From The sixteenth Regiment.

NEW York, Oct. 81, 1862.
FRIENp SWAIN Perhaps the thou
sands of dear ones left behind, may be
pleased TO hear voice sent backward from
the gallant 10th, on its outward march from
the hills and wales Of the Green Mountain
State 10 the bloody fields of Virginia. The
regiment, the last of Vermont's quota, ar
rived in this city, on board Of the Continen-
tai, at s A. NJ, Saturday, under Command
of Col. Veazey. and departed at / A d.,
by the Delaware and Raritan route, for
Washington. A gayer company of" bonld
soier bows" ii has not been my fortune TO
see pass through here en- route for the war
The Boys were all in the best of spirits and
the most perfect confidence and good feel
ings seemed TO exist between the officers
and men. They leit here on board of two
boats, and as the boat carrying the first de.
| tachment was about TO leave. the talented
and swees-voiced Drum Major Of the regi-
menf, G. NJ. Clark, stood upon the upper
deck and sang patriotic song 10 the ad-
miring crowd upon the wharf. He was "as-
sisted in the chorus by the Falstafiiau
drummer, lof the Springfield Co.-ED.
who was reported by his comrades to have
knocked one of the heads out of his drum
in order that he might use it as a trunk
Il Many of the regiment he'd friends il
New York, who came to bid them vel
come and God-speed. Several ladie
were present to greet friends or relative
among the Boys, some of whom received
perhaps, their last kiss from Beauty's lips
Father Abraham, grant that they may liv
10 receive many more such! Regrets wer
expressed by both soldiers and civilian
that the regiment could not remain over IN
til Monday; but orders were imperative
: and go it must, as 80 It did, with high hope
and happy hearts to restore the unity OF TIL
! distracted land. Some hearts that bec
D high that day win never more bound at tn
: sight of their native hills. God grant tha
!, their blood be not shed in vain II. w.

AMENDING THE CITY CHATTER

So many objections wero raised against the
proposed amendments to our City Charter, that
modified bill has been substituted in Com
the opposition which would have proved SO
fatal to its predecessor had it been pressed for
passage. The Boards Of COuncilmen and Alder
men are not interfered with, except to provide
for filling vacancies without resorting to the
expense and delay of a special election; officers
Of the Corporation are also strngently re-
strcted to the serving Of one master only-so
that, under the Charter now proposed, it will
not be possible as heretofore, for an employee
of the city to hold at the came time several
snecures under the County, State, aud Federal
Governments. The Department of Finance is
considerably extended, and its head elected by
the people 40 now. All other Heads Of De-
partments, and Chiefs of Bureaus, are made
appointablo by the Mayor, with the concur
renee Of the Aldermen. provided the latter
select the first or second Of the nominees; if
they reject both, then the third nomination is
equivalent to Oh appointment. We hold that
the Mayor should, as the responsible head of the
City Government, be held accountable for the
short comngs of his subordnates, and that,
therefore. no ought to be able to make and
break them. BY no other course can the end
sought be attained Tbs chances are ten to
one that the first man nominated, and it is
doubtful if the Mayor would play his best card
first would be confirmed, for "tbe ring" would
be pretty sure to make the best terms they
could with him at once. Better vest tho re-
quisite power in the Mayor without reserve
and put an end TO the corrupt combinations
which have too long disgraced the City Gov.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The splendid victory in Arkansas, the official
report of which has reached us, is fully treated
in another article. Ths, In connection with
the retreat of the Rebels from their positions,
made all faces yesterday to shine, and caused
all tho bunting in town to be fusg to the
breeze. The evacuation Of Manassas, in so far
as il shows that the Rebels are really dis
heartened, is received with JOY; it causes much
cbagrp, however, to those who would have
been glad to cbastise the traitors who have
cost us 90 much. On Thursday morning, our
troops entered and occupied Manassas, from
which place. as it is now generally under
stood, the Rebels began to retire three
weeks and moro ago. They left behind
them at the last great quantity OF
hospital and commissary stores, clothing,
equipments, baggage wagons, locomotives, cars,
tents, aubuances. The forts there are OF
great strength, but the guns are removed from
them. The place had excellent acconmoda-
tons for an army Of 100000. 1t is believed
that the enemy has retired to Gordonsvile
Junction, q point where the Virginia Central
Joins the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, thus
placing themselves where they can fall still
back upon Richmond at short notice. Con-
corning the time at which the evacuation OF
Manassas began there 10 some conflict OF
opinion, though the weight Of testimony shows
that it has been . work of some weeks. The
whole subject will doubtless be thoroughly IN
vestgated.
From Leesburg we hear that Gen. Geary
yesterday made q reconnaissance southwark;
the trail of the retreating Rebels was marked
by the ruins of granaries, hay-stacks, and
crops of various sorts. Gen. Geary and some
Of his officers recently rode to Balls Bluff and
deceDtly inferred the remains of our soldiers,
who had barbarously been left unburied by the
Rebels.
We print this morning moro letters and news
items concerning the recent naval fight at
Hampton Roads. A partial list of casualties is
furnished. As the ships papers went down
with the Cumberland it is impossible to ascer-
tain the names of the lost. Full and accurate
lists will soon appear. 1t is not known how
seriously the Merrimac is injured; the stories
even from Union sources, are conflicting.
The slowness with which she returned
to Norfolk, however, would seem to indicate
serious injuries. Lieut.. Selfridge, late of the
Cumberland has been placed In command Of
the Monitor; Lieut.. Wordsn, tho gallant hero
Of the recent Gsb.. though still laid up with
bis wounds. is doing Well. and will doubtless
