The New York City Riot.

Theriotin New York city has assumed the
most formidable proportions. Organized
in opposition to the CONSUMPTION act, it
has spread into general raid upon prop
erty, and is engaged in indiscriminate
plumber and destruction. 1t was undertake
en- at most opportune moment for tenn
porary success. Every available regi-
ment or company had been dispatched by
Gov. SEYMOUR in aid of Pennsylvania,
and the city was comparatively barren of
troops. 1t is presumed the forts and de-
fences of the city and harbor had also been
stripped of their ordinary garrisons for the
same purpose; and the lawless mob saw an
easy opportunity to plumber and destroy
with measurable impunity
This impunity was rather countenanced
than discouraged by the tame opposition
of the slight military force at hand. The
telegraph tells US of the firing of blank car
tridges at band of demons engaged in
indiscriminate burning, pillage, and MUIR
der. 1t is true cold lead was used I'M one
or two instances, and with satisfactory re.
suits; but the general conduct of the au-
thorities seems to have been devoid of
spirit or courage.
The course of Governor SEYMOUR, as
reported by telegraph, appears to have
been unworthy the man and his position
He is reported to have temporized with
the mob, and even to have gone so far as
to telegraph the President for a suspen-
sion Of the draft We trust this may
prove to be false. His place was to up
hold the laws at whatever sacrifice; anil
instead of pleading the mercy of the cut
throat rabble, he should have forced them
with grape and canister, and strewn
City Hall Park with their wretched car
cases, had they persisted in their contu-
macy.
The precedent set some twenty years
ago, at the Astor Place riots, was most
salutary, and should have been followed
in the present case. Then, the killing of
score or so, quellel riot which began
more formidably than this; and served as
a guaranty for peace from that outbreak
to the present. It's the only true method,
and its prompt application is the highest
mercy to any community afflicted with the
mob mania

Avoiding the Field

The New York World well remarks
that the Southern members of Congress
who were most combative in the forum
have also been leaders in the field, and
many of them have sealed with their
blood the secession to which they stimu-
lated with speech. What prominent abe
litionists have yet been killed in action !?
What has any one of them attacked ey-
cept the treasury Of the United States?
BARKsDALE falls pierced with wounds at
Gettysburg. TooMBs headed charge at
Antietam; but SUMNER and LovEJoY new
er yet have sought to taste that feast of
fight which they SO carefully spread for
others. And though WILSON ate great
dinner in New York as a Massachusetts
Colonel, he led his regiment no farther
than Washington, and he smelt no gun
powder except in the way of salutes.

PrOdigiOus /!

Richmond papers of the 9Th inst. illus
trate the art of lying in style hitherto
unprecedented. They make out an un-
paralleled victory for LEE at Gettysburg,
in which t,oenty thousand Yankees were
slain and forty thousand captured. They
place GRANT in the "iron hand" of JOE
JOHNSTON, very much in the style that an
unfortunate little mouse is sometimes
placed in the iron jaws of rat-trap.
And upon the strength of rebel dispatch
from Jackson, Mississippi, July 9th, which
makes the announcement that there was
very little firing at Vicksburg yesterday! !"
Considering the yesterday " in question
was the day on which Gen. GRANT made
his triumphal entry into Vicksburg, this
part of the dispatch has an air of proba-
bility!
Through the glory that irradiates from
these marvellous rebel achievements the
excited Richmond editors catch pleasant
glimpses of coming peace 1t is really
unpleasant, the thought that such gor-
geous dreams must be spoiled

Observation-Disclosures

We have published LIEooLN's reply to
the application Of the Ohio Committee for
the release Of VAILANprGHAM, and the fol-
lowing is the concluding part Of the Com
mittee's rejoinder:
The people of Ohio were not deeply moved
by the action of the President, merely because
they were concerned for the personal safety or
convenience of Mr.. Vallandigham, but because
they saw in his arrest and Punishment an at
tack upon their own personal rights and they
attach value to his discharge chiefly, as it will
indicate an abandonment of the claim to the
power OF such arrest and Punishment, How
ever just the undersigned might regard the
principles contained in the several propositions
submitted by the President. or how much
soever they might, under other circum-
stances, feel inclined to indorse the SEN
timents contained therein, vet thew
assure him that they have not been authorized
to enter into any bargains, terms, contracts, or
conditions with the President of the United
States to procure the release of Mr. Vallandig-
ham. The opinions of the undersigned, touch
ing the questions involved in these PROPOSE
lions, are well known, have been many times
publicly expressed, and are sufficiently mani
tested in the resolutions of the convention
which they represent, and they cannot suppose
that the President expects that they will seek
the discharge of Mr.. Vallandigham by pledge
Employing not only an imputation upon their
own sincerity and fidelity as citizens of the
United States, but also carrying with it by
implication concession of the 6gality of his
arrest trial and punishment, against which
they and the convention they represent, have
solemnly protested And while they have ask
ed the revocation of the order of Punishment
not as a favor, but as a right, due to the people
of Ohio, and with view to avoid the POSSIBLE
ity of conflict or disturbance of the public
tranquility, they do not do this, nor does Mr.
Vallandigham desire it, at any sacrifice of their
dignity and self-respect.
The idea that such pledge as that asked
from the undersigned would secure the public
safety sufficiently to compensate for any mis-
take of the President in discharging Mr.. Val
landigham is, N their opinion, mere evasion
OF the grave questions involved in this discus
sion, and of a direct. answer to their demand.
And this is made especially apparent by the
fact that this pledge is asked in a commando
ton which concludes with an intimation of
disposition on the part of the President to re-
peat the acts complained Of
The undersigned therefore, having fully dis
charged the duty enjoined upon them, leave
the responsibility with the President
(Signed by the Committee.)

JeG. Davis, view. of vicksburs.

jeff Davis made pilgrimage to the
State of Mississippi last December, inspec-
ted the defences of Vicksburg, and pro-
nounced them good and the day after
Christmas delivered congratulatory
speech before the Mississippi Legislature
in the capitol, at Jackson. In that speech,
adverting to the movements Of the Union
armies, he said:
NScksbmy and Port Hudson are the real points
Of attack. Every effort viii be made to capture
these places, with the object of forcing the
navigation ofthe Mississippi, of cutting off our
communications with the trans-M Mississippi De.
partment, and of severing the western from
the eastern portion of the Confederacy. Let
then, all scho hare at heart the safety of the coun-
try, go acitaout delay to Vicks5ury and Port Hud-
son; let them go for such length of time as they
can spare-for thirty, or sixty, or for ninety
days. Let them assist in preserving the Missis-
sippi River, that great artery of the country,
and thus conduce, more than, In 0ny other acdy to
The pe'petuatson Of the Confsderacy and the sue
cess of the cause.
JEFF Davis was right. He had just
appreciation Of the value of vicksburg and
Port Hudson to the s'perpetuation of the
Confederacy." His opinion was shared by

viclksburg.

On the 14th of January, 1861, the fol-.
lowing dispatch appeared in all the daily
newspapers:
JACKSON, Miss, January, ~, 1861.-Artillery
was ordered to Vicksburg this morning, by
Governor Pettus, to hail and bring to all pass
ing boats.
This was the beginning of rebel inter-
ference with the navigation of the Missis-
sippi River. The artillery sent from Jack
son consisted Of the Quitman Battery, and
had brilliant reception by the people of
Vicksburg, who were very anxious to have
their "rights,' and have at last got them.
On the night. of the 18th of January, 1851,
the Quitman Battery attempted to fire on
the steamer A. o. Taylor, Captain COL
LrER, and were only prevented from doing
SO by their awkwardnes in getting the
printing of their guns wet.

After the surrender of Vicksburg, Gen.
SHERMAN moved against Gen. JOHNSON,
defeating him in q general engagement,
and capturing 1000 prisoners.
Gen. Brace has retreated from Chat
tanooga to Administering up that great
strategic point without battle. ROSE
GRAMS has taken 1000 prisoners in his for
ward movement.
The news of the capture of Port Hudson,
which was given yesterday merely as
rumor, is fully confirmed. The surrender
took place on the 9Th inst, and on the 9th
Gen. BANKS took possession. The rebels
lost 1000 men, thirty-fve field pieces,
twenty-five siege guns, and 10000 stand
of small arms. The principal obstacles to
the opening Of the Mississippi are now re-
moved, but we fear it will be sometime be-
fore steamers will run from St. Louis to
New Orleans without danger of guerrilla
attacks. 1t looks very much as if the
heavy fighting at the West was about over,
and that we shall have to lend the East a
helping hand to finish up their part of the
work.
Gen. LEE has finally succeeded in
making retreat across the Potomac. On
Saturday night, LEE withdrew from the
line of the Antietam and massed his whole
army on the neck of land opposite Falling
Water creek. This neck is surrounded on
three sides by the Potomac, thus effectu-
ally protecting the tanks of the rebel army
and enabling them to proceed with the
work of crossing in comparative security.
Our cavalry overlook their rear guard, and
captured about 1000 prisoners, and killed
Gen. PETnGREw, of South Carolina, dis
tinguished rebel officer who was wounded
and taken prisoner in the Peninsula cam
paign. We have endeavored to dissuade
our readers from indulging in anticipations
of ''bagging the rebel army" but the per-
sistency of the telegraph in holding out the
belief in the probability of such an event,
will cause some disappointment.
We have the unexpected news of an
other attack on the rebel defences of
Charleston. The point attacked was Nor
ris Island, just below Fort Sumter. The
capture of this Island will lead to the re-
duction of Sumter by regular seige.
There are many interesting particu-
lars of the riot in New York. Our latest
dispatch announces that the riot was sub
siding, and that plumber was the main
object of the mob. Five New York city
regiments have been ordered home, and
we presume the draft will be proceeded
with as if nothing had occurred to inter-
rlDt it.

Presentation of Magnificent Car.
rage and Pair to Mrs. Governor
Yates.

The Cincinnati Commercial has the fol-
lowing in regard to certain presents to
Mrs. Gov. Yates, about which the Chicago
papers have been making much ado:
1t is very well known that persons who
make costly presents to official parsonage, are
unlikely to do so out of pure personal regard,
and, in ninety-nine cases out of hundred ex-
pect, through some official of semi-official
channel, to get their money back. 1t is a pity
Governor Yates had not sense enough to return
the elegant six-seated phaeton," costing
nearly one thousand dollars" and ''pair of no
BILE Kentucky bays" ''at cost of fifteen hum
dred dollars" and harness ''superb, (" that 'cost
one hundred and fifty dollars, total, two
thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars--to his
admirers" If those admirers are men whose
good opinion is desirable, they would have had
great deal more respect for him on foot, than
in the elegant" drawn by the noble" and so
on. Now the Governor will be obliged to
have couple of servants to take rides with
him; and 1t viii be positively necessary they
should wear white gloves and coats, outglitter-
ing In buttons the breasts of field officers. A
severe case or two of public virtue in promin-
emit men just now would not have an unwhole-
some influence on human affairs.

Texas.

The cut-throat chivalry of the "Lone
Star State" do not appear to be much bet
ter pleased with their situation in JEFF.
Davis fire than they were before they
jumped out of the Union frying pan. The
orders OF the rebel military satraps there
away are not at all to their liking. Speak
ing of the rebel military administration, a
paper published in Austin says:
One thing is certain-should it be endorsed
and continued, a State Governor aciU be elected
upon. the issue, and the least of tvo evils, sub
n1assaoe to usurped poa0er, or the Lone Star Ruq.
they aciU choose the latter. God forbid that smch

ment and will discard the chains of seryitude:

The Cabinet Engaged in Discussions
over the Basis of Peace.

The subject Of peace basis, it appears
by the telegraph, has been matter Of
Cabinet discussion. As in almost every
thing connected with the war, and it's
management, wide difference exists be-
tween the conservative and radical wings
of Mr.. LINcoLN's advisers.
SEWARD, with BATES and BLAIR to back
him, proposes an offer of amnesty to the
Southern people, coupled with suspen-
sion of the confscation act, and free
pardon in person and property to all ex-
cept military and civil officers. These
latter to retain their property, bat to be
ineligible to Office.
CHASE, supported by STANTON, &C., in
sists upon total abolition of slavery after
1876, except as to minors, who are to re-
main such until they reach legal age, and
slaves over forty years, who are to become
free at their own option; loyal slave states
only to be compensated for their manu-
mitted negroes; and the Federal Consti-
tuition to be amended by striking out the
provision which recognizes slavery as a
basis of political representation
The President, it is said, has not yet
expressed his opinion between the two
projects.
SEwARD's proposition is one that would
restore peace within six months after the
rebels are fairly beaten in the field; while
CHAsE's would prolong the war until the
Southern people were not merely beaten,
but exterminated. That is the practical
difference between the conservative and
radical schemes for settling the rebellion.

The Approach to asichmond.

The Richmond papers Of the 29th and
oOth ult. are full of speculations as to the
result OF DiX's approach to Richmond, and
OF appeals to the citizens to fly to arms.
The following is one OF the notices. posted
about the city:
My. fet5oa0 citizens TO 4yulS-I have lust re-
celyed message, direct from the highest
authority in the confederacy TO call upon the
militia organizations to come forth, and upon
all other citizens to organize companies for the
defence Of this city against immediate attack of
the enemy They are approaching and YOU
may meet them before Monday morning I
can donO more than give you this warning of
their near approach. Remember New Orleans
Richmond Is now IN your hands. Let it not
tall under the rule Of another Butler Rally
then, to your officers tomorrow morning at
10 O'Clock, on Broad street, in front of the
City Hail. JOS. MAYO,
Mayor of Richmond
Saturday afternoon, June 81 1868.
If the Sentinel of that city is to be be-
leved, the people responded in large num-
bers. 1t says that almost every man obey
ed the call and rushed to arms. Their
papers estimate that Dix has 10, 600 or 10
600 troops and they say their city is thor
ougly prepared for him. They think Dix's
object is to devastate the country between
Richmond and Washington, and to break
up communications in case Lee should
wish to fall back. They claim, however,
to have enough troops to garrison Rich
mond, and still followup Dix, OF even at
tack Washington. can this was of course
before they had heard of the disaster to
Lee.) The E:cdnoirer of the 1st, says that
excited individuals keep coming into the
city from the country, with wild reports
that Dix has larger army than McClel-
Ian had; that he had approached Hanover
town, and similar stories. But the E:r-
anaaner still inclnes to the belief that Dix
will not advance on Richmond, and dis
credits that he has much of an army. 1t |
contains a notice of British subjects, call
ing upon all British subjects, in that city
to organize company for the defence of
the city. The E:cdmiaer of the 30th says
OF their preparations for the Yankees:
Behind the excellent defences of Richmond, |
with its thirty-five hundred trained artillerists
OF Col. Rhett, these citizens can hold the city
against Gen. Dix without the aid of the army
corps that has been assembled around the city. |
The garrison of, Richmond, may, therefore,
be considered splendid reserve for the army |
of Gen. Lee. 1t may, with safety, move on
Washington as soon as Gen. Curtis Lee has
perfected his newly organized force in drill and
The militia of Virginia. lately called
out by her Governor will soon swell the ranks

The Draft--con,ingents Assigned.

The indications are that the govern
will demand, Under the CONSUMPTION law,
about four hundred thousand men. The
levy will be made by Congressional dis
tricts, instead of directly on the States,
as heretofore, and the number each dis
trict will have to raise by draft will not
vary much from two thousand, two hun
dred and twenty men. The number thus
apportioned to each State east of the
Rocky Mountains, will be as follows:
