The Fourth Djiy—Rioting Abated—General Kilpatrick arrived—Further Details of the uiitbrenk. [From the Herald of yesterday.! The fourth night Bince the beginning of the trou ble closed in upon the firetday on which the city whs occupied by.a military force sufficiently nume roue to cope with the populace at. all points; yet there was, last evening, little or no conndenoe that the spirit of the opposition was broken, or that the people were overawed. The, inhabitants, of* the "metropolis prepared for another night of bloodshed, arson and plunderings. The really Berious work of the afternoon on’the east Bide of the city, and. the current rumors of terrible’ fighting,lending in the triumph of the multitude, were sufficient to raise the excitement to the highest point, perhaps, that It bae yet reached ; and the effect on the peaceable inhabitants of the distriot occupied by the military, the-police and the crowds was most painful. One of the strangest of the phenomena brought about by the disturbances was particularly notice able. .< This city, which ordinarily wears itß bright est Aspect early on the blackest nights, was, last evebing, utterly changed in its appearance: the' stores and - dwellings-which had remained "open ; duiing-the day were, with few exceptions, closed at nightfall; and to the rain storm which prevailed, the unusual.darkness of the night, and the fore-' bodings of the majority of the inhabitants in regard to the apprehended troubles is owing the gloomi ness of the time, which has had no parallel. •The more cheerfully inclined of. the people, rented under the assurance that they would be protected if they could not protect themselres; the belligerent armed themselves, and- were ready for the>worst; while the masses prepared to follow up their opera tions of the day which the considered successes, and the thieves and plunderers plotted for themselves and their kind. ■ Comparatively few of the readers of the .Herald can ever appreciate to their full extent the terrors Which prevailed during the afternoon, the evening, and the night at the scene of the latest troubls, from Fourteenth' to Thirty-fourth Streets,'between the Third avenue and the North river. The crowds had been gathering, troops had been patrolling there during the day; there had been Bring, rushing of mobß, confusion, and bloodshed, and the 7th Regi ment was ordered there to put down the demonstra tions. The men of the 7th had'taken possession of the streets, and had driven the crowd at the point of the bayonet. The infuriated men, reorganizing, were.determined to hold their-ground; they ex pected reinforcements from the various headquarters throughout the city, whose arrival they awaited to begin the battle. . The appearance of this district just asnight set in was intensely interesting. The rendezvous of the 7i.li was in a large building in Thirty-third street. The men crowded the numerous windows on every floor, and crowded the front, ready at a moment’s warding to march upon the rioters, while bodies of the troops were posted on Second and Thiid.ave-. nues. On both these thoroughfares the crowds of men were gathered at each corner, scowling'and cursing, courting a collision, and yet fearing it; and the main bodv of the assemblage, far above and be low that point, retreating and reappearing at every manoeuvre of the troops, which possibly might re sult in a volley from their guns. The frequent dis charges of firearms, sometimes of a number of pieces together, whioh were understood to be fired on the crowd, though no oDenot in the immediate vicinity of the reports knew whence they came, added to the excitement. During the night the crowddecreased or increased, according to the situation of affairs. At five o’clock, - a detachment of two companies of regulars, under Captain Putnam, Twelfth United States Infantry, were sent up to the support of a party of dismounted cavalry, under Colonel Mott, who had been routed by the crowd in Twenty-second street, near Third avenue. Several shots were fired by the crowd,'killing a sergeant. A section of a bat tery from the 20th Independent accompanied the reinforcements. When the party arrived at G-ramercyparkno signs of any disturbance could be seen, and the detachment proceeded down Twenty-second street towards Second avenue: but hardlyhad they crossed Third avenue when they, saw .the. body of asergeantof Davis’ cavalry lying on the sidewalk. The soldiers took up the body and placed it in a carriage for con veyance to the central police office. This sergeant, it appears, had been shot from the top of the houses on the south aide of the street while, marching to*, wards Third avenue, and though not killed at once, waß leftto die in the street by the people.’ The soldiers became exasperated at this sight, and - vowed deep vengeance on. the- perpetrators of the act. But the crowd, animated by the feeling which desperation alone -can infuse; no sooner perceived the Boldierß than they commenced firing upon them from eveiy available point. The battery unlimbered and placed their pieces imposition, which had the effect of driving away a number of ladies and children who crowded the stoops and windows. Tfte crowd skedaddled into their houses, and ran in double-quick up Second avenue to the corner of Thirty-first street, where the most foolhardy 'induoed 'their weaker minded fellows to make' a stand. Carbiaea, rifles, even the pri mitive sling, were brought forth ,by the people; and as their number.had been swelled; by recruits from Fiist avenue, avenue A, and 'from 1 the “Rooks” to several hundreds, a lively time was expected. A number ofpersons, dresseain the uniforms of,volun teers, probably taken at the.sacking of Captain Ma ntels office, were among the people, and took a leading part in the disposition of the “rebel” force, who took position in the windows, hallways, and under the stoops of houses. ; . Captain Putnam gave orders to the artillery, who were under command of Lieutenant B. F. Eyere, to disperse the crowd and search, the houses. The in fantry at once commenced a destructive fire on the of whom had retreated to the housetops, and thence sent down a shower of bullets, brickbats, paving'stones, and other missiles, in cluding even artioles of household furniture. UNDERCLOTHING, *• The fire of the regulars had a most fatal effect on the crowd, and almost every volley sent down a man, who, on coming in contact with the sidewalk, left parts of Mb brains and large;pools of blood be hind. Not less than ten of these men came thus down like a piece of lead. The searching party entered the houses, and after along chase up rickety stairs, and under beds, in clOßets, chimneys, Ac., found twenty-four men, who were seized and turned over to the infantry. ; During this operation one of the soldicrß was struck on the shoulder with a heavy ice-pick. His assailant was at odcc pinned to the ground with the bayonet of a soldier, . . During the night a detachment from the 7th, con sisting cf two companies, under the respective commands of Oaptain Clark and Lieutenant Mur ray, marched through the Second avenue from Four teenth street up to Twenty-eighth street. On the •route the people fired on the soldiers from windows, doors, and alleyways. The BOldiera re turned the fire. None of the 7th were injured. One of its members had a ball cut the back part of his uniform. *The firing was of a straggling character. The citizens were; concealed. In the course of the march—taking both sides—perhaps some three hun dred shots were fired. It is thought that many of . the oitizens were wounded. -Two are known to be killed, and three to be injured. There 1b : now no organized mob on the streets. But few persons are on Second avenue. - Military patrols are constantly moving about. The citizen police are very numerous and active on Third ave nue. Alarmß are constantly occurring, but nothing of a really serious nature has transpired for the last hour or two. . At one o’clock the garrison of the arsenal wit nessed a sad and novel sight. Winding slowly along through Thirty-fourth street into Seventh avenue, headed by a strong police force, came the little colored orphans, whose asylum had been burned down bn Monday night. The boys, from two and threAto fifteen years of age, followed by little girls of the same ages, to the number of about two hundred each, trotted along and were .halted in front of the arsenal. Then came a large number of men aDd women, several having babies in their arms, who had been forced to seek refuge in the ad jacent station-houses from the fury of the people. They represented all shades of color from chrome yellow to ebony black. Most of them carried small bundles of clothing and light articles of furniture, all they had been able to save from, the wreck of their property. One: stout old woman carried in one hand a clay pipe and in the other a paper of smoking tobacco. The negroeß who had sought Bafety under the guns of the arsenal' were then taken out and ordered to join their friends outside. The crazy negro was placed on a stretcher, and four colored men hoisted him upon their shoul ders. The'procession was then reformed, and, headed by the police, marched back again down Thirty-filth Btreet to the North river. A strong de tachment of Hawkins’-Zouaves guarded the flanks of the procession, while a company of the 10th New York Volunteers and a squad or police closed up the rear. The colored woman who had been recently confined was allowed to remain in the arsenal, where mother and child are attended by Dr. Gilbert, and doing as well as can be expected under the circum stances. Colonel William Meyer had command of the escort, and on'arriving at the pier, where a nu merous crowd had followed them, he placed his men with fixed bayonets, facing the people to keep them in check, and the contrabands were all safely em barked and conveyed to Kilter’s Island. [From ihe Tribune of 17th.j Two instances occurring this week, show what the courage of a single man may do. The mob threatened and approached a house. One man, not its owner, nor his friend, Btooil on the steps as the crowd came on. ; The leaders rushed forward. Said this hero : “ You shall enter this house only over my dead body.” They stopped,hesitated, swore and retreated, leaving the house unharmed. One brave heart protected it. A negro was pursued on Tuesday by a howling mob of thirty or forty, bent on killing him; of course, for no reason except that he was a negro. Hundreds of cowards saw it, and stirred not; lifted not voiee or hand to defend him. But there was one man hot a soward. He ran forward, threw hia arm about the negro, faced the mob, drew his re volver, and announced: “The first man who ap proaches, dies.” And he saved him. - Citizens who have failed to defy this mob, do not these noble actions humiliate and reproach you 1 When another such hour, comes to you, recollect that “ Desperate courage makes one a majority,” : A white gentleman (the son of a missionary), born in the Bast Indies, but educated in this coun try, said, when he saw the rioters yesterday, “ I am proud of the heathen.” . An Irishwoman informed her mistress yesterday that she “need not.expect the over, for the rioters had the promise of help from the city of Bal timore, if they would only hold out a little longer.” Near Sixteenth street, a’ robber ori&horseback rode up to a house oceupied by a gentleman known for bis kindness to the sick and.wounded soldiers. "When the door was opened, he. found a young lady in the house, and demanded money. She saidher father was hot at home, and'She had no money. “But you can get it,” said the thief, “ and I will give you just ten minutes’ time to get it.” She un looked her father’s safe, and got him $4O. « That will do for the present,” said the thief, “but I shall call again.” ‘ In the evening a white Woman, partially intoxi cated, with dishevelled hair, loose-dress, and the swagger of one of the “b’hoyß,” appeared at the corner of Leonard street and west Broadway, and attempted to address a throng of colored-women who had gathered opposite their houses. “lam a Copperhead,” she exclaimed, .with an oath, “ and I can fight, too, by —-; who’ll take me up!” No one was desirouß of obliging her, and some white men took her away. WHAT GEN.BROWNTHINKB OP PEACE MEASURES. About 0 o’clock, Senator Bradley and a council man of the Eighteenth ward waited on G-ea. Brown, when the following conversation occurred : Councilman. General, I come as a representative of the Eighteenth ward to know if you will with draw ycur troop from the ward if we guarantee peace and order? 'Gen, Brown. What would your answer be if the rebels in the South were to make a similar propo sition! 11 Councilman. Wo are not rebelß. ,Gen. Drown. Yes, you are; you are violating law and older. I will not withdraw a man till your riotous conduct ceases. ; Councilman; There is no riot till your troops ap pear and are the aggressors. Gen, Brown. That I emphatically deny. But I 'SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1863. THE RIOT IS HEW YORK. THE CITY BY NIOHT. THE DISTURBED DISTRIOT. THIS TWENTY-PTBST -WARD. EXODUS OP THE CONTRABANDS. INSTANCES OP COURAGE. INCIDENTS. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1863. will not disouss the question any more. I decline acceding to your request. Councilman, Then you must assume the responsi bility, Gen, Brown, That is what I am sent here to do. A GENERAL COINCIDENCE. While General Brown was answering the Coun cilman yesterday, two applications were made to Major General Sandford by membera of the Peace three‘cheers for little Mac-Oopperhead-Fernando- Wood party, at the State Arsenal, corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-fifth street. The first was by Michael Connolly, Esq., police justice at the Tombs. He demanded that Geneial Sandford withdraw his troops, so that the effusion of the blood of innocent and law-abiding oitlzens might be stopped, and he would be responsible, for immediate quiet. He promised that as soon as the troops were with drawn be would call the people together and make a speech* to them', when, his word for it, there would be do more trouble. General Sandford told him that he had better make Mb speech'first, and see what'his influence was worth; and that then the question of withdrawing the troops could be submitted to' the proper au thority. . Subsequently, John H. Megunn, Ebq., city judge, called' upon General Sandford and urged upon him the immediate necesaity'of withdrawing his troops, as their presence was offensive to the* peace:loving, and orderly citizens of New York. .He was.sure that Governor Seymour would not hesitate to grant this demand if he waß acquainted; with the, facta o_f ; the case. General Sandford informed him that he bad no doubt the presence of the troops was -veryj offensive to the-disorderly, citizen-murdering and: property-robbing, portion of the community; The very learned judge then retired. A MOB, JACKAL. . _ - The Herald pointß game for the Jeff Davis ruffians! who have been devastating our city as follows: , ' “ There 1b hut one’ quarter where theße unfortu nates (the blacks) live, which has remained un harmed— SulUvau ; street, in the Eighth i. ward; * *:*.■*■■ There, is a United States storehouse -in Worth street where there are upward of . thousand muskets.” There is a good deal more of this sort, hut the above must suffice for a sample. “ABB Yi)U UNION I”—THE GARROTER’s -QUESTION. A French gentleman, whose name and address we suppress for obvious reasons, informs us that he was garroted on his way home, at. about 10 o’clock w on Wednesday evening, on Third avenue, near Thirty eighth street, by several persons. One of them throttled him from behind,;While another placed a carbine to his breast, and a third a pistol to his ear. One asked : “ Are you for the Union!” He replied, “Yes, certainly, lam for the Union.’’ The man said nothing more, but rifled his pockets. The people at-the windows cried “shame! shame!” After a little rough handling they left him. Then he was told from the windows that lie must not say he' was for the Union, but that he was a “ Demo cratic Catholic.” After a few minutes he was fired, at, but was not hit, and managed to get away. V -He‘ states that a number of his acquaintances, whose' names be gives iis, have been robbed in the same way, and some have been released on giving the an swer recommended to him. - AN OFFICER DISMISSED. General Brown! issued the following order yestciv day.afternoon. It concerns a captain of the Buffalo 65th Regiment, who is accused of having deserted his command; - ' 0 New York, July 16,1863, - Second Lieutenant H. P. Pike, Ist Regiment United States Artilley, will take command of. Com pany F, 65th Regiment New York Militia, and Captain John Irlbacker is hereby deposed from his command for disgracefully deserting his company in a time of peril, when his services were urgently demanded. Capt. Irlbacker will report in person to these headquarters. By command of Brevet Brigadier General Harvey Brown. ■; : GEN. SILFATmdR. } 8 ARRiVAt. : \ Gen. Kilpatrick arrived in town laßfc evening, and has offered bia services to Geh. Wool, at the St. Nicholas. Ary cavalry officers or soldiers who may be in town, that were formerly conuectcd with his division, may report at once at the St. Nicholas, ■where they will be assigned to duty. It is not intended by; this to depend entirely upon the old soldiers,-blit any law-abiding citizens of New York who may wish to aid in putting down the rifling will be gladly welcomed, and will have the advantage of being led by one of our most dash ing generals. Those possessing horses are very much needed. Young men accustomed to the saddle and owning horses (ami those who have none will be supplied),: are requested to report themselves for cavalry ser vice, to suppress the riot now raging in ths city, at j .Madison square during to-day, when they will be 1 furnished with arms and assigned to duty. A HOiAX. CFrom the Times of 17th. ] A placard was posted about town yesterday after noon purporting to be an invitation from Archbishop Hughes “to the men of New York.who are now. called in many of the papers rioters,” to'pay him a visit at his residence at 2 o’clock this afternoon, when he would make them a speech. It closed by a promise that “ they should not be disturbed by any exhibition of municipal or military presence,” and was signed, as the Archbiahep never signs, John -Hughes, Archbishopiof New York.” ; The whole thing is a hoax, but it may lead to mis chief; It is.not at all unlikely.that it may collect a crowd in the neighborhood of the Archbishop’s^esi-* dence, and the reckless knaves who got it up - may avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforde’d to' foment disturbance of some kind or other.-We tfoke’ it for granted that the municipal or military autho rities, or both, will take such‘precaution-as'the case requires. „ HOW. THE MOB WAS ORGANIZED. The Commercial Advertiser's report says that Ed ward MeDervolt, one of the rioters who was killed, according to a statement of a fjiend of the deceased, wasinducedto join the rioters by prominent politicians,. tcho told him .that hewould be sustained , that his wages, as well as those of ail tke.rioters] would be paid, and that the dr aft.would eventually be stopped. Thfot those*polir tjicians organized the resistance , and promiscdlo pay the riotef sfor all losses they might sustain, and that noio they skulked dnd werenot to be found. He stated further, that the whole of the facts would soon be brought to light. THE MOB IK SYMPATHY WITH THE REBELS. An “ Eye-witness” writes as folio ws ftj the Tribune i I totow that there has thus far been no" surer pass ports through these mobs than the expressiorfvof sympathy with the rebels and cheers for Jeff Davis; I confeeß that, desperate and unscrupulous .as J knew the Copperheads to be, I was surprised at this discovery. But when I myself heard the rioters give three cheers for Jeff Davis, and when I heard from their own lips their wishes for his .success,l could doubt no longer. On Monday I was present at the sack and firing of the houses inXsxingtoa avenue, going through the whole mob from its extreme verge to the very front steps of these houses. There I saw a man, known to many persons as a rebel sympathizer, hand and "glove with the rioters, encouraging them, in consultation with the ringleaders, and welcomed by them wherever he went. There I heard wishes expressel for the Buocess of the rebellion, and the destruction of "thenaygurs.” There, a man of decent exterior and apparent intelligence exclaimed, as he saw the houses burning: “This is the most glorious sight I -have ever seen ; this will pay Jeff Davis for the loss of Vicksburg.” On Tuesday evening I heard amoig the rioters, in the upper part of Third avenue, cheerß for Jeff Davis ; but it was dark, and I could not see the individuals who proposed or who gave them. But early on Wednesday afternoon I was in the Second avenue as a detachment of the 7fch Re-, giment marched up to disperse ;the mob which had been maltreating the negroes near Twenty-seventh street,*- The rioters vanished from-before the de tachment, but closed in behind it, and began to hoot, and then to stone, and finally to fire upon it. ’One of these very rioters who made this attack, when , the detachment had moved about a square off, called out, “Three cheers ; for Jeff Davis.” The cheerß were though nofcitery loudly, for the bayonets were too near, I stood not ten feet from the man -who proposed the cheers, and face to face with him. In ten minutes'afterwards I saw the crowd which he then led stealing the Seventh’s men. Merely to deprive the World, andfche rebel sympa thizers for whom and to whom it speaks, of the bene fit of an objection, which it may make, that my evi dence is to be taken with allowance as that of an Abolitionist or I say that I ain one of those who have constantly opposed your course upon the negro question, and denied both the right and the policy of the Emancipation- Proclamation; and that, though I now heartily support the Presi dent, I did not support Abraham Lincoln as a*can didate for the Presidency. You, I believe, can tes tify to the truth of this statement, and also to the trustworthiness of any other that I may make, I would sign my name, but it is in the Directory; and I do not wish my house to be fired by Governor Sey mour’s (and Jeff Davis’s) “friends” on the day when this is published.

Mayor’s Office, ’ ' Oity Hall, Brooklyn, July 15, 1863. To lhe .Citizens of Brooklyn: , . I congratulate you upon the fact that our city, thus far, has been free from the riotous proceedings which have disturbed the peace of New York, and desire to assure you that provision -has.heen made for an aimed force to be in readiness at‘a moment’s notice, sufficiently powerful to check an£ suppress at once,all attempts at riotous demonstrations among: us. . But the incendiary fire attheAtlanticdocks last evening admonishes us that there is„ danger, to guard against which especial; mf aeures should at once be adopted. To secure, us against the acta of the in cendiary, the services of a concentrated armedfoice will not suffice, and a thorough watch and guard throughout the city is necessary. I therefore recom mend to the citizens that they immediately organize in the several wardß a strong force, to act during the present disturbed state of the public mind, as a night-watch and patrol. Such a voluntary force, composed of the citizens in each ward, would, in my opinion, suffice effectually to; restrain all-at tempts at incendiarism, and also to maintain peace and good order throughout the city. I can assure my fellow-citizens that if they determine to act ion these suggestions, they may command my hearty and earnest co-operation. Martin ICalefleisoh, Mayor. OF THE GOYEKNOR OX NEW JERSEY.

United States. • This letter is signed by me as .Commander-in-chief , of the Confederate laud and naval forces. You will perceive from t£e terms of the letter that it is so worded as to avoid any political difficul ties in ita reeeption. Intended exclusively as one of those communications between belligerents which public Tawrecognizes as necessary and proper be tween hostile forces, care has been taken to give no pretext for refusing to receive it on the ground that it would involve, a tacit recognition of the indepen dence of the Confederacy. , -Your mißßioh is simply one of humanity, and has no political aspect.. If objection’, is made to reoeiving your letter, on the groundtjmt it ie. not addressed to Abraham Lin coln, 'M President, instead of Commander-ih-ohief, &c., then you will present the duplicate letter, which is addfesse'd'to him as President, and signed by me ..as President! To this latter objection may be made, on the ground that Tam not recognized to be Presi dent of the Confederacy. In this event, you will •decline any further attempt to confer on the subject of your-nitipfeion, as such conference is admissible ODly on the footing of perfect equality. •<- w My receqt interviews with you have put you so fully in. possession, of my views, that it is scarcely necessary to give you any detailed instructions, even were I, this moment, well enough to attempt it. :My whole purpose is; in one word, to place this war on. the footing of such as are waged by civilized people, in modern times, and to diveßt it of the Bavage'cftafacter which has been impressed on it by our enemies, in spite of all our efforts and protests. War is full enough of unavoidable horrors, under all its aspects, to justify, and even to demand, of any . Christian, .rulers who. may be unhappily engaged in carrying it on, to seek to restrict its" calamities, and to divest it of all unnecessary severities. You will endeavor to establish the cartel for the exchange of prisoners on such a basis as to avoid the constant difficulties and complaints which arise, and to pre vent, for the future, what we deem the unfair con duct of i'our enemies in evading the delivery of prisoners who fall into their hands; in.retarding it : ■by.sendiDg them on circuitous routes, and by detain ing them, sometimes for months, in camps and in prisons, and in persisting in taking captives non combatants, .Your attention is also called to the unheard-of conduct of Federal officers, in driving fiom their homes entire communities of women and ohildren, as well as of men, whom they find in districts occu piediby.tlieir troops,' for no other .reason, than be cause these unfortunates are faithful to the allegi 'anee'duc to their States, and refuse to take an oath of fidelity to their enemies. . ' . The putting to death of unarmed prisoners has been a ground of just complaint in more than one instance, and the recent executions of officers of our army in Kentucky, for the sole cause that they were , in recruiting service in a State which is claimed as still one of the United States, but is also claimed by us as one of the Confederate States, must by retaliation; if not unconditionally abandoned, because it would justify the like execu- Hoh in every other State of the Confederacy, and >tbV practice is barbarous, uselessly cruel, and can 'only lead to the slaughter of prisoners on both sides {-r a mult too horrible to contemplate without i making every effort to avoid it. - l On these and all kindred subjects you will con sider your authority full and ample to make such i arrangements as will temper the present cruel oha racter of the contest, and full confidence is placed in your judgment,-patriotism, and discretion, that Jvhile carrying out the objects of your mission, you will take care that the equal rights of the Oonfede iacV bS filVvaVs bfeServeu. | Yery respectfully, JEFFERSON DAVIS, ,1 . .. . Richmond, Bth July, 1863. , His Excellency Jefferson Davis: - Sir: Under the authority andinstructions of your ' letter to me of the 2d instant, I proceeded on the : mission therein assigned, without: delay. The steamer Torpedo; commanded by Lieutenant Hun ter Davidson, of the navy, was put in readiness as soon as possible, by order of the Seoretary of the Navy, and tendered for the service. At noon, on the 3a; she started down James river, hoisting and bearing a flag.of truce after passing City Point. Tbenext day (the 4tb), at about one o’clock P. M., when within a few milesof Newport News, we were met byl ayemall boat of the enemy, carrying two guns, which afso raised a white flag before approach ing us. ,The officer in command informed Lieu tenant Davidson.that he-had orders from Admiral Lee, on board the ‘United States flag-ship Minne • sota, lying below, and then in view, not to allow >any boat or vessel to pass the point near which he .was stationed without his permission. By this offlcerT sent to Admiral Lee a note stating my ob- ; jects and wishes, a copy of which ishereto annexed, i marked A. ... . ... ’ I aIEO sent to the Admiral, to be forwarded, aho 'therinthe same language, addressed to the officer in .command of the -United States foroea at Fort Mon roe.' The gunboat proceeded irmhediately to the T • Minnesota, with.these despatches! while'the Torpe :do remained at' anchor. Between. 3 and 4 o’clock ’ P. M., another boat came up to us, bearing the ad , mixal’a answer, which.is hereunto annexed, marked we remained at or about this point in the river '•until'-the 6th inst.j when, having heard nothing further from the Admiral at 12 o’clock M., on that day,. I directed Lieutenant,Davidson agaiu to speak . the gunboat.on; guard, and to hand to the officer in command another note to this 1 admirals This was done** .A copy of the note is' appended,'marked C. At half-past 2 o’clock, P. M., two boats approached us from below, one bearing an answer from the Ad miral to my note to him of the 4th. This answer is annexed, marked D. The other boat bore the an swer of Lieut, Col. W. H. Ludlow to my note of the 4th, addressed to the officer in command at Fort Monroe. A. copy of this Is annexed, marked E, Lieut. Col. Ludlowaisocameup in person in the boat that brought his answer to me, and conferred with Col. Ould, bn board the Torpedo, upon some matters he desired to see him. about in connection with the exchange of prisoners. From the papers appended, embracing the correspondence referred to, it will be seen that the mission failed from the re fusal of the enemy to receive or entertain it, hold ing the proposition for such a conference “inadmis sible.” . % The influences and views that led to this determi nation, alter so long a consideration of the subject, must be left to conjecture. The reason assigned for the refusal of the United-States Secretary of War, to-wit: that “ the customary agents and channels” 'are; considered adequate for “’all needful' military “communications and conferences,” to one ac quainted with the facts, seems not only unsatisfac tory, but very singular and unaccountable; for it ib known to him that these very agents, to. .whom he evidently alludes, heretofore agreed upon fin a former conference in reference to the exchange ■of prisoners, (one of the subjects embraced in your Tetter to me,) are now, and have been for some time, distinctly at issue on several important points. The ; existing cartel, owing to these disagreements, is vir tually suspended, so far as the exchange of officers on either side is concerned.' Notices of retaliation -have been given on both sides. ' The effort, therefore, for the very many and cogent reasons set forth in your letter of instructions to to see if these differences could not be removed, ? ana if a clearer understanding between the parties as to the general conduct of the war could not be i arrived at before this extreme measure should be re sorted to by either party, was no less in accordance < with the dictates of humanity than in strict ’ con formity with , the usages of belligerents in modern 'times. Deeply impressed as I was with these views ■ and feelings, in undertaking the mission, and asking i the conference, I can but express my profound re gret at the result of-the effort made to obtain it; t and I can but entertain the belief, that if the con ference sought had been granted, mutual good could have been effected by it; and if this war, so unna tural, so unjust, bo unchristian, and so inconsistent ; with every fundamental principle of American con stitutional liberty, “must: needs” continue to be • waged againßt us, that at least , some of its severer horrors, which now so eminently threaten, might have been avoided.

Growls of a Rebel Journal.—The Richmond Examiner of the 13th instant has a curious article against Davis, founded upon the failure of this .scheme. It says: “ Mr. President‘Davis’ proclamations and pro nunciamientos. his horrible threatenings and gloomy appeals, have been so often repeated that they are the sneerof the world. But never have they result ed in one solitary performance. He is very obsti nate, very bitter, when he gets into a ! quarrel with some Southern officer over whom the law gives him temporary control. He is very firm indeed in main taining a minion or a measure against the smother ed indignation of a people who are compelled by their present unfortunate situation tosupport silent ly a great deal: from- their officials. But when hie duty brings him 'into contact with the enemy hois gentle as the suoking dove. * * “Mr. Stephens was seat to Washington with a letter of credence to Lincoln, and another of instructions to himself from President Davis. A good deal was said: in this last letter about titles, &c., which looks pitiful enough; and the restrela tingto the business on hand, amounts to this: that if the Federal Government will only vouchsafe a civil word.or so, will say, for instance, that it would like to mitigate the horrors of war, the Confederate Government would be happy to indulge in bound less compassion for the two Yankees aforesaid. As to the two murdered Confederate officers in Ken tucky, who feels compassion for them ? “The Vice President went on his errahd as far as Hampton Roads: was stopped by the enemy’s ad miral there, to whom he signified his deaire to open communication with the Federal Government: kept two day* in his steamtugon the water: ana then dismißßed with a flea in his ear. “Now, who will deny that the Confederacy makeß a sorrowful figure in this matter ?” r THE DEFEAT OF LEE. The Richmond papers conceal their great distress under a boia front. The Whig of the 9th says: “ The intelligence from Gen. Lee fallß short of the promise of the despatches published yesterday, and will prove a grievous disappointment to the high wrought hopes of the public. Superadded to the calamity at Vicksburg, it caßts a sombre shadow over our affairs; but we must, constantly bear in mind that it is in adversity that true greatness is re vealed in itß nobleßt attributes; and we mußt resolve that, come what may,vthe cause shall never go down, nor laok courageous hearts or stout* arms enough to bear it on to a glorious triumph.” The Dispatch, in alluding to the fate of Lee’s army, says: The telegraphs which have undertaken to give us* thejmerationrof Lee’s army have been so iaconsia tenffthat we are not yetjjrepared to make a reliable? lVe expect further hews before going to we suppose will .be more definite and: accurate, as time enough has. now elapsed to allow ascertained truth to take the place of first reports. Some of the wounded participants in the Gettysburg battles have arrived here; but their observations were confined to their own part of the field, and they add but little to our information; They represent the fighting to have been very severe and sanguinary, but that we steadily drove the enemy for about five miles beyond Gettysburg, where we stormed some fortified eminences, but were unable to hold them. General. Lee determined to fall back to Hagers town, where, we understand, he had accumulated stores, ammunition; &o. The enemy, finding he had marched,. followed the next morning. This is, we believe, the simple truth of his “rout” aha “flight,” and the vigorous “pursuit” of the victo rious Federate., Our best information represents General Lee as perfectly secure at Hagerstown, with his gallant army around him, and ready to strike out as occasion Invites. We presume the ne cessity of taking cafe of the numerous prisoners he had captured, and getting them safely into Virginia, had something to do with bia march to Hagerßtown. Lincoln had recently issued an order forbidding his captured soldiers from giving their parole, and hence they refused to be dismissed in that way. We hope they will be allowed the»full benefit of the march to Richmond. , As to the casualties in Lee’s army, we are with out further positive;information, and we forbear to publißh mere reports in a matter of such tenderness. THE FALL OF VICKSBURG. The Richmond Whig of the 9th has aeverat articles on the fall of Vicksburg, from which we make a few extracts: What is most to be feared as the immediate result of the fall of Vicksburg is the conversion of the great army under Grant from a stationary into a moving force. From its organization, almost, it has been confined to the work of taking that city. It is now free to operate elsewhere. This is the evil against whioh the Government is now called to make the most energetic preparation. It is not diffi cult to imagine in what direction Grant will move;' nor to estimate the effect of so powerful an army coming upon the field, with no corresponding acces sion on our side. This is the danger that presents the most serious-grounds for alarm, it would be blindness not to see it, and imbecility not to put forth the most strenuous exertions to guard against it. We can only pray that those to whom the man agement of affairs is entrusted may be equal to the crisis. The Whig says that the following official despatch was received at the War Department onTuesday night: Jackson, July 7, Hoii.J.A. Seddon, Secretary of War:. Vicksburg capitulated on the 4th inst. The garrison was paroled, and are to bs returned to our lines, the officers retaining their side-arms and personal baggage. Thiß intelligence was brought by an officer who left the place on Sunday, the sth. ... . J. E. JOHNSTON, General. [From the Sentinel, July 10.] Jackson, July 7.— yickßburg has fallen. * It was surrendered on the morning of the 4th, the men be ing in. a starving condition, and completely worn out with excessive fatigue. The terms of capitula tion were that the officers should .be allowed their side-arms, horses, and all their private property. They and the men were paroled, and immediately allowed to march out with all their colors. Immediately after the surrender General Grant sent a boat-load of supplies to the famished garri son. Some of the officers have arrived here. GRANT MARCHING ON JACKSON. ' Jackson, July B.— Col. Montgomery, aid to Gen. Pemberton, with 200 mounted men, arrived here 1 to day.-'' • ' Gen. Grant sent ten thousand men-back, and about the "'same number to attack Gen. Price. Grant’s force was near one hundred thousand. He commands in person the forces which are marching on Jackson. "Jackson, July ;B.—Everything here ib in the wildest state of excitement. . Citizens are fiying in every direction, and the streets are filled with stook, negroes, etc. Families are leaving in ox-carts and every other species of conveyance.; There was a terrible storm here last eight, with very heavy rains. Citizens living beyond Clinton report that the enemy are burning every dwelling they pass. A fight is hourly expected here. [From the Dispatch, July 11.1 , Jackson, July 9—4 P. M.—The enemy arc atill advancing slowly, shelling our cavalry. They are now within four miles of our works. There" will probably be.no engagement before morning. - Jackbon, July 9— 9 A. M.—A regular artillery - duel has been goingon for the past hour, three miles off. The Yankees are moving up slowly and steadi ly. Warm work is looked for at daylight. Jackson. July 10,8.30 A. M.— The attack has be gun. Our batteries opened on them finely. The enemy is evidently in heavy force. : Jackson, July 10.— Heavy infantry and artillery skirmishing is going on. The enemy is shelling the city, and has killed several soldiers and citizens. No general engagement has taken, pi ace yet. Our troops are in excellent spirits—every man at his post. Jackson, July 10.—The heavy skirmishing con tinues on the Clinton road. The enemy ia slowly working, around our left. The attack may yet be come -general before morning, though their troops are still pressing forward. But few men have been lost on our side yet. . The enemy must be suffering for water, as ail the cisterns and ponds have been destroyed.. The ther mometer indicates 92 degrees. Jackson, July 11—il P. M,—The enemy are still concentrating on our right to reach Pearl river. ; Our forces have just driven them back in the centre, and burned the houses occupied by their sharp shooters. Jackson, July 12. —The enemy opened fire at Bix o’clock this morning from his batteries on our left, and at BA. M. rained shell upon the city. The enemy made a charge, and were repulsed, and are now moving around our right. Scouts report that Burnside is crossing at Birdsong’s Ferry with two divisions. Col. Withers, an old citizen, was killed by a shell. ' - [From the Sentinel, July 10.] . BATTLE NEAR LAKE PROVIDENCE. Natchez, July 6.—The Cowrier says that a letter from a member of the Conner Battery, dated last week, near Lake Providence, La., reports that a battle had just occurred, in winch the enemy were severely punished, with-the loss of 1,500 prisoners. The Conner Battery came out of the fight without loss. •• [From the Whig, July 9.] • • SUCCESSES OF GENERALS LORING AND TAYLOR. Jackson, July 7.— General Loring attacked Os terhaus yesterday near Edward’s DdpOt, and after thi ee hours hard fighting, drove him across the river. Our loss is reported heavy. The enemy’s lobb not known. An officer from the vicinity of Port . Hud son says Dick Taylor crossed the Mississippi river, under cover of our guns, last Saturday. He and Gordon attacked Banks and routed him with heavy loss. They are marching to reinforce Johnston. Nothing further in regard to the fall of Vicksburg. THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON DISAS . TERS ACKNOWLEDGED. ■ The Richmond Enquirer of the 14th, in anjeditorial says: . ■ -A “ The fall of Vicksburg, theretreat of Bragg, the repulse of Lee, and the advance on Charleston, are all serious the most serious that have at tended our arms since the commencement of the war.” The defeat of Johnston by Sherman had not been heard from at that time. The attack on Charleston, it will be observed, is regarded as a disaster in ad vance. ~No one in Charleston or Richmond, since the previous attack, has had any hope or thought of being able to hold Charleston against the monitors, bo soon as they were- in the hands of a vigorous admiral. Hence the mere attack is regarded as a disaster to rfebeldom. Charleston, July 10.—The Attack here has com menced. There are four iron-clads off the-bar, one at theniouth of Stono river, and one in that river. There are also forty-three other vessels off the har bor.': There was heavy firing from 6 o’clock A. M. for two hours;, our-Morris Island batteries replying. Troops are landing at Grimball’s. An iron-clad and a gunboat have gone up Stono river to attack Fort Pemberton. Charleston* July li.—The enemy attacked in 'force Battery Wagner at daylight this morning, but were quickly repulsed. All quiet on r James Island. LATER NEWS FROM: REBEL PAPERS. Fortress Monroe, July 15.—The fiag-of-truce steamer New York-arrived from City'Point at 5 o’clock last evening, and proceeded immediately to Annapolis, having upwards of 1,300 prisoners of war, in charge of AHyor Mulford, • The Richmond Sentinel of July 13th says: “ Two Yankee iron-clads, three wooden gunboats, and five transports,'are advancing up the James river, and have got &b far sb Brandon, below City Point.” “ Jackson, Miss., July 10—Evening.—The artil lery firing has ceased. The enemy’s sharpshooters and our skirmishers are still blazing away. Our loss to-day will not exceed fifty.” “Charleston, July 13.—T0 General S. Cooper: Nothing new since yesterday.. The enemy is en gaged in establishing batteries for long-range guns on the middle of Morris Island, being aided by five monitors.' Their wooden gunboats are firing on batteries Wagner and Gregg, on the north end of Morris Island. G. T. BEAUREGARD.” “On Saturday fifty-one Yankee prisoners were received at Libby Prißon from Staunton. Among them are Lieut. Col. C. A. Hoten and Captain S. Matßh, sth Maryland Regiment, and Lieut. W. Christopher, of 2d Virginia Cavalry.: “There waß a notable arrest on Saturday, in the person'of Brigadier General Neal Dow, of Maine Law fame* captured near Port Hudson, on the 30th of June. He was furnished quarters at the Libby, where he will probably remain for some time. “An order was issued yesterday, transferring from Caßtle Thunder to Libby prißon all those per sons who refused to take up arms. The object is to place these miscreants in their proper company, with whom they will await transportation by flag of truce to their proper country.” HOW TO DEAL WITH RlOT.—Bishop Bailey, of the Roman Catholic diocese of Newark, N, J.»in reference to the riotous conduct sounhappily preva lent, says there is but one way, to deal with it, and that is the Napoleonic one—namely, to use grape and until every disturber of the peace should return to his duty. There are not a few people here who agree in this view of the oase. Our military highly approve the theory, and are fully prepared, if unfortunately necessary, to carry itiato practical effect.— Boston Journal. Tile Conscription* To the Editor of The Press: Sir : There is an impression among the opponents of the draft law.that for every man who pays the 300 dollars there is taken another man who cannot pay, until the list of drafted names is exhausted. 1 have argued the improbability of this, but I think it would be a great point in favor of the law if the above construction could be thus publicly contradicted.

Ok rumors of the capture of Charleston it fell to 126%@126, selling at these figures until noon, when it reached 125@125%, closing weak. Business gene* rally was dull, and there is very little change to note in street matters. Money 1b still very with signs of increasing ease and a consequent promise of lower rates. Government securities are rather steady, no special demand being observable for them. The stoek market showed more vitality than for some days paHt, and prices look like taking a turn upward. The feeling of speculation appears to be developing, and the ease in the money market, and the absence of numerous avenues of investment, will, likely, have their effect on prices. Beading Railroad shares, and Susquehanna Canal, were in demand at better figures, the former run ning up to 55%—an advance of 1%; Susquehanna at 12>£@i2X* 105% was bid for 1881 s; 106 for seven thirties.

Mail and Hudson River, have seen fit to put down the prices of both those capricious stocks. . Gold has been steady this morning.-at 126.

The following are the receipts of Flour and Grain „ at thiß port during the past week Philadelphia, Boot and Shoe Market. The Shoe and Leather Reporter, July 16th, Bays: The shoe jobbers are very quiet. A few are visiting the eastern shoe towns, but a majority of the deal ers are unwilling to go : into the market while the military excitement continues and the fluctuations in quotations prevail; consequently merchants are holding off for something to turn up. Yery few re tail buyers are now sending forward their orders, as a majority of sellers are supplied with summer work, and the coming orders will, be for fall goods. Our manufacturers are daily anticipating the ap pearance of jobbers from the western cities; a few orders for fall goods have already been.received, and the producers are busily employed in getting up stock. Prices are not uniform, but shoes are now being made on recent contracts at figures which have governed during the past two months. There is no disposition to advance rateß, although journeymen are becoming very scarce, and Btock is held at full values. Business, however, is at its ebb tide, and we must not anticipate any active movements before the character of the market gan be fully determined. Philadelphia Leather market. The Shoe and Leather'Reporter ofJulyl6th says : Trade has been very light since our last report. We notice some small arrivals of leather from country' tan-yards, and a light, demand for slaughter and hemlock sole, but otherwise there has been very little movement. Most of the tau-yarda that haVG been heard from in that section of the State recently occupied by the rebel army have been undisturbed by the invaders. At Carlisle the army wagons were brought to the tan . vats to carry away the half tanned stock, but the hasty orders to concentrate for battle hurried off the soldiers before the stock was touched. At Shippensburg they tried to induce a tanner to finish up his leather for their benefit. The live stock and provisions of tanners has nearly all been taken and where no other loss has been sustained, the tanning interest has been greatly checked, and very little stock can be expected from, the scene of invasion during the next four or six weeks. Slaughter Sole; —The receipts continue unu sually light, even for the season. ' The inquiry has not been urgent, though sufficient to take the stock offering at full figures. The city tanners are selling stock as fast as it comes from the yard at 40@420i some choice selections have been sold a trifle higher. We quote country slaughter at 38@4tc, choice tan nages being taken at outside figures. Spanish Sole. —There has been but very little call for dry hide leather. Eastern shoe manufactu rers are still holding off, while the local trade are using an unusual proportion of hemlock tannages. Prices are unchanged, Philadelphia Hide Market. The Shoe and Leather Reporter , July 16th, says: The hide market is nearly at a Brand. Importer* are not offering dry hides to any extent, while tan ners and dealers have been entirely idle. Saltera are receiving very few green hides from butchers’ hands, and are selling small lots at 10%@llc; the association are selling at il@l2c,but getting in very few hides at present.
