SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1861 A Goon 11)17:A.—The Governor of New Jersey has sent a commissioner to visit all the. New Jersey regiments at the seat 'of war, and try to prevail upon the men to send their money home, either, for their families or for safe keeping. .1 - Ih3 plan, which meets with sue,cess, is, to have the chaplains go around a few days before pay day. and get the men to say • what amount shall go, and then be on )land to get the money from the pay master. The whole amount, is then sent to the Governor, and the men's orders , 'on him aro.paid wherever the men re '‘side. This is an excellent idea, and one tli, hich might be - carried out with adven t=re by the MithOrities of our own State. o have no doabt whatever that if steps r 'like the • above were taken with our troops;that a large portion of their pay would every month find its way to their fainilles. The Governor would do well 'to give the matter his attention, as the plan is_ one which must work well, and .might be imitated with advantage by ttbe l different States having troops in the :field. , , . THE JEWS IN THE FEDERAL ARMY.- The `irewish Afessen,ler alludes to the patriotic action of the Jews, as follows': "In the army of the Union our pedple will be found to occupy no insignificant Tart, taking into consideration their cernriarative fewness of nuinbers. Coin- iiiiSsioried and non-commissioned officers as' well'es privates' of the Jewish faith , there are many; some in command of fine• regiments and' gallant companies, 'hewer made their mark already ; some 'hiivebeen stricken do : Wn by the .hand of (the '`destioyer ; some have' received 4otindi-which a lifetitne - inety_ not heal; od'the whole; they have been sin =gularly blessed.

WINTER QUARTERS.--Quartermaster ,en9rul Meiis is Underii.too,d to be rnak lugprovision for the comfort of our troops during ,the coming, winter, by providing portable 4tove . s, to be used i . .. n tents. During the 'Crimean war Na -peleon had over three thousand stoves I sent toTtlie.army besieging Sebastopol, 'and nearly itie . saree nUmber of wooden 'huts: were also provided. While it is to be hoped that many of our trimps will pass' the winter in the "sunny South," those who may be exposed to the varia %le temperature o f tho middle States Vonld be p , ovided with comfortable reariers and an abundance of , warm clothing. -far Gen.

McClellan has restored to the New York 79th their forfeited colors.— The Scotchmen feceiied them with en thusiasm, and with oaths of,fidelity. Gen. Lyon's sword.and chapeau have been presented to the State of Connec ticut. Tht t y Will he deposited in the rooms of the 'H. istorial Society to await the action of the General Assembly. Gen. Lyon's Will gives ail his proper ty, some $30,000, to the government. His labor, his possessions and his life have all been laid upon the alter of the country which he loved. No .man can do more ; and' his name and memory is henceforth embalmed among the most precious of f nation's treasures. Jdff. Dhiris, though not dead, was doubtless seriously ill, as the Southern papers allude to his taking an airing for the first time, on the Bth. Adjutant-General Thomas has decided that under no circumstances whatever will soldiers be discharged from the army, on the allegation that they were minors when they enlisted. These' dis charges have a demoralising influence in the regiments.' Colonel Cass, of the Massachusetts Ninth Regiment, is named to be.appoint ed a Brigadier-General. Colonel G. is an .Irishman,. . and is in corumand-of, as Irish regiment. Ile has shown excelent qualifications fora.military officer, and his regiment is in admirable discipline. In' ode of the companies now being raised in Cincinnati for Fremont's coin mend, there is an old man who witness ed the burning of M6scow. He has al so three nephews in the company. The Captain at'flist refused to take the vet eran, but he insisted ou going "to teach his nephews how to , fight." He says he can stand fire as well as any young man in the regiment. Fx•Minister Faulkner and Marshal Kane have been, within a few days . dis pached to join the National boarding house, a-doWn "the narrows," below New York, commonly called Fort Laylayette. That is the place for them—send 'em along. There are plenty more to go thUre yet. Thomas Francis Meagher made, a sharp point with the Irishmen of Ameri ca the other day when he told them that a revolution which had , "the flattery and Patronage of the English aristocracy," could surley never have the heart and arm of any Irishman who had learned the history of the Stars , and Stripes, and valued the blessings and protection they insured. Last Wednesday afternoon, U. S. Deputy Marshal Jenkins seized• three stallions, said to be owned by a Mr. Ward,'regiding irk 'Richmond, Virginia. The horses when seized were on board one of the steamboats on the Erricson line, on their way to Daltimore. They came from' New York. The seizure is made under the act of Congress of July 3 1861. They are worth about $5OOO. The battlements on Federal Hill, Bal timore, are being rapidly completed.— When the whole work is finished it will be one of the most impregnable fortifi cations in the country. Major Brewer ton is in charge of - the works, and gives emploYment to a large number of Union cartmen. When they are - done, Murray next be fdrtified, and then La fayette Park. Col. Hawkins commanding at Hatter as Inlet, has already formed the nucleus of a North Carolina 13rigade,.in 200 men, whom he has mustered Into service.— This number is daily increasing, the men coming in to his post from the country around to 3 enlist under the "Stars and Stripes." Massachnsetts will soon send to the field six new regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and three additional batter ies of 'light artillery. Of the infantry two regiments are being raised by Sena tor Wilson, 'wh'o is devoting his whole energy to the work. The distinguished political prisoners from Baltimore, including Mayor Brown, Ross Winans, Henry May, and others, arrived at Old Point. They will be closely confined in the casemates within the fortress. General Fremont has arrested Col. Frank Blair, Jr., at St. Louis, for using disrespectful language' towards him in ,letiters intended toqsecure his removal. The. hody of Col. John A. Washing ton, •killed in a previous skirmish, was sent to his friends. [This is the Col.

Many reasons, w not interest your readers, h ed my occasional appeara tim you; but I confess to a growl dit ence to many things which m years ago were among my chi and one of them, which affor e much pleasnie as 'any Other, w rr. pondence. Whether the gro o f mities of age, or . absorption in If is at the root of this, I shall no e , to say—perhaps it is both. B h age, nor business should inter what pertains to common hon I confess myself largely your and mean to liquidate. But ho hope to make any more ideal co dente ac3eptable, since the eye whole nation are turned to the t the battle field, and war correspoi keeps thousands of goose quills I jug, and type-setters busy from o of the land to the' other—from M. —Virginia. The movements in and throug.,, city, mould require a voluminous rian it is true, but it would require au übiquitous reporter, or at lea "special" Riissell, who could 'by a hotel table, set legions in the field, lend a hand in stopping a rout. I not blame the " Dticior," it is his b rEI23 The energetic measures of Gave merit in weeding out " sympathy," mod with very hearty approval here, excel among Breckinridgers, who howl aboi the liberty of the press, and the small of the Constitution—who cry '" peace peace, while there is no peace," who would yield themselves slaves body andl soul, to bring the administration into disrepute. Ido not know whether my ancestors were not cannibals, for I feel sometimes like flaying and roasting some • The arrest'of the arrant little traitor, Pierce Butler, has created very little re mark here: Every one knows that he is a traitor, and that is sufficient. It is not . generally known that .he is the bro ther-in-law of General Ca.dwalader, but such is the fact, and I saw them walking Chestnut street together only the day before his arrest. When the war first broke out, he made his arrangements for going South, and to a gentleman who was expressing, in my presence, his regret to Miss : Fanny Butler, at her going away ; she replied, that, while she could not think of enjoy ing herself in the South, and would not stay long, yet her father got so angry at any oae who attempted to reason with him on the subject that she had given up to him entirely, and would not offer a word to induce him to change his mind, especially as she felt that the South was right. She was back in two weeks, and her father in three months—to remain. Mr. Butler—or Maes—which is his proper name, you will remember, was separated from his wife, Fanny Kemble, because of his slavery sentiments ; and also drove Dudley Tyng from the church of. Epiphany, because he had the audaci ty to preach a sermon on National, Sins, and, say a,word about slavery ! • The chickens come home slowly to roost,—but they come. As recruiting goes on, people become mote universally ;interested in the, war, for nearly every, family has its represen tative in the army, but recruiting goes on slowly enough, though as briskly as might be expected in a domestic quarrel. The number of men Philadelphia has in the field is pot generally understood, -but it is very large. Col.. Baker's Regi ment is made up very largely of. Phila delphians, while many whole companies belong ' to, New York and New Jersey Regiments, and the Delaware quota comes alinost, entirely from Pennsylva nia. I have a brother in the Delaware 2nd who tells .me that they are almost to a man from 'Philadelphia. It is very curious to look up and down Chestnut st., at any hour of the day, and count the number of uniforms in. sight, when a short year ago an army- or, navy ,button did not show itself in a month. It is no Jess strange to visit the Coop. er refreshment saloon, at the Navy Yard, any evening fron_lo to 12 o'clock, and witness the landing, and feeding, of the hardy, dusty, thousands cotarmed men on their way Southward ; not the, scum of a metropolis ; but hardy sinewy men from thc_ interior, towns -of Maine, Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Ne'm York and.Vet mont=able and• willing hands, who will do or die. • • We never expected, IA such scenes , in America, not been bliriOed by our skould have, expected :it disease has been knawing at our vitals, and. we have to our , own: native vigor, to and perform a.eure, never we should have lxv sub surgical operation at la: death operation.

That is the t stuff that Patriotism is' made of, and the spirit which will nerve our Govern ment. I am rejoiced that Marietta and May- , town have sent their companies to swell a , the ranks of the army. All honor to them, they are engaged in the holiest cause in which men ever drew the sword —prosperity will bless them. Yours, S. H. I?. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Post Office at Alatiet ta, Pa.
