THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CTy.-The
City Inspector has just presented statement to
the Board of Commissioners, now in session,
charged with the duty of amending the charter
of this city, in which he presents some impor-
tant reforms in the Health Department to the
notice of that body. Mr.. Delavan deprecates,
and very justly, the present mode of construct
ing this department, the political complexion
which it has assumed, and the ineficiency which
characterizes its management. He dwells large
ly upon the valuable services of the dispense
ries in preserving public health, and recon-
mends that the existing Board of Health and
Health Commissioners shall be abolished, and a
new Board be appointed, to consist Of the
Mayor, City Inspector, State Health Officer,
Chairman of the Board of Charities and Correc-
ton, President of the Commissioners of Emigra-

pensaries and three physicians, to be chosen by

THE FALL SEAsoN.-There is but little in the
business indications of the present season to
furnish an unfavorable comparison between it
and the corresponding period of last year.
The hotels are filling up, and all the lead
ing theatres-the Academy, the Winter Gar
den, Laura Keenes and Wallack's-are nightly
crowded to repletion. Even Brooklyn is taking
its share in the revival, the Academy reopening
there on Thursday next for one of Hermann's
sorees, to be followed soon by short season
of opera alternately with our own. The fash
ionable milliners have had their show day, and
business among them is so brisk that it is evil
dent the heads of families are loosening their
pursestrings in renewed hopefulness as to the
future. In the Central Park the throng of
splendid equipages which are attracted by the
Saturday concerts attest that the stories about
reduced establishments, of which we have heard
so much during the last few months, have but
very little foundation in fact. Many of the manu-
featuring firms are busy, and we hear of fewer
complaints among the working classes of want
of employment. All this is the result of the
wise financial measures adopted by the govern
ment They have completely restored public
confidence, and convinced business people of
what we have all along assured them, that the
temporary loss of the trade Of the South would
be more than compensated for by the immense
daily expenditure of the government for war
purposes, the loyal States exclusively reapin
the benefit of it.

The MOUTH OF THE OCcoQuAN.-It is reported
from Washington that an attack is contemplated
against the rebel batteries on the Potomac at
the outlet of Occoquan creek. The sooner the
better. Bull run is branch Of the Occoquan,
and by occupying the heights near the outlet
of the latter stream we shall have base Of
operations by which we may turn the flank Of
the enemy at Manassas. From all accounts the
rebels have taken the hint, and are industri-
ously at work to defeat this anticipated flank
movement against them. They are establishing
batteries at the point in question, which, though
comparatively weak now, may soon be too
strong for our gunboats We hope, therefore,
very soon to hear of Hatteras Inlet victory at
the outlet Of the Occoquan.

THE EAST AND THE WEST IN THE RECRUITING
BUsNEss.-Some of the Western papers are be-
ginning to complain bitterly Of the backward
ness of the Eastern loyal. States in raising
soldiers, and of the heavy drain made upon the
liberal Northwest for the defence of Washing
ton when Missouri and Kentucky are in peril.
There is some degree of justice in these COM
plants. Most of the Eastern States, including
New York, are behindhand. Illinois is reported
as having enrolled sixty thousand soldiers for the
war; AT this rate New York should be able to
exhibit in her muster rolls an aggregate of
twice sixty thousand men. She has about sixty
thousand in the field, which is good, and perhaps
twenty thousand more enrolled at our different
recruiting stations. But this is not up to
Illinois,
We suspect that our Governor is somewhat
responsible for this deficiency. Governor
Yates, of Illinois; Governor Dennison, of Ohio;
Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts,, and the
energetic young fighting Governor (Sprague) of
little Rhode Island, have each been the
inspiring head of the volunteering bust
ness in each Of their respective States.
We call upon Governor Morgan to
emulate these examples Of activity, enter
prise and zeal in the good work. 1t is the pro-
vince and tie duty of New York to be the EN-
pire State in the number of her soldiers, as she
is in the financial sinews of this war. Governor
Morgan should not rest until he can show re-
cord for New York of at least one hundred
thousand soldiers in the field, especially as he is
now Major General.

GENERAL FREMoNr's OFFICIAL NorICEs.-The
two or three official orders and complaints late
ly issued by General Fremont are not calcu-
lated to exhalt him in public estimation or cou-
fdence. The country is waiting for acts, not
words, from our commanding General in Mis-
souri,. He has been caught mapping. He is
held responsible for the sacrifice of Lyon and
the surrender Of Mulligan, and hence before
we can admit the right of General Fremont to
complain, We have the right to demand some
compensating achievement at his hands, or his
resignation or removal from the service. He
should be grateful for the opportunity given
him to redeem himself, and he should be dill
gent and active to turn it to good account.
Let him do this, and the country will be salts
fed; and we expect him to satisfy the country.
II is his last chance, but IL embraces an enyiable
opportunity for a glorious name.

THE ARTICLES OF WAR.-In accordance with
the articles of war are to be read to the troops
under his command every Sunday morning,
This measure has much to recommend it, and
will have considerable moral effect upon both
officers and men, by constantly reminding them
of their duties as soldiers and the penalties
which will attend any breach of military law.
In the absence of this regulation many might
have remained in ignorance of the articles OF
war; beyond an idea of their general bearing.
Now, however, there is no excuse for those
even of the dullest comprehension not knowing
the difference between right and wrong. More
over, the reading Of the articles will
act as salutary caution, and be much
more impressive than merely posting
up printed copies of the same. What
now suggests itself is the issue of similar or
der in all the other federal camps throughout
the country What is advantageous on the
banks of the Potomac will be equally SO in
Maryland, Missouri, Eastern Virginia and wher-
ever else our troops may be encampcd. The
number of cases of insubordination in the army
are thus likely to be diminished by the know
ledge and fear of speedy punishment. The
order against picket shooting has already been
productive Of good effects in Virginia in putting
a stop TO wanton and useless system of muir
der; and the more the tone of the army is ele-
waited by such measures as the two referred to
the better for the cause Of humanity, ourselves
aud the republic.

HE FOREIGN OFFICERS IN Our ARMY.-We
have heretofore spoken with Difference and good
will Of the many foreign officers who have taken
service with our government in its struggle
against rebellion. Their promptness in offering
/ heir swords in the cause of the best and freest
gov eminent on the face of the earth is a
guarA ntee of their devotion to liberty, while
the mih tary experience they bring into the ser.
vice is no,' to be despised in the present condi-
ton of an army raised hurriedly from the
ranks of private citizenship. Many European
nations have furnished officers to the army of
the government. France has given its exled
princes, England Its nobility, Prussia
its highly honored commanders, Ireland its
political martyrs, Germany its banished pa
triot soldiers. They are all welcome to take
part in the defence of that flag which protects
all alike, gives home to all alike, and in the
honor Of which they have all coequal inte-
rest
1t is with some regret, then, that we perceive,
from communications which reach us from day
to day, desire to lessen the value of the SER
vices of some of our leading German officers
from the fact of the occupations which they fol-
lowed in civil life in this community. II is
commented upon, for instance, that some among
them are, or have been, proprietors of lager
bier saloons. Suppose it be true that one or
two did sell lager bier, what of that The exile
who has to seek home in a strange land, after he
has sacrificed his native iresde in q struggle
with despotism, must get living in some way;
and provided it be by honest means, not un
worthy OF man, what matters it in what rank
of life he earns an independence? Comments
OF the character we refer to are probably
made not in an unkind spirit, but certainly
in foolish one; for we cannot forget that Louis
Philippe OF France, the King and millionaire,
was poor schoolmaster in the backwoods of
this country in the dark hours of adversely; nor
that Garibaldi, the conqueror OF Italy, for
time made candles on Staten Island to obtain a
livelihood, sailed as master of small brig to
and from this port, and was not ashamed to be
seen carrying chickens in his hand through the
principal streets of this city, in order to redeem
by such simple presents a debt of gratitude
which he owed to Max Maretzek for the free rent
Of house on Staten Island.
Thus the lot of every political exile is
checkered and uncertain, and it is no disqualifi-
cation for honor and promotion that a man is
compelled to resort to humble occupations for
the means of subsistence in the days of trial and
friendlessness in a foreign land.

KENTUcKY.-Kentucky directly after the UNI
expected disaster to our arms at Bull run,
rolled up, in deliberate issue at the polls be-
tween Union and secession, a popular Union
majority of nearly seventy thousand. But still,
notwithstanding this overwhelming vote, and
the decisive stand taken by her Legislature at
the eleventh hour for war against secessiondom,
1t Is suspected that her secessionists in arms to-
day in the State exceed the number of her
Union Home Guard. How are we to account
for this? By a very simple explanation. The
secession element is the revolutionary, fighting,
ruffian element of the South. The Union ele-
ment 10 the law and order party, largely COM
posed of quiet non-combatants. So, in Kentucky
as in every other Southern State, all the despe-
rate politicians, vagabonds, loafers and adven-
turers, who have nothing to lose, but everything
to hope for, from revolution, war and anarchy,
arms against the government.
Thus the secession conspirators have risen
into power over large loyal popular MAORI
ties in many Southern States, and by the simple
force of armed terrorism. Thus they have
dragged Missouri to the verge of destruction,
and thus they menace Kentucky. But her
loyal Legislature has done much to save the
State; and from the warnings of Missouri we
have every reason to hope that the loyalsts Of
Kentucky will not stand praying to Hercules
for help without the fullest efforts to help them
selves. In fact, we consider the acquisition of
Kentucky to the Union side of this war as equal
to gain Of fifty thousand men. So much for
Honest Abe Lincoln's conservative war policy.

must make some impregnabe Judgment on the
river bank, on his own side, which he has not
yet attempted to do. In fact, we begin to sus-
pect that his menaces above and his batteries
below Washington arc intended more for de-
fensive than offensive mcasurcs--more to pro-
tect his own TANKS than to assail ours
We have no doubt that Beauregard's occu-
patton of Munson's Hill was stratagem for
drawing out General Mcclellan from his de-
fences into some such trap as that of Bull run.
Failing in this experiment, Beauregard has with
drawn; and 1T is quite possible that having
gagged the strength of our army, he may now
be preparing to steal off with all his forces to
Richmond. 1t appears that the rebel authori-
ties are collecting large quantities of lumber
there, from which to construct the winter huts
of their soidicrs and so, if Mcclellan will not
come out of his strongholds to accommodate
Beauregard the latter, having exhausted the
country around him, and having satisfied him
self that he has nothing to gain by remaining
on the Potomac, may conclude that his best
course is to fall back upon Richmond, fortity it
and make it his winter quarters.
The season is close at hand when the cotton
States must look to their own deiences. Beaure-
gard cannot longer remain idle without hazard
ing the federal occupation of every Southern
seaport. He must fight or fall back; and if Nc
Clellan will not oblige him by advancing
towards Bull rum we think itquitc possible that
the rebel army Of Manassas may retire in dis
gust Within the present week the question
will probably be settled.
