3psciAl Dispatch to Tho N Y. Tribuns.

HOW THE SOLDIERS REGARD THE RIOT.
The soldiers Of the Army Of the Potomac look upon
the proceedings of the brutal mob in New-York' in
the same light as The TRIBUNE does. The New.
York city aud Brooklyn regiments, who have been
ordered home, are burning with impotence to get
there, that thoy may put down all attempts TO pre-
vent the enforcement Of the law which obliges cow
ards and Copperhoads. as well as patriots to serve
their country. Although some Of these regiments
have been on the march for not ess than sixteen
days, the though, that they called homo to de-
fend their fresides from tho attacks Of tho meanest
cau OF Rebels, supports them under fatigue and
privation. OF no ordinary character.
One who has talked with many men in several Of
these regiments communicates the above statements,
which he says represent the feelings OF every man
whom he saw.
POSITION OF GEN. LEES ARMY.
Gen Lees army is reported to be mas,ed between
the river and Williamsport, covering the Martins
burg road wincheslerward. The Rebel trains are
moving down the valley exposed to our cavalry. IL
/, thought that Gen. Meade now, If bis move
ments are prompt, eiiectually cut oil the Rebel army
from Richmond.

to attend personally to the wounded still remaining
there.
THE PRESIDENT URGED TO DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW IN NEw-yoRK.
Senator Foot of Vermont, who arrived in town
last night, had an interview two hours in length
with tho President to-day. in which he urged him TO
declare martial law in New-York, aud to assign Gen.
Butler TO the command.
The President made = similar reply 70 that which
he gave to other gentlemen who yesterday urged
him 10 Adop, this course namely, that for the pres
en-, the authorities Of New.York seemed competent
to the work Of ruppressing the riot, and tha. until il
got the better OF them, the Genera! Government
would not deem it necessary to interfere. In con-
nection with the widespread opinion that Gen. But
Ter is the man for New.York in this exigency. bis
request and prophecy not many weeks after his re-
turn from New Orleans are brought TO mind.
Gen. Butler asked the President 10 give him the
DEPARTMENT Of New-York, considering II one Of the
moe, important commands In tho country. He said
tina. disturbances were TO DO apprehended there
which il would be necessary TO discover in their n
fancy and to crush with an iron hand. Hs believed
tha, organizations, affiliated with the Rebellion ex
sted in tho city which would seize the frat oppor-
tuni,y for M outbreak. Newt Orleans taught him
