among the latest news from Europe is the
not unexpected intelligence that a partial in
surrection in Greece had become general;' that
King Otho had abdicated in favor of one of
bis brothers (either Luitpolb or Adalbert) 1 ;
that a provisional government, with Prince
Maurocordato as President, had been estab- ,
lished; and that the Bavarian dynasty had
been deposed. Six months ago, in these co
lumns, we predicted, from the tendency of
events and policy in Greece, that the deposi
tion of Otho I. waa inevitable.
In 1821; Greece revolted from Tuikish mis
■ rnle, and declared its independence. After a
prolonged contest, the Sultan acknowledged
the nationality of Greece, in 1829. The crown
would probably have been offered to Lord By
box, wlio threw bis fortune and his life into
the contest soon after it commenced, but pre
maturely died, eariy in 1824. To conciliate Eng
land, Prince Leopold, son-in-law of George
IT., was offered the sovereignty of Greece,
which he prudently declined, finally accept
ing that of Belgium. In 1882, Prince Orno, a
ad of 17, son of King Lours of Bavaria, was
accepted as King of Greece, and commenced
bis reign by abjuring the Catholic, and
adopting, the Greek religion. On his ma
jority in June, 1885, he began to govern with
out a regency, and married a German princess
in 1886—one of the race of strong-minded
women, whose evil counsel led him for years
to resist granting a promised constitution to
the country which adopted him, and which he
finally did grant, on the spur of a revolution,
in 1843. Ever since, the purpose of this royal
couple has been to render the constitution a
dead letter; to give places, emoluments, and
patronage to German followers, instead of
to well-qualified Greeks; to treat with dis
favor and disrespect the European Powers
by whose material aid Ms kingdom had been
established. The rapacity of the German
followers of the Court has exhausted the
public treasury, and of the national debt the
interest has remained unpaid for years.
We have not yet ascertained the immediate
cause of the new revolution, which has been
•some time expected, and know not, therefore;
what form of government may be adopted.
Prince Alexander Maurocordato, now in
his seventy-second year, is; one of the most
eminent of Greek publicists. The friend of
Byron, with whom be participated in fee
! struggle for national independence, he has
• frequently held high official place, under the
' regency and personal government of King
j Otho, and has been repeatedly elected to a
. seat in tho Greek Parliament; ho has suc
cessively been ambassador to Munich, Lon
don, and Paris. Since 1854, when he finally
retired from the cabinet with his principal
, colleagues, he has been the parliamentary
• leader of fee popular opposition. Forty years
ago, Lord Byron declared that whenever
Greece became a nation, Prince Maubooor
dato was the person who should be placed
upon its throne. It is not very probable that
the great European Powers, which have long
been hopeless ef Greece, under Bavarian mis
rule, will trouble themselves to interfere, on
account of the new revolution.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
"Washington, Nov. 10,1862.
During the recent political contests, the De
mocratic leaders were foremost in. complaining
.that, the' war had been weakly and inefficiently
prosecuted, and this judgment, together with
the objections of many of the Republicans,
undoubtedly contributed largely to the victo
ries of the so-called Democracy. The motive
of the change in the command of the Army of
the Potomac was undoubtedly to respond to
the general demand for more active o pe
rations in that department; and when
military investigations came to sanction
the popular wish, the President could not
withhold his approval of the recommenda
tion of the military authorities. General Hal
leck’s letter of the 28th of October, and the
despatch of Gen. McClellan of the 224 of the
same month, furnish the military explanation
of the change alluded to. In view of these
plain facts, it would be absurd to suppose that
the Administration can be directly or indirectly
censured for its action of Saturday last; and it
is to be hope’d that we shafi have a more impar
tial and less party judgment on this dosion,
than might have been the case a month ago.
In ibis fearful death-struggle, when men of all
parties in the loyal States are looking forward
to a short and decisive campaign; when many
other commanders in the army and navy have
been superseded to give way to others, no
one general should object if he is brought
under a rule which has been so sternly ap
plied to others. The national: hears beat
quickly after the battle of Antietam, aud
millions who pleaded and prayed for a speedy
end of the war looked to other victories as
the sequel of / that. The dread of winter
quarters, and the horrors of a long winter
campaign, served to increase and to intensify
this universal feeling. The gloomy aspect of
our finances, which rise or fall as our armies
and navies win or lose ; the dark and defiant
brows of our foreign foes, and, above
all, the notoriously weak and weakening,
condition of the rebels themselves—made
our whole people of one mind and heart
that the opportunity to strike the enemy in
the Potomac Department at hand, and
must not he allowed to pass. lathis earnest
expectation and demand all preferences for!
individuals were merged and forgotten. It was
a prayer for deliverance coming from all men,
and the Executive could not be deal to it, and
be true to his obligations to his country. It
is of course unnecessary to say that President
Lincoln was not actuated by any personal or
pariv feeling. His worst maligners cannot,
and I do not believe they will, make tbisaccu
sation, With all the facts before them and the
people.
lam loth to believe, now, when the passions
excited by the elections have subsided, that
any of the influential politicians and generals
will attempt to make capital out of the change
in the command of the Array of the Potomac.
Most of the Opposition politicians and papers,
as I have said, have complained of the delay
in that department. Let us see whether they
are willing to await the consequences, _or are
determined to renew a factious war upon the
Administration. Occasional.

RICHMOND WHIG ON THE NORTHERN ELECTIONS.
The Richmond Whig, Nov. 8, speaking ef the recent
Northern elections, says they show plainly that the tide
sets alt one way, and against Abraham Lincoln and Ms
rampant war party. If the electioneering asseverations
and appeals of this party could he credited, this success
of the Democrats is about nitml to a declaration of psaoe.
But they ar e not to be credited, and we are not permitted
toiake that comfort to onr bosoms. We have reason to
hope, though, that wish a Democratic Congress and a
Republican Administration, regarding eari other as
men who are iu doubt, hut that to-morrow they may be
cutting each other's throatß, the war will not be set for
ward any. As .Lincoln and bis party brought on the
war, and have conducted it themselves, the people have
meant by this remarkable revolution to declare not only
a deep dissatisfaction, but to decree that important
changes shall be made. And having found out their
strength, and having less fear of the Baatile before their
eyes, we may expect that the opposition will now speak
their sentiments with a boldness they have not dared to
venture before.

Harrisburg, Nov 10 —The difficulty with regard to
the drafted men, which has recently threatened to entail
serious const qnencce, has been satisfactorily arranged.
The iate order of the War Department which prevented
these men from organizing into companies and regiments
in accordance with the laws of the State and the presort,
tied regulations, has, through the instrumentality of Gov
Curtin, been revoked. He Btrongly protested against
the manifest injustice of this order.
-Thousands are now. returning to their various com
mauds, who had either deeerted or refused to assemble
while under the impression that they were to be forced
in'o old regiments, and be required to serve longer than
the time for wbiob they were drafted.
The men are now content and happy and organizing
rapidly.
The Governor is exercising tho most commendable care
in tho selection of field officers for regiments composed of
drafted men. We understand that no man will be com
missioned io a field position who haa-not had one year’s
experience in the field. Applications nnder other cir
cumstances will prove futile.

The Southern Army Shoeless!
DAVIS AND HIS CABINET DENOUNCED.
Tbous&sds of Rebel Soldiers Barefoot
in the Snow!
Shoes for the Army
[From the Ttichmond Whig of Saturday.]
A correspondent, in a brief note whioh we pub
lish this morning, makes a practical appeal to the huma
nity and patriotism of the people of Blchmond in behalf
of our.sheelees soldiers. This.&ppeal is power/uilF rein
forced by the snow storm of yesteriay, and the actual
setting in of winter; v
It is terrible to think that bnndreds, nay thousands of
our brave troops—our sons and brothers and friends,
who are suffering tbat we may be comfortable, are in
tbis bitter weather without the comlorts of negroes—of
paupers, or even of convicts in the peniteo tiary—-are
literally barefooted in the snow.' /
Shame, shame on those who have failed to prevent
this, and on those who now permit it ! Better‘that the
Pix-pident arid his Cabinet, his quartermaster general
and all their aids should, walk these icy streets with
naked feet till spline, than that onr noble army should
be iu the condition in whioh this blattol winter finds
them. The §uyepiae!it tg cruelty, ciiminatly culpable
in this Blitter; -but there IB something more important
and pressing for the people now’to do than sit in judg
ment on delinquent, official!, and that is to do what
they can to supply the negleotS of their pubiio agents,
Our correspondent euggoets a convenient and ready
mode by which at lees’,; partial relief can be afforded.
We implore aii who have it in their power to adopt bis
suggestion. This is no false alarm—no sensation para
giaph. The condition of tho army is heartrending. The
people must come to tbs rescue, Min who have fraght
and Buffered as they have done must not be neglected by
those who stay at home to make money and keep snug
■ and warm. The Government cannot be frosted. It bat
ho forethought, or is entirely indifferent to the oondition
/of the men who are periling end enduring everything
; tbatthe country may be rescued and male free.
- Het each citizen resolve, the moment he reads this, to
furnish one or more pairs of shoes, or, if they cannot bo
had, something else that will serve to shield a soldier
from snffcring. If yen haven’t it, buy it, no matter at
wbat price, il you can pay for it; for it is better to fill
the pockets of the horse leeches and blood-suckers who
manufacture or sell shoes and clothing than that this dis:
graceful condition of things shruld continue an hjur.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Destruction of the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum.
About 2# o’clock Sunday morning a fire broke but in
the extensive building on Bedford avenue, between Wil
loughby and Be Kalb avenuesl Brooklyn, occupied S3j,n
Asylum for Koman Catholic orphan' boys, and resulted
in its complete destruction, together with tho loss of two
lives, The structure is of brick, 150 feet frontbylOO in
depth, and five stories in height ■ The grounds attached
comprise fourteen Jots, aid extend from Bedford ave
nue to Spencer street, affording ampin space for ex
ercise in fine'weather. ’About 160 feet In the rear
is a wooden abed, about 30 by 76'feot 'in extent,
which is detijtned for a play house in inclement weather.
The main building is divided into apartments for the
accomnu dation of the superintendents and assistants,
and conveniences are provided for three hundred and
.fifty children. - The second, third, and fourth floors were
used as sleejing apartments Heat was furnished by
mesas, of furnaces, two of which were located in the
basement under the north wing, and two under the south
wing. The main entrances in front and rear of the cen
tro building, the halls and stairways, ware all of wide
dimensions, and to this feature, together. with the pre
sence of mind and tho activity displayed by those‘in
charge, it is mainly owing that the conflagration did not
remit more disastrously; for, as near as could be ascer
tained, two children only, out of two hundred and forty
eight, lost their lives.
The fire was caused by tho overheating of a flue
leading from one of the furnaces or the south wing.
The floors and other wood wotk inside being of pitch
pine ignited with great rapidity, and the flames speedily
extended upward until the whole was enveloped. ■
The teachers were' aroused from their slumbers by one
of the lady assistants, and immediately proceeded to save
the children. In this they were fortunately moat suc
bcßßful, having in a very short time thereafter, con
ducted them to the play-house. It was supposed at the
time that no one was missing, and the police and 1 firemen
were bo informed,*; The efforts to suppress the flames
were then redoubled, but without avail, and the firemen'
were compelled to leave the building to its fate.
Some two hours thereafter Mr. James Gill, of Hose
Company No-18, discovered the crisped body of a child
on one of the upper floors, and Messrs. Brady, of Bngiue
No. 9, and Waldron, Start, and Oalyer, of Trnok No. 3,
found another* and conveyed them to the Ninth-ward
Btaiion-houae. * The children had doubtless become be
wildered, and- ascendedrioitbe upper floors, iosioad of
comirg down stairs Nearly all the books and papers were
consumed. A record of the names of the children was
saved, and, on calling the roll, all answered but* two,
named Michael Carrick and Daniel McMann.
At tho time of the fire the wind was blowing strongly
from the northwest, and tfce rain was falling in torrents.
The: ground was covered .with saow and slush, and
through this the children were compelled to wade, bare
foot and in their night. ciothes,‘to the play-house ou Spen
cer street, which proved a: temporary place of refuge
from tho elements. - Subsequently they were oonduoted
to the neighboring residences, and everything possible
was done (with one exception) by all to relieve the little
ones of their sufferings.
In consequence of the early hour add the disagreeable
state of the weather, comparatively few citizens gathered ’
about the acono of •disaster. The duty of Baving the In
mate SjStberefore, devolved almost exclusively npon the
superintendent and his assistants.
The President ef the Brooklyn City, Bailroad Com
pany placedr the cars om the several routes, as well as
all the old stages, at tho disposer of the officers of the
institution.;. The children having all been provided with
Shoes by Mr. McNally, who keeps a store in Myrtle aye
hue, near Bedford, were collected together and,conveyed
to tie Bomsn Catholic Girls’ Orphan Asylum in Con
gress street, where they wDl.be provided for untii'other
arrangements can be mada.
The Bomau .Catholic Orphan Asylum .for Boys was
erected in 1866, at a cast of 826.060.- Last year some
necessary improvements- were made, at an expense of
85.000 Tbe loss, insisding contents, amounts to about
885 000, upon which there is an insurance of *16,800 in ,
the Montiuk, Lafaj ette, Firemen’s, Mechanical Brook
lyn, and Nassau Companies.
The institutioia is in ohargs of the Homan Catholic Or
phan Asylnm Association of-the city of Brooklyn, of
which tbe Bight Bev. Bishop Lsaghiin is President., It
is supported by contributions, collected in the different
c'.t; Oatbobc cburchc s. Those in immediate charge are
Mr. Tbouioa Brady, priottpal; Alexander J. Boonay,
James P. Bany, Walter Hoyle, and fourteen female as
sistants—Sisters <f M«by.
Tb» fact that the building was on fire was discovered
ly a Utils boy, seven yews of ago, who Is a!ch wi%in
tmiiittent fuver. He went to Hie bedside of one of ths
Sisters, and told her he could not sleep, as he was sure
there was fire somewhere; fibs ordered him.hook te bed,
and then took the. precaution of looking out into the hall,
and was made aware of the fact that but little time re
mained to save the inmates. Every one was aroused, and
all, with.two exceptions, saved. ■ The faro&ces and fines
in the building had recently been introduced, and Satur
day last fire was used for the first time It In, therefore,
evident tbat there was soma defect In the line* Coroner
Morris will hold an inquest on the bodies to day. The
names of the unfortunate victims of this catastrophe are
Michael Osrriefi and Daniel McMann.
The Association having in ohargo' the Asylum held a
meeting at St. James’ Cathedral, in lay street, yesterday
afternoon. F. G. Turner,’ Esq., vice president, occupied
the chair. The object was stated.to be to mako arrange
ments for obtaining contributions, and to take other mt»-
snres with the view of collecting money to rebuild rhe
structure. A committee of five ,was. appointed to'-make
arrangements for a public lecture at the Academy of
Music, and to solicit Bichard O’Gorman, Esq., to deUvor
said lecture. Resolutions requesting each member of ths
Society to solicit subscriptions were passed,; A vote of
thanks was tendered to the Brooklyn City Railroad Com
pany for furnishing conveyances, and for offers of money
for the relief of the children, after which the meeting ad
journed. It .is understood that the children-will be
transferred to the convent, corner or Willoughby and
Olasson avenues, in a day or two.—JV. F Times .

“If you are ter the Union, and think it oan be pre

They have made war upon you, because they saspected
that you would yield nothing more to them; are you to
yield more under compulsion of the war, or because you
can neither conquer the South or yet subsist as an inde
pendent State without her 1 If you love slavery and
wish to continue it, and if you think you can build up
with honor a restored and united Republic by humbling
yourself to the South, I can only express my surprise at
the dresm which possesses fou. You may separate, or
you may fight out this contest and win, but to leave the
slave still a slave’ will expose you to the contempt of the
civilized world, I applaud: the proclamation of the
President, as does every msn in Europe who is not a foe
to freedom, or moved by base hostility to the American
Bepublio because if is a Republic, and because it is

to oa as it did on Sunday morning when men had time to
reflect and make up their minds dispassionately con
cerning the effect on money and stock circles, was, ws
consider, a very fortunate circumstance. The gold mar
ket was certainly stronger to-day than usual, and an ad

light In amount at rates ranging from 23-to 30 prem.,
principally at the lesser figure.- The oldißc-mand notes
