NEW YORK, July IL, 1866.
Latterly l have been receiving your pa
per regularly. have sometimes thought
to write you a line or two, but time flies,
they say, and mine was gone without the
correspondence being penned. l wont
give much news by stating that during the
two years | have been frem the west, al
ways welcomed the TINES. 1t brings the
famous city of bluffs, and gossip, and pol
tiles, business and all, out before your eyes,
Well, it does one good to hear from home.
What do you care for in the way of New
York news? The people are dying, and
marrying, and counting like any other man.
sunstroke lays low good many. Satur-
day we had the mercury at lO2 in Nassau
street l saw one poor fellow knocked
helpless. Some days as many as ten deaths
from this arc recorded in the Herald. Old
Bennett himself has not "struck" yet. His
colors are waving. His new marble struc-
ture goes up. 1t is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tious, may be- for newspaper Office
The Herald is behind the Tribune and
Tones in size. The building will give cclat
to an enlargement soon. These newspaper
men are: mostly all oddities. Bennett is
large and rugged looking. He is not bad
looking man, in fact makes good impress
sion, towering to six feet and over, with
his,24Q pounds of humanity, decked with
grey hairs. He looks an able man.
>. And Greeley looks happy man. That
is the characteristic of his whole appear
ance.. A twinkle of humor about his eye
seems standing announcement of impend-
ing laughter. lie is large, five feet ten, l
think, and weighs about 200. He is the
butt Of many jokes as to his toilet 1t is
never slovenly but intensely democratic.-
He shoulders along as much at home as
anybody, and having right to wear a
loose coat and straw hat, and anything else
next to hand as you or have. IIeis plain
but not studiously So. He is shrewd fell
low for his first looks. lie is shaking
your hand at introduction, and slyly taking
a coup docl through the soul windows,
called eyes. take Greeley to be good
hearted man, of more genuine human kind
ness than all the politicians in N. Y. put
together. . E..
Politics, just now, grows hot. The
Times, under Thurlow Weed, breaches
pb;I,Iolnb;o o,,yont;,r bor,+,. tb, T,.;I
une radicals, notices Forney's doings as "the
rawlings of a political aero bat,' abuses
Irish nationalsm and praises James Ste
phens because he has great care for our
Canadian brethren. The Tribune raps the
conventionists hard. The World, Ntws,
and all democratic papers are fighting with
the Times, for the paternity of the conven-
ton. And how are the Irish democracy ?
They are dead against ''ueutrality,n and
swear against Bill and Andy. The Irish
community are enwrapped in the Fenian
idea, and will now vote for or against any
body as the foreign policy record goes.
The Fenians are active. The circles are
all re-linked. Radical Banks and others
get credit for friendship. Roberts received
kind attentions from them, and little if any
from Democrats. The Fcnians will be in
the field in the fall, with ballots to forward
the cause. They will all go one way as
the parties may stand. Their Canadian
war is to bc recommended under cute,
programme. Regards, a
