EDITOR PATRIOT ARD UNION :-L-Dtar Sir : It seems to be a " teas up," as they say, whe-' ther we are to•witness a renewal of the deplo rablis scenes of loot Week or not, Were I in the. interest, of an administration journal I might be able to refer to the probabilities of the near - future, with more precision—for I might then know whether the GovernMent is or is nOt,atill bent upon ite original purpose of inciting a popular outbreak in this city for the sake of the pretext which it would afford for prooleiming the metropolis under martial law. The object of a conscription' now is plainly a. political and not a military one. Could fifteen thousand Detnooratie votes be removed to the seat of war, and could military despotism be freely exercised over us, there is no question but _that, the shoddy _party could control the State next fall , and ,a year fromthat time. This is fully understood, and I think Governor Seymour will show adroitness enough to b),,eit the outrageous-game, no matter how 'often it may be attempted. The Organization for re listance to the draft was, as nothing to the organization to , incite a • riot, planned and per fected by the Republican leaders here and in Washington. -Do not fear, however, but- that New York Democracy can.outgeneral its oppo nents. It is 'hardly probable that the Cabinet will permit a 'rupture to take place between itself and Gov. Seymour, as the foot is too well understood that such a state of airfare would lead to a civil strife of equal (if riot superior) proportions with the rebellion wit?: New Jer sey will fight the administration armies aide by side with New York troops'-at fire . minutes notice; so soon as the military 'power of the central government shall be exerted. over--her citizens instead of that rightfully . belonging to her own soverei g nty. -In-rorcmg-rire-istme oI State rights *the Abolitionists have exposed their policy too soon. - I caonot believe that the draft will be seriously attemptitd again in this section—for any child knows that it must lead to a state of things analagouif to that - Of the French Revolution. Would, that - the - coming year had passed ! It is full of doubt and dread forebOding. The turn in affairs, it strikes me, has sealed the fate of the war for the Union. - From this out the 11. 8. titmice will not, can not be kept to their maximum strength—the good will of the loyal Democracy is lost, for the prosecution of a war prostitute& to the basest political ends. The Scouth will be recognized before Mr. Lincoln 'quits office, on the pretext that the opposition refused to sup ply men and money. I mean recognized by the United States Government. The failure-of the war will be charged directly upon the party who have so 'far don/ all the hard fight ing and won all tbe victories. The next Fre iidential election- bids fair to be a bloody one I hope you see a better time coming, but I confess that I do not. With wishes for the welfare of yourself and able journal, and kind regards, I am, sir, yours faithfully, P. P. N. . , Purposes of the Administration. To the Editor of -the World : Stu : There are some penile who uncharita. bly, although with seeming honesty, consider that the Government is courting resistance to its.otlieers charged with the enforcement of the draft; that a military campaign against arival political party is about opening; that New. York, and not Virginia. is to constitute the seat of war for the next three or four months ; that Meade's uplifted sword was purposely stayed from descending upon the - head of the bold rebel Lee, inasmuch as his (Lee's), certain de feat and possible Surrender would hare roil dered.coascription superfluous and ridiculous. That General Meade is to be relieved of his command, and that under another and less vic torious and honored a leader, the brave old army of the-Potomac is to be marched froni the field, placed in garrisons about the Empire city and State, and converted from corps -of heroic soldiers into squads of kidnapping police. That Massachusetts is expected to furnish vol- Unteers to help enforce the draft here. That " crushing the rebellion" is played • out at Washington.„ and, for variety, the crushing of northern Democracy is to be attempted with a system, an energy and a use of strength such, as, had it been so applied, might have "sub jugated" the South in a year's time. Monstrousas these opinions may Appear, they are based upon reasons by no means trifling. First. It is easier, cheaper, q ticker and every way better to encourage volunteering than to draft men. It is going to cost the Government and certain cities together from five to eight hundred dollars for every an who, being drafted and not furnishing a substitute or pay ing the exemption fee, shall tie forced into a uniform and the awkward squad. The machi nery for conscripting is fabulously extensive. The opposition made'everywhere to the draft renders the process exceedingly slow, and ope rates as a diversion in favor of the enemy, and is dirt etly in his interest among foreign powers. Second, If, es aleged, a war with Eogiaod is imminent, volunteering for the defense of our flag and honor against that arrogant empire would, as every school boy knows, be sponta neous among able bodied men in this and other States. Third. Three hundred, thousand.men are not neede:. by the GoveirnifiClA ; but Con trol over the press of New Yerky the Yet" of NEW YORK. July 22. PRICE TWO CENTS_ her people, the rulings of her courts and the stateemaii-like policy of. her Governor, •is deemed the most important consideration of the hour by the leaders of a party which, un less exercising despotic-sway between this and the next general election, is doomed to fall away from sheer rottenness and corruption. It is a pity, indeed, that views Ruch as I have named are held by any considerable body Of . men, and-a greater pity that - inch cogent rea sons should be advanced in their support. Do you, sir, believe that there is a shadow of truth in these lamentable theories _ . REALTE. A new medical work, by Dr. Dio LEWIS, con tains many novel and striking views of hygienic agents in etrengtLening the lungs and prevent ing consumption. We shall extract some of his views, for the benefit of our readers. The book is a recent Boston publication, by Tickner & Fields: A CAM OF CONSUMPTION. Every species of dust must prove injurious. Woikers in those factories where tools are ground and polished, soon die of pulmonary. disease. The dint of cotton and woolen facto "rie3, that of the street, and that which is con stantly rising from our carpets, are all mis chievous. M. Benoiston found among cotton spinners the mortality from consumption, eigh teen per thousand per annum ; coal men, forty one ; -those breathing an atmosphere charged with mineral dust, thirty ; dint from animel matter, as hair, wool, bristles, feathers, fifty, four per thousand ; of these last the greatest mortality Was among workers in feathers ; least among workers in wool: The average liability to consumption among persons breathing the kinds of dust 'named, was twenty-four per thousand, or . 240 per cent. In a community where many flints were made,the average length of life being only 19 years. VALUE OF PURE MIL The steamer Londonderfy left Liverpool for Sligo, on Friday, December 2, 1848, with two hundred passengere, mostly emigrants.' A storm soon came en. The captain ordered the passengers into the steerage cabin, which was eighteen feet long, eleven wide, and seven high. The hatches were closed, andh tarpaulin fas tened over this only entrance to the cabin.— The ',oil* creatures were now condemned to breathe the same air over and over again.— Then followed a dreadful. Beene. The groans of the dying, the nurses and shrieks oT thee° not yet in the agonies of death, must have been inconceivably horrible. The struggling mass at length burst open the hatches, and the mate' was called to gaze at the fearful spectacle.— Seventy two were already dead, many were dying, their,bodies convulsed, the blood start ing from their nostrils, eyes and ears. It does not appear that the captain designed to suffo cate his passengers, but that he was simply ig norant of the fact that air which has pealed to and fro in the lungs, becomes a deadly poison. ABOUT WET. WEATHER A hundred times have my consumptive pa tients expressed surprise that the wet weather, in which I have insisted they should go out as usual, has not injured them—that they even breathe more . Freely thou on ploe,Ocnt Of codrse . , I tell them, if the body is well pro tected, the more moist the air, the more grate cneratigs:--Tnerwurno-p,,. oay. v w carucir which can excuse the consumptive for keeping. in-doors. Give him sufficient clothing, proteot his feet carefully, and he may go out freely in rain, ll sleet, snow, and wind. Ignotaee of this fact has killed thousands. ABOUT NIGHT AIR Consumptives, and all invalids, and indeed persons in heal th, are cautioned to avoid the night air. Do those who offer this advice for get that there is no otherair at night but "night air ?" Certainly we-cannot breathe day air during the night Do they mean that we should shut ourselves up In air-tight rooms, and breathe over and over again, through half the twenty-fourhours, the atmosphere we have al ready poisoned ? We have only the choice be tween night air pure, and night air poisoned with the exhalations from our skins and lungs, perhaps fromluoge already disease]. • OROUNDLXBB INAIt OF A.DBAUGHT. Many persons indulge in a very silly dread of a draught. It is,only by motion in the at mosphere that ourlungs obtain the purest air. If at night the air move briskly directly over your bed, your lungs wilt receive precious sup plies. If yon cannot endure this direct draught you must deny yourself a great luxnry; I once thought that a draught at night directly, over my head was a thing to be avoided. Now I seek it as one of the real blessings of life.— My wife, who inherited a consumptive taint, was ever guarding against night air. Now elle sleeps with two open windows at one end of the bed, and ail open doh at the other. Nei ther of ins have had a cold for several years. Every onemust exercise his own judgment and prudence. I should lie sorry were my words to lead any one into an injurious exposure.— But among the many hundreds—l might say thousands—whom I have advised to sleep with open windoirs, I have never known a single peraOn to be seriously injured, even tempora rily; and, I mar add, that almost without ex ception, so far as I have known, they' would not return to their former-habit of sleeping in unventilated rooms. At first you may contract a cold, but if you bathe freely in cold water, and employ vigorous friction upon the parts exposed while in bed, even this may be avoid.: ed. But after a few weeks' experience it will be quite unnecessary for the physiologist to lecture you on the subject. You will yturself take to exhorting your friends upon the impor t ance of well ventilated bedrooms. oao of the compensations of our great •war will be found in the conviction among a million returned soldiers that night air is not a poison; and that draughts are less dangerous than minis balls. Of course I ant not unaware that what I have said on sleeping in a draught will meet with very general reprobation, but it is not the only case in which false education and preju dice have undertaken to ignore a great natural fact. I can adduce the experience of thousands in favor of a free exposure to night air and winds, and after a wide observation I have never met one person who has tried eue'h ex posure for one month and spoke against it. WE EAT TOO MUCH. In all countries a majority of the population consumes too much food. But, in America, where it is easy for all classes to obtain large quantities of. rich food, the evil is well-nigh universal. I am confident that ninety •nine persons in every hundred eat too much.

PITT STREET ALARM; CRE.—Among the wounded lying in the Thir teenth Ward Station House on the morning of the shooting , was James Stephens, a child only eight years of age, who was shot in the right arm. He lay quite patiently on his left side; and only moaned , when his arm wati touched. Our reportee.seeing him so helpless asked where his parents lived, tind having.ebtained the necessary, information , set out to loot. for them, and was successful• after about an• hour's search. The father stout able man, Mil bears the mark of- a bullet wound over the right eye, which lie.reovived while la the Navy. lie could scarcely believe that his child was shot, and remarked that the soldiers "must have meant mischief or they would not have fired so low as to hit a child like that." He also stated that he bad two other boys, one of whom was twelie years old and Pio other two. On entering the &Mon House he went to his ebild,Who brightened up and cried "Oh! daddy, daddy, come and hiss me, end bring me home to mammy, till I kiss her before I die." The scene was truly heart rending, but the worst bed to come. "Jimmy, my &Ain'," said the poor' man, "did you see Billy ?"

In the pale, bleeding corpse below, he reoogoised his eldest boy, whom but a moment before he was speak ing of with all the pride of a parent, and there side by side, the wounded and the dead, the two little brothers were carried on a door home to their mother whose heart is broken.—N.
