The Dorset Cadets met al their drll-room last
Saturday evening, with more interest manifested
than at any previous meeting. The principal
cause Of this unusual stir in our military ranks
was the unexpected presence Of Capt. Wood, who
had come over for the purpose Of giving us the
first rudiments in military tactics. The whole
company was highly pleased with their new drill
MASTER and paid the solicited attention to all his
Instructions As the Cadets were going through
their exercises, the Captain made the compliment
ary remark that she guessed they had been drill
ed before. The officers elected by the Company
are limited for the present to only three,-Cap-
tain, LIST Lieut., Orderly Sergeant. The names
Of the officers chosen are as follows w. r. Dun

EDIToRs JouRNAL.-The great event
OF the day here, in the City of Notions"
has been the arrival and departure of the
Second New Hampshire Regiment. They
left Portsmouth on Wednesday morning,
and were welcomed as the first body Of
New Hampshire troops which have passed
through Boston, by number of the sons
Of the Granite State residing here. The
Eastern Railroad Depot was gaily deco
rated, and al quarter before Y the cars
arrived aud the men disembarked. The
characteristic feature of the regiment was
the youthful appearance of the troops;
but spite of this they showed the bearing
Of more experienced soldiers. After
speeches of welcome, they partook of a
collation. at the Music Hail. and then hav-
ing review on the Common, departed
for New York.
The appointment of civilians as officers,
over the heads of members Oh the "regu-
lars" excies great disapprobation here.
The recent awful mistakes Of Pierce and
Schenck have shown the wretched policy
Of political military favoritisn. Even
General Butler is now regarded somewhat
suspiciously. For my own part, ! think
him, in the Big Bethel affair, quite as
much to blame as Pierce. Hitherto some
one Tor other) has Numbered most hor-
ribly.
The Atlaatic Monthly is out today. 1t
contains an article on Ellsworth, who no
doubt was good and brave fellow enough,
though certainly lacking discretion. But
the writer of his memoir makes him out to
be ono Of those
"Faultless ROSTERS whom the world ne Ter saw"
From the beginning of the article TO its
close, it is one fulsome piece of eulogy.
When will people learn that plastering
person, dead or alive, with praise is dam
aging rather than otherwise. Here in
America there is morbid craving for
haitery,and the scrateh-me-and-pll-scratch
thee principle is carried out to ridiculous
extent. Oh Heavens save me from
my friends, say !.
Business here is very dull, and large
failures are daily reported. These hard
times almost reconcile poor devils like me
TO have nothing to lose. A large jewelry
house burst up yesterday and many other
old firms are shaky." fear we are, in
this respect, only at the beginning of the
end"
The clergy here are preaching War
diseourses, and seem TO have, for a time,
