WARRINGTON. July 81, 1859.
The Charleston Courier OF the l4th inst says.
We may expect the enemy to be severely pun
iehed If he persists In his present under
taking, but We may be disappointed. Our
hopes may prove dclnsion. The capture Of
our city may pe1chauce delight the enemy's
base and corrupt heart, In case that ffightfol
calamity fa1l upon us. They who remain
nefe must sufer grleyoue evils. The woes
'nes viii have poured out upon them will be
1ar heavier than those under which. the cIti-
zens Of New Orleans, Nashville and Memphis
have G1oaned, for the vile foe hates the peo-
pie ot this State with a ten.fold more bi ter
hatred than he en.ertains for the Inhabitants
Of any other section, and he will not spare us
! when he comes As conqueror. On tho suppo-
tion of the foes success, i. Is our dut: to

The editor Of the Savannah R<pu6lieaa, y1t.
tirg to his paper from Charleston, says the
disaster on Morris Island Is attributable to
bad engineering. for which come one should
be held responsible. The lower battery WAS
shocking affair, and our men left it only WHEN
the carriages Of the guns had been shattered
TO pieces. The battle, in the attack on Fort
Wagner, Was the bloodiest and most destruc:
tive of the war. He was willing to do Justice
10 brave foe 1t may be added that more
daring and gallant assault ha. not been made
on either side since the commencement Of the

The Richmond Sentinel giycs full details Of
the New York riots, and says:
The great riot in New York, Of which we
give accounts to day, is very significant and
IN important Sign Of opposition to the con-
scriptlop. Lincoln has been compelled to
suspend the draft, and Gov. Seymour was con
etrafned to promise this.
The Richmond EaQairer says Of these mobs:
We have but to pereeyere in our deterMin-
I'd resistance and gisd ourselvesto the task OF
tccuripg our Independence more sternly than
tver. Tet q little while aud We shall see the
giant but hollow bulk Of the Yankee nation
bursting into ffagm+n1s and rushing down
into perdition In flames Of blood.
Concerning Lce's retreat, the Richmond
E1amtser Of the 18th says:
The abandonment OF the invasion gives
sensible relief to the majority o. cur people,
As the Potomac is no longer between the
army and its base of supplies.
TIE Dispatch makes similar remarks. The
Sthtinel considers the movement as matter
Of general qualification, In view Of the swol-
lei condition Of the river aud the constant
r3lns. which suspend all military operations.
Tie HAig says TINT, politically. the move is
. good one, as 1t takes from Lincoln all excuse
ftr eonscription.. In military point Of yiew.
it is no less so, since Gen. Lee made it.
