Nv DEAR ASSISTANT; Here am in Gotham
It's .ifuated precisely where 1t was when JEFF
noyi. made his last speech in the Senate Of the
United States, when be served a notice on the
,.untry that in the event Of a war between the
Two sections the Southern army would invade
'lc North seize her State capitals, capture and
sack her cities, towns and Villages, destroy
her manufactures, and make waste places Of
her agricultural districts. ! pledge you my
word my dear Mr.. Assistant, that on the entire
route from the National Capital to this great
,ommercial emporium there Is not the sllghtost
v"sible evidence that JeI. has kept his word.

have read somewhere, In some Southern paper
come time ago, or subsequently TO that time, Il
ra!uE now it was subsequently, a state
laeat that the SOUh had been invaded by
the NortbsrR army; that her sovereign State
capitals had been seized; that her rebellious
,!Les, Villages, and towns had been sacked
that her manufactures (few and far between)
had been destroyed, and her agricultural dis
,ricts, beneath the tread Of Northern legions
had become waste places. | have also seen 1t
stated, in some Southern paper, lately, that
s,sry S9nhsrH port Is c6sctivsly 5lockadsd By The
5Geis 5T he North; that every rebellious State
has been invaded by the Yankees, who carry
the nag and take steps to the music of the
Cnlon;" that the late Senatorial Notary Pub
lie, O. d. now Commander in Chief Of the
Southern invoding % army, has not driven the
Yankees from a single invaded State, nor re-
taken q single captured city, and that while
starvation stares the people Of the south In the

York city are concerned, at least.
There is no rebellion here-nothiug that
looks like a rebellion. A magnificent peace

satisfied. l was on Broadway this forenoon
and saw New York go down town to Wal
street. 1t reminded me of a fashionable funeral
where those who walk In the procession hav
an eye to business. They attend for effect an
don't even know or care whose remains are Il
the hearse. The east (shady) side OF Broadwa
was crowded for hours with a stream Of mer
in business attire, going down town.
In the afternoon saw New York go up tow
10 dinner. The west (shady) side Of Broadwa
was thronged with dense concourse of huma
beings upward bound. But the scene was yer
unlike that witnessed in the morning. 1t wa
more attractive, being more variegated an
beautiful. The better halves and daughters
the metropolis had walked half way down tow
to meet the other half. And such a meeting
Goodness gracious You should have seen Il
two currents when they came together. 1t WI
like the mIngling of two drops of quicksilver
each disappeared in the other-the two Gu
rents blended into one-making perfect rail-
bow from the Park to Union Square.
assure you, my dear Assistant, there is
rebellion here. 1t is true, am but twelve hour
ride from the fortified capital Of the nation, b
tho people here know nothing aboutlt. Ever

street Jew, who has lost his last dollar on Il
fallof gold. There seems to be plenty Of none

cotton goods, that he could nnd In the Amel
can market. The subse4 uent magnificent nj
itary and naval operations Of Grant and Bank
snd Porter and Farragut on the Mississippi
dispeled the commercial cloud of Chancellor

Il is now said that Stewart will lose at lea

cllcoes went begging.
Last week Fernando Wood made funr
record. On Sunday Gone week ago yesterday
he dined with Mr.. James Gordon Bennett,
the Herald, at the latter's Princely reSidenc
on Fort Washington. 1t is proper to pass ov
what occurred there except to request the read
