WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1883. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The Cavalry Fight near. Boouslboro—Re- turn of the Victors. CSpecial Correspondence of the Press. ] Boonsboro, July 11, A, DI. I have just returned from the front. To-day, the Army.of the Potomac is awaiting another serious struggle, and is anxious to meet it. The cavalry fightsof the past week have been only the forerun ners of the great battle now impending. Gen; Buford, with his division of cavalry, started from Boonsboro at 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon, in six different columns, towards Hagerstown. Col, Gamble’s brigade and 001. Devin’s brigade marched to the right of the road, and Gen. Merritt's brigade to the left. They advanced but a Bhort distance from Boonsboro, when they came on the enemy’s pickets, who were driven back a mile and a half, having ’lost many prisoners and killed. . The fight was resumed at Funkstown; and , continued up to 9 o’clock, between the cavalry of both armies, when it ceased.because of the darkness. Early .Friday morning, Gen. Buford again pushed forward a few hundred yards, when the rebel batteries opened a terrific* fire. He pressed forward a b&dy of skirmishers as quickly as possible, with supporting columns, and they suc ceeded in driving the batteries of the enemy to within two miles of Hagerstown. In the charge, Captain Lord, commanding the Ist United States Cavalry, was very seriously wounded ; Sergeant Myers, of the same regiment, mortally wounded. Our total loss was not more than one hundred in killed and wounded. General Buford, who had beea fighting ceaselessly since the 3d of July, was relieved in the Rftdmoon by the division of General Kilpatrick, who followed up with spirit the advantage we had gained, Our infantry arrived upon the field ! late in the after noon, And the enemy retreated and joined the main body of their army, beyond Hagerstown. General Buford’s division returned last night to Boonsboro, after thein glorious contest with the enemy.. It was late in the night, yet one could almost see, in their heroic faces and mAnly forms, that brilliant bravery and courage to which the annals of the war can scarcely furnish a paral lel. Each regiment was headed by its own band, and the streets of Boonsboro resounded with mußie, such as we hear at triumphal processions, or read of in the fictions of warfare. The boys were happy and full of life. They expressed high satisfaction with their day’s work, and appeared anxious to turn back, and, though worn out in their o wn strength, and;their horses fatigued, to hare another encoun ter withthe rebels, whom they have so often put to flight, On 'Wednesday last, a portion of Gen. Bu ford’s cavalry, comprising 160 men, under command of Capt. J. W. Ciaffin, of the 6th United States Ca valry, left their camp at Boonsboro for the pur pose of reconnoitring toward Funkstown. The rebels charged upon them when near the toll-gate with a regiment , of cavalry, driving Capt. Olaffia two miles. Capt. Lord, commanding the 6th Ca valry, was ordered to the relief, and instantly the rebels were in their turn within half a mile of Funkstown. The rebels .IOBt several men in the charge, and we took seventeen pri soners. Ourloss was only Four killed or wounded. Among the prisoners taken was Lieutenant Ashby, of the 7th Virginia Cavalry. The wounded from Funkstown arrived here last night, and are being properly taken care of. Among them are several rebel soldiers, which the humanity of our men prompted them to remove to a place of safety and relief. It was an affectiog spectacle to see, as I did to-night, a number of our own soldiers visit the hospital, And at the request of the suffering rebels tie up their wounds, bring them water, and soothe their pain with all the limited means at hand. Our cavalry, infantry, and artillery are pushing forward to the front with the 5 greatest possible speed, i). Near Funkstown, July 11, 1863. THE POTOMAC. Yesterday we found the rebels a few miles from Boonsboro. The river being impassable, we soon expected to make them ours. I thought Providence had never been bo propitious to the Army of the Po tomac. A little superfluous rain caused irrevocable disaster, and complete defeat to the imperial army of the French. Might not thesame element unite .with loyalty and justice in overwhelming, confusing, and confounding tieason’a invading cohorts 1 The Poto mac, wroth with the constant turmoil on her bankß, wearied with the frequent crimsoning of her waterß, and the splash of stark corses into her tide, raised in fearful majesty above her banka, and loudly mur muredruin, disaster. defeat to the already distressed rebels. The Hoods had lifted .up their gates on high; the victorious armies of Meade and Couch ,we;e everywhere harassing and pursuing 1 . Whither, then, could our foes flee, and be sale 1 - What Austerlitz was to Waterloo, ’Gettysburg would be to the ap proaching battle, . LEAPING THE BARRICADE. Beaver creek bridge, on the Hagerstown turnpike, had been barricaded with logs, old stumps of trees, and fence-raili, making a chevaux defrise which would turn away oidinary cavalry. But our cavalry are extraordinary now, and our impetuous troopers, angry at being detained a single moment, leaped this fearful barrier, and captured the handful of as tonished and bewildered sharpshooters who held us in check. T say they were astonished—yes, con fused, confounded. One of the prisoners; after seve ral unsuccessful articulations, managed to exclaim, in tones of commingled wonder and admiration, “Why, whowould ever thought your cavalry could fight so .well? Not long ago they would only run away from us j now they always charge Into us.” THE SIXTH PENNSYLVANIA. The 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry (Rush’s Lancers,) since they abandoned their unmanageable spears, have been rapidly winning fame with sabre and car bine. It is the frequent remark of officers and men, “ How thiß troop has become changed !” Instead of adding to the pomp and pageantry of some officer’s staff, or detracting from their own worth by being the despised guard which drives Dnward the strag glers of the great army, they are now enabled, by the course they have adopted; to inflict injury upon the enemy, and add unwonted lustre to that arm of the service they have adopted. SEDGWICK’S CORPS. It was 7 o’clock A. M. when Buford’s cavalry force attacked the enemy. The whole Army or the Po tomac was steadily marching after the retreating columns, while our cavalry annoyed their rear, and the frequent discharges from the horse batteries were constantly throwing them into confusion. The 6th Corps rhad been drawn up in line of battle as early as 3 .o’clock in the morning, their position, being on a high ridge, commanding the country in front, while the dark mountains in our rear could be dimly perceived through the mist.- As soon as the sun began to dispel these wandering vapors, the cannonading began to be loud and General Sedgwick marched his men in the direction of the conflict and formed along line of battle, about seven miles from FuDkstown, within supporting distance of the cavalry, who were frequently met hy infantry, with whom they could do nothing, being in Btrong force, • BUFORD’S ENGAGEMENT. About noon, General Buford was obliged to with draw for want of ammunition, having driven the enemy into Funkstown, sometimes causing them to retreat on the double-quick. His lobs is very light. Captain Smith, of the Bth New York Cavalry, was wounded in the We inflicted considerable damage on the enemy, and captured a large number of prisoners. Our infantry skirmishers- now came up, and the sharp crack of the Enfield rifle could be heard over the report of carbines. A few rods in the rear of our skirmishßrß, Captain Daniels, of the Signal Corps, established a station, and began to communicate with General Howe’s Vermont Bri gade of the 6th Army Corps. The enemy espied our flag, and began shelling with fearful accuracy. One bomb knocked a man from his horse, and, not know ing where the next might fall, I took the precaution to dismount, In the meantime, General Howe’s command were silently defiling through the woods, in close column. . The rebels saw them from the tall steeple of the Lutheran Church, in Hagerstown, wheie I could see their flag was flying. Immedi ately, the heavy battery they had stationed at Funkstown opened on the troopß in the woods with shell and grape-shot. The range was excellent, and every shell struck the woods with accuracy and ex ploded. In breathless suspense, I watched the place where I knew our brave men Were concealed, and almost expected to. see them driven back by the storm of .grape and shell. For ten minutes the noise of their battery was unceasing,and unintermifctent, and every shell fell in the woods, from whence not a muimur could be heard/save the bursting of rebel shells. The men in those woods were heroes,'every man of them. Soon our advance meet the enemy. Volley after, volley, is heard. The rebelß, to save their guns from being captured, again retreat, and :the ioar of artillery has ceased.•• FIGHTING NEAR THE ANriETAIII. From my commanding position on the fence, I can seethe rebels massing troops in a wheat field, a mile distant, and on the opposite side of Antietam creek there, is a regiment of cavalry, two regiments of infantry. At this time a portion of our forces are advanced almost to Funkstown, leaving a flank of two miles unprotected but by the Antietam. "Where these rebels are congregating is a bridge, guarded by a hundred men—we have no other force.here, no ar tillery, no pickets,. It is evident they mean to cross, attack this improvised and unprotected flank on our left and capture our line of skirmishers oil the right, and if possible vanquish the ; brave troops who are marching on their battery.at Funkstown/ Our horses were removed to wherejthey would not be so liable to receive a stray shot, while we breathlessly washed the rebels who were far bslow us, on the. left. The men guarding the bridge were forced back and the rebels began to i’emove the obstruction. If something was not done speedily we would all be captured or killed. Something wag done, A battery came thundering up the hill; and in a few .minutes the pieces were unlimbered and pointing their dark muzzleß at the rebel flanking party. Soon a long line of skirmishers appear, and then a brigade of tlie Sixth Corps march Bteadily up, regardless of the attention they receive from-the rebel battery, Our guns began to roar, and I believe I never listened to sweeter music. Finding us prepared to receive them, the rebels dared not approach nearer, bub re tired with greater alacrity than they had advanced one half hour before. The Vermont brigade lost foul' kUled and about ilxtjr wounded. Col, StougU PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY in, 1863. ten, of the 4th Vermont, was severely wounded in the forehead by a minie ball, whioh passed through the vizor of his cap, while he was bravely leading his men. ’ ■w’' ARE THE REBELS ESCAPING? Up to this time, our lines had been very irregular, but they now began to assume the bold shape anil outline of battle. We held a high crest, which stretched out its arms Tor miles, and overlooked the broad valley beneath, which was surrounded and intersected by hills of less prominence. Here, then, was our extreme right. The left-rested on Sharps* burg, the centre on the Williamsport road, leading from Boonsboro. The enemy seemed to be in great force on the right and left, where they seemed busily engaged in entrenching themselves. • Heavy, guns were placed in position, our reserve near, and a large cavalry force.,held .in readiness. Every one expected the great battle to take place on Saturday. Today our cavalry have gone out to reconnoitre, but thuß far have failed to 'discover the rebelß. I conversed with an officer belonging to Kilpatrick’s command, who rode alone in to Hagerstown, past the Washington House, and saw no rebels. Our outposts are not yet into Fuhkßtown. It is now noon, and there has been no skirmishing—no can nonading. There is & strange stillness, along our whole iinei Does it forebode the bursting of a pent up storm on the morrow, or havethe enemy tri umphed over the “Loyal Potomac!” Has the quarry escaped the hunters! I fear they are clean' gone p that the American Waterloo will not be fought in Maryland. ' CROSSING THE POTOMAC. I learn from good sources that they have been Grossing the Potomac for some time. Rafts and flat boats were used. First the wounded and the wagons went over; last,the dispirited and defeated army. Of course we .will pursue them, Perhapß it was best we did hot come up with them sooner, for they are, no doubt; stronger than we. Our troops had just performed a wearisome march over the moun tains, amid a heavy rain storm, and many of them were without shoeß. But every man seemed eager to punißh the rebelß before they left Maryland. The victoryat Gettysburg has had a* wonderful effect upon the Army of the Potomao; They look upon another defeat aB impossible, 'and regiments who before grumbled because of the weight of forty rounds of cartridges wanted sixty and a hundred. Some actually smuggled more than allowed. *■ Reinforcements are being rapidly urged forward, and when overtake-the enemy wc will not fail to come off conquerors.' RUMORS. I am in the extreme front, and every day listen to an assortment of rumors, which are gravely told me,’with an all-important air—such, as Couoh,being upon the rebels, Heintzelman reinforcing Meade, General Dix on the other side of the Potomac wait ing for the enemy to cross. Pleasonton’s cavalry, force passed here last night, and the story of Stuart having made another raid into Pennsylvania gained credence, and that Pleasanton was after him. The men all,seem to think that General Pleasanton is especially detailed to take care of .General Stuart. THE SITUATION, Thatthe rebels have been holding us back with small bodies of cavalry and sharpshooters 1b quite clear. The line of battle formed, the rifie.pitß and entrenches dug, were mere ruses, to set us at work, and dißtract attention from the points where they were crossing. Their day, of trouble is not forever past, it is only postponed. Sunday we drove them from Funkstown, and our forces now occupy Ha gerstown. ..General Couch is reported to have formed a junction with Meade'.

Chambersburg, Pa., July 11,18Q3; After, writing’you from Shippensburg I wended my way hither by. a private carriage borrowed for the purpose. The turnpike between the two places was more or leas crowded with soldiers and wagons, whilst at several points in shady groveß were seen regiments that had halted for repose. along the route looked well, but are actually dead ripe and suffering for want of men and horses to gather in the harvest. At Gelainger’s hill, near to Green village,-where Ewell had headquarters,, there is considerable evidence of desolation; the rc- „ maiEß of rebel encampments are also to' be seen, with here and there old shoes, hats, and coats, which in dubitably indicate their, quondam Sccesli ownership. I should havesaid from Shippensburg ' that, with very few exceptions, the inhabitants vied with each other in their kind attentions to the noble soldiers, aU of whom conducted themselves* With marked propriety, except a potion of .thc'7lst N. Y., which gave.some bad indications of original rowdyism. Some straDge things occur in this bor der-country in these wartimes, and not the least of . these was the double use that was made of the hospi tality of NeviD,Esq., by .officers of the opposing foroes. Mr. N. (who is .a brother of the Rev. Dr. Nevin of your in a handsome / country seat just adjoining the town. . When .the?; rebel hordeß were moving down tho..valley General Johnston and staff made this comfortable residence their home for a day or two, and, as we have learned, conducted themselves with much decorum, although they received no attention than was necessary to prevent the use of coercive measures on their part. On last Thursday evening we had the pleasure of meeting, at ike.same place, Major Gen. Couch and staff, consisting of Col. Coppde and Majors McVeigh and Burt, all of whom were treated with the most marked cordiality, and left the impression of . brave, , cultivated, and courteous gentlemen. As we-sat upon the verandah with them, in the beautiful star light, and looked abroad upon the camp-fires of,the several regiments that had pitched .their tents in the . lovely surrounding valley, and listened to the thril ling music which the bands discoursed, we could not : feel that the magnificent scene should ever fade from our recollection. .• - .»«.*. ' Chambersburg shows the trail of the rebel serpent that has/so recently visited it. The destruction of the railroad buildings and the paralysis of business indicate that the two weeks’ rule of an insolent foe has ? just ended*. An eminent physician has just in . formed me that 47,000 rebel 1 soldiers Vassed through . this plaice in two days eastward. ' Whilst they so journed here there was a good deal of rudeness and vulgarity exhibited by them.;* It seems that a I)r. Tod—brother-in*law of our President—in the ab sence of Dr. Richards, one of the leading physicians here, entered the Doctor’s office, and even descended to the cellar, looking around for something to appro priate to himself; but Miss Richards, a delicate and cultivated young lady, followed him, and drove him from the premises by declaring that he must leave under penalty of having his head cracked with an axe, which she held uplifted in her hands. A little more of this spirit, seasonably displayed by the sterner sex here, might, we think, have prevented much trouble, dread, *and loss, occasioned by last year’s raid and this year’s invasion. Last evening, I visited the hospital in the centre of the town, and found Borne thirty wounded rebels, brought* over irom Gettysburg, some with a bullet through the leg, some with a bullet through their abdomen, and some others so badly hurt as to have required- the amputation of a limb. I conversed freely with several of them about the folly and wickedness of.the war upon our Government, but they did not appear to incline to my way of think ing. A few of them bore marks of intelligence and * cultivation, but the mass of them are very plain and ignorant men. This; indeed; is the character of : nine-tenths of the rebel soldiers; they don’t seem to know what they are fighting for. I hear from gen tlemen who have talked with crowds of them, that they nearly all express themselves as tired of the war and having no disposition to engage in it again.’ The great crisis seems to be at hand. The enemy is.fortifying itself near. Boonsboro, and our forces are moving forward in great numbers to participate in whats it is hoped,--will prove the final and deci- Bive battle.; Four or five regiments of New; York and Pennsylvania have marched through our streets, this morning, on their way to the seat of operations, and five or six others, I learn, are immediately' in' their rear. Ab they pass through* the citizens feel their hearts throbbing with ‘gratitude and pride, not only at the contrast between these noble; well dressed men, and the wretched specimens of-huma nity which have for a fortnight been holding them in durance vile, but also, for the sense of security which they now feel, and for the brightening hope that- these advancing masses of with Meade’s victorious army all along the Potomac, will givfi-the demoralized and insulated foe such a Wa: • terlCO defeat thatno organized rebel army will there after remain, and Secession will become small by degrees and beautifully leas, until its lurid fires shall be extinguished in the darkness of a midnight that Bhall be followed with the day dawn of an honora ble peace, a purified national integrity, and an endu ring prosperity. God grant’that this hope may be realized, and that right speedily! It is gratifying to see how our brave fellows,'not withstanding all the fatigiie of their long, dusty, and -hot marches, brighten as they paßS : the banners pendant across these** streets. The moment the waving flag catches their eyes, off go their caps and up go their voices in loud hurrahs for the -national emblem. Last night : a‘ large crowd ga-- thered in front of one of the hotels to serenade Ge neral Couch, and a portion of Mb staff that he'd just arrived;- Eloquent addresses were made by Colonel -Meßeynolda, of New York; and Major McVeigh, of Pennsylvania, to whioh the orowd responded in un-. mistakable manifestations of their manly and hope ful patriotism; -- Colonel W. B. Thomas’regiment was one of the number that passed through town this morning. I was glad to hear that the rumor afloat for awhile, that one of their companies was cut up at Hanover . Junction, was utterly without foundation. Much credit, I am happy to Bay, is due to Captain Shelby, Company C, who, Beeiog a rebel force approaching fc bridge a mile or two from the Junction, so boldly at tacked them as to leave the impression of vastly su perior numbers, and drove them back; thus saving - four other companies, a little distance behind, by h!s determined courage. •-.> As skirmishing took place lnat night near Boons boro, it is generally supposed that the great battle Will come off to-day; or to-morrow. I am near enough to hear the booming of the cannon when it Oh, how many anxious hearts arc just now turned to that field of coming and fierce conflict; and how much depends on the issue of the bloody strife that is impending! May the right hand of a just God get us the viotory, and may our future as a people compensate for all the toil, tears, treasure, and blood which a wicked rebellion has made neces sary for the conservation of our nationality!

After that is done you can set about recti fying .. THE RIOT IN NEW YORK. A RECORD OF ARSON, RAPINE, - AND MURDER. , The following incidents and scenes of the ruffians’ saturnalia in New York are gathered from all the accounts of yesterday. The commencement and growth of this systematized brutal outbreak have, to some extent, been already described. Tkefollow ing enlarges the revelation of this appalling up heaval of the lowest lawlessness and oiiuie of the metropolis. The monstrous faction which has risen against the law now assumes its proper character as a rebel to patriotism and liberty THE FIREMEN—UHIEB I ENGINEER DECKER. It that as soon as this crowd had taken up their way toward Broadway, another important character appeared on the scene.- It was Mr. John Decker, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. He had been hurriedly sent for, and he had hurriedly come. ' He took in at a glance the situation. The de vouring flame, unchecked and apparently unheeded, was eating its way through the block, and driving family after family from bed and board by its relent less progress. His fire apparatus, of which ordinari ly he is bo proud, stood idle; Their natural enemy, the fire, waß-laughing at-'them, while engine, truck, and hose carriage, -stood listless. . Chief Decker Bald that it would be useless to set his men at work at that instant without the consent of the rioters; had he attempted it they would have destroyed the whole fire apparatus in twenty mi nutes; the universal Americans were before him; he would make anpeech; he did make a speech ;it was brief, necessarily, for nia neighbor’s house was burn ing before his eyes. D must have been hard to address those fellows as by the light of the fire they had themselves kindled, and which, hot as it was on this broilingiday, was not, let us humbly hope, one-tenth part as hot as the reception which, in another world, surely awaits everyone who burns houses over the heads of’widows and orphans, and then robs them by the light of:it. r ; However, hard as it* was, Decker swallowed the dos'e, arid mounting a barrel, called for a moment’s “ order,” which'was granted, while'"he spoke as fol lows, beiDg continually interrupted by jeers and cheers and ironical remarks. At last he made them hear this much:. v Fellow-Citizens : I ftand hera before you to appeal to your coromon-eense: I will not say.a. word at present as.tO the rights of your, cause. About the draft von, doubtless,.feel you are right.' There is no mistake it- is thing for a- man to have to leave his home anli^o'soldiering if. he, did not wish to go, but I caa : t i argue llii? question how.

Engineer Declcer then got.his engines ready, but uefore they threw a diop of water one of their “rear .guara ” had run round and notified the 15 Broad way ” crowd, who came’tearing back, howling, swearing; and v.o wingTengeance. ’ r .Ih less than a minute they cleared the streets,, drove the firemen from their engines, stoned the po lice out of the Btreets, and again took possession of hose-carriageß, &c., which, however, they did not damage. . Half an hourlater, however, Chief Decker got his engines at work, and succeedediii eventually saving a part of the building on the corner of Forty* seventh ■street; the whole of the rest of the block having been burned. ", . THE MOB ORATOR. : The speech fdf Mr, Andrews, of Virginia, a ring leader of the riot, is published in full by the Daiiy tsem: . - He commenced by saying that he wished that he had stentorian lungs that he might make himself heard, which, however, he had ho hope of doiag be-" yond a very narrow space; but he wished most de voutly that there was a reporter present who might parry his words to the clique in Washington, who had caused all this trouble to the country, ami es pecially to the city of New had sent -more men to the war, and had given more money to sustain'"it,.than wab recorded on the history of the] world. [Loud and continued cheering ] He had told them lately at a meeting in the Cooper In- that Lincoln, this Nero, this Caligula, this despot, meant .by this conscription bill to let Die rich man go and earn more money 9 shoddy contracts, and have the poor man dragged from his family and sent to the war to fight for the negro, and not to restore the Union. [Groans, hisses, and cries, “To hell . with Old Abe.”] Why was this conscription now attempted? Had they been more free with theii£ lives or their money in the Revolutionary war of their lathers? Had they given more freely in the WAr with Great Britain In 1812? Did men ever fight more bravely in any battles in the world than they fought throughout the conflict with the South? And now the Abolition.*Administration wanted a conscription. [Great excitement, and cries of “It can’t, be done.”] He was not against a fair con scription, but he was against a conscription that ex empted the rich man; and sent the poor man to fight end leave .his wife- and children to starve at home. [Here the cheers, roars, and hisses became so deafen ing that the-speaker requested that he might not be ■ interrupted, as he was well-nigh exhausted.] Resist the di-alt, he continued.' Organize to resist it! Ap point your leader; and, if necessary, I will become your leader. : THE MOB AND ITS RINGLEADERS, success, the mob, which by-this time -had been largely reinfore’ea,' next formed themselves intg marauding parties, and paraded through the neighboring streets,-looking more like/ so many in furiated demons, the men being more or less intoxi cated. dirty, and half-clothed. Some shouted, “Now for the Filth-avenue Hotel—thebe’s where the Union Leaguers meet! “Others clamored amongthemselves for the myskets which they had taken from the sol diers. The streets were thronged with women add children, many of whom instigated the, men to fur ther work of blood, 'while the, injured men left the . crowd, ; and found seats up the street corners, at one of Which the reporter heard the following conver sation an intoxicated youth, who was badly wounded in the head, and an elderly excited woman, probably his mother: Youth-^ 1 An’ bedad,'if it hadn’t been for this lick, which the son of a _guv me, I’d a belabored him ’aior this. And bedad Iwudi” 'Womanrrj* iYlusshanulasha, ye betters mind yer own business.” Youth—“No, if Sam. Garrigan [or Galligauz-Rep.] had a’ dun the business browner.it wud be all right.” • From this it may be inferred that the Sam. Garri gan, or Galligan, mentioned in the conversation above, is the ringleader, of which there can be little dotibt, as,the reporter frequently heard Garrigan’s or.Galligan’s name oheered and called the “Bully bpy.” Garrigan or Galligan, we .believe, iB a well known wire-puller ot the ward, and from conversa tions between the men, we gleaned the following, which may betaken for what it is worth: 1. That { Garrigan or Galligan is the ringleader. 2. Thatthe . mob, numbering about 500 men, assembled this morn ing at Central Park, armed and equipped, i. e., with clubs and sticks, and. from there proceeded to the provost marshal’s office, where they commenced their work of depredation. ALDERMAN MASTERSON’S ADDRESS, ; Alderman Masterson, of the Twenty-second ward, addreeßcd the mob. He SAid: Gentlemenl am opposed to this draft as much as any man in this crowd. [Cheers.] lam in favor of burning down that building that was burned down, [cheers,],but lamopposad to having these poor people’s homes burned down. It will do no good to you or to anybody else. r [Cheerß.] I there fore ask you tostana back and let us save the build ing. It is the property of a poor man, who cannot get a cent of the insurance on it if it is destroyed. SCENES BY AN EYE*WITNESS. At 11 A. M. word reached the Park Barracks of the disturbance, and Lieut. Reid and a detachment ol the Invalid Corps immediately‘repaired to the scene of the liot. They went by the" Third avenue route, : the party occupying one car.' On the way up, /crowdß of men, women, and children gathered at the street comers, hißsed and jeered them, and some even went so far as to pick up stones, which they de fiantly threatened to throw, at the car. When near the scene of disturbance, Lieut. Reid and command alighted and formed in company line, in which or der they marched up to the mob*.- Facing the rioters, the men were ordered to fire, which many of them did, the shots being blank cart- v , ridges; but the smoke had scarce cleared away when the company (which did not number more than fifty men, if as many;) were attacked and completely demoralized by the mob, who were armed with clubs, sticks, ewordB, and other implements. The soldiers had their bayonets taken away, and they themselves were compelled to seek refuge in the side streets, but, in attempting to flee thither, several, it is said, . were killed,' while those that escaped did so only to be hunted like dogs, but in a more , inhuman and -brutal manner. They were chased by the mob, who divided themselves into squads, and frequently a single soldier would be caught in a side street with each end blocked up by the rioters. The houses and stores were all closed, (excepting a few liquor shops, which had their ahutters up,' but kept the back door ropenj) no retreat was. therefore; open for him, and ;the ; poor fellow would be beaten almost to death, 'when, the mob becoming satiated and disgusted with their foul work, he would be left sweltering in blood, unable to help himself. A DANCE OF FIENDS. The rioters meantime danced with fiendish delight ? before the burning building, while the small boys “Rocks” and “Softs” sent showers of stones against the office, smashing in the doors and win v dows, the fire seeming to do the work too tardily to suit them. atmosphere and the heavy, black clouds which lined the horizon, formed a‘ : strange, weird spectacle, which was m ade the more complete by the demoniac yells of the mob. SOLDIERS , MURDERED. To resume the thread of our report, the military being/ immediately routed, they fit a to the side streets, where, as we have shown, they were shame fully maltreated. After this the mob concentrated, and returned to the fire, where they found their fiieudß Awaiting them,' with nourishment in the shape of liquors, which, as may be supposed, only added fuel to'the fire already kindled; whisky, soon Accomplished its mission 5 the men became quarrel some, and squabbled amongst themselves. Some boasted of what they had done, one man boasting that hchad nearlykilled two soldiers, and wounded manymore. Another, am obese,' small, villainous looking Irishman, who carried the butt of a bayo net; 2 boasted that he had “done for” a nigger. Others, suffering from the wounds they .had re ceived, consoled themselves by exclaiming : Never mind, Seymour and Wood are around, and will help us!” and “ Old Abe will pay $3OO to 'keep quiet,” andthe like. All vehemently protested against the “ $3OO clause,” and .were willing; to be drafted, if the rich man would be made . to/ shoulder the mus ket the same as they. Those'who had done the most in routing the military, such as chasing a soldier until he lell from sheer exhaustion, and then beat ing him/till he. was ■’near dead, were cheered and petted by their friends, who, both men and women, gathered around them by dozens. HOW SOLDIERS WERE SLAUGHTERED, One of the guard endeavored to make his ess ape by climbing the rocks near Forty second street. No sooner, however, was his intention discovered,-than another portion of the rioters “grabbed” him, and takihg*hini to the top of the rocks stripped his uni form off him, and after beating him! almost to a jelly, threw him down a precipice some twenty feet high on the hard rocks beneath; not content with this, stones and dirt were thrown at him as he laid help less until he w&b half buried.' / The pursuit was kept up as far as Twentieth street, when it was abandoned, and a majority ot; the men escaped. One of.the soldiers was pursued up Forty flrst street to First avenue,when a crowd of some twenty men surrounded him, knocked him down and, beat him until he-was insensible. A number of women joined in, and one of them endeavored. to stab him with a bayonet, but another, woman took the weapon’out of her hand and cAixled it off. The soldier was left dead oh the walk. MASSACRE OF rOLICEMCSN. During the row a man, said to.be an officer or a policeman, in undress uniform, shot a horse pur posely, it is stated, had the animat moved, it would be ' at the lisk'-of the life of those standing ai ound him j th'e owner-vthe hovse-wasattaohed to a dray—endeavored' to clutch the man, who dodged him And ran up a flight or stairs in a house hear by, with the probable intention of getting on to the roof to escape the mob/ who . were so infuriated at the deed, which they, of oourK/interpretel tobe Kteta liatory. act'On : his part; he was pursued and c&agged down stairs-with;his skull broken, when pitched to the mob, who, it is said, literally tore'hW to pieces.

Another was beaten until his eyes were so clotted with blood that he could not see. v SUPERINTENDENT KENNEDY. AlaslJor this hapless personage; for once noto riety was knocks—celebrity meant , clubs—distinc tion meant <l D—n the Yankee perlice son of a (not lady) ; down with him! duck him! drown him all of which they proceeded to do, save the latter. This item in their promised programme was more than they could accomplish, though the other performances they went through with to the letter. And this hapless individual was John A. Kennedy, superintendent of the police force of the city of New York. The mob nearly killed him* They meant to kill him. They set out with a determination to kill him. They heat him, dragged him through the streets by his head, pitched him into a horse-pond, rolled him in mud-gutters, dragged him through piles of filth indescribable. All the time kicks, blows, and cufife innumerable were bestowed by those near est to him. Those in the background reached over the stooping heads of their murderous colleagues in their front, and pitched Btones, whole, bricks, quan tities of mud, and every available harmful missile their hands could reach, and celebrated their holi day murder by such shouts of joy and Bavage glee as could only be emitted from barbarous throats. THE COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM. The Orphan Asylum, in Fifth avenue, near Forty- was fired about 5 o’clock in the after noon.; The infuriated mob, eager for any outrage,- were turned that way by the simple suggestion that the building was full of colored children. They clamored around the house like demons, filling the air with yells. * A few policemen, who attempted to make a stand, were instantly overpowered—several being severely or fatally injured. While this was going on, a few of the less evil disposed gave notice to the inmates to quit the building. The sight of the helpless creatures stayed, for a moment, even the insensate mob; hut the orphans were ; no sooner out than the work of demolition .commenced. First the main building was gutted, and then set on fire. While it was burning, the large; wing adjoining—used as a dormitory—was stripped, inside and out. Several hundred iron bed steads were carried off—such an exodus of this arti cle was never witnessed before, perhaps. They ra diated in every direction for half a mile.* 1 Carpets weie dragged away at length: desks, stools, chairs, tables, books of all kinds, everything movable, waß carried off. Even the caps and-bon nets of the poor children were stolen. The writer picked up fragments of testaments for a quarter of a mile down Fifth avenue. While the rioters stripped the building of furniture, their wives and children, and hundreds who were too cowardly to assist the work of demolition, carried them off. - The wing, while jet unburniDg, swarmed with rioterß, who seemed endowed with a demoniacal energy to rend in pieces, rob, and destroy. ’ - Shutters and doors were torn off ahd tumbled into the streets. These were seized and torn to pieces almost before they touched the ground; and, with everything else, carried off with surprising celerity. Several persons were injured, and it is supposed some killed, by the falling of shutters and furniture from windows. Another account tells us Chief Decker undertook to remove a quantity of burning rubbish from- one of the roomß, when a rioter.drew a revolver and ex claimed, “If you attempt'to put out this fire I’ll shootyou.” “ Shoot and he d-ftl;”iwas the answer, and he proceeded with his work; Meantime, Mr. Everett and Mr. Bates went do wn to the first floor of the building, and found a pile of combustible ma terial about seven feet high all in a blaze. ThB fire men used every exertion to save the building, but the mob had doomed it, and resistance was useless. OUTRAGES UPON COLORED PERSONS. Among the most cowardly.featuree of the riot, and one which indicated its political anivius and the cun ninglydevised cue that had been given to the rioters by the instigators of the outbreak, was the causeless and inhutban treatment of the negroes of the city. It seemed to be an understood tMDg Throughout the city that the negroes should be attacked wherever found, whether they offered any provocation or hot. As soon as.one of theßQ unfortunate people was spied, whether on a cart, a railroad car, or in the street, he was immediately set upon by a crowd of men and boys, and unlesß some man of pluclc came to his rescue, or he was fortunate enough to escape into a building, be was inhumanly beaten, and, perhaps, killed. There were probably not less than a dozen negroes beaten to death in different parts of the city during the day. BLACK MEN STRIPPED, HUNG, AND BURNED. The following accounts of the murder of colored men we take from the World and Daily News : An Intense excitement was created in the vicinity of Bleecker street and Sixth avenue last evening, in consequence of a white citizen being shott while passing up Bleecker street. - The facts as ascertained during the excitement are as follows: A gentleman, whose name has not been thus far ascertained; was going, to his home, when-he-was accosted by a partially intoxicated negro, who was so abusive in his language as to provoke a .quarrel. Some alter cation ensued from this abuse, when the. negro drew, a pistol and shot the white man, who soon after died.. The; facta being made known to the crowd of citi zens who had by this time assembled, they pursued the negro, and overtook him near the old graveyard in Carmine street. Here they beat him in a shock ing manner, and procured a rope to hang him. After they had succeeded in procuring the rope they adjusted it, but before drawing him up they cut his throat. The mob then threw the rope over a limb of a tree and pulled him up. The negro, who waß beaten to a state of insensibility, could offer no resistance.' -After hanging about half an'hour they procured some old wood and paper and built a fire directly underneath him, ana burned every particle of cloth ing off him. This burning was renewed two or three times, and as our reporter left, the crowd had in creased to several hundreds, and every kiqd of curse upon Ihe head of the negro before them was uttered. The body of the negro waß cut down at half past eleven o’clock, by the police, and taken to the Ninth Precinct Station House. About eight o’clock last evening four negroes were seen runniDg down Carmine street, with a large crowd in close pursuit. One of the negroes being overtaken, turned and fired upon his pursuer, Bhoot ing him with three bullets, and killing him instantly; The negroes then separated, each taking a different route. The pursuit of the three others was given up, but they pursued the .first to near the corner of Yarick street, where he was secured and very badly beaten. His cries for mercy were perfectly awful and,: horrifying. He was beaten till dead, and then hung to a tree. The field was then left to a party of boys, who amused themselves by building a fire around and under him. ROBBING THE STORES. A large detachment ot rioters ran down to the en rolment-rooms, corner of Broadway and Twenty ninth street. The object here waß evidently plunder. The lower, part, of this fine building was compoaed/of stores, filled with costly goods. carried off. A jeweller’s shop was the object of special attentions. Gold watches, brooches, bracelets, breast-pins, and all manner of valuable bijouterie fie w about in the crowd, flashing in the light. The negroes ! were forgotten in the more congenial business- of robbery. A gentleman stood by the writer,- and usable to contain himself, exclaimed: “ This is an unspeakable outrage; as an American citizen, I am ashamed.” The words were scarce out of his mouth before he was prostrated by a blow from a cudgel, anu his head split open» As soon as the stores were stripped, the cry arose : Burn Ilie building! Burn it! Burn it!” Half a hundred willing hands were at work In a moment., The house seemed to. be fired in as many E laces at once, for it was in flames from garret to asement in’five minutes. The flames roared in emulation of the demons’ throats that yelled around them. As at the Asylum, the engines were on hand, but were forced to be idle. The firemen restrained themselves with difficulty—unaccustomed to see the flames rage without fighting them—and at length began to play on the adjoining building, in which they were not interrupted. The walls fell nearly simultaneously, and with an. awful crash, not twenty minuteß after the matches weie set. Within an hour of the time of the first attack, the mob was off for the . Tri&une office. Threats against prominent Republican leaders were freely uttered, and various schemes were heard to %e canvassed by squads of the rioters. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE ATTACKED. At a little after half past seven o’clock, and while the crowd in Printing House Square was fully as large and threatening as it had been at any previous part of the day, the excitement immediately in front of the Tt'ibune. office, the. lower, part of which-was closed and in darkness, reached its culminating point. •A. couple of Btones were thrown, and crash, went the glass in the windows, and a general hurrah and waving of hats ensued. The attack thu* commenced was briskly continued; a shower of stones was ' kept up amid the cheers of the people, while the foremost of, their number, armed withdubs, demolished all the remaining glass; on the lower floor/ andthe framework of the windows. Thenthe door was forced open, and the living tide rushed, in, while the cheer's and clamor grew louder than before. Everything inside that the mob could lay hands on and remove was carried into the street, and dashed or torn to f pieces. The fury of the multitude increased as the work of destruction proceeded, and the scene grew intensely exciting; The Times publication office, at the Oppo site corner, was also closed and unlighted/but from the composing and editorial rooms of the .paper a number of anxious faces looked down upon the com motion.' But irom the upperwindows all heads had been withdrawn, doubtless from prudent motives, stones being still flying at intervals. Suddenly, while, the, uproar and excitement were at their highest uitch. a Bhot waa . fired into the.erowd in the gutted office, and immediately a general stampede < tooklplace. Another: shot fol lowed, and then after a few moments’ lull the crowd appeared in even stronger force than before, but al though. it was evident/ that feeling ran very high among .them, they remained peaceable; While in possession of the office, they kindled a fire under the counter, but owingto the.dampness.of the papers jg-- nited and the rush of the people, it expired without producing the intended effect. . ATTACK ON. THR. ARMORY IN S SECOND ;AVEN|JE. The njob on Second avepus, Twenty-first and Twentyrsecond streets rapidly increased, and at the time the first attempt was made to force the doors, of the building, it amounted to from three to four. thousand, the, greater part.o/ whom were boys- At this time some eighteen or twenty men, followed by scores of youngsters, made an attempt to- force the doors of the armory on Twenty-first street. The • doors were burst open by nieans of heavy sledges, and the crowd made a rush to , enter the building. Those in charge of the .building, acting under in : struotiohs, fired upon those who were entering, and four or five were- wounded.- One man, named Michael Yanev. was shot through the heart, and died immediately. ” Vaney was a mechanic, and worked . in the Morgan Iron-works. He,was about 40 years of age, and resided in Twenty-third street, between avenues A and B. The other persons who.were shot are not regarded as befog seriously, injured. The shooting of Yaney, who w;aa op® of the ring leaders of the partymalung the attack/was the sig nal for a general onslaught upon the armory. Loud and deep were thecuraos uttered against the officers who had shot their, leader, and for the next hour ihepaving-Btones flew thick and fast, and not until the last pane of glass in the windows of the building had been, broken, did they desist. It is proper-to remark that nearly all those who threw the paving stones were boys under twelve years of.age. :. Dur ing all this time efforts of a desperate character were being made to fire the building. The* doors on Second-avenue were'finally forced open, and. m «xeitea Multitude, tried wieffept au entMnee, THREE CENTS. They promptly repelled by; those inside? Yery* soon they received leinforeementsi and again they made the attempt to enter, some of them wstir lighted torches in their hands. Meantime ad ea patch* was receive# by the officers of the Broadway aqua* in charge of the building, from; police headquarters, to the effbet that inasmuch as it was impossible to reinforce them, and the attacking party so greatly outnumbered them, they must retire in the best manner they could. In a short time they were all safely outside the building, with the exception of two ©?* their number, who-were pelted on the head with brickbats,;, one of them- was - very-seriously injured. The excitement against all policemen at this time ran so high that it was-regarded a most hazardous undertaking for one te'oliow himself to the excited populace. The fact that there was, a private en- the rear was a meat fortunate circumstance for them. ThejwlicehAving vacated the the mob found iComparatively an easy task to enter and fire the building. In fifteen minutes from the time the crowd had undisputed possession of it, the entire structure was a mass of flame; About half «■ dozen men remained inside as asotftof forlorn hope, and when all escape for them by the ordinary ways had been cut off by the flames, the poor fellows let them seliies down from the windows of the third'story, in the’ best manner they could. One took hold or the window sill, and another Blid down to his feet, and then dropped to the pavement. In thiß way they all managed to escape; but two of them had.each a leg broken, one" had his skull so mtsch fractured that he is not expected to recover, and another was so bruised and injured that when he was taken into a neighboring drug store' life seemed' extinct. Amid the excitement and confusion our reporter wab un able to obtaiu the names of any of those who were thus injured. THE MOB AND GOVERNOR'SEYMQTTR. . It is known that for some time past Governor Seymour has held out the promise to this treason able, Irish mob, that he would remove the Police Commissioners. They had been told that this step was to be taken yesterday, and it is believed in certain quarters that Governor Seymour did really intend to take this step yesterday; but the mob anticipated the act, and commenced their work of riot at an hour too early for the Governor to get out of bed. It is also known that a meeting of representatives of fire companies: was held' in a certain engine house on Sunday night, when they took action as to the course they should and would' pursue in the event of a riot. RIOTERS : ARRESTED. The rioters who have been arrested are all Irish;* many of them are fearfully bruised, and will remem ber the “ No draft” criais’for long years. It remains to be Been what disposition will be made of these scoundrels by the police courts to-day. Now jb the time for Governor Seymour’s tools to show their hands. SCENES AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS. Every available portion of the new building in ’ Mulberry street was crowded with policemen, who had been concentrated there to await orders. 'As ' soon as Mr. Superintendent Kennedy had been dis abled,* Mr. President Acton assumed command of tbe force, end made the beet possible disposition of his men. They were relieved at regular intervals, 1 and were provided, with they came in off;duty. The squad of five hunaßd men under Inspector Carpenter came upHoustonstreet, march ing to their own music, and sang the “Red, White and Blue” as they passed up the steps. While they stood in the hallway, Inspector Carpenter addressed ; -them, complimenting their'conduct in high terms,- and stating that he desired no greater honor than to lead bo n9ble a body of men. The Inspector was greeted with cheers. President Acton then appeared on the stairs and said : • “Men! I desire to thank you to-night, in the name of the people, for the great and signal service you have rendered to the city of New York. I as sure you your labors shall not be forgotten.” . Themen were then assigned rooms and provided' with refreshments. The telegraph operators and lire men worked Incessantly. Mr. Crowly; chief of the telegraph corps, finding the poles down: endea vored to attach the wires to lamp-posts, but was dis covered by the crowd, who, knowing his importance, held him a prisoner two hours. He finally escaped from them with but a few bruises. DESTRUCTION. OP A LARGE GUN FACTORY. About 4 o’clock another work of destruction was perpetrated at the corner of Twenty-first street and Second avenue. The large gun and ordnance factory, formerly known as Marston’s, recently cai ried on by Mr. Farley, a son-in-law of Mayor Opdyke, and which haß had considerable contracts for fire-arms with both our own and the Russian Government, was visited by about three thousand persons, who called on those in the. factory to leave off work and join the citizens in theirproceedings in opposition to the draft. This demand not being complied with, some of the crowd proceeded to batter in the doors, which had been closed from an early period of the day, and were said to be strongly fortified. The first attempt to break into the building was •met by a volley of musketry from the window, which killed several, four or five-we hare learned, and wounded a great number, some it is said mortally, and others severely. But the crowd outside only became the more infuriated by this rather rash and ill-advised attempt to check them, and the building was soon entered and fired. During the progress oT the fire great numbers of the workmen jumped from the windows, and were more or less injured ; others broke limbß, and were picked up half dead ; while several were brought out of the building, horribly • burned, two of them, reduced to a mere cinder, the human shape having altogether disappeared. *. A SICK MAN INCITES THE MOB. As the crowd started down. Fifth avenue, a pale, sick man, who appeared as if he belonged to the higher class of life, came out and addressed the front part of the ’ procession. His. speech was faintlm spoken and inaudible to all except those ia his im mediate vicinity; but he was understood to say that he sympathized heartily with the object* of the mob, and wished he was well enough to lead them down Broadway. He said they should organize before pro ceeding any further, so that they might be prepared to meet any opposition from or military,, as they were very likely to. do- before proceeding a mile farther." Those who heard him gave a round of-yell and cheers, and proceeded onward, conscripting the bystanders as they went, forcing them to “ fall in ” and march. Some carried rough clubs, some ■ gas pipes, some pieces of telegraph-wire, some legs of pianos, tables, or chairs, and some were apparently armed.: Our reporter at this spot saw no pistols or other deadly weapons of that kind, but he was in formed.that they were-plenty ini the crowd. Paving stones were occasionally thrown at houses as they: passed by. Some women cheered them, flourishing papers and handkerchiefs, and ethers were very much frightened and escaped from the scene as quickly as possible. MADNESS WITH A METHOD. The executive portion of the mob was made up of about 300 persons. Therewere more than these who threw an occasional stone, or howled an unearthly howl 5 but the .persistent working members of this tremendous brickbat committeewere not more than the number above stated. But this three hundred, it was plain to see, were acting under regularly selected leaders, were acting'with apreviously-un derstoodpurpose,and were carrying on their atrocities by the aid of a certain amount of rough but effective discipline. * No person who carefully watched the movements of this mob, who noted their careful attention to the words of certain tacitly-acknowledged leaders, who observed the unquestionably preconcerted regularity with which they proceeded from one part of their infernal programme to the next ;.and the persistency with which the “rear guard ” remained and fought off all who dared attempt to check any part of the destruction that everywhere marked their; work, can presume to doubt that these men are acting under leaders who have carefully elaborated their plans, who have, as they think, made all things sure. for their accomplishment; and that they are resolved to carry them out through fire and blood, this dav’s crimson work fully attests. .The vast crowd swayed to and fro, racing first in this direction, then in that, attacking indiscrimi nately every .well-dressed -man.; The general cry was, ‘‘Down with the rich men.” Three gentle men talking together on Lexington avenue were set upon and knocked down, narrowly escaping with their lives. A SUMMARY. Passing over the premonitory symptoms, we couie at once to the summing, up, which it may be more immediately intelligible to state at once. The facts, then, are these: The men who set on the howling mobs of yesterdays Monday, July 13, 1863, are, guilty of ag gravated assault and battery, of grand larceny , of crimi - • nally resisting the execution of the laws toith armed violence, of treason , of insurrection, -of arson, and of murder. The catalogue lacked but one atrocity to prove itself matchless in brutal villainy in the whole world’s history of even mob atrocity and violence; and so this mob —these amiable gentlemen—before they were' content to rest their tired heads upon , their innocent pillows, added this last and crowning' item to the Cbristian-like list of their Good-Sama rifcan deeds— they deliberately set on fires over the heads of .the terrified arid screaming children, an '■ Orphan Asylum . Does this fact call for comment 1 ? . PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYOR. Mayor’s . Office, N. Y. City, July 14, 1863. •? In.yiew of the riot now existing in this citv, I do hereby request all loyal citizens to report at the headquarters of the police, No. 300.

The veterans who have recently returned from the field of battle have again an; opportunity of ser ving, not only their country, but the great empo rium.of. New York, from the threatened dangers of a ruthless mob. The Commanding General of the Eastern Depart ment trusts that those .who have, exhibited so much bravery,in-the-field of. .battle will not hesitate to come forward at this time, to tender their sendees to the Mayor, to stay, the ravages of the‘city by men who have lost all sense of obligations to their country as well as to the city of New York.

Tribune. ] THE RIOT. - We give in other columns the fullest details that it is possible to collect Of theproceedings of the mob yesterday in.vario,us parts.ofthe city. Relentless and cruel and cowardly as all mobs are, the actions of this atleast are equal to any that nave yet earned a record in history. “Pull down that d— —_d fla? !,r -. was the greeting to the Stars and .Stripes. “Kill the d——d nigger !”• was. the infuriated howl raised At the sight of any unfortunate black man, woman; or child thatwaß.aeen on the street, in-the cars, or' an omnibus.

It was meant, undoubtedly, to break out oh the-4th, but poatpon ed by the defeat of Lee in Maryland, 'll was well known on Sunday that preparations w.ere made for the outbreak on Monday, aid the pointsofat tack and for,destruction were designated. The pity must protect itself. There are loyal citi zens enough to do sq, if they understand thia crisis in our affairs. Let them not be deceived by the be lief that this is a mere outbreak against the draft. It has a deeper meaning, and is literally a removal of the seat of war tq the banks of the Hudson.

One would have sup posed, that every colored man, woman, and child must* be a Wild beast, to judge from the savage and eager delight with which they were chased and bested and: stoned by these .wretched brutes in bu maU'lo'rm.. 3t seems inconceivable that bo much of pure, unadulterated ferocity; iso much of that clear, undifatedcruelty which Teels a keen and ecstatic, relish iff the infliction of torture upon others for own sske, can dwell in the human heart. But such hideoucroutbreaks hb that of yesterday draw aside the curtfrin and show us how much of the wild , beast, in spite of pur better qualities, really belong* to the baiter elements of our social life. .There 16* but one way to deal with this coarse bru-V. tality. It Paidle to reason with it,—worse than idle »■ to tamper with it; it must be crushed. Nothing but. < force can deal’with its open manifestations. Unless ; this city, is to:be.surreadered to the most lawless and., reckless of mob rule, this riot which broke out yep-. terday, and which, beyond all question, will renew its outrages, must be put down by force. If it -is paltered with, it will gain the upper hand, and then we might better live among savages than under the ruffians who will 1 rule and plunder us at their plea sure. _ 'AN APPEAL TO- THE POPULACE, [From the Daily News.l . , . In the hour of their anger and delirium let us ap peal to the manliness and better feeling of the work ingmen. We have the right to do it, for we have always been their champion against tyranny, and have.labored faithfully in their behalf throughput all their wrongs and troubles. We have been per secuted for the sake of our opinions which are now* their opinions, and our advocacy of the people’s rights has brought us under the ban of official au thority. The working classes' will not resent our deprecation of the lawless course they are pursuing, for we have always been .their friend, and we ar® entitled to a friend’s privilege of remonstrance. ‘ , Let a voice that 'comes’ from one whom you can trust, and who is with you in all Jegitimate oppoat-'. tion to despotism, be heard among you. Listen to. it and take counsel from'it, for you have but to ' search the record to know that it has never lied to you and will never betray your cause. We have so" much at stake, our poor country appeals to ub io pitioußly, that we cannot* afford to lose our oppor tunities in the vortex of excitement and blind fury. For the sakes of you! 1 country and your cause, be men. Arise superior 'to the passions of the mo ment, and let your future action be calm, consid^ . rate, and noble. New York city must give an ex ample to the North, but it must not be an example of UDbridled license, anarchy', and raßbneßs. Die, if it need be,' to defend yoiir’rights, but let there be no stigma upon the names of your fraternity, and let no history hereafter recount of your deedßthat your ’ children will blush to read. do' not harm The negro. We'hear of several instances that occurred yester day of extreme violence towards unoffending blacks. The poor negro is beginning to taste the bitter food prepared for him by Abolition philanthropy. ■- We appeal to our citizens to be more kind to him than his professed bosom friends hare been, who embrace him but to crußh. ' He is not to blame for the mis fortune that has befallen ns. He is but the victim of fanaticism, and should be rather pitied than as sailed; Let him not be persecuted for the sins of others. -It 1b cowardly and unjust to single him out aB an. object for popular wrath. Let him go his way unmolested, for it is unworthy a freeman to make war upon an inferior race in the spirit of revenge. YESTERDAT’B RIOT, [From the World. 3 New York yesterday saw the saddest sight that she has ever seen since her first foundation-stone was laid. The shameful history of the day is writ ten on another page. The stigma will cling to her name and fair fame long after the printed page has perished. Last night the northern sky was red with lurid fires lit by the handß of an infuriated mob; nothing but the smoking walls - remain of an asylum for negro orphans ; men, a score and more, who saw the morning sun, lie stark and dead ; workshops were deserted, and the passion of the laborer becoming, as it ever does, the:opportunity of the ruffian, a saturnalia of pillage, murder,* and rapine, threatened again and agaiD to set-in upon the commercial metropolis of the Union. Crowds all day marched hither and thither along the streets, reckless, unguided, with a burning sense of wrong toward the Government which has undertaken to choose at random from among them the compulsory soldiers of a miscon ducted war—with a sense of wrong, we say, but wreak their wrath, cowardly and meanly, on de fenceless, inoffensive negroes; blindly on property owners whose buildings chanced to be hired by Go vernment officials; senselessly on the policemen, whose discipline and power day by day insure them, that security and order which guards their labor and lives. . We have one word to say to those who resist and those who countenance resistance to the draft, and we appeal, as having a right to appeal, in that what injustice has been done you, we have never failed to resist and protest against, when, protests were pro ' scribed and resistance was a crime. Stop where you 'are. Let this lawlessness cease. Mobs must stop or be put down. No Government can tolerate them* None should tolerate them. Anarchy is no refuge from injustice or wrong. A Speculation. From an article of the Richmond "Enquirer we ex tract enough to show its temper: Suppose, what is not improbable, that the armies of the Federal Union should all be vanquished this year; that the whole scheme of invasion and subjugation should break down; and that we should be enabled to dictate terms of peace in Washington—what then! / We may well begin • toi reflect upon this contingency,/seeing that our enemies , themselves are speculating upon the same. “If General Lee is able,” says the New York Tribune , “to conquer the North—Be it so! n The New York Times also, anothergreatorgan of the Abolition enemy, urging immediate levy of a large army by draft, adds suggestively: “If the country will not submit to this, it will prove, beyond all question, that it is sick of fight ing, and is for peace on any terms; and whenever this is proven,’the Administration will be bound to let it have its way, and wallow in the mire.” Next, the New York Herald, speaking of the next election for Governor_of Ohio, says: - “We hazarded another prediction, and that was that Mr. Yallandigham would not only obtain the nomination. but that he would be elected. Events will prove whether or not we are right in this antici pation. If Mr; Yallandigham should be elected, he will undoubtedly cross the frontier into Ohio, and then, we ask, what power will venture to take thence the choice of the people 1” This amounts-to much the same thing as the hints of the other two newspapers ; it means utter failure and 'defeat of the waT policy, and immediate peace— which peace must be upon our terms; because the victorious party never Bubmits to the terms of a conquered enemy, but imposes its own ; in short, it means, in other words, what the Times expresses by “wallowing in the mire.” Again, the Tribune of a subsequent date, says : We trust this invasion is meant to be determined and decisive, and that it will not be spoiled by a pre mature recoil. If the'rebels are, indeed, our masters, let them proveit, and let us own it. If they are not, let us .make them acknowledge ihe corn. We hope this demonstration, together with that of General Grant on Vicksburg, may be so managed as practi cally to end the war. If we can now take Vicksburg and Port Hudson on the one hand, and use up Lee’s army on the other, the Confederacy will be pretty nearly played out. I£ on the other hand, the rebels beat Grant, and water their horses in the Delaware, routing all the forces ive can bring against them, we shall be under foot , and may as well own it,”—Trf bune. “Wallowing in the mire” and "underfoot” are figurative expressions, and not to be taken quite literally; properly interpreted they simply signify that the North, as they call the United States; must abandon the pretension of dictating the conditions ofpeace.and prepare itself to accept those which may be dictated to it by the prevailing power. SutK jugation, confiscation, and liberation of negroes, must all be abandoned. The prospects of farms in the - Sunny South vanish when the conditions of peace are to be proposed by the Confederate States. Admiral Dahlgren at Port Royal. Admiral Dahlgren, on his arrival at Port Royal, and relieving Admiral Dupont, immediately ordered the monitors to prepare for active service. The work being done on them, and in contemplation, un necessary, so far as efficiency was concerned, was ordered instantly to cease, and a shout of joy and gladness went up throughout the whole squadron. These fancy improvements could be put on after the war is over. Now. the vessels were wanted- for the purpose for which they were constructed. Improve ments and modifications, could be made when the vessels were . out of commission, and when there was an abundance of men and mechanism to per form the work, and not when valuable time would he wasted “in the face of the. enemy.” Glorious decision, and honored he the man who made it! Instead of establishing himself in the chair of royalty on board the Wabash, and receiving the he** mage of the courtiers, Admiral Dahlgren raised his flag on the humble little transport Mary Dinsmore, which had been armed and equipped for the purpose, and on the 4th of July was preparing to move to .loin bis iron-clad fleet in the harbor of North Edisto. The officers and crews of the monitors, rusting for service, and disgusted and sick from delay, disap pointment, and inactivity, were in ecstasies at the prospect of having a’chance to test these glorious little vessels on the walls of Sumpter, and equally confident of success. Admiral Dahlgren had ordered all.the workmen from the monitors to proceed at once to the com pletion of the repairs on the captured iron*olad At* lanta, intending to use her also in the attack on the defences of Charleston. She was nearly completed when the Arago Bailed, and was being manned for the occasion by officers acid crews from some of the heavy wooden vessels, which of course could not take part in the fight. It is, thus evident that Ad miral Dahlgren is not so kind-hearted as to have aDy fears of “irritating the enemy,” and as we have at the head of both the navy and the army of the Department of the South two active fighting men, no doubt is felt of the Bucceßß of the movement now.in progress.. Of the fact that Port Sumpter was on the point of surrendering when the monitors were called out of action, we know that the President and Secretary of the ; Navy have moßt convincing proof. They have letters from those who saw the holes through the wallß, from those who walked through the breaches, and from those who, living in Charleston, gave the assurance that a 11 cart and horse covld be driven through them.”—Baltimore American. Mr* Seward aud the* Trade with Mata- juoros. A short time ago Earl Russell stated in the House ot Lords that representations had been made to the Federal Government of a feeling in this country ‘ that the Government intended systematically to in terfere with the legitimate trade to Matamoros 5 .-and intimation, had been given* that, this country, while, submitting to the. severest interpretation or the Jaw of nations, would not allow hostilities to be carried od, under pretext of that law, against a lawful .branch of her commerce. The correspon dence with. Mr. Seward has now been published. Earl Rusßell’B despatch to Lord Lyons, giving in structions to the effect above stated, is dated April 24and. Mr. Seward having been made acquainted . with the contents, he replies, on May 12. He says that (( suddenly and quickly as palaces, cities, states, or empires rise in the tales of the 1 Arabian Nights,* under the waying of a wand, or. the utterance of .a the, trade with Matamoros rose from a petty' barter to a commerce that, engaged the mercantile, activity of Liverpool and London. It was really a. : contraband trade, andthe Peterhoff was among the. first caught, > Since then, interested persons, most of them his. own countrymen; had exerted themselves to produce the impression in r Englsnd that the United StatcjA Government'intended the systematic: interruption of .a lawful branch of commerce. . . He’ denies this emphatically, and states that Federal criiisershave ’ no other instructions than those with which ohr .Government hayej heen made* acquainted. He pointß out that no complaint has yet been made to him of the decisions of the Anierican prize, courts. 1 In. conclusion, Mr. Seward says: “ Happily, the operations of the army and" the navy on the Missis sippi seem riqw to be lively to break up the inland way over which the unlawful trade in question 1 was intended to be carried, end to remove the remunera tive temptations to a continuance of that injurious r and forbidden commerce. Renewed instructions have been givep. tp the commanderaof the blocka* diqg fleet to practise caution, and conform atrictly to the w prineiplea of m aritime in conducting ’searches and' seizures.
