Operations of EmiRrant ROarding-
House KeePers-A new measure OF
Protection

Operations of Emigrant ROarCiing-
House keepers-A new measure Of
Protection
Of the emigrants from Europe who come
to this country to serve in the army, at
least one hundred each week are taken out
of the city by emigrant clearinghouse
keepers and enlisted in the cities of New
England or elsewhere, the boarding-house
keepers receiving larger price for their
services rs agents than is paid them here.
This business is carried on by a very large
number of persons, though it is popularity
understood to be against the law, which
prescribes punishment by fine or impris-
onment for pursuading or inducing "any
resident of this state to enlist in any
other state, or to leave this state for the
purpose of enlisting.
There is, however, some grounds for diff
ference of opinion as to whether the aliens
generally recently-landed lemigrants-
who are the persons mostly taken from
the city, can legally be inclnded in the
term PRESIDENTS" 1t is held to be very
doubtful ifthe state law can be made 10
include any persons who do not owe mil
itary service here.
The boarding house keepers operate
more pubCJudlly ludu any VI l~Iudp AZ
other classes of recruit-runners or agents
Many Of the former have permits to go
into Castle Gardens in search of board
ers; and considerable portion Of these
boarders, who are taught to expect exorbit-
ant wages for their labor, and who fail to
obtain embloymant at high rates, are in
duced by the ample bounties to enter the
ranks After obtaining two or three, or
more recruits, the Landlord or
somebody for him, pays for tickets to
Boston or elsewhere, and taking his men
with him, realizes profit Of several hun
dred ollars by the operation.
Agents from other States and towns in
this State are constantly here, and are do
ing what they can to obtain recruits
| They usually work with the runners of
this city, and many of these agents have
regular contracts with boarding-house
keepers and saloon keepers. The captains
of vessels arriving here are approached
and instances are known of these officers
accompanying their passengers to the Of
fees Of the provost marshals. 1t is not to
be understood that the recruits are gen
erallv enlisted against their will; though
sharpers to whom they trust their inter
ests almost always. cheat them.
This wholesystem has been broken up
and the boarding-house keepers have come
to grief.

enroute to Quebec this P. N. She was
boarded by the News Yacht of the associ-
ated press and a summary of her news
obtained. Her dates are two days Letter.
The London Times city articles say the
advance of the Confederate loan to "A is
partially owing to adVices received by
siVeculators. The London Daily News
s5 We that the floating supply
of Confederate Bonds is
Diminishing owing to their being absorbed
BY blockade runners for the purchase of
cotton.
1t was reported that the KearsBrge and
Florida had an engagement off Jersey Ju-
" 18th, that the kearsarge was disabled
and had to put into Cory and that the
Florida came up and waited off Cory to re-
new the engagement.
4 letter from Calais says that the Con
federate steamer Rappahannock at that
port lately had judgment pronounced
against her. The London Times pub
fishes details of the late disaster t - the
British troops in New leland. 1t says
it was peculiarly disgraceful aud perhaps
unprecedent. The men were surprised
and fed while nearly all their officers
were killed or wounded in heroic efforts
to rally them.

FROM THE FRONT.

The Official bulletins given elsewhere show
that there have been no military operations OF
importance carried on for the last three days,
mainly on account Of the condition of the roads
The diminishing on Saturday and Sunday morn
ing was for choice Of position on our lett center
On Saturday the enemy, by sudden dash, got
position from which it was determined to
dislodge them, and in the evening column,
Led by Gen Ayres' brigade, was sent to regain
it which was done without serious loss, and a
proper force put in position to hold the ground
gained.
The roads are described as in frightfui con-
diticn, delaying the progress of the reinforce
ments going TO Grant, very few Of whom had
reached him up to yesterday morning, but by
this time they must have joined him in sufficient
numbers to form very handsome addition to
his army.
1t Is believed that some reinforcements are
Reaching Lee, but not in any degree common
surate with his needs, and there Is no doubt
from the weakness shown by the Confederates
at other points in the Confederacy where they
are being pressed that pretty nearly the ex-
men had been hurried up to Lees support
previous to Grants advance, leaving very
little reserve for him.
Rdvices received from the Army of the Po-
tomac TO yesterday morning speak of the ex-
IRENE dific Guilty Of discovering the exact posi-
tio1 Of the enemy, who are very cautious and
have awaited themselves of the cover of dense
woods to conceal their operations-their pick
cts only beng seen.
We further learn that none of the prisoners
In passing from the front to Belle Plain made
their escape--so efficiently were they guarded
from headquarters.
Sunday wac spent as a day of rest through
out the army, but a small skirrnsh took place
before Its close.
1t is evident, from all accounts, that each
party is narrowly watching the other TO ascer-
tain ire position and probable movements OF
its opponent
