From New York.

The correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Ledger says that New
York has been panic stricken by
the great defeat, and adds:
The city has been i'll a state Of
indescribable excitement all day.
The anxiety to see tie lists of the
killed and wounded, and to know
the worst is painful and universal.
The newspaper offices are thronged
with mothers and sisters, as well
as fathers and brothers, waiting in
agonizing suspense the publication
of each successive bulletin, and
grief, for the moment, is every
where.
The moral effect of this disaster
is more dreaded even than the
physical results. Merchants and
business men fear that its first re-
suit abroad will be the recognition
Of the rebel government by Eng
land and France. The first steam
er 10 take out the news will be the
Canada, from Boston, Wednesday.
Wall street, you will see, has
received a staggering blow. Gov
ernment securities went down
from 5 to per cent. in the course
of the afternoon, and the market,
tits scarcely necessary to say, was
greatly depressed.
1t was rumored that a meeting
of the 7th regiment was to be
held this afternoon, at s o'clock,
to tender their services at once to
the government-but, on repair
ing to their armory, | discovered
the armory doors closed, and the
report entirely without foundation.
Circulars are out calling for a
special meeting of the Union De-
fence Committee at an early hour
to.magow morning.

s.SHCDDY."

: The New York Day Book says
According to the official repor
of the Investigating Committee O
the State Military Board, it wa,
this wretched stuff that was useC
by the, New York contractors in
making up the greater part Of 700C
suits for our volunteers. The
New York Journal Of Commerce
says that if the committee had
defined "shoddy" more fully, many
readers not in the dry goods trade,
but possessing generalknowledge
Of cloths, would have recognized
it as an article which they have
often seen exposed for sale On the
outside Of the lowest slop-shops.
Ii is made Of old rags, Of all col
ors and descriptions, which are
macerated to a pulp and then
pressed into cloth. The process
!, Of manufacture is nearly the same
as that of felt. ''Shoddy," fresh
from the mill, has a solid, substan-
tial look, which would easily de-
.ceive a person expert in cloths.
After a brief exposure to the sun
or rain the true nature Of the fabric
begins to appear.
Itreveals multiplicity. Of tints
here a patch Of grey, there one
Of brown, then delicate green,
next to il a dull brick color, and
so on through all the hues in the
rainbow or out Of it. Presently
a slight, careless pull at some spot
where the clothing is not lined
makes a huge, irregular gap. La
a few weeks, when the hot, or cold
and stormy weather has done its
perfect work on the "shoddy,"
it can be shaken into its orig
inal rags by a lively motion of
the hand. People who make up
this bogus stuff for sale never put
GOOD thread or honest workman
ship pintoit. Both would be thrown
away, for no amount of taiIors craft
IAN prevent ''Shoddy" from tumb-
ing TO pieces at It's appointed time.
Such is the vile stuff that was
made by New York contractors,

OMiNOUS.

/ An Alexandria correspondent
of the New York Lincoln sheet
writes:
| crossed oyer the city in. the
afternoon for the. purpose of see
ing the flag raising on the grounds
Of the white house. 1t was a very
imposing spectacle. On a raised
platform seats were placed for and
occupied by the president and his
lady, the members of cabinet,
Gen Scott and staff, Gen. Sandford
and staff, Gen Mansfield and staff,
Rev. DIR. Pryne. The escort and
guard consisted of a company of
I'd infantry regulars, under COM
Inand of Col. Butterfield. A pray
er was delivered by Rev. DIR. Pryne,
the halliard was then taken hold
of by the president, who COM
menced to hoist the flag. At this
juncture an incident occurred
which will furnish work for in
terpreters of omens. The flag
when near the top caught in a
nail, and "eight" stars were whip
ped out Of the starry constella-
ton. An exclamation broke from
the crowd, That's the southern
States" The nlishap was soon
righted, and the flag, which is the
one under which Capt. Ward of the
Freeborn was shot, now fcats proud
ly to the breeze. Some excellent
music by the Maine and 18th regi-
ment bands, diversified the pro-
ceedings. The assemblage, which
numbered about two thousand,
cheered the flag and the president,
and then dispersed.

AMSULSNCES. q

An ambulance is a moving hos
pital attached 10 an army for the
purpose Of rendering immediate as
.sistance TO sick or wounded soldiers
1t VIII perhaps interest the reader
to have a description ofthe smbu-
lances captured by our troops after
TIE battle cf Manassas:
The body is fifty inches wide, and
is divided into two compartments,
each one entered by means of a
door at the rear. The driver sits
outside, entirely away from the suf
ferer, and is protected from inclem-
ent weather by an adjustable calash
top. The ambulance has four steel
springs resting on the flexible hick-
ory shafts, aud the bed on which
the patient lies is also supported
by four other steel springs, to
which are attached small wheels
to facilitate the movement in and
out of awounded soldier, without
his rising. The bed and mattress
is decidedly ingenious arrange
ment, and should be seen to be full
ly understood. Either end can be
raised at any elevation desirable,
and either end Of the mattress can
be made into a good pillow in an
instant. 4 small trap-door in the
center Of the bed, worked by
means of a spring and bolt, affords
a convenience to the sufferer that
can be easily appreciated. If the
weather is warm, and the sun
too hot to admit of hosting the,
curtains, turn of a button un-
loosens a section of the side, which
drops down upon its hinges and the
cool air can pass through and over
the inmates. while the curtains still
shut out the rays Of the sun. Sew
eral also have q rack over the head,
where trunk or any clothing
desirable can be placed, and every
thing that would conduce to the |
comfort of the wounded be imme-
diatelv within his reach. In fact,
the new ambulance is a complete
movable hospital, in which the
sufferer can rest at ease, forgetful
that he is in the camp or upon the
battlefield.

Best Node Of Loading a ShOl-Gun.

Capt. L.. III. Burfoot, Of the
Chesterfield Mounted Rangers,
Virginia, gives the following di-
rections about loading double-bar-
relied shot-guns to such of his
companies as cannot obtain rifles.
The experiment is worth trying
here also:
Now l desire that each man
who intends to rely on the double
gun viii follow my directions, and
| viii insure that a STEADY aim"
viii tell at eight or ninety yards
every fire. Garry your gun with
you to the place where you intend
to buy your shot; get cut wad,
drive it down the barrel of the gun
a quarter of an inch, level and
smooth.
Now take the shot and PUT
three ON the wad; if they fill the
bore OF the gun well, snug and
smooth, without any loose space.
they will do. You will thus find
that three shot can fill the circle
of the bore of the gun, SO can four:
sfteg four, the next number to f!l
the circle seven; to shoot men
with these last viii be too small:
therefore buy only such shot as
viii, ON careful trial in the gun
itself, lay in tiers of either three
or four.
l prefer, for any gun, tiers of
