NEW YoRK, Oct. II, 1861.
DEAR NEws:-I have taken occasion
to see, as far as my limited time here
would permit, the public places and OBJ
jocts Of interest Perhaps I may be
able to transmit some observations that
will not be insufferably dull.
New York is cosmopolitan to a strik-
ing degree. People of all clilnes and
customs may readily find kindred associ-
atoms here. Unbounded wealth stands
in close and strong contrast with abieot
poverty. IF you wish to spend a few
days in quiet you have but to take lodg-
ings cup town" ia one of those lofty
brick or brown stone mansions which
tower grandIy and interminably along
the shaded and secluded avenues. This
is nay fancy, and after a day or two
spent at the Libby House, situated
on Warren street near Broadway, in the
business center Of the city, I found
very agreeable change in removing to
clearinghouse on Second Avenue, cor
uer Of Twenty street. The nature
Of my business here led me to make
this selection, aud find myself in the
midst Of the great middle. class Of New
York, and feel very much at home. It
is but short walk to Fifth Avenue,
where the uristocraoy do congregate.
After a weeks practice I can barely
manage to navigate "down town" with
out the aid of the police to set me right,
after getting hopelessly entaugled in the
maze of crooked and pointed streets
that are SO perplexing to a stranger
Down town" means the old part of the
city, extending from the Battery to
First street, where the Avenues also be.
GIN Thence to Harlaem, distance Of
about 7 miles, is cup town" Street
cars run night and day in the Chief
avenues from near the CITY Hall to
harlaem, a distance OF more than eight
miles; fare all through six cents half
tho distance or less, FIVE cents.

institutions on Blackwell's Island to.
day, In order to this the visitor must
FIRST procure permit at No, Bond
street. This will confer upon him a
free passage by steamer Bellevue,
which plies daily between the Island
and the city. Starting at the foot Of

4 Venerable Trio.

Among the privates in the ranks of the
Union army in Kentucky, are three dis
tinguiahed gentlemen, who are but little
short of being oc'oge They are
grey-hairCd patriot-father who have
left the impress of their usefulness on
their country's history, and now, in their
extreme old Oge, are found marching
side by side with their sons and grand-
sons, in defense of that country's honor
and glory, against the machinations of
traitors and the open hostility of rebels.
We refer TO Hon. John j Critenden,
Judge Daniel Breck, and Hon. William
p. Thomason. Each of these veterans
has been a representative in the coun-
ellis OF the nation, and in that and other
capacities they have "made to them
selves a name
They are direct descendants of those
noble men who achieved our national
independence, and their own memories
extend back to that. eventual period.-
They witnessed the birth of our glorious
republic, and have watched and assisted
in her progressive career from the begin
ming No wonder that they are ready,
even now when their prescribed years Of
life are nearly spent, to risk their lives
for her preservation in the midst of
present Perls. What a noble example
of patriotic fidelity for the young men
of Americal

true patriot who, ia his honest devo.
