General Dix has superseded General Wool in
New York. The city is much quieter, although
collisions between the military and the mob con-
tinue. It is officially announced that the Govern-
ment will sustain the enforcement of the draft with
military force. This determination, announced this
afternoon, it is supposed will cause the renewal of
still bloodier riots.
Governor Seymour and the Democratic press are
opposed to the draft as unconstitutional, whilst the
Republican press insists that it must be carried out
at all hazards.
The Republican and Democratic journals are
becoming more vituperative in their mutual abuse,
each party accusing the other of being responsible
for the riots. This course is inflaming the public
mind and adding to the danger.
Andrews, one of the leaders of the mob, has been
arrested.
The New York 7th Militia Regiment is on duty
against the rioters.
President Lincoln has ordered the 2d of August
to be set apart as a day of thanksgiving for victories
so effcctive and signal as to furnish reasonable
grounds for augmented confidence that the Union
and the constitution will be preserved, and that
peace and prosperity will be permanently main-
tained.

General Banks officially reports the unconditional
surrender of Port Hudson on the Bth inst.
Unofficial advices state that the garrison of Port
Hudson numbered 7,000, with 35 field pieces, 25
siege-guns, and 10,000 stand of arms.
Later Vicksburg advices report General Sherman
to be still pursuing General Johnstone, General
Meade's army changed its position yesterday. The
Federal cavalry has captured 100 prisoners in the
rear of General Lee's army, near Charleston,
Virginia. General Morgan has reached George-
town, Ohio.
Federal gunboats with a large force have left
Cincinnati to prevent Morgan from crossing the
Ohio river.

It is semi-officially announced that the question
of peace has not come before the Washington
Cabinet, no condition of affairs having yet existed
rendering it necessary to entertain so important a
proposition. The Cabinet is agreed that the best
way to obtain peace is to prosecute the war
vigorously.

NEW YORK, July 18 (Morning).
The reported capture of Charleston is untrue.
General Lee's army was yesterday at Front
Royal. Lee is said to be marching to Richmond.
The Richmond Enquirer says the capture of
Vicksburg, Bragg's retreat, Lee's repulse, and the
attack on Charleston, are the most serious disasters
that have attended the Confederate arms since the
commencement of the war.

General Neal Dow has arrived at Richmond as a

prisoner.

All persons in the South refusing to take up arms
are to be sent out of the Confederacy.
Letters from Charleston of the 12th state that
five iron-clads and 15 gun boats are off Fort Sum-
ter. Ten gun boats, one 40-gun frigate, and the
new ironsides, were passing the bar. The Federal
batteries on Morris Island would take part in the
bombardment of Fort Sumter.
General Morgan has sacked Jackson, Ohio. He
is reported to be hemmed in by the Federals.
The United States Circuit Court has reversed the
decision of the lower court condemning the barque
Express, the judge deciding that a vessel may ap-
proach a blockaded port to ascertain the state of the
blockade, provided she does so in good faith.
New York is now nearly perfectly quiet.
Archbishop Hughes has addressed a concourse of
5,000 persons in front of his residence. He told
them they were called rioters, but he could not see
a riotous face amongst them, if they were Irishmen,
as their enemies said the rioters were. He was an
Irishman, but not a rioter. He recommended them
to keep quiet, though in case of a violent assault
upon their rights without provocation every man
had a right to defend his house or his church with
his life. The speaker several times alluded in
p by
violent terms to England, saying—" He did not
envy John Bull in replacing a noble population
a race of fat bullocks. Ireland," he said,

The archbishop has also addressed
a letter to the
New York Herald, ,stigmatising the remarks of the
New York Tribune and the Evening P
concern-
ing himself as lies Post , and declaring that the editors
of those papers have contributed to bring about the
present national and municipal difficulties.
The Republican r p ess argue that the riots in New
York are really part and parcel of the Southern
rebellion, while the democratic press essert the ob-
noxious conditions of the draft to be the sole cause.

NEW YORK, July 18, Evening.
The riots in this city have materially subsided.
The Government will enforce the draft.
The capture of Port Hudson has been officially
confirmed. -
