LEE S ESCAPE INTO VIRGINIA HIS WHOLE FORCE CROSS IN - COMPARATIVE SAFETY. ROW Ol'lt. ARMY IVAS DECEIVED. THE CAMPAIGN OVER, DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE ARMY. PLAN OP TIIE FRUSTRATED BATTLE. [Special Correspondence of The Preifi .1 Boonsboro, Md., July 12,1863. . All ib yet quiet along our front. A visit to the two wings of the army showed that some great event was soon expected, and anticipation was evi dent in the preparations making upon all sides. Batteries aie in position, and the corps are assigned to those locations moat effective in the forthcoming fight. At the headquarters of General Meade quiet reigns supreme. Situated upon an elevation of country, in the midst of a thick wood, on the road which leads directly to the front, the position com mands an excellent view of the surrounding valleys and hills, is far off from the bustle of moving sol diers, and free from every noise and disturbance that might shake the weakest nerve. Gen. Meade reposes in his tent, his face bearing the evidence of the responsibility which rests upon him, and his frame apparently worn out by long watching and toil.- In the next tent to his,is the telegraph office —a modest and unpresuming affair—containing one chair, And a table scarcely large enough to hold the instrument that ticks so continuously, as if anxious to.call attention to itei great importance. General ■Williams, Gen. Pleasanton, and Gen. Patrick, have each their tents adjoining, and all appear bußy with maps and papers, giving orders and receiving them, and directing the all-important affairs in their re spective spheres of action/* Gen. Pleasanton seldom accompanies hio cavalry expeditions in person, and willingly submits them to the direction of Kil patrick or Buford, either of whom is competent for any task, however hazardous or tedious. General Pleasanton has already won his laurels, and though the cavalry movements recently making are of his suggestion, the glory of them descends upon the im mediate leaders, who well deserve all the praise that is bestowed. , Kilpatrick, with his division, started a way a day or two ago, with his banners flying, and music stir ring, as joyfully and hopefully as though victory had alieady been in their grasp. He has not yet re turned. . Where he went to, it is not for me to say, JNlany will naturally BUppOBO that he has crossed into Virginia, near Sbepherdstown, to annoy the enemyi should an attempt be made to"get away from the clutches of our army, or to harass them further, should they be again defeated in Maryland. No fears of Kilpatrick’s safety, though the expedition is necessarily full of risk. Vice President Hamlin was here to-day, and will visit General Meade at headquarters. Mr. Hamlin will probably remain till after the fight, Senator Wilflon vißited headquarters yesterday, and had a long consultation with General Meade. Boonsboro, which is not far distant from the head quarters of the Army of the Potomac—how far, I shall not Eay—iß filling up with visitors from the North. - The town is a stand-still relic of other'days. Some of the. inhabitants say it is progressive, and in this opinion strangers coincide, there being two kinds of progress. It contains about one thousand inhabitants; the same number, I presume, that it • has always hac],-and_ which will neither increase or decrease. There are two establishments here claiming to be hotels, which furnish, at Continental rates, sour bread and no butter, coffee without milk, aniPfruit. With black Bugar, and six feet upon bare floors for a bed, So great already has become the crowd of visitors, that those who come without blankets to resist the dampness of the earth are considered un fortunate. Three chairs upon a porch for the night it considered a luxury, and an undisturbed sleep upon sheltered boards excites envy among fellow travellers. • This morning about thirty members of the Christian Commission, from Philadelphia, reach ed-this benighted spot, and were so joyous at night fall that they were promised bunk room in the Methodist Church here, with" its* cushioned pews, that they could hardly contain themselves. Lucky individuals, may they never fare worse. I-see among the ccqwd, a member of Common Council,, and. celebrities of Philadelphia, who have come down .to see the grand finale of the rebellion, which we all hope is to occur within a few miles of this spot. Of course they express sur prise that General Meade is not pushing on with greater velocity ; and, in truth, this subject is one of anxiety and concern all around. But the battle cannot be delayed, longer. I misread the signs which are all about me, if a battle does not take place before this letter is half way to its destination. Both armies are drawn up in battle array, in breath less expectancy of a contest at any moment. * This afternoon theie was heavy artillery firing on our right, which lasted, over an hour, and was distinctly . heard at this distance. The cause was a skirmish brought on by the enemy anxious to know our strength. He has found it out, for he was too weak to resist our ibgreßs into Funksfcown and then to Hagerstown, both of which places our forces now hold. , Jthas beenraiiiing heavily and drearily all after noon, and Ihe Potomac increases, of course, in volume and importance. D. [Special DesrsUli to The Press.] Arjly of the Potomac, July lo—A. M. Last evening I telegraphed you from Boonsboro the particulars of the rebel flight before the Army of the Potpinac, the publication of which was consi dered by* the censor as premature. To-day we see our case in a clearer light, and now let the truth be told. Thiß gallant army iB in gloom, and from the humblest private.in the ranks to the major generals commanding corps there is one universal feeling of chagrih and humiliation. Never were ourprospects brighter, and certainly never waa the army so anx ious to follow up their glorious record of Gettys burg, and administer to the rebellion the blow which all thought would be the decisive one of the cam paign. There iB no denying the fact, there was scarcely a soldier who survived death or wounds af ter July 4th, but did not look with the greatest con fidence, not merely for another victory at Williams, port, but for a final termination of the war upon thattfot. The delightful fields of Maryland, bloom iSg with verdure, beauty, health, and fertility, con trasted so forcibly with the barren sands of the Virginia soil, that it was an expres sion in every mouth, “I hope we will whip the rebels :so this time, that we will never again have occasion to go into Virginia. 3l The Bacred soil had lost its aacredness and at tractiveness, and I can .convey to you no idea of the great dislike which our army entertains towards further subsistence on the Virginia soil. To have prevented Lee’s escape they would have perished, every, man of them, rather than flinch from any duty which would' have insured his defeat. The brave veterans of the Army of the Potomac have borne their tedious marches since the Gettysburg fight with a degree of patience and endurance that challenges a parallel in any army ever known. After that fearful struggle, the rebel army possessed advantages in their retreat which it waa impossible for us, in the nature of things, to overcome. We were in possession of the field, and, before proceeding, were compelled to burythedead and take care of the wounded of both armies. Lee in the meantime formed a line of retreat from Hagerstown to Wil liamsport. Could we follow him across the coun try! If the attempt was made, he would fall towards Frederick and threaten Baltimore and Washington, and carry ruin and destruction widespread. Gen Meade, with a consciousness that the defeated rebelß could not again enter Pennsylvania to the northwest of Gettysburg, where Gen. Couch threatening on the front would entrap him between two fires, re tired with his mainjarmy southward, passing through Frederick as it had passed before, when first com mitted to the care of Gen. Meade. Frederick was made'our. base of supplies, Baltimore .and Wash ing saved. Had we followed on a direct line west, the base would have been endangered, and Gettys burg shorn of its glory. General Meade, learning that the rebels had concentrated between Hagers town and Williamsport,'began to press them, and' contract his own lines; The array was marched for ward again, our right resting on Boonsboro and the left a few miles south of Williamsport. Gradually our lines contracted, and the rebels fell back. Hagerstown was occupied by our troops, and our cavalry was daily engaged in skirmishes with the advance posts of the rebels. Kilpatrick and Buford were incessantly engaged, night and day, in driving back tbe rebels, and in the daily contests the advantages were all upon our aide, many prisoners, wagons, and stores frequently being captured. The headquarters of the army re mained not more than two days at any one spot, With the advance of our line, the telegraph ad vanced also, and General Meade followed up with tenacity. The reinforcements were slow to arrive. General Nnglee’s men, from .North Carolina, were among the tirat to arrive, and they were assigned to the defence of Harper’s Ferry and Maryland Heights. The bridge which had been shortly before destroy ed at the abutments, by order of General French, was repaired, and that stronghold wab in full and useful* possession. The division of General Keyes, from the Peninsula, was fast approaching the front, and were jsent to the right to occupy Ha gerstown. .General Couch, with hia Pennsylvania; militia, had formed a junction with the Army of the Potomac, and there was gladness in the whole army that the great battle was soon to be fought. They were doomed to disappointment. It was not, I suspect, known at headquarters that General Ewell’s corps crossed the Potomac an Monday night, on a pontoon bridge, at Falling Waters. It was not known that the rest of the rebel army croesed in two places, near Williamsport, on the same night. Longstreet’s division, that had been lying at Downaville, moved forward and crossed in the afternoon. Up to Saturday, it was known positively that there were no possible means by which the rebel army could effect its escape. A refugee, who came into our lines on Sunday, stated this as the evidence of his senses. Two scows or flatboats had been constantly plying across the river opposite Williamsport, and by these, at the slow rate of about six loads an hour all the rebel wagon trains and cattle were safely crossed. On Monday morning a pontoon was laid from the opposite side, having been brought up from Winchester, at which place it was probably built. On Tuesday morning Gen. Meade had completed all his arrangements for a grand attack along the whole line. The Ist, 6th, and nth Corps advanced on Sunday, taking a strong position on this side of Funliatowh, extending southwards thence to Antie* tam creek. The 11th Corps, Gen. Howard com manding, occupied the extreme right across the Hagerstown turnpike. The Ist Corps lay next to it, and the 6th dorps still further to the left. The Ist Corpß waß in command of Gen. Wadsworth, and the 6th in command of Gen. Sedgwick. Tuesday morn iDg they all took up the line of march on the Wil liamsport road. The 12th, 2d, and 6th Corps were ported on the left, and occupied the advance on Wil liamsport. The rebels were strongly entrenched be hind the range of hills stretching from Hagerstown to Williamsport. They had undoubtedly the advan tage of position, having a strong natural defence. The army felt that the coming battle was to be one of the severest it had yet experienced, but was con fident of its ability to fight the rebels even at a dis advantage, to Btorin *the heights along the entire front, and be the victors that they were at Gettys burg, On Monday night the rebel ca'mp-firea burned brightly, and there was no reason to suspect that the rebel army was not still in its encampment, Next day at io o’clock the attack was to be made, and the battle of the war was to be fought. A divi sion from each corps of the army was sent forward to feel the enemy and ascertain his strength and po sition. As they advanced they threw shells before them, but only faint replies were given. They proceeded further and yet further, but no enemy ',w.es found. The bird had flown, aud the cage *wfls useless. You can imagine, probably better than it is in my power to describe, the awful disappointment that ran along those veteran ranks when they were informed that they had no enemy to fight. It overcame every other feeling, and drowned all other emotions. Realizing their position, they resolved to make the most of it, and again the faces of these brave fellows beamed with joy, when they were ordered to march to Williamsport. They were determined to bear as well as they could the Bad misfortune, for they ar e soldiers, and as soldiers, know only their duty to tlieir country. It is idle to speculate further on this subject, and it is not for us to be fault-finding. We are satisfied that the army has been anxious to meet the expectations of the country, which it will yet fulfil in its own good time. The army is now in motion, and is yet as full of spirit as when it whipped the rebels at Gettysburg. Though the Pennsylvania campaign, is over, another, and pro bably a more brilliant one, is commencing. D. Frederick, Md. (Special Despatch to The Press. 1 Frederick, Md„ July 15.— The New York 7th Regiment left here to-day homeward bound.

Fortress Monroe, July 14.—0 n Saturday even ing last, our James river fleet, consisting of gun boats Commodore Barny, Commodore Jones, Com modore. Morse, Commodore Shockoken, Mahaska, Lilac, and Young America, with the despatch boat Mount Washington, accompanied by the two moni tors Lshigh and Sangamon, left Newport News, aid proceeded up.the James river.

One of the gunß of the Lehigh waß burst by the premature explosion of a Bhell, The gunboat Union, Captain Conroy, has just ar rived from Charleston, bound to. New York. They report all. of Morris Island; captured Wagner. The attack commenced last Friday morn ing, and the principal batterieß were captured in three hours. The Union left Charleston Sunday afternoon, at which time the siege on Fort Wagner was progress ing favorably, with every prospect of a speedy cap ture. We had'live Monitors engaged. No disasters re ported. • ■ , ! VICKSBURG AFTER THE SIEGE. The Armies Fraternizing. It: is very evident that the besiegers and the be sieged have learned a lesson of mutual respect in the course of the piotracted struggle ripw over so hap pily. On former occasions a disposition toward friendliness haß been exhibited by men who, a few minutes earlier or later, were seeking one another’s lives. To-day both armies 'seem to have every feeling of personal bitterness, and'to have ire-" cognized the quarrel-inwhieh they have been fight ing as a purely public one, that ought not to inter fere with friendly personal relations. Wherever you turn in the streets of Vicksburg, and on whatever transport you go,, you will find Union officers and soldiers treating rebel officers and soldiers to the best eatables and drinks our army can afford, as if they, were old friends just met after a long separa tion. Cordiality: and good feeling prevail through out the city. On every hand you hear expressions of pleased surprise from the rebels At what they term the gen tlemanly character of their captors, and they seek opportunities to reciprocate the courtesies extended to them with- an avidity showing that they do not desire'to be outdone in politeness. There is no jeer ing or tormenting from our men. I am. confident that there haß not been to-day a single instance where any officer or soldier of our army has in dulged in any unseemly exultation over the fallen foemen. We have”even refrained from, cheering, and nothing—absolutely nothing—has been done to add humiliation to the cup of sorrows which the re bels have been compelled to drink. Of course, this universal prevalence of. good feeling has tempted the men of both armies to resort to moral suasion and argument for vindication of their respective po sitions as belligerents. I have listened attentively to many discussions of the cause of the war, had on the street corners and everywhere,'expecting them to result in high words of defiance and recrimination. But, to my surprise, I have never elsewhere heard these conversational controversies about the war and its causes and ends so calmly and mildly conducted since the commence ment of our national troubles. No one who. has witnessed this extraordinary meeting of the two armies can fail to have seen this friendly spirit man ifested. It is a subject of remark throughout our army. My belief in the irreconcilable character of the feud between the North and the South has been gieatly undermined thereby. - TBE CONDITION OF THE TOWN. But few buildings in Vicksburg are totally,de molished. None have been completely ruined by the bombardment. On one of the principal streets near the river, and running parallel with it, there are remains of a block of buildings which were burned . about the time of the fight at Champion Hills.- In the block was a mill and a storehouse, in which were stored a considerable quantity of flour — 200 barrels and upward—which was burned-at the same time. The buildings were fired by a crowd of incensed rebel soldiers and citizens, as a punishment due to some heartless and extortionate speculators who had bought up tbe flour to be enabled to get siege prices for it. There are a few other houses scattered about that are now but heaps of rubbish. The great majority of the buildings, both public and private, can be by repairs made “ as good as new. 5 ’ The streets are barricaded to a limited extent, and have been ploughed up by shells. In walking along the pavements one mustbe careful not to tumble into a pit dug for him by a projectile from a 13-inch mortar or from a Parrot gun. .The yards, gardens, and open lots, are also cut up with shell holes. A profusion of beautiful shrubbery has heretofore ren dered Vicksburg a very handsome town, but the broken and torn fences, and the havoc incident to the presence of an army anywhere, have greatlv di minished the beauties of the place. Nearly every gate in the city is adorned with. unexploded 13-inch shells placed atop of each post." The porches and piazzas (nearly every house has one) are also adorned with curious collections of-shot and shell that have fallen in the yards. It is said that there are tome houses in the city that have escaped unscathed,but in my rambles through the streets I could not find them. ' I entered perhaps twenty buildings in all, and fouD d frightful-looking holes in the walls and floorß of every one. The house occupied by General Pem ■berton, ab his headquarters, has a hole in the first room you enter on the left side of the hall which a nude could crawl through without difficulty. The Sublisher of the Vicksburg Ciftcen invited me into is lesidence, and interspersed his remarks, while showing me around, with frequent cautions not to tread here and there, for fear a shattered piece of fiooi ing would let me through into the cellar. And eo it is all over the place. The northern portion of the city suffered moat, and I cannot convey any idea of the daniAge sustained better than by saying it has been smashed.— Cor. Tribune. CAUSES OF THE SURRENDER. The causes which have led to this stupendous re sult may be briefly summed .up as follows: The Vicksburg garrison was in round numbers thirty thousand at the commencement of the siege. It was driven within the walls of the city after a hopeless attempt to protect their line of railroad tion with Jackson. Defeated, dispirited, and worn, they retired within their line of entrenchments, and at once set to work to repair their shattered organi zation and perfect their defences. In the two or three days which elapeed. before our arrival they rallied. They had there provisions -for. thirty days left. Unless they could drive off the besiegers with in that time they were inevitably doomed. Johnston, who had r arrived in Central Mississippi in season to find the fragments of a demoralized* army, found a herculean task in restoring it to shape and spirit. He was short of artillery, transporta tion, and cavalry, and his supplies he had to draw from great distances. The insuperable difficulty was the strength of our army, and the great advantage of our position. Once on the top of Chickasaw ndge. and we were almost impregnable, with our flanks defended * by gunboats. The prime cause of the rebel defeat lies with the War Department atßiclimond, in drainingthe South to sustain the Virginia army. The second cause was a mistake in venturing beyond the Big Black river to give battle. This was Pemberton’s blunder. The BexVfftUlt i& chargeable to Johnston. As a mi litary man he should have known the utmost limit of resistance which the garrison could reach, and should have relieved it without fail. Had he at tempted it,.he would certainly have failed, and thus it proves thAt. what General Grant remarked after thebattle of Champion Hills was true. Vicksburg was viitually won then, and the great battle decisive of the fate of the Mississippi valley was then deli vered and won by our Western troops.— Correspond* ence of ihe T Votld. A PRIVATE’S DEATH.—A private of the Bth 111 mots was shot through the lungs, and brought to the hospital for surgical treatment. His wound was a fatal one, and he suffered intensely. I asked him for his name, and it was Dussold ; and inquiring rb to the nature of his wound, he replied that it was mortal, and he did not expect to recover, but thAt he cared not if we could only prevent the escape of Dee across the Potomac. I gazed upon the hero with veneration, and as I gazed his lips grew color less, and the death dew hung in trembling drops upon his brow. I asked the surgeon if he could save him, but he replied that he must die. It will be a source of gratification and pride to hia friends to know that he died sublimely, and with his old love for the Union undimmed by long and arduous ser vice in his country’s cause.— Cor k Tribune* PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1863. TUB RIOT IN NEW YORK. Incidents of the Second Day of Mob llule. From the extended accounts published in the lfew York papers we compile a record of the most im portant incidents and movements of the second day of mob terrorism and brutality. The authorities, through the resolute action of the military, and,the fearless conduct of the police, have recovered from the temporary shock and prostration caused by the outbreak. The riot, carried on in cowardice and crime, against the lives and property of defenceless citizens, has sustained.a serious check, although its proportions are still formidable. ;< • GOVERNOR SEYMOUR. MAKES A FLYING TOUR Off THE CITY. Shortly after Governor Seymour had addressed the people in front of the City, Hall, he proceeded to make a flying tour of the city, acopmpanied by the following gentlemen: Sheriff Eyhcb, Judge Con nolly, Supervisor Tweed, and Charles G. Cornell. The party took carriages to Thirty»fifth street, *and, having visited General Sandford at the arsenal. 1 and found all matters right at that time, they proceeded on foot through Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets to Tenth avenue, and all over the grounds of the operations of Monday. Wherever the Governor appeared the people, showed him the greatest re spect. Cheer upon cheer rent the air. and the car riage in'which Mr. Seymour was seated was. actu ally lifted from the ground and carried several yards by a body oi stalwart fellows. Sometimeflthe crowd cried out, " Governor will you stop the draft?” " You are the man fo us,” etc., etc.; and so the objeot of interest paßsed.q .istly along with his hands behind his back, the cyn jsure for all eyes, and the acute observer of the pi ssing events of the day. ~ r At the time the Governor made his tour,how ever,'there was quite a lull in the popular eicite ment, and this fact altered his preconceived icfea of speaking at the various places he vißited/ Fading everything comparatively quiet, he returned tj the St. Nicholas about seven o’clock, and there found a despatch awaiting him from Adjutant General Sprague, to the effect that the Governmeatat Wash ington were makingevery provision to allay th dis turbance, and that five regiments were.on their WAy to New York. THE STREET. SCENES. Xjate in the afternoon the rioters commentpi to barricade First avenue, near Eleventh atree\and First avenue, near Fourteenth street. The telegriph poles, which they had torn down, were usedjfor these bamoades, together with numerous cirts, which had been picked up in the adjacent streets. At Thirteenth street two street.sweeping machnea, which h'a<l-been captured the previous evering, were burned amid the Bhoute of the men, worsen, and boys who thronged the avenue./ The/especial spite the rioters had against these/machines was that they were labor-Baying, and to their ignojant minds they appeared their prime enemies. ! The moving ?.pirit in this riotous' conduct was a pan who announced himself a returned soldier, but who declared that his sympathy had been aroused foj the South by the emancipation of the “niggersW .He, made excited speeches to crowds of peopl/, and seemed particularly .desirous of stirring up v fight’ with aDy one who should have the hardihood to combat his sentiments. He and others inveighed bitterly against grain-elevators as labor-Bavinjma chineE—as inimical to the poor man, and infciuated a purpose to destroy them as they had destoyed the street-sweepers. Upon the adjacent; tern ment houses were .numbers of men, some of them irmed with guns in anticipation of an attack by th sol diers.' A gun store in Fifth street; ne&r avetie A, had been broken Open in the morning, and core >lete ]y gutted of its contents. The mob were in a ;reat state of fear, lest the militia should make tki ir ap pearance, the false alarms of mischievous boys causing a general scampering. ' ' TWENTIETH WARD. ■ At about 5 o’clock P. IVI. the mob had congregated in Twenty* ninth Btreet, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, and attacked a building about mid ray. of the block, because, as was alleged, “Horace Gree ley boarded there.” They broke in the windows and doors/and completely gutted the house, taro w inc: into the street books and furniture, whicljwere immediately Beized upon.by the crowd withous, and borne away piecemeal. Soon after/these actf had been consummated, a detail of about-fifty eddiers and thirty policemen appeared on the grouiA and marched through the street, clearing it of all ob structions. 1 The military marched back and forth the length of the block, and were about to leave the quarter/when a rumor spread that the rioters had retumedjto tlie building and were intending to fire It. Theylmme* diately turned and marched at double-quiokjto the place,-and finding some of the rioters in the bulding, wheeled suddenly and fired upon them. .Itjßeems that just before firing, some policemen'had iushed into the house to secure the rioters, and whin the military fired two policemen were Bhot, oneln the arm and the other in the abdomen; the woundof the latter will probably prove fatal. \ v ./ . I Immediately after the rioters had consummated their work upon the supposed bbarding-hoiße of Horace Greeley, a cry was raised against a respect able* appearing young man that he was a “ Tribune reporter;” and instantly he-was set Upon by the infuriated devils, who pursued, knocked him 'pbwa, and beat and kicked him. about the body, face, and /head in such a way as to leave him nearly tead. A •.gentleman present interfered and succeeded ii saving the young man’s life. He was taken to his residence near, and it was found on examination that he had received no mortal wound ‘ ' " ; This same mob, while in the vicinity, Bet upon a man against whom they had conceived somefancied antipathy, and literally pounded him to deati, We were unable to obtain his name. . t _ THE MOB IN'. COURTLATvTIT STREETJ The following we take from the Tribune: J To show how the hangers-on of the mob hare tran scended the ideas of their instigators'and eaders, and to give an idea of the' immediate state ofaffairs, ■we will state what happened at 11 o’clock inpoutt landt street last evening. % vs - A detachment of the mob, consisting of aMit 100 or 125, at the aforementioned hour, came piling through the streets from both Brogjlway and Green* wich street; they concentrated in front of_the Western a.ptel, v attAck'bH*the windows andjiktfs of/ the two hotels. ’ ~ f All attempts to close the blinds and shutter/ were immediately overcome, and the mob srhashfd.the glazing srid.the sashes, and were congratuating themselves that they had got the thing in the* own power, asd'they were already preparing^'? 4 sail in” and help themselves to whatever, thy could find, either in the rooms of the proprieprs and boarders, # or on the persons of all who chanbd to be ‘ in the house. ]; But at this moment the police made anotfer of the magnificent charges, which have won for iem, du ring this fight with rowdyism and rascalitythe gra titude of every true and honest citizen.

The following passages in relation to the b< and hanging of Col. O’Brien are from the Hera The action of Col.

How .true this is cannot be aocur&ly determined with any degree of actual certatyj but the fate which he met with, as will shtly appear, : is probably one of the moßt horrible .at either history tells of or the present generationrer witnessed.

It was .-by hiß orders that they i;tl,' and also by bis instrumentality, whether libe right or wrong : in the matter, that the:hefc’s blood of many an able youth was stopped.i ts flowings. ♦ A HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE —A WOMAN AND Cl D KILLED. •-Probably the most heartrending occurrence wm one could imagine took place during this fit. Colonel O’Brien held a revolver in lus handed was riding up and down between either line ofiie crowd. He, as it is stated, fired his revolver ;o their midßt, the ball killing a woman and cl, which she held in her arms. After several roils had been fired the people began t© disperse, andle police proceeded to another part of the city. C))- nel O’Brien and his command, however, retnaifl. The Colonel dismounted from his horse and wald into a drug store. \ THE CROWD ATTACK COL. O’BRIEN. \ Had the commander of this military force taa his departure at this time there is little doubt th his life would have been saved. But fatality hi destined him’ for its victim, and he waß a doom] man. Colonel O’Brien Btayed in . the drug sto for Borne few minutesj it is thought that he went: to get some refreshments. The crowd were arout the door at this time. There was scarcely a wo: spoken, but the dowering glances of one thousand men looked down in their vengeful spirit upon hiit as he stood in the door.: He then drew liis sworq and with a revolver in the other hand walked out on the sidewalk in the very centre of the crowd. - He was immediately surrounded, and one of the merf came behind and striking him a heavy blow on th back of the head, Btaggered him. The crowd the immediately surrounded and beat him in a moi shocking manner. HB IS HUNG UP TO A LAMP-POST. After having been terribly beaten his almost in an mate body was taken up in the strong arms of th crowd -and hurried. to the iirat lamp-post, where was stiung iip by a rope. After a few minutes tli body -was; taken down, he being still alive, an' thrown like so much rubbish in the street, THE BODY IN THB BTEKET—APPALLING? SCBNES. The body lay in the middle of the street, within few yards of the corner of Thirty-fourth street. N ture shudders at the appalling scenes which he took place. The body waß mutilated in such ama I nerthatit was utterly impossible to recognize i, The head was nearly one mass of gore, while tL clothes were also saturated with the crimson flail of life. A crowd of some thiee hundred person} wounded the prostrate figure. These men looke< upon the terrible sight with the greatest coolness! and some even smiled at the ghastly object. Our re!! walked leisurely among the: crowd’which surrounded the body, and, in company with thereat, 1 gazed up'on the extended mass of flesh which was once the corpulent form of Colonel H. O’Brien, Notwithstanding the fearful, process which soldier had gone through, he was yet breathing with evident strength. The eyes were closed, but] there was a very apparent twitching of the eyelids, \ while the lips were now and again convulsed, as if in the most intense agony.' .. i the body dragged around the street, After lying for somewhat of. an hour in.this posi-j fion, several of the crowd took hold of the body by; the legs, and dragged it from side to aide of the! street. This operation was gone through with ral times, when the crowd again left the body lying in its original position. ; LIFE STILL EXISTINO, Had Colonel O’Brien been a man of weak consti* tion, he would certainly have cessed to exist long i before this time. He was, however, through life, %< man of great natural strength, and this fact proba bly kept him breathing longer than would any othjr common perron. The crowd remarked this, anj watched his.every slightest movement with the molt intense anxiety. Now and then the head would be raised from the ground, while an application of £ foot from one of the crowd would dash the already mangled mass again to the earth. This conduct was carried on for some time, and when,our reporter left the Jody was still laying in the street, the last apaik of existence evidently having taken flight. ; ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NEGROES KILLED AND "WOUNDED. An old negro woman, nearly seventy years of age, was attacked in the Sixth waTd and badly beaten. She was taken to the City Hospital, and will proba bly survive.' Here it is proper to add that this ia_the only case of real violence reported in the ‘‘bloody Sixth.” Negroes have been chased and stoned, but have managed to escape without injury. No build ings have been destroyed, but the blackß are now all gone, and there is no cause for disturbance left. Capt, Jourdan is entitled to credit for the successful maimer in which he has maintained the peace in his precinct. In the Seventh ward there have been some popu lar demonstrations against the negroes. Yesterday two or three frame buildings, inhabited by colored people, in Monroe street, near Market, were torn down. . . , r Allthe men at work in foundries, shopß, and on the streets, stopped work, and joined in with the crowd, forming a dense masß, apparently all united by a thoroughly sympathetic feeling. At a late hour there had been no other demonstrations. There were signs of a disturbance, however, in the neigh borhood of Jackson street. In the Fifth precinct, where alarge, number of negroes live, many of Jhem have been severely beaten. One of them, a very siok man, was brought to the station house l»Bt night, the crowd having turned him out of bed and severely maltreated him. A few days since, there were Several hundred ne groes in this precinct, but the streets, at least, now show no evidence of-their existence. In the Eleventh and Thirteenth wards,' where many negroes live, there were several scenes of vio lence. Every black was beaten, and it is reported that two.were killed. The police have no chance now to take care of either dead or wounded, and so no returns ’have /been received. Several buiidingß were gutted, and the negroes driven out of the wards. i * ..... On the Battery a crowd severely beat aomecolored people who were waiting transportation, but a num ber of citizens, aided by the police, succeeded inpre venting any loss of life. Taken altogether, the day has been a severe one for the blacks. It. ends, for sonis time-at least, their .Residence in this city. (They must- seek peace 'elsewhere ‘ for in the present excited state of publio feeling there is no ease for them in New York. It -is estimated: that upwards of one hundred and fifty negroes have been killed orbadly injured, RIOT AWONCr THI2 GERMANS. ,"Within the boundaries of Fourteeneh street to Division street, east of Bowery, in “Klein-Deutech land,” the whole population was out doors,'witness ing; the proceedings of in whose, acts they took no part; except a few abused and misled Cop perheads. Barricades of. the poorest kind were erected on the corners of, Fourteenth, Twelfth, and .Tenth streets, near Tompkins Square. - The connecting link between the rioters and the Teutons, of this distriot, was visible by men. on horseback, who appeared from time to time, giving Old ere to their co-traitors, by whispering into the ears of ones' what next to do. About Jour o’clock, the rioters burned, oh the corner of Fifteenth street and. First avenue/some patent street-cleaning carts, which undoubtedly were re garded as depriving rioting people of their rightful occupation. - \ One of the most-peculiar incidents happened in Eivington street, and excited the passions of the Germans in this vicinity, It appears that the Ger man papers, some weeks ago, offered a premium for the recovery, of a young girl who had disappeared from the :bouse of her parents. All traces of her were lost, until she was discovered as being the in mate of a house of ill fame (kept by a Mrs. Miller), No. 107 Bivington street. . The parents were duly notified, and at the head of some fifty young Teutons they ferociously attacked the house,. Mrs. Miller fled, the young girl (ll years of age) was triumphantly released; then the house was plundered of all its valuables. Silrer spoons, clocks, furniture of all kinds, were carried away, and finally the crowd commenced to break: down the shanty of the runaway woman (Mrs. Miller) literally burning the whole building m the middle of the street.' A bird’s-eye view. The city, seen from, a lofty central situation, pre sented, as usual at night, a grand and splendid aspect, to which the unusual sights and soundß gave a mysterious and solemn interest. Monday night the whole city was illuminated by the tierce glare of a thousand flames, but last night, for the half hour preceding 9 o’clock, there was but little light left except from the cars and the street lamps, which indeed from a point of view seem con stellations in a firmament beneath, lined with a most uncelestial brilliancy. At Second Avenue, near Nineteenth street, the east side of the street was still aglow with the re flection from the smouldering fire on the west side. At such a height the sound of a mob could be dis tinctly heard tor more, than a mile, and the the newsboys’far down in the street around, seemed as plain aa it ordinarily does across the street. REBEL ROCKET SIGNALS. ©n the Third avenue, from Fortieth street for a mile upward, there was a hiatus in the line of lights. Here was where the mob commenced its work, and thiß waa a continuation of it. .In the Revolution, as said Little Garouche, in Les Miserables, street lamps are not in order. Hiatus was ominous. Suddenly out of *this mystery of violence a rocket shot up iritO;the Bky, in three minutes another, and in three minutes more yet another. Four minutes passed and from the neighborhood ot "Union Square rosea large fire-balloon, a grand globe of fire, which could be Been by the Confederate bands from Norfolk to Jamaica. 7 The telescope was turned to a prominent star in. the southern horizon ; it was the City Hall clock, and it wanted ten minutes to nine. Several minutes passed without any further sign. _ At length the gun . was .fired and . the bells struck for nine. In a few - seeohtfs-ian answering rocket sprang from the direc tion of . horthern 'WilUamsburg, far up into the sky. THE : ATTACK ON BROOKS’ CLOTHING STORE., The police of, the Third precinct, under the charge of Sergeants Finney, Roundß, Brown,land Farrell, were sent to drive the rioters from Brooks’ clothing store, on the corner of Cherry and Catharine streets. [Sergeant Finney was shot in the face and sent to The officers surrounded the store, which was filled with men, women, and children, stealing goods and Bending them in bundles to their homes. The force went in and clubbed down the thieves, sparing the women and children. The men fell right and left, and the force succeeded in driving the villains from the store; and when they left the store, the ruffians; fired about twenty shots at, them; but they were poor marksmen, and didjlittlehr no injury. Great quantities of the goods had-been stoleb; and the store was gutted by the mob of plunderers. One thief, in his Haste to make goed bis escape, jumped through the window, bear ing the Bash upon his shoulders. Many of these plunderers ar.e_welLknoivißto..tk»-p©iioe r authorities; ' TAKING CARE OP CASH.* Perhaps it may be as well to tell these thieving rascals, who make at these various mobs, that they have delayed their proceedings a day or two to their disadvantage. Had they attacked, as they proposed, the jewelry Btores, the banks, and private houses which are covered with, and owning more silver and gold plate than they, can easily take care of yesterday, they might have secured some plunder. To-day, we are happy to inform their thieving lordships, the gold from'jthe banks, the.valuable proper!}' from the leading jewelry establishments, and the. plate from many private houses, have been removed from the city.-Don’t they wißh they may get it? DEFENCE OF THE PARK AND PRINTING-HOUSE SQUARE. . The preparations for the defence of the City Hall and the buildings around Printing-House Square, last evening, were such as almost to cause a regret in the breasts of law-abiding people that the mob did not make its appearance in that quarter. The Times office was brilliantly illuminated, bo as to afford them a good chance to see and be seen. Inasmuch as they did not see fit to honor the neighborhood of the Park with a visit, it is hardly worth while to tell them what pains had been taken to receive them, further than to say. that we overheard an old army officer say that he had got batteries so placed at various points around the Park that he could sweep off bodies of evil-disposed men, who should attempt to intrench upon his premises, at the rate of 75,000 every ten minutes. What a pity the “left wing of Lee’s army ” (so a loyal-league man calls this mob) did not give him a chance. THE TIMES ILLUMINATION, The New York Times office was illuminated last evening, partly in honor of our victorious armies in the Weat, and partly for the purpose of throwing light upon our neighbor of the Tribune, whosn esta blishment is reported to be threatened by mid night prowlers. The brilliant jets of flame which blazoned forth the title of this journal, gave rise to much ad miration, and expressions of opinion from the large throng of respectable citizens who congregated in the j-quaie. Some were so ignorant as to construe it into a challenge "to the rioters, but Jby far the greater number comprehended that it was an open and manly way of showing the public that the busi ness cone here was legitimate and above-board, and they thanked fortune that there was one journal which could express the true sentiments of thepub lic without feaT or favor. • A. TRAITOR. When Major . Fearing’a command was facing the people a man named Joseph Rutgers, a private, be longing to the 17th New York Volunteers, broke from the ranks and fan to join the people. He called on his comrades to join him in skedaddling, when one of the subordinate officers headed him off, and, drawing his revolver, shot Rutgers through the right cheek and throat, inflicting a. mortal wound. This act of the officer was imperatively necessary to check any inßubordinationin the men. CHEERING THE POLICE. The people all over the city have been apprecia tive of the truly invaluable services of the police force, . After their achievements in Courtlandt street, and other places where they had fought, and fought .well, cheered them heartily as they passed along-the streets. All right! 'Honor to whom honor is due.-" AN INCIDENT OP MONDAY. Alderman McCool, in the afternoon, returned to the city from a drive in the suburbs, and was stop ped up town by a crowd of men and boys, who seized !the reins of his horse, and demanded to know who ,he was. He.replied, “My name is John JMcOool.” McCool,” echoed some of the crowd, followed by speculative remarks of “ Who the devil is Mc pkool!” “ What arfe you?” “What do you do?” Alderman answered that he was the alder snMm of the Fifth alderm&nic district. “Alderman r be ——the crowd responded j something • tgLdrjnk.” The Alderman smiled 1 pleasantly, and, : thinking discretion to be the better part ofc valor in ms situation, searched his pockets for some money.

LETTER FROM ARCHBISHOP HUGHES. Archbishop of New York has published a let which a great portion is in reply to the sub wtioleof Mr. Greeley,: and the concluding ph an appeal to the Catholics of New York: irst man we ever heard advocate a general tion for the prosecution of the war for the ras Archbishop. Hughes, in his sermon di fter his last return from Europe last year, uemned the reliance on volunteering as ha land as placing too large a share of the bur ie generous and public spirited, urging that, obligation to Berve rested equally on all, lityor risk should be apportioned accord- con TJn! red He zar« deni due-, the V. Atigjy, ThiAe Archbishop characterizes as the latest DQflligi nr tide againßt the undersigned with which k Honorable Horace Greeley has been in the haV favoring him for some time. He says: I dii>t condemn volunteering. I did not re commel cocrcive conßcripwn, but. that the peo ple of Worth, who stand bjnjhe Federal Govern ment,, slid demand conscription by their own vo luntary bice and act. This would be their own system Q>iunteeriDg. The main object of my re . marks, occasion referred to by Mr. Greeley, was to tjg the war to a speedy conclusion. The /last and isive battle in every war is necessarily ' the mostjrciful in its results, Bince it puts an erifl I to the fuij* shedding of human blood. / Jhaveb attacked by three Catholic laymen, / editors ofe Baltimore Mirror t and by a priest; of Bedford, fcsylvania, as if, I were a man of war, /and:aß; if \ idea of bringing the war to a Bpeedy termiriatk 7afi a cruelty, instead of allowing it to ; fertilize tlwda of Tennessee, of Virginia, Mary land, and a Pennsylvania, with periodical sup plies ofhub gore. This is tjae a of mercy and humanity enter 1, twined by %> ro prietors of the Baltimore Mirror and the gentle shepherd of Bedford as to what con stitutes humanity and,mercy. No language of mine could ever be interpreted aB recommending the Government to enact a coercive conscription; but, judging by my own feelings, I supposed that the people of the North, if they had a Government such as their fathers instituted—a Government of which they would be worthy, and which would be worthy of them—they would have patriotism enough to stand up as one man and say, “This thing cannot be allowed to go on; either those who have rebelled against the Government must have their, rebellion thoroughly put down, or they must, put üb, who make no rebellion, under their triumphant dominion. But at all events this thing ought not to go on. All wars must come to an end. especially when only one side is disposed to off er peace, which the other scornfully rejects.” Here follows,an extract from the Archbishop’s sermon on his return from Europe: There are things that no man can pretend to fathom—questions that depend on so many addi tional circumstances for their solution; but there is one thing and one question that should he clear to every lt is this, that if a warof this kind should be continued for many years it is recog nized as being allowable for other nations to com bine in their strength and put an end to it. Better for the people themselves to put an end to it with aB little delay as possible. It iij not a scourge that has vißited us alone. From the beginning of the world wars have been—nation against na tion—and oftentimes the most terrible of all war, which is not a war of nation against nation, but of brother against brother. How long is this to go on? If it goes on what is to be the result of it? As affording a pretext for all the Powers of Europe to combine to put an end to it? And, although.l would not say that even then they should not be permitted to interfere—when they interfered through benevo lence, and, above all, when the Bword might be put at rest—but I do say to every man that if they do interfere, and if they interfere successfully; if the country aDd the Government are not maintained by every sacrifice that is necessary to maintain them, your United States will become a Poland then it will become divided—then strife will multi ply across every border; every State, or every sec tion, will claim to be independent, and make itself an easy prey for those who will turn and appropriate the divisions of the people of this country for their own advantage. The Archbishop continues: I may have been mis taken in my estimate of humanity, and mercy, and patriotism, as expressed in the foregoing, remarks, and it may be that my critics—Greeley, of the New York Tribune; Kelly, Hedian Sc Piot, proprietors of the Baltimore and the Rev. Mr. Heydon, of Bedford, Pennsylvania—are; correct in their views of humanity in desiring that the war should be in terminable. But not all the Tribunes, or Mirrors , or country parsons in the United States can change my convictions of humanity or patriotism, on that score. For all these gentlemen, and for their objec tions, there is a document, already in manuscript to refute them, individually and collectively. I was in New. York, when the first number of Mr. Greeley’s paper was published. Its first theory was that all international quarrels might'be settled by peaceful arbitration. .This lasted for a time. But Mr. Greeley was an advocate for revolution ia every other country; and/having passed once through Italy, he saw the country and, of’ course, more or IeBB, even the people, through the windows of tho vetterino; and when he returned he published a little book of his travelsj-the amount of which was that the Italians were unlikely, if not unfit, to enjoy liberty, unless they could look down a cannon’s throat, in which statement he imposed upon them a feat the accomplishment or imitation of which no humane man would suspect Mr. Greeley to be capa ble. . : - giThcreare many things bearing upon Mr. Greeley’s homily to me, in his paper of the 9th inst., which, 3n another way and at the proper time, shall be taken notice of. f JOHN HUGHES, Archbishop of New York. New York, July 14,1863. .POSTSCRIPT, In spite of Mr. Greeley’s assault upon the Irish, in the present disturbed condition of the city, I will appeal, not only to them, but to all persons who love God and revere the holy Catholic religion which they profess, to respect also the laws of man and the peace of society; to retire to their homes with as little delay as possible, and disconnect them selves from the seemingly-deliberate intention to disturb the peace and social rights of the citizens of New York. If they are Catholics, or of such of them as are Catholics, I ask, for God’s sake, for the sake of their holy religion, for my own sake, if they have any respect for the Episcopal authority, to dissolve their bad associations with reckless men, who have little regard either for Divine or human laws. ; t JOHN, Sec., &c. JUDGE M’CUNN DENIES THE VALIDITY OF CON- SCRIP TION. A case of resistance to enrolment came up before the city Judge McCunn, who delivered an opinion on the conscription act:. ~ Judge McCunn iB of opinion that the entire act is clearly unconstitutional, for it not only violates the rights of the people and creates a distinction among our citizens, hut it is in direct contravention of the 14th and 15th Bub-divisions of section 8 of ar ticle 1 of the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution, in Authorizing Congress “to raise • and support armies,” provides only for the standing armies of the country,'and not for the volunteer and temporary forces which any emergency may de mand, because the 14th sub-division of the Bfch sec tion of article 1 authorizes Congress “to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel inva sions.” And article 2 of the amendments pro vides : “A well-regulated militia being neces sary to, the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear bear arms shallnot be in fringed.” And for the purpose of using this militia force, the President is not only made the Command er-in-Chief of the army and-navy of the United States, but also of the militia of the several States, when called into the actual service of the United States. And, therefore, as this conscription law doeß not make the force it creates a militia force of the Stateß, nor is it part of the standing armies of the United States, it ie clearly not authorized by the Constitution. The standing army of the country could be increased by an act of Congress, and the .subdivision referred to authorizes Congress to pro vide tbeme&ns fcrrTalslng lt'*~t»Ut'Congres3,having neglected to do this, the only force the President is authorized to use, exclusive of the regular army and navy, is the militia and volunteer forces con tributed by the several States when called upon. The Judge deeply regretted that the people had not had patience and'patriotism enough, under the ope ration of the conscription law, to wait until the courts had fully determined this question. Tile Press. [From the. Times ] It is too true that there are public journals who try to dignify this mob by some respectable appela tion. The Herald characterizes it as the people, and the World s the laboring men of the city. These are libels that ought to have paralyzed the fingers that penned them. It is ineffably infamous to attri bute to the people, or to the laboring men of this metropolis, such hideous barbarism as this horde has been displaying. The people of New York, and the laboring men of New York, are not incendiaries, nor robbers, nor assassins. They do not hunt down men whose only offence is the color God gave them; they do not chase, and insult, and beat women: they do not pillage an asylum for orphan children, and burn the very roof over those orphans’ heads. They are civilized beings, valuing law, and respect ing decency; and they regard with unqualified ab horrence the doings of the tribe of savages that have sought to bear rule in their midßt. You may as well reason with'the wolves of the forest as with these men in their present mood. It is quixotic and suicidal to attempt it. The duties of the executive officers of this State and city are not to debate, or negotiate, orsappHcate, but to exe cute thetiaws. To execute means to enforce by autho• rity. This is their only official business. Let it be promptly and sternly entered upon with all the means now available, and it cannot fail of being carried through to an overwhelming triumph of public order. It may cost blood—much of it, perhaps ; but it will be a lesson to the public enemies, whom we Always have and must have in our midst, that will last for a generation. Justice and mercy, this time, unite in the same beheßt :—Give them grape, and plenty of it, [From the Tribune ] r It is absurd and futile to attribute this outburst of ruffianism to anything else than sympathy with the rebels. If, as some pretend, it results from dissatis faction with the $3OO exemption, why are negroes indiscriminately assailed and beaten almost or quite to death 1 Did they prescribe this exemption? On the contraiy, are they not almost uniformly poor men, themselves exposed to the draft, and unable to pay tl(e $300? "What single thing have thev done to expose them to this inferbal, cowardly ruffianism? What can-be alleged against them unless it bo that they are generally hostile to the slaveholders’ re bellion? And how are the drafting officers respon sible for the $3OO clause ? v Wte may just as well look the facts in the face. These riots are “a fire in the rear ” on our country’s defenders in the field. They are in purpose and es sence a diversion in iavor of Jeff Davis and Lee. Listen to the yells of the mob, and the harangues of its favorite orators, and you will find them, sur charged with “nigger,” “Abolition,” “Black Re publican,” denunciations of prominent Republicans, the Tribune, &c., &c.—all veryjwide of the draft and the exemption, [From the World.] fit might have been supposed that the lowering approach of the rude vengeance they have courted would have made these people feel at last how mad their course has been. It might have been supposed that the-editor of the trembling all day long in the : safe umbrage of-a friendly restaurant, and escaping at last under cover of the darkness to his home, might have been led by, these hours of se clusion to fling away the torch he had so. long and so thoughtlessly brandished. It might have been supposed that the editors of the Evening Post t makingtheir office a fortress, and cowering under the shelter of policemen detailed to protect their press and persons at the expense of the poor orphans of a humbler race, who were thus abandoned to the rage of a 4 furious mob, would have learned how perilous $ thing it is to persist in injustice, in calumny, and in slander. This is no time for* vailed or for uncertain speech The very' moment bids us ope our mouth. The shAnie which has fallen upon our glorious city, the peiil which-threatens our country, the dead in our streets, the terror and the passion raging in ten thousand homes,, demand explicit language and direct indictments. We charge it, therefore, plainly, upon the radical journals of fchiß city, that they, and chiefly they, have educated the people of New York to the pitch of passion :and the extremes of des perate feeling which have gleamed out so lu ridly and so terribly upon .us, in these last Bad days. We charge it upon' them.-that by their persistent and malignant assaults upon the character, the purposes, and the patriotism of all who differed from them in their views of public duty; that by their insane and infamous .imputa tions of disloyalty hurled against men whose hoaxes, whose hearts, whose hopes are bound up wholly ; and profoundly in the honor, the peace and power of the country in which they dwell, that by their incessant appeals to the lowest and most brutal pas sions as the motive power of the national life, that by their heartless insolence leveled at brave men who have served their country, they have steadily an d wickedly perverted the distinctions of party, which Bhould be intellectual and tolerant, into ani mosities of faction, which seize upon the passions and fire the popular heart to deeds of blood. INHUMANITY OF REBEL SURGEONS.— The infamy and. cowardioe of the rebel surgeons in deserting the men of their army wounded at the bat .tle of Gettysburg is without parallel in the war. In every battle in which fortune has been adverse to our arms, and our wounded have been temporarily left within the rebel lines, the brave and self-deny ing surgeonß*of the regiments have either remained with the fallen, or have immediately applied for passes within the nftbel lines, that they might be cared for. But the rebels left lying on the field many thousands of their wounded, Dr. Yellum re ports the number at ten thousand, and left with them neither surgeons, stores, nor nurses, but lite rally abandoned them to their fate. These men com plained bitterly of the cruelty of their surgeons in thus forsaking them, but bore up patiently under their sufferings for many days, until they could be attended to by some of our own surgeons, most of whom had at once to hasten forward with their own regiments to other fields. We published yesterday a thrilling letter from the battle-field, written on Thursday last, six days after the close of the contest, which stated that there were hundreds of the rebel wounded not then reached— that hundreds of them it had been found impossible even to cover; and they lay in the woods with broken limbs and torn bodies, drenched in the rain, some having been even drowned in the floods which rose around them. Of course everything possible was being done’for them, and doctors, wound-dressers and nurses were arriving. We were not prepared for, and could not have foreseen, the flight of all the rebel eurgeonß. It will long be remembered to their ; disgrace, both by the unfortunate rebels and by the whole country,— N t T, Times, THREE CENTS. The Conscription Commenced and Quietly Conducted. NAMES OF THE DRAFTED IN THE FOURTEENTH WARD. The conscription wag commenced in our city yes terday morning, at the headquarters of the provost marshal of the Fourth district, northeast corner of Broad and Spring Garden streets. The draft was made for the first sub district of the Fourth district, which comprised the Fourteenth ward, bounded by Vine, Poplar, Tenth, and Broad streets. In front of the building, on Broad street, a tempo rary stage had been erected, on which the drafting took place; the process of taking from the wheel and opening the envelopes containing the names of the drafted, being conducted in.full view of the as sembled. crowd. The drawing was conducted by Capt. G. M. Lane, provost marshal of the district, C. B. Barret, commissioner of enrolment, and J. Ralston Welles, surgeon. Mr. Michael Williams, a blind man from the asylum, drew the names from the wheel. There waß also a committee of citizens of both parties present. A large number of specta tors were upon the ground, but the moßt perfect order prevailed. Before the drawing toolcjjfrlace, Commissioner Barrett stated thatBG2 names would be drawn, which would be fifty per cent, more than needed, thuß leav ing sufficient margin for all claims for exemption thatmightbe presented. He also stated that mea sures had been taken to insure entire fairness. The requisite preliminaries having, been arranged, the drawing commenced.

F Toelin j. i Edward Smith (Jas Todd' j Casper P Wickersham ! Miller Irwin The above list includes the names of a number ol well-known citizens, some of whom occupy posi tions of importance and honor under the Govern ment. Mr. L. S. Fletcher, the president of the Board of Controllers of the public schools, Mr. Harry Pollock, employed in the Mint, and a ne phew of ex-Govemor Pollock, Mr. Vm, M. Ireland, secretary in the post office, and Mr. Alex. H. Dick son, recently a Democratic candidate for State Sena tor, are among the drafted. Among the* names of clergymen drawn, we find those of E. C. Matlack, rector of the church of the Nativity, Morris 0. Sutphin, pastor of the Spring Garden Presbyterian church, and B. H. Price, pas tor of the M. E. church. The newspaper fraternity is represented in the persons of Messrs. W. H. Fisher, of the Ledger, and W. W. Harding, of the Inquirer, Ample provision had been made, preparatory to the draft, for any emergency likely to occur, A large police force was in attendance, while an additional force of military was held in reserve to assist in. maintaining the public peace upon the first indica> tion of an outbreak or any attempt at an imitation of the lawless proceedings which have disgraced a Bister city. We are happy to state that not the slightest symptom of disaffection or violence was manifested, the crowd appearing to feel an active interest in the result of the proceedings. When, at laßt, it was announced that the final name had been drawn, a general feeling of relief exhibited itself in the countenances of those remaining whose names had not been called out. The provost marshal, in a few remarks to the crowd, alluded to the care that had been taken to conduct everything with entire fairness. His remarks were well received. The drafting for the Fifteenth ward will commence at the Bame place on to-morrow (Friday) morning. Hi order to escape the heat of the day, the drawing will commence at 6 o’clock JsL-M. ' In regard to the matter of substitutes, wehave ascertained that, after the completion of the draft, the Board of Enrolment will give notice of the time Bet apart by them for hearing propositions for sub* stitutes, and for examining persons bo offering. Drafted persons, who desire to present substitutes, will be required to give written notice to the board that on a certain day they wilbpreßent a substitute, giving his name, residence, age, and a statement as to his alienage or citizenship. The substitute may be presented at any time before the day for the meeting of the drafted men at the appointed rendez vous. Ab the substitute is-to occupy precisely the same footing aB other BOldiera, his qualifications must be the same. A question has arisen as to whether the procuring of a substitute is not of greater advantage than the payment of the three hundred dollars. The paymentofthe lattersum discharges a person from this draft, but if another draft should be made* next year, he would again be liable. But where a person supplies an accepted substitute, the Enroll ing Board gives him a certificate, setting forth that he is “not properly subject to do military duty during the time for which he waß drafted, ** that is, for three years or during the war. Those interested will doubtless settle in their own minds how much consequence is to be given to thiß consideration. The Draft* To the Editor, of The Press: Sir: I have been'surpriied that the following simple, and, I think, practical plan, has not been proposed during the excitement on the subject of the draft, for poor men to meet the demand made upon them, which it is frequently alleged discriminates between the rich and the poor, by which the rich may escape the draft, and the poor have to, submit to its burden?. The plan is this: In an establish ment employing one hundred men, more brless, let the men resolve themselyes into a society for mutual help. The average number of drafted ?men would not exceed 5 per cent., but fall far short. Five drafted men would require $1,500. This would call for $l5 each, which could be easily arranged by a little financiering, and all placed upon the same footing rich and poor alike. This would apply equally to bodies of laboring men, as all now find employment at high wages. Respectfully, P. O. 8., Cooper street, Camden, NVJ. Rejoicing at Reading* Reading, July 16.— Thirty-five guns are now being fired and all the bells in the city rung in honor of the capture of Port Hudson and the defeat of Bragg and Johnston.
