Wliy should men take, up arms and com mit murder and arson because of the con scription ? We all know that it is a neces sary act, and that it was adopted as the last measure of self-preservation. In a time of war the necessity Lot hew armies invariably surpasses the supply. In the first gusli of martial feeling the people become soldiers by enthusiasm. They are charmed by the fife and the drum, the fascination of a new life, the danger to the country, and the feeling of pride which, all patriots pos sess. The monotony of combat and sor row for the dead, and extraordinary taxes, and the yearning for peace, which is after the healthy feeling of civilized com-' munities, combine to take away the enthu siasm and appeal to the reason. This is a more tedious and uncertain process. Men do not reason rapidly nor, as armies. Men have families and homes, and interests, children and real "estate, and, in looking upon public affairs, they arrive more rapid ly at the conclusion that everybody else should go than that they should go them selves. They see and know that battles should be fougbt, but duty and love wrestle a weary time together before they believe they should go forth and fight them. So that in any war, no matter how popular, and just, and necessary, the time will come, if it is prolonged, when the State must make military service the first duty of every citi zen. It is a high tribute to the loyalty of the people of America, that although an ag ricultural and business people, and with large interests at home, and, when compared with older countries, sparsely populated, that they have sustained the war with so much heartiness and good will. It was not so in the South. Conscription was among the first measures of the Southern rebel leaders. They elevated treason into a cause, and took away the people from their homes to make war in its defence. The Republic has merely resorted to con scription now, so to swell its armies that they may throw themselves upon f thc South and overwhelm it at once. It is an act of kindness and humanity. We have reduced the rebellion into a small and narrow com pass—we have demoralized its forces and thrown dismay and suspicion upon its leaders. In this way we have conquered submission in the hearts of the Southern people and acquiescence on the part of those enemies in England who have made recog nition their dream and hope. We. have, in other words, compelled the cause of the rebellion to abandon its position. It is fall ing back and only requires a general advance along the whole line to utterly destroy it. It is possible that we have men enough in Ten nessee fand Mississippi and Virginia to meet and conquer any rebel army that may he in existence—hut it is also possible that stem and bold exertions, a further enforcement of the conscription, and a general system oi plunder and robbery, may succeed in giving new strength to the rebellion. Every hour that we give them is only another opportu nity. And as the leaders of this insurrection are men in apprehension—who have forfeit- ■wist to be rudely hanged—they will from the instinct of despairing pride and self preservation, use these opportunities to give new strength to their cause. In throwing ourselves upon recent victories, and asking the armies of Grant and Meade to con tinue in their work and crush the rebellion without aid from home, we merely invite disaster to ourselves, and give the leaders of the South time to inflict such disaster. A conscription is merely telling the |people that the rebellion is so nearly crushed and the end of the war so close at'hand, that a general and unanimous effort will overwhelm the whole scheme in immediate discomfiture. ; A conscription is a defensive measure. Onr armies have been weakened, and it may be that other invasions will be attempted. All who have seen the effects of the invasion of General Lee—all who have read of the devastation that was spread through the lower Pennsylvania counties— all who remember that many days have not passed since the shells of the enemy were falling into the peaceful and terror-stricken town of Carlisle—will see the dangers one victory has saved us from, and the' neces sity of a conscription to save us from such dangers in the future. When men speak of the hardships and tyranny of the conscription, they should think of the greater hardship and tyranny that it will save them from. Is there any man, not a traitor or a coward, who would hesitate to take up arms if the sound of the enemy’s artillery were heard in his own home? Remember, friends, that on the fourth day of July such a sound carried terror into many hundreds of happy Pennsylvania homes, and that before the fourth day of next July, if we hesitate and palter, and per mit tliekebels to regain strength, we may have a Gettysburg on the banks of the Schuyl kill, while Philadelphia may be another Carlisle. Every appeal that can be made to the honor of man to defend his flag, his country, his fireside, the lives of himself and his children-—every plea and inducement that eloquence can make may be offered in behalf of the conscription. It is the most sublime sacrifice a country can ask its sons to make—and in the present time it can hardly deserve the name of a sacrifice, for if proper energy and wisdom are shown in the management of our military affairs, the rebellion will be over and the conscripts at home again before the rustling corn is ripe and yellow. . King Mob. Chief among the tyrants whose sway has desolated nations, assuredly the most pitiless and most exacting is King Mob. The scenes which New York, last week, may be adduced in evidence of this. Notwithstanding the vigilance and loyalty and courage of the municipal authorities and of the military, New York, which boasts itself to be “ the metropolis” of this vast em pire, was a prey to rioters, robbers, incen diaries, and murderers during three days. Archbishop Hughes, we suspect, is the only person wl o dOubts the .character Of these awful scenes and of the base participators in them. /When he told the “men, not gen tlemen”’ (Wif gentle conduct were a fault 1/ that they “were called rioters,” his delicate diction might have been taken to imply a doubt whether they were justly so desig nated. They were more than mere rioters —they were also assassins, thieves, and traitors, and miserable dupes and tools to boot. It is not difficult to excite the populace. Audacious oratory, which insinuates much more than it expresses, has great power over the masses. It speaks mildly enough, at first —it merely breaks ground, in a sugges tive manner, and, when reported,''exhibits little of the real poison it communicates. Its sentencesbecomethetext, fasinNew York,_) upon which such journals as the World and the Herald,'the Express and the Daily Yaws, expatiate at length and with frequency. Soon it becomes bolder and uses language more audacious. The disaffected newspa pers follow in that wake, and are less timid in their utterances. Crafty ringleaders find their way into the homes and haunts of the populace, wickedly pouring evil counsel into the minds of these deluded persons, sometimes giving them money, generally promising that, when rioting occurs, they shall be permitted to enrich themselves by plunder, and satiate their passions by bru tality. At last, when the pear is ripe, a pre text for action is readily found : “ Some watchword for the fight Must vindicate the wrong or warp the right; Keliglon—freedom—vengeanoe—what you will, A- word’* enough to raise mankind to km; Some factious phrase, by cuunlng caught and spread, That guilt may reign, and wolves and worms be fed.” In the midst of the first day’s riot, when it was considered necessary to give a fillip to the excitement of the mob, apparently satisfied for the moment, there was a call for a speech, and forthwith an orator was found, in the person of “ Mr. 'Andrews, ot Virginia,” but now of Fort Lafayette—a ruffian who ought not to he suffered to cheat the. gallows. This fellow told the dupes ■who listened and applauded, that they had acted nobly. This was after they had plun dered houses, and then burnt them down, committed numerous murders, destroyed the Orphans’ Asylum and dispersed the children, torn up the railway tracks, and generally broken almost every law in the de calogue. This , in the orator’s eyes, was act ing nobly ; and he then pressed them to or ganize, to keep together, to appoint leaders, “and crush .this damned Abolition, draft into the dust;” and then he swore, “by Heaven, if you don’t find any one to lead you, I -will do it myself!” Yet, two or three days later, w r lien this self-instituted generalissimo was “ wanted " by the police, lie was found, trembling and pallid, hidden aw r ay in a woman’s attic, seeking safety in concealment. In fact, the persons who urge the popu lace into crime, usually take care of them selves. They make the bullets for others to fire. If Yallandigham had talked the people of Ohio into revolt against the Executive, the Constitution, and the Go vernment of the United States, we may be sure that he would have managed not to he on hand when the violence was being done, when personal danger was to he appre hended. A time will come when the lead ers in the New York riots will be called to account and punished by the laws which they have violated—hut the real instigators, the traitorous spcechmakers and writers, will probably escape. This is almost inva riably the case, hut the people do not ex perience that it is so, until too late. To get up a popular excitement against the law and its action is by no means diffi cult. But thoughtful men, who may have the power, will pause ere they exercise it— will hesitate before, like Frankenstein, “they create a Monster which, erelong, will destroy all that is nearest and dearest to them. Thus, the cry “resist the draft,” placed New York in the hands of a brutal mob for three days, and fto borrow an ex ample from liisiory, ) a few ill-advised words spoken by that fanatic fool, Lord George Gordon, to the Protestant Association, caused the “No Popery” Riots of 1780, during which London was a victim to the mob for four days, and the injury done to property exceeded $2,500,000, at the lowest estimate. Let the populace ouce be started into a riot, no matter what the pretext, and havoc, robbery, arson, and murder are al most inevitable. The first popular tumult of any importance in Paris, in 1789, was that got up for the destruction of the Bas tile—even that was stained with massacre — and created all the succeeding excesses which disgraced the French Revolution. Once call up the foul fiend of Riot, and no power can lay it, without a- sacrifice of blood. Eor our own part, after what has fust oc curred in New York,—to be strongly con trasted with the loyalty and gqod conduct of Philadelphia at the corresponding period,— we are not disposed to acknowledge the me tropolitan supremacy of that city. Two years ago Fernando Wood seriously sug gested that it should be proclaimed a free city, (like Hamburg and a few smaller places in Germany, _) evidently hoping that the new civic [republic would place him at its head. We have no faith in Mr. Wood’s power of ..A a AI;1 vm-nf' Ypw York.iiU. sorts of political corruption and pecuniary plundering gave notoriety to his administra tion. Now, in a more private sphere, yet with a certain prestige as Member of Con gress, to say nothing of his influence over a large-number of the population, what steps did lie take to suppress the riots ? He said nothing, lie did nothing. He would play the part of Mibabeau, hut nature intended him tobe only a Roukst-terre. He assisted to enthrone and crown King Mob, and is helpless in the hands of the tyrant he in voked. Our eloquent townsman, Daniel Dougherty, Esq.,'will deliver an address to-day at Schenectady, New'York, which will be repeated before the Marshall Col • lege, of Lancaster, next week. This ad dress is one of the very best of Mr. Dough erty’s efforts. It is a brief but masterly analysis of the causes of the war, a rapid rehearsal of its principal events, and an earnest and glowing appeal to the young men of the country. It is little to say that Mr. Dougiieety never wrote a disloyal line, for it is not negative support that he has given to the Government. On the con trary, he has spoken as a true man should speak, and has given all his rare powers of thought and expression to the cause in which his whole soul is interested. His action in this war has been honorable to himself and valuable to the country, and entitles him not to an idle compliment, but to a sin cere and hearty acknowledgment. Mr. J. W. Kornev will deliver his lec ture on the “ Obligations and Duties of the Hour” to-morrow evening, at the Musical Fund Hall. WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to The Press. Washington, July 19, 1863, Army of the Potomac. A letter from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac eaya a few shots were .heard on Friday afternoon in the direction of . YeataVa or Gregorys. Gap,' ariaing, it ia believed, from amall partiea of rehela reconnoitring those places, and being dis persed by our cavalry and light batteries. Several paymasters have arrived,' and the officers and men attached to General Meade’s headquarters are receiving their pay to July 1. No definite information can be obtained of Lee’s present or intended movements. About seven hundred prisoners arrived at head quarters on Thursday night, and more have been forwarded by other routes. A non*oommisßioned officer, who arrived in Wash ington to-day, says that on Thursday, General Gregg crossed at Palling Waters, and was cut off at Shepherdstown, for six hours, from, communication with our army. He finally relieved himself, accord ing to the same authority, by a gallant charge upon the rebels, capturing a large number of prisoners, three stand of colors, and four pieces of artillery. The Whereabouts of Lee* There is nothing definitely known in relation to Lee’s army. The impression is that he is making his way to Culpeper and Gordonsville with all pos sible Bpeed. New York, July 19.— A special despatch from headquarters Army of the Potomac says that Lee’s army is supposed to be between Martinsburg and Winchester. A private of the new division of the 3d Army Corps has been ordered to be hung for brutal vio lence to Miss Carroll, a granddaughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. : A despatch from Shippensburg, Pa,, says that the firing heard on Friday forenoon was supposed to be an attack by General Buford at Clear Spring, where he was to cross the Potomac. A Serious Cavalry Skirmish, A detachment of the 7th Michigan Cavalry, com prising about three companies, returned on Friday evening from scouting service on the Alexandria Railroad. ' They encountered a large body of the enemy, sup posed to be a portion of Stuart’s Cavalry, at a point on the railroad, and routed them, with a loss on our side of twenty-two men. The fight, while it lasted, was a desperate one. They represent our cavalry to be at Culpeper Court House. The Rebel Army, The main body of the rebel army is reported to be at Winchester, and moving rapidly down the Val-. ley towards Culpeper, where it will be joined by reinforcements from Richmond. The most of Bragg’s army is said to have arrived there, and also some troops from Mobile and Eastern Tennes see. The rebels are believed to be strengthening their works around Richmond, mounting them with guns brought from the sea-eoast fortifications. Over 1,000 rebel prisoners arrived here to-day from the Army of the: Potomac. Twenty-eight officers are included among the number. PRISONERS PROM THE REEEL9, The number of rebel officers, ranking from lieu tenant generals down to ensigns, now in our hands, is estimated by the authorities here at over 5,000, Retaliation will be a daugerous game to play at. Following is a nearly correct statement of the number of rebel prisoners known to be in our hands. It is below, rather than above, the actual mark: : On hand at Memphis. 4 000 . At Fort Delaware.. 5,000 ; Captured by Gen. Grant . .31,300 Captured by Gen. Sherman. ; 2,000 Captured by Gen. Banks .13,000 Captured by Gen. Prentiss 2,000 Captured by Gen. Rosecrana 5,000 Captured by Gen. Meade. 21,000 T0ta1.... The rebel prisoners captured, some days sinoe, at Falling Waters, were brought here to-day and com mitted to the Old Capitol Prison;; They were dirty and ragged, and numbers of them barefooted. Taken as a body, they were in a more deplorable-looking condition than any that have been brought in during the campaign. The Potomac flotilla continues to send up pri soners, taken in attempts to run the blockade. Yesterday, the tug Lillie brought up Leslie J. Handy and R. C. Everbon, who were taken before the provost marshal this morning, and committed to the Old Capitol Prison. Handy is said to be a clerk in the Confederate Commissary Department. He and Everbon had with them, crossing from Maryland to Virginia, three trunks, containing bonnets, &c.; $412 in Con federate notes, $l9O in specie, and a sight draft on Baltimore for $5OO. The goods were plaaed in the custody of the Prize Commissioners. ; : Defeat oi Rebel Cavalry at Jackson, Tenn* Major General Hurlburt telegraphs from Mem phis, July 17th, to the War Department, as fol lows : • • —- The enemy’s cavalry was sharply punished at Jackson, Tennessee, ; by Colonel Hatch, 'on the 13th. Their loss was seven hundred killed, wound ed, and prisoners. Four hundred conscripts werere leased and two hundred and fifty horses taken, with more than that number of arms. Despatches from Admirals Porter and Far ragut. : The Navy Department has received a communica tion from Rear Admirat Porter, dated the Othinßt., in which he states that having reoeived information from various sources on the 21st ult., that the rebel General Price was .moving from Arkansas toward the Mississippi, he made the proper disposition to. meet the rebels at suoh points as he knew to be available, sending a force to Helena.. The Bragg, Tyler, and Hastings were the vessels detailed. The object of the expedi tion was to prevent the rebels from their design of moving upon some point on the river, outfclng off our transports and relieving Vicksburg. They attacked the outposts of our troops on the 4th instant, with their whole force, and as these works were slight, succeeded in getting posessionof a small fort and four small guns. The troops undor Gen. Prentiss behaved, most nobly in the engagement, and at the writing of Admiral Porter’s report, Price was re* treating towards Alexandria. Rear Admiral Farragut, in a report to the Navy Department, dated the 10th inst,, states: I have the honor to inform the Department that while at Port Hudson, on the morning of the 7th inst., I received a note from Commander Palmer, of the Hartford, stating that the gunboat Price had arrived from Vicksburg, with a bearer of despatches to Gen. Banks, announcing the surrender of Vicksburg, with 27,000 prisoners, 128 field picees and heavy guns. Oh receiving the intelligence, Gen. Banks proposed to me to join in firing a salute of 100 guns as a li feu dejoi-e.” Being called down the river by a knowledge of the. fact that the Texans were erecting batteries on the river, to cut off General Banks’ supplies, I pro ceeded to Donaldsonville. At Baton Rouge I found an army transport with a bearer of despatches to General Emory, commanding the defences of New Orleans, announcing to him the fall of Vicks burg. I sent two boats to convoy her, but on my way up I met the Monongahela ' and New Lon don, which vessels had just had a fight with a bat tery, and, sad to say, Commander Read was mor tally wounded. Well might it be said of him that “the country could have spared a better mail.” I'- know nothing of him prejudicial as a man, but I do know that no navy can boast a better officer, and I deem him a great loss both to the navy and to MS'" country. Captain Jenkins was also on board the Monongahela, on his way up to take command of the Richmond. He was wounded by the same shot.

Important Notices to Drafted Men* War Department, Provost Marshal General’s Office, Washington, July 17, 1863. Circular No. 47:—1. Drafted men become sol diers in the service of the United States by the fact of tbeir names having been drawn in the draft. The notification served upon them by the provost mar shal is merely ah announcement of the fact, and an order for them to report for duty at a designated time and place. 2. The following opinion of the Hon. William Whitino, Solicitor of the War Department, is pub lished for the information of all concerned: When a person has been drafted, in pursuance of the enrolment act of March 3, 1863, notice of such draft.must.be served within ten days thereafter by a written or printed notice, to be served oh him per sonally, or by leaviDg a copy at his last place of re sidence, requiring him to appear at a designated rendezvous to report for duty. Any person failing to report for duty, after a notice left at his lastplace of residence, or served on him personally, without furnishing a substitute or paying $3OO, is pronounced by law to be a deserter. He may be arrested and held for trial by court martial and sentenced to death.: * If a perron, after heinp-drafted and before relief v. niß-iiviiuefUeserre, the notice mays fluDe served by leaving it at his last place of residence; and if he does not appear in accordance with the notice, or furnish a substitute, or pay the $3OO, he will be by law a deserter, and must be treated accordingly. There is no way or manner in which a person once enrolled can escape hia public duties, and then and after, whether present er absent, whether he changes his residence or absconds, the rights of the United States against him are secured, and it is only by the performance of his duty to the country that he will escape liabilities to be treated as a criminal.

If the Board shall have decided that the claimant is liable to serve, he has the right after such decision Against him, to pay his commutation money or to furnish his; substitute within such extended times as may be fixed by the order of the Board of Enrol ment for his appearance for duty. WILLIAM WHITING, Solicitor of the War Department. James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General. Mr. 'Whiting, Solicitor of the War Department, says that the draft in New York is delayed only while the mob is being quelled, and that the enrol ment act will he enforced without fear or favor ia every loyal State. : Mr. Whiting leaves Washington to-night for New York and Boston. The enrolment of names for the draft in this city will be completed here on Monday. Twenty thou sand of the first class, and seven thousand of the second class, were enrolled.

The Storming and Siege of Fort Wagner A PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT FALTERING. Fort Sumpter Bombarded for Three Days by the Monitors. Breaches Made in the Walls—the YVee liawkenShot Through her Smokestack, TWO-THIRDS OF MORRIS ISLAND OCCUPIED. Boston, July 18.—The correspondent of the Bot* ton Herald gives .the following nccounb of the second day’s fighting on Morris Island: 1 On the morning of the 11th of July the 6th Con necticut and 9th Maine made a furious attack upon the Cummings’ Point battery. They got possession of it and hoisted the American: flag. At daylight Fort Sumpter opened, when a Pennsylvania regi ment cowardly deserted them, refusing to stand by their comrades. [Thifl is a Yankee story, which wc take the liberty of discrediting.] The other regiments held the battery until they were badly cut up. They then abandoned it, and the rebels again took possession. « These two regiments have shown themselves he roes in this campaign. At 10 o’clock one of the monitors proceeded t® attaok the Cummings’ Point battery, and at 3 o’olock three wooden gunboats opened on the battery at long range, and threw their 200-pound shot directly into the works. Fort Sumpter has been throwing Bhell into Morris Island without doing any damage to our side. The cannonading ceased at 4 o’clock P. M. The monitors had been supplied drith fresh crews from the different ships. Theiron-clad Montauk has just arrived.from Port Royal, and Lieutenant Boomer, of the Housatonic, will take command of her. She is over the bar, proceeding with the gunboats and fourteen vessels, in front of Morris Island and Fort Sumpter. We Bhall recommence the attack to-morrow morning, when we will be Bure of silencing the Cummings’ Point battery and Fort Johnson. Everything is working well—the ball is opened in earnest. The Memphis has just brought in a rebel side wheeler loaded with cotton, which was captured while trying to run out of Bull’s Bay last night. Our troops will have their battery done in two, days more, and then they can shell'Forfc Sumpter.] New Yoke, July 18.—The advices per the Fulton state as the result of Gen. Gilmore’s operations up to the morning of the 14th, that he has possession of all the batteries on Morris Island save Fort Wagner. It is reported that our iron-clads had made a breach on the south wall of . Fort Sumpter. On the 13th, 113 wounded rebels were brought into Folly Island. Many of them stated that they were forced into the rebel service, and intend*to take the oath of allegiance. They are Germans, and will be sent North. The other advices per the Fulton are merely cor roborative of the Boston Herat’s account. New York, July 18.—The Bteamer Fulton from Port Royal, with dates to the 15th, has arrived. General Gilmore has commenced mining Fort Wagner, and the siege was progressing favorably. General Foster had advanced along James Island, and taken all the fortifications up to Secessionville. The steamer Emilie, from Newbern, has arrived with dates to the 16th. Among her passengers are the family of Major General Foster. New York, July 18.—The following particulars have been received by the steamer Fulton: General Gilmore, intending for some time to land his force on the southern front of Morris Island, sent for several nights a working party from Folly Island to that point, for the purpose of erecting a battery behind a cluster of thick foliage. This was effected by the brave soldiers, by landing at dusk, and working through the night, and retiring the next morning at daybreak, r Concealed by the thick wood, the rebels never knew of the existence of that battery until at a quarter before four, on the morning of the 7th Inst., when they were awakened by the shells of the Fede ral flying into their camp. The rebels, thus surprised, ran to their rendez vous in their shirts, and there dressed. The shelling waß kept until midday, when General drove the rebels back. ; ■ . . - -—~ The monitors, at this time, also opened fire on the enemy, and, thus attacked from two sides, the rebels retreated, and gave our forces possession of two thirds of Morris Island. The monitors, on the same afternoon, commenced an attack on Fort Sumpter, and kept it up for three days. At times the effect of .their, heavy fire was visible. Large breaches had been made in the walls of the fort, and nearly every shot from the fleet sent up clouds of dust and sand from the shattered walls of the fortress. . On the 12th instant, General Gilmore ordered the storming of Fort Wagner by the7fch Connecticut, 9fch Maine, and 47th and 46th New York Volunteers, and the two first named regiments had actually reached the top of the parapet, when a murderous Are from the enemy drove them back. The 76th Pennsylvania, which were to support the assailing party, did not come up in time, and our troops had to withdraw. v The cause of the failure of the 76 th Penn? sylvania is ascribed to the fact that Colonel Straw bridge and the lieutenants colonel were in the hospi tal sick, and as the major was shot in both legs early in the day, the command devolved upon a captain in whom the men had no confidence, and thus faltered "at the time they were wanted. . The 47th and 48th New York Regiments, and the 7th Connecticut and 9th Maine, were cut up shock ingly, loßing probably three hundred men in the at tack. The hostilities then ceased, and General Gilmore entrenched himßelf near the fort. The fleet, however, lcept up their fire against Fort Sumpter.

It is believed in military circles that the oity of Charleston will not be taken for sometime, but that it is not impregnable to a strong combined effort of both branches of the sendee. ' On the loth, when the Fulton left Port Royal, no news of the evacuation of Charleston or the fall of Sumpter had reached that point, nor did the Fulton on her passage north see the signs of any conflagra tion in the heavens when off Charleston bar. On the morning of the 14th Port Royal was alarmed by the report that the iron ram Palmetto State was in sight, she having evaded the blockading fleet off Charleston. Captain Lamb, of the Quar termaster’s Department, immediately, directed all steamers to fire up, while the Yermont (frigate) ran out her guns, and the prize ship Fingal was also cleared for action; but the report turned out false, no vessel like the rebel ram having hove in sight. The rebel iron-clads.are reported to be all anchored in the rear of Fort Sumpter, so as to protect the.city in case the fort be taken. The steamboat Cosmopolitan arrived at Port Royal on the 14th, with 113 rebel prisoners and a number of our own wounded in the fight on Morris Island. General Terry had possessed himself of James Island up to Secessionville, where he fortified hiß position. A day or two before the Fulton left, General Terry> on reconnitriog, came near being taken prisoner by the rebels, who were lying in wait for him. The mortality in Port Royal and adjacent posts is said to be quite large, the malarious fever of the country killing about nine men a day. It was stated at Port Royal that the rebels in tended attacking our force at the same time we at tacked them. Further from Charleston—Our bosses oil Morris Island.

It states that large Arrivals of foreign goods continue to take place, so that the market, notwithstanding the blockade, was, for the time, overstocked. With regard to. cotton, it * makes the important announcement that many speculators were eager sellers in order to avoid the Confederate States war tax which has re cently become a law. levying an impost of S percent, ad valorem to be paid on all cotton that shall be held after the present month of July by every one who. .is not a producer. It is added this tax, how ever. once-paid it is expected that cotton prices will further advance, and some, well-informed parties look for fifty cents as a minimum. Several of-the individual States, it is said, laid a tax on cotton since the let of'May last, placing it on a footing with all oilier property or merchandise. The value of the hypothecated cotton given as security for.the Confederate loan is of course increased precisely to the extent to which these measures have been adopted, THE CORN MARKETS.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS. - Demakd for Peace, — The New York corre spondent of the Times, writing on June the26fch, says there has been a greaKrevulsion of sentiment among air classes. The object nf General Lee, in his advance in Maryland and Pennsylvania, is ad mitted by nearly every one. except a few philoso phical opiniomsts and Government contractors, to be nothing jess than the capture of Washington. Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet, as well as General Hooker, share this opinion. There la a very widespread and earnest wish that Lee may be successful.. The belief-that the present Ad ministration is incompetent to conduct the war, that it cannot, conquer the South, that the South will indubitably achieve its independence, and that it, is better for all parties that it should do so without further bloodshed, spread rapidly from the lower grades of the working classes upwards, until it has pervaded the whole mass of society ex cept the. contractors, the preachers, and the newspa per' editors; it is openly expressed in the ferry boats and f the omnibus; it is discussed in hotels lobbeys andreading-rooms ; it 1s the Btaple topic of conversations, and appears to he so deeply-rooted, and so.universally diffused, as to have hushed the . trumpeters of war. And welded the conflicting pas sions. interests, arid convictions of a great people into the homogenitv of one weary, disgustedfhnd all but indignant prayer'for peace. -In every partof the country the war'm ania seems to have subsided; New England, which spoke of 900,000 volunteers which , she would Bend-to support'the policy of emancipation, ha* not sent a man to the relief of Pennsylvania. The, Northwest organizes all their youDgvmen in secret societies to .resist compulsory' aid to a war . which the common sense of the ma jority haeloisg since ceased to approve. Such is the situation while Lee is thundering at the gates of the capital, and the, people rather approve than condemn the . Confederate chief, and'wish that he were President, instead of Mr. Lincoln to settle a difficulty which is out of Mr. Lincoln’s reach even to Appreciate. Tn fact, the Federal Government Eeemfl to he tumbling into perdition. The Times, in a leader, remarks that the Southern States produce the best generals, the best statesmen, the best .public functionaries of all kinds in the Union, and are fully proved to be the nearest ap proach to a governing class. It adraitß this, while stating that it is to Southern statesmen England owes the numerous insults she has received from America. The Star says: “That this is.the crisis there can haTdly be a doubt. Now or never we may. say one side or the other must conquer. Thegreat Republic will perish or prevail according to the measure of the force it -roav put forth at this, crisis of-the struggle with the treason that would make slave power supreme in the law and on the soil of, a free people,” LATEST, VIA.

The Wilmington Journal, an original Secession sheet, v in apoaking of the assembling of the North Carolina Legislature, bn the call of Gov.

For the past few days, much activity has been ex hibited in this department, and results of a beneficial character will soon be realized. r The Raleigh Standard is in favor of the reconstruc tion of the Union, and thinks it probable that terms of a reconstruction between the North and South will be the adoption of a gradual emancipation, sys tem by all the rebellious S bates, which North Caro- lina, in common with the other slave States, will accept, if the United States Government insists upon the same as the only terms that can be granted, notwithstanding the life of the institution is not in the least, impaired by this war, as is generally be lieved at the. North. Nothing but a great standing army between masters aDd slaves could impair the institution, over which is thrown the shield of State and municipal laws, together with the inherent will of the Southern people. Hence, these are the cheap est the Government can offer, and the best the South can accept. ' . Gen. Hickman is in command here during Gen. Foster’s absence.

Four llays Spent on the JJattle-lields of Gettysburg, \BY REV. E. W.'HUTTER. Reported.for The Press.] On yesterday (Sabbath) evening, in St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, New; Btreet. in the presence of a very large And appreciative audience, the pastor, Rev. E.W. Hotter, delivered an interesting account .of what he had witnessed during four days’ service on the battle-fields of Gettysburg and vicinity. The speaker said it was not his purpose to preach a ser mon, (hence he would take ho text,) but rather to make a statement, with such inculcations and de ductions as would serve to render the subject profit able, and stimulate the audience to works of bene volence and duty. He said that in company with seven others he had reached Gettysburg, in the way sinners get to heaven, through much tribulation,” the party having first gone to Harrisburg with fifty two boxes’of stores for the sick and wounded, with all of which they had been obliged to return to Phi ladelphia, and from hence to Gettysburg via Balti more and the Hanover junction. From the latter place, ladies and all had been obliged to travel nearly all night in burthen-cars, with bags of Go vernment oats serving them as seats. We will fur nish the rest of the Rev. gentleman’s address, for the sake of convenience, under appropriate heads. . WHO OIJGHT TO VISIT GETTYSBURG—AXD WHO HOT. The speaker and hia.party had taken with them, and distributed, in among the wounded, an immense, quantity of clothing, refreshments, and edibles. To do this they were opportunely enabled by the great success of table No. 14 of the floral fair recently held at Concert Hall, of which two thousand do/farswere appropriated to this object. No one of proper seDßibilitieß would go there merely to gratify a morbid curiosity. Thi3 exhibits a most-vitiated and depraved taste. All such are worse than use less. They ar,frmere cumberers of the ground, and constitute an army of consumers. And these sight seers, too, are the greatest croakers conceivable. They are the first to complain of inadequate accom modations, to curse the Government and the citi zens, when they have no business to be there at all. Unless, therefore, the object be to seek after loved ones, cr, in imitation of the Master, “go about, doing good,” this class of visitors had better all re main at home . THE HORRORS OF THE BATTLE-FIELD. .The Rev. speaker said he had no desire unne cessarily to excite the sensibilities of his audience by any attempt to present a graphic delineation of .the horrible scenes he had witnessed. This would be an unprofitable employment. 'To be realized,- however, in the remotest degree, these horrors must be seen. Hearing of them only at a distance, or reading of them in the newspapers, men accustom themselves to regard war as little more than a splendid game, a proclamation, two contending armies, a battle, a defeat, and a victory. Rut the., case is altered when war is brought to our doors. Then to exaggerate its horrors, there can exist no temptation. To the reality of the frightful scenes in and around Gettysburg no paint of fiction or depth of coloring could approach. The sight had sent a pang of shuddering through his frame. A fortnight ago the sun had shone on no lovelier spot than Gettysburg, especially dear to every Lutheran heart, because the seat or her own ancient and re vered institutions. Nowits fruitfulness and happi ness are, for the present, gone ! Through those ! streets, and over those fertile fields, two ravaging : armies have passed, confronting each other not to draw closer the bond of brotherhood, hut to re nounce it, and hew each other down with murder ous, weapons. Ob, what, a scene those hospital tents furnish ! Thousands of stalwart men welter ing in blood, their bodies mangled, their limbs shat tered, and from many almost every vestige of the human form and countenance departed! Hu manity shudders at the scene, and Pity draws over . it a veil; THE CONFIDENCE (VP* THE REPELS—AND THE I3C- rORTANCEOF THE UNION VICTORY. It is the concurrent testimony of all the people of Gettysburg, that when the rebel army first entered the town, they were confident and defiant beyond measure. Gen. Early was heard more than once in the streets to exclaim : “ Wait a day or two And we will show you what rebels can do. We have a small job on hand that will take us only a few hours to attend toy viz: to despatch the remnant of Joe Hooker’s broken-down army. That. done, then hur rAh hoys !: Then Baltimore is ours! Washington is our’s ! Harrisburg and Lancaster fall into our bands, and Philadelphia becomes our head quarters! Then we will make the Quaker’s howl! Then Philadelphia herself pays our share of the expense of the war, and in case of failure, we shall fire the four corners, and reduce it to aßhes!” Such was the general tone of the rebels. Said the redoubtable Barksdale: “We never have been whipped, and never can nor will be.” And no one who was an eye-witness to their imperious insolence can for a moment doubt that, bad they been successful, Philadelphia this day wovXd ' exist only in name , and Ichabod would be written on the very doorposts of the nation! Under God,'we owe our salvation to the brave Army of the Potomac! For thesenoble men, then, how is It possible, in bur ef forts to relieve .their.suffering, to transcend the bounds of moderation 1 It was that brave army, with their accomplished General, that made a dash •in the reckoning, and taught the insolent braggarts that “there’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.” ' THE DESI'ERATK CHARACTER OF THE STRUGGL'D. It is doubtful whether Thermopylae or Marathon elicited nobler deeds of daring than did the battle of G ettysburg. To both sides it was patent that it was for life or deAth. Had the fight continued where it was begun, on Seminary Hill, it would have inevi tably resulted in the success of the rebelß, for two reasons: First, the advantage to them of (position; and secondly, the Seminary, filled with our wound ed, being between the forces. Before our side could dislodge the enemy we would have had to slay our own noble wounded* But by a most dexterous and soldierly movement, Gen. Meade, by an apparent wavering and retirement of his army, transferred the main battle to Cemetery Hill, on the other side of the town, where the moßt extensive and formida ble breastworks had been thrown up. And here the Bhot and shell fell thick and fast as hail. Here the forest trees are swept as'by a storm. The re bels fought with the desperation of fiends, but they were confronted by our brave legions, who mowed them down as the scythe levels the grass. HOWTOIOH soldiers hear their sufferings, If war has its horrors, it also has its nobler and better developments. Having mingled freely among the wounded, passed from tent to tent, proffering them refreshments, and conversing with them, the speaker was much impressed with the heroic forti tude of these brave men. From the Union soldiers, not a murmur of discontent did he. hear—not a re gret from any one that he had gone to the war. All are soothed and sustained by an unfaltering confi dence in God, and in the righteousness of their cause. THE REBELS NOT NEAR SO COMPOSED. The speaker said he had been forcibly struck with the difference in this respect between the Union and rebel soldiers. The latter exhibited much more dis tress, and express themselves heartily sick of the war. Some there are, it is true, who even in the most abject misery are bold and defiant, but the mass are greatly subdued, and confess that their cause is hopeless. This is especially the case with the men from North Carolina. The speaker had spent much timein carrying supplies to the rebels, and in every in stance did the North Carolina men express their at tachment to the old Union, and declare that they were compelled, at the point of the bayonet, to take up a'rms against it. They even charge. that, in many instances, they have been shot by their own men. In one tent we saw ten North Carolinians badly wounded. We gave them to eat and drink, and said, “It affords me pleasure to wait on the men of North Carolina, for I believe skc, at no distant day, will return to the Union.” “ God grant it /” shouted one. “Amen / Amen!” shouted all the rest. ' RECIPROCAL KINDNESS OF THE WOUNDED. This is most remarkable. . The speaker.had never known a class of men among whom there existed fewer rivalries or jealousies. Indeed, he had not dis covered any. They seem “in honor to prefei- one another.” Again and again, when approached with refreshments, they would say: “I thank yon, good friend. If you have enough and to spare, I will ac cept it with gratitude "; but if you lack, take it to others, for there are many much needier than my self.” Their gratitude for benefits received is also very marked. THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CONTRAST OF TUB TWO ARMIES. It would be a slander to assert that there are 'no moral men, or religious, among the rebels. The contrary is the fact. The .pietißtn of many borders rather on fanaticism. They religiously believe they are right, but are not the less mistaken. So do Jews, Turks, and Manommedans believe that they are right—and yet, if they should take up arms against our holy Christianity, their sincerity would prove no shield to them. Force would have to be repelled by force. They are, never theless, the blind dupeß of wicked and selfish men, and engaged in doing the Devil’s own worst work. But it is equally a slander, to assert that the rebels, aa such, have a deeper flow of piety, and more of it, than our own brave and good men. And as to gene ral intelligence, therebels are vastly, vastly inferior. The mass of them, on general topics, are lamentably igneo'ani —the “poor white trash of the South,” as the aristocratic cotton-lords term them—and this very ignorance is one secret of the bucccbs of the leaders in instigating them to rebellion. They read no newspapers, and the truth is habitually concealed from them. I met a good-looking young Georgian who had been in the army two years, and who, when I Bpoketo him of New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, and other places being in our possession, said, “ I do not believe a word of it—they are all Yankee lies. n> AN AFFECTING SCENE, Some of the Bceneß witnessed on and near the battle-ground, are singularly solemn and impressive. We will relate (me: In passing among the tent a, we came to a yoUDg man from Eastern Virginia, not over nineteen years old. We offered him food and drinlts. “ Oh,” said he, in a hollow, sepulchral tone: »* It is nothing that I need for my body. I am shot through the lungs. The doctor has just been here, and sayß mortification has Bet in, and that I cannot live many hours. Can you do nothing for my poor soul? Oh, thatlhsd a hope of heaven—but my heart is so hard, and I cannot feel that Jesus hiß forgiven my sins. Oh, Jesus! Jesus ! help me,” We pointed the dying youth to the Lamb of God, knelt at his Bide on the damp earth, and offered a; prayer. The lauies of our party came and sang, 11 Alas,-and did my Saviour bleed,” with the'chorus, “Oh, Lord, remember me.” Then the young rebel folded his .hands on his breast and prayed fervently. We could to see him breathe his last, for hundreds of others were flying claim on our attention, too. DEATH OF CAPTAIN. GRIFFITH. An affecting scene, too, was the death of this brave man, of Baxter’s Zouaves, of our own city. He was’ mortally wounded, and carried to a private residence in the town. HißcommaadiQggeneral,the brave Howard, came to his aide. They loved each other as brothers. When the General saw his fa vorite captain sinking into the arms of death he fell on his neck, kissed him, and burst into a flood of tears. [Recovering his self-possession, the Christian General read to the dying captain a part of the 14th chapter of John’s Gospel, and then offered a fervent and impressive prayer. In a few moments the spirit of the brave captain had fled, when the General again burst into tears, wringing his handß, and ex claiming, “Oh, that I had died instead of he. He was such a brave and a true man.” AN AFFECTING FUNERAL. We witnessed, in an open field, within sight of hospital tents containing 2,500 woundeg, the burial of eight Union soldiers. They were laid Bide by side in a trench, their blankets serving as coffins, and several hundred spectators surrounding the place of interment. Oh, how grave the words of the chaplain; how affecting his earnest and eloquent prayer; how indescribably solemn the scene ! THE COUNTRY AROUND A VAST GRAVE-YARD. Hundreds of accessions has the Gettysburg Cecae tery received within these memorable days. In one place we counted over one hundred graves of New York volunteers, the names of the brave men all in scribed on simple head-boards. In close proximity \\q fifty- six rebels in one trench, and not far oft forty two more, without a solitary name inscribed. The spot itself is designated by a board nailed against the tree, with the inscription that, here lie so many rebels. Several soldiers are buried within arm’s length of Ur. Krauth’s rear' door. The Seminary grounds and Dr. Schmucker’s garden contain a number, and thus it is all through the country, within a circuit of eight or ten miles. It is a vast burial ground. SAVED A REBEL SOLDIER DROWNING. On last Sabbath afternoon we were at the hospital tents of the army corps No. 2, when a violent thunder-gust prevailed. The rain fell in torrents. We were in comfortable quarters in the tent of the Christian Commission when we recollected that Borne fifty or sixty rebels were lying at the foot of a hill close by. Prompted by motives of humanity, we went to look after them. Oh, what a scene! There they lay in the drenching rain, in all their filth and wounds, without cover or shelter. “Oh, my God!” exclaimed one, “won’t you gentlemen hold your umbrella over me, J am drowning ?” A stream of water was rushing into Mb mouth. We shielded him with our umbrella until • ourselves drenched to the skin, when we elevated his head on a pillow made of a cast-off army coat, and were compelled to leave him. - UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS, Most, if not all, of the complaints made against the Government and citizens are unfounded. They do all in their power to relieve the sufferers as fast as possible, and no community has done more thaii the people of Gettysburg. But, when it is borne in mind that they.themselves were “eaten.out” by the rebels, their- horses stolen, their stores robbed, and the place literally stripped of its means, every allowance ought to be made. We have observed it as an Almoet invariable rule, that the loudest croak ers against the Government and citizens are those who do not themselves fwm a finger to Telievethe sufferers. They come as mere selfish sight-seers, and if not rolled from place to place on plush seats, indulge in bitter invective. Who sent forthem? CONCLUDING THOUGHTS. At the cloße of his varied and interesting state ment, attentively listened to throughout, Rev. Hat ter . remarked that the thoughts uppermost in Ms mind, since his return from Gettysburg, have been the following: I. The gigantic and heaven-daring wickedness of the 'Southern demagogues and politicians, by whom, and by whom atone t this cruel and desolating war haß bc;en inaugurated. On their heads, in the sight of God and man, rest the guilt and responsibility of every drop of blood that has been shed, North and South. Gigantic crime! Horrible iniquity! To characterize it, as it deserves, defies the descriptive energies of language., . 11, The infinitely augmented value of the Union and institutions, founded and formed by our fathers. By the duty we owe to ourselves, our posterity, to God and mankind, let us, on ten thousand holy.al tars, Bwear renewed fealty to them, intermitting no sacrifice, until the hydra-headed rebellion shall have been effectually and forever “ crushed out.” . 111. The deep and abiding'debt of gratitude we owe to our brave and gallant Army and Navy. The memory of the fallen let us cherish In our heart of hearts, as martyr-heroes, who have sacrificed their lives in defence of as holy and good a cause as has ever appealed to the. love of men. The living, especially if they, be maimed and wounded, together with their dependent families, let iis nourish, protect, and care for, as one of the ho liest treasures ever committed by God and His Christ to the prayers, the sympathies, and the “substantial aid” of the church, of society, and of every humane and philanthropic citizen. Now, more than ever, let us open our hearts in a kind and generous flow of sympathy to the wants of suffering humanity. Let us be kind to all men that claim our kindness ; but let us be.especially and unceasingly kind to our brave and noble soldiers f The National Finances. — Jay Cooke, the subscription agent, reports the sale of $973,000 five-twenties on Saturday. Deliveries of bonds are being made to June 28th. The formation of national banks in various parts of the Union is creating an active demand for Government loans, while the recent military successes Tender the fur ther issue of permanent loans extremely doubtful, and those already issued desirable not only for in vestment, but for bankingpurposes. We are requested to statftliat the Sum mit House Hospital, near Darby, is much in want of thin wrappers, lemon, wines, jelließ, &o. We feel assured that the fact need only be stated to secure a bountiful supply of these and other articles needed at a hospital. They can be sent out by the City Ex press. - •• Special Meeting.— A special meeting of the Common Council iB called for this afternoon, to talte action upon thebill providing for the oleanaing of the streets of the city. The call has in it the clause “ and for other purposes.” The City Troop.— The City Troop will meet this morning at 9 o’olook, on the lot adjoining the Academy of Mnsio, for review. It is expected jthat Brigadier General Whipple will be present. Militabv Funebaxs.— At four o’clock yesterday afternoon the funeral of the late Joshua 8. Garsed, of the 23d Regiment P. y., took place at Roxborough. The deceased was a member of the Eoxborough Lyceum, and also a graduate of the Central High School. He fell in the battle at Get tysburg; was a young gentleman of much promise, and universally esteemed. His remains were buried in the Leverington Cemetery. The funeral of A. F. Dupont took place yesterday afternoon, and .was attended by the members of Weccacoe Steam*Engine Company. The deceased waß a brave soldier, and belonged to Baxter’s Fire Zouaves.

This hero fell in battle on July the 3d. He wbs buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery. "We eaw moet of these funerals. As they passed by, like a solemn pageant, we could not help think ing of the men who, though sworn to support the Constitution of the United Statefl, were plotting treaßon to.overthrow it. We beheld the weeping families of the deceased—the sorrowing friends aa they stood around the biers—and could readily attribute all to the perjury committed by the men who struck the blow, and thus inaugurated the re bellion. The departed spirits of the brave who have fallen in the defence of law; order, humanity, jus tice, will meet the cowering .souls of the treason plotters, their Northern aiders and abettors, in a Bpbere from which the father of all rebels was hurled into perdition. • The Wo ceded in the Field.—Mrs. Mary A. Brady, Mrs. M. A. Dobbins, and Mrs. K. G-. Chase, of this city, still continue their voluntary efforts to ameliorate the condition of the wounded on the late battle-field, having their tent and stove at the Second Division of the Third Corps Hospital, Tniicß._from Gettysburg, where they are engaged in their gfSTXnvoair-i»i»»To-i><yfcH~dfl.y anti night.

The Tenth New Jersey.—This regiment is now fully eD camped in the beautiful Jefferson Square, in the Second ward. It has been in the ser vice of the country nearly two years, and has one more year to serve. The warlike scene was novel to the people in the southern part of the city, and yesterday thousands paid a visit to the square, and had a view of the whole affair through the railing. The soldiers have, so far, acted with becomingdigni ty—are healthy looking, and seemed to be gratified to find themselves the “most observed of all ob servers.” The Draft.—The drawing of tlie names for the Twelfth, Twentieth, and Twenty-fifth wards will take place to-day; the first named at 5U Brown street, commencing at eight o’clock this morning; the second, at Broad and Spring Garden, com mencing at six o’clock, and the third, at Odd Fel lows’Hall, Franklord. Expected.— The Independent Company under the command of Captain Wm. B. Mann, are expected to arrive this morning. They will have with them the Jefferson Cornet Band. A number of .the employees of the Mint, and a number of the Cooper Shop Refreshment Committee, belong to this company. THE "PD'L'IOB. Scarcity. In regard to the police market, its condition may he set down in the little word dull. At the Central Station on Saturday, the detectives generally re ported everytMng quiet, the “ coast clear,” &c. f &c. There was cot a case called to the attention of the committing magistrate. This seems to augur well for the character of the city. Within the past two or three weeks a number of the most desperate and daring thieves have been locked up for trial, and, therefore, our citizens are enjoying an immunity from burglarious operations. - One man, for stealing a hat from a store on Mar ket street, and a woman, charged with abstracting the sum of forty dollars from the pocket of an un suspecting" man—both too trivial for especial no tice—were the only cases of theft brought to the no tice or the magißtracy of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, July 18, 1563. The downward movement in gold continues, and the figure stands at 123 at the close, after a gradual decline during the day. This, pt course, is the Im mediate result of the recent victories, and it may be continued by the promise of others nearly as im portant. Charleston, Mobile, and Richmond are yet to thrown their depressing influence into the scale of the gold market, and if these are speedily acquired, it would appear that gold would sink to 110 or 115, when, by a strong effbrt of the Govern ment and the banks, a resumption of specie pay ments might be effected, to the great credit of our country and its institutions at home, and the as tonishment and discomfiture of nations abroad. The steady decline gold has experienced in the force of terrible and widely-extended riots in our princi pal money mart shows that the shrewder operators are thoroughly aware that tMs Government is fully able aDd equally determined to uphold the suprema cy of the laws, and that however successful plun derers may be for a time, their reign will be short. Business men, therefore, pursued the even tenor of their way, satisfied, that Secession proclivities are to be more severely dealt with than they were in New York. Government securities continue without change, and money is easier than ever, large amounts seek ing temporary investment at 4 per cent. The stock market was very active this morning, and the demand for the more speculative stocks was extensive.. Reading was in demand at 65X<S)o5J£; Pennsylvania at 64X;.

There is little disposition to sell, and the general opinion is that as a consequence of the successes of the national arms the market next week will show a considerable advance. - The loan market is easy. The money lenders are no longer so scrupulous in the selection of collaterals, and show decidedly less aversion to the Western railroad shares than prevailed last week.
