There is a rendt ivous in Cedar street, one in Chothuiu street, and one in Iluibou street sll fur the old army and these added but tifiw n men to Hie service last week. Kvrry recruit brings the man who enlits him 82, end bouse lent, sod the support slid pny of recruiting par lies, go to make the mwly-obtaitit d soldier doubly dear to the Uovernnient.

The men now eoing into the service want to ride. horseback,, hence the cavalry ofTn-c iu iluihx n street got twice as many men last wek as our loot suldiurs ren dezvous. A new branch oflL-e, to take advantage of this prelcrencc, has been opened at So. 5 liroadway as an accersory to that in Iludnon street, and it is doing well alriady. Uutil within a lew weeks there were two in fantry recruits to one mounted one enlisted. The new regiments are getting along nluv.lv. At Fort Hamil ton, the headquarters of tho Taelfth, the materiula for a couple of companits are accumulating and every exer tion is being made to fill them up. 'I he headquarters, of the Fourteenth at Fort Trumbull, Conn., have now 140 men, and two deUct ments from neighboring towns were sent np on Thursday. An office for this regiment has been opened at Providence, H. I. Tbe recent or der of the War department stipulates that " all soldiers enlisted in 1861-2 shall be three years men," tor some 3,000 have joined the tcrvice for five years, who will come under ibis law, snd experienced military persons (ear that exempting them, unnecessarily, front two vcars' service, will have a deleterious effect in 1864, inasmuch as the mania for leaving the army, which the 1SC1 vol unteers are expected to exhibit when their time expires, will take bold of the regulars, aod result in a serious ex odus from tbe diQcrcnt regiments. The naval recruiting paople are in ectacy. 'fhe offi cial notification that the Uovernment would soon devise means to double their business, has ioduced them to make great preparations for large accessions to tier lists of recruit.

Holmes' Brirrado wu8 ehitionid ut Aouia Creek before the battle, as it is now, though there has been some ad dition to it siuce then. On the 1 8th. before the memo rable 21st, they were order d to Manawus, arriving ihere Saturduy, perfectly broken down, after a very fa tiguing march, having bud very littlo to eat, and very little sleep On the next duy they were pwakened Jy the booming of cannon, and were soon ordered to fall in. I'hey then stood there on tbtir arms, expecting every moment to be ordered into the field, until 1 o'clock, when they marched id double-quite: irom toe extreme rieht wine of the army to the k-It wine;, a distance of eight miles. Though tbe enemy fired into their ranks a great part of the way, they pushed on' uiillicchinifiy.- After they arrived on the battle-bcld, Walkers lialtery, of the brigade, opened fire upon tbe enemy, doing great havoc iu their ranks, causing a pauic, and boaliy lue grand rout. The firintr was so fiue that Gen, Beaure gard inquired the namu ol the young man who fired the b ret shot, and conitilirutnted him pubiicir. Ineir cav alry also did their duty; killing a great many of the enemy, and tuking a gicat many prisoners and canon. IRION. ' A' Tsaitos PiscovKsm."

Hew they (elara ear Kludutae. 1 be readers ol the " Enquirer " know that we have uot deemed it either manly or right to sti nnlcte or di rect the animosities of our people against the captives and the wounded who have fallen into our bands. Among the Indians, indetd, it was the part l the squaws and the children and tbe men whp staid in the wigwam, to torment the captives whom the braves brought home from tbe wur-path. Bat it is not 83 with the chivalrous people ol the South j and none have feel ings more humane towards our prisoners than the heroes who captured tbem, and none are more pleaded than they lo see their wounds drcsstd and their wr.nts sup plied. The Southern people are terrible to their Ices out to the captives and tbe belplcs they are gentle, as the truly brave always are. 1'hus disposed and thus acting, we cannot read with out intense- indignation, the following which we take from the New York M Herald :" TUB PIRATES OF TBI PETREL. i HiLAOKLriiiA, Aug. 'j, i I lie crew and odu cers of the privateer Petrel, recently blown to pieces cfi Charleston by tho frigate St. lAwrence, hail u prelimi nary hearing before United (Stales Commissiener H lett to-day. I hey were escorted from prison in two om nibuses, handctifled. The court room was crowded, and United Blares Attorney Coffle stated that be would de lay the case until the prisoners were provided with counsel. The room was til lid with attorneys, not one of whom volunteered to dclend tbe pirates, though all were solicited. The hearing was postponed until Wednesday. Ob the way out to tbe coaches a dense mob booted tbe prisoners and threatened to bring them ont and hang tbem. They Dually got off in safety. , 'I hat is the way .Southern prisoners of war are treat in the' North ! The distinction between privateer prisoners and others, is absurd and urjlenulili. l!e sides, the North denounce ui si! as traitois and rebels. If tbey spare any from the bandcufhs, it is not because any principle which they recognise exempts them, but because it suits their convenience and their exigencies to draw a difference. It only remains for our government to respond to tbe terrible necessity of retaliation which the North thus imposts upon m, and to the extent necessary to secure its object; retaliation for the single purpose of protect ing our own outraged people wbo fall into their handn and becouse we have no other means of doincrso. If our unfortunates are made to run the gauntlet of Phila delphia Eavages ; if they are handcuffed by officers, aud hustltd by mobs in Courts of Juslice ; il in a room full ol lawyers not one had the decency to 8f e that even tbe forme of their own pretended law were complied with in behalf of captive strangers ; if they are confined in dun geons aud threatened with the baker ; then such eavage deeds aud such savage principles must be rebrfked and punished in the only mode which can roach a Govern ment so degraded. The condemnation which they visit on our captive citizens, must fall on theirs. Richmond Enquirer. Tin Fats cf tbs Missino Steamship Pacific. The London Snipping Gazette gives the following particulars with regard to tbe lingular clue just obtained of th fat of the long lost steamship 1'acitic : Our readere may have observed recently, among our mar itime extracts, the copy of the content of a alio of paucr found in a bottle eorne weeks ago, on the weatern count of met, In tbe lic-brlde, and forwarded to u by onr agent at Htornoway. Tbe paper in queation, apparently tha leaf of a pocket-book, used in the hurry of tbe moment, wa cov ered on both aidea with pencil marka, from which the fol lowing waa with difficulty deciphered : " On board tbe Pa ciflo, Irom Liverpool to New York. Ship going down. (Great) confusion onboard. Icebergs sroirjj ua on every side. 1 know I cannot escape. , I write the cause of our loas that friends may not live in aaspeaae. The finder of tbia will pleaae get it published. Wm. Graham." . If we ate right in our conjeoture, the ahip here named is the Pacific, one of tbe Collins liDe of steamers, which vesael left Liver- Eool on January 23, 1 three daya before tbe Peraia. and as not aince been heard of ; and thi slip of paper, three incht-a by two, is probably the only record of tbe fate ol tbat miaaing abip.. Tbe writer waa evidently rme pe'ton accustomed to the perils of the aea, for it ia di tli cult to un dtre'and how any peraon whose nerves had not been hard ened by tbe presence of freqneut and appalling dangers could have written with auch manifest coolness in the imme diate presence of death. Tbia eelf-posesaion at once neg atives tbe idea tbat tbe person who could exhibit it in a mo. ment of such supreme peril could possibly have mistaken the nam of the vessel whose lo he baa recorded. Then, attain, w And from the records of the lost Pacific, that a person named Grahrtm aailed in her from Liverpool on her iii-'ated voyage, and in all human probability wa on board at the time she waa lost with all bands. This is the strong eat point ia tbe entire chain of evidence, for it connect tbe writer of tbe memorandum directly with the lost ahip, and tbe ahip with the writer. Laatiy, aince th memorandum ba been given to the world, now aome weeks, we have had no intimation that any ship named the Pacific, sailing from Liverpool recently, has been lost, or I even missing. Sonl-atlring Appeal. The following eloquent appeal is taken from an Ar kansas paper, and was originally addressed to the wo men of tbat State. It will suit any locality, as it breathes the true spirit, the spirit which is animating all onr wo men and nerving tbe arms and resolution of all our men: " Our country ia invaded ; our fathers, husbands, sons snd brothers have gon to the war. t-hull we be Idle in this contest, when there ia so much to do? I Warn that trier is a deficiency of blanket. With our port blockaded how can thia deficiency be supplied, and onr brave aoldiera for-niahed-t Let our patristio women go to work and make comfort and quilta for home use, and give every blanket to tbe aoldiera ; and should a further supply be needed, cnt op onr carpets, wash and bind tbem, tbey will protect them from th damp, cold ground. Woolen aocka are needed Let ua start every spinning-wheel, and pin up all the wool we have. Many of our ladies have wool mattreasea, let them rip them open ani mak socks of tb wool, and sup ply iu place with cotton, or if need b with straw. As there are sewing societies (or should be) in every township for making soldiers' clothes, let tbe officer of thoe socie ties give notice that tbey will receive blankets, wool, yarn, er wool sock. Let them civ out the wool ta be span, and tbe yarn to be knit, to tbs ladie or families, aa they do the sewing, and tbey can be sent to tb parent society for dis tribution as th clothing I now sent. I shall take the wool from my mettreese and upply them with straw, and spin and knit aocka for tbe aoldiera. A my husband has loan ed his cotton to ths Confederate Government, bo will I give the last blanket in the boot. Let os, my country women, giv all w can, do all we can, and pray with out ceasing for tbe success of our f oathern army, not forgetting in our prayer our noble President and Vice President, and beads of departments, and onr whole Con federate Government, and God will bles oor efforts, an swer onr prayers, give strength and victory to onr arm, and secure to us our independence and a triumphant peace, with th best and most prosperous government da tbe habitable globe, and to His name we will give alt the praise, glory and honor." A MOTIIKO. A Fawca Btiamb.- A friend writing ns from th vicioitv of Carolina City, N. C, on tb 13th, Says that a large Trench steam man of war passed there a few day since aad when opposite tbe fort saluted tha Confederate flag. : I'QrismovTranicripUl The Confederate Government, it is believed, will bav in it possession by the first ol September certificates of tracer to the amount of 1,000,000 of bales of cotton or tbe growing crops, for which Confederate bonds are to ba exchaogtd. The price regulating tbe exchange is to be the minimum value ot cotton during tbe laat three years. On these certificates of transfer it is said offers hare been made by iiriiith capiULsts to advance 0 per .

This being tbe case, ft would seem that tbe Uov ernment bus at once a re-source of specie, or its equiva lent, of over thirty-five millions of dollars. Tbe process by which eterlinj can be converted into specie would not require any gnat financial ingenuity o execute. - a O - ft " v, fcu; UU- Uo tbuj large amount of specie as a basis, might not the Uovernment vastly extend its moneyed opefsJtioos by the issue of Treasury notes 1 Richmond Examiner. MassachnsetU has another new regiment on its way to Harper's Ferry, tbe men of which seem to be of a musical turn. As tbey came through New York tbey sung a low chant, the refrain of which was : " We'll ban JeffDavia, , On a aour appl tea."
