EAST SIDE QE RIVER
WEST SIDE OF RIVER.
Total from West side. .....240
Total from the County. -. 639

By reference to the above, which
we have from the Provost Marshal OF
the District, it will be at once seen
that the West side, with male pop
ulation liable to military duty, one
third larger, at least, than the East
side, is yet 159 behind it in number
of men furnished.
We trust that the West side
which we know is quite as loyal as
the East-will immediately take
steps to clear herself from the natur-
al imputation of lukewarmness in
the national cause. Let our town
ships take the matter in hand, and
rectify any deficiency which may ex
ist. AS a resident Of that side we
are personally interested, and hope
to see some effort made at once to fill
up our proportion Of men. The
East side is congratulating itself on
avoiding the draft, and why may
not the West side? Come on! Nov
is the time to enlist in gallant Go.

is now in town aiding in the work

The New York News having assailed
Mr.. Brooks for saying IN Congress that
slavery was dead, the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Express
(probahly in this case NJ. Brooks him
self, says:
"If Mr.. Ben Wood, in view Of his per-
sonal attacks upon 1lr. Brooks in his
newspaper, viii come back to Congress
and attend to business, he viii find that
there are but ten Democratic members
of the House who do not in principle
and substance agree with what Mr..
Brooks said, viz: that as a FACT, be 1t
right or wrong, and as FACT 70 Be re-
eogni=ed and accepted, as much as daylight
or darkness, the slavery institution IS
dead-dead north, by the votes and
action ofsuch men in the border States
as Reyerdy johnson, Senator Hicks, of
Marvland-such men as Clay and Blair,
of Missouri, and other border States all
about; dead South, by the CONSUMPTION
of free negres there into the rebel army,
and by the enlistment of 10000 slaves
as working soldiers. When Dir. Wood
returns to business he viii learn all
that"
There are about eighty members Of
Congress who call themselves Demo
Gratis, though, according to the New
York News, the Cincinnati Enquirer
and their feeble echo in Chicago, seven
eighths of them are either insane or
abolitionists The other one-eightb,
according to these pretending Demo
cratic "organs," constitute the entire
/ Congressional representation of the
Democratic party. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that Two Bottles should
be considered quite enough to 60 round.

How Eggs should be Boiled.

From the Norfolk, Va, New Regime.l
Everybody knows Mr.. Charles
''Forbes" Clafey, of the st. Nicholas
Hotel, New York, and with what grace
and courtesy he presides over the gen
tlemen's great parlor of that establish
ment--his tasty dress, the grand gold
chain, the London-made watch, las
true as the sun), the brilliant diamond
studs and the glittering ring on the lit
tie finger of the right hand He was
here last week attired in Ackerman's
best and decorated in Tiffaney's bright
est, and suffered with us, in common,
during the recent "cold snap" at the
Atlantic Hotel To Mr. Forbes Olaf
Iey's imagination, the Atlantic bitches.
He pronunced the beds hard, the tow
els course, the heating contrivances Of
the Inn bad, decidedly, and the ser
wants dull He never could get his
eggs done to suit him. On Friday last
he called Apollo an old darkey, and
stated his grievance. Here" said he
TO his servant, take my watch and
boil my eggs with it just three minutes"
"Yes, Massa, said Apollo, "Tlldo that
ar and so saying he bounded off TO the
kitchen. In due time he returned,
three eggs on one plate and the smok
ing watch and chain on another plate.
my God, man r shouted Mr.. Forbes
Galley, 'what have you doneT Jus
what de Massa toll me boil dem eggs
with it, jus tree minutes, as you said,
Massa. The guests saw what had
happened, and the table was in roar
of course. Apollo alone stood mute
II eseemed searching in his stupid i'm
agination for some solution of the sud-
den merriment of the breakfasting par
ty Dir Forbes Clafey could not re
frain from laughing at last, and turn
ing to his neighbor, he said Il am in
the condition of the profane man, the
tail-board of whose cart came out as
he was ascending the hill, and split
his potatoes There is no use in
swearing; / cannot do justice to the
subject" and so saying, he pocketed
his watch and proceeded to devour his
morning meal.
