he10iclnE over The flgfss
The New York riots throw the rebel
leaders into eostacies The joy of the
Richmond papers is almost too big for ut
terance. With frenzied delight they
gloat over the scenes of rapine aud mur-
der. Why? Because these riots are di-
rect. adjunctive aids to the great rebel
lion. The same spirit underlies each
A line of sympathy runs through them
both.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th
inst, glorifes thus:
We have some intelligence from the
North this morning far from welcome, and
much more important than foreign iHterUsE-
ton. The Peace Meetings in Ne17 York, so
bitterly ridiculed by the unthinking-
those safe parallels by which the anti-war
people of the North were working into
open resistance to Linooln's Government
hare borne their fruit. The white flag has
been suddenly lowered, and the red battle
flag now waves in New York over streets
wet with the gore of Lincoln's hated min
ions. This grand movementin New York
is but the precursor of series of similar
outbreaks. Already have riots followed
in Hartford, Connecticut, and Newark,
New Jersey, and in a few days we shall
hear from the West.p
"These demonstrations may, and doubt
less will, be put down by the iron hand of
the military, but there l0iH be no enforcement
of the draft after quiet is restored. These
people have elected to die in the streets
rather than submit to the hateful tyranny
ofLincoln, and have proved themselves in
earnest by pouring out their blood They
have shown aspirit which Lincoln, too glad
to see subside, will never again rouse. A.
ready he IS eolCeriRg before Il and fegegraphs
II e oUernoT Seymour that the draft agiH be
suspended IN Rel0 York. When he shall
have had time to fill the city with troops
this promise may not be respected but he
cannot fill all, or even half dozen, of the
large cities at the North with sufficient
force to enforce the conscription. He has
not men to spare, and lOs may U:ry sdteLy con-
ctude that the days as aOeU as the soldiers of
the Federal army are numbered. There 1viV
De no addition TO its strength, and IL is con-
Jessed on all hands that the present YdnEee
force under arms can ReUer begin to'subdue the
Confederdcy. Let us have more of these
outpouriDgs-a few more great cities on
the mourners' bench-some more cutting
and saeking of houses, and hanging and
mutilating of men. It saUes the Confederate
troops deal Of marching and fighting, and
lops off many a dreary month of this war.
The sacking and burning has been hereto
fore at the South. Our compliments to our
Northern " brethren" and may they en-
joy their turn" -r
Thus do rebel newspapers and leaders
claim, that these riots in Northern cities
are fighting the battles Of the rebellion -
Pandemonium itself never gave forth q
more exuberant howl of delight over
scenes of woe, than does the incarnate
spirit of the pit as exhibited by these
rebel leaders, in their rejoicings over the
scenes of murder and violence of which
the terrible and inhuman riots in New
FORK were so fruitful.
The Richmond paper above quoted re-
iOices in these riots, and is happy in the
anticipation of more, because their ten
iency is to weaken the cause of the
Union, cripple the Government, and aid
md strengthen the rebellion. The Dis.
patch, equally with the "Peace party" of
he North, the inciters of riots, is opposed
o the draft, because its effects will be to
Itrengthen the armies Of the Union.
ThesemObs save the Confederate troops
deal Of marching and fighting says the
Dispatch. Yes the labors of the peace
men," who stir up mobs at the North, are
ne with the rebels in arms-one in spirit
ne in design, equally the enemies of the
Government and the Union.
The pleasing anticipations of hopeless
? crippled Government, are not likely to
e gratifed. The United States Govern
lent will fearlessly, faithfully, and sue
essfully, too, discharge its duty, though
y so doing peaee-at-any- price men North,
nd rebels South, are brought to sorrow
nd grief and, slike, with sympathetic an
uish howl forth their vengefui, but impO-
mt rage.
