On Saturday morning Morgan's forces were
overtaken gear Poreroy by Gems. Hobson
and Judah, who had formed junction. Nor
gan finding himself in close quarters, and
learning that the ford at Burlington Island
was well guarded, broke up his band into
small squads In order to escape. One squad,
with six pieces Of artillery, made for the cross
ing at Burlington. Our gunboats drove them
back with loss OF $50 killed. Our cavalry
charged and captured their battery, killing
number of the rebels. Coils. Malford and Shack
elford succeeded in capturing one lot of 515,
and another OF 275, besides numerous squads,
making in all over 1000 prisoners. Our cav
airy is in pursuit of the balance of the com
mand, which Is entirely broken up and scatter
ed among the hills. The position of our forces
is such that they cannot cross the Ohio nor
get much further North. Stragglers are being
continually captured. Basilduke was captur-
ed near Pomeroy this morning; 1900 have
been taken go far. Maj. Brown is commanding.
A battalion Of the 10th Kentucky cavalry

been turned back. He was moving this afier-
noon towards Galliopolis, closely followed by

the fight the rebels moved up the river to
Belleyille, ahead of the gunboats, and by
threats compelled the citizens TO furnish fiat
boats with which 800 escaped to the Virginia
shore just as the gunboats hove in sight. The
remainder on the Ohio shore were attacked
and scattered.
Our men continued to track them up until
about 1900 were leit, who finally succeeded in

sB- Our Geographic dispatches began to
come along last night about 10 o'clock. In
about half an hour afterwards the line between
Calais and Boston was taken up In sending
through foreign news, aud, after that was com
pleted, in sending private messages by the
steamer at Halifax, occupying the line, to the
exclusion of our dispatches from the South,
until near half past one o'clock. This is not
the first time the papers Of this city have been
hindered in this way from obtaining their reg
ular dispatches until it was almost too late to
use them. The agent of the Associated Press
at New York should provide that, on occasions
of this kind, an extra man should be used be-
tween this city and Boston, and an extra OPP
orator provided in both the Portland and Bos-
ton offices. The Portland papers could then
receive their dispatches without interruption
from sending news from steamer.

From New York-Order of Gov. Seymour.
New YORK, July 20.
TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS,
St. Nicholas Hotel New York City. July 10th.
A sufficient force OF the National Guard OF
the State of New York having arrived in this
citv to enable the civil authorities to maintain
the public peace and enforce order, the Com
mander-in- Chief directs that the several citi-
zen volunteer organizations formed under his
authority for the emergency be relieved from
further duty. The persons in command OF the
several detachments of citizen volunteers to
whom arms have been furnished upon the or
der OF the Governor, are directed to return
such arms to Brig. Gen. James A. Farrell,
Commissary General of Ordnance, at the State
Arsenal, corner of 7th Avenue and 35th Sts-
The Commissary General will receive and give
receipt for the same. He will also report to
these headquarters all persons to whom arms
were so delivered, and who neglect to return
the same pursuant to this order.
The Commander-in-Chief takes this oppor-
tunity of thanking those citizens who prompt
ly responded to his call by volunteering to as
sist in restoring tranquility. Many gentle
men deserve to be especially named, but the
Communicating Chief can only on this oc-
casion acknowledge his obligations, and those
of the State and city, to all who rendered as
sistance in maintaining the peace and good or
der of the city.
tSigned) II. SEYMOUR,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief
The draft will not begin until the exact quo
Ia of the city is definitely determined and pub
licly announced, by which time government

The British Consul has notified the police
commissioners that he has ordered the ship-of-
war Challenge TO take position In the river for
the purpose OF protecting colored seamen, sub

A card from James T. Brady, against mob
law, is published. in which he states that the
real authors of the late riots were kept in Sc
cure secresy. He will pay the $500 exemption
for any four men Of family whose courage be-
ing good are so placed they cannot leave their
families. Ifhe were richer he would do more.
He will also do all in his power to have the
draft tested before the courts and its constitu-
tionality decided; but he begs the brave but
misled men who are willing TO fight for their
principles, not to let themselves he used by
political sneaks who don't care how many
houses are burned or lives are lost, if their
own schemes can be promoted consistently
with personal safety.

that the rebel army has not made as rapid

stating that the bulk of Lees army is still in
the vicinity os Winchester. There was also
quite large rebel force at Bunker Hill, which
is between Winchester and Martinsburg, yes

Gen. Meade's army is at present, but there is
