An Expert Burglary---$6,0 900 Worth
of Silks Stolen.

From the New York T Zines, September 3.
One of the most skillfu. burglaries
which have taken place for long time in
this city, was committed on last Saturday.
at the store of E. II. Arnold & Co, com.
mission merchants, No. 81 Warren street.
Wien the porter opened the store Oh Mon
day morning last, he found numerous bales
and boxes of goods missing, and many of
those remaining had been broken open,
and portion of their contents taken
away ; the remnants were strewn around
in great disorder. lie was not long in
ascer1aining the fact that burglars had en-
tered the store by digging hole through
the wall from the building adjoining, No
70 Warren street. The police were imme
diately notified, and Capt. Mount, of the
Third Precinct, was very soon on hand,
and made a thorough survey OF the prem
ises. The building No. 70 Warren Street,
was, previous to ,as, May, occupied as the
Third Precinct Station. Since that time
it has been occupied as tenement house.
About the middle of last week, man
who said he resided with his family on the
corner of Tenth avenue and Forty ninth
street, hired room on the first floor of the
building, adjoining the store of Arnold &
Co., for the purpose, as he represented it.,
of an office lie soon after moved in the
only furniture found in the room, which
consisted of an old wardrobe and table -
When Capt Mount visited the premises
on Monday, he found the door of this room
locked, and the only way that he could
gain an entrance was through the "hoe
IN the wall " from the store to his office.
Here he found twenty>three empty boxes,
all of which had been conveyed from the
store, through the opening in the partition,
to the room of the burglars. In this
room there was much 10 indicate that
more than one person had been engaged
in the burglary. About $500 worth of
goods were found in the apartment by
Captain Mount, mostly remnants, which
had evidently been left by the thieves in
their haste to evacuate the PREMISES
The Captain also found large number of
burglars tools, such as jimmies, knives,

Union Movement in New York.

UoRArIo SEYMOUR has been nominated
for Governor by tue Democracy of New
York. lie and the ether candidates on
the Democratic State ticket were subse-
quently nominated by the Constitutional
Union Parry" of that State. The follow
ing extract from the proceedings of the
Convention of that party will serve to
show cause why such consolidation was
deemed necessary;
Hon James Brooks rose 10 present a
resolution looking TO co operation with the
Democratic party in the coming election
lie characterized the republican party as
geographical and never national, contrast

errors, had RENAME! true to the Union

The Democratic Address.

The Madison Patriot speaks of tho
Democratic Address as follows:
We approve of it every word and
sentence-it is just what we would say, had
we the ability to say it as we'll 1t is a
plain statement OF facts-old truths bro't
forward for the sober second thought of
the people. 1t teaches us anew our duty
under the Constitution, and brings us back
again to the wise and patriotic policy of
those who framed the Government, and
to the acts of those who administered the
laws, knowing and approaching the obi
cations of the Constitution. 1t is a rock
of Truth, upon which the Democracy may
stand and battle against the enemies of the
Government; and if Our now distracted
country is ever united, ard united it must
be, i. will rest upon the principles SO ably
declared and defended in this address.
Our country can never be united under a
sectional party, and if the Democratic;
party ceases, what national party will rise
to take its place, and rally the loyal men
of the nation il support of the Constitu'
ton as it is? Read it. The Address
speaks its own praise.

A Visit to the Battle Field.

A surgeon who aided in taking caro- of
our wounded after the battles. says:
On Tuesday night Gen Jackson's head
quarters were between the Warrenton d
Alexandra and Little River Turnpikes, at
point five or six miles east of Centreville
and in the neighborhood of Fairfax Court
uouse. We passed by the side of the
camp for mile. The soldiers we're biv-
ouacked under the trees, being without
tents. Some of the soldiers told US that
Gen. Lees headquarters were mile dis
tant. We saw Jackson, who was dressed
very little different from private. lie
has no extensive staff. but has couriers
taken from the ranks, as we conversed
with one of them who was intelligent and
communicative.
We saw Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, on Wednes
day,a Fairfax Court House, where large
body of Stewards cavalry are stationed,
about three miles beyond Falls Church.
One of them said he had the n Y Herald
of the day before, and to remove doubt
expressed, be showed it 10 us.
A rebel lieutenant told us that they had
shot courier bringing dispatches from
Gen. Halleck to Gen Pope, and were
therefore advised of the calling in of our
forces to Washington.
There should be thorough and efficient
organization of ambulance corps, after the
manner OF the French army, and each am
bulance should be provided with a small
amount of provisions, such as crackers
and concentrated food to be made into
soup, when necessary, so as to be lndepen
dent of hospital supplies through the
regular process. The War Department
SHOULD not lose a moment in etiecting
such an organization. If the country could
but witness the suffering which | have
beheld among the wounded on the battle
field, the people would imperatively de-
mand that surgeons should be made to do
their duty strictly, and tina: there should
be thorough efficiency given to the am
bu'ance corps by their proper and system
attic organization under a competent head
and proper subordinates.

Neither Summers army corps nor

DISTRESS IN ESGLAND.-The distress
in the manufacturing districts of England
is rapidly increasing. As the pressure
increases through the stopping of more
mills, the working classes from the coun-
try villages and towns flock to Manches-
ter and the larger centres of Industry in
great numbers, to ask aims in the streets
and beg from door to door. Great NUM-
bers 60 through the towns in groups, sing
ing such songs as they know, or moro
commonly singing sacred music, and pick
up good deal OF money. Many OF these
persons, i. is said, get money from private
funds subscribed IN their own neighbor>
hood. One firm in the country lately
employing two thousand persons now
gives three days wages per week, though
not employing them.
