GAMBLING IN SARAToGA.--"B urleigh"
in one of his letters to the Boston
Journal writes az follows from Sara
toga: Eq aa
Near the United States Hotel is
large double-brick house. 1t is kept
by Morrissey and is, out of New York,
the largest gambling house in the
country 1t bears the name of "Club
House, and many public men who
hold the repute and life of men in
their hands are said to board there.
But thousands are lost and won in
that quiet retreat. Morrissey can be
seen at any time at the United States,
dressed in style, short, athletic, pow
erful man, quiet and Of few words.
He care TO New York in 1852, from
Troy. He was then fighter, poor,
drunken and brutal He came TO
whip Bill Poole and his party to whom
he bore deadly hate. He was en-
gagged to protect the ballot boxes in
a ward election. He then arranged
the fight with Sullivan, and became
the champion Of the fancy. He has
made money--is said to be worth
$500, 000-is a great stock operator,
and keeps several of the largest gamb-
ling houses in the city Of New York.
He is steady man now, drinks moth
ing, and does not gamble himself. He
has lease of the Race Track for the
races, and brings up at his own ex-
pense detectives from New York to
keep pickpockets away and preserve
good order.
All around this Club House" are
gambling tables all open to the eye.
A room is selected, small semi-circu-
lar table bound with green baize, tok-
ems to represent coin, four men to run
the machine, all the dupes that can
be induced to sit down, with about 10
or 20 who play against the bank, but
all really in the ring, with an apparent
fairness in the mode. but 80 conducted
that nine chances 90. ten the bank
must win and the person lose. Here
from early morn, all the day long, till
the small hours tell that midnight has
gone. men sit and squander money
and character. Scarcely word is
spoken, and all that is in subdued
tone, and the game runs on carrying
untold wealth INTO the till of the bank,
and despair into the heart and frenzy
into the eye of the loser. Clerks, sons
of noble mothers, officers who have
fought brayely for the nation, young
husbands and fathers, are carried over
this moral cataract of Niagara and
are seen no more.

The New CALL--It is desirable to
secure as large proportion of three
years men as possible under the new
call for volunteers. There is no ques-
ton among military men as to the
terms The A,my and Navy Journal,
which is good authority on the subject,
says - soh
"The first part of recruits term is
wasted,in learning his duty7-in learn
ing how to be soldier This draft,
however, looking both at the time and
the numbers, is based ON the obvious
assumption that the war will be ended
in fftyltwo weeks, if at all for it's num-
bers are 50 vast as to cause no little
complaint at future day. should
100000 troops be SO badly economical
as not to substantially break an oppo-
nent whose armies we outnumber now.
But it is usually unsafe to speculate ON
time in such matters, as sad experience
has taught. Our future reinforce
ments should be applied steadily, and
in such numbers as may be called
for-not in "A sudden rush OF a new
and raw levy of Immense numbers 1t
is not the rally to arms of a million six
months men or of "every e-bodied
man in the country" that is going to
crush the rebellion by dead weight.
1t is rather constantly filling up the
army to that level OF utility which its
commander has discovered. For such
II purpose, men may be wanted, not,
perhaps, all within few months, but
at all times until the rebellion is over.
1t is fortunately true, however, that,
under the operation of the draft, many
volunteers for three years will be se-
cured. 1t is beginning also TO be evil
dent that the summer campaign" will
be made winter campaign rs well, il
necessary, that IL will have no close
without decisive result. There may
be intervals of rest, and diversion here
and there, but the army has gone to
Richmond for no purpose, and with no
dream, but to take the city, be it next
month or next year. sdt ~,
