The shocking details Of the New York
riots In resisting the enforcement Of the
enrolment act are fraught with q most
suikiog and memorable lesson. We
may search In vain through the record
Of The Southern rebellion, dark as It is,
for any outrage more wanton, inbuman,
and v%illsinous. Il was a most revolving
exhibition Of human wickedness, which
no negro whipping guerrilla in the troop
Of Morgan CT Forrest ever surpassed.
The outbreak was predicted weeks ago.
Fernando Wood, and the thieves, muv.
derers and burglars who infest the liquor
dens and broth,ls Of the Five Points aud
other infamous localities Of New York,
had threatened to refist the Enrolment
by force and the World, Recorder, Free
mans journal aud Nsi0s, called on the
people to assert their rights, Handbills
of the most inhamma,Ory tone, were
posted over the city, of which the fol-
l,wing is q specimen:

lion Admirable; the stencil thereof rises
toward Heaven, 90 the stencil Of Sodom

ni~nistration tolerated all this torrent Of
d~enunciation and the copperheads poured

lives Of more than . hundred citizens
Already--it May cost many scores

fruit OF the furious war which the cop
perhead journals from Louisville to New

have done more harm 20 the Government
and given more joy to The rebels, than
the forces Of Pemberton or Lee.
How delighted the rebels OF this COR
rupt and dislOyal city arel How their
eyes gloat over the dispatches which tell
Of houses burned aud Quilted, Of men,
women and children, murdered, by .
wild mob on the streets Of New York.
Ah, il is the only cup Of consolation they
have had for a long time, but it cheers
aud invigOrates them exceedingly. They
look eagerly for other riots, In other
