From Gen. Lees Army.

1t IS now certain that Gen. Lee has recrossed the
Potomac with his army. The Richmond Dispateh
Of the 18th says:
ION Monday evening it was sscertaned that the
enemy we're crossing the Potomac in heavy force,
st number of different fords between Williams
port where the right of our army rested, and Ed.
wards Ferry, near Leesburg. During the after
noon of Monday portion Of their forces which had
crossed at Harper's Ferry, engaged the 18th Vir-
g,na cavalry at Hallstown four miles from the river
In THIS engagement Col. A. W. Hartman, who CON-
mand&d the 18th, was severely wounded. Finding
Themselves opposed by a vastly superior force, the
reIm2nt fell back, and the enemy advanced as far,
and o&upied Charlestown that night
AT he same time heavy column Of the enemy
crossed thu river at Shephardstown, IL miles above
Harp&s Ferry, and another column at Point of
Rocks q miles below. 1t is also reported that a
Edwfds Ferry.
u learning that the enemy were thus attempt
inSto gain his rear, Gen. Lee at once commenced
tf passage of the river at Wiiamsport and Falling
Waters, and throughout the entire night of Monday,
his army was engaged in crossing the Potomac still
somewhat swollen BY the recent rains. Early the
next morning the last Of our troops reached tho
Virginia shore, and moved on in the direction of
Winchester The last heard from our army it was
in line of battle at Bunker Hill, midway between
Winchester and Martinsburg"
The Northern papers confirm the above. A dis
patch from Gen. Meade to the federal General in
Chief at Washington, dated July H. states that his
cavalry occupy Falling Waters, having overtaSen
and captured brigade Of infantry. 1000 strong,
with two guns, two casons, two battle flags, and a
large number of small arms. Gen. Meade also states,
in the same dispatch, Gen: Pettigrew OF the Con-
federate army, was killed this morning IN the attack
on the enemys rear guard His body is in our
hands," If this be true, it is probable that Gen.
Pettigrew was guarding the passage Of the river by
our troops, and being in the rear. was closely en-
gagged with the enemy, and received his death wound,
after which the remnant of his brigade was cap
tured

Death Of Gen. Pett1grew.

We record with profound regret the death Of this
gallant officer The manner of his death is not fully
known. He was weunded at Gettysburg, while in
command of division, but the wound was report
ed as slight; and the general impression seems to
be that he received his death wound at the Potomac
while calamity guarding the rear of our army as it
passed the river.
Gen. j. Johnston Pettigrev was one Of the most
gifted sons Of North. Carolina He had added great
" ~ stady research observation, and travel to his
fine natural endowments. No raan OF his age on
the continent was his superior in varied and useful
learning He has faIien in the prime of manhood
but in cause which was dear to him, and the recol
lection of his services and numerous virtues Will long
be cherished by his eountsymen-
We trust some other pen, better lifted Tor the
t.sk thsn ours, will do justice to bis memory.

Ri0ts af the North

Ane attempt by the federal government to enforce
's orait or CONSUMPTION for 100000 men, has re-
suited in . serious riot in New York City, and in
S'nlisf demonstrations in other Northern towns.
tae riot commenced in New York City on Mon
the 18TH and had not been entirely queed on the
i'tn. Numbers Of policemen were assailed and
oea'en' ana some of them killed-sodiers, who were
ordered out to suppress the riot, had their arms
laken from them and were beaten. in several in
stances to death-the Tribune and Times offices
were assalled and protected only by the most des-
pefate ehorts-negroes were pursued, beaten, and
some OF them hung up until they were dead; and
generally tor two days, the mob had almost undis-
putec control of the City. Gov. Seymour arrived
on Tuesday, and made speech, assuring the people
that the order for the draft would be suspended in
tne City, and exhorting them to dispense. Arch
o'shop Hughes, of the Catholic Church, also ad.
dressed an appeal to the Catholics Of the City to re-
tire to their homes, and dissolve their association
with bad and reckless men," Two hundred persons
are estimated to have been killed, one hundred and
n''y o. whom were negroes. Many women were
conspicuous in the mob, urging the men about to
oe drafted to sight and die at home"
mere were riots also in Hartford, Ct., Newark,
N. d. Brooklyn. aud others places :
NO doubt this uprising Of the people has been
suppressed by the strong arm Of government but
1t will furnish an impressive lesson to the Lincoln
administration. 1t was a movement of national
"'e"-the only persons in the North who are dis
posed to 90 the South justice-against the corrup
tons and tyranny of the Lincoln administration.
Inc great bulk of the rioters were national Demo.
Gratis for Gov: Seymour addressed them as his
Jr'ends" TWAS declaration by he people, first,
against despotism, and in favor Of free government;
secondfy, against the arstocracy at the North,
which has been built up by army contracts at the
expense of the blood and treasure of the people:
and thirdly against the idea that more white m en-
must be sacrificed in an idle and wicked attempt to
free the negro In fine, it was an uprising of the
people Of the North against the extremists who, so
far as that section is concerned are responsible for
the war; Viewed in this light these riots are ia.
vorable to the South. Pot down they may be, but
the fire will shoulder, and will burst forth again at
the first opportunity. The hope for peace is based
mainly on the ground that the conservative, nation.
al men Of the two sections will at last obtain control
Give them thst-let the extremists of the two sec.
tons once be checked by the voice OF moderate con-
serVatlSe, thinking sagaciOus men, and peace-per.
manent peace will be at the door, We deprecate
mob violence wherever it shows ITSELF but in this in
stance good may come forth from evil The only safe
reliance is in the ballotbox which Is quiet but at the
same time more powerful among free people than
the bayonet.
