meeting In Aid OF western VIrginiN--
Letter from Hon. John s. CRrlile.

Letter rom Hon. John s. CRrlile'
On Saturday afternoon last = meeting
was held in New York in aid of the war
movements in Western Virginia. The Bal
timore Sun says it was failure. We did
not see the particulars of it and cannot say
whether the Sun tells the truth or not. 1t
is in the habit of pronouncing most every
thing failure that relates to the Union
The following letter from Mr.. Garlic to
the meeting is published:
WHEELING, Va, June 81, 1861.
Gentlemen:-We have great difficulty in
obtaining the necessary means to enable
MS to accomplish our purpose of holding
Virginia in the Union, and are much en-
barrassed for the want of funds. we nave
to uniform our companies that enlist in
the service. We have to provide for I'll e
families of volunteers; we have to incur
daily, during the sittings of our conVen-
ton, an expense OF from $500 TO $500 per
day, with many other necessities incident
to putting in motion new government.
Very many OF our delegates in convention
are without means to pay their board, and
cannot remain unleEs relieved. Some OF
us have done all we could. The writer OF
this has advanced out of his own pocket
| SIO5, since the llth inst, to enable mem
bers to remain in the convention, and has,
| for several purposes, since the the inaugu-
ration of the present movement, expended
upwards of 81, and he had not II dol
lar that ought to have been diverted from
the payment of his own debts, and has
several times found himself without mar.
ket money to purchase daily food for his
children. 1t has been suggested to us that
| if our situation was made known to our
| friends in New York they would rally to
our assistance early in the struggle. An
honorable citizen of New York inclosed us
his check for $1,000. We have since re-
ceiyed from another source $4,000, and
this is all the aid we have had from abroad,
while our citizens, who generally have no
spare means, have raised and contributed
many thousands, until they are exhausted.
In little while, when our government is
firmly established, we will be able to walk
alone Now is the pinch with us.
Very respectfully,
JOHN S. CARLILE.

THE trial of the Patterson family against
the BOnaparte family came on again in
Paris on the 25th, in the Imperial Court
on the appeal of the Baltimore family from
the decision of the lower Court, which
was against them. The plea of NJ. Berry
her, in favor of the American family is
said to have been magnificent effort, and
would have carried any case not prejudi-
eed by extraneous causes but the judg-
ment of the lower Court will most prOba-
bly, be confirmed, and then the plaintiffs
will carry the case to the Court of Cassa-
satiOn-the high Court of Appeals.

WAITING FOR THE LEAVES TO FALL.-Ons Of
our morning contemporaries has II that one reason
why General Mcclellan does not move forward
upon the enemy is that, DESTROYS to see his way
clearly before him, he il waiting for the leaves
of the Virginia woods to fall SO as to deprive
the rebels Of the shelter which the Virginia
woods still afford for masked batteries. There
may be something in this idea, but we suspect
Gen. Mcclellan is simply waiting to ascertain
whether the rebels intend to abandon South
Carolina to her fate, in order to hold
on to Virginia as long as possible, or whether
they intend to draw upon Beauregard or john
ston for troops to defend South Carolina They
must do the one thing or tho other, and as it is
rumored that rebel troops are already beginning
to move from Virginia southwark, it is quits
possible that the great rebel army Of Virginia
may be defeated without a battle OF one
thing wo are certain, to wit, that Gen. McClel-
Ian understands his position and his advantages
better than any other man in the country, and
that he may be safely trusted.

The WAR AND SOCIAL IMPROvEMENT-Th
war will not be without its uses in permanently
elevating the tone of American society. Its i'll
huence will not alone be felt in the common
relations of everyday life, bnt will take
subtle hold of the public mind, and find its
way into every branch of politics and every de-
parment Of the public service. It will create
a power which will act as salntary counter
poise to some of the evils Of popular suffrage,
and in all respects we shall find our.
selves the better for the change As
with the nations of Europe, the effect of a
large portion of the upper strata Of our male
population being in the army, and accustomed
to obedience and politeness to their superior
officers, will be to make us more courteous and
polite as a people. The habit Of courtliness
will be one Of the conventional marks which
society will imprint upon ITSELF and to this all
will Of necessity aspire. This will lead as we'll
az follow corresponding Improvement in the
moral tone Of society, and we shall be less dis
posed to be ruled by the cana;Ue than formerly.
when it was allowed that the best man to repre-.
sent us was the one who could secure the most
NoteS az pOpuluE cleCllOiI, IckdTulcSS OF every
thing else. Politics led Fremont to the height
Of power he recently occupied in Missouri. He
could have procured an unlimited number of
votes, but he nevertheless proved utterly incom-
petent to perform the duties of the important
position assigned to him. The force of his
popularity sent him up like rocket, and all
eyes followed him in his rapid and luminous
flight; but, like the rocket, his glory was of
short duration, and he has come down like
stick, and his friends, although they raised an
cutlery, were powerless 10 prevent it. Where
would Mcclellan have been had he required
election? And yet Mcclellan is the right man
in the right place The uses of the war will be
to strengthen our government, and lead to the
selection of better representatives than we have
had hitherto; and while making us a military
people, with a military spirit, advance us i'm
measurably in the refining arts Of civilization,
and with the prospect of such results of the war
as these before us, we can safely bear the tenn

A New ASrI-SLAvERy KISK.--One Of the
newest of the anti-savery kinks is the attempted
defence of LID. Russell by the abolition press.
They say his letters are graphic, interesting and
impartial Now, really, Russells letters are the
merest twadde and they are so generally
ignored that no American newspaper will re-
publish them. A few Of his first letters were
graphic and interesting enough, because he saw
things which interested us all down South
When he came to write about the North, how
ever, he kept as far away from the truth as
possible, and the people soon detected this
Interesting" trait Nowadays he indulges III
political essays, and demonstrates himself an
'1lrish tory"--that luSus nature which John
Randolph declared be never saw. AS for the
impartiaiity OF Russelfs letters, they have been
devoted to the interests Of the rebels always
and have greatly assisted the schemes Of ths

The MAYoRALTY EIECrf0E-The approachina
charter election promises to be very amusing.
There was not much excitement over the
county election which came off on the 5th
inst, but the one which is impending will be 4
different affair. One Of the principal features
of the conflict this year is cheating which has
been raised to the prominent position of an
established and duly recognized political insti.

apparently, to receive money or any other
valuable quid pro quo, and then to throw the
poor squeezed dupe deliberately overheard
Last year, only Judge Russell experienced
this fate, but it is practised this On q
more extensive scale. This will teach candi-
dates, at any rate, the Importance Of looking
ont for contingencies, and make them more far
sighted. With respect to the Mayoralty, the
rump of Tammany and the republican rnmp OF
the candidates, which have recently been sent
to the right about, are bowling against Wood.
Raymond, the "little villain" of the Times,
who got the votes Of Mozart Hall, and was
thus elected for the Assembly over The head o.
the regular Mozart candidate, remains on the
fence. He is waiting to see what will turn up.
According to all appearances, however, Mr..
Wood has broken up all the other factions,
and scattered them, after the most complete
Bull run pattern. There is a stupid effort
being made, it is true, to unite the dsjointed
political elements of the city on some one anti
Wood man, but it cannot possibly succeed.
They all too stupid, too foolish, and too faith
less to each other to do anything Of the kind,
and there is scarcely question that Mr.. Wood
will walk over the course. Why shouldn't he!
The rabid fury with which he was once assailed
has died out; all agree that he is good Mayor;
and he is certainly one Of the ablest politicians
this city can produce.
