Great Draft Riot In N. Y. City.
The World says : A most formidable and
widely extended riot occurred in this city
yesterday, incited by opposition tc the draft.
The riot commenced in the morning at the
corner of Forty third street and Third ave
nue, where the drafting for the Nineteenth
ward was going on, and the building in which
the enrolling office was situated, and several
others, were burned. The draft which had
commenced in the Eighteenth ward was also
stopped on account ot the riot. The police
and a small force of the militia repaired to
the scene of the riot, but were immediately
overpowered, and the whole c'.'y was at the
mercy of the rioters throughout the day.
In some few instances the ruob v. ere checked
by the police, bu' 1 general they had undis
puted sway. U 10 o'clock las f evening
fifteen buildings burned,among uth< rs ; n

Two Mints of new-made graves of
federal soldiers line the levee at Vicksburg
Iving so close that a man can step from one
to the other and walk upon graves all the
way! Was there ever so graphic a".re
given in a few words, of the terrible destruc
tion wrought by war and the fearlul thurac
ter of even the holiest.—AV.
Two miles of graves—solemn thought! Tw <
miles of graves tilled with the putrid c r; ses
and mangled bodies of our noblest citizens
Observe these graves arc all outside the rebel
works. llow many are within thatd.uk
abode, none but the garrison know, Reason
asks are these scenes to go on increasing
from year to year ? Is the sword never to
return to the scabbard ? Are hecatombs on
hecatombs of human beings of the noblest
blood to be annually slaughtered, to gratify
the malignant hatred of a few fanatics north
and south ? These are questions that de
mand the immediate attention of every Chris,
tiau man and woman in the iand.
It tot at Ruffalo.
BUFFALO, July G.— A difficulty occurred
between the Irish stevedores and the negroes
this afternoon in consequence of the former

general onslaught on all the negroes, several
of whom are reported to be killed and a num
ber severely wounded.

The Invasion of Palls.
As the late invasion of Falls, in this coun
ty, has been the subject of much inquiry
I ami has given rise to many exagerations, and
exciting rumors, we purpose, briefly, to give,
to the public a fair and impartial statement
! all the material facts in the affair. We will
premise what we have to say in re
lation to it, by asserting (as we have dene
! before,) that no attempt had been made to
enroll the citizens of that Township, by any
one—no man's residence, name or age, had
been asked. Assurances of the most posi
tive character had been given to all inquiries,
by prominent men of the Township, that
the enrollment coul 1 be made, by any sober,
quiet, unarmed man, without a shadow of
insistence. Speaking from an iuthnate ac
quaintance with the people of that town, and
froiu an almost daily intercourse with them,
iwe had stated to persons high in authority,
• here, that such was our opinion. Our read
• trs will recollect that this opinion was ex
pressed through the c duums of this paper.
, We asked, what the people of Falls had said
or done, to justify the foul slanders heaped
upon them by the lying and unscrupulous
editor of the Republican. And we now say,
as we then said, that the assertion made by
this abolition lickspittle that " the marshal!
was driven from that town by armed ruf
j fians," is a base falsehood, got up for the
basest of purposes, by the basest of all the
i servile tools and puppets of the present ab
olition dynasty—a man who lies from a
chronic habit, when the truth would serve
him better. But, to the story of the invas
ion.
With all the facts before thcin, with all
these assurances ringing in their ears ; the
authorities, for a purpose best known to
j themselves—the motive we can only infer—
ordered an armed force of thirty-three men
into that township, " for the purpose" it was
! altedged of " enforcing the enrollment in
Falls !"
The Lieutenant in charge of these men,
was met just in the edge of the town, where
he quartered hid men, by prominent and in
fluential citizens, and was told that an arin
eS force was entirely unnecessary, to the en
rollment—that they would accompany him
and Mr. Wells, the enrollingolfleer, through
the town, assist him in his duties, and guar
anty his exemption from insult or injury
that the presence of an armed force, after a!l
that had been said, was likely to exasperate,
rather than intimidite the citizens. lie (the
Lieutenant) expressed himself satisfied with
the proposition, but wished until the next
morning (Saturday) to consider with and
consult his superiors. In the meantime he
was despatched toScranton. At the appoint
ed hour he was met at Factoryvilie, wher--
he had arrived from tho former place ; and
immediately upon his heels, followed an ad
ditional force of fifty-two armed men ; ac
companied by a Captain, a Lieutenant, and
two Marshals from Luzerne county. With
this additional force at their backs, the mar
shals proceeded to enroll the township, in
their own way and manner ;an I in spiie ol
the entreaties of numerous highly respectable
citizens', who expostulated with them against
tne disgraceiul imputation, against their ti
di.lily to the laws, thus attempted to be cast
upon the people of the township. Paying
no attention to these, the enrolling officer
with a possce of about a dozen men with
leaded arms and fixed bayonets, visited a
few house*, within " o:.sy su,p >rling dis
tance'' of t'ae encampment. Ti-.e-e for ti;e
most part, we believe, were locked up and
i icntantless, or only occupied by women and
children. All negotiations had ceased. The
| citizens and the soldiery,—or rather the
' | erson - who controlled them, —had each cou
j elude 1 to go their own way.
, At tht- tune, Dr. J. V. Smith and myself,
who had I>een a 1 vi-ed by a citizen of an ad
; i iitingrfownsbip (Overjield) (hat our pees
j ence might prevent a collision, drove bv tl.e
pickets, without hindrance, and got iutu
! camp.
Wc stated to those there in command, the
utter inutility and folly of their mission, that
their way of proceeding might provoke oppo
sition yhich might result in a collision. We
I'M ceeded into the other end of the town and
; upon consultation with the enraged an 1 ex-
cited citizen*, found that our suppositions
were not groundless. They felt that their
wishes and feelings had been outraged, as
their homes might be - —that their good inten
t tons and generous confidence, had been requit
ed by duj licitv and trickery, and that as men
who loved justice and liberty, and hated
wrong and oppression, they were cal'ed np
od to resent and resist insult and injury.
They were prepared to do it. More pacifi;
and as we thought better councils prevailed.
Dr. Smith and myself were authi r
ized to agree again that Mr. Wells, the
Deputy Marshal, accompanied by unarmed
citizens should proceed and make the en
rollment. We returned accompanied by cne
of the justices of the Peace, of the Township,
to the camp of the invad°r? on a sort of
guasi , " flag of tru;e" expedition. Approach
ing the outer pickets we were met with the
usual military salutation and charge bayonets
position. We complimented the faithful,
sleepless sentinel upon the fidelity with which
lie was performing his duty—told him we
were peaceable citizens on the public highway;
upon which wc were allowed to pass. Ar
riving at head quarters, "a council of war"
was called. Our mission was disclosed to
all the ,s high military" and other functions
r es; there present. Aft"r some little con
f! ct in opinion as to who was highest in au
thority there, it was agreed that all hands
hod a little something te say and do in the
matter. Our proposition was entiiely ac
ceptable to Mr. Wells, and some one or two
others but was accepted by others with great
reluctance and after considerable argument
and delay and in the " wee sina' hours o' the
night." The result had to be communicated
to the citizens two and three miles distant.
In going out of the camp we found the sen
ton! (poor fellow we hope his officers will
not hoar of il) napping it on iiis post—by
which we mean the ground— We waked him
up and after some confused expressions, the
import of which we did not clearly compre
hend, passed on. The sentinels on the ever
lasting hills-the watch towers of liberty, tho
wot Id over-were awake, alert and vigilant!
We reported progress, and returned again t.
the camp of the tnvad r- - , hardy reaching
it at the appointed litre, (5 o'clock A.M.)
that our part of the arrangement might be
carried rut.
Mr. Wells took the carriage with Dr.
Smith, accompanied by E-q. Owens and my
self. By the aid of documents in Esq.
Owen's possession and through the courtesy
and good memory of Stephen P s f , an old
resident, and some other citizens, the enr di
luent of Falls Township was completed by a
very short trin and in about two hours time ;
We arrived at the Falls village just in time
to meet the soldiers, fifty-two of whom had
their orders to pass through Newton and re
port at Scranton ar.cl the remainder at
11 100 in J- burg, Columbia Co. Mr. Wells in
formed them that the enrollment of Falls was
comp'eted. They immediately took up
their muskets and at the same time their
line of march for these places respectively
and—respectfully. Not a man among them,
we think, ever saw an armed man in the Town
ship ; and we venture the assertion that not
a man of them, but feels that he was sent on
a very foolish and unnecessary mission—a
torn fool's errand, and an actor in a most
ridiculous farce !
We (eel it but our duly to say in behalf of
the soldiers, that their conduct towards the
citizens, so far as we saw or heard, was of the
most civil and respectful character; and that
these civilities were fully reciprocated by all
the citizens with whom they came in contact.
Mr. James Ilosea, of Catbondale, and N. F.
Palmer, of B'akley, Luz. Co. Marshals, were
courteous, frank and candid in all their inter
course with us and the citizens, and contribu
ted greatly towards bringing about a fair ar
rangement—a peaceful solution of the pend
ing difficulties.
Thus closes our narrative of the "enforce
ment of the enrollment" in Falls. Wo have
necessarily been obliged to omit some minor
particulars ; and it may seem that we have
given undue importance to oil ers. Bit we
feel that a people who have been so grossly
misrepresented; and upon whom was attempt"
ed to be imposed tlie stigma and disgrace,
which only belongs to their traducers, and
law-defying law-denying neighbors, with
a knot of low, scurvy, mousing, truculent,
abolition politicians, in this place—should b;
fairly and impartially tvprcseuto I. And
that lite circumstance which has given ric
to such general comment a*id will doubt
less furnish occasion, for a fre->h brood of 11.1-
hatched iies, should 1-e tl oroughly ventilla
ted that their authors may be held up t-> the
scorn and contempt of all decent men. f-,r all
time, or at least, as btig as men now living
'etain a glimmering spar!: c l ti.e memory of
the INVASION OF FALLS.
P. S.
Since writing the above, we hr.ve been in
formed that the fifty-t wo soldier-;, who pas-ed
through Newton on their way to Scram on,
met with a hospitable reception at the hare's
of the citizens there, that a large number of
the citizens of Benton, and other Townships
met them ; and by kind tokens assured them
that no harm was intended them. That the
soldurs, (as they did in Fall-), manifested
their love and deviation to their old Le'der,
McClellan, and denounced in unmeasured
terms, his abolition traducers. Refreshments
were had—songs were sung—in honor ( f'little
MV;conveyanc s were procured toc.arry the r
to Scranton ; in the leading wag >n was placed
a beautiful hickory with the good <1 1 star*
and stripes fl fr en it. T ie horses were
trimmed with hickory houghs, the soldiers
stuck thein in their guns anl cap*, and a*
they started, three hearty cheers wre given
for the Democracy of Falls and Newton—
Three cheers for their hospitable lilies; and
three groans for the abolition party.
AMEN !
DESPOTISM AND VAI.LANDIGHAM M
Theirs has been elected a number of the
Chamber of Di pt ties, not in spite of
ihe Minister of the Inferior's letter
against him, but by reason of it.--
The flavor of prohibition is a seasoning
much relished both by French men and
French women, ami therein they show
their affinities to the rest of mankind. So
M. Pelletan was elected because he ha (1 been
imprisoned for ail obnoxious newspaper arti
cle. He ad pressed his constituents with the
mute but irresistible eloquence of persecution-
So Mr. Vallaudigham will oe chosen Gover
nor of Ohio by an overwhelming vote, and
mainly by reason of his arbitrary arrest,
When will despotism learn to be wise, when
will it learn to profit by experience, or com
prehend 'be laws of humanity ? We answer
never. It is a law of Providence that despot
ism shall never become master of its own
poor trade' It never learns anything and
never forgets any tiling, It is just as stupid
to-day in America, as it was in England when
it attempted to muzzle Sacheverell and sup
press Wilkes. Despotism is a blinded Cy
clops, that has arms to strike, but no eyes to
see.— Boston Post.

WHERE THE GOLD IS?-- What has lucrtme
of the g'd l coin ? a*ks wrerybody.
The late advance of (lie rebels into this State
has thrown some light on the mystery. IV hen
the "butternuts wre supposed lo%e moving
to Pittsburg, the bankers of that city thought
it prudent to remove their c in, and the
American Express company delivered in Clev
eland, on the 15th fust,, §15,600,000 in
gold, and on the succeeding day §1 000,000
more of which §650,000 was also in gold.—
There is as much gold in the country as ever
but it ha* fled into strong boxes like a fright -
cued animal takes to its hole, and nothing
but gunpowder can snake it out.
The Surrender of Vicksburg.
New YORK, Jul}* B.—The New York
World lias a despatch from General Gram's
headquarters, dated July 3d, BP. M., which
says;
" A fi ig of truce from Pemberton appeared
at 8 o'clock this morning with a coininutiica
lion proposing the appointment of commis
sioners to arrange terms, to which Gen.
Grant made ihe following response :
'"The only terms I can entertain are
those of unconditional surrender.' "
" Subsequently, Gen. Grant met Pember
ton, and, after an hour's consultation, the
terms of surrender were agreed up< 11, the
former consenting to parole the soldiers.—
The number of prisoners, wou ided, &c., is
said to be eighteen thousand men—twelve
thou-and of whom are in fighting condition.
"The immediate cause of the surrender
was the exhaustion of supplies and ammuni
tion, an:l the failure of Johnston to relieve
1 the garrison.
I Our army w ill enter Vicksburg triumph
' nt!y at daylight, thereby celebrating the
' 4Ti.
A general interchange of civilities extends
along 11 the lines.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT C>F TTT E PROC LA MARION.
CAIRO, July B.—By the arrival of the
' steamer Niagara, with IJeut. Dunn, of Gen.
: Sullivan's staff, from Vicksburg, who is a
' bearer of despatches from Gen. Grant to the
; War Department, we have a confirmation of
the capitulation of Vicksburg.
From reliable sources, the following par
| tirubirs of the closing scenes of the siege o.'
Vicksburg have been obtained :
The first flag-f truce received for some
; time was on the first of July, asking an es
cort for an Englishman who had been shut
'up for some time in the Confederacy. This
; request was granted. On the previous day
the rebels made an unsuccessful sortie on
our troops on the left, intending to take our
soldiers out cf the rifle-pits. General John
ston was reported to be only twenty miles
! off. Our men were in line of battle ready
| to receive an attack.
On the 3rd another flag of truce catne into
| our lines, brought by two Confederate offi
! oer-, one of whom wasMijor General Browne
The messengers were b'-in if I led and re
mained awaiting the return of Goneral Smith,
who to>>k the despitches .rom Peinberton
to General Grant. After an hour had elapsed
the'r eyes were uubandaged. T.'iey convers
ed freely with the U lion offi •rs. On -of
I them said that iron enough had been thrown
! into the city to stock immense fiundr.es an 1
I build immense monuments for ali who had
I
J fallen.
The messengers were again blindfolded
! and escorted to a safe point from which they
1 could enter their own lines.
(front curiosity was manifested by the j
officers an soldier* to learn the contents of
Gen. Jetiibrrt.n', despatches, which were
whic* were finally u tail tied.
he rebel general had seen fit to intimate
tl an unnecessary effusion of blond an 1
i s 1 of life might be prevt uti'il by toe ce*.-vi
' iii of h iSiilitU'-, d .ring which c nimi-n)ii
r* might he appointed to agree o-t tero • '■)
'uu eiidi r.
(i li. Grant'.- reply was very iiit f, saving
that Peinher. MI h.i i it in LI i S own band- to
-top bloodshed at any moment; that com
missioner- were unnecessary, and the only
stipulations lie c **r: 1 k aceopt were an uncon
ditieiial surrender. lie concluded by pay
ing a deserved tribute to the bravery ami
endurance of the rebel gariis..n, and Said
! that, if they surrendered, they weuld be
Mealed with all tbec> uitesy due to prisoii
j trs of war.
The rebel messenger had not gone bng
when PemVu ton sent again, asking a pep
sonal interview,which General Grant prompt
!y acceded to. At 3 o'clock, P. M , on die
■ same day, a conference took place about
! midway between 'be fronts of both armies
The two generals went aside, ami what was'
-aid during the conference can only be judg
ed from the results. After bide more than
an hour, terms were agreed upon and the
[ rebels surrendered.
It was arranged that that, the Federal
I forces shall enter at 10 o'clock on the next
morning, and the rebels all lie paroled, (the
| officers allowed to retain their horses) and
i given four days rations, to the taken from
the rebel stores. They were to be consid
ered as prisoners liable to exchange.
At 10 o'clock on the mori ing of the 4th of
July, General Steele's Division inarched into
and garrisoned the ci'y, the binds play ing
the National airs of the contending forces.—
The scene was witnessed bv thousands of
Federal and rebel soldiers, many of whom
' for the first time in weeks had showed them-
I selves with impunity above the rifle-pits, al
j though (luring ad this time they had been
] within five yard* of each other.

Amalgamation.
i The Abolitionists have at length disclosed
i the fact tint they are the advocates ofth ß
! Amalgamation of the while with the black
race. After forcing upon President Lincoln
th" emancipation .f all the negroes in the
Southern States, contrary to law, and in vio
lation ol his repeated pledges on that sub
j.'Ct, ihey now turn round and declare them
| selves in favor of Amalgamation. How lon
it will he before the President and his Cabi
net will adopt the peculiar views of Wendell
Phillips on this subject, w fc are at a loss to
conjecture? We only know that Phillips
and his friends forced from the President his
■ famous Emancipation Proclamation, and Wt ,
i should not he surprised to hear, at anv time,
i that tht- President had become a Convert to
I the t w doctrine, if he is not even now # t r
| advocate of it. The President thus far hat
, followe I tlie 1 ad of Wendell Phillips, Wm.
Lloyd Garrison, Cl aries Sumner, Benjamin
, F. Wade, 7. ichai iah Chandler, &e , and it is
not reasonable to suppose that he w ill do
! otherwise on the great question of negre
ariia'gau ati. ii. To gratify these men he lias
made tl e negro a freeman and the white
man a slave. If he docs not endorse the
amalgamation theory of Phillips, we shall be
agreeably disappointed.
At an Abolition Convention held at Fam
ing'.on, Massachusetts, July 4lh, 1893, Wen
dell Phillips said : " Now lam going to sav -
I something lhat ( know will make the NEW
YOUR HERALD use its anal! capitals and
| notes of admiration—(laughter)—and yet
n i well-informed man this side of China but
j bjieves it in the very core of his heart.
' That is, " Amalgamation"—a word that the
i Northern apologist for slavery has always
' usetl so glibly, but which you never heard
from a Southerner—amalgamation. Ke

Lancaster' June 23,1803.
After all the fuss that has been mada
about enlisting and conscripting negro troops*
j it .ip}M-ats that there are not now titogrlher
j 10.000 negro soldiers in the service o f die
| government, embodied in eleven regiments—
two from Massachusetts, two frotn South
Car■>'ma, three from Louisiana, two fi" t,m
(I irth Carolina, one from Kansas, and d'U
from the District of Columbia. Plenty mure
! are promised, but they don't appear. K' lie "
crain has not a single nigger bearing a n ,uJ '
i ke, and yet lie has 5,000 of thein in hiscauip
usefully employed otherwise.
Gen. Grant has uniformly permitted dun
ocratic newspapers to circulate freely throit e
j out his camp. What army is there which h- lS
I fought more nobly ?
