Correspondence of the New Orleans Crescentl S
New YORK, Oct 16, 1865.
The RAIDS had " big blow at Cooper In
stitute last evening, and as heretofore all their
arguments consisted in their ISLANDERS and attacks
upon the characters of their opponents. upon
the wall, either side of the platform, were posted
the notices: Traitors of 1861, Davis, Lee "
CO. u s'Traitors of 1866, johnson, Bread, Butter
a CO." 1t seems to be an utter impossibility for
this brotherhood y to hold a conference without
abusing those who do not think as they think,
Hannibal Hamlin, Of Maine, pleased the audience
with one of his I" eloquent harangues, full OF
foul talk, followed by Brother Wilson, who felt
sorry that the eminent gentleman who had pre-
coded him had not been retained on the Repuoh'
can ticket as Vice President instead OF changing
it for that of Andrew johnson, and winding up |
with full share of abuse of the President Ihat
man, Conway, who, by-the-by, IS DUBBED mere
general, and who is always introduced as Gen.
Conway, Of New Orleans,n gave the people a
little information respecting the wealthy rebels
of the Gulf States and the workings of the Presl-
dents policy in that section. 1t would be salts
faction as well as Justice, to give the people mere
the truth respecting these fellows who go about
the country hailing from different places IN 'he
South, when they had not been there for year Or
more. OF course the people believe when per-
son is introduced to them as belonging to place
that he is recently from there, but these radical
| peryerters have style of doing anything to gain
a point without the slightest regard for truth or
creating correct impressions. They are deaf to
anything which looks like Il favorable word toward
the South and in consequence of which are deceiv-
ing the North about the condition of the unrepre-
scented States.
Il The Brooklyn Academy of Music was jammed,
also last evening, to listen to an address on the
political situation by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
and although he is strongly in favor of the ascen-
dency Of the Republican party, still his language
is respectful and decent, and he frankly told the
audience that he had great confidence in the
honesty and sincerity of the Southern people, and
he was not ashamed to say that his heart goes in
to them. Further on he says, 81 amnotashamed
when ten years shall have passed away to have it
understood that there was one man here, and he
an abolitionist of the darkest dye who, aftet he
war was all over, had q yearning for that part OF
his country also, and who was sorry for their sor
rows and mistakes.p Mr.. Beecher's entire speech
was devoid of personal epithets, and although he
expressed his opinion clearly and forcibly, he re
Trained entirely from the foul and disgraceful tall
d of Brownlow and his associates.
s Fires are quite as plenty as ever. We have thi
n morning an account Of the terrible confagratiol
/. in Quebec, Canada, which destroyed some twenty
five hundred houses, rendering houseless abou
eighteen thousand persons; at the same time come
an account of another large fire at Ottawa, whicl
! looks as though the deyouring element was sweep
ing everywhere, as it is here; the past year hav
r ing surpassed any year in losses which was eve

responsible for the loss of SO many lives. Evi
dence is before us that the ship was not fit to 6

e their most loved ones, are left without any re
course or the slightest word Of satisfaction fror
d the steamship company, except the "offcial re
Il port" of the purser, occupying but few lines
q stating that the ship was seaworthy in ever
respect. The crew was twenty men short, an

3r The greatest and most exciting base ball mate
which has ever engaged the attention of the love
l. of this sport-now got to be "a regular science al
"a no more as it was formerly, when fellow had
:. receive the friendly acquaintance of the ball {
: his, perchance tight-ftting pantaloons-came {
. yesterday. The Atlantic Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y
IS fthe champions played with the Athletic Gu
x of Philadelphia Pa, for the championship, on Il
in grounds of the former club. The Atlantics we
victorious by score of twenty to seve
teen, consequently still hold the right to the chal
n pionship. Base ball has grown to be such
he popular and exciting sport especially in the ci
s of Brooklyn, that this match created the intense
9 excitement, bringing to the grounds fully 100
"A persons, to speak within bounds. Every year
~ convention of base ball players is held, at viii
~ all rules and regulations respecting the game a
n made, SO that now an efficient and scientific b
player is quite reputation to attain. The gar
played yesterday was between the first ninei
~. of the two clubs, There being three 'nines"
" each elub,) and soswiftIy do they pitch the b
in these days that yesterday one of the playt
Der had his finger broken. This is not an unusV
oye thing, however, as the whole efficiency of pitt
cry ing lies in the swiftness with which the ball
oys sent, and the ball being made of yarn, tigh
ere wound and covered with leather, it becon
-er- rather serious object to come in contact W
her any part of mans body, where he cannot brt
the force of it. Base ball is just as much of
institution here among its experts as horse rae
I'M is among lovers of the turf. EYES AND EARS
