NEW YORK, JULY 16, =voce.
The Popular excitement continues, and Waimea
is still generally suspended.
Several more collisions have taken place in the
upper part of the city between the mob and the
military, but the city is generally much quieter to-
day, though the riot is not yet entirely quelled.
There has been resistance to the draft in Boston,
but the disturbances were promptly suppressed.
General Meade officially reported yesterday as
follows :—"My cavalry occupy Falling Waters,
having overtaken and captured a brigade of in-
fantry 1,500 strong, two guns, two caissons, two
battle flags, and a number of small arms. The
enemy are all across the Potomac."

imbued with that one groat ides of "resistance," and no
matter what obstacle came in their path they rammed bound
to encounter it, no matter how large or how powerful were
its proportions.
At about ten o'clock in the morning the military, consist-
big of about four hundred in all, accompanied by a number
of police, marched leisurely up Third avenue. The military
wee composed of Company El, of the Twelfth regiment,
under command of Oratain Franklin • about fifty of the
Eleventh regiment New York Volunteers,: under command
of Colonel H. F. O'Brien. They brought along with them
two small field pieces.
There were certainly about four hundred police on the
march, led by Depety-Soperintradent Carpenter and Ser.
geent Copelend. They were well armed, and carried their
clubs's a Ibis grasp, as is also determined to do their part
of the week.
On arriving at the corner of Thirty-fourth-street and

was fast spreading from street to street.
After the police end the people bad fought for sone-
what over an hour there was somewhat of a lull in the die-

, their very notability to have brought themselves to that
I peas where it wee neoemary for • rest to take place, in
order that they might be carried out with more terrible

houses after inflicting Most summary punishment upon all
who came in their way, retired from the houses and formed

sad were proceeding in another vicinity, when a sexed
attach took place, and now the real work commenced.
There were two howitzers placed in pesitioa, iaP

among the soldiers. Cokes: O'Brien rode up and down In
the centre, and then gave the command " Fire " to those
who bad charge of the howitzers. Some allege that these
pions were loaded with grape and mister ; but however
this may be, there were several seas to fall at this time.
The two wavelike of the 11th Regiment, which were
nadir the immediate command of Colossi O'Brien, also
opened a fire of Mon bullets and committed some havoc
among the crowd, which was firmly massed together at this

able directioe. Several fell upon the sidewalk and in the
middle of the street, and were carried tato the various
houses, where their wounds were attended to.
The action of Colonel O'Brien, as described by several who
were within a hearing distance of him daring the whole
time, is this described from the commenoemeot of the ora-

determined with any degree of certainty- bat the fate

the wait horrible that either history teal of, or the present
gesermios ever witnessed.
(Joked O'Brien, as has already been stated, was on hover

by his mess that they fired, and also by his instrumentality,
whether be be right or wrontin the matter, that the been's

from his born and walked iato • dreg store.
Had the oominauder of this military force taken his de-

have been saved. But fatality had destined him for its vic-

but the lowering glances of cue thousand men looked down
in their vengeful spirit upon him as he stood in the door.
He then drew his sword, and, with a revolver in the other
bead, walked out on the sidewalk in the very centre of the
crowd. He was immediately surrounded, sod one of the
men came behind, and striking him a heavy blow on the
back of the head, staggered him. The crowd then imme-

The body lay in the middle of the street, within a few

body was mutilated in such a manner that it was utterly
impossible to recognise it. The head was wetly one mass

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 27.

Tama of our contemporaries who, up to the
end of last week, continued to assert that the sur-
render of Vicksburg "is at least not certain,"
must really learn to move a little faster, or their
comments on the American war will soon be two
or three mails in arrear. Before they have
" recognised " the fall of Vicksburg we have the
news not only that Port Hudson has uncondition-
ally surrendered, but that part of GRANT% vic-
torious army under General SHERMAN had marched
against General Jourterows, defeated him in a
pitched battle with heavy loss, and forced the only
remaining Confederate force in the West into a
precipitate retreat. The news from the East does
not in the least help to counterbalance the total
collapse of the Confederacy on the Mississippi.
General Las, instead of remaining north of the
Potomac and defeating the Federal army by means
of the large reinforcements be was said to have
received, has beefily crossed the river, and is
in full retreat towards Richmond. Nor is the
latest intelligence from the centre of th'e vast area
of military operations at all more encouraging to
the Confederate cause. General BRAGG appears
not to have paused in his flight even at the en-
trenched camp of Chattanooga, which we have
been repeatedly told was impregnable, but is said
to have retreated to Atalanta, a hundred miles
further south. At the same time a Federal force
has suddenly appeared before Charleston, and
succeeded in establishing itself on the two islands
which form the south side of the harbour. There
is, in fact, nothing to console the wounded feel-
ings, or to mitigate in any way the severe yet mort
righteous disappointment of those ardent friends
of the Confederacy who have cherished with des-
perate tenacity the humane and enlightened hope
of seeing a great military power based on slavery
successfully established in the New World. Not
at one point only, but at every point in a line of
military operations extending over more than a
thousand miles, the Confederates are forced help-
lessly back. On the Mississippi and in the West
the war is virtually over, the enemy's strongholds
being captured, and his armies destroyed ; while
the centre and in the East the only organized
forces that still keep together are in full retreat.

The disturbances at New York bad been well
prepared beforehand. A Virginian was their
chief leader, having several hundred agents
under his orders, and their force was dis-
tributed with some skill over the city, so
as to give the movement the appearance of
• general and spontaneous uprising. For two
whole days they appear to have been uncon-
trolled, the force at the command of the Mayor
having been quite inadequate to overpower them.
During this period they continued to perpetrate
atrocities worse than any that are recorded of the
French Revolution. The negroes were chosen for
attack by the leaders of the mob, because they
are proving an important arm of the free Republic
in destroying slavery, and were mailed by their
ignorant followers from the Wapping and Rother-
hithe of New York because their competition keeps
wages within bounds. The intervention of Arch-
bishop Hymn= suggests that the IrLsh took their
full share in the disturbances.

Although this riot is each an one as might be
got up in any seaport, it is rely disgraceful to tie
City of New York. Nobody, however, at all ao-
quainted with the history of that city for the last
ten years will feel the least surprise at what has
taken place. There is no city in the world of
its size in which the mob is so completely in the
bands of a few unprincipled men. It was known
a month ago that throughout the North the word
bad been given that the last card was to be played
by the Copperheads. It has been played, and
lost. This New York riot is a failure and also
serious blunder. The action of the Federal Govern-
ment will not be impeded by it for a day ; not a
battalion will delay its march : respectable citizens
of all opinions will be drawn closer together and
nearer to the Government by the spectacle of
♦iolence, which recalls the flourishing days of New
Orleans. And the riot will as little serve thepurpose
of the Confederate Government out of America as
nearer home. It will not even be of use to poor
Lord CAXPIIIII. to-night, for it would be ridiculous
to liken it to civil war, which it no more resemble,
than our own Bristol riots. No political party
will acknowledge these proceedings ; and it will be
impossible to pretend that they were spontaneous.
This is a last foul blow struck for a desperate and
dying cause, and it will prove as vain as it is
villanous.

MR. LAIRD, of Birkenhead, sends to the
Daily News some letter, without signature,
in support of his statement in the House of
Commons last March, that he had been asked
to build war ships for the Federal Govern-
ment. Mr. LA►su invites the public to judge
by these letters whether be had not sufficient
grounds for entertaining the belief that the Navy
Department, of which Mr. Waizza is chief, had
approached his firm with a view of getting ships
built in this country for the American Government.
But Mr. Loran can hardly suppose that when a
fact has been publicly affirmed and pub-
licly denied by the two parties most in-
terested, the question between them can be
decided by the production of anonymous letters.
We agree with the friends whom Mr. LAIRD COD-
milted that he had a right to use all documents,
including the Washington letter of July 30, in his
own vindication ; and indeed that the question
having become a public one between two Govern-
ments, it was his duty to do so ; but then if the

letters are to be worth anything as evidence, he
must publish the name of his correspondent. U
he cannot do this, his case breaks down for went
of evidence. If Mr. Lam merely wishes to
show how he came to be possessed with a certain
belief, these letters may suffice, but if he wants to
convict the American Government, they are worth-
less. The departmental memorandum which Mr.
LAIRD publishes, and to which he appears to attach
importance, contains no reference to him, and is
just such an one as would be given to an American
contractor. There must have been scores of similar
memoranda issued at Washington to persons who
were providing the American Government with
home-built ships. We submit to Mr. LAIRD that
he cannot let the matter rest where it is. There
must have been appalling lying somewhere, and
we hope the guilty party will be found out. In
the meantime, Mr. Lama's letters prove nothing
to the purpose.
