On Saturday last 500 ableoode1 young men left the
North Wall for New York. They he'd been collected
rom this city aud the suburban DISTRICTS aud we're
brought to the qlays in groups Of four fifteen or

oaired to do, and what they must do They are os
teasbly to work on the construction OF railway
for tbrSe months. The Whereabouts OF the railway we
have been unable to discover Their passag, clothes
aud ODD are paid for and they pomnaly allowed
iolar dsy until he expiration Of three mouths Their
accounts will be settled and the cost of their plage,
clothes and keep is TO b. deducted rom the money due
from tie quarters servics. When that teitlement is
msde the men may enlist in ae Federal armies if they
eas or if they prefer il, they may seek work: The
Nortbernsrs are a sharp pacpl, and they take good
care that the "three months men, must enlist in tie
Federal army to keep themselves from prison.
For on arriving a. New York the "emigrants' are
a. ed by thsmssl Ives either On some isa or in
s lated dspat. Wills there they musthuy food, wser,
Ooots aud lohipg They are charged ten dollars fer

Of every kind. Ii they have no morey, so much the
better. An accommodating dealer in greeabscks e.

There never devised more iniqu;tous scheme OF
