RIOTS AND THE DRAFT.

Our dispatches report trouble in various
sections, about the draft, and yesterday
morning, q riot is reported in the Third
District of New York. If the Copperheads
mean to make an issue with the Govern
ment oTer the draft, the sooner the loyal
patriotic masses know it, the better. In
this matter Of the draft, the
Government must be sustained
or all law and all safety are clean gone for
ever. It would be well for all our citizens
to look at this subject calmly. If ire
sponsible scoundrels-demagogues who
have nothing to lose, attempt to set at de-
tiance the laws and the authorities Of the
country they must be put down and pun
iEhed at all hazards Any faltering
now is destruction to all we
hold dear as people. If Copperheads
Try to make disturbance, let the military
be at once called out, and let them use ball
cartridge first and blanks when the knares
begin to run There must be no f1inching
In the face Of this new and dctcstable foe
perhaps even now lurking in our very
midst, Let every patriot make up his
mind calmly and firmly that the draft
must be sustained.

efforts by our armies for few months at
most will crush. G1ierson's raid through
Mississippi showed not only that there was
no army in all that region, but that the
rebels had not the means to raise one.
This is further shown by the fact that with
all his best efforts for weeks past Johnston
has not been able to collect forcc' enough
to attack Grant in the rear. Holmes,
though attacking Prentiss with d vastly
superior force, was terribly thrashed, the
fact showing that he had drawn his forces
from the drcgs of the Southern "white
trash" The chivalry would have made
much moro determined fight
Whether Lees's army escapes OF not, the
draft will soon put forces enough at the
command Of the Government to capture
ore destroy his army. !: It will be impossi-
bic for him and JEFF. Davis to raise and Or
ganize another. Withpits destruction or
capture the best fighting material Of the
South will be exhausted, and the end of
the rebellion will begin from the time that
is accomplished. :.
While, therefore, 1t Is unw1se to expect
an immediate end Of the, war the loyal
people Of the North have the best OF rea-
sons to prosecute it with renewed Yipor
and hope. The time when our national
unity. will be fully established and the

TUESDAY, JULY IA, 1868.


THE CAPTURE OF V1CRSHUxkt3.
We devote much Of our space this morn
= fhg to the letters Of our vicksburg CORES
pondents, detailing the events connected
with the surrender Of that c1ty, which SO
long has been the all-engrossing topic in
hepopu1ar mind We need not call the
attention of cur readers to tho interesting
details with which these letters abound
They will be read with avidity.' Our cor
respondents were among the very first to
enter The city, and, have photographed, IS
it were, all the points Of interest from the
first flag Of truce to the raising Of the Stars
and Stipcs ADORE the Court House. The
Father Of Waters never beheld a more
glorious spectacle than On that Fourth Of
July morning, when the army Of freedom
passed through the shattered works Of
.Vicksburg into the city. to the glorious
strains Of the ftBAI11E cRy OF FREEnoM''
their tattered battle flags waving above
them, the heroes Of many well fought
dcld.
& Two important: facts are developed in
the letters Of our correspondents. 1gt
That the rank and file OF the rebel troops
were heartily sick Of the siege, andsecretly
rejoieed over the surrender. Mule beet
makese poor stomach for a fight. starv-
alton and the constant rain Of shot and
shell conquered them The shell Is great
demoralizer, and after forty-aix days taste
Of them not even the most def1ant rebel
could endure the thought that the forty
seventh day, the Fourth Of July, might
add double terror to the shrieling enginery
of death.
The second prominent fact Is the thor
ough character OF Unionism effected by the
cannon and the bayonet- The 1cgions of
Gen. Grant have to-day made Vicksburg
comparatively a Union city. Thoroughly
conquer the rebels and you will thoroughly
make them believers in the Union, has been
satisfactorily proven The last ditch is
: pleasant myth, soothing to the bombastic
Southern chivalry, but before the stern
logic Of the cannon and bayonet, all desire
=. to end their days in that imaginary local
hy is merged in n speedy impatience for
return to the Union. What Is true of
Vicksburg is true Of Richmond and
Char1eston-true Of the whole South. The
=: fall Of Vlcksburg has exposed the weak
ness Of the bogus Confcderacy.

CONVERSATIONS
The rebels are very anxious to f1nd ont sut-
lers, and when they offer Confederate scrip
aud are refused, they seem astonished. They
do not yet comprehend the fact that the
Southern ConfederacJ ID not current with
business men, By repeated conversations
with the rank and tile Of the army. ] am fully
satisfied that the majority asked and hoped for
speedily terminate the war. They are tired
Of 1t and would be perfectly willing
to adopt the old Union. Two intelligent cit
liens remarked to me to-day that the fall Of
Vicksburg-1 Is the announcement Of the doom
awaiting the Southern Confederacy. In their
opinion, 1t were far better to 1oso Richmond
One Of them, an dttaehe Of their army, who
claims to know the strength Of tie several
armies, says there are seventeen thousand ut

Neither portion Of the party is able 10 sustain

termination to oppose Vallandighan at eyery

ANCHn

General sMeade is exceedingly afable in
conversation, easily approached and Of lively,
engaging manners. With no outward pr.
tensions to superiority, hepreseryes dignity
which is noticeable beneath his carless ex-
terror. His form is gaunt and thin, Impress
Ing the idea of bodily tenacity rather than
strength, and q capacity to endure fatigue
that We could not predict of 4 more robust
and inyincible figure, His high top boots aud
loose blouse are bespattered with mud, and,
were it not for his shonlder-straps and intel.
1igent face, It would be difficult to distinguish
that he was not 8 private in the rapks. His
face is almost covered with beard, and his
neck displays leather stock TINT might have
been used In the days Of his ancestors. He is
otherwise collnrles6, and his face il color1ess,
being Of . ghastiy pale, with thought, study
and anxiety marked upon gevery lneameut.
His mind speaks through his eye, and tells
you at glance that before you stands n1an
who is equal to any responsibility, and not
afraid to meet it In any shape. His nose is OF
tue antique bend, which Is the most proui-
neut feature of the face. He appears rest
less and nervous man, quick to move, but
not 20 quick that celer1ty would destroy
Eteadiness. When addressed he turns sud-
