Cows IN THE srREET.-There is no end to
the inconvenience and damage which comes
from cattle being allowed to run in the street.
We saw an illustration this morning. A
gate had been necessarily open during the
afternoon and while the laborer's eye was
occupied, strolling cow lodged IN and was
out Of sight when the gate was closed. The
consequence was the destruction OF large
patch of valuable cabbagcs-thc perverse

spread their mischief as widely as pOssible)

The CONVENIENT STABLES AT WAsHISs-
ToN.-In addition to the immense stables al
ready in use, several new ones are being
built in various parts of the city one ofwhieh
embraces within its enclosure twenty-six
acres. These are to be fitted up in the best
manner with every convenience, and. with
those now occupied, will accommodate, by
economizing space, over twenty thousand
horses Every three days the horses are all
inspected and the sick sent to the hospitals.
Should there be any suffering from infectious
Disorders they are sent across the river to
stables near Arlington, where, if cure can
not be effected, they are shot. The broken
down horses sent in from the army are ire
quently recruited up, and some of them re-
turned TO the front; Others are put IN the
trains, and those pronounced incurable either
condemned and sold at public auction (bring
ing from fifty cents TO five dollars apiece) or
shot. Forty men are employed burying dead
horses on the Virginia side. and hundreds of
acres have already been converted into vast
cemetery, across which, when the shadows
are flying, the long low ridges seem to roll
like the swells of the sea. Tie stables for
the mules are arranged similarly to those of
the horses, and will accommodate about two
thousand. Here the same regulations con-
cerning cleanliness, &c, are observed, and
the fat, sleek appearance Of the animals well
attests the luxuriance of their living. Near
these stables are large yards into which the
horses and mules are turned loose for exer-
cise, and in pleasant weather it is not unusu-
al 10 see herd charging round the lot. as if

The REVIVAL OF BrsNEss.-A glance at the
advertising columns of the HERALD will chow
the rapid revival Of business in this city. We
published yesterday thirty-three columns Of
advertisements. This is equal to our average
during the most prosperous business seasons.
Two facts are demonstrated by this increasing
demand upon our space: FIRST that the people
Of New York are too full Of pluck and goahead-
ativeness to allow themselves to be discouraged
in business even during such a war as this; and
second, that advertisers are now concentrating
their notices upon the newspaper which has the
largest and most influential circulation OF any
journal In the country. We have the most
readers, and naturally receive the most adver-
tisements.

THE ARMY or THE PorokAc.-We hear the
most gratifying reports Of the improved physi-

spirit of the Army of the Potomac. General
Hooker, by his personal attendance to the wants
Of his men, and by the fresh soft bread and
vegetables with which he is supplying them, is
reducing his sick list and increasing his efYee-
tives, while by his example Of cheerfulness and
confidence he is dnusing the same spirit, in his
behalf, throughout his army. All accounts as
sure us that the Army Of the Potomac only asks
for dry, windy day or two in order to move
forward to terrible reckoning with the enemy.

Tine LONDON PRxss on run CHARI.Esr0k BLOCK
ADE.-It Is 10 be remarked that the London
journals have shown NO favor 10 the rebels a.
regards the reported raising bg them Of our
blockade Of the port Of Charleston. We were
prepared to find the English pursuing upon this
question exactly the course they have taken.
IT is not to the interest of Great Britain--a for
midable maritime Power-that bockades should
be lightly raised. They have all interest In not
allowing such precedent to obtain. Hence the
rebels have met with no sympathy from them
on the score Of the raid they made against
our blockading squadron The English jour
nails most clearly assert that there can exist no
possible necessity for our government to notify
neutral States of resumption Of the blockade,
az in truth 1t was never raised. The London
Times puts a most effectual damper upon the
hopes Of the rebels by stating that there was
not even an intermission in the blockade, as at
no time during the Slst Of January could any
neutral ships have got into Charleston, while ON
the lst of February there were over twen-
ty federal war vessels off that port. Tho
organ Of Palmerston is quite as afirma-
tive upon this. subject as tho Times, and
states positively that the British govern
ment could not possibly take any view of the
matter save that the blockade had never been
raised. All these arguments we were prepared
to see England use, as upon the subject Of
blockades, her great weapon in case Of war, She
is certain to be most touchy. Where the rebels
have the interests of England on their side they
are sure of her avowsd sympathy; but in all
other cases she will surely decide against them.
This ends the Beauregard and Ingraham fzzle,
and will teach the rebels what British sympathy
is worth.

THE Loss OF THE INDIANoLA.-The capture
of the Indianola gunboat below Vicksburg by
the rebels. is severe loss to us, in connection
with the loss Of the ram Queen Of the West q
few days before. With these two vessels two
Of the very best Of Admiral Porters sqiadron),
and with one or two of their own, the rebels
may push down TO Baton Rouge, and do
world Of mischief unless prevented by the
speedy capture Of Vicksburg. or by the running
Of the gauntlet Of rebel batteries by Admiral
Porter's feet. Even then the rebels may so
place their captured boats under the protection
of their shore batteries as to render the enter
prise of a recapture extremely hazardous. The
only alternative now remaining, as it appears
to MS, is the capture Of vicksburg, in order to
recover these lost boats, and 10 render Baton
Rouge. and even New Orleans, secure against o
desperate rebel raid by water.
