It was tbe cohorts and henchmen-of Fernan do Wood, and the unprincipled orators,who ad dressed the Southern conspirators add 1 spies at the Broadway Jacobin Clubs, that let loose the fiends of massacre and rapine oh our cityyand furnished to the ferocieus substtatum,which Mozart always holds in leash, the thieves and murderers to stimulate and lead it. This is the revelation of tbe hour, and those who ’ fail to she it have bat apoor and defective mental vis ion. It is dne to . the cunning of‘Fernando Wood, to recognize the fact,'that be .was tbe first politician to hit upon the plan of sifting the foreign element, and of organizing the ut terly vicious portion of it in a separate-class. In his contest with tbe regular Democracy in 1857, he had been worsted and cast oat, end it was then, probably, that he was vested with the idea that the ruffians of tbe city were, under the popular examples afforded by the oitycoun oils, sufficiently numerous to be entitled to an independent organization of their own. And, possibly, considering that he had peculiar claims to - their respect, he set himself up for their leader, and laid the foundation of Mozart. He was soon surrounded by a formidable ele ment, and aggregated under bis control Suffi cient votes to enable him to destroy tbe plural ity of the Democratic vote. On this stock in trade, he has been able for some years to pur sue the business of dividing tbe Democratic party in the city, and selling back to it, at tbe election, tbe portions which be stole, for,certain considerations in the shape of cash and place. This business proved very lucrative, and ena bled him to make large donations to Catholic institutions, and it is, worthy of-remark, that he has always beaten even tbe most popular Irishman, in bidding for tbe political influence of Ah at church. The last proof we have, is in the-speech of an archbishop, who calls tbe Mo zart rioters together, os be assures them “not to scold them,” and neglects to utter even the slightest reproach for burning down an orphan asylum in direct proximity to one of bis own. These things .are startling, when viewed in log ical conjunction, and they reveal to o» the meaning of that lofty carriage and defiant lan guage, which indicates, in Fernando, the mas-* ter of the city. While pluming ourselves upon being a republican community, we have really sunk under a humiliating despotism, and Fer nando Wood is as much a noble,' over us t&r private men, as are the dukes of Englaisdpor the Crown Princes of the Rhine. His surrounding city lords who circulate as satellites, and occasionally kick us, in the in terests of the_gulter, are such of iris depend ents as have recently been" braining owlarein,' stabbing fallen soldiers, and who, having had_, their 'faces temporarily washed, and clean clothes put upon them, were thrust in the com mon council, to manage the treasury and make our laws. We trace them unmistakably in ev ery act; and in none more clearly has their origin been shown, than in the recent donation of two million and a half of our money, as a tribute to the thieves’ victorious arms. HIS ALLIES, This is the local phase and philosophy of our recent troubles ; but if we look beyond our boundaries, we shall—find the mischief has a heavier backing and a . broader scop?. We shall find, that while Fernando Wood has been playing his part here, in the interests of South ern treason, such men as Seymour, Vallandig ham, Cox, Pendleton and Wall, have been equally active in the same interest, in their re sportive districts; and consequently, it is not to be wondered at to see them all working har moniously together, at every opportunity and upon every incident, which offers to impair and subjugate the Government. The rebellion embarked with two great hopes. The first was- a division of the North, that would leave the South Superior in arms; the second was. European intervention. For the first it depended on snob men as we have named, but they were awed for awhile by the popular fury at the fall of Sumter. When European intervention failed, the South turned again to its first reliance, and commenced to nurse Northern for a final trial. They had been able to raise many millions in gold for European purposes, and doubtless they sent some millions here. Thp “nigger" was adopt ed as the watchword .of the faction, because they knew it would most easily deloya’ize that foreign laboring element which dreaded compe tition.; and the always unwelcome draft, was se lected as the best signal for the culminating overt act. ■ Upon, this focus, .therefore; all the Copperhead orators concentrated their inflam ing eloquence; and they did not hesitate, in ( many cases, to advise the people to openly re sist the-power of the Government. HORATIO SEYMOUR. ' ThVmoat insidious and dangerous of these demagogues was Horatio Seymour, the Gov ernor of this State. With far inferior talents to .Fernando Wood, and, in, fact, less .honor in dealing with associates, Seymonr brought a specious eloquence, and the character of a pro fessing Christian, to the support of the .cabal. He did not advocate a resistance to the draft. Oh,' noT be simply contented himself with denouncing the war as an unlawful one on onr -.part; end with throwing out a flanking protec tion to the orators who repudiated the conscrip tion, by demanding an impunity for their sedi tions. He did hot justify the secession in the South, in so many direct words; but he declared there were no powers in the Constitution to coerce a State, and insidiously endorsed the -essence of the Southern treason, through the doctrine of paramount State sovereignty. He mourned over the war, ha 'eighed after peace, he insisted that the Union could not he restored by force of arms, and in his last message, that no causes then existed for discord with the South, more than had always existed. When his friend, Thomas H, Sey mour, ran for the Governorship of Connecticut, on an avowed resistance to the draft, he ad dressed that State, in association-with Fetnan do and-Vallandigham, in his, support; andjin ally, when ValUndigham was arrested for vhei- WELLSBORO., TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUTS ,12, 1863. ting citizens of Ohio to become brigands, and jasassinate- the public officers, he issued a fal mination from the capital at Albany, declaring to the already too much excited people, that revolution had arrived. From that time down to the 4th of July, he kept almost constantly reiterating that incendiary outcry, and demand ing, in tbe name of his followers, an entire im punity for sedition, either in tbe Forum, or tbe Press. This was put forth under a plausible clamor for “free speech,” as if the counselling of resistance to the lawful acts of a lawful Government, in time of war, were not sedition; and as if he. a lawyer, did not know that snob sedition was, by the express language of the Constitution, a crime punishable: with death. It was under such iniidibu* teachings &■ these of Horatio’s and his. clan, that the insur rection which exploded on the 13th of July, was nursed. Instigated by .so plausible a tongue, and encouraged by so respectable a reputation, thousands who had no notion of revolt, were induced to believe that tbs Govern ment was really guilty of a tyranny, and by their sullen mood and open condemnation, gave heart and color to the rising treason. It is thought that the parties who engineered this outbreak directly as the agents of the Southern Confederacy, and who had so mnch cause to felicitate themselves over the grstuit onr malignity of Seymour, were ready to ex plode it on the Fourth of July, in case the news should come in by that day of a whole sale victory in Pennsylvania by Lee. It will be recollected that the blessed -anniversary of cur independence was the occasion of a univer sal outburst of Copperhead malignity in every portion.of the country, and there is now but little doubt, that bad Mead been overthrown, and the army of the Potomac crushed, the wires would have been lurid with a common screech “to arms 1” and amid the Confederate traitors, North and South, the Republic would have sunk to ruin. It will be borne in mind that Fernando addressed the malcontents in New Hampshire on that day; that Seymour preferred the Jacobins of the Broadway dabs, to the atmosphere of Tammany; and that John McCann, fearing the Mozart interest might thereby be nndermined, commended the South ern Constitution to the “Irish Young Men’s Catholic Association,” of Brooklyn, as a 1 docu ment superior to the Constitution of the Bolted States. Every thing seemed ready for the signal, but unfortunately for their plans, the news came that Lee was overthrown; while the rapidly succeeding fall of Vicksburg utterly appalled them. The depressing effect of these two dreadful disasters of the rebels, was attended, however, with a sadden reaction; and the desperate lea ders who kept in the dark, determined that their loos prepare tionsond their lavishedjtnlrL should not go entirely for nothing. Nay, it~is more than probable the word came directly from Richmond, that this last card must now be played; and there was, perhaps, a lingering hope that an.anarchy might ensue, that would give the sinking Confederacy , time to recover its lest breath. The true question that would be mooted by this lighting of intestine fires would be—whether a Republic was strong en ough to stand the final strain of parties ? and it might be, as indheir own case, tbatianarcby would triumph, and their friends have posses sion of the ruins. Though “the Fourth” and its opportunities had passed, the date of the impending draft remained, and every thing was concentrated to tarn that to the best ac count. We do not mean to insist that Horatio -Sey mour was in complicity with these infamous in cendiaries, or an understanding member of their firm ; but jt'will be seen by the use the con spirators made of him on the day which they intended for their St. Bartfaolomew,.tbaiiif he was not' a member of tfasir firm,;he at least played directly in. their hands. He began bis Fourth of July speech tothe Copperheads who swarmed all the aisles of the Academy, by gloomily reproaching the Govern ment for not having taken Vicksburg; and then virtually excused himself for sending oar reg iments to Pennsylvania, by lugubriously sta ting that it was in response to a cry of help from a sister Slate.. Then, falling to bis jack daw cry of Vallandigham’s arrest, be distinct ly notified the Government that unless the prin- 1 ciple involved therein were at once repudiated, its retention would be regarded in the light of revolution ; and the doctrine of “ pnblio neces sity," by which the Administration justified the arrest, might be adopted by the mob. _Fur ther, that if the people became convinced -they were to have A despot, they might possibly resolve to have one of their own choosing. These singntar threats and warnings were uttered in the presence of the Copperhead Committee from Ohio, who were on the stand, and who were to receive from the President, in thg, course of the following week, bis final answer, whether be would discharge Vallandig ham or not. HE TRIES TO STOP THE DRAFT, We need not describe bow well they did the work.the conspirators had set for them. They instituted murder and plunder by the whole sale, and with the. view of giving a conserva tive hint to the government as to what might happen generally if the Emancipation act were not rescinded, were told to murder every negro man, woman or child they coaid lay their hands bn. They burned do'wn a colored orphan asyl urn, and the majority wished to throw the chil dren in the'flames; and wherever they met a hapless African they slew him by beating him to death. One Mozart statesman, with a view to office, plncked a brown infant from its fath er’s arms and hnrled it headlong into a stone court, some forty feet below, while with the other be dashed out its parent’s brains. There was terror enough, and blood enough, and pillage enough, to meet all the long expect ations that had been formed for months for this red “ christening of the Northern States and what was one of the pleasant features of this carnival, to those who had spoken in the hall at No. 952 Broadway was that this new policy of the‘Peace-party was inaugurated .with the jaheetful cries of “ Three cheers for Jeff. Davis 1” “This will-balance Vicksburg!” and MUTATOR. the pnomas disappointed. Seymour's speech. “'Unify for the Sooth 1" Equally strong evi dences of good will for “our Southern breth ren” and the Confederacy were shown by an effort to release the Confederate prisoners on their road to David’s Island; also by a reso lute attempt to burn the huge irouclad steamer at Webb’s yard, and by the tearing down of an American flag in tbe Seventh avenue, and tbe treading upon and tearing of it into a thousand pieces. Tha only defect about the whole affair for those who set it on was, there were no American workmen in it, and the few poor Gomans who were homed with tbe crowd were mere waifs,' which. the burly Celtic storm had whiffed from intervening doorways into the Resistless stream. We need hot dwell upon the scene. Its hor rors areyritheverybody.and everybody knows that the military authorities, cutting Table from Seymour, finally soothed the fury of “ these innocent people,” without the aid of Judge McCann, by shooting them to death. It is due to Gov. Seymour to state, however, that he was consistent to the end, and that he uni ted with Senator Bcadiy, in order to have the .provoking presence of the military removed from the Eighteenth Ward. Tbe authorities, however, “ did not see tbe matter in that light," and their views were justified by a final out break on that evening. On Thursday night, it exhibited its last pulsation, under the ben ediction of his Grace | John, in Madison Square. It is feared, that having had a Gov ernor for its patron, an archbishop for its apol ogist, and tbe common council for its almoners, it may break out again, when the conscription is resumed; but we have no snob apprehen sion. It baa no roots in the real masses of the people, end its instigators clearly see that their wicked cause cannot be made to penetrate our community skin deep. Tbe draft, therefore, will go on under, general acquiescence; and when it is over, and the drawn qgldiers are in camp, we hope the dovernment will feel itself strong enough to arrest every viliian in this city and in Ohio, who counselled the people to make forcible resistance to the draft. Tbe as sassinations In Ohio are directly traceable to tbe undisguised instigations of Vallandigham and bis associates ; while the ghosts of tbe in nocent men and women who have been ruthless ly murdered in our streets, point to -our city traitors as accessories before the fact. _ The loyal people of New York, who do not wish to be forced to retaliate in kind, expect anxiously that tbe Government will perform its duty in the premises. THE RIOT AND ITS HORRORS. These warnings and their sequel follow strangely. The President denied their Copper head demand. On Saturday the draft begojn, and as in ail other portions of the State and counlry-it was cheerfully submitted to —nay, yeatctftvu ABe autgeat of goo4-o«S«red .hilarity. The Sunday passed, and atilt was quiet; but on the following day, and not nntil near noon, the forcible revolt began. On the Saturday, however, when everything was so quiet, and while our good citizens were congratulating themselves that the law had been submitted to, Horatio Seymour despatched his- Adjutant to Washington to urge the Government for a sus pension of the draft, till the courts could de cide the question of legality. The same day, it seems, he went to New Brunswick, the next to Long Branch, where a despatch found him, and summoned him to the turbulent city on Tuesday morning. Here be issued a proclam ation, declaring the city under insurrection, and then went to the Park and made a speech. Addressing, the rioters as bis friends, be said he had come down from the quift country to see what alii this difficulty was aHqnt the draft. As they clamored somewhat, he added that he was hers to give them a test of his friendship, for “ he wished to state to them that he had sent his Adjutant-General to Washington, to have the draft suspended and stopped, and if they would wait till be returned, they should be-satisfied,” adding, “there was no occasion fo.r further resistance, as the draff bad not been enforced yet.” Finally, informing them that “ the safe keeping of property and persons rested with them,” he retired into the City Hall, and left them to go whooping up town to* improve the hint thus, perhaps, unwarily got off. Tbs sequel proved that they did not wait for news from Washington ar anywhere, and that they feltno special interest about the draft. They,were acting, in fact, as the'auxiliaries of the Southern rebellion, and encouraged by this proof of the timidity, if not s sympathy, of the authorities, they returned to the work of terror, of massacre, and rapine. Rebel Exaltation ever the Copperhead Riots- As might have been expected the rebels in the Sooth are jubilant over the ri'ote of the Copperheads in New York. The, Richmond Enquirer baa tbe following on the subject. Beginning op Chaos. —Biot, murder and con flagration have begun, in New York. It is a world’s wander that’ this good work did not commence long ago, and this excellent outbreak may be the opening scene of the inevitable rev olution which ie to tear to pieces that most rot ten society and leave the Northern half of the old American Union a desert of blood soaked; ashes. We bid it good speed. But all this 1 may have little or no effect on the war, at least for along time. Let us not deceive onrselves; for internal revolution and even utter ruin in a nation by no means weakens it for foreign ag gression, of which revolutionary France is a notable example. The news is obeering to us, indeed;; because, it portends the breaking down of tho whole Yankee society. Yet the process maybe long; and in the meantime the desper ate energy of their war for conquest of the Confederacy may grow more farinas for a sea son. No matter; we can at least now see.to the end of it This one- insurrection may be suppressed for the’ moment, but it will be the parent of other and still worse convulsions. Wo have but to persevere in our determined resistance, gird ourselves to the task of winnibg our independence more sternly than ever, yet a little while, and we shall see the giant, but hollow bulk of the Yankee nation bursting into frsgments and rushing down into perdition in flatnesand blood. Amen. [Prom the Richmond Examiner, July 18.] The Northern files receWedT last night con tain intelligence of a sufficient interest to de mand all the available space of this-journal.— The great riot of New York, possesses a politi cal and military, significance of tbe-bighest and most absorbing, character. Immediately after -tbs battle of Gettysburg, tbe Washington gov 'ernment issued an order for the peremptory draft of 300,000 men, under the conscription act of the Federal Congress. Hitherto this step had only been threatened, but now the of ficers of the law actually made it. The draft was made by lot at 1 the police offices for the different districts of New York, and the names of the persona drawn for the army advertised in tbs Herald. .The population then, for tbe first time, appeared, to have realized the fact, and an organized riot of themostextoßrive and determined character commenced. * * So tbe resistance to thb bas been successful. There will be no draft anywhere else. Com munities which have not tbe means of resist ance will, like New York, through their muni cipal bodies, pay the money. But in the West ern States, neither the money nor the men will be given. This affair is a revolution. We here get a glimpse of wbnt is slumbering under the shoddy, * What would have happened had Lee won the last day of Gettysburg 1 ? No one can doubt that tbe war would have ended in a month. Whatever contractors and office-bol-' ders pretend, lhe people of the North are tired of the war, and will no longer furnish army after army to be slaughtered for tbe fruitless purpose of destroying tbe Southern States and driving its population into exile. It is useless to indulge in unavailing regrets. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Preas.] THE BATTLE-FIELD OP GETTYBBtTEG. The battle-field j at Gettysburg is still visited by thousands. Men gather here from all parts of the Union; setae, merely tfe gratify their curiosity, come vjrith rbouyant spirits and a cheerful countenance, while many, alas 1 hun dreds are seen with a cate-worn expression and with tears in their sorrowing eyes. - How dif ferent must be thje feelings of these; persons 1 The former having heard the paeans of victory, all jubilant, resolve to view the ground where the palm was awarded, and where the invaders, “all that was.left! of them,” were sent reeling hack to their homes: the latter learning that some loved one, a kind father, a dear brother, or an affectionate; son, was there stricken down by the ruthless! hand of war, hasten to the place, as' if by instinct; sotae to soothe the pains of the wounded, others are roaming over the field, looking at every grave in search of the lifeless, mutilated, aid swollen form of lost. HOW THE BATTLE-FIELD LOOKS AT PRESENT. The past few days were again occupied in walking over the'field to mark the difference after more than three weeks bad elapsed. IVe took our start from Cemetery Hill, and passed over all our lines on the first day. Shells, solid shot, and bullets are still lying around, one would think as thick ns ever, although a great many persons have ever since the battle made it their business to hnnt ballets end sell them by the pound, j Many thousand pounds have been gathered and disposed of in this way.— Nearly every stranger returns from the field with his pocketsjheavy with lead. Government halt forbidden any of the relics to be removed, so whatever, visitors can conceal about their person, they are most likely to take with, them. All who come from a distance, natarally desire to return home with some trophy of war. On account of this propensity, some very amusing scenes are sometimes enacted. 1 Quite a number of those who come in from the country are not aware that these bro ken-implements'are “contraband of war,” so, in their innocence, they pick up a handful of bayonets, or sometimes tbey think it would be a capital idea to take along a good Enfield rifle; they shoulder arms, walk off coolly and exalt ing over their fortune, when all at once they are arrested in their triumphant march and de prived of their plunder. A close observer must notice an important \ fact in relation tothe number of shells found ; on both sides of the field. The ground oocn-' pied by our forces is literally strewn with nn-j exploded rebel shells, while along the Confed erate fortifications very few dan be found; bat the fields and the woods are all covered with fragments of' exploded shells. It is said, not one-sixth of tbe shells thrown by the rebels ex ploded; hence tbe greater destruction of life by our artillery from tbe same number of guns. One Would think, from the number of bullet holes in the trees all through the woods, that it was almost impossible for ..a-single man to es cape unhurt. On Wolfe’* bill, on our extreme right, where the rebels made so many unsuc cessful charges, we counted in a single tree but a foot in diameter over" seventy bullet-holes, thirty-four of which were within six feet of the ground. 1 i The field still contains many scenes of inter est ; the ground is yet coveted with knapsacks, broken guns, cartridge-boxes, broken cannon, wagons, rebel hats, boots, shoes, stockings, packs of playing-cards, -prayer books, bibles, etc., etc. Government wagons have ever since the fight been hauling away loads of whatever they can find of this description; but \wofe they to continue their labors for months to come, it would be impossible to clear this vast battle-ground of all its relics. We found still a number of rebels unbnried.. On a farm occupied by a Mr. Bose, we found no less than seven of those for" whom not even a covering of earth was given to hide their ghastly-looking forms. Others we found thrown between two rocks, and covered with a few large stones, and numbers over whom only a little, ground was thrown, their eyeless beads and livid feet still visible. Score's of dead horses are still scattered over the field, yet no effort is made to bury them, and no chlorates, no disinfecting agents of any kind are used. The. people of Gettysburg, and all those who visit there, must necessarily be exposed to the poisonens gases resulting from the decomposi tion of animal matter.

Tbo ladies of the town and vicinity deserve great credit for their kind assistance, not only making and sending a great many necessary articles, but. by going in person, and doing all they can to alleviate tbeauffering of the wounded. Wag on loads of good bread, cakes, wines, pillows, pads, shirts, nod whatever may be desirable to the wounded, are every day sent to the hospitals from the surrounding neighborhood. From York Sulphur Springs, a small town in Adama county, they send several loads of.provisions every day, and many of the young ladies in the place have exchanged-'their horiies of ease andluxnry for the watchful days and sleepless nights of the hospital. With-all the nonseioomess and pride of vic tory, it is atill jaiieart-rending sight to lookupon this great burying ground. Fields waving with luxuriant grain but a few weeks ago, have now been turned into one vast ‘sepulchre for the dead; woods in their primeval grandeur have been checked in their beautiful growth, and their tall Oaks have now become monuments to mark the resting-place of those who have been crashed beneath the deadly wheels of war; GxrrrsßOßO, July 28,1863.

Peter Astonished.—Oil Peter H—— lived in a one., story wooden house of not very ex tensive dimensions, and when it was subjected to the force of one of those hurricanes so nu merous of late years at the west, its powers., of resistance were insufficient to withstand so great a pressure, and. it yielded the point without a struggler-however, it was not- up set, nor torn to pieces, bat merely moved a few rods. In the course of thee journey tho stove was upset and the fire spilt oat,And the danger of conflagration imminent.. Old Peter was too much excited to notice the removal of: bis house, and seeing the necessity of immedi ately applying water to the banting embers on the floor, he seized a bucket and darted ont behind the house, when great was his astonish ment to find all the traces of his well obliter ated.

Friend Cobb: —Although we are notdoing much fighting, (sot yet having seen an armed rebel,) still I thought, perhaps, some' of your readers might hh glad to hear of the wherea bouts of the thirty-fifth. When-you last heard from us, we were encamped about two miles from Greenoastle, in a northerly direction.— On the morning of the 22d, we received march ing orders, and marched about one mile south of Gretntastle, to fill the place of a regiment of emergency men, who had been ordered home. Our march.was only a,pleasant, after breakfast walk, and before noon we were 'comfortably located in oar-new quarters. For the next week, nothing of moment occurred in our camp, save one of those accidents caused by carelessness in the use of firearms. While we were on hattallfon drill in the afternoon, I was somewhat surprised and not a little soared at heiaring a bullet whiz over our heads. We all began to compliment ourselves on the narrow ness of onr escape, when another messenger.of death came whistling through the air. arid lodged in the arm of a member of Co. B. Al though firing is strictly prohibited only when necessary, still there are some so headstrong or wilfuly disobedient that they will, fire at times, thereby not only breaking the mles, but en dangering the lives of those on duty." By the energetic proceedings of onr field officers, the offenders were brought to justice. The wo’nnd ed man is doing well, and we trnst will soon he able to join his company lA soldier’s'life, while in camp, is particular ly 1 dull and monotonous, and everything, that promises a little excitement, is eagerly caught up and told over and over, ’till that ‘which was nothing but a surmise in the first place, soon assumes a shape that stamps it as official, when in reality, the “powers t>at be,” have not even heard of it. jFor Some days before we left our camp near Greencaatle, we were favored with many and conflicting rumors about our being discharged, all coming, of course, from head quarters. But \ bn the 27th ult., bur anticipations of a speedy return home all vanished, when we received or ders to prepare to march with three days’ ra tions in our haversacks; and it was whispered that we were, going to Loudon, instead of ta king the. back track for Chambersbnrg. I do ndt wish to intimate that wa are particularly ' anxious to get home, but many of our men left their business in such a shape that their pres ence at home is very much needed. Those who left their farms, are very anxious to get home, if i they are not needed here. Soon after the order to march was given, the rain began to fall in torrents, and we were all completely saturated in a short time.
