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

will not disouss the question any more. I decline

Councilman, Then you must assume the responsi

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‘

way, and some have been released on giving the an

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.

PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR OF
■ ' _ BROOKLYN.
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.

STATES IN REBELLION,
Report of the Attempted Mission of Hr. A.
H- Stephens-'The Diplomacy of Jefferson

t The following correspondence will explain itself:
ItroHMOKD, July 2, 1863.
"Han, A, H. Stephens, Richmond , Va.:
'■ Sib : Having accepted your patriotic offerto pro
ceed as a military commissioner, under flag of truce,
to Washington, you will receive herewith your letter
of authority ;to;tthe Commander-in-ohief of the army
! and navy of the. 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

| 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.

AN ARTICLE AGAINST DAVIS.
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

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

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.
I am, sir, yours truly,
UNIOIfIST.
THREE GENTS.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
THE! MONEY MARKET.
Pnrr.AnELPirrA, July 17, 1863.
Gold was somewhat depressed early this morning.
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

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
Wall street has almost resumed its usual aspect,
and nothing meets the eye to tell of our recent perils
except in the precincts of the Sub-Treasury and the
Custom House, whence the pacing sentinel, the
frowning cannon, and the scattered military groups
have not as yet altogether disappeared.
The business at the Stock Exchange has been
large, and a disposition to realize has slightly de
pressed the market, especially as the cliques con
trolling the two leading fancies, Pacific. 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
rumors that Charleston was on the 14th surrendered
to the national troops has had the effect of checking
the tendency to advance.
The loan market exhibits symptoms of accumula
tion. Six per cent is the prevailing rate, and no
one has the slightest difficulty in obtaining all the
money he wants on good securities.
Before the first session gold was selling at 126#@
126#, Erie at.9B#@99, Harlem at 111, New York
Central at 122#0122#, Pittsburg, at 95#@96, Rock
Island at 98#99, and Michigan Southern at Bl#@
81#. i-
Considerable anxiety has prevailed f to learn
whether the State of North Carolina has issued
since the rebellion any bonds in addition to the
$9,129,555 six per cents., which were out when the
war began, Tlie Richmond Sentinel of 14th lost, en
ables, us.to answer this question. North Carolina
new sixea are quoted at 128@130, and North Carolina
new eigh% at 140 andinterest: while North Carolina

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.
