Important from New YORK.

IL appears that a serious contro.
versy is going on between General
Wool and some of the military
officers of New York. It seems
that recently Gen. Wool issued
orders to the several commanding
officers Of the regiments forming
the whole militia Of the State to
report to him tho number in each
corps ready for duty, with other
particulars relative to their eff
cience, and the arms in their pos
session. The orders were quietly
served on these officers, and the
commandments of the regiments of
the second division responded by
presenting their reports to General
Wool. 1t is understood General
Wool informed them that he was
empowered by the General Gov
eminent to perform this duty.
Some of the regiments of the first
division reported to Gen. Wool,
but others boldly refused to do so,
on the ground that Gov. SEYMOUR
was legally the commander of the
forces Of the State.
Yesterday, General HALL, first
hearing Of this movement of Gen.
Wool Immediately proceeded to
the headquarters of the Comman-
der Of the Department of the East.
and bad lengthy interview with
Gen WooL, dnring which he en-
tered a vigorous protest in behalf
of the State forces against the or
der of the General, requiring them
to repo rtto him.
This new movement has created
some excitement in military cir
Giles, and the prevailing opinion
respecting it is, that it embodies a
design of the National Administra,
ton to place the military under
their control.
This appears to be renewal of
the controversy which took place
in the war of 1912 between Presi-
dent Madison, and the Blue-Light
Tories of Massachusetts, some of
whom refused to march beyond
the borders of their State. The
traitors of 1912 have some lineal
descendants, now living in New
Yorh.

the business Of catching soldiers sent NJ

Condition of Affairs at the South.

The following paragraphs from
Rebel letters recently captured,
give, no doubt, truthful accounts
of the misery the people are be.
ginning to endure. Letters like
these, from the sufferers them
selves, are the fittcst answers to
the comments of Rebel journals
and their sympathizers, that the
people of the South are as well off
now as they were at the com.
mencement Of The present war:
"Isn't this a terrible war? We are
heartily tired Of il, and yet no prospect
of peace / wish we were all with you.
Richmond is very much altered ant there IS
the greatest spirit Of e1tort'on among our once
liberal and hosphaJle community.
"By all means stay in Europe till there
is a much better state of things existing
in this country. This is my parting
word of advice, and prompted by good
reasons,

coffee, and sugar-only keeping a little

The Rebel Rams of No Value.

A correspondent Of the Philadel phia
Laqwrer, writing from the Savannah Riy-
or, speaks of some Of the rebel rams as
follows:
"The rebel ram Georgia is useless as
moving vessel, her engines being in so
crippled a condition that, with the ap-
plances they have, she cannot be repair

hard and fast aground, rs she does not
swing with the tide. llcr'armauont con-
sists Of five guns on each bfoadsidc, and
one at each end. The rebels acknowl-
edge that she can be used only as a float
ing battery, auxiliary to Fort Jackson,
and not as n ram.
"The Eingal is failure, and, like the
Georgia is turned about when they de-
sire to shit her position. The Georgia
now lies Off ST. Augustine Creek, having
full crew on board, who, like Micaw-
Der, are waiting for some thing TO

their batteries Of late, and, from appear
ances, one or two masked batteries have
been built"

ANswER-The member Of the

mediatoly address the authority
who has the power to investigate
the matter.

Bragg's Kentucky Campaign.

In dispatch from BENJAMIN to
SLIpELL and dated Oct. 2S, the fol-
lowing passage occurs:
"The President is for the moment
deeply engaged in military matters, and
in endeavOrs TO repair by new combina-
tions The evils resulting from the failure
Of the Kentucky compaign, which has
evcntua,ed in none of the happy conse-
ounces which we so confidently hoped.
The only gain has been the capture Of a
very large amount of supplies"
As this is the opinion of the
Confederate Secretary Of War
privately expressed to a friend in
Europe, but unluckily intercepted
on its way, it may be taken as the
opinion really entertained of that
noted campaign, hy the Conteder

The most absurd thing in the
world is for a rebel to to say that
he wants peace. He wouldn't
have peace if the Confederacy was
established and the North annihil-
ated. Secession would consume
the bowels of the Confedcracy,
like a raging fever. One might
as well ask for peace in a VOLTS
den.

We suppose we shall have some
thing like regular Eastern Mail
henceforth, from the following par
agraph in the Louisville Democrat
Of Sunday:
We are glad to learn that the difficulty
between the Government and the Louis

to the transportation of the mails, has
been settled, an agreement having been
made TO transmit the mails regularly over
the main road and all its branches.

con the 22d of May, 1856, at ST.
Adams, was fought the first battle of
those dreadful wars, which for thirty
years deluged England in blood, tore
asunder the dearest ties Of social life,
and nurtured feelings of revenge and a
ierocity Of character, which could
scarcely find a parallel, even in the
pagan days Of England's history"
Thus writes an English historian.

They are by nature mcnials, and fitted

open and fragrant instruction against
their natural lords and masters, the
gentlemen of tho South. In the exercise
of their assumed privileges, they deport
themselves with all the extrayagsnt airs,
the insolence, the cruelty, the cowardice
and love of rapine, which have ever
characterized the revolt of slaves. The
former lcniency of their masters only
serves to aggravate the ferooity Of their
nature.
When they are again reduced to sub
lection and taught to know their place,
we must take care to put such trammels
abont them that they will never have an
opportunity to play their tricks again.
Menials' mental duties ="
The Chivalry have TO depend on
these menials for the clothes which
they wear, for the coaches which
they ride in, for cars and steam
boats which they travel in, and
for nearly all the luxuries and
comforts of life. The quotation Of
the Wig is valuable, as showing
the profound contempt which the
Cotton Aristocracy have for labor.
Their creed is that gentlemen
never work, and that labor is de-
grading and dishonorable. How
