The Herald gives lugubrious report of the progress,
of recruiting in Brooklyn. II says;
There seems to be quite desire for excitement in
the sister city recently, almost everybody has got il
into his head that it will he incumbent upon the autho-
rites to order draft. Acting upon this dea the DIFF
ferent registers of the fire companies are becoming
filled up with amazing CELEBRITY, and sums of money TO
rather handsome amount being freely offered by
citizens for fire badges. Well, if people would but
look into facts according 10 all present appearances,
they would find it exceedingly foolish to entertain such
feelings Although Brooklyn has deserved the title Of
the City of Churches, by of her numerous edh
ces of the religious stripe yet it is to be hoped that she
will not likewise deserve the title of the City Of Cow.
ards There is the slightest necessity for this fear
of draft. There hundreds and thousands Of men
ready and willing to hurry into the ranks of the army
when everything in connection with the regulation OF
the same is completed.
The City Clerks Office in the City Hall has been
crowded daily with persons DESTROYS OF finding out whe.
Their their names inscribed upon the enrolment list
of the State militia These people even fall back from
Joining their home organizations, and 1t is shame
and sin for them to do so. Excuses Of the most tr-
vial nature are made, and if draft does take place
Brooklyn will turn out 70 be Of the most unhealthy
localities in this section Of the country.

At a war meeting recently held in Queens County,
New York, the following resolutions were read and
adopted:
ResoIred That in this crisis Of counry's fate it
becomes to iorego all mere party considerations,
and, forgetting that We were ever politicians, become
patriots in the best sense Of the word.
Rssolrtd That believe il 10 be the duty Of the
government, by every means known 10 warfare, TO sub
jugae all Rebellion TO the lawful authority Of the
stution.
RssOIred, That will hereafter know no political
distinctions among men, except that of loyalis and
traitor and that treason shall include not alone the
act, but the cowardly wish and the disIoyal SEN
timent
Rssolr,d, That, until the be ended in the utter
determination of treason and traitors, the people of
Queens county accept their motto, "Whosoeyer not
for us now is against US, and that halfhesrted sup
port of the government is but shallow pretext Of by
pocrsy and will receive, it deserves, our scorn and
contempt.
Resolred That the voice of the first city in
try finds responsive echo in IFS ad accent rural neigh
borhood, and, with New York, declare it to be
deliberate and solemn conviction that il IS far better
every rebel should perish than that more loyal sol

THE FRENCH FLEET IN THE GULF.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says:
1t is stated on good authority that when the news of
the departure of the three iron-cad rigates-a Cou-
rome, Llnyincible and La Normandie--for the Gulf
OF Mexico together with several wooden frgales and
lineof-battIe Ships reached Washington Secretary
OF State, Mr.. Seward, wrote Immediately to the French
government, and made strong remonstrances against
the presence in the vicinity of the United States, of
such formidable fleet. Mr. Seward gave as the rea-
son for his protest that the Mexican expedition being
of too little consequence 10 justify the sending of such
a tremendous armament in American waters, the Ame-
rcan government could not help thinking that it is des
tined to act against the United States. II would in
consequence, ask from the French government an ex-
PLANTATION on that subject.
