If there is any one thing for which Yankees
are more universally distinguished than an
other, it is grit" Reverse after reverse
may occur to our armies in the tield-as they
may to individuals at home-without serious
ly disturbing that predominant characteristic
of the national mind, which never gives up
even to the most untoward circumstances.
Without pretending that we have been re-
markable successful, of late, in the great
contest now waging with the rebellion, and
without conceding that we have been serious
ly injured by recent events, we must still al
low that we have not seen those results that
we expected.
In the face of gigantic Encouragement
discouragements which would have appalled,
many peoples-we find the brave old spirit of
logged determination sustaining and uphold
ing our citizens in the prosecution of this
most holy war against treason. In no
way is this better shown than in the wonder
fully liberal subscriptions to the ive-twenty
government bonds, which are taken by people
of all classes, all over the country, more
freely than they would have been year ago.
Aside from its value as an indication of the
''pluck' of the people, this spontaneous out
burst of patriotic confidence in the stability of
the government, is of great value. Say what
we may, there is no doubt that when you
touch the pocket of the people, you reach the
most sensitive part, and such reliance in the
power of the United States as we now see
coming as it does from the most intelligent
and the best informed men of the land, is of
great value.
The men who have the most at stake have
the most confidence in the triumph of the
government. They are showing it from day
to day. The good old Yankee pluck still
holds out, and we shall practically learn that
"Holdfastis the best dog" SO gigantic re-
bellion as the present was never speedily put
down; SO great a war never had a short and
quick conclusion. Trusting, then, in our
force, in our immense power for continued
exertion, in the justice Of our cause, and in
the God of battles, no other course is left lis
but to persistently pursue the contest to the
end. We shall conquer peace and when
that is done, Yankee grit will have indicated
itself.

Gross Outrage on Sick and Wounded
Soldiers.
TEEEY ARE CARED FOK AT THE
NEW ENaLANO ROOMS.

New YORK, May l5.-The steamer Cos
mopolitan, which arrived on Wednesday,
from Hilton Head, brought large number of
discharged soldiers from that department,
nearly all of whom are sick, disabled or
wounded Most of them were taken to Da-
vids Island, where, upon examination of their
papers, it was found that they were discharged
from the United States service, but that their
other papers were imperfect; i. e., not one of
them signed by the surgeon at Hilton Head,
consequently, although the papers were all
filled out, needing nothing but this signature,
these poor fellows cannot obtain their pay
from the paymaster, neither can they obtain
transportation to their homes, or rations, until
documents are returned to Hilton Head, there
rectitied, and again returned here. hun
dred and seventy OF these men were brought
to the New England rooms, 1874 Broadway,
to-day, where they were promptly received
and cared for. Were it not for the existence
of this excellent institution, they would have
been thrown upon such charity as could have
been obtained in the streets.
The superintendent OF the rooms, Colonel
Howe, Immediately took steps TO send them
to their homes, and, with the assistance Of the
agency Of the war protective claim associa-
ton, the total amount of each soldiers ac-
count will be collected and RENTED to them,
giving each a certified check therefore. Some
200 still remained at Davids Island, who will
be brought to the New England rooms Satur-
day or Monday, for whom tine same kind Of
fees will be performed. The men embrace
all branches Of the service, and are from ev-
cry loyal stationary of them heads Of fami-
lies, and the deprivation of their pay for a
month or more will be felt with great severity.
The person guilty Of such direiction OF
duty has committed an act of gross injustice
to these sick and disabled men, and their
needy and anxious families, and one which
the government will not be slow to rebuke
with just severity. The facts will be for,
Warded to the nrnner authorities.

THERE was a serious mutiny among the
soldiers at camp Sprague, Staten Island, on
Wednesday, the 18th. The Burnside Rifles"
undertook to escape from the barracks in
body, and were only prevented after one of
their number had been killed, and two or three
wounded. Col. Levy, commanding the post,
was hit by a stone, and severely bruised, but,
speedily recovering from the effects of the
blow, seized his assailant by the throat, and
put him in irons. Twenty eight men escaped,
all of whom were subsequently captured. In
the evening the stables next the hospital were
fred, but the flames were extinguished with
out great damage. But for the prompness
and courage of the officers in command of the
camp, the mutiny would have been success
full, and one of the finest military stations in
the country would have been destroyed.
