FRASER SMITH, Chairman pro tem. Gao. W. RAMMERSLIT, Secretary. THE SITUATION. THE RETREAT OP LEE AOROWTHE POTOMAC The genius of a great leader is as well dis played in hie ability to secure the escape of his forces, when overtaken by disaster, as to fight them successfully. Gen. Lee, it now seems to be certain, has accomplished all this. He left Gettysburg precipitately. He took a straight road for the Potomac, thereby showing his anxiety to escape. But before he reached the banks of That then swollen river he began to entrench, as if to await battle. Had that battle been delivered to Lee as he was running from Gettysburg—had Meade followeJ in the rear of Lee, instead of describing a circle to catch him at a long run , when , he reached the Poto mac, we might have had a large portion of the rebel army as prisoners in the north, instead of tkat army now being on its victorious escape and almost triumphant march to Richmond. It is hard to believe that Lee has ercaped. It is offensive to think, - with our army so well reinforced, that there was any hesitancy to at tack Lee, even after Meade had come within striking distance of the rebel army. From all that we can now learn, there was such a heaitancy, as in a council of war held on Sunday night last, Gens. Pleasanton, Howard and Wadsworth urged an immediate attack on Lee, but the proposition. as opposed by all the other offi cers in council, and in deference to those, who were so largely in tile majority, Gen Mesde concluded to await an attack. He did accord ingly await such an attack, and in the man time, as now appears, Lee and his entire force have crossed over the Potomac. THE RACE TO RICIIMOND It is as well understood that Meade is across the Potomac as it is that Lee has forded that river, and now begins the race to Richmond. If Lee has, or gets, the start, he will shortly find' himself between ' two armies, and thus be compelled to confront two forces at the same time. General Dix, it is miderstood, has been in the neighborhood of Richmond for several days, with a force :suf.: fdient to have caused the liveliest apprehension of the rebels for the safety of their capital ; and if Dix was able to do thie, he will also be able to check Lee's advance long enough to afford Meade time to reach the rebels somewhere be tween the Potou3ac and Richmond, and give him the battle he declined on the north bank of the river. Thus, after all, the fact that he has crossed the river, is nothing in his favor That he was forced to do so by his own necessi ties, is adniitted on all hands ; and now it would seem that he was permitted to accomplish the feat ie compliance with the strategy of Meade, who was doubtless aware of the position into which Lee would be placed the moment he was on the road to Bichmond. But let us forbear comments and await events and developments PORT HUDSON AND CHARM! SION Port Hudson has been captured, with all its garrison. A renewed attack on Charleston has been begun, and has resulted in the capture of all but one of the batteries on Morris Island. Runt VsaActiv.---To show the recklessness of the Richmond press, in all its asseverations about the events of the war, we would state that the Enquirer, the orgin of. Jeff. Davis or his Secretary of State, on the Bth, positively denied any intention of _6lr. Stephens to pay a visit "to the Kingdom of 'Abraham." The report, the Enquirer says, originated from the simple fact that Stephens wag seen going to- ward the flag of truce boat with a portmanteau strapped behind E . It was on the 4th that Stephens reported to Admiral Lee in the James river, as the 'correspondence between them shows, and it was known at the time that he had baggage on board 'the boat, which indica ted be expected to remain near Uncle Abe for six months at least Tin TORT ORGAN, this morning, has nothing to say concerningits prayer that Pennsylvania might soon be'in a Condition similar to,that of New York; that 3i, that the KeYstone State might be controlled byat mob such as sacked 4walljng houses, assailed and roped , private citisens,suid murdered those whoSe'SWOrn duty it is to `enforce the law. The Tory Ofidn must eta its praying before it does its drinking if it desires to pray , sensibly. 'lke Fate of the Sympathizer. As the gleamings cf victory begin to dawn on the land, and the power and majesty of the Government aroma their proper sh po, no class of men in the country occupy a worse petition than the Northern sympathizer with Southern treason. For the mass of men who engaged as soldiers in the rebel army, we can now, in the hour of victory, (eel less of resent ment and more of pity e than we can for the wretches in the loyal States who made use of their social safety and political privilege to give aid and comfort to the rebel government and army. When the leaders of the Democratic party started in their opposition to the National Administration, and when they attempted by artifice and argument to obstruct and embarrass the policy to put darn the rebellion, it was with as direct a purpose to destroy the Govern ment as was the same design the object of the rebellion itself. When the Government was most embarrassed the Democracy of New York were most offensive in their treatment of its Constitutional representatives. When the re bellion seemed most likely to succeed, the mocratic leaders of the North were most zealous in their denunciation of the acts devised for its suppression. When Lee and his satelites were marching in triumph to the invasion of Penn sylvania, a Democratic Convention assembled in Harrisburg, from the proceedings of which the broadest and the strongest inference of aid and comfort could be drawn fore the rebel cause, while some of the delegates to that Convention actually denied the ability of the Army of the Potomac to resist invasion. All the acts of the Democratic leaders were in concert with and in sympathy for treason. These lead ers sought the success of the slaveholders' re bellion merely to gratify a partizan hatred of those in pciWer at Washington. The Woods of New York, Woodwards of Pennsylvania and Vallandighams of Ohio, labored to overthrow the Administration, not that they had a coun try to defend or a principle to advocate, but solely and only because they had a party to maintdn. National honor, unity and peace were all prostituted to the uses of party, until the partizan passions of the Democratic leaders assumed a worse shape than even the worst purposes of the armed - leaders of the rebellion. What has been the result of all this double dealing on the part of the Democratic leaders? Let the flames with which an Incendiary mob light the streets of New York city answer. Of what profit has been this teaching of the Demo cratic leaders ? Let the ruin and devastation of certain parts of the same city answer. What has been gained by this Democratic duplicity? Let the blood which yet flows in New York testify. All this has been the result of, the doctrine taught by the Democratic leaders. The mob was assured that laws passed to insure 1 1 the public safety, were unconstitutional, were oppressive on the poor man, and should be op pored. Democratic teaching has bad its re ward. Democratic sympathy for rebellion has borne its fruit. Henceforth it will not be hard to tell who are for and who are opposed to the government. —Need we attempt to write the fate of those who have thus been conspicuous in working evil to the countly ? No. Time will produce the redress for these evils. Peace will bring its re wards for these men. The judgment of the people, when calmness and reason again pre vail, will award a proper punishment for the men who strove to make use of the misfortunes of the nation to ensure its irretrievable ruin: The fate of all traitors is the same ; and we can therefrre safely estimate the fate of the pre sent Democratic leaders by that which overtook Benedict Arnold. As his name is now a subject for hissiog scorn and contempt, so . will the names of the haderS of the remOcretic patty become hereafter. - Proceedings of the City Council: We direct the - attention of our city readers to the proceedings of Council, as they have been reported and are printed in to day's Thurman. It will bo seen-that one at least of our city fathers was didposed to be liberal, or inclined to play the part of, a demagogue, when he of fered to appropriate .$20,000 to pay for certain exemptions from the draft—and it will also be seen that Council has not been impressed with the immaculate greatness of His Honor, the Mayor, General Roumfort, as it-absolutely refused toyass a resolution complimenting him for his services as Chief Magistrate of, the city, while at the same time it reminded him that hereafter Council would be the judge of the necessity to employ additional police force. It seems that the Mayor, in order to satisfy a few of the hungry followers that infest his path, commissioned them as special police, at a time, too, when the military author Ales were taking care of the peace of the State. Capital. This piece of extravagance was justly rebuked by Council, and we trust that His Honor:, the Mayor, will profit by the lesson thus taughtlilm by his partizan friends. • • Missouri Emancipation. The radical emancipationists of *Missouri are dissatisfied with the amendment - to the , State Comtitution, made by the, late State COnven don. It defers the day-to July 4th, Ha= too long. They fear that some dodge till ba made to evade it before that time. -We think the radicals are too fast ; they should satis fied with the prospective freedom of the State, though thirteen years distant; revolutions can never go backward. By the ordinance, scant' ties will be severed gradually, and without in .convenience or convulsions. - • . Tne MOl3 OF NEW Yost is traced, by some, to the influence, partially, of the gold.brokers. These harpies, in conjunction with the coppek head leaders, incited the riot, to give an up. ward tendency to the gold market. It is well known that the price of gold, since Meade's victories, has declined considerably, and it therefore needed something to be dpne to im pair public confidence in the Government, in order to insure tie depreciation of public se caritipi, and thus of course increase the irice of gold. It was fit that such a work should have been reserved for the harpies - who infest and now control New York. Ifut juwe 112 idea that this result will last long afteti the strong power of the Goveriament hae been pro perly used for its suppression. John Brottgh on “Peace” Democrats. CMEAT 1.:N107 IinETING AT VALLANDIGIIA The Union enacting held at Day ton, Ohio, on the 4th of July, wss most enthubtast . c. John Brcugh and Col. Chao. Andenon, Union can didates for governor and lieutenant governor, made speeches. Mr. Brough was introduced by the chairman as "the next Governor of Ohio," and congratulated the vast multitude that the restoration of the country to its former unity and glory was near at hand. After de nouncing the rebellion as it deserves, he added: f‘This is not of our seeking, and we have.not been parties to it." Mr. Brongh paid his respects to the "peace" democrats in the following terms: "Your celebrated Peace Convention of New York passed its peace resolutions, which wan dered down into Dixie, and then came back to you spurned and spit upon. Next your Peace Convention of Ohio passed Otis resolutions, and sent them down to Dixie, and they were spurned more fiercely than those that went be fore, and well they might be, for they were not up to the New York standard. [Laughter.] Now, my Democratic friends, how many of you have taken and read those twenty- three reso lutions? If any, what have you found? You have found all of them negative in char acter. They are against the war, they are against tie prosecution of the war, they are against the Administration, they are against military arrests, they are ti3ainst military Prosecutions, they are against every thing they could find to allege against the government cf the'North. But there is not one line or syllable condemnatory of this rebellion, or of the men who put it in force. Not one single word I Your own government is de nonnped, quarreled with and proclaimed the Meat tyrannical; your own people are maligned and abused, but not one word against those men who struck down the best government the world ever saw, and who are seeking to perpetuate an oligarchy. [Long and continued applause.] Did these leaders—for understand me, when speak of this matter I, speak of leaders not of -the masses, for my experience in the Democratic party is, that the masses are as honest as any people that ever walked on the earth—did these leaders who drew up, these resolutions, wish to conceal the fact that they were sympathizers with this rebellion, and that they were opposed to putting it down ? Undoubtedly they were sympathizers, but they lacked that great ele ment of character which belongs to every man who is a'man—they lacked the courage to say so; hut they left it on the face of the resolutions so plain that be who runs may read." VICIBTISG, DEMOCRATS Mr Brough continued : "Every gallant man who is prosecuting the war in the lead of the army on the blocdy plains of Perrusjlvania Tennessee or Mississip pi, is a Democrat, bred and born. [Cheers.]— My friend Thurman, in-a speech the other day, said that WClellan was removed because be was a Democrat, while Rosecrans, who was a Repub lican, was reaping all the glories of the war. [Laughter.] I am sorry that brother Tar man has not read history better than that. [Renewed laughter.] Bless my soul, Mosey has always been a Democrat, and a worker in the party. Very many of the men in the ranks are Democrats, and while they are fighting the battles of the country, you stay at home carp ing, and say you cannot do anything because Republicans are at the head of the government. That is not worthy of you. And when a man comes and puts that argument into your ear, you should put another down his throat. I leave you to determine what that should be?: -[Loud and continued applause.] If you say, we ehall not, execute a law because it was not passed by a Congress which had not a majority of our po litical party, how long will we remain a country? Are you prepared to say that any law passed by a majority of your Legislature, that is not of your party, shall not receive your support? If you are prepared to say this thing by word, or -thought, or act, then, you area secessionist as hiitet z as any' man armed agabisttheMited, Stales-Iw' the, South. Yon are aiming at the destruction of '`your the moment you allow fealty to party to usurp the place of obedience to it and of the duty you owe to the constituted authorities of the country.

While loyal men are leaving New York to defend the Union, th copperhead arithorities with the copperhe: leaders in that State are urging the mobs t. , revolt and resist the drafting officers is the discharge of their duty.

As Tau soldiers of the Army of the Potuninc, according to a correspondent of a Democratic newspaper, seem to be under the impression thaf Gen.

Capture of 500 Rebel Deserters ARMY OF TEE POTOMAO, J9ly 14 The first news of the retreat of Lee and his army into Virginia, was received at Hagerstown at four o'clock this morning, from a citizen who lived within their lines. General Kilpatrick, commanding a cavalry division at that point, soon had his men on the road, and reached Williamsport at seven o'clock, where he found five hundred rebel soldiers, who had deserted. The news reached General Meade's head quarters at 5 o'clock, when General Bawd's division of cavalry was ordered to Palling Waters, where they engaged and captured a brigade of rebels under General Pettigrew, who was killed. The position of the rebels was naturally strong, but their works were not of much ac count, consisting principally of hurriedly con structed rifle pits.

Naw Yost, July 14 —Midnight.—The mob is now stated to be approaching a building on Worth street containing 5,000 pounds of pow der. It is guarded by a small force of soldiers and three cannon, The ringleader of the mob has been shot. • In the afternoon about four hundred citizens were sworn in as special policemen. Police Commissioner Acton received an anonymous letter threatening his life. A rumor prevailing of an intended attack on the Mayor's office, a force of police was detailed to guard it. About 2 r. as. a crowd gathered in Forty-sixth street, who appeared to have determined upon an attack on the but!ding corner of Forty seventh street and Fifth avenue. They were armed with revolvers, muskets, clubs, &a. Company F, 12th Regulars, arrived and rushed upon the rioters with bayonete. Cold steel broke the mass, who 11?.d in all directions Some of them were wounded, and one soldier was hurt by a stone. In the Broome and Pitt street fight, already reported; five or six only were killed, and several wounded. The fight in the Second Avenue was very bloody. 'I he mob carried the armory by storm. The Eighteenth ward police attempted to re-take it, but were driven off. A detachment of reg ulars, under Capt. Franklin, and a strong force of police, worsted the mob terribly, capturing the armory. A volley from the military killed and wounded 15 of the rioters, and the street was soon cleared. In the afternoon an attack was anticipated on General Wool's headquarters, but it was not made. Attempts were made to get up a riot in the Nineteenth ward, but they failed. An attempt was made to get up another ne gro hanging case, but no subject was found for the hellish purpose.

TELE RIOT STILL IN PROGRESS CONTINUED DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY A Large Number of Negroes Killed =I Nsry Yens., July 15—noun.—The rioters Isst night visited several houses of ill-fame in Green wich street, burned one, killed one man, and gutted about a dozen other holism The rolice did all in their power, and firmly test off the ruffians. This morning a small iow occurred in Cedar street, contiguous to the above locality, but a liberal dispensation of police clubs disperredthe ruffians. Quits a serious riot oxurred on Staten Island 'At night. A band of ruffians 600 strong, roamed in detached bands over the island, hunting negroes ostensibly, but really bent on plunder. Several negro houses were burned, their occupants fleeing to the woods. Six. ne ros were killed. Various persons were notified hat their homes would be burned. The taitroad station at_ Vanderbilt landing was burned. Drinking shops were deepened and gutted, and a perfect reign of terror pre vailed. No private dwellings were destroyed, al though deep threats were made against the residence of Mr. Haverick, one of the editors of the Pad, and others. The citizens are arm ing, and a detachment of the Eighth regiment with two howitzers, have been sent down. It is reported that there is considerable dis turbance in Brooklyn to-day. One negro house on Columbia street was destroyed; and a few other houses on Faller street were pillaged. The negroes are being terribly maltreated. It is reported this morning that grape and canister were freely used last night against the rioters. There were several fires during the night in various parts of the city, nearly all, however, being smell houses. An attack was made on some louses on Grammercy park; including the house of Dudley Field, from which a volley of musketry was poured into the villains, scattering them. Quite a number of troops are arriving, and tome batteries of artillery have reached the city. The general impression at this hour (noon) is that the worst is over, the mob fearing the ar rival of tried troops from the south. ' A large number of families have removed from the city, and the miller continues un abated. Telegi aphic communication with the east has not yet been renewed. Two hotels on Courtland street were some what damaged, especially the bar rooms. The Hudson River railroad trains came only to Yonkers, the track on this side being torn up.

THE VERY LATEST. 2 o'cr_ocK, r, it., July 16.—The Mayor has is sued a proclamation, announcing that the riot has partially subsided, and that the remnants of the mob now only seek plunder. He calls upon the citizens to form 'patrols, and orders that all lines of omnibuses, railroads and telegraphs must be put in operation imme diately, and be fully protected by the military. The laws must and shall be preserved, and the offenders pursued and punished. A dispatch from the Secretary of War to Mayor Opdyke says that five New York city regiments have been ordered home. That the retreat of Lea is a rout with much heavier loss tcpthe rebels than was at first supposed. He also confirms the good news from Charleston. Charlegal% Again Attacked.
