THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, July 29.
As few people believe the confident assertion
of Mr. Secretary Stanton—published in an official
document, with his signature attached—that the
army of General Lee was utterly " routed" by
General Meade, and could not possibly escape into
Virginia unless in disorderly and demoralised frag-
ments, few people are surprised to learn that the
Confederate chief—repulsed, but not defeated—
has crossed the Potomac at his leisure, with his
stores, his ammunition, his artillery, and the spoils
that he gathered in Pennsylvania; that he holds
all the lower gaps of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
where Gen. Meade cannot pursue him ; and that
he is in such strength and spirits as even yet to
alarm Mr. Stanton as well as Mr. Lincoln and
General Halleck for the future safety of Washing-
ton. In other quarters the Confederates, though
greatly disappointed and grieviously damaged, are
not disheartened. Vice-President Stephens speaks
words of cheer to the people, and will not despair
of the cause even if Charleston, Savannah, and
Mobile should be wrested from the Confederacy,
and Richmond itself be doomed to suffer the pain
and humiliation of hostile occupation. Charleston
makes a gallant defence, and repulses the foe at
Fort Wagner with a slaughter of which it is
sickening to read. Yet the Northern people would
be sanguine of speedy success to their arms, not-
withstanding all these discouraging circumstances,
were it not for the character of the recent news from
Mexico. They believe that the establishment of a
monarchical form of government in that country
under the auspices of the Emperor of the French,
whether the new potentate be the Archduke Maxi-
milian of Austria or, on his refusal, Mr. Patterson
Bonaparte—or Bonaparte Patterson—will speedily
lead to the recognition of Mr. Jefferson Davis and
an alliance offensive and defensive between France,
Mexico, and the Southern Confederacy. They
know enough of the energy and determination of
the Southern people to acknowledge that it would
not, under these circumstances, be necessary for
the Emperor of the French to send a single regi-
ment to America; that the South does not want
his military aid, but solely that of his navy,
to open the ports and procure for the people
that access to the outer world for want of which
they have been reduced, more than by any-
thing else, to their present state of suffering. For
the time being the Mexican news absorbs the main
interest of American politicians of the higher grade.
Those of the lower grade are as local and municipal
as usual, but every man who can calculate the
chances of the future a little more accurately than
his fellows is of opinion that the chances of South-
ern recognition by France, with or without the co-
operation of Great Britain, were never so favourable
as they are at the present moment, and that these
chances do not so much rest upon Federal victories
or reverses as upon the turn which events have
taken in the land of Montezuma.

Mr. Seward and some of the leading members of
the Democratic party appear to cling to the notion
that the South, if it cannot be coerced, can be con-
ciliated, and th At Mr. Lincoln has only to propose
a general amnesty, for which they think the time
exceedingly favourable; a withdrawal of the Pro-
clamation of Emancipation, and constitutional gua-
rantees for the perpetuation of slavery in the Cotton
States, to secure a reconstruction of the Union.
The hope is illusory. Even if the South would
accept the terms—which is not in the slightest de-
gree probable—the restored Union could not outlive
another four years' Presidency. Such a compro-
mise would heal nothing, settle nothing, be worth
nothing. The flames of civil war might smoulder
under the heap of rubbish thrown over them, but
would burst forth again with redoubled violence at
no distant period. It is asserted that Mr. Seward
has urged upon the President to make the attempt,

and whether the fact be or be not as stated, it is
clear that a very large proportion of the American
people do dearly prize the Union as to be willing
to consent even to such a humiliation as this would
he to restore it in its pristine strength and cohesion.
But the thing is impossible.
The question of the draught in this city is held in
abeyance. The attempt to enforce it will infallibly
lead to further disturbance. In the meantime the
interest attaching to the riots of the 13th, 14th,
15th, and 16th days of this month has not subsided.
Whether arising in a sadden outburst of popular
indignation against the slavery of enforced military
service, or secretly organised by leaders who have
had the wit and the good fortune to conceal their
names, their persons, and their mode of action, they
are likely in their consequences to exert great in-

fluence on that Northern revolution which the Go
vernment appears to have resoved to accomplish

The " Woollyheads," or Republicans, have long ac-
cused the " Copperheads," or Democrats, of having
instigated insurrection in favour of the South, while
the Democrats, on the other hand, have as loudly
accused the opposite party of fomenting and en-

couraging the worst excesses of the mob in order to
have a pretext for declaring martial law in this
city, and of overriding and ultimately superseding
the constitution of the State of New York. Both of

these charges are bus lees. The riots, which were
formidable enough at one time to deserve the name
of an insurrection, and might have grown into a re-
volution had there been as much courage in civil as
there is in military life in this country, were really
the spontaneous growth of popular disgust both with
the war and with the conscription, and the Federal
Government was not only sorry that they broke out
as they did, but was most anxious to turn them to
account in its darling purpose of welding the North
into a homogeneous nation by the extinction of
State rights. But, astute as were the politicians of
Washington, they found their match in Governor
Seymour. Elected by the Democracy of the State
to defend State rights against Federal en-
croachments, he knew the importance of his posi-

tion and the necessity of defending it. The Governor
of Pennsylvania, receiving little or no aid from the
Federal Government in his attempt to arrest the
progress of General Lee, had applied in his distress

into any fresh contracts with the War-office r theenter
supply of military clothing. General Wool acceded
to the requfst ; but not having troops enough in the
Federal forts in the harbour and elsewhere to cope
with a riot that begin to assume the most alarming
proportions, he made application to the Commander-
in-Chief of the Sovereign State of New York—that
is to say, to Governor Seymour. for the aid of such
militia as still remained within the remoter limits
of the State, or that he could muster at sudden call
for the defence of society threatened with anarchy.
General Wool did what was entirely right, legal,
and constitutional under the circumetances, but he
grievously offended the Federal Government, as will
more fully appear hereafter. Governor Seymour
called out his militia reserves. General Wool con-
tributed his services, and both forces were placed
by Governor Seymour under the command of
Major-General Sandford—a State, not a Federal
officer—and everything seemed to promise that,
with unity of counsel and of purpose, the insurgents
and the thieves who had joined their ranks would
be speedily dispersed or captured. At this stage of

the proceedings—late on Monday evening—a new
actor appeared on the scene, Brigadier-General

Harvey Brown, a subordinate of General Wool, in
immediate command of some Federal troops in the
forts of New York harbour, who volunteered his
services in suppressing the riots. His offer was
accepted, and he was ordered to report to and place
himself under the orders of Major-General Sand-
ford. The new volunteer, however, proved to be
of little service. He promised obedience, but did
not yield it. He expected, as a Federal General,
to supersede or, at all events, to outrank the State
General, under whom he was ordered to serve, and
his claim not being allowed, he thwarted all the
arrangements which it was his duty to promote,
and, intentionally or unintentionally, gave the
rioters the considerable advantage of uncontrolled
possession of whole districts of the city. 'Ulti-
mately, and before the night was far advanced, he
asked General Wool's permission to be excused
from further service. The permission was granted,
and Colonel Nugent, Provost-Marshal-General,
was appointed in his place, to report to the State
General. On the following morning (Tuesday), the
riots having gained new strength in the interval,
and mainly on account of the neglect of disobedience
of which Brigadier-Gen. Brown had been guilty, in
refusing to act in subordination to Major-Gen.Sand-
ford, the Brigadier, who was in hourly telegraphic
communication with the Secretarylof War
Wash-
ington, presented himself again before Gen. Wool,

suppressed, in spite of the obstructiveness or ineffi-
ciency of Gen. Brown; and solely by the police and
the militia. Gen. Canby was not wanted. There
was no pretext for declaring martial law. The
Federal Government had lost its coveted opportunity
of taking the State and city of New York under its
paternal protection, and abolishing its laws, and
there was no knowing when another occasion equally
favourable might present itself. Governor Seymour
was too important a person—too independent a
potentate or Sovereign within his own constitutional
sphere—to be lightly meddled with, and although the
Federal Government would have been glad to make
him feel the full weight of its displeasure, it was
compelled by prudential considerations to restrain
its avenging hand, and vent its wrath in another
direction. If Governor Seymour and Gen. Sandford
were not Federal officers, Gen. Wool and Gen. Brown
were. Both of them had been guilty of thwarting a
cherished design of the Government ; a revolutionary
design, it is true, but not the less incumbent upon
them, in the estimation of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Stan-
ton, and Gen. Halleck, to aid and forward when
required to do so. By order of the President, dated
on the third day of the riots, General Wool was re-
lieved of his command, and placed on the retired
list. His offence was not stated ; but according to
all probability, as well as to common belief, it was
his recognition of the authority of Governor Sey-
mour as superior within the State of New York to
that of the Federal Government. General Brown
was dismissed in like manner, and was placed upon
the retired list. The Government did not conde-
scend to inform him why he lied fallen under its
high displeasure. Ho had certainly endeavoured
to place the Federal above the State authority, but
he had done his work in so inefficient a manner
that it was a palpable failure. It was his duty not
to have failed. He did fail, however, and he was
punished accordingly.
Governor Seymour has taken no public notice of
these transactions. By the single-minded and
honest co-operation of General Wool, who, when
the peace of a great city was disturbed, saw nothing

-
but the paramount necessity of enforcing obedience

to the laws, he had been enabled to thwart the re-
volutionary manoeuvres of the War-office. It would
scarcely have been consistent with his dignity to
take official cognisance of the little plot which he
had so happily and so signally defeated. But he
has found a befitting opportunity to place upon re-
cord his opinion on the vital matter of State rights,
and to define the frontier of a Governor of a State
—such as New York—with regard to the Governors

of other States, and to the Federal Power. In an

order of the day, dated the 23d Inst., and in his
official capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the
Military Forces of Now York, ho has returned
thanks to the Militia regiments, which,
at his request, a month ago, during the
alarm consequent upon the invasion of
General LeE, proceeded to the relief of the Gover-
nor of Pennsylvania, and in words full of warning
and instruction has impressed upon their minds
the sanctity of the Constitution, which is gra-
dually melting away in the hot blast of war; and
the necessitygof holding fast by the ancient wisdom
which established it, if they would escape approach-

ing anarchy. Aware of the intention of Mr. Lin-
coln and his advisers to crush out State Rights in
all the North and West, as fast as opportunity may
serve, Governor Seymour warns the militia of the
great commonwealth of which he is the chief magi-
strate how much depends upon their action in all
the perils that may involve both the individual
State and the Federation of which it forms a part.
"If, he says, "our militia system be allowed to
decay, all our institutions are weakened. The mi-
litia is the main strength of the Executive, to main-
tain the laws, put down insurrection, and repel
invasion." This is the doctrine of the Constitution,
but not of Mr. Lincoln and the revolutionary
Republicans. These are of opinion that a large
standing army, supported by taxation, is the proper
and always available instrument to use in such
emergencies. "The State of New York," adds the
Governor, "has already furnished 260,000 volun-
teers to the national service. It now contains
within its limits more than 300,000 persons liable
to service in its militia. The proper organisation
of this great force will not only preserve the power
and safety of the State, but enable it to be even
more beneficial in its aid to the nation, and to
other States than it has been heretofore." There is
no mistaking the import and intention of these
words. They mean business. They mean that in
any conflict which the Federal Government may
provoke, with the view of remodelling the institu-
tions of the North, so as to convert it into one
consistent and homogeneous despotism, the Governor
of New York will maintain the sovereign rights of
the State, and use, if need be, his constitutional
army of 300,000 men for the purpose.
The question is perilous, and may become immi-
nent. The conscription may, at any moment, force
it to a strict solution. The Government, in view of
the widespread indignation which the mere mention
service has excited--and
of compulsory military
pointedly in deference to the wishes of Governor
Seymour, very temperately and respectfully laid
before it—has postponed, but has not abandoned,
the draught. At any moment which it may deem
most favourable for the purpose, it may make a new
attempt to enforce it—and as certainly
as it does so
it will goad the working classes of this and the
neighbouring cities to resistance. And if a new
insurrection should be the result there is every
indication that it will not be so purposeless or so
leaderless as the last, and thet men will spring to
the front who will organize the popular anger to
Political ends, and, making bloody examples of the
house-burners and thieves who may attempt to turn
the Public coramotione to the purposes of plunder,
will do what they can to invest social riot with the
dignity of
political revolution. To that end things
are marching.

The Common Council and Aldermen of this city,
who, as a body, are opposed to the draught and
fully sympathise with their Irish friends and fellow-
countrymen, who resisted it with violence in the
streets, have taken a peculiarly Hibernian mode of
aiding the Government in its stress forsoldiers. Mr.

has voted 1,000,000 dollars for the same pur-

providing Mr. Chase with greenbacks. The ab.

New York is concerned, Mr. Opdyke, the mayor,
has resolved to defeat the appropriation by his veto.
