fore the aggressive move is made in front. The
President has called for 75,000 more troops, making
in all 150,000 already called for. General Wool
Wool says they can have three times that number
if thoy want them. In addition to the New York
troops already sent, there are now formed in the
city of New York 13 regiments of 1,000 men each.
Some of these are encamped at Fort Schyuler, some
at Staten Island, some at the Battery, some in the
little park in front of the City Hall, and some at
the Central Park, and, waiting for their arms and
equipments, which the Union Defence Committee
are furnishing as fast as possible. Beanies these,

tripes is quite as
strong as that of the native-born population. Of
the regiments that went yesterday onein particular
deserves notice—the Firemen's ZOn
aVeS•f—a regi-
ment made up of picked firemen of New York, and
for muscular development and athletic training and
all the elements of a good soldier, unsurpassed in
any service. Every man is a trained athlete, and
of tried courage. The other firemen of the town
turned out to escort them to the steamer, and if it
were not that you must be already tired of the ac-
count of similar displays I .hould like to dwell upon
this, which in numbers and brilliancy of colour ex-
ceeded the previous , ones. From the interior of
the State of New York we learn that the rural po-
pulation isalso in motion, forming a camp at Elmira,
but I am not able to state the number of troops with
precision. The Ohio troops are forming at Colum-
bus under charge of General McLelland, a graduate
of West Point, in whose skill and military science
General Scott 'places the highest confidence. The
Ohio quota is already full, and more rejected than
were accepted. I have nothing new from the In-
diana and Illinois troops since my last letter. A
new call has bon made upon Pennsylvania, and
within forty days she will have 50,000 men in the
field well armed and well equipped. General Pat-
terson has charge of these troops and of the organi-
zation of that large department. He is working
vigorously and effectively as General Wool is here.
His men will be armed with the best weapons that
the Government has at its command—many regi-
ments with the Min'e and Enfield rifles, and will be
the first to move forward, under his directions, in
the southern march.

PRICE 4D STAMPED, SD.

Yprk, and 2,155,000 dols. are furnished by the
city of New York.
The popular organisation under which this great
amount of nioney has been raised and the extraor-
dinary movements for the defence of the country
have been made deserves special notice. In vigour
and effectiveness it has rarely been equalled, and
never, I venture to say, surpassed. It is a fort-
night to-day since the President's proclamation de-
claring a state of war, and calling upon the goverl.
nors of the various States to furnish their quotas of
militia, was made public. Two more days were
consumed in making the distribution of the forces
among the various States, then came the Balti-
more riots, and for five days more the people were
cut off from all communication with their Govern-
.
ment. And yet, in spite of these obstacles, with-
out taking into account what New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, and the West have done, betweeen 10,000
and 11,000 men have gone forth from the city
of New York, fully armed and equipped and
ready for service more than half of them men
who were not enlisted ten days ago, and all of
them men who two weeks since were pursuing
their various peaceful avocations. The men who have
found their way to Washington have done so under
difficulties which might well have tried more expe-
rienced troops. One regiment had to fight its
way through a Baltimore mob. The famous 7th
Regiment-of New York (made up of rank and file
of the sons of gentlemen) marched from Annapolis
to Washington, laying the railway track which had
been -torn up by the Secessionists, while the regi-
ment of Lowell Machinists and Mechanics repaired
the locomotives and reconstructed the bridges. Be-
sides doing this, Fort Munroe has been reinforced,
an agent has been sent to Europe with a large credit
to buy arms,, a steam navy has been improvised out
of the port of New York for the blockade, and a
transport service has been created for the Govern-
ment. Money has been raised faster than it was
needed and beyond present wants, and abundant
means have been secured for future necessities ; and
the Government at Washington has begun to appre-
ciate the patriotism and unanimity of the people,
and leads, at last, in the vigorous measures which
have been inat4urated. The executive force which
could accomplish such gigantic results is this :
When the first blow was struck the citizens of New
York, acting through the Chamber of Commerce,
appointed a Union Defence Committee, consisting
of leading merchants and bankers of all parties.
The city, in its corporate capacity, recognised the
movement by placing at the disposal of the com-
mittee 1,000,000 dols. 3,000,000 dols. voted by the
State authorities are also to be disbursed under its
superintendence, and large private subscriptions,
already amounting to over 200,000 dols., are put
into its bands as fast as received. These subscrip-
tions come in in sums varying from 5 dols. to 20,000
dols. The Government of the United States co-
operates entirely with this committee, its army and
navy officers being in the closest and most confi-
dential relations with it, so that both the Govern-
ment and the Union Defence Committee are cogni-
sant of all disbursements and the application of
them. Thus, the Government is able, in the hour
when it most needs such help, to secure the best
practical business executive talent in the country,
which, combined with and directed by the science of
the army and navy officers, insures energetic action
and economical and judicious expenditure. Without
such a committee 1 believe that the Government
would have been paralysed—at the best, it would
have taken it a long while, in the Secession atmo
sphere of Washington, to reach its present state of
healthy vigour. This committee is at present occu-
pied in sending forward the 75,000 troops ordered
.o march from New York city, and in concentra-
ring here uch other troops as the Governtw:ut may
)rder here. 'Washington, they consider, as already
safe beyond a question. But if their advice is fol-
lowed, the Government will not rest content with
the saPety of the capital. Baltimore must be made
safe route to lirashington. The railway through
Maryland must be made a military route carefully
guarded- Harper's Ferry must be reoccup'ed, and
so must the Norfolk Navy-yard. They are prepared
to aid the Government to the extent of all the wealth
in New York in securing these results. They have
already made every practicable provision to insure
a close blockade of Southern ports, and to overhaul
and catch privateers wherever sailing. They have
also found time to initiate the organisation of simi-
lar bodies in other States, cities, towns, and villages,
and they contemplate that there shall be established
such committees in every municipal organisation in
the Free States, however small or humble, to act in
concert with the central organisation, and in cor-
respondence with the Government through the
Governors of the several States. New York, from its
position and wealth, must remain throughout the
war the centre of all Executive action; bat with
such an organisation that may be made in 10 days'
time, how will the efficiency of its action be in-
ci eased ! Its effect is already felt in the hesitation
of Maryland and the alarm of Kentucky and Vir-
ginia. What it will be when the energy of a
united people, indignant at a succession of insults
and injuries that have been-borne in quiet for years,
shall strike as one man through such au arm can
scarcely be imagined. It is sad to contemplate the
inevitable fate of the Border States, if they con-
tinue to defy the Government. Maryland already
falters. Her Legislature votes not to secede, but
to refer the question to the people, and private
letters from Baltimore assure us that Baltimore
shall be hereafter kept quiet. Virginia has elected
to cast her fate with the Confederate States. She
has seceded and joined that Confederacy, subject to
approval by the people at an election to be held on
the 23d of May, under the guns of Jefferson Davis's
troops, and meanwhile she enters into an alliance
offensive and defensive with them, inviting their
aid in her defence ; but, alarmed at the strength of
the Government, her Governor dismisses the local
militia to their homes, and says that be has no
design of attacking the Washington Government.
I suspect he would be very glad to get a declaration
to the same effect from the Washington Govern-
ment. In Tennessee Mr. Bell, who has hitherto been
a sort of halfand-haif -Union man, countenances
resistance. In Kentucky the Governor has con-
voked the Legislature to act in the emergency.
Those States have now to elect which side they
will take, for, in the present temper of the North,
the Administration will not be able to take any
halfway measures, even if they wish to, which has
ceased to be the case.
The Administration is at last united in its deter-
mination to prosecute the war vigorously. I have
it from the highest authority that they will " lead
the people." All ideas of reconstruction on the one
side, or concession on the other, are thrown to the
aweliGolreau:iaonn
wind ; and, unless the rebels are prepared at the
expiration of the 20 days given in the President's
proclamation (they expire the sth of May) to yield,
they will be made to do so if there are men, money
and patriotism enough left in the Unitonet_ce will
them. I am desired to assure you that p

What the South are doing to meet these gigantic
preparations for offensive war your Special Corre-
spondent can tell you better than I. We hear
rumours that Southern troops are marching on
Richmond in large numbers, but no one here has
accurate information. It is believed here, how-
ever, that the Secession epidemic does not rage in
Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana with as much
virulence as it did three months since while in
North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and perhaps
Missouri, the disease has just assumed the violent
epidemic form. It is believed that the violent rc
medics already applied have cured Maryland, and it
is hoped that neither Kentucky nor Missouri will
yield to it. If they do, it will only make the task
of the Government-a more difficult one; it will not
make it change its settled policy.
There are many incidents connected with the
marching of the troops and their reception in Wash-
ington t hat I should be glad to notice did time per-
mit. You will find most of them detailed in the
New York papers of yesterday and to-day. I have
preferred to use tha space you gave me in detailing
as I have hitherto done, the more important mat-
ters that have pissed under my own eye or come
within my own knowledge.

OUBLE MURDER AND dUICIDES.

GATESHEAD, MAY 13.

Two very fearful tragedies have occurred in the
neighbourhood of this town. On Saturday after-
noon a pitman, named Stoker, occupying a cottage
in a small hamlet, named Galloping-green, upon
the High Fell, left home to make his marketing,
leavi .g his wife and infant in the house, and his
other elder children playing about the door. Upon
returning home between four and five in the after•
neon he found the two eldest of the children at the
cottage door, crying, and the door locked inside.
They told him that shortly after he left their
mother called the third child into the house, and
put down the window-blind and locked the door,
and that she would not let them in. Stoker called
his wife, but got no answer. He then got a wooden
pane open, through which he put his eldest child,
who immediately upon getting into the room began
to scream, exclaiming that her mother and the two
children were lying upon the hed all covered with
blood. Stoker immediately forced open the door,
and on rushing to the bedside he found the two
little children dead, their throats being cut, and
their wretched mother with her throat cut, and ap-
parently dying. The neighbourhood was imme-
diately alarmed, and surgeons were sent for. When
they reached the cottage and examined them, they •
stated that the children had been dead some time,
and that their mother could not live long. The
wound in her throat was sewed up, andshe lingered
until last night. Before dying she was able to state
to her husband that she was out of her head when
she cut the children's throats, and that she cut her
own throat two hours afterwards. It seems she
had been in a low state of mind since the birth of
her youngest child who was seven months old, and
that her husband had been unwell and unable to
f ,flow his employment during the past fortnight.
The deceased woman bore an excellent character.
A most painful feeling has been caused in the
town of Newcastle by the fearful death of Mr.
Matthew Rayne Wheatley, iron merchant, New-
castle. On Saturday morning, about a

not touch the deceased. Not seeing the person rise,
however, some of the workmen were induced to go
forward, and by their assistance Mr. Wheatley was
removed from the awful position in which he was
placed. With every possible haste he was conveyed
to Newcastle, and on his arrival at the Central
Station he was recognised by the station-master,
Mr. Reid. He was immediately removed to the
