The volunteer uniform companies are an honor to

who compose them. In appearance, discipline,
and sodierly bearing, they would contrast not un-
tavorably with some Of the regular European reg.

burlesque, on everything like military orsaniza-
tlon, as the "loafer militia" The whole thing il
absurd. The system is used only by few indi-

the imposition Of fines, to obtain the means ofguz

OLE NOAH IN THE FIELD old Noah, of whom
we have heard but little of late, has, it seems, start
ed into the field again. He has "cut" politics, and
now betakes himself to the old subject of the re-
storation of the "chosen people" He proposes to
give lecture on religion, eternity, the age Of the
world, the end of all things, the Interpretation OF
the prophecies, the gathering in of the tribes, and
their triumphant return 10 the Holy City. He en-.
ters in fact, into the field OF controversy with the
Mlllerites, the Mormonites, and Margaret Bishop.
Margaret b. lieves that the "end' has indeed come
that the slime" is past-and that some morning
before sunrise the bridegroom will be seen in the
clouds, when people least expect him. Noah's views
on all these points will be rather curious He is
now in his proper vocation, and we must give him
a little attention.

PEDESTRIAN MATcHEs.-Up0n reference to the
columns Of our papers fer the last few days past,
there have been various rumors of other pedestrian
matches about to come off, all arising out of the
great match Of Wednesday last. John Barlow,
anxious 10 have another opportunity of testing his
powers before he returned to England, is ued
challenge to any native American to contest with
him match for ten miles, with the hope of Gil
dersleeve accepting the challenge, and last even
Ing was appointed for settling the matter at the
Second Ward Hotel, Nassau street, according to
notice. About nine o'clock the matter was
brought forward. Mr.. E. Jones, the worthy host,
said, that he was empowered to make the necessa-
ry deposit on behalf Of John Barlow, to run ten
miles over the Centreville Course, Long Island
The reason this ground was selected was, that it
being further from the city there was not that like
lihood Of such mob to break in upon the ar
rangements oithe day, as there was on "Wednesday
the Beacon Course, TO the great danger Of every
respectable person present; and, further, that
there all parties would have an opportunity of
seeing the sport at much more reason
able cost. Mr. Browning, on behalf OF
John Gdersleeve said, that he was en-
powered to make match Of IL to Is miles for
81, 600 10 $50 to come off over the Beacon
Course not but that he thought match would
not be objected to over the same ground for ten
miles. Mr.. Jones said, he was not empowered to
agree to the match coming of over any other
ground than the one he mentioned. Mr.. Browning
then said. the matter is at end; tor Mr. Glider
sleeve has directed me to say that he will not run
over any other ground The gentleman then with

concentrations Of the exerons of Gidersleeve
the late occasion, and expressed their readiness
TO subscribe to handsome testimonial to be pre-.
sented to him in honor of his native land, to which
he was an ornament, among the foremost Of which
was the worthy host himself. There is little doubl
but that something handsome will be done for ths
enterprising, painstaking, and deserving young
man.

ing away their money in support Of those fighting
clubs about town? A more suicidal policy for the
peace Of society and the safety Of this city could
not be imagined, and never was adopted, by any
set Of party leaders, than the establishment of these
clubs. As matters are now proceeding, they will
either by accident or design, set fire to the city,
create mobs, and insurrection. Only look at the
terrible state Of the city during the past week! On
one evening several serious rows and street fights
took place, and one Of the hotels was in imminent
