The METROPOLIS IN SErTEMBsA. A.-Summer
has folded her garments about her, ami is gone.
Her last rose is in forists window some
where up Broadway. and may be had for six
pence. Fellows with intellectual jaundlce, 10
whom the summer is the only season of life,
who love ieafy silence and salad, green peas
and poetry at once, say that "the melancholy
days are Gomez but in the city We regard the
departure Of the summer differently. The end
OF August is the death OF death, and September
wakes us all up. We have been dull, very
dull True, we have had the draft-a little
row for day or two-and then sombre still
ness and stupid quiet Several times our mono
tony has been broken by great news; but that
sensation passes away rapidly. "Glory is like
a circle in the water" and the achievement il
forgotten AZ the last ripple dies out, or is per
haps laid away TO be better remembered
by and by. We have seen our neighbor's
windows persistently shut day after day and
week after week. We have seen bis dsorplatc
oxidized and dull, 50 that if we had not
known his name we could not have
told it from that of Snug, the Joiner
Large spiders have lived across Lis heyhoc.
Up and down our business streets there has
been lonely laziness Sprinlslers have
sprinkled and sweepers swept them in vain;
and burly porters have done the same for the
great stores that run through from street to
street; but customers justified their industry.
But September is here, and the spell Is over.
Crowds of people pass us on every hand who
enjoyed other scenes q few days ago; people
who are sunburned, not with the nut brown or
bronze that tells of the army, but with famil-
lar hue, eloquent of yachts, Of drives up and
down the handsome avenues whore the fash
ionable world has been, or Of wilder rambles,
rod in hand, up where the ice cold streams
dance through between the hills. We jostle the
returned cit everywhere, and the country mer-
chant eager for fall fashions Hotel coaches
90 through the streets with Peion on Ossa Of
baggage piled up behind. Our neighbor's win,
dows are open, his doorplate shines astonish-
ingly, and his three daughters contribute their
proportions to swell the throng on Broadway.
All is gayety and life once more, and the city
is pleasant place to be in.

Curious NEWSPAPER SCHEME.-Our Brooklyn
neighbors are evidently bent on acquiring for
themselves character for eccentricity. They
want to be everything at once and all by
turns" At one time they become crazy on
church building, at another on the erection Of
theatres. When they have put up more of
both than they need they become tired of their
toys and fly off at some other tangent. Their
present hobby is newspapers. One would
think, from the poverty-stricken aspect of those
they possess, that they had sufficient for their
intellectual requirements. But such is not the
case. Brooklyn must shine as pre-eminently
in the journalistic as she does in the church
and theatrical line. The new local organ ad-
yertised to appear this month is to accomplish
Of Churches is to become the second hub of the
universe. But that is not the most remarkable
feature Of the enterprise. The plan of manage
ment is something quite novel. No profes
sional Journalist Is to have anything to do with
it, the board of editors being composed of a
pet and dry goods importer, Yankee notions
dealer, gentleman from the Swamp" and a
lawyer These, If we mistake not are the same
enterprising individuals who, as directors of
the Brooklyn Academy of Music, SO unsuccess,
fully tried their hands a! managing singers and
ballet girls. W. wish them better luck with
their new experiment than they had with their
last. To frolicsome elderly gentlemen 1t may
not be as agreeable, but it has at least the ad-
vantage that 1t will breed no disturbances at
home

Inquiry Relative to the Cotton and

Ordered that q court of inquiry, con.
sisting OF three competent officers and a
rscorderybe organized to inquire and re-
port
First--Whethsr any and what officers
in service have been engaged or directly |
or indirectly participated in traffic in
Gotten Or other produce on the Missis-
sippi river or it's triouiaries, 10 what ex-
tent, under what circumstances, and with |
all the particulars OF the transaction.
a Whether any and what mill
AIRY officers have been granted license
or permits for trade, to whom, at what
tims, with all the particulars thereof.
Third-Whelher any and what milf
tary officers have used or permitted the
uss of Government transportation or
other public properly for private pur-
poses.
Fourth--ADd also to inquire and re
port u pom such other matters as may be
directed.
The court will meet and organize with
all convenient despatch at Cairo, and
hold their sessions at such places as
may be most convenient for the inyesri-
cation. They will prosecute with dill
/. genee the inquiry, aud make speedy re-
port BY order Of the a

e. D., TOWNSEND, Assistant Adj Gen.
-s The inquiries directed to be made by
y the Secretary Of War strike US as very
proper, and we trust that all the points
specified will be rigidly and honestly in
isvesiigated.
There is much reason to believe that
the pAtripiism Of some Of our officers
has been sorely tried by the prospect OF
dazzling aims in the Iuihern staple, and
that in some instances the temptation
has bcep too great to be resisted. Per-
Z hAps we ought to say thatthe patriotism
,u OF some officers has been too weak TO re-
sist it. II Is said that Cotton buyers
have been able 10 obtain passes through
lines which vera impossible to all 9TH

"a certainly room for suspecting that the
palms Of the officers in command have
been literally gilded,
Gold and silver, we know, are potent.
The Delphic oracle told PHLIP, of Mac
edon eight with silver weapons, and
athou shalt conquer the world"
sd Tho inquiry is not confined to the
Cotton trade, but TO "other traffic" We
have no doubt that an extension of the
. territo,fal limits Of the investigation,
would be very proper and result in good
Suppose for instance, Louisville be in :

until this Department DO overhauled, as
well as that Of the Mississippi. Have
military officers fused or permitted the
use OF Government transportation, or 9TH
er public property for private uses" in

brought to light and the offender and the
offence be corrected II no such offences
have been pcrpetrated, the proof Of The
fact will only reflect more credit upon the
parties concerned, for preserving their
integrity amid widespread corruption.

Tho Emancipation Proclamation has
effected one very important benefit for
our government: it has aroused the sym
pathies Of the people Of all Europe in
our behalf; especially Of Great Britain.
II is well known from intercepted
Southern official letters that the
violent articles 10 the London Times
against the Proclamation, were either
written by Southern rebels, or paid for
by Southern money. These are most
important facts to be pondered in con-
nsetion with Tho Proclamation.

England on sla cry.

The article copied from the Richmond
Eraminer in to-day's paper would indi-
cate that the rebels regard England as a
hopeless case, so far as rendering them
any real assistance is concerned. The
same rebel organ used TO tell its readers
that England deeply regretted her act of
Emancipation in her Indian Colonies, and
all the rebel journals in the land, from
the Charleston Mercury down 10 the n. Y.
Journal Of Commerce, repeated the declar-
alton. The Examiner now tells the truth,
10 a Il Of passion. The whole civilized
world, both on The Eastern and Western
Continent, are leagued together against
negro slavery. The South will not escape

quakes of AGITATION" by setting up a

The resolutions passed within the
last few weeks by the army of the Mis-
sissippi and the Cumberland, denoucing
tho Southern rebellion, and the factious
course Of the Northern Copperheads show
that the gallant soldiers Of the grand Union
army are, indeed, terribly in earnest"
in the work Of destroying treason and

shirkers may write home djsloyal letters,
but the glorious army is as enthusiastic,
and as resolute to sxterminate the last
relic Of the Southern rebellion, as when

Union shall be preserved though every
