Bearing Fruit
When the New York Herald and World, in
conjunction with Fernando Wood and Governor
Seymour, began their crusade on the govern
ment, the deliberate purpose they had in view,
was the encouragement of the slave holders'
rebellion. Fernando Wood represents the
Democratic leaders of New York city. Gov.
Seymour speaks for the Democracy of the State
of New York. Both these miserable dema
gogues have advised the mob in more than one
instance, to the identical work in which it was
engaged yesterday, and therefore the bloodshed
and incendiarism which startled the people of
New York city with horror, yesterday, can be
traced directly to the Governor of New York,
and indirectly to the tendency of the entire
Democratic organization. The riot in New
York yesterday, may be regarded as nothing
more than a culmination of modern Democracy.
It does not astonish us, because we have been
carefully watching the growth of the feeling
which gave fury to the mob in that city—a
feeling the same as that which now animates
the traitors of the south. In fact, the leaders
who counselled this outbreak, are akin to the
same imperious wretches in the south who are
now in arms against the government. They
are the diisatisfied leaders of the Democratic party,
using the mob to destroy a government they cannot
control. What matters it, then, whether loyal
men are called on to contend with them in
the streets of New York or before the forti
fications on the South Mountain. The over
throw of traitors in New York or Penn
sylvania, or the treason in any of the free
States, is just as essential to the safety of the
government as is the overthrow of treason
in any of the slave States. The government
will discover this fact, sooner or later. It will
discover that all its armies are not needed in the
south, that its gibbets for the hanging of trai
tors should not only be erected where treason
is open and arrayed in arms and defiantly march
ing beneath banners inscribed with the emblems
of blood for the overthrow of the government.
The law must now be vindicated where it has
long had its- most deadly foe—in the north,
where the cowardly abettors of treason have
been so long at work thwarting the government
in every effort it has yet made to crush rebellion
in the South.
—That the riot in New York is the result of
the deliberate teachings of the leaders of the
Democratic party, every sensible man in the
land will admit. That teaching is in compliance
with an explicit understanding had between the
Isrit-rareflikmxitaxanar2.ualiartv_incl south.
the victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. It
is in accordance with the long cherished purpose
of the same men at some propiticui hour, to
strike the governmenka fatal blow. The repre
sentatives of that government ha'ee Bean, the
preparation for this hellish purpose, but we have
seen no counter preparation to meet tie Ctisis
when it came. That crisis is here now, and it
will be met by the people—met, if the streets
of New York are made to run red with the
blood of every drunken ruffian who has joined
in this mob for the defiance of the law and the
assassination of those who are delegated fin its
enforcement.
A Strain for an Outbreak.
The Tory Organ, this morning, groans with
two columns of as arrant nonsense, transparent
falsehood, and pitiful hypocrisy, as ever flowed
through the medium of that treasonable publi
cation. This immense leader was written in
response to the action of the drunken mobs
whom Fernando Wood and Governor Seymour
encouraged in the assassination of the officers
of the law, and the burning of property at the
time devoted to the public service in the city
of New York. During the sensation created by
the Democratic outrage in New :York, the
Tory Organ here deemed it an auspicious hour
to urge its followers to the perpetration of like
deeds. It does this by its appeals to the pas
sions of the brutal--by its panderings to the
ignorant—and by its usual store of lying in
sinuations against the Government and ifs law
officers. The results hcped to be achieved, are
the perpetration of scenes similar in bloody
ferocity to those which crimsoned the streets of
New York, yesterday, with innocent blood. Its
upholders - in this city, have already boasted
that such would be the result of an attempt to
enforce the draft here—and that such, in fact,
has been the meaning of every article referring
to this subject published in the Tory Organ for
the last six months. 'Yet, after all this coun
selling on the part of the Tory Organ, it
winds up its rigmarole cf personal abuse
and appeals to the mobs to revolt, with
the dedaration that it is in favor of enforcing
the law. It indulges this expression, as if this
community would accept any pledge of its own
in proof of its sincerity or integrity. When the
time comes, we shall see. what part the Tory
Organ will take in enforcing the law. If those
who control its columns are not careful, the
part they may be called on to sustain, will be
that which furnishes the neck for the hang
man's halter. .
0, for the advent of a Woodward to put an
end to this grovelling position of our glorious
old Commonwealth 1 0; for that glad and
speedily approaching day When she will take
her stand properly and proudly by the side of
New York, with her admirable Seymour, and
of New Jersey, with her sterling Parker ! —Tory
Organ, this morning.
Another prayer from the Tory Organ ! A
prayer as unfortunate as have been all the at=
tempts of this same sheet for a year past to
conceal its treasonable propensities. New York
is now, convulsed with the orgies of a drunken
mob, led on by such men as Governor Seymour
and Fernando Wood, to the assassination of
the ofEcers-of •the law, and the destruction of
the lives and property of innocent men and
women. Tais is the condition of affai , s which
the Tory Organ implores may in Penn . -
sylvanla. What better proof need the loyal
'men of the State of Pennsylvania have that
the election of Woodward' will he the signal
for riot and bloodshed throughout • the Com
monwealth ?
Pennsylvania.
Our New York cotemporaries are fast coming
to their senses, and are therefore beginning to
do Pennsylvania justice. The Tribune of yester
day says that there have been unnecessarily,
but not unusually, harsh things said against
Pennsylvania, in regard to her want of prepa
ration for the recent rebel invasion. The dis
tinction should be drawn between the last Cop
perhead Legislature and the entire action and
spirit of the people during the war, from the
time when the Pennsylvania soldiers were the
first to hurry to Washington at the breaking
out of hostilities, till the present moment.
There is among the loyal States no large State,
or aggregation of the smaller States, which has
made greater contributions of troops, or suffer
ed more in the war, than Pennsylvania. Up
to the beginning of this year Pennsylvania fur
nished over two hundred thousand troops, not
including the fifty thousand militia under the
call of 1862. Before the battle of Gettysburg
thirty-seven thousand Pennsylvanians had laid
down their lives for their country I Pennsylva
nia is the only State which has organized at her
own expense a first-class reserve force amount
ing - to nearly sixteen thousand men. This or
ganization acted under Major Gen. McCall,
Brig. Gen. Meade, Brig. Gen. Reynolds, and Brig.
Gen. Ord. It was ready for service two years
ago; and by the act of the Legislature author
izing its existence (under the Three Million State
Loan) it was for the support of the military
forces of the State or of the United States. It
was soon absorbed by the Army of the Potomac,
and variously distinguished itself. The glorious
death of Reynolds, and the glorious work and
position of Meade, are proofs of the skill shown
in the selection of the officers from among the
Pennsylvanians commanding the Reserve.
As the.first reserve of Pennsylvania was ta
ken by the General Government, it is probable
that a second or third 'ono would have been
equally needed out of the State under bad gen
eralship, and the State left as defenceless as
she was at the opening of the late invasion. No
worse spirit, however, than that which led to
the election of such men as Seymour, Wood,
and the like, prevailed in the Legislature of
Pennsylvania ; and that, and the good nature
of the General Government in permitting the
fullest expansion to copperhead ideas in both
States, was the cause of the successfal invasion
of Pennsylvania for a few days. But had the
reserve force been allowed to act as a reserve,
in accordance with its name—and not fought
through the battles of the Peninsula, up to
that of Chancellorsville—no rebel troops would
have invaded Pennsylvania, either in the cav
alry raid of 1862, or the general attack of
1863. The last call of Governor Curtin, for
sixty thousand additional troops, too, let it be
borne in mind, has been quickly responded to.
The three months men are pouring in as fast
as they can be enrolled.

_.•.:_
The New York Pod Of last evening furnishes
us the following particulars of the riot in that
city. The account gives the news up to two
o'clock of yesterday afternoon, the 18th inst.:
The draft was recommenced this moiling at
the headquarters of the Ninth Congressional
district, corner of Third avenue and Forty-sixth
street. The wheel had been revolving about
twenty minutes when the building in whioh the
officer was was attacked by a mob armed with
clubs, stones, brickbats and like missiles; but
no firearms. The building, a four-story brick
house, the upper s'ories of which were occupied
by families, was defaced, the windows broken,
doors smashed and furniture destroyed.
The mob rushed luta the enrolling office,
seized all the machinery and papers, records,
lists, &c., of the officers, except those contained
in a large safe.
The_ building was then set on fire, and at
eleven o'clock was in flames, with every pros
pect that the, block of which it forms part will
be burned down. This done, the mob proceed
ed to destroy the police , telegraph in Third
avenue, hy_ cutting down the poles and carrying
off he wire.
One of the draft officers was set upon, with
. stones and clubs, and is , so much injured kW,
ho will probably lose his life. Several other
persons were injured, but not seriously. The
mob, which numbered some three or four hun
dred activeand determined rioters, accompanied
by avast crowd of excited people, next pro
ceeded to other parts of the city, expressing a
determination to destroy every building in
which the draft or enrollment offices are situa
ted, and especially the office of Provost Marshal
Manierre, at No. 1090 Broadway, where the
drawing was appointed to begin this morning,
?ARTICIILARS OF THE RIOT -THE DRAFT MOH.
NBIVOED
The drawing by Provost Marshal Jenkins did'
not commence punctually at 9 o'clock this
morning, as was intended.• The Provost Mai•
ehal had received intimations that riotous de
monstrations were probable and he according
-Iy-senty-sent to Acting Assistant Provost Marshal
General Nugent and the police for a' fOrce
wide's: would be sufficient to suppress- any dis
order.
At 10„,o'doz,k, however, although Orders had
been given to the military and to the police of
the different wards, no assistance had arrived
except ten or twelve policemen. The Provost
Marshal, at that hour, decided to commence
the drawing. The:great wheel was placed Upon
the table ; the blindfolded man took hie, posi
tion beside it ; the man at'the wheel was ready
to perform his duty, and the Provost Marshal
announced that the draft in the Twenty-secckid
ward, which was begun on Saturday, would'
then be: concluded. The wheel began-=to re
volve amid the somowlutt excited. demOnstra
tions of the crowd of spectators, (numbering
from one to two hundred persons ;) and the
draft proceeded for about twenty minut,s, when
the more formidable riot took plac...
E=
This moruing Homo of the laborer; employed
by two or three of the railroad companies and
in some of the foundr los, assisted by a gang of
desperate men, went to different establishments
in the upper wards where., large numbers of
workmen are employed, add compelled them,
by threats in some instances, to come their
work. The rioters thus gained large accessions
of strength, and marched through the streets
yelling and threatening, and brandishing their
clubs and other weapons.
At twenty minutes past ten o'clock the crowd
marched down third avenue and congregated
opposite the enrolling office.
Meanwhile, the draft was proceeding; though,
when the rioters had taken their position in
front of the building the operations of the offi
cers wero interrupted by the noise and the loud
threats of ruffians inside of the building, who
soon afterwards took their positions with the
principal rioters in the street.
A VOLLEY OR STONES
The first demonstration of violence was made
immediately thereafter. A volley of stones
crashed through the open doors and large win
dows of the enrolling office (which had been
constructed for a store on the first floor of the
building.) One or two persons inside the office
were struck by stones, and other persons—
among whom were the Provost Marshal, who
had maintained his position on the table where
the wheel stood, and the commissioner, surgeon
and other officers of the draft, including Deputy
Provost Marshal Vanderpoel and the reporters
for the newspapers—at once made their escape
from the room to other parts of the building
and to the rear. The Provost Marshal, who
would probably have been, murdered if caught,
was assisted over the wall of the back yard.
THE DEMONSTRATION ON THE BUILDING
When the room had been cleared the rioters
approached with their clubs and with their
hands full of stone and bricks, , and began to
destroy the windows which had escaped the
previous volley.
When, however, some of the more excited
persona in the crowd had entered the office and
begun the work of demolishing the machinery
of the draft and the furniture in the room, the
building was occupied by very large numbers,
who seized upon the lists, records, blanks, and
the great books in which the names of the
drafted men were to be engrossed, bore them
into the street with load demonstrations, tore
them into fragments, and scattered them over
the neighborhood. For many rods above and
below the building, and in Forty-sixth street,
the ground was almost covered with the blanks
and the other papers.
Everything in the enrolling office was utterly
destroyed, except the large safe whith was
understood to contain the record of the men
drafted on Saturday, and which the mob could
not open.
The men were excited beyond description,
and endeavored to pound down the supports of
the building with sticks of timber.
THE BUILDING ON FIRE.
Shortly after this 'destruction, a smoke issued
from the rear of the room, and a great shout
was raised by the crowd when they saw that
they building was on fire.
They 4hen shook hands with each othei
and gave various indications of unbounded de
light.
The fire burned slowly, but when it reached
the second story the demonstrations of the
crowd were renewed with greater intensity, and
rollirtg Ofticiii laid "ill persons Jultry*--AVISL.-
connected with the draft.
It was understood that some of the enrolling
officers were in the upper part of the building,
and though several families of women and
children occupied that part, stones and other
missiles were thrown through the windows
ATTEMPT TO SACK THE HOMING
Wane the building was burning the crowd
discovered the side door and attempted to enter.
Those at the door called vociferously to their
companions to follow and rushed up the stairs.
But few, however, were permitted to ascend ;
the police assuring them that none but women
and children were there.
THE POLICE AND THE MIITTART
The ponce force then ready for duty consist
ed of only about twenty men, and nearly all
were drawn up in. Potty-sixth street, a few rods
from the burning building. They made no
effort whatever to stop the operations of the
mob, and would have been unable to act effec
tively, in any event, on account of their small
numbers.
It is said that details of policemen have been
ordered from the different wards of the city,
and that about two hundred were on their way
at eleven o'clock to the scene of the distur
bance.
Orders were also given to the military, and
shortly after eleven - o'clock a small force was
marching uplThird avenue.
MayorOpdyke, on• receiving information of
the riot, communicated with General Sanford,
and preparations were at once made to send a
sufficient force to quell the disturbance.
In the meantime, however, the rioters acted
without the slightest restraint from the au
thorities.
8L0451r. OF BUILDINGS ON ma
During all this time the fire in the enrolling
office spread to the upper part of the building
and to the adjoining buildings, and we hear
that the entire block was in flames at twelve
o'clock.
The families in the upper part of the building
on the corner of Forty-sixth street threw oat a
small part of their property and swiped with
their lives.
THE TELEGRAPH DESTROYED.
Two or three men with axes attacked the tele
graph poles in Third avenue, and at 11 o'clock
two of them bad been cut down And the wires
destroyed.
A MURDER ,ATTEMPTED
When the crowd attempted to enter the upper
part of the building, Deputy Provost Marshal
Edward , S. Vanderpool boldly stepped to the
front and, assuring the rioters that they already
had possession of all the drafting paraphernalia,
asked them to Withdraw or to do something to
prevent the destruction of the families in the
upper part of the building.
Suspecting from his uniform that he was one
"of the drafting officers, one of the rioters seized
him and struck him. Mr. Tanderpoel merely
shook off his assailant, and in a pacific manner
renewed his request, when the act of the first
rioter attracted the attention of the remainder,
and a number of them surrounded him.
They struck him with their hands and with
stones and, seeing that he could not resist them
he withdrew to the place where thepolice were
posted. The rioters followed him with great
clubs, and the men, who were desperate, beat
him upon the body and head. His head wa s
so badly bruised that blood flowed profusely,
when he was thrown down and kicked.
- He afterwards escaped by the aid of the po
lice and one or two of his friepds ; but the
rioters followed him, striking him with clubs.
He is so badly injured that there is but little
probability of his recovery.
OTHER INJURIES
Several persons were Injured by stones, and
there are rumors that men have Mace teen
killed.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON, A. J. C.
EXTENDED ACCOUNT OP THE RIOT
Nsw Youtr, July 13-6 o'clock, P. c.—Up to
this hour the rioters appear to be increasing in
numbers. The following is a brief resume of
their operations :
It appears that there must have been a con
cocted plan of resistance to the conscription,
as all the workmen on the different railroads
combined, together with those of certain fac
tories, and marched to the building, on the
Third avenue, where the drafting for the Ninth
district had commenced. •
At about 10i o'clock this morning the crowd
rushed in and re zed the books and, pal era, and
used great violence towards the officers and re
porters presmt, who managed to escape, with
the exception of Assistant Deputy Vanderpoel,
who was badly beaten beyond recovery.
Soon after the building was burned, the de
mons meanwhile stoning the upper part of the
building, where some half dozen families lived.
The adjoining building caught fire, and was
also destroyed, the ruffians shouting with
frenzied joy while it was in flames. Women
were also in the mob inciting them.
All the horse cars were stopped, and the
drivers taken off by the crowd. The police were
overpowered and terribly beaten. A blacksmith
shop near by was demolished, and its owner
nearly killed.
A detachment of seventy-five of the provost
guard arrived at the scene at noon, and drew
up in - line between Forty-fourth andForty : fifth
streets, on Third avenue. They were quickly
surrounded by an intensely excited mob, who
stoned and jeered them. The soldiers fired into
the ruffians, when they were set upon and driven
off, and pursued for about a mile. One of the
soldiers was caught, and actually beaten to
death by both men and women fiends. Another
was nearly torn to pieces, thrown over a preci
pice, and his body stoned until half burled.
Soon after a squad of police arrived,but were
driven off—one of their number being torn to
pieces and kicked to a jelly. The stores in the
vicinity were soon closed by the owners, and
the riotore had everything their own way. The
firemen were not allowed to play on the fire.
The most horrible and beastly outrages have
been perpetrated. Some twelve or thirteen po
licemen have been so brutally treated that their
recovery is almost hopeless. No doubt exists
as to the death of Superintendent Kennedy.
At about 3 o'clock this afternoon the mob
Moved further down town, when the firemen
went to work on the. buildings on Third aye
, , ,rtained that a house had
the pangs of confinement, and although w
olence was perpetrated, a number of articles
were stolen.
At 2 o'clock, Mry Howard, late city editor of
the New York Zones, was attacked by the mob,
Who cried out "Here's an Abolitionist!" and
were about to hang him to a lamp-post, when
their attention was diverted, and he ran for his
life. The crowd chased him, and,struck him
on• the back of his head and the face with
heavy atones, stunning him for a time. They
then robbed him of his watch and chain,
diathond breastpin, and thirty-three dollars in
money. He was with difficulty rescued, and
taken to an engine house—the doors of which
resisted the efforts of the mob. He was finally
taken to a more secure place of safety. His in
juries are serious. "
The mob tore up iron fences to arm them
selves, and at about three o'clock the ruffians,
accompanied by their female abettors, armed
with clubs, pistols, bars of iron and other wea
pons, marched up the First avenue, threatening
all connected with carrying into effect the con
scriptien act.
The arsenal was threatened, but the presence
of a detachment of the 10th volunteers has
prevented an attack. Howitzers are stationed
there and at the 7th Regiment arraory, loaded
with canister, which will be used on the first
demonstration.
The whole block on Third avenue was burn
ed. A person named Andtews, of Virginia,
who has lately harangued the meetings at
Cooper Institute, seemed to be the leader of the
mob, and addressed than near the ruins, while
the destruction of the - buildings was going on.
lle denobnced the President and advised the
people to organize to resist the draft. The
howling devils, after this harangue, proceeded
to the large and beautiful dwelling at the cor
ner of Forty-seventh street and Lexington
avenue, and completely sacked it. The li
brary, glasses, parlor and bedroom furniture,
were thrown into the street. The house was
then fired and burned to the ground.
In the Eighth district, the provost marshal
adjourned the draft till tomorrow.
A detachment of a hundred regulars arrived
at about three o'clock, and reported to Provost
Marshal Nugent. They were sent to the arsenal,
the excitement around which is great. •
At about four o'clock some three thousand of
the armed mob marched down the Fifth avenue,
groaning the conscription. Governor Beymour
will probably arrive this evening.
Mayor Opdyke has issued a proclamation
against , the rioters, and declaring that order
shall be preserved.
Measures are being taken by General Wool,
which will' probably prove effectual in quelling
the rioters.
Every negro who has been seen by the mob
has been either "murdered or horribly beaten.
Some twenty have thus far been killed.
One or two newspaper offices have been
threatened.
The citizens are arming:
The colored orphan' asylum has been burned
by the mob. • -
Allerton's- Hotel, at Bull's Head, has been
burned.
When the mob was passing down Second
avenue, somebddy in the armory fired on them
from a window. `TI eythen fired and destroyed
the building.
STATE AFFAIRS THIS MORNING

Certain parts of the city have been visited
where Irish laborers are employed and they have
been induced to join the mob.
Several detachments of soldiers are reported
to have fired into the mob, but very foolishly
used blank cartridges which only exasperated
the mob.
The most atrocious robberies have been com
mitted in the streets by ruffians who take any
respectable looking men by force and rob them
of their money, &c., and then beat them.
The mob attacked Mayor Opdyko's house,
but the citizens and police rallied and drove
them off.

It is understood that Mayor Opdyke has de
legated all necessary power to act in the city to
Governor Seymour, and the latter will soon
issue a suitable proclamation calling upon the
rioters to desist from their illegal acts, and
leave to the State authorities such proceedings
as may be deemed proper to test the legality of
the conscription law. Governor Seymour ad
dressed an excited crowd from the City Hall
steps at noon, urging them to disperse and use
all endeavors to repress illegal acts.

July 13, 8.30 A. It.—A messenger from Gover
nor Curtin, arrived this
_morning, states that
General Couch has formed *junction with our
right, which rests northeast of Hagerstown,
and that point is secure against an attack by
General Lee. He also reports that General
Lee has a bridge, composed of thirteen boats,
across the centre of the river, continued thence
to both shores by a trestlework supporting
long timbers.
Our siege and other heavy guns have been
sent to the front, and planted in the best pos
sible positions commanding the bridges.
CAREZOWN, Md., July 12, via Hagerstown,
July I.—Hagerstown was occupied at about 9
o'clock this morning by General Kilpatrick's
cavalry, after a slight resistance. The object
of the enemy in reoccupying the town for so
short a space of time, is partially explained
from the fact that they removed from that
'vicinity a large amount of rails, which 'it is
supposed are to be used for erecting fortifica
tions between that place and Williamsport.
The rebels are in large force near the - town on
the Williamsport and Clear Spring roads. Re
connoissances madeito day by our cavalry forces
under Colonel Wynkoop and Captain Boyd,
show that the rebels have strong picket guards
north and west of the town.
The armies of Meade and Conch - are within a
few hours' march of Lee's army: Lee's inten
tion will drobably be more fully developed to
morrow.
