Vicksburg,- July 7; iSG3.— General Grant
added still another victory to the itatof his brilliant
successes in this campaign. Our forces came ip
with Johnston’s rear guard near Bolton, on the 6|i
instant, and after a short skirmish made them pi-
Boners, to the number, it is reported, of some aw
thousand. The official reports are hot in yet; b?t
from the news brought by couriers I have obtamal
the facts of the affair as found below. 'y
It may bewell to preface by saying that, as soon
as the surrender of the garrison here was a foiegone
.conclusion, General Grant, arranged to suddenly
attack Johnston, and, if possible, capture hia vhole
foice., Accordingly, on the night of the 3d ay-1 the
day of the 4th instant, the expedition, whicl\was
under the command of General Sherman, setputm
three columns to march.on Jackson. -■ i , k
, The right column comprised the 13th Annyporps,
under General Ord; the centre column, tee 16th
Corps, under General Steele; and the left, jbe 96h
Corps, with a "division of the.lGth Corps, all under
General Parke. The right column was to m&rch»by
way of Raymond, and the left by way of Canton,
while the centre took the line of the railroad.\ vr f , | |
The troops crossed the Big Black on the
proceeded some distance without meeting wiilvtae
enemy. At length, about four o’clock in the after
noon, the advance guard, consisting oftha 16th
Ohio, was suddenly fired upon by artillery, aad the
skirmishers returned with the report that the
were drawn up in line of battle, with a battery of
artillery in position, to resist our advance. Th*-16th
lowa opened in . response, hut as the enemy pioved
to be in considerable force, Tuttle’s division (if . the
I6lh Corps waß sent to the support of the-reginent,
and the engagement became general.. It lastpUrat
a short time. The enemy began to give way k and
finally turned to fly, but in the meantime a detach
ment of the 9th Army Corps had got in their rear,-
and the "whole force was compelled to surrender.:
The rebels proved to be the rear guard of .lohn
ston’s army, and consisted. of infantry, cavalry, and
artillery. Our.loes was very small. ,1 . v ;

THE FALL OF PORT HUDSON.
Vicksburg, July 10, via Cairo, July 15.—The
gunboat Arizona has just arrived from Port Hudson,
with despatches to Gen, Grant, announcing the:ca
pitulation oi that place on the Bth in at,
-• After the unsuccessful assaults upon the enemy’s
works—of which you have already been informed
-General Backs labored to. reduce the >piace ;by
continuous bombardment, and by closing all the
avenues by which the enemy could procure a supply
of provisions.
On the evening of the 7th General Gardner Bent
out a flag of truce; he had heard of the capitula
tion of Vicksburg, and desired General Banks to
give him such information ns he might have con
ccrning ttie truth or falsity of the rumor. General
Banks .sent him a copy of General Grant’s despatch,
giviDg the-full particulars of the capitulation, of
Vicksburg, General Gardner then expressed,lris
willingness to surrender upon the sam&i^Mß.
fifiTif’rfll PaeiVw in »‘ IjS"
-would t accept nothiDg short of an**uh.contlTUonetF
surrender. J ”
General Gardner had before expressed his deter
mination to hold out to the last arid
seemed sanguine both of the ultimate success bf the
Confederate arms in holding the Mississippi, and in
his own ability to defend his works until he Bhould.
be relieved by an attack on General Banks’Tear.
The intelligence of General Grant’s splendid
triumph at Vicksburg, however, and the advance of a
strong column into the interior of Mississippi, cut-.
ting off his expected relief, speedily dispelled Gen,
Gardner’s hopes. Disheartened and discouraged by
the news he had received, General Gardner surren
dered hia foroe unconditionally on the morning of
July 8.
The garrison consisted of Bix thousand effective
men, in excellent condition. There were sixty
pieces of artillery in the various batteries along the
river , and in. the rear, many of them of very large
calibre. The magazine contained an abundant sup
ply of powder, but a small, quantity of shot arid
shell. This deficiency accounts for the rebel firing
having been eo slack during the laßt two or three
days’siege. General Gardner ,was evidently hus
banding his resourceß.torepel an anticipated assault,
and had an abundant supply to work all guns for
several days continuously without entirely exhaust
ing his supplies. ,
There was no beef in possession of the rebels - at
the time of the surrender. The flesh of mules had
been dealt out for some time—short rati ons—to sup
ply the want of beef. There were quite a number
of mules.inside the rebel works, and an abundance
of com, sufficient to have lasted the garrison for a
week longer, if they had had the heart to fight.
General Gardner is reported to have said after the
surrender, that he expected General Grant with his
aimy would come down from Vicksburg and assume
tfce conduct of the siege, and in that event his works
. would be assaulted and overpowered by superior
numbers, and many of his men would be. bayo
neted in the trenches before a surrender could be
made.
General Herron’s fine command, which, you will
remember, is the Army of the Frontier, operating on
the southwest Missouri line, and lately attached to
General Grant’s army, started this morning for
Port Hudson, but on meeting the 'Arizona ther fleet
qf transports returned to this place, and are now on
theirwayup the Yazoo river. They will proceed
. as high as Yazoo city, and perhaps higher. General
Herron’s force is large enough to operate with ad
vantage if an enemy can be found in that quarter.
’ There is nothing from Sherman since my despatch
of yesterday. : .
MEMPHIS AND CAIRO.
Memphis, July IS.—Col. Hatch has captured the ;
artillery and trains of Biffle’s command. Biffle’s -
men had scattered, and most of them succeeded in
crossing the Tennessee river and joining Rhodes.'
Considerable bodies of armed men are now north
of this line and small bands of guerrillas are thick
and troublesome. •
The editor of the Memphis Argus, when out on
business at Union Depot, was conscripted by the
rebel General Richardson. He asked for five fyays
to prepare, which w»b granted, and he was making
fast time for Memphis at last accounts.
A despatch dated Cairo, July 15, to the Cincinnati
Gazette, Bays:
“ Parties from Helena represent that Gen. Blunt
has captured Little Rock, witli a laTge number of
prisoners.”
NEW ORLEANS,
New York, July 18. —The steamer Locust Point,
from New Orleans with dates to the nth, lias ar
rived. ‘
The Fm of the Ilth says, on Wednesday,
instant, at 2 o’clock P. M., General Gardner,'the
rebel commander at Port Hudson, surrenderediin-;
conditionally to General Banks.
The rebel army waß drawn up in line, stacked
arms, and General Banks took possession of the
place. Five thousand prisoners, fifty pieces of Ar
tillery, and all the small arms, etc., have fallen into'
our hands. . ,
A despatch to the Em, dated on the morning of
theBth, says: At two o’elock.a parley was sounded
from the fort, and being replied to, an inquiry was
made about the news from Vicksburg, . • *,
On being aasured that it had fallen, Gen. Gardner
promised to surrender to day. We entered the place
at noon. Therglorious. event has filled/the’army,
with the wildest enthusiasm. .
A subsequent account says that Gardner. sejit;in
a flag, of' truce on the Bth, asking : terms,' General
Banks responded, ‘‘ Unconditional surrender, with
twenty.four hours to. consider.”
At 7 A; M. on the 9th, Gardner unconditionally
Burremlered. The moment the surrender was com
pleted the 'rebels sent a request for 6,000 ralionsj as
the garrison had eaten its last mule. Thlß was found
to be literally a fact.. They, had devoured- their laist'
mule..
The. newB was brought to New Orleans by the flag*
ship Tennessee. One hundred guns were immedi
ately fired by order of Gen, Emory. The loyal citi
zens of New Oileans were to have a torchlight pro
cessiOD, illumihation, arid, general. j oyful jubilation
on the night the steamer sailed. The-Secessionists
are rather gloomy in countenance.

THE RIOT IN NEW YORK.
Address of Archbishop Hughes.
TliCjOceurrcnccs oMrylaj iiiul Saturday,
[From the New York Times
At precisely 2 o'clock
clad in purple robes, and decd£ggagsh£the insignia
of his position, stepped His ap
pearance Svas the signal for immediate; enthusiastic,
and prolonged applause, after courteously acknow
ledging- which he sat down, apparently overcome
by his emotions, the heat, and his severe physical
infirmities. For some moments the scene was pro
foundly impressive. Upon the little balcony, clad
in the vestments of clerical rank and power, and
surrounded by Yery Reverends of high degree and
station, satthe man before whose uplifted fingers
thousands. have bent the knee, and in the street
With open eyes and mouths stood in absolute si
lence a vast multitude whose deeds during the week
have made the city tremble and put to the blush the
worst days and ecencß of revolutionary Europe,
waiting anxiously for the word of encouragement,
of advice, or of rebuke, which was soon to come,
while upon a; neighboring balcony sat one of the
highest of our judicial functionaries, prepared to
applaud the one as he had already somewhat pub
licly defended the others. Having partaken of some
slight refreshment, the venerable priest arose, and
removing his cap, bowed courteously to the crowd,
while upon the instant every man in the vast assem
blage took off liis'hat, and the united voice of the
upturned faces made the. city for squares around
resound with hearty greeting and pious applause.
Silence having been restored, the Archbishop spoke
as lollows:
SPEECH OP ARCHTHSHOT* HUGHES.
Men. of New York: : They call you rioters, and I
cannot see a riotoiiß face among you. [Cheers.]. I
call you men of New York, not gentlemen, because
gcntlomen'- is so threadbare a term that it means
nothing positive. [Applause.] Give me men, and
I know of my own knowledge, that if this city were
invaded by a British, or any other foreign Power
[laughter], the delicate ladies of New York, with
infanta at their breastß, would look for their pro
tection to men; rather than to gentlemen. [Ap
plause.]. Of .course, there is no reason why you
Bhould not be gentlemen, for there is no real
-difference between these terms. [Applause.] I
address you of my own choice; and I would do
>so if I had to go on crutches. No one has
prompted me to do. it. My lungs are stronger
than my limbß. It gratifies me that you have met in
peace and good order here at this time. This, how
ever, does not surprise me—it is what I expected. I
do not address you as the President, [laughter,] or
the Governor, or the Mayor, or a military officer. I
address you as your lather. [Cheera,] [Voice—
“You are worth the whole of them.ft And I am
not going to go into the question, what has brought,
about this unhappy state of things. It is not my
business to do so, but as far as I am concerned my
self, you know that I am a minister of God, and a
minister of peace, who, in your troubles in years past,
as you know, never desertedyou. [Cheers, and cries
of “No, never!”] With my tongue and my pen
I have stood by you always, and so shall .1
to the end of my life, so long aB you are right, and
I sincerely hope that you are hot wrong. [Cheers.]
I am not, a runaway bishop in times of dan
ger. - [A voice—“No, you’re not like Beecher.”]
It has been, perhaps, a calamity, but I do not regret
it, that 1 never was conscious of the . sentiment of
fear until the danger was over, and then, sometimes
I might perhaps get a little nervous. [Cheers.] I
could not, even in the best of causes, as you know,
fight foryou. The course .of nature has denied me
that privilege, but I can still stand by you. l ean
still advise you, and, if necessary, I can die with
you. [Great cheering.] As T said before, I will
not enter into the question which has provoked, all
this excitement., No doubt there are som3 real
grievances, but still I think there are many
imaginary onee—becauße, in this world, every
thing is comparative in its nature. There are no
people in the world, that have hot some cause of
grievance, and there are few that have not greater
cause for complaint than we can. complain of after
all. [Cheers,] Everything is comparative, and a
change is not always an improvement. When I
cast my thoughts back to the land of my forefathers,
and whenl think of its desolation ; when I see the
fertile'west and south of Ireland depopulated and
cattle browsing on the ruins of the cottages of the
noble race that onceliyed there, I thank God that I
was pennitted to be among those whe had an op
portunity of coming to this coutry. where at least
no such wretched tyranny is practised]. Great cheer
ing]. If you are Irishmen, and the papers say the
rioters are all Irishmen, then I also am an Irishman,
: [applause] but not a rioter, for I am a man of
i 3iB»ergr] i~Know that men are some
times liable to get .excited from an apprehension of
danger, and I myself, aB your Bishop, have had my
- own troubles.and my persecutions, but I think ifc.is
the best policy to bear evils patiently, the more es
pecially, when they are merely temporary and will
scon pass away. I agree with the poet, that itis far 1
better for us to bear our little inconveniences here
than to lush into evils we know not off. In Europe,
where most of the countries are despotic—yes, even
,in England, [groans,] where they have a Constitu
tion;, they are none the less despotic—and a ruler is
a ruler by rights whether he be a fool or a wise man,
and miist occupy the throne while:he lives. There'
is no relief there for an oppressed people, except in
revolution, Revolution in’ any country is a■deape
‘ rate state, and! know of no country where' it
' could be in worse taßte than here. • In this coun-
try the Constitution giveß the right to the peo
ple ,to make a revolution every four years,
[Cheers.] But it is a ditferent kind of a revolution.
The battles of our revolutions are not battles of
blood and violence, nor are. the bullets bullets of
lead, . You know what they do. They, fire paper
bullets. Were you ever in Rome walking on the
Gprso during the Carnival?. The people throw.bul
lets— pellets-, of flour,' and perhaps gilded, at each
other; But in this country the Government is a
foundation not to: be destroyed. It iB the right of
the people every four y ears to correct or amend, as
the printers, say,'the.superstructure, "We have the
right to approve or disapprove the acts of our rulers,
but not to override them. But let us preserve the
foundation, and let the American people rebuild the
superstructure every four years. If you take away
the foundation, what have you, what have I, to
cling to?. What should we have remaining in the
form of human government? I am too old now
to seek another home or country, and I shall
cling to the old foundation. I'want the house*
keepers to mind. [A Voice—“ And let the niggers
keep South.”] Everything is in the hands of the
supreme people of the United States, and the majo
rity of them, whether they make a blunder or not, I
am willing to be governed by. Now, gent emen,
[laughter,] I am nearly done. Thereis one thing,
however, 1 inustsay. I wish to ask you a question,
and I wish you to answer it, and if I should ask
your council on another point I know you will give
it to. me. [“ We will, we will.”.] Are you willing
that I should • give ybu a word of advice? [Cries
of “Yea, yes,” and cheers.] I have not scolded you,
and I hope you do not deserve.it. I repeat what I
. said before, that I have not seen in this vast audi
ence a countenance which I could call the counte
nance of a rioter. ;[“ That’s so.”] Then, is this
business to go on? Should not every man, in hia
own modest way,.become a preserver of the peace?
I am.told in the papers that not a little property has
been destroyed. ,1 remember the anecdote of a lady
who said to her' child : “ Come, my darling; come
with me to church.” The child answered: “ What’s
the use, mamma.” Well, that was . a child’s
answer, and I hope he has seen the folly of it, if tie
has grown up ; but now if property is destroyed,
what is the use? It must be paid for by youandby
me. No, no; but if property is lost it cau be re
paired or restored. But who can bring back an im
mortal soul? In the case .of a violent and uoju3t
assault on you without provocation, my notion is
that " every man has a right to . defend his house or
■ his shanty at the risk of his life. [Cheers.] The
cause, however, must be. just. Itmust be aggres
sive, not' offensive. Do you. want my advice?
[•‘Yes. s ’] I have.been hurt by the reports that you
are rioters.. You cannot imagine that I could hear
theße tbiDgs without being pained ; grievously. Is
there not some way by which you can stop these pro
ceedings, and support the I&wb, : of which none have
been enacted againstyouas Irishmen and Catholics!
You have suffered enough already. . NoGovernmeat
can stand or protec titselfunless it protects its citizens.
-Military force will be let loose on you, and you know
what that is. The innocent will be shot down, and the
guilty likely to escape. Would it not be.bstter for
you to retire quietly ? not to give upyourprinciples
or convictions, [immense cheers,) but to keep out
of the crowd where immortal souls are launched
into eternity, and.at all events get into no trouble
till you are. at home. Would it not be better? There
is one thing in which I would ask your advice. When
these so-called riots are over, and the blame is justly
laid on lrißh Catholics, I wish you to tell me in
what country I , could claim to be born.- [Voices,
- ;
■I :Yes, but what shall I say if these stories be true?;
Ireland, that never committed a single act of cruelty
until she was oppressed; Ireland, that has been the
- mother of heroes and poets, but never, the mother of
cowards. [Great applause;] When the hrat apostle,
St. Patrick, went to Ireland, he was preceded by
Polladorus, and they listened to him as you now pa
tiently listen to me. The Boil of Ireland was never.
Boiled by a single drop of martyr’s blood. It would
touch me deeply to have to reverse that record.
Perhaps you consider this a touch of blarney, but-1
assure , you it is the truth, [dries of “It is, God
bless you.”] The delicacy of feeling in,lreland is
very great. You know that Ireland sometimes pro
duces idiots, not many of them, however, [laughter,]
but the delicacy of the people is such that they call
them and not idiots. Well, once there
was a poor child in this way, and you know these
people are not accountable for what they do, and he
was very fond of raw eggs, which hd took and ate on
all occasions. Sometimes they were not so fresh as
they might be, [laughter;] .and one time, as he was
Bwaf owing his favorite beverage, he heard 1 a chicken,
squeak in his throat. ‘‘Ah, my dear fellow,” saul r
he, “ I am very sorry, but you spoke too late,”
and down it went. But, as I said before, there
are very few of that .sorb, in Ireland.. Oh! .my
friends, what a scene rises before me as I think
of that laDd of my nativity, and as I glance
at the long list of. noble men*who are exiled
from their: hemes—such men as Field-Marshal
Nugent*,whom I knew intimately, and the O'Don
nells of Spain ; when I know that.most of the col?
leges have been established by the sons of Ireland;
- when I know that In later dayß the blood of your
brothers have filled the fields of the Crimea and Ba
laklava, and ©f Delhi, in India; when I think of the.
Government which has'persecuted them, leaving
nothing for them but the United States; when I
think of this, I do not envy the policy of John Bull,
which replaces a noble pooulation by a set offat
bullocks. [Laughter.] I took upon, myself to say
that you should not be molested in paying trie, a
visit. [Cheers.] I thank you for your kindness
[applause]; and I hope nothing will occur till you
return homeland if by chance, as you go thither,
you should- meet a police officer, or a military man.
why just— look at him.-, [Tremendous laughter ahu.
applause.]; 1 /' > 4
»< The crowd cheered vociferously, and demanded
the presence of the Archbishop again upon the bal
cony. He gratified them, bowed his thanks, and re
turned to his parlor, quite 'exhausted and greatly
fatigued byth'e long standing and excitement.
After a while the crowd slowly dispersed, arguing
among themselves as to what the Archbishop meant
to have themdo, some insisting that he refused to
recognize them aa rioters, and therefore they had
done right; while others insisted that thc venerable
and 'suffering priest intended to convey to them the
wish that they should return to their homes and
'their work, and take things as they found them in
their naturalized country—the land popularly sup
posed to be only the “home of the brave, and the
land of the free.”
INCIDENTS OF THE RIOT.
[From the Tribune of Saturday.
One of the most, distressing sights possible for a
person to witness, is the; group of about thirty
colored people congregated at the corner of the arse
nal on Seventh avenue; as being the only , place
where they feel any assurance of personal safety.
They are mostly women, and many of them: old
and infirm; some have been there since. Monday
night last, with scarcely enough to eat, and yet pa
' tientlv bearing their sufferings and making no corn-
I plaint, and only-expressing their gratitude that they,
have even this poor place of safety. They have no
place to lie down, but have arranged boards on the
sidewalk upon which they are seated side by side,
awaiting the hour of the deliverance of the oity from
the hands of the mob, .
On Thursday night, as a company of soldiers waß
moving down to the fire on Twenty-seventh street,
a negro, with his clothes nearly torn from his back,
frantically rushed up Seventh avenue, and in his
frenzy threw himself against the captain of the
company, as it was marching down, with the most
distressing cries.
In the darkness the captain was unable to distin
guish who or what he was, or to imagine his motive
or purpose, and he struck the poor fellow a blow
with his sabre, inflicting a heavy wound upon hia
head, and felling him to the ground.
He was at once brought to the arsenal, when it
was discovered that he was a raving maniac, grow
ing out of the intense excitement which had sur
rounded him and the other colored population for
the laet three or four dayß, and againßt which he
was unable to maintain hiß mental balance. His.
wounds were dressed, and .during yesterday he still
continued wandering abaut within the iron railings
that surround the arsenal, utterly crazed. He was
evidently a fugitive from some Southern State, as
he addressed all wlio,spoke to him as “massa.”
Coroner Naumann yesterday held an inquest on
the body of Wm. Henry Yates, a colored man, 4t
years of age, who committed suicide at the house
of his employer, Mr. James Mortin, No. 228 Madi
son street, by first cutting his throat and then hang
ing himself to the cellar door by means of a small
cord. The evidence went to show that deceased
lived at 595 Water street; that the mob in that neigh
borhood were overheard by him to say they would
Uillhimand burn his house. Yates became very
much excited and remained concealed in the house
till late on Wednesday night, when he ventured out
and called on Mr. Mortin.
Before leaving home, however, Yates asked his
wife for the razor, saying that he wanted to defend
himself from the rioters in case they should attack
him. After the interview with Mr. Mortin, Yates
said he should procceed to the station-house, and
seek protection at the hands of the police, or else go
to bed.' The following morning,he was found sus
pended in the cellar. Before hanging himself, the
deceased had cut his throat, but finding death would
not ensue from hemorrhage, he determined to end
hiß earthly career by strangulation. He was 41
years of age, and bora in Connecticut. Mr. Mortin,
in whose employ he had been for .the last three
years, gave the deceased a good moral character,
besides which he was a fine penman and an excel
lent accountant. c ;
On Wednesday evening about 300 citizens assem
bled at the station-house, and, having armed them
selves with clubs and bars of iron, volunteered to
protect Harlem while the police rested from the
fatigues of the two preceding days and nights,
during which they bo nobly periled their liveß for
public order. Many arrests were made by the
citizens; among others, two ruffians were arrested
in the act of firing a dwelling and maltreating its
occupants .on One- hundred-and-twenty-first street.
Justice Welsh opdned court at Washington Hall,
where the prisoners were . arraigned, and perhaps
nothing will better illustrate the teachings which
have led to the recent horrors than a short extract
from the testimony of one of the parties abused by
the rioters. She says :
“Those men came to my house, and one of them,
advancing to the table, struck it a rap with a heavy
club, which be carried, and asked, ‘Do you know
what we come for?’ She replied, ‘1 do not.’ ‘Do
you know the Constitution?’ ‘No.’ ‘Well, 1 said
the ruffian, ‘ I will tell you; it is to rip, and tear,
and carry off niggers’ property, and kill the damned
niggers.* ”
The citizenb now have arms, and about five hun
dred are enrolled, which number will, no doubt, be
increased to one thousand this week.
Factsare every day coming to light Bhowing the
unutterable fiendisjmess of the ruffians who have
desolated and disgraced the city during the week.
A funeral procession was passing down Second ave
nue on Tuesday last, and when near Nineteenth
street it was stopped by a gang of rioters, who or
dered the driver of : the hearse to turn back. He ex
postulated with them, telling them that he had a
corpse in the hearse. “Throw the corpse into the
street,” cried the ruffians, and suiting the action to
the word, they eeized the coffin, pitched it into the
street, and compelled the hearse and carriage drivers
to flee for their lives. The father of the deceased
and one or two of his friends returned to the spot at
great risk, picked up the coffin, which was lying in
the gutter, and carried it to a place of safety. The
corpse remained unhurried till'yesterday. For the
sake of human nature, we would gladly be spared
the pain of recording these atrocities.
Patrick McCaffrey, atage-driver of the Forty
second* Btreet line, and member of engine company
No. 18, with four other humane and brave fellows,
during the attack on the Colored Orphan Asylum,
distinguished themselves by gathering up the little
children aDd taking them to the Thirfcy-fifth-precinct
station. They, were followed and insulted by the
mob, but continued their noble work, saying they
did not believe in assaulting little children. The
names of such heroic men Bhould be kept in kind
remembrance. •
Many of the recent peace-breakers were employed
yesterday in burying their dead, and our reporter
saw on the Eighth avenue a funeral cortage, con
sisting of two hundred men on foot and Bixty-bne
and learned that they followed the body
of a wealthy, liquor seller who lost his life at the
’ s workmen were yesterday replacing the* telegraph”
poles cut down by the mob. The Twenty-second
ward yesterday enjoyed a day free from excitement.
THE COLORED REFUGEES,
[From'the Evening Post, Saturday. ]
Last night there were from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred negroes at the station house. The
majority of these were women and children, many
families being apparently represented only by the
female portion and the “ piccaninies.” These people
appear remarkably calm and cheerful in their de
meanor ; a stranger would not think that they had
passed through Beenes of suffering such as few have
ever been called upon to endure in a civilized land.
Indeed, we doubt if any whites would be capablejof
bearing with Buch equanimity what has fallen to the
lot of these poor people. But their resignation is no
way allied to the calm of indifference. Coaversa
,tion with them reveals a vivid conception of the
trials they have passed through, and the dangers to
which they aie still exposed. The secret-of their
contented appearance must be found in the Chris
tian resignation to misfortune and trustful hope in
the future, characteristic of the African race. Their
gratitude to' thC'se who have protected them is
boundless; but what impressed ua- most forcibly
was the fact that of all with whom we conversed,
not one uttered a word that could be construed into
anything like vindictiveness towards the authors of
their troubles.
The fathers, when we saw them, grave and
thoughtful, but not repining, were seated around
the room,' taking the comfort of their pipes, looking
on at.the gambols of the little ones, or helping the
mothers in taking care of the still smaller buds of
promise; some were gathered in groups, telling of
the terrors of the paßt few days, and of their narrow
escapes from the fury of: the mob. The older wo
men were attending, as well as the.facilities of the
place would, admit, to the cares of their families
and the duties of their “ households;” The younger,
ones were chatting gaily, but decorously, with the
soldiers and policemen, who seemed troubled by no
senseless- superstitions on the Bubject of “ nigger
equality,” but determined to make the objects of their
care as comfortable and happy as the nature gof the
case would admit. The young women seemed bent
on enjoying themselveß and making a good time of
it. To ease the consciences of those who are apt to
be horror-struck at the,thought of an exchange of
courtesies betv een the races, we .will state that we.
did not observe the slightest infringement of pro
pi iety or polite ness on either side, nor was anything
said or done that would have been incongruous, at
the most select party on the Fifth avenue. There
was some talk of a concert, but we were not able to
stay to listen to the music. .. .
The people all seemed of cleanly habits, and their
maimers and conversation were as refined and cor
rect ss are ordinarily those of American whites of
the same station.
AN INTERESTING FAMILY.
The firet manwith whom we conversed was
a gray-haired, dignified*looking individual, who
seemed to be verging upon his three score and ten.
He said he: was a carpet-shaker, and that he lived
in Twenty-sixth street, between Third and Lexing
ton avenues. His son lived with him, and had long'-
been confined to his bed with severe illness. Hia
family were attacked by the mob, who came and
gutted the- house and almost tore it down over his
head. They barely succeeded in escaping with their
lives. The sick son was obliged to walk, supported
by Ms father, all the. way down, to the station
house, where they found a welcome refuge. We .
weie informed that the young man was obliged
to atop . and' rest three or -four times on
every block. The old man could hardly.find
words to express his gratitude .to those who had
; afforded him protection. Over and over again did
he speak of the kindness with which- he had beeii
treated by the officers and men since he had-been at
the station house. His language was pure, correct,
and natural, evidently that of a man of intelligence.
He told us that^his'daughter-in-law stated thatßhe .
had been a servant about.ayear ago in a family in
which a-man, whom she supposed from the descrip
tion to be Andrews, had boarded.. She represented
him’as a very vindictive and desperate man, and that
even then he boasted of having five hundred men
ready to do the work that has been so well done this ■
week.' ... •
This interesting family, father, mother;
■arid children;''are, thanks to an o’vermling ;Provi
;denee,uriiteAunder.thethospitableTOof'given them
by thri- city authorities," without other injury than
the weariness of the. long and anxious walk they
weie compelled to take. •
A COLORED MINISTER.
The old gentleman introduced us to his minister,
the pastorof the African!Methodist Eethelj on Thir
tieth street, a branch of the - Sullivan-atreet African
Methodist Episcopal Church. .He supposed that his
church was destroyed; at least, he said, the mobhad
threatened r it, and were about to execute their pur
pose when he wRB driven away. Ohrised from his
own home, he took refuge in the house of a friend,
but was soon, obliged to Leave - that and.come here
for safetj-. Like the first, his gratitude was un
measured. All had been done for him tliat he could
expect, and more; He hoped that the effect of these
scenes of riot would be good, in securing, by the re
action, a better feeling for the colored people;. We
told him we thought Mb race* had a hopeful future
before them. “Yea,” he said; “in the next world.”
A NARROW ESCAPE.
In the other room we found several perßona from
a tenement house in Twenty-eighth street, between
Second and Third avenues. This house was filled
with colored people. It was attacked and sacked
during the riot which raged so long in that section of
the city. As far as,we could learn, all the inmates
succeeded in making.their escape, though how they
were able to.do it is a marvel to xis. : Two of them
were driven out of the back way into the yard. They
first atteinpted tomake their way through the houses
behind Ihem out into the other street, but were pre
yented by men who were coming in that way to hunt
them out. They then turned acroßß the lots towards
Third ; avenue - , and were obliged to leap five fences.
A friendly butcher beckoned to them, and gave them
shelter in the loft over his slftughtei>]>en.
BLACKS ESCAPING IN A HOGSHEAD.
Two negroes lived. in the same house with some
whites. When the mob attacked the house Thurs
day,one of them took refuge on the roof, arid the
other crouched in a corner of his. room. . By the kind
offices of the whites, the attention of the mob was
diverted.from the room in which the man lay con
cealed, but they Bearohed thoroughly the rest of the
houeeand the oellars during the night. One of the
negroes Baid he could see the lights moving around
all night. The mob did not cease, their search till
four or five o’clock in the morning. At length the
negroes were rescued by a butcher’s boy- residing in
the neighborhood, who came along, and batrelled
them uj) in a hogshead on his cart, and thus conveyed
them to the station-house.
A STATEMENT.
A woman told us that the mob came to the house
in which she resided, along with some widows—
washerwomen. They, pleaded earnestly to be let
alone —tnat>they were, poor, inoffensive, helpless
widows. The reply was, “ damn you, we will thun
der you down,” and a daßh at the house and furni
ture. The woman implored them that they would,
at least, not injure one infirm old woman in the
house. The rioters agreed that in consideration of
her infirmity they would spare her. “But,” said
the woman, “her windows and furniture were de
stroyed along with those of the rest of üb.”
- THE CAUSE OF THE.MAITRKATBD NEGROES.
Many of the lawyers of this city and Brooklyn
intend to offer their services gratuitously to the
robbed and maltreated colored people who have loßt
their property by the attacks of the mob. These
poor people have a right to claim redress from the
country for all damages sustained at the hands of
the rioters, but most of them have no means of pre
senting these claims in a legal form.’ The move
ment among the lawyers is extremely praiaeworthy,
and the example should be followed generally.
We Are authorized to state that Judge Birdseye,
of Brooklyn, whose office is at No. 170 Broadway,
THREE CENTS.
In this city, will undertake any of these claims on
behalf of the Buffering colored people, without fee.
THE RIOTERS.
Some of the women engaged in the mob of this
week emulated the rougher sex in brutality. A
gentleman living in the neighborhood where the in
cident occurred relates the following: In the Seventh
avenue, just above Fortieth street, three of the pro
vost guard had fallen behind thereat. They were
set upon and beat to the earth. Two women came
up, seized the bayonet belonging to one of the men,
ana taking it from the musket in their hands, stabbed
him again, and again with their united strength,
mangling the body terribly.
Another anecdote shows the great caution of the
rioters. A loyal man in Twenty-fifth street heard,
them discussing the expediency of attacking the of
fice of the Evening Post, “Do not go there,'\ said
one of them; “it will be dangerous. They have plen
ty of boiling water from their engine, and a hose
which they can turn in any direction from their
building, bo that with one sweep they might scald
five thousand men.” “We shall not meddle with
the newspaper offices,” said another in the same
group, “ they are too well defended.”
THE WAT TO.DISPOSE OP ROBBERS.
Yesterday morning the early train by the Hudson
Fiver railroad brought to the city a resident of Sing
Sing, who came to the city on business with- Major
General Sandford. On arrivine at the TMrtieth-
Btreet ddpdt he proceeded down town- to purchase a
military coat. Having done this, he walked' to
wards the Seventh-avenue arsenal, where he had
learned the General was from the reports in the
newspapers.
On the comer of Twentieth street he was ftcco3ted
by three ruffians, who ordered him to 1 give up hia
pocket book and valuables.. He, with apparent in
tention of complying with the demand* put his hand'
into his pocket and instantly pulled out a revolver,
cocked, and in an instant had shot one man, who
fell dead at his feet, while the second, by another'
shot, was wounded so badly that he fell, and the
third, eeeing the determined manner of the gentle
man, took to his heels, followed by two bullets;
neither of which, however, took effect.
AN ABDREBB TO THE LABORING MEN,
The following circular appeared to-day :
To the Laboring Men of New York:
Comrades:
Do you want to pay heavy taxes!
Do you want to sutfer-loss and ruin !' • .
Do you want to be trampled under foot by ambi
tious demagogues!
Do you want to have your homes filled 1 with sor
row, and your eyes run over with tears!'
If not, then stop and think.
The property destroyed by a riot must bcpaid for
by the city, and in this way every act of disorder,,
violence, and house*burning, is only laying heavier
taxes on your own sh&ulders.
Every disorderly act that is done onlyoalls for
greater expenses on the part of the city government.
The United States does not pay the damages, but
the city of Hew York alone. Of course, all the dis
turbances, losses, and damages, only fall upon your
own heads.
Comrades! Stand by the law! Stand by good
order and good sense, and you will find it good
policy. If any law is bad, let it be settled by the
courts in a proper form. Do not listen to bad men
who are only leading you to your ruin.
The politicians and business men of Hew York
must stand by the law and the Constitution. It is
cheaper and better to Btand by the law, for when the
Irw is broken, and preperty destroyed, and lives
lost, we all suffer more or less by the injury.
Comrades !in the name of God—in the name of
our wives and children—in the name of everything
that is dear to ue—stop and think.
Stand up as Democratic workingmen should stand
up before the world, arid-show the traitors of the
South, and the friends of tyranny all over the world,
that the workingmen -of New York are able to
govern themselves.
Stand by the Union, the Constitution and the
laws ! Then peace, freedom and prosperity will be
secure to you.an'd to your children after you.
Keep honestly at your work! Give no heed to bad
Bdvice. Any man that advises you to break the law
is your enemy, and the enemy of your wives and
children. These troubles will make the times only
the worse for us all. High prices, heavy rents, and
heavier taxes.
Comrades! Keep the peace and all will be well.

STATES IN REBELLION.
Richmond Accounts of the Gettysburg
BaCtXe.
Reports from the Richmond papers of the battle
at Gettysburg are uniformly extravagant and un
true, but few are bold enough to olaim a victory. In
some, defeat is disguised under strategy, and Gene
ral Dee is credited (or discredited) with a piece of
bombastic dishonesty, quite foreign, to the recog
nized temper of the'man. The rebel general ac
knowledged a failure in an order at Hagerstown,
since which time he has made his utmost haste
across the Potomac. We discern, however, be
neath the extravagance of the rebel accounts a fear
of thejfact of Aghiiih-wa.oro -aroarfl^tiat-i-K*.
'bfx.ee was.a disaster,.and hie retreat flight. -- -- -
The following meagre description of Friday’s fight
is. -of all the Richmond accounts, the most respecta
ble in tone:
Much interest is felt by the public in the fate of
the First Virginia regiment,.which was organized in
this city, and a large number of families here are
interested in the fate of its members. The first re
port from it after the battle of Gettysburg was the
old story of “ cut all to pieces,” and we deeply
regret to announce that in the case of this gallant
regiment the report is too true. The regiment,
numbering about 200 men, the remnant of the fine
body that left this city in April, 1861, is attached
to Kemper’s brigade, in Pickett’s division of Long
street’s corps. It had been near Chambersburg
doing picket duty, but had been relieved, and
on Thureday, the 2d instant, marched 22 miles to
G ettysburg, and went into bivouac near the town,
Gettysburg was the right of the enemy’s centre, and
was, of course, the left of our centre. The battle
field, as viewed- from our lice, may be described
thus: From Gettysburg there stretches away toward
the right a high mountain, on which there is a pla
teau, defended by a stone- fence. This was the.ene
my’s position. .On the. right of this was another
mountain meeting it at right angles, and protruding
out toward our lines. This mountain was also for
tified and occupied by the enemy, so that if our
troops had occupied and held the main position of
the Federate they would have been exposed to a
murderous enfilading fire from the flanking moun
tain. The'ground in front of the enemy’s work was
of a rolling formation, requiring our troops first to
descend a slope and then ascend to the attack. All
this was to be done under fire. Our artillery was
massed in front of the mountain, and behind it our
infantry waH placed.
About 3 o’clock Friday morning the Ist Virginia
was ordered to fall in, and with the division marched
to the right of our centre, nearly opposite the flack
ing mountain and was placed about To yards behind
our artillery. The cannonading opened from our
, Bide about 1 o’clock, and after two hours’ shelling,
which was so inaccurate.on the part of the enemy
that only five menin the Ist were killed by it, the
infantry waß ordered to advance. This order was
given at 3 o’clock P. M., and the advance was com
menced, the infantry marching at common time
across the field, and not firing a musket until within
75 yards of the enemy’s works. As Kemper’s brigade
..moved up it swung around to the left, and was ex
posed to the front fire and flanking fire of the
Federate, which was very fatal. This swinging
around unmasked a part .of the enemy’s force, five
regiments being pushed out from their left to the
attack. Directly this force was unmasked our artil
lery opened on it with terrible precision. An officer
who was within a few yards of the works, informs us
that our shells were thrown with wonderful accuracy
into the very middle of the enemy’s column, killing ,
sometimes as many as twenty or thirty at a shot.
This force was advancing in column of battalions,
• and in Attempting to change their position, by march
ing by the right, was thrown into such confusion by
the scathing fire of our artillery that the slaughter
was still more terrible. They never rallied, and
their five regimental flags were scattered all about in
the crowd. This demonstration on the offensive being
dispersed, our infantry continued their advance upon
the works. • "When within about seventy-five yardß
they opened fire, and charged on the force defending
the stone fence. As they mounted the fence, two or
three hundred of the Yankees defending i 6 threw
flown their arms afi.d ran toward our men, giving
themselves up as prisoners. Many of them ran en
tirely through Kemper’s brigade to the rear. A
good many of them were killed in running forward
to surrender,,our .men not understanding the mean
ing of the manoeuvre. The Confederates captured
the works, but so few of them passed through the
deadly fire that not enough got inside to hold them
against the large force of Yankees that advanced to
retake them. :
Seven Confederate flags were planted on the stone
fence, but there not being enough men to support
them, they were captured by the advancing Yankee
force, and nearly all of our severely wounded were
.left in the hands of the enemy.
The Ist Virginia carried in one hundred and se
venty-five men, about twenty-five having been de
tailed for ambulance and other duty.; They brought
out between thirty.and forty, many even of them
being wounded. There is but one officer.of the regi
-ment who was-not killed or and that was
Lieutenant Ballou, who now commands it. Colonel
L. B. Williams went into action on horseback, and
waß instantly killed. He fell forward on being shot,
and did not speak afterward. His horse was hit
three times. Colonel Williams’ body is in the hands
of the enemy. Among the officers we have ascer
tained - the following losses: Company ; G, Lieute
nant Morris commanding; Captain Langley .was
sick,hut went into the fight and was wounded;-.
Lieutenants Woody ana Morris, all wound
ed ; Company B, (color company,) Captain
Davis, wounded and missing; Lieutenant Paine,
wounded; Company C, Capt. Halliman and Lieut.
Dooley, both wounded and missing; Company D,
Capt. Norton, Lieuts. Reeve, Keiningham, ana
Blair, all wounded; Company H, Capt. Watkins,
Lieuts. Cabell and Martin, all wounded; Company
I, Lieuts. Ballou and.Caho, the latter wounded.
Wm. Mitchell, son of John Mitchell, in command of
the color-guard of the .regiment; is wounded and
missing. Lieut. Blair, of Company D, commanded
the skirmishers. We have been unable to get a list
of the privates killed arid wounded.
Many of our wounded were brought back into our
lines by the Yankees, who'leaped over the stone
fence and surrendered. One of the color guard. Pri
vate Theodore Martin, while lying wounded within
a few yards of the fence, called one of the Yankees
to take him up arid carry him off. The Yankee did
not atop, but upon Martin threatening to shoot him,
came .back and bore him off, telling him that-he
“must hurry up, as he (the Yankee) wanted to get
• out of that infernal fire.”
The Ist Virginia,-when it left Richmond, had six
hundred men,: and was afterward increased to eight
•hundred by the addition of two companies. After
the battle of, Williamsburg and Seven'Pines it had
only eighty men; but was recruited to two hundred
from conscripts. It has again been reduced , and now to.
about forty men.
The gentleman to whom we are indebted for the
above information, who is a brave and cool officer,
says that at no time have our, men believed they were
whipped. They were repulsed from the heights, but no
effort teas made by the. Federate to pursue them. The
falling back of Lee was orderly t and there was no strag
gling by men who were unhurt.

HIS ACCEPTANCE OP THE NOMIKATIOX FOR
GOVERNOR.
The Rochester Union contains an address by Yal
landigham, whiohbears date, “ Niagara Falls, Cana
da West, July 15,1563.” IVe make a lew extracts :
Arrested and confined for three weeks in the
United States, a prisoner of state; banished thence
to the Confederate States, and there held as an alien
enemy and prisoner of war, though on parole, fairly
and honorably dealt with, and given leave to depart,
an act possible only by running the blockade, at the
hazard of being fired upon by ships flying the flag of
my own country, I found myself first , a freeman
when on British soil. ' And to*day, under the pro
tection of the British flag, I am here to enjoy and in
part to exercise the privileges and rights which
usurpers insolently deny me at home.
The shallow contrivance of the weak despots at
Washington, arid their advisers has been defeated.
Nay, it has been turned against them ; and I, who
for two years was maligned as in secret league with.
the Confederates, having refused when in their
midst, under circumstances the most favorable,either
to identify myself with their caus9, or even so much
as to remain, preferring rather exile in a foreign
land, return now with allegiance to my own State
and Government unbroken in word, thought, or*
deed, and with every declaration arid'pledge, tri you
before I was stolen away, made good in spirit, and
to the very letter.

because an audacious but most cowardly despotism?
caused it, I addressed-you as a fellow-citizen. To
day, and from the very place then selected byme r
but after wearisome and most perilous journeying#
for more than Tour thousand miles by land and upon
the sea ; still in exile, though almost in sight of my
native State, I greet you as your representative.
Grateful, certaiDly l am, for the confidence in my
integrity and patriotism, implied by the unanimous
nomination as candidate for Governor of Ohio,
which you gave me while I was yet in the Confede
rate States. It was not misplaced; it shall never
be abused.
Mr. Yallandigham then endorses the nominations
and the platform of the convention, and says that
its members are “ the restorers and defenders of con
stitutional liberty, and by that proud title history
will salute you.”
Mr. V. says that the issue really involved is as
follows: • ■ •
Whatever wills, that is law. Constitutions, the
President, are nothing; acts of legislation nothing;
the judiciary IeBB than nothing. In time of war,
there is hut one will supreme, his will; hut one law
—military necessity, and he the sole judge. Milita
ry orders supersede the Constitution, and military
commission s usurp the place of the ordinary courts
of justice in the land. Nor are these mere idle
claims. For two years and more, by arms, they
ha\ r e been enforced. It was the mission of the
weak but presumptuous Burnside—a name infamous
forever in the ears of all lovers of constitutional li
berty—to try the experiment in Ohio—aided by a
judge whom I nam-e not, because he has brought
foul dishonor upon the judiciary of my country.
In your hands now, men of Ohio, is the final issue
of the experiment. The party of the Administra
tion have accepted it. By pledging support to the
President, they have justified his outrages upon
liberty and the Constitution y and who ever gives
hiß votes to the candidates of that party, commits
himself to every act of violence and wrong on the
part of the Administration which he upholds; and
thus, by the law of retaliation, which is the law of
might, would forfeit his own right to liberty, perso
nal and political, whensoever other men and
another party shall hold the power. Much more do
the candidates themselves. Suffer them not, I en
treat you, to evade the issue; and by the udgment
of the people we will abide.
He has not changed his mind in regard to the war.
As to this he says:
If this civil war is to terminate only by the sub
-jugation. or submission of the South to force and
arms, the infant ofto*daywill not live to see the
end of it. Ho, in another way only can it be
brought to-a close. Travelling a thousand miles and.
more, through nearly one-half of the Confederate
States, and sojourning for a time at widely different
points, I met not one man, woman or child, who
was not resolved to periHh rather than yield to the
pressure of arms, even in the ; most desperate ex
tremity. And whatever mav and must be the v&nr
ing fortune of the war, in all whichT recognize the
haDd of Providence pointing visibly to the ultimate
issue of dbis great trial of the States and people of
Amerif® they are better prepared now every way to
make good their inexorable purpose than at any
period since the beginning of the struggle.
These may, indeed, be unwelcome truths but
they are addressed only to candid and'honest men.
Neither, however, let me add, did I' meet any one,
whatever his opinions or his station, political or
private, who did not declare his readiness, when
the war shall have ceased, and invading armies shall
have been withdrawn, to consider and diBCUBB the
question of reunion. And who shall donbt the issue
of the argument! I return,-therefore, with my
opinions and convictions as to war or peace, and my
faith as to final results from sound policy and wise
statesmanship, not only unchanged, bat confirmed
and strengthened.
THE! CITY.
The City Titoor. —The following is an
account of the recent campaign of the City Troop:
On the 18th of last month the scene presented in
this city web one of general alarm and confusion;
of distrust in out own ability to defend, and over
estimation of the enemy’s power to invade; of mor
tification that Lee had changed the seat of war from
the exhaußted fields of Virginia to thefertile valley
of Pennsylvania, It was just then, when things
looked most dark, and thinking men doubted the
safety of Harrisburg and Philadelphia, that the old
First City Troop raised her flag, and 35 men leaped
into the saddle at almost a moment’s warning
to defend their State and their firesides. It would
be an interesting thing to catalogue what each man.
saenneed in going thus suddenly to the field. Busi
ness affairs, programmes for the summer, engage
ments of all kinds were hurriedly patched up in the
most summary way and they were off. Their trip
to Harrisburg was • tiresome in the extreme, being
eleven hours in the cars. Staying a day in this
lovely abode of rural innocence, they left the next
•evening for Gettysburg, with two accessions who
had joined them. Early on Sunday morning they
disembarked their horses and and got a
soldiej’s breakfast, after which they entered the -
they went but to reconnoitre on the road to Millers--
town and all behaved in the handsomest manner.
They were commanded by the gentleman in a silk
hat with the umbrella, whom they soon learned to *
cherish as Major Haller, However Major Haller
steadily looked towards South Mountain (the nest
of the enemy) for some time : he acquired informa
tion so important as to call for hia immediate pre
sence at Gettysburg, and so the command devolved
upon Captain Bell, of a volunteer troop raised around
that country. Having less experience than his
predecessor, and being naturally of a curious'
disposition, he pushed forward the men a sectionat a
time, joining the first section himself, and thus he
entered Millerstown. The rebels had been through
there an hour before in force, and the inhabitants
were overjoyed to see him and the rest of the Union,
soldiers, few though they were. After obtaining
definite knowledge of tbe movements of the Gob
berßh Heights, apd all the other heights in South
. Mountain, he returned, leaving -a picket on each
road leading towards Gettysburg. During all this
time Cornet (the Hon.) S. J. Randall, with a squad
of men, had been scouting.in another direction,
and had succeeeded in capturing some prisoners.
It was upon this detail that Mr. Edward White'
met with his painful accident, and displayed the
greatest fortitude and nonchalance under the most
intense Buffering. Scouts were subsequently made
in different directions, and highly important in
telligence transmitted to the Governor at Harris
burg. Finally, Gordon’s Georgia brigade, in ad
vance of Early’s forces, came down on Gettysburg
in three columns, and of course nothing remained'
hut to retire. It was .at this juncture that Mr.
Welsh magnanimously gave up his horse to Major
Haller, preferring the capture of himself to that of
his superior. A hard and a fast thirty miles was
that from Gettysburg to York; mud three or four
inches deep and raining all the way, and long after
the middle point of the journey was passed shots *
were exchanged between the Troop’s rear guard and
the foremost of the enemy. At onetime, when their
pursuers were thought too near, the order was given,
to countermarch, and it waß done in a style worthy
of veterans ; but the line was again resumed, and,
tired and blackened with dirt from head to foot, so
as to he almost indistinguishable, the Troop entered
. York and slept a few hours soundly. The next day
the company of infantry that was in the
town marched to the front, and they and 1
the Troop drew up to await the enemy for
purposes only known to the higher authorities
but after some time delaying in this way, they wended
their way slowly back, through the crowds of able
bodied young men that lined the streets, (who, it
must be said to their credit, did look very anxious at
-the prOßpect of an Early occupation of their homes
by the rebels,) to theiailroad depot, the Troop bring
ing up the. rear. Thence theym&Tched slowly to
Columbia (a distance of eleven miles), reaching that
town on Saturday evening. Sunday was an event
ful day.. Major Haller ordered all the troops over
the river, and of the troops of course was the Troop.
At or little after six o’clock P. M., the skirmishing
begaD, and the crack of the rifle was heard in the
land. Aids were needed by the various commanders*
Col. Frick, Sec., and. two were detailed to each from
the Troop, who behaved in the handsomest way.
Of these were privates Brown, Colket, Morris,
Rogers, Thompson, and some whose names we
failed to get. These men were under fire,-so me of
them for the first time, and yet all were perfectly;
cool and attentive. Shortly afterwards Major Knox
called for six good men from Sergeant Reakirt, who
truly replied that any six would answer. AU vo
lunteered, and with the accidental six chosen, the-
Mayor afterwards expressed himself'fully-satisfied.,
Their duty waa to remain on the bridge after all the
retreating soldiers had passed, and when it was
time, blow up tbe bridge; in the meantime
the fuseßWilfe-ihe utmost jealousy. Our forces hav
ing been overwhelmed by the vast superiority in
numbers,of the rebels, and having crossed the Sus
quehanna, this was successfully accomplished, and
the great Columbia bridge, the pride of the State,
was'reduced to ashes. A number of men had joined
the Troop just the day before; A day or two after"
this a scouting party was sent over the river ,in a
flat-boat, the rest of the company going .to
btjrg. This party'was commanded by Sergeant R.
- Randall, and did all that was expected of it, push--
ing on to- within a short distance of the rebel
lines; and ;returning "tor-York 1 on the
Fourth of July.-with fifty-or. Bixty horses and
mules, some of which belonged to the United States,,
and others were left by the Southern Confederacy
in their hasty right-about march! The men were
marched up there from Columbia to Harrisburg, and*
went into camp near the Poor House, in a beautiful
grove, about two miles from the town. The tents
were, soon pitched, and everything wenkfon in a
manner to do credit to the high executive ability of
Orderly Sergeant M. E. Rogers, acting lieutenant of -
the company. Nor were the F. F. P. C. C.’s without
their humors of the camp. . “Bones” and “Bill,”'
“ Ohronio”'and “ Cully,” arid the “ Serious Family,”' ’
each in turn became the heroeß of their miniature
theatre, and what they lost in audience they gained
in merit. In a word, they have gone to meet a foe
within their own borders, and so long as there was
a man this side of the Potomac they did not ask or
expect to come back. NoonewiU blame them for
not being merged in a United States cavalry regi- :
ment. No one will shrug bis shoulders at their
return, or say “ Bah,” when he reflects that-they,
were sent out for our defence. No one can- be so
very curt over defence.
They are now on duty in this city, each man at his
ownhause (a proof in itself of their trustworthi
ness, since, without' confidence in them, their com--
manding officer could never hope to get them-quar
tered thus). From the exceeding liberality ana pa
triotism of Mr. Davis were they enabled to get foff>
and through the excellent manageirient and efficiency
of their officers are they kept in their present fine
state of organization and discipline.
... Abbivae of the Henby Guards. — Tiie
Henry Guards, under the command of Capt. John
Spear, arrived in this city on Saturday morning.
They were met at the Twenty-fourth-ward station
house by a very.creditable column of policemen, who
formed an escort, under the command of Samuel G.
Buggies, the Chief, who carried his baton of office,
the emblem of civil power. The line of march was
taken up, keeping step \vith the precision of regu
lars, to the fine music of Birgfeld’s band. The line'
halted in front of the City flail, where Mb Honor;
Mayor Henry delivered a brief speech of welcome,
in which he complimented the men. In his few re
marks, he said that when our State was invaded by
the enemy, it was riot a question of who should go,.
but it was who .should not go. The enthusiasm of
the hour will ever he remembered by all. He felt
sure that the pride and power, beauty and glory of
the old flag, wMch now .so gracefully waved over
them, would be firmly : sustained in any hour of
emergency. Applause followed the Mayor's speech
—the squads of the police efleort were ordered to
their respective.: station-houses, and the Henry
Guards filed into their headquarters, the American
Philosophical Hall, Fifth street, below Chestnut.
They met with - a grand reception—the waving of
handkerchiefs by.ladies from .windows, and the ap
plause of men upon the streets.
