Our HorELs.-There are not sufficient nun-
Der OF hotels in New York to accommodate the
mass Of people who crowd to this gay metro
polls. All our hotels and boarding houses are
filed, and, although prices have risen, they are
importuned for further accommodation. In
view of this influx of travellers we must have
new and more magnificent hotels. There
should be number erected still further up
town. The city is spreading like giant, and
we must keep pace with this immense grlk 9TH.
London and Paris have now gone ahead Of
us in erecting large and magnificent hotels.
We must not remain behindhand. There is
patronage enough here for o new hotel, how
ever large and grand 1t may be, and the sooner
one is erected that will eclipse all similar
places, either here or abroad, the better will il
be both for the public and those interested In

THE VOLUNTEERS ON RKER's ISLAND. I'VE had
occasion lately to comment in severe terms
on the manner in which the volunteers on
Rikef's Island are treated by those having
charge Of them The statements that we made
were either denied or attempted to be explained
away. Since the contradiction appeared We
have been overwhelmed with letters from
volunteers oorroboratng all that we asserted.
In these communications we have the ono
general complaint that the colored soldiers arc
treated much better than the white volunteers.
The former are furnished with Sibley tents,
each having q small stove, whilst the white
soldiers are quartered in what the veterans oall
"a tents" made of twilled muslin, seven feet
square, holding six men lying spoon-fashion
and packed tight. The drinking water in the
well Is frozen, and ell that is consumed in this
way and for cooking has to be brought from
the city, and Is put up in dirty oil casks. For
several days the men went without coffee for
want Of water to make it with, and the
cooking had to be done with the salt
water taken from the river. 1t is stated,
in addition that only one bundle Of straw
is allowed to every six men to sleep
upon, which is entirely insufficient to protect
them from the dampness of the earth. If these
complaints are we'll founded they are sufficient
to account for the fact that nearly half the men
on the island are sick and unfit for duty We
are aware, Of course, that volunteers must be
prepared to put up with some hardships from
the outset but we cannot see the policy Of
subjecting them to unnecessary privations
Still less can we find any justification for ex-
posing them at 80 short distance from the city
to extortions and bad treatment. Of course there
may be some exaggeratiou in the statements
that have reached us; but they come to us
from too many sources for them not to be in
the main correct. It will not do for the au-
thorites to disregard them after what has oc-
Cured in relation to the Park Barracks. Tho
Provost Marshal General, or whoever has
control over the authorities on the island,
should order an investigation, and punish thoss
who are responsible for SO shameful q state Of
things. Unless this be done promptly 1t Wilt
have very bad effect and will tend greatly to
discourage enlistments

Our PLACES OF AMusEMENT-New York has
never been SO gay, so exsravagant, as in these
days Of war and strife. High prices seem but
to have increased the demand for luxuries, and,
to Judge from the immense crowds which ill
nightly our theatres and concert rooms, money
was never so plentiful or 90 lavishly expended
In this city and Brooklyn there are some thirty
five or forty places Of amusement, and one and
all turn away numbsYs Of people each evening,
being nlled 70 replsAon. II is computed that
in Paris there are not less than eighty thousand

Re-EnIis1naeDts,

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking of
the announcement of the re-enIistment
of SO many Union troops for the war.
says:
"The action Of the enemy in this mat
ter is important to us. The preservation
Of this organization shows that they in
tend to move forward at the earliest prae-
ticable moment in the Spring. If they
will not sacrifice an organization which
has stood the ordeal of two years cam
paigning, can we afford to hazard the ex-
pertinent of opening the spring campaign
under officers recently organized, with
companies unSccustomed TO ASSOCIATION
and men strangers to each other We
shall need every energy of national de-
fense for the spring campaign. Rich
mond will, in all probability, be ap-
preached from the RsppahannOek as we'll
as from the~Black Water. In northern
Georgia the fate of Atlanta, and in South
Carolina that of Charleston and Savan-
nah; in North Carolina that of Whining
ton, all must be decided in the spring"
TIE Richmond Sentinel Of the 18th
in an editorial says:
"To the timid the new born year
lowers gloomily; to the prudent there ap-
pears cause for anxious solicitude, while
even heroism itself sees that the tug Of
war, the crisis of the struggle is upon US
and that we must. prepare ourselves for
the tremendous shock. We cannot con-
template the coming next, and fourth
campaign Of the pending war without
solicitude. We shall be strongly pressed
by the enemy. They are making busy
preparations. They are buying mer-
cenaries for the fight, as men buy sheep
for the shambles. They are paying
bounties the half of which the world
never heard Of before. They are spend
ing money with . reckless profusiOn
that contrasts strangely with their native
paFsimOny.
"0ur enemies, too, viii commence the
next campaign with some advantages of
position, which they did not have at the
beginning Of 1863 They will begin at
Chattanooga instead Of Nashville; at
Vicksburg instead Of Memphis. They
come flushed, also, with wild hopes, and
they are animated with increasee auo-
gance."
