Who Are to Blame 1
It 'will be a long time before tlie fearful
doings in the city of New York are forgot
ten. We are but beginning to feel their effect.
"We shall feel it more intensely when the
jeering comments of the English press are
heard, and we see America, quoted through
out the world as the country of anarchy and
civil war. New York will long suffer from
the crimes that have stained her streets with
blood, and shown a degree of infamy that
wo cannot find in history. We regret to see
that the riot still continues, but there are
evidences that it is being suppressed. In
one or two places the rioters have driven
hack and overpowered the military, but
these were. cases in which small detach
ments were placed to guard exposed points.
General Brown is administering the mili
tary law with proper rigor, and peace will
be procured, let the cost be what it may.
His Grace the Archbishop of New York has
issued a card, requesting the rioters to as
semble at the Episcopal residence, that he
may confer with them upon their grievances
and persuade them to return to their duty
as citizens. In Troy a riot has also taken
place; and we read that'in Boston troops
have been necessary to preserve the peace.
In Brooklyn dangers of an attack are known
to exist, and we are told that in many
of the towns around New York riotous
outbreaks are only prevented by the inter
ference of the priests of the Roman Catholic
Church. The conduct of these clergymen
is deserving of credit, and we honor them
for having interposed the episcopal authority
to prevent the shedding ojf blood. At the
same time we can see in the fact that the in
fluence of the priests is necessary to preserve
the law, an indication of the men who have
taken upon themselves to commit murder
and robbery, and all manner of crimes.
The class of. men who absolutely follow the
teachings of these divines may be said to
'include the poor foreigners who come to this
country from Europe, and more particularly
from Ireland Their fate in their native
land is one of ignorance and degradation.
Compelled to labor to" support their own
lives, and the great aristocratic system that
lives upon their blood, freedom has the
effect upon them of sudden light to the blind.
They become dazzled and bewildered, and
unable to enjoy, the new blessing. So we
find them in the elective franchise follow
ing the shrewcfest and most unscrupulous
leaders, making the ballot a matter of pur
chase or prejudice, and swelling by their Vast
numbers, and the feelings of clannishness
which might.be called discipline, and which
binds them together as one man, the great
political party that is against progress and
liberty. In New York this class has "been
so much embittered and deceived —so false
ly and criminally alarmed—that we find it
with vote and voice aiding the schemes of
the traitors, and at the same time taking up
arms against the war. . . .
While we can easily see that these are
the men who have thus disgraced our coun
try and the age in which we live by their
brutality and violence, we have no words
of anger or reproach. So long as they stand
together in .masses, burning, destroying,
and murdering, they must be met by steel
and powder—they must be dispersed and
destroyed. While doing so we should re
member that they are but the instruments,
and should not be merely the victims. They
deserve our sympathy, and we should be
stow it upon them as we would upon all
who . have lived lives of so much misery,
and whose lot is now so stern and desolate.
We must look higher when we seek out
whom to blame. The desperate, wicked,
and disloyal men, who have deceived and
alarmed,these people, and taken advantage
of their,alarm to array them against the coun
try—the men who have degraded them by
Tammany,Hall and the Ward Convention;
the politicians and. the writers for a venal
press; these are the real criminals. They
gave the Mob life and power and purpose }
and having fashioned and filled it with ter
ror'.and envy,an&fthe hatred of a helpless
and inferior race, they armed it with fire
and the sword and sent it forth on its fear
ful career. Secure from the musketry and
canister that now rattle through the upper
avenues of New York, these men safely
contemplate the ruin they have caused and
-the misery they are causing. They are the
- real criminals, and we impeach them in the
name of justice and truth as conspirators
and assassins. They are here as well as in
New York, and are trying to inaugurate
the same terrible scenes in our midst. Led
US be vigilant and true, and drag from the
high places the men who have caused so
much woe and crime.
Treason in Philadelphia.
On Saturday last charges of conspiracy
against the United States, correspondence
with rebels, and high treason, were preferred
against three men, and tried during this
week, before U. - S. Commissioner A.. H.
Smith, which have had singularly in
teresting and very important results. News
paper interference with cases undetermined
by the law we hold to be generally improper,
but the evidence we have already published
so conclusively establishes the existence of
widely-spread treason in the North, that we
do not hesitate to fix .the attention of the
public upon the startling facts. The charges
rest upon the testimony of two United
States detectives, who, with remarkable
skill and pertinacity, obtained the con
fidence, of the persons accused, and were
admitted to a knowledge of the entire
conspiracy. They found these persons en
gaged in a contraband trade, sending infor
mation to the rebel authorities, and planning
a piratical expedition from the port of New
York for the destruction of American ves
sels. A Captain Benedict assured the de
tectives, tHat his chief object was not money,
but to do all possible good to the rebellion, • all
possible harm to the Government. His con
federates in treason appear to have been go
verned ''chiefly by sordid motives, though
not without strong sympathies with the re
bellion. Interesting as the caseis in itself—
for it possesses the picturesqueness of a sen
sational modem drama, and might easily be
wrought into a capital story—it has deeper
interest as it indicates that the concealed dis
loyalty of the North js an element, larger
and more dangerous than the people are will
ing to admit. This is but one instance of
revealed corruption, but how'many more
have been successfully hidden ? It is a fal
lacy to suppose that “ murder willout;” on
the contrary, it is probable that, for every
murder discovered, another remainsjunsus
pected. The detection of this conspiracy
should convince us that other conspiracies
equally dangerous exist undetected, and
every loyal citizen should aid the Govern
ment with all his power in bringing the guilty
to punishment.
Among the letters to persons in the rebel
.States, secured by the detectives, were seve
ral which implicate prominent peace men of
Philadelphia. One of these letters is front
Professor Dickson, of the Jefferson Medi
cal College, who writes to his Southern
friend, “the cry in the streets of the fall of
Vicksburg is killing me by inches.” We
think that this exposure; of his disloyalty,
and the additional exposure whi<jli?is sure
to follow, should kill him yet" more rapidly.
Though the letter was not fully read in
court, we have the authority of the District
Attorney for stating that it contained im
portant information, intended for; the rebel*
authorities. What can be thought of the
man who, occupying a responsible position
in a college of a loyal city, degrades himself
to the low rank of a spy? What excuse
can he offer for his treason ? Granting the
most that can be claimed, that a diseased
conscientiousness attached him to the rebel
lion, that misfortune cannot absolve him (
from the charge of hypocrisy. Virtually, he
held his professorship and his position in so
ciety upon understood terms of loyalty,
to the Government; openly he dared not,--
and did not, express the sentiments he
cherished. Undoubtedly he permitted the
public to believe him loyal, while secretly
he sent traitorous information to the enemy,
and complained that-the national successes
were killing Kirn by inchies. Professor
Dickson is in a very unenviable predica
ment, and we are not surprised that Mr.
\ anbvke, counsel' for the defence in this
case, should have wondered he was not ar
rested. Other gentlemen, doubtless, have
profound reasonto dread the reading of the
letters in the possession of the District-At
torney. In fact, their importance may be
inferred from the fact that the defendants
waived the hearing on the charge of high
treason, because the hearing involved the
reading of the letters, and preferred com
mittal to their publication. The public in
terests demand that when the trial is re
sumed these letters shall be read, and their
writers held to the strictest account of the
law.
Influence of Journalism on the Riots.
Of all the journals in New York, thatwhich
has appeared most indifferent to the sup
pression of the riots is the jkerald. And yet,
by virtue of its peculiar position and cha
racter, the Herald possesses more power to
allay those fearful disturbances than all the
others combined. Journals of high moral
tone were utterly incapable of reaching the
evil. The respectable classes they might
address, and them they could and did influ
ence ; but, with the degraded and brutalized
population, they were powerless. The men
who massacred harmless negroes, who
burned an orphan asylum, who trampled
and kicked the dead bodies of their vic
tims into shapeless masses, were beyond
the influence of purely respectable re
monstrances. It was in vain for any.
newspaper representing the higher classes
of Eociety to address an ignorant mob;
the very qualities which make such a news
paper powerful with the intelligent and the
good, render it impotent with the ignorant
and evil; the rioters would be, most assured
ly, incapable of taking its good counsel, if
for no better reason than the fact that it was
offered in grammatical English. Suppose a
clergyman addressing in elegant and forcible
Greek a crowd of South-sea-cannibals upon
the wickedness of man-eating, and you sup
pose a position exactly similar to that of the
best of the journals of New York during
the present week.. Separated by refined
tastes, civilized habits, moral principles, and
difference of language from the brutes it
addressed, the respectable press had no
more power to restrain their fury than King
Canute to restrain the waves.
It was far different with the Herald. Be
tween it and the rioters these differences did
not exist. On the contrary, it had long been
the sheet which they trusted; it published
the news which gratified their depraved
tastes ; its principles did not alienate their
confidence by an offensive parade of austere
virtue; its editorials were written in lan
guage which, though sometimes obscure to
tlie educated, was easily understood by the
most ignorant of readers. Among the riot
ers were, doubtless, many of its subscribers,'
who, in taverns and low haunts of vice and
misery, eagerly searched its columns for in
iormation and advice. Over the lower
classes of society its authority was almost
supreme, and might have been exerted in
behalf of law and order with a force
which coukChave hardly been resisted.
Great was the opportunity for good which
was thus offered this notorious journal, and
had it been used, might have compensated
for all the evil of its past. - And yet, while
the World and the News, frightened by the
monster they had assisted to create, vainly
implored the rioters to desist from their ter
rible work, .the Herald, yiitla. a satauic spirit
of self-satisfaction, took not one step to
repair the evil. It had not one earnest word
of condemnation for the beast's who for three
days raged in the streets of the metropolis.
Houses were robbed and burned by
thieves —the Herald spoke of "the excited
people;" unoffending men were beaten to
death with paving stones —it spoke of
“popular excitement;” children were
burned alive—it spoke of a “presumed
sense of wrong which carries the masses
to excesses;” dying men were mal
treated in ways which make men almost
ashamed of their humanity the Herald
trusted that ■“ thesA excesses would, no
doubt, be hereafter deplored by those who
inflict the suffering, and by those who
suffer !” ■ ■ v 1 ' !
It was in such terms that the Heraicl al
luded to the bloody and brutal outrages of
tbe past week, instead of branding them as
they deserved. It tacitly encouraged the
rioters, by refusing to condemn them. When
they read in the Herald no unqualified re
buke of their dastardly cruelty, but, on the
contrary, carefully-worded references to
tlieir wrongs, and the tyranny of the Go
vernment, how could its ignorant sub
scribers help believing that their favorite
newspaper secretly approved of all tlieir
doings ? And how can the intelligent public
avoid such a conclusion, looking with as
tonished eyes on this shameless indifference
to duty ? The Herald has fallen lower than
its bitterest enemy could have believed.
Never again will such an opportunity for
good he offered it. In the New York riots
it had one great chance to purify its record,
and win the approval of the virtuous and
wise. This chance it scorned, and-has lost,
and now must painfully feel that the only
method left to it of serving the interests of
order and morality is the discontinuance of
its publication.
The European News.
Peace or war in Europe is a question
of great importance to us at all times, hut
particulariy at present, when it is believed
that England and France are only awaiting
a plausible pretext for interfering in our
affairs, and when it is reported that Spain is'
to be, or has been, solicited to in that
meddling movement. Napoleon and Pal
merston, however, will have so much to
do, should war break out in Europe, that
they would be compelled to leave us to our
selves, in that case. Let its see what the
situation is, across the Atlantic. Itsriy
continues in what may. he called a tran
sition state. Victor Emmanuel is fight
ing with a great enemy in the King
dom of- Naples,—with brigandage, which
may be considered a permanent institution
of Southern Italy,—and this fully employs
him, at present—though he would prefer
making a dash at Rome and Venetia. Nei
ther of these coveted places is likely, at
present, to come into his possession. Na
poleon, who calls himself “eldest son of
the church” ("the title of the Gapet line of
French Kings, ) maintains the ; temporality
of the Pope in Rome, nor is at 1 ' all likely
to withdraw a protectorate which, however
costly, gives him great weight among the
Catholic Powers of the world. The Empe
ror of Austria is in a better condition to
contend .for the continued occupation of
Venice tlianheever before has been, and will
hold his own there—while it pleases him so
to do. Venetia may ultimately become part
of the newly-constituted Kingdom of Italy,
to which it geographically belongs; but this
is more likely to be effected by treaty than
by arms. "Under the circumstances, Austria
might- be induced, “for a con-si-de-ra-tion,”
as old Tkapbois hath it, to relinquish V.ene
tia, which he has found a permanently dis
affected province, costly to the Empire, and
to be surrendered without the loss of pres
tige, inasmuch as it never was part ’ of the
hereditary possessions of the Empire fas
Lombardy was, ) but was first ceded to Aus
tria, by tbe treaty of Campo Formio, in
October, 1707. -
"When mention is made of Austria, it is
gratifying to observe how much the condi
tion of that great empire has improved of
late. Two or three years ago the general
expectation -was that Hungary would speedi
ly revolt,.assert her nationality, fshe was a
powerful monarchy nearly two hundred
years hefore.the Emperor Frkderick Bah-
Jlarossa erected Austria into a duchy, ) and :
'endeavor to resu me a position among the
independent sovereignties of Europe. At :
that time, to confess, the truth, Hungary was
miserably governed,' and Austria had no
flight to expect any thing but disaffection.
The Emperor of Austria,' though. a young
■man, was accessible to goo'd . advice, and
proceeded to put himself right with all
ibis people hy granting them a libe
ral Constitution. He has adhered to it,
despite of much obstruction on one side, and
much distrust on the other. He created
free speech, representative Government, and
the responsibility of the Ministry to the
nation, and the Bohemians and Hungarians
have begun to perceive that what _ he pro
mised is a reality. The consequence is, dis
affection is dying out, the finances are get
ting into a wholesome condition, the national
expenditure has been reduced, the Debt has
not been increased, arid Austria, becoming
richer and stronger, once naore has a voice
potential in Europe. When some further
reforms are effected; such as the general in
troduction of trial by jury, changes in the
criminal law, alterations in the. bankruptcy
law-, and simplifications in criminal pro
cedure, all of which are now before the
Reichsratli, or Parliament, Austria will be
one of the freest countries in continental
Europe. Up to this time, Hungary has not
sent representatives to the parliament of
Austria, ("neither has Transylvania, we be
lieve,J but pass a little time, and even Hun
gary, notwithstanding her recollection of
her own parliament and ancient indepen
dence, can no longer remain isolated.
The condition of Prussia is such as to
prevent her affording any substantial aid to
Russia, in case that the Czar- should be
driven into war with France, or England,
or both. The Prussians—a quiet, humble,
patient, and law-abiding people—have lite
rally been goaded into something closely
verging on revolt, and it is entirely upon the
.cards that, as the last straw broke the camol’s
hack, one more high-handed manifestation
on the part of their foolish King may end
in his being irrevocably Exiled. Fortu
nately, his son, a young man of liberal
views, is unequivocally opposed to trie pa
rental folly which has thrown one of the
finest Kingdoms of Europe into a political
crisis which now verges on Revolution.
; France continues, like a tiger, ready to
make a spring upon some
tiqns of that country are so military that
every now and then war is commenced,
acting as a sort of safety-valve to the seeth
ing cauldron of agitation which, ever since
1789, has been almost perpetually in a state
of dangerous ebullition. The French rapa
city for”“glory” continues unabated, and..:
the army expects a war with Russia, as a
matter of course. Trie recollection of the
eider Napoleon's terrible discomfiture in.
1813, when he invaded Russia with the
greatest amiy ever sent to the field, may
contribute to the popular desire’ of France to
war with the Czar. .
Whether or not this shall be, this war
depends wholly upon the reply which the
Czar may make to the joint representations
of France, England, and Austria—represen
tations which, indeed, are sufficiently strong
to deserve to be considered as the ultimatum
of these Powers. Certain concessions to Po
land' are suggested, s which, it is alleged,
would put an end to the revolution there if
the Poles were satisfied that the Czar in
tends, if granted, to carry them out with
good faith and frank loyalty. By these,
Poland would continue part of the Prussian
empire, (virtually so, at last,j but with a
sort of political independence, with free
dom of religion and language, with a native
legislature, and with native functionaries in
trie Government, the public offices, and the
courts of judicature. The Czar has not yet
made a reply to the three notes of remon
strance sent to him. Some of the foreign
journals pretend to know that the reply will
be so far favorable as to consent to trie pro
positions being made the basis of an arrange
ment, at a convention. But the difficulty
would he this : The Poles, certainly, will
not lay down their arms while their affairs
are being deliberated upon by a dozen diplo
matists, sitting round a green-covered table
in Paris, London, or Vienna. Nor is it to
be expected that the Czar would readily con
sent to make tlie concessions to Poland,
with arms in her hands, which he refused
before sbe broke into revolt. It would be a
humiliation in the eyes of Europe and before
his own subjects.
Should he decline boiiig thus humiliated,
his negative response to the three great
Powers will throw upon them the responsi
bility of showing him that they meant what
they said. Austria, it is believed, will not
go to. extremities against Prussia,—her ex
pected policy is that semi-neutrality which
she -niaihfflined during the War in the
Crimea; England will use every effort to
avoid being again seduced, by France, into
hostilities with Russia. Will France rush,
single-handed, into such a strife? If so,
with what purpose ? Napoleon has a
habit of paying his war expenses by
making friend or foe give him an equi-'
valent in cash or territory. What can he
desire from Russia ? Let the war begin, and
England cannot help drifting into it, as in
‘1854.
Palmerston Under a Cloud.
The Palmerston Ministry has just sus
tained a great defeat in the House of Com
mons—a defeat, too, in which, with the stu
pid blundering for which the Whigs are
notorious, they have managed to involve
Queen Victoria, personally.
The Crystal Palace of 1851, Paxton’s
dream of glass and iron realized by the ma
gic of money, was not allowed to remain ou
the site in Hyde Park where it had been
erected, but was torn down; and the present
Crystal Palace at Sydenham, fin Kent, yet
■ still a suburb of London,_) partly constructed
out of its materials. Ten years later, it was
resolved to have a second World’s Fair, in
London, on a far larger scale than tbe first,
and the site chosen was some land conveni
ent to South Kensington and Brompton,
which the Commissioners of 1851 had pur
chased out of the profit's of the first World’s
Fair. On the second occasion, the talents
of Paxton were dispensed with. He had
offered his counsel, but it was refused, and
every regular architect was snubbed. The
late Prince Albert, head of both Commis
sions, ruled every thing, and it was agreed,
on his suggestion, that the plan of one Captain
Fowke, a naval officer, who had set upas
amateur architect, should be accepted. This
plan was very simple, merely to builda huge
barn of brick, iron, and wood, without much
glass. Eventually, two immense domes,
like gigantic pepper-castors, were added to
give dignity and grandeur to the barn. It
is but just to. the memory of Prince Albert
to say that the domes were added, after his
unexpected death, in December, 1861. He
would scarcely have accepted these mon
strosities, though he did accept Captain
Fowke’ s barn.
The execution of this palace (\) in which
vast size was to stand as* the equivalent for
grace and :grandeur,'was given
ors, who contrived to obtain
from the Exhibition Commissioners by
which, at any rate, a great profit would ac
crue to them, while, should the Government
finally purchase the building—which Punch
laughed at as Fowkes’ “ Dulce Domum ”
this profit would be doubled. Tlie contract
ors’ agreement, in a word, much resembled
the . smart schoolboy who would make a wa
ger with one of his desk-mates on the safe
termß of “ Heads, I win; tails, you lose.”
The building was erected, filled, opened,
and—very much ridiculed in prose and
verse, by pencil as well as by pen. Its only
merits were—it wa,s ’extensive and lofty. It
held a great many exhibited- objects, and
there was annexed to it ("all that the first
World’s Pair wanted to make it perfect), a
large picture gallery, in which. British and
foreign art was well represented. On the
whole, however, the second World’s Fair
of London was not very successful, and it
is doubtful whether a third will follow, at
the same decennial interval as before. .> •
The Exhibition closed, public .opinion
loudly declared in favor of the immediate
removal of Fowkes’ Folly. The building’*
was cleared out in November, but not a*
brick has been removed. The Commis
sioners and the contractors were wiser in’
their generation than that,, and proposed to
the Government to purchase the building as
it stands, with a few acres.of land, its site
and surrounding. The press, with the.
"public, laughed at this proposal, which
Premier Palmerston and Financier Glad
stone also smiled at at first;'-but, though
newspapers and newspaper readers have
generally continued to the bad taste, as
well as the great cost, of perpetuating the
ugliest public building in Europe, Palmer
ston and Gladstone have “turned their
backs on themselves,” fas Lord Castle-
BEAGH used to say, with his Malaprop non-
and have lately appeared, in
THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1863.
•Parliament, advocates 'of this very
scheme.
Queen Victoria, whom The Times has
significantly belated of late for neglect
ing her public duties since her husband’s
death, has a reverence for Fowkeb’ en
domed barn, simply because Prince Albert
approved of the original plans, though he
never saw even the commencement off their
execution. Because he had a hand in it, the
widowed Queen took up and patronized the
idpa of making the people of England pay
a vast amount for its perpetuation. As the
time drew near when a money-vote for this
amount was to be presented to the House of
Commons, for the 'purchase of the new
“house that Jack built,” Palmerston
clearly saw breakers ahead. Perhaps he
intimated as much to the Queen, who,
whether he did or not, took an unequivocal
mode of showing her feeling in the matter.
On the 10th of June, the Memorial of the
Great Exhibition of 1851, (a granite monu
ment, on the summitj. of which is placed a
colossal bronzd statue of the late Prince
Albert,) was first displayed to public gaze,
in the presence of the'Prince of Wales, his
wife, and several^other members of his'i
family. It stands in the Horticultural So
ciety’s gardens, South Kensington. On
the preceding'day, it had been privately,
shown to Queen Victoria, who was
thereby much affected, but—excellent wo
man of business that she is'.—immediately
thereafter paid a visit to Powkcs’ Exhibi
tion barn, and pronounced decidedly in
favor of the: purchase of the building by
the nation.
This opinion found its way into the
newspapers of course, and had a temporary
effect. A few days after, Paljlersto'k
proposed that the Exhibition land'’ did
barn be. purchased by the State, ("out of the
people’s_ money,) alleging that it would
answer nicely for a portrait gallery, for a
Patent office, and for a Menagerie of stuffed
beasts. He put the cost at the trifling
sum of £484,000, (only $2,430,000,) with
the extra annual expense of keeping it
in repair, and declared that- a 'little stucco
Would give a respectable appearance to the
naked bricks On the first vote, the cost of
buying the land for £120,000 (equal to
$600,000,) was carried by a majority of 132,
in a House of 402 members, which shows
how much “ whipping” had been employed
to gather in votes. Gladstone, with great
casuistry, defended; the scheme—he is a
rising man, and would not stand in his own
light by opposing the Queen’s desire. It
was hinted that she was very anxious on the
point. The vote for providing money to
buy the Exhibition Building, was postponed
for a week, but Lord Palmerston did
“shew” on the appointed day, which was
therefore put off until July 2.
Meanwhile, the London press, with few
exceptions, commented very unfavorably on
the whole affajr, pronouncing it a job to puff
money into the purse of some interested
parties, and also to humor a sickly fancy
of the Queen, at the'expense of the People)
Punch, which fortunately appeared the very
day before the vote for purchasing the build
ing was to be discussed, gave a martoon, by
Tekkiei, the artist, entitled “Putting a
good face on it,” and showing Palmerston
as a plasterer, mounted aloft, and dabbing
trowel.sful of stucco on the Exhibition build
ing, fthe cost of the stucco being marked
£484,000,) while, with his usual coolness
lie says, “ Lor bless . you! a little tit
6’stucco will make it perfect. ”
The day after this hit appeared Palmer
ston moved in the House of Commons that
the nation should purchase the Exhibition
barn, and his courtly motion was defeated,
in a House of 409, by a .majority of 166.
Somebody else was thereby defeated also—
and that somebody is Queen Victoria.

Tlic Rebels in PenneylTanid.
The Franklin Repository describes at length the
career of the rebels in our border counties. >Their
freaks, humors, and prejudices, along with a num
ber of their outrages upon property and life, are
told graphically. ..From an interesting passage we
extract: ■ , r
Even intelligent rebel officers insisted that Lincoln
was a fugitive in Boston, and dare not occupy his
capita], and the rank and die wereregaleij with that
and equally absurd falsehoods. Others* declared
that he was habitually intoxicated, and unable tO
attend to -his official duties because of ; his intem
perance. Those men were evidently taught to re
gard President Lincoln as brutal and barbarous in
an eminent degree, and they were amazed: to] find
the loyal of all patties alike respecting him and the
Government,... : .-■'‘pfe.'"'
Rev.Mr.Pryor, father
Roger Potter-whenin
■ Congress, was with Lee as chaplain, andaeemed to
have a general supervision of the piety ofthe arniy.
He represented the progress of religion as eminently
satisfactory, and seemed to regard the rebels asper
fectly Cromwellian in morals. True, ; thky would
steal negroes and from negroes, and anything else,
from a ten-penny nail to. a Bix-horae team; but they
were nevertheless a model army, accordingto Pryor,
in all the attributes of Christian character. Our
people generally thought that the scale of zi<gi must
be very low down South. •>& • '
The discipline of the rebel , army was admirable.
No private or subaltern dared to disregard an order
in presence of his superior, or where his superior
officer was likely to ! be* advised of it. When the
rebel columns filed through Chatnbersburg, they
marched with the utmost order and decorum, and
laughing, talking loudly or singing- was' not in
dulged in. .
Some of the Border S„tate, and most of the more
Southern rebels, liad rather peculiar conceptions of
the Pennsylvania Dutch. Quite a number were
astonished to-find our people speaking.'Engliah; as
they supposed that the prevalent languagfe was,the
Gentian. At .first, when .they attempted; derisive
remarks, tbeywould imitate the brokeffEnglish of
the Germans; and judging from EwelPs demand for
twenly-five barrels of sourkrout
when it is unknown in any country, even
the commanding officers must have consi
dered our . people as profoundly Dutch, ilt
would require an intensely Dutch community to’
supply sourkrout in July. Our farm buildings and
especially our large and fine barns all through the
valley, at once excited their astonishment, and ad
miration. Quite a number of officers vißited the
bain of the editor** a matter of curioßity,although
there aie many in our valley much larger and quite
as well finished.. The" private soldiers generally
concluded that it must be the church of some very
llarge denomination in this community;-; and the
; out-bui)dings : about it. such as cbicken-hquse, hog
rpeij, carriage bouse, &c., were generally supposed
to be servants* houses,'and very neat ones !,;

The Invasion of Ohio*
ARMI OF THE POTOMIC,
Berlin, Md., lG. —[Special to Baltimore
American.]—The Army of the Potomac is now in
this vicinity. How long it will remain is of course
only known to General Meade. It is probable that
wveral days will be spent in recuperating both
men: and horßes, both having suffered from long
fatiguing marches and the heat of the weather.
The position'is one which gives the army the.ad*
vantage of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by
which it can be easily and abundantly fed. The
proximity of the river is also of great advantage to
the men, and the whole army will probably be put
through a thorough ablution. It is not, probable'
that the present inactivity will be of long con
tinuance. Lee is said to be pushing as rapidly as
poEßible for Culpeper, and will hardly atop until he
is beyond the Rappahannook. The, necessity of
feeding hiß army, which cannot well be Accom
plished at any great distanoe from Richmond, will
hurry his movements.
Thomas O. Hasten, one of Marshal McPhaiPs
detectives, has given me, some interesting de
tails of the escape of General Lee’s army down
to'the, Potomac. Whilst out on a .soout he waß
taken prisoner by the rebels and confined at Wil
liamsport from Friday last until the arrival of
oui troops. Up to Sunday he was in close con
finement, but he had a full view of the river and the
operations of the rebels. On Sunday his guard weQt
across the river, leaving him, and he then passed
about as a citizen of Williamsport, and had the
fullest opportunity for inquiry and observation. The
temper of the rebels, both officers and men,* was de
spondent, and they were in momentary expectation
of an attack from our forces, the result of which
they admitted would be disastrous.
On the arrival of Gen. Lee’s advance on Sunday
week, the most earnest efforts were made tocroßß
the river. Seven scows were built, and ontheße
light wagon trains were crossed, each scow taking
one and as many men as it could carry. On Tues
day and Wednesday the river fell so much that
many of the infantry forded it, the water being
breast high. The subsequent rains again swelled
the river, and it became unfordable. The rebels
then the construction of a bridge at
Falling W'aters. using for'it the boats they had
built at Williamsport. This bridge was not finished
until Monday noon, and then agrand rush took place
to get across artillery and heavy trains. Everything
was moved back to the river, except the lightest ar
tillery and a BtrjQDg picket line, which held the field
woiks thrown up along the front. On Monday night
these were drawn in, and by daylight nothing was
left this side but a rear guard of infantry, most of
whom were captured by Gen. Buford’s cavalry.
The tone of the rebels, Mr. Hastes assures me, was
utterly despondent. Both officers and men regarded
their position as desperate, and many of the latter
expressed a wish for our forces to attack, so that
they might be captured. On Monday they had not
more than 40,000 or 50,000 men this side of the Po
tomac, and had they been attacked would not have
made a very serious defence. Gen. Lee and his staff
forded the river at 3 o’clock on Monday afternoon.
Gen. Stuart, with his cavalry, followed about two
bourß later.
THE LfiSAD OF THE GETTYSBURG BATTLE-
FIELD.
Chambersburg. July 16.— Every arrangement
has been made at Gettysburg; by Governor Ourtin
for the removal, upon application to David Wills,
residing there, of the, bodies of Pennsylvanians
killed in the late battle. A map has been made of
the battle*field, which shows the exact locality of
every grave.
A list of the wounded and sick Pennsylvanians is
also being made, and every facility for the finding
of soldiers will be afforded. The trains, however,
for the next eight days, will be used exclusively in
the transportation of . the wounded and sick. ,
Persons who contemplate a visit to Gettysburg,
for the purposeof removing the remains of relatives
and do well to postpone it for one
week, at least? Transportation will be furnished, at
the State expense, for the body, and one person to
accompany it.
. Those of the Pennsylvania militia wounded in the
late skirmish near Hagerstown will b 8 returned to
their homes as soon as the transportation can pos
sibly be prooured.

Fort Wagner Assaulted.
New York, July 16.—The steamer Union, from
off Charleston, via Fortress Monroe, has arrived.
She left on the 12th instant, (Sunday.) Her officers
report that General Gilmore captured nearly all of
Morris Island, with a large number of prisoners,
siege guns, and cannon. On the 12th, five moni
tors, and a number of gunboats, were shelling Fort
Wagner on Morris Island, and have probably cap-,

Official Despatch from Gen. Gilmore.
Washington, July 16. —The following report waß
received at the headquarters of the army:
Headquarters or,the Department
of the South, in the Field,
Morris Island, July 12.
Major General H. W. HaUcck, Generahin- Chief:
Sir : I b ave the honor to report that at five o’clock
on the morning of the lDth iDßt.j I made an attack
upon the enemy’s fortified position on the southend
of Morris Island, and after an engagement'lasting
three hours and a quarter, captured all his ,strong
hold upon that part of the island, and pushed for
ward my infAntry to within six hundred yards of
Fort "Wagner.
We now hold all the island except about one mile
on the north end, which includes Fort Wagner and
a battery on Cummings’ Point, mounting, at the
present time, fourteen or fifteen guns in the aggre
gate.*'
The assaulting column was gallantly led by Bri
gadier General Strong, It landed in small boat*,
under cover of our batteries on Folly island, and
four monitors, led by Rear Admiral Dahlgren,
.which entered the main channel abreast of Morris
island scon after our batteries opened. The moni
tors continued their-fire during the day, mostly
against Fort Wagner.
On the morning, of the 11th instant, at daybreak,
an attempt was made to carry Fort -Wagner by as
sault.- The parapet was gained, but the supports re
coiled under the fire to which they were exposed,
and could not be got up.
Our loss in both actions will not vary much from
about 160 in killed, wounded, and missing. We
have taken eleven piece* of heavy ordnance and a
large quantity of . camp equipage.
The enemy’s loss in killed, wounded, and missing,
will not fall short of 200.
Veiy respeotfully, your obedient servant,

Brigadier General Commanding.
THE WAK IN THE SOUTHWEST.
General Sherman at Bolton, Mississippi—
- Grant Still at Vicksburg.
Vicksburg, July B.—General Sherman’* com
mand is moving east, and will probably reach Bol
ton this evening. Bolton is four miles beyond the
battle field of Champion Hills, and about half way
on a direct line between this place and Jackson.
General Johnston had his headquarters at that
1 lace at laßt advice*. Previous to the surrender at
Vicksburg, General Sherman’s advance, under Oa
terhaus’a division, h*ve been skirmishing with the
enemy’s pickets all the way from the Big Black to
this place, where the couriers left him. The main
tody of the rebel army has not been seen, and Gen.
Sherman has not been able to hear anything con
cerning it.
He anticipated gaining some information concern
ing it at Bolton. His advance has been much slower
than was anticipated, on account of obstructions
placed in the woods by our troops to prevent the ad
vance of Johnston. Gen. Grant’s headquarter* still
remain here.
THE CAPTURE OP PORT HUDSON.
Cairo, July 15.—A bearer of despatches from
Gen. Grant confiimß the occupation of Port Hudson
by Gen. Banks. Our troops took possession on the
9th iDßtant.
The entire garrison, consisting of 7,000 men, was
captured. Also, 35 field-pieces, 25 siege guns, and
10,000 stand of small arms.
We have Maj. Gen. Gardner, Brig. Gen, Beale,
and Colonels Stedman, Mills, Smith, and two other*?} 1
whose names are unknown.
The latest accouts say that Gen. Sherman was
still pursuing Gen. Johnston, but that the sagacious
rebel had kept out of his way.

THE RIOT IN NEW YORK.
FOURTH DAT OF MOB RULE.
CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE MOB
AND THE MILITARY.
NUMBER OF LIVES LOST
ARKEST OF ANDREWS, FROM VIRGINIA,
Confederate Money Found Upon Him.
THE RIOT MODERATED.
CARD OF ARCHBISHOP HUGHES,
[From the Evening Post o yesterday.]
, Afterthree days and three nightß of mob law, the
city is comparatively quiet to-day. The riot is ra
pidly subsiding. No formidable bodies of depreda*
tors were visible below Thirty-sixth street this
rooming, and the few gangs of ruffians who still hold
out are imperfectly organized and widely scattered.
There have been little spirts of a riotous feeling at
.two oi^three places to-day, but the presence in our
streets of the uniformed militia returning from Ma-'
lylftnd seems to have acted aB a . sudden extin
guisher .to the hopes of the plundering thieves.
THB MAN ANDREWS CAUGHT,
“Mr. Andrews, from Virginia,” fell into the hands
of the police this morning, and is nowin close con
finement. A shrewd detective discovered the place
of his concealment; the officers then disguised them
selves, drove up to his house in a carriage, and ob
tain* d possession of hia person.
Andrews is a tall man, with a long, Heht-oolored
beard, and rather fine-looking. By profession he is
a lawyer, but it is reported that he haß lately been
occupied as a writer for the Daily Neivs, of this city.
His antecedents are of a peculiar character. For
merly a resident oLNorfolk, Virginia, he was con
cerned in some matter of soandal in that city, which
resulted in his removal to Baltimore, whence he
came to New York.
His last public performance was a speech to the
rioters of this city, whose conduct he warmly ap
plauded and whom he offered to lead, “if they could
find nobody else to do it.”
REGIMENTS RETURNING TO THE CITV*
The 7t.h, 10th, and 66th Regiments arrived home
last night. The men are in good spirits, and
although very much ashamed of New York, profess
an earnest desire to root out the last vestiges of the
mobs that have disgraced the city for the last three
days.
The battery of the Bth Regiment also arrived here
last night-, accompanied by its full complement of
men. They are ready for inßtant service. The re
mainder of the regiment will arrive to-day.
THE HUDSON RIVEIi RAILROAD REPAIRED;
The trains on the Hudson river railroad came in
on time this morning. The repairs of the road have
been thoroughly completed, and no disturbances
occurred this morning on any part of the route.
THE CITY CARS AND STAGES RUNNING,
Thecarsand stages all resumed their trips this
morniDg, under the assurance of the Mayor that
they should be protected by a sufficient force, in case
of further disturbance.
THE EASTERN TELEGRAPH LINES.
The lines of telegraph between this city and Bos
ton will probably be repaired in the course of to
day. , This morning, despatches for Boston were re
ceived by the operators here up to twelve o’clock,
and were sent in manuscript at that hour to Bridg
port by steamer, to be telegraphed thence to Bos
ton. • Persons who forwarded despatches eastward
this morning, may oount upon their reception at
the other end of the line by three or four o’clock
this afternoon,
BE CAREFUL OF THE GAS !
A gang of ruffians again visited the gas works at
the foot of Fourteenth street this morning, and
drove off the workmen. The Gas Company, com
pelled to work under difficulties, agaia caution
citizens to be sparing in the use of gas in stores and
dwellings to-Dight, in order that the streets may re
main well lighted.
PERILS OF CITY RAILROAD RIDING.
A small party of vagabonds stopped the cars of
the Fourth-avenue line near Nineteenth street this
morning, and rifled the conductors and passengers
of tbeir money and valuables. The passengers were
profoundly disgusted at this treatment, but no per
sonal violence was offered on either side.
TWENTY-FIVE DEAD RIOTERS AT,BELLEVUE,
Fifty-four persons, wounded in the three-days
riot, have been received at Bellevue Hospital. Of
this number twenty-five have died. Most of these
victims were rioters.
ROBBERY AND PLUNDER.
Robbery and plunder are now the objects of the
small riotous gatherings in various parts of the city.
Their principal operations are performed in the
night, and demands for money are made wherever
any chance exists of obtaining it.
One case occurred in which a house was eet on
fire three times, and was finally burned, after the
occupants had complied with the demands of the
crowdj and other instances, in considerable number,
arc reported, where an appearance of defence has
frightened away the robber*.
IN THE TWENTIETH WARD.
Last ' night waß generally quiet in the vioinityof
the State Arsenal on the Seventh avenue. The want
of order and system that was manifest in the ope
rations of the military on Tuesday night was suc
ceeded by a complete organization of the available
force for the defence of State property and the pro
tection of the immediate neighborhood.
General Sandford was present until one o’clock
this morning, when he retired, leaving Col. Postley,
of the 3d cavalry (militia), in command. Pickets
were placed on the neighboring streets for serenl
squares around, and artillery, cavalry, infantry, werp'
all r eady for immediate service; on very Bhort notice.
Detachments of cavalry were constantly scouring,
the neighborhood, in search of evidences of the out
breaks. None, however, occurred up to 4 o’clock
this morning, in that ward, except the burning
some frame houses on Twenty-seventh street, near
Seventh avenue. A small party of ruffians in this
instance entered the premises and demanded that
the owner should give them fifty dollars as a con
dition of saviog the property. The. owner was
unable to comply with the demand; His family was
turned out and immediately the plaee was set on fire,
and in a short time was entirely consumed. This
waß in the immediate neighborhood of some build- '
ings occupied by colored people, and these were at
•once beset by the mob, whic * by this time had in
creased considerably in numters.
The firemen, to their credit be it said, not satisfied .
with simply using their exertions to put outthe fire,
when assaults were made ui on colored women and
children when endeavoring to escape, in several in
stances fought the rioters and.savtd those poor peo
ple from acts of violence, if not from 1 being killed.
The demand for the money for setting fire to the
houee and the attack upon the negroes was all done
in a very short space of time, so that before aco m
pany of soldiers’could arrive on the spot the rioters
had accomplished their purposes and had made good
their escape.
RIOTING IN BROOKLYN.
The fire which occurred at eleven o’clock last
night at the Atlantic Docks destroyed a stationary
elevator on the end ol the centre pier of the ; basin.
It belonged to. the Floating Elevator Company. The
fire bells immediately gave the alarm, but before the
engines arrived the whole structure was enveloped
in flames. It appears that men were congregating
on the pier in smaU crowds for two hours previous
ly, but ro demonst! ationß were made till about
eleven o , clock, wheiv*ft band of ruffians, armed with
clubs, and revolveis,’ proceeded to the elevator.
There was but one watchm.-n on the premises, and
thus be was soon forced to fly for hi* life.
After they had set the fire going to their satis
faction,'they deliberately proceeded: to the floating
elevator of Mr. William B. Barber, which waa
lying a short distance from the dock, dragged a
barrel of pitch on board over the decks of tne ves
sels adjoining, and then set it on fire, when it burned
to'the water’s edge.
Not satisfied with this, they next set fire to the
dredging machine, belonging to the Atlantic Dock
Company, and it burned till it sunk.
A BANNER,
Three or four blocks from the place where the fire
occurred, at the corner of Hicks street and Hamilton
avenue, a banner, bearing the following inscription,
has been suspended across the street for the past
two days
“ Q-ivb US'MACKLENNEN.
12 ward on deck—in favor of te union. But are
now. ready to assist, thair. New. York fit Brooklyn
Brothers. No £3OO arraiDgeoiFiits. with iis.”
The men who hoisted this banner stopped two
farmers’ wagons on Tuesday night, and appro*
printed their contents.
BROOKLYN PROSrECTS,
It is believed that a regular gang of these despe
radoes is organizing in Brooklyn. The various se
cret societies keep their .meetings open until two
and three o’clock in the morning, and the members
declare that they were notified by the mob to hold
themselves in readiness for any emergency.
RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATIONS IN NEW JERSEY.
In Jersey City last night gangs of ruffians made
several attempts at riot, A crowd gathered at eight
o’clock at the corner of Prospect street and Newark
avenue, but an energetic pollcem&D, by means of a
vigorous application of ratan, put the rabble to
flight. There was-a greater crowd at the City Hall
subsequently. Mayor Roman made a speech; also
District Attorney McClellan, and the assemblage
seemed to disperse. *
At 10 o’clock, however, the grand demonstration
of the evening was.made. The rabble proceeded,
hooting and howling, to the dog*pound, between
Jersey City and Hudson City, and set the institution
on fire. The flames were extinguished by the fire
men. One poodle dog, the only animal in thepoundj
the property of an old lady,’is understood to have
escaped.
The desire of the mob was to destroy some houses
inhabited by negroes, whom they had ordered -out;
but as a number of tenement houses, inhabited by
Irish families, adjoining the negro quarters, could not
have been saved, the mob was puzzled as to what
action it should take. Hence, in the dilemma, the
pound was fired.
The firemeh' of Jersey City refused to be con
trolled by the rioters.
TROUBLES APPREHENDED IN ELIZABETHTOWN,
Last night the best class, of citizens of Elizabeth
town formed themselves in less, than an hour into a
guard of public in order to protect the city
and private property threatened by a mob of fifteen
hundred people from Elizabethport. The attack
w&b to be made at eleven o’clock at night, but it ap
pears that order was countermanded to-night.
A committee was appointed to go early this
morning to Trenton, to obtain arms from the Go
vernor. : *•
The citizens of Elizabethtown and the Common
Council are well prepared for any emergency, and
in case of attack will not fire blank cartridge.'
Information was receivi d last night by the com
mittee coming to the houses who were specially
threatened by the ruffians, who also proposed to
attack the property of the New Jersey CentrAl Rail
road. .
THE CITIZENS OF HOBOKEN PREPARED.
In Hoboken, yesterday, there was apprehension
of a visitation fromthe New York mob, aided by
the bitterest copperheads in Hoboken. In order to
prepare for any emergency, the citizens held a public
meeting, at which resolutions were passed in refe
rence to the military, the fire department, and the
police.' A resolution to enrol all the citizens of Ho
boken was amended by including the township of
Weehawken, in order to test the feelings of gentle
men of large property. The amendment was offered
by Judge Whitley Andcarried by acclamation.
The meeting then appointed a rallying place Jn
each ward, to which, on a given signal, the enrolled
were to repair. . Captain Mount, a retired
and wounded veteran, and also a young wounded
lieutenant, put the soldiers and citizens through the
drill, and sent out scouts to keep watch and report.
The military and the Oceana fire department rested
on their arms all night, as many , private citizens,,
who had armed themselves for Hie occasion.
During this time a great fire was raging in Jersey
City, and was followed by a general alarm and a fire
at Hudson City. On the previous day rioters had
shown themselves at Guttenberg, North Hoboken,,
and West Hoboken.
THE BIOT*MAKERS,
Thus, two journals that have done all in their
power to incite and encourage the rioterß, yesterday
published flaming accountsdt a; riot at Princeton,
New Jersey, adding that it was the purpose of the
.people not to permit any soldiers to pass through
ibat place for New York. But there has Ween no
riot at Princeton; in proof of which statement we
append a despatch received direct from Professor
John McLean, of the college, as follow*:
14 The statement in the Express and World, respect
ing a mob in Prinvcton. is altogether false.
“JOHN McLEAN.”
[From the Express. 1 •
ANDREWS SENT TO PORT LAFAYETTE.
About eleven o’clock this morning information
was.received at the Central office that Andrews, tho
man who addressed the mob on Monday and volun
teered as their leader,was concealed in a houße of as
signation in Eleventh street. Detectives Duseobury,
Farley, Bedford, Treinan, and McCord went up to
No. 11 Eleventh street, and found theohjoofcof their
search concealed in a bed-room on the upper floor.
They told him thatthe police were after him, and that
he had better go with them. Andrews gladly went
with themj and chatted quite freely till he found
himself at police headquarters, before Gen. Brown
and the polioe commissioners. He then became
quite indignant, demanded to be taken Into court,
See. He received by way of answer, “take him down
stairs.’'
He waß taken down stairs, and locked up. A
guard had to be placed over him to prevent the
police getting at him, so exasperated were the men
at hia conduct.
United States Marshal Murray was at once sent
for, and by this time Mr. Andrews is safely confined
in Fort Lafayette.
The right name of Andrews is John XT. Andrews.
He is a Virginian by birth, and a lawyer in this
city. He has resided in thia city about five years,
most of which time the police say he has lived with
a notorious colored courtesan, named Josephine
Wilson. He has a wife and four children living in
Virginia, in the vicinity of Norfolk. The maiden
name of his wife ia said to be Foster. She was
taken home by her father upon being deserted by
Andrews. The police recognize him as a habitual
associate of thieveß and prostitutes.
He admits that he has been with the mob, and ad
dressed them on two occasions. ■
SPECIAL POLICEMEN.
Several hundred citizens have been Bwora ia as
special policemen this morning. Among them were
Internal Revenue Collector Orton, and his assis
tants.
The superintendent (Kennedv) came to the police
headquarters this morning. He is in a very weak
condition, and presents a shocking appearance, be
ing bruised iq every portion of his body and counte
nance. He is, however, in excellent spirits.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK.
As we go to. press with this edition, there is a riot
in the First avenue and Twenty-first street, in the
neighborhood of yesterday’s fight. This locality is
called Maokerellvilie. A compaay of the 65 th New
York, going to protect Hitchcock’s steel factory,
were fired upon by the mob, and some fiteen of the
soldiers killed. The mob and soldiers are exchang
ing shots, and quite a skirmish is going on.
New York, July 16—3 P. M.—The gratifying an
nouncement of the arrest of Andrews, the villainous
leader of the rioters, ia announced. He has been
sent to Fort Lafayette. The arrest took place in a
house of ill-fame, in Eleventh street, where he and
his fit consort, a black woman, named Wilson, were
located. He is said to belong to a .** first family of
Virginia,” and has been quite prominent-at certain
political anti-Administration meetings held at the
Cooper Institute, and other places, of late. Some
$4OO in rebel money was found on him.
A gang of ruffians drove off the workmen from the,
gas-works on Fourteenth street, this morning.
A. small gang of vagabonds Btopped a horse car on
the Fourth avenue this morning, and robbed the

them go.
Some frame houses on Twenty-seventh street
were burned by the mob early this morning, the
owner's or occupants refusing to subsidize them.
The firemen rallied, and saved the lives of several
negroes, and drove off the rioters.
There is no truth in the reported burning of the
factories at Newark.
In several small towns in the suburbs riotous de
monstrations have been prevented by the action of
the Catholic priests imploring their parishioners to
desist.
‘ The Evening Post says that early this morning the
rioters on Staten Island burned the d6p6t and
water-stations, and afterwards attacked and bnrned
the negro shanties, killing two negroes. Many
people have left the island, including many promi
nent citizens whose liveß and property have been
threatened. *
It is said that a riot 1b now going on in the First

Washington, with the 152 d New York Volunteers.
Brigadier Gen. Ledlie haß been appointed to com
mand the military in thiß city I
7 o’CLOdk P. M.—The mob appears to have got
the best of the military in the Second avenue, and
have driven the latter into a foundry in Twenty
eighth street, hear the First avenue. -Moreforce has
heen sent them, with artillery.
The details of the aifair are as follows:
Jackson’s Foundry, at Twenty-eighth street, and
Seward’s Foundry, at Seventeenth street, were
threatened by the mob this forenoon. A detachment
of fifty of the 66th New York Militia, under Colonel
Behrend, and two howitzers, of the Bth Militia, were
sent to the scene. The mob came out of their haunts
armed with muskets and carbines, but merely yelled
furiously at first. The troops took no notice of this,
and leaving a detachment with one howitzer at Se
ward’s establishment, marched to the First avenue.
Here a party of Boughs fired on them and Adam
Schwend, one of the soldiers, waß slightly wounded.
The troops wheeled into line and placed their piece
in position, but no further hostility was attempted.
After a short halt the troops proceeded to Jack
eon’s foundry, burst open the doors and entered.
The mob now fired an occasional shot the
soldierß returned with a galling fire, and several of
the mob was wounded. The howitzer was placed
in position to command the street, and matters were
quiet for an so. About 2 o’clock reinforce
ments arrived, and the mob fired on them without
effect. The eoldiers toek aim, but were restrained
from filing by their officers,
Mr. Jackson now asked the withdrawal of the
troopß from his foundry, Gen. Brown replied, “ I
shall put my soldiers where I please, and no mob
shall dictate to me where'they shall go.” He sent
orders to defend the place at all hazards, and not to
be sparing of his fire if the crowd gathered.
A lieutenant of the 65th Regiment reported that
his menretieated from the neighborhood of Seven
teenth street and First avenue, because theyjieard
that the mob was getting large. Gen. Brown or
dered the company back under the command' of
Lieut. Pike, of ,the United States Artillery, and
placed Captain Irebucker and Lieut. Meyer under
arrest.
The passions of the; rioters were inflamed this af
ternoon by the funerals of some of the victims of
last night’s fight.
Colonel Lefferts reported his command, the 7th
Begiment, to Gen. Brown this afternoon, and was
ordered to take command of the district between
Seventh and Sixty-fifth street, and from the First
avenue to the East river, and take all means to sup
press all mobs and riots.
All was quiet in Harlem and Yorkville during the
day.
Senators Bradley and Connolly have requested the
withdrawal of the troops from the first ward, which
was refused by Police Commissioner Acton,and Gen.
Brown.
The black man beaten by the mob yesterday at
pier No. 41, and thrown overboard, was rescued
alive by the police. .
At half past four o’clock, a Bharp fight was going
on in Twenty-second street, between the first and
second avenues, between the soldiers and rioters.
All the stages and railroad cars are now running.
The city will he patroled by the military ‘to
night, and General Brown is determined that the
mob Bhall be put down to-night, if it is necessary to
kill every man found in the crowd.
The 23d Brooklyn regiment is expected home to
night, or in the morning.
Some fears are entertained of trouble in Brook
lyn to-night, and the troops in the county towns of
Kings and Queens counties are ordered into the
city. Probably, however, nothing more serious
will take place than assaults on such negroes as can
be found, and even this may be as much talk as
anything.
A placard has been posted about the city from
Archbishop Hughes, requesting that the rioters as
semble in front of his residence to-morrow, at two
o’clock, for the purpose of addrersing them in favor
of returning to their lawful avocations. Hepromises
them protection while listening to his address.
10 O’clock P. M.—The impression now is, that
there will be no more rioting in the city to-night, as
the arrival of the military has made the rioters
more wary. .
It appears that the Staten Island riot was an in
significant affair. Three negro shanties were de
sijoyed and one negro beaten.
Tort Richmond is garrisoned by the 71th Regi
ment.
r- One of the ringleaders of the mob has been cap*
tured in Twenty-first street tonight by the sol

this afternoon and to-night.
The negroes who had found a place of safety
there, were removed to Ricker’s Island, including,

ble that may occur.
All apparently quiet up to a late hour to-night.
.The following is the card of Archbishop Hughes:
To the men of Few York who are now called in many
of the journals rioters :
Men : I am not able, owing to rheumatism in iny
limbs, to visit you, but that is no reason why you
should not pay me a visit, in your whole strength.
Come, then, to morrow (Friday), at 2 o’clock, to my
residence, northwest corner of Madison avenue and
Thirty-sixth street. I shall have a speech prepared
for you. There is abundant space for the-meeting
around my fcouee. I can addresß you from the corner
of the balcony. If I should be unable to stand during
the delivery, you will permit me to address you
sitting. My voice is much stronger than my
limbs. I take upon myself the responsibility
of assuring you that in paying me this visit, or
in retiring from it, you shall not be disturbed by
any exhibition of municipal or military presence.
You who are. Catholics, or as many of you as are,
have a right to visit your Bishop without molesta
tion. t JOHN, Archbishop of New York.
Riot ill Troy, N. Y,
Troy, N. Y., July 15—10.30 P. M.—This morning
some 300 or 400 men, said to be workmen in the
Rensselaer Iron Works foundry, and the Albany
Nail WoTks,%>arcbed through the Btreets proclaim
ing that the. draft should not take place. They
stopped in front of tbe Times office, which they
gutted, destroying all the property therein. The
mob was ~"addreßßed by Father Havermaus, who
advised them to go to their homes, keep the peace,
and obey the laws. The mob then broke away and
vi-ited the colored church and threatened to destroy
it. Father Havermaus again addressed the ©rowd,
imploring them to desist, and through his efforts the:
church was saved. The mob next went to the jail,
and, forcing it open, released all the prisoners. The
steamer Francis Skiddy, having colored waiters
employed, was warned away from the dock, and
quickly slipped down to Albany. TbO/city ia per
tectly quiet to- night. *
ALBANY.
Albany, July i».—The day steWber for New
York has moved out from the dock, owing to the
rumors that she will be set on fire. The city is per
fectly quiet to-night. *
Newark, N* J,
Newark, July 16.—The reports of the fires here
last night are unfouoded. The report probably
arose from the illumination of the chimney of the
zinc works.
Order Restored in Boston*
Boston, July is—lo p. M-—Order is now re
stored here, and quietness prevails this evening.
The citizens generally obeyed the mayor’s procla
mation, and kept within doors, and with the ex
ception of the scenes of riot of last night, the streets
are as quiet as on Sunday, ia Dock square, Hay
market square, and Cooper street, several hundred
congregated at each place, but mostly from ouriosi
ty, and to see the soldiers who were quartered and
patroling there. No hostile demonstrations what
ever were made. The admirable precautions taken
by the authorities, and the imposing display of mili
tary force, with the avowed determination to use it
with the utmost vigor, have quelled whatever of
the mob-spirit was left from last night.
The Indian Expedition*
[From the Bt. Paul Press; 12th.]
Captains Bailley and Merriman, on sick leave,
and Lieut. McAlexander, resigned, all of the 6th
Regiment; have arrived in this city by way of Aber
crombie, on their return home from the lodian ex
pedition under Gen. Sibley, which they left at Lac
Traverse. Their Account of the condition and pros
pects of the expedition iB very discouraging, and in
dicates a literal fulfil ment ot the prophecies which
we based, more than a week ago, on the presumed
effects of the drought and the ravages of prairie fires
over the country on its route.
A train of wagons, under a strong guard, under
Colonel Averill, came with them to Fort Aber
crombie for supplies. The intense heata had ruined
much of the commissary stores, and so seriously
affected the wagon wheels that many of them were
left behind. .Water was very scarce: vegetation
dried up. Many of the men were sick, and a general
dissatisfaction prevailed. Many of the officers
favored the abandonment of the expedition, but
General Sibley insisted on going ahead. This is no
more than we expected.
In ofdinary seasons, the scarcity of water in the
broad, level prairies of the Red River Valley,which
is only found in the streams which traverse that re
gion atrrtde intervals, measured sometimes by a
day’s journey, is excessively exhausting to men and
animals, under the oppressive heats of midsummer.
But the unprecedented drought which has reigned
(not rained) over the whole country, has not only
dried up many of the streams, but has shrivelled and
dried up the grass, and in this condition, the prairie
fires, lit, doubtleßß, by the cunning Indians, have
Bweptthe whole country west and north of Aber
crombie of almost every vestige of vegetation.

A CHARGE MADE IN THE ORDER OP BATTLE IS
Subscribed.
When Garesche was killed Rosecrans did not
seem to observe it. Of the General’s staff Garesche
had been blown away from Mb elbow; Kirby had
been shot; Benton’s horse was smarting with a
wound ; Hubbard’s Bnorted with the sting of a ball
in bis neck; Taylor’s was killed t Porter’s horse and
then himeelf was struck ; poor Richmond was mor
tally hurt; four or five oi his escort and orderlies
were stretched upon the field. No wonder Bond
said to him, “ General, do you think it right to ex
pose yourself so much V And the response! A re
giment was lying down upon the field before him
waiting to be called into action. Shot and shell
were whizzing furiously over them. The chief
dashed up to the line ana addressed them: ** Men
do you wish to know how to be safe? Shoot low!
Give them a blizzard at their sMna ! But do you
wish to know bow to be safeßt of all? Give them a
blizzard, and then charge with cold steel 1 Forward,
now, and show what you are made of l” Bond had
announced Garesche’s death. It seemed to occur to
the General as a half-remembered dream. “ I am
very sorry,” he said ; “we cannot help it.” A re
port that McCook was killed was communicated to
him. He said: “We cannot help it; this battle
roust be won.”
The troops were handled with matchless skilL
Lines upon lines were piled upon each other so com
pactly that even the awful momentum and the fero
city of the rebel /onslaughts did not shake them.
Columns were hurled in Bolid ranks from one side of
the field to the other extreme, as if they were toys:
or were flung into the face of the enemy as if it wire
a game playing. It is no grasp at rhetoric to de
scribe the swift and steady evolutions of our bri
gades as perfect as the movements of a grand review.
Thousands acquired an idea of the art of “ handling
masses,” of which they never had dreamed before.
NOW, LET THE WHOLE LINE CHARGE,
The new change in the order of battle was execu
ted by the General Commanding at ideessant per
sonal hazard. There was not a private soldier in.
the army so much exposed. There was hardly a
point in the front of battle which he had not in
spected, Wood’s line, perhaps, excepted. Some five
or six batteries, posted upon the bluff under his per
sonal direction, now thundered in direful accord.
Solid shot, shell, grape, cannister were crushing
through the brittle timber in destructive tumult. 7 A
“thick canopy of smoke hovered over the field. Clouds
of smoke enveloped the gunners. They seemed like
demons reveling in infernal orgies. With his staff
gathered about him, tep Chief halted briefly upon
the cemetery knoll, watching the play of the batte
ries, and the hot fury of Sam Beatty’s infantry.
Now, without a word, he plunged headlong into the
temptest, his staff' and orderlies following with wild
enthusiasm. The enemy had tipped over the crest
of the last ridge in front, and were'bearing down
fiercely. Spurring up to the very heels of Beatty’s
men, until his horse almost trampled them, he
shouted cheerily, “Now let the whole line charge!
Shootlow ! Besure! Then charge home!”
The troops spring to. their feet and push up the
slope; the forests are riven with the tempest; bayo
nets gleam; lurid flames spout from the long line of
musketry. Yon savage line of gray and steel, which
but a moment since plunged so madly over the hill,
halts l It wavers! Auother tempest from the blue
line in front—they reel—they Btagger. “ There they
go !” shouted the gallant leader ; “ there they go!
Now drive them home!” Away they fly over the
hill, shattered, disordered, broken, struggling to es
cape. Shot and shell pursue the frightened fugitives,
shrieking through the forests, orashiog the flimsy
branches, scattering death snd destruction.

EXCESSES IN THE ARMY.—Earnestly, most
earnestly, do we desire that~aU excesses and out
rages should in this war be avoided. And, as we
said, they have been avoided on the Federal side to
a remarkable extent—to a very remarkable extent,
considering the provocations given by the rebels.
The private property seized and destroyed by the
Federal troops is, to that Beized and destroyed by
the rebels, but as a pennyweight to a pound, while
on the part of the Federal forces, whether in armies,
in regiments, in companies, or in squads, assassina
tions have been unknown. Gen. McClellan, Gen.
Burnside, Gen. Hooker, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Grant,
Gen. Buell, Gen. Rozecrans, Gen. Banks, and scores
of others, have penetrated into the rebel. Confede
racy, some of them very far, yet the South itßelfoan
bearwitncsß, that, wherever they went, war, how
ever .vigorously waged, was tempered with'a strict
observance of human rights, and even with* gentle
mercy and kindness. Men who abuse the Federal
troops for barbarism , and undertake to contrast it
with what they call the forbearance of the rebels,
may think they are patriots', but, if they are, we
would have them take out a patent right for their
patriotism, for they ought by all means to enjoy it
as a monopoly.— Louisville Journal,
Curious Egyptian Relics.— The Museum of
Egyptian Antiquities, recently founded by the Pa
sha, is a commodious house overlooking the Nile.
It has been placed under the curatorship of M. Ma
riette; who first visited Egypt in the service of the
Louvre. The great feature of the collection is the
recent addition of gold ornaments discovered by ac
cident at Gournou (Thebes) by some boys, in ground
unmarked by any tomb; the fine mummies upon
which they were placed passed into the hands of the
Pasha of Bench, who was induced to part with theca
to the Viceroy’s museum. They were unwrapped,
and more than twenty-five pounds weight of gold
ornaments found upon them. The series of neck
laces, with figures of jackals in gold, and the golden
bracelets, enriched by enamel colors, are extraordi
nary works of art, as well as of great intrinsic value;
one of them is very remarkable, having the sacred
hawk for its .central ornament, holding the emblem
of eternal life: its Burfacei is brilliantly colored in
cloisonne enamels. A hatchet of gold, wipi a hunt
ing scene embossed on the blade; a mirror, with a
heavy lotus-shaped handle of gold; and a large va
riety of minor decorations for the person crowd this
unrivalled case of antiquities. Two small models
of funeral-boats, with the rowers, all formed of sil
ver, are even more preciouß in the eyes of the Egyp
tian student from their extreme rarity. The room
is appropriately decorated, after the style of the
tombs At Beni Hassan, and the whole arrangement
honorable to the Viceroy and his curator.
A Sub-Clerical Scapegrace.— Many good sto
ries are told of Dr. Lawson, a Presbyteriaii minis
ter in Scotland, who was so absent-minded that he
was sometimes quite insensible to the world around
him. One of hie eons, who afterward became a
highly esteemed Christian minister, was a very
tricky boy, perhaps mischievous in his tricks. Near
the manse lived an old woman, of crabbed temper
and rather ungodly in her mode of living. She and
the boy had quarreled, and the result was that he
took a quiet opportunity to kill one of her hens.
She went immediately to Dr. Lawson, and'‘charged
his son with the deed. She was believed, and as it
was not denied, punishment was indicted. He was
ordered to abide in the house; and to make the sen
tence more severe his father took him into his study,
and commanded him to sit there with him. The son
was restless, and frequently eyed the door. At last
he saw his father drowned in thought, and quietly
clipped out. He went directly to the old woman’s,
and killed another hen, returning immediately ana
taking his place in the library, his father having
never missed ,him. The woman speedily made her
appearance, and charged the slaughter again upon
him. fDr. Lawson, however, waxed angry—de
clared her to be a false accuser, as theboy had been
closeted with him all the time—adning: “Besides,
this convinces me that you had just as little ground
for your first accusation; I therefore acquit him of
both, and he. may go out now.” The woman went
off in high dudgeon, and the prisoner in high glee.—

Truth and its Developments. —A philospher
should aim solely at truth, and should refuse to esti
mate the practical tendency of his speculations. If
they are true, let them stand ; if they are false, let
Ihem fall. But whether they are agreeable or disa
greeable, consolatory or disheartening, safe or mis
chieviouf, is a question not for philosophers, but for
practibal men. Every new truth which, has ever,
been propounded has for a time caused mischief; it
has produced discomfort, and often unhappiness,
sometimes by disturbing Boeial or religious arrange
ments, and Hometimes'merely by the disruption of
old and cherished associations of thought.— Ruckle.
The True Physician. —To the true physician
there is an inexpressible sanctity in the sick cham
ber. At its threshold.the mere human passions quit
their hold on his heart. Love there would be profa

but aside. He must enter that room a^calm-intelli
gence. He is disabled for his nnssion>if--:he'" suffer
aught to obscure the keen, quiet glance of his science*.

The Power op Animals and Plants.— ln ani-‘
mals there is more variety of motion, but in plants
there is more real power. A horse is certainly far
stronger than a man,yet a small vine can not only
support, but can raiser a column of fluid five times
higher man a horse can.: Indeed, the power which
a plant exercises of holding a leaf erect during an
entire day, without pause and without fatigue, is
an effort of astonishing vigor, and is rone of many
proofs that a principle of compensation is ..at work,
so that the'same energy which in the animal world
is weakened by being directed to many objects, iB ia
the vegetable world strengthened by being conoro*
trated on a lew.— Buttle.
