THE LATEST FROM NEW YORK.
Terrible Fight on 29th street last
night!
Eleven Rioters Shot Down aud
Numbers Captured!

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE placard posted
about the streets last night, requesting those
persons whom the newspapers call rioters to
congregate this afternoon at Archbishop
Hughes residence, was an unmitigated and
senseless hoax, got up by the sympathizers of
the rioters.
General Fitzpatrick arrived here last evening"
and force of cavalry is to be Immediately
organized for mounted patrol.
From military movements this morning
quietly made, there will be but little opporlu-
nifty for the rioters to carry on their infamous
designs to-day, any attempt at which will meet
with most terrible check.
The 152d New York regiment arrived at
midnight.
The probably last fight of consequence be-
tween the military and the lioters took place
last night near Twenty ninth street, where a
military force had been sent to drive away the
scoundrels who were plundering houses there.
The mob concentrated strongly, and the mill
tary withdrew.
Nearly every house for three or four blocks
on both sides of the street were filled with the
mob, who fired bullets, stones, and other dead
ly missiles upon the soldiers.
The Times report states that fifteen members
of the fifth company of the 9TH Regiment are re-
ported killed by stones and brickbats.
Seven hundred Regulars were sent up as a
reinforcement, when a terrible battle took
place. Eleven rioters were killed and wounded,
and thirty fl We taken prisoners.
Two of the mob were run through with BAY
nets, very handsomely.
Fiftt en- more rioters were captured last nj ght
on the west side OF the town, and the police
are constantly bringing them in.
Hemp is in demand!

The Jeff. Davis Mission.

The Richmond Dispatch OF the 18th inst. con-
tains the instructions of JEFF Davis to Stephens
upon his proposed mission to Washington. The
following extract shows their purport:
My recent interviews with you have put you
so fully in possession OF my views that it is
structions, even were 1, at this moment, well
enough to attempt it. My whole purpose is in
one word, to place this war on the footing of
such as are waged by civilized people in
modern times, and to diyest it Of the savage
character which has been impressed on it by
our enemies, in spite of all our efforts and pro-
tests War Is full enough OF unavoidable hor-
TO demand, Of any Christian rulers who NAV
be unhappily engaged in carrying it on, to seek
to restrict its calamities and to diyest il of all
unnecessary seventies.
You will endeavor to establish the cartel for
the exchange OF prisoners on such basis as to
avoid the constant difficulties and complaints
which arise, and to prevent, tor the future,
mics in evading the delivery of the prisoners
who fall into their hands, in retarding il by
sending them on circuitous routes, and by de.
tanning them, sometimes for months, in camps
non. combatants,
Your attention is also called to the unheard
OF conduct OF the Federal officers in driving
from their homes entire communities of women
and children. as well as Of men, whom thew
find in districts occupied by their troops, for
no other reason than because the unfortunate
faithful to the allegiance due to their States
and refuse to take the oath of fidelity to their
enemies.
The putting to death Of unarmed prisoners
has been ground of just complaint in more
than one instance, and the recent executions of
officers Of our army in Kentucky, for the sole
cause that they were engaged in recruiting
service in State which is claimed as still one
OF the United States, but 10 also claimed by us
SIS one OF the Confederate States, must be re-
pressed by retaliation II not Internationally
abandoned, because 1t would justify the like
eracy, and the practice is barbarous; uselessly
cruel, and can only lead to the slaughter Of
prisoners on both sides-a result too horrible to
contemplate without making every effort to
avoid il.

A MISCHIEVOUS FALSEHOOD En-
planned.

BY way of relieving Governor Seymour, of
New York, from the immense weight Of public
odium which his course in pandering to the mob
no less than his Identification with those who
have been for more than a year past striving to
bring about the exact state OF things in that
city which have so recently occurred in New
York has brought upon him, the World news
paper yesterday made the following statement:
"GovERNoR SEYMOUR AND THE RIOT
should be distinctly known that Go vernon Sey-
mour left this city late Friday last, after
passing week in sedulous attention to the de-
enses of the harbor, without having received
any intmation from the federal authorities of
heir intention to attempt the execution here of
the draft. The small discourtesy of tn is con-
duct disappears from sight in the contempla-
ton o. the frightful scenes which might have
been spared our city and our country had the
officials at Washington done their manifest
duty and communicated to the executive of
New York their intention of commencing a
CONSUMPTION INVOLVING the happiness and the
lives OF her citizens This miserable attempt
to achieve surreptiuous triumph, at once
civil rights, will fix upon those who Were
guilty OF it a fearful responsibility in the flu
ure.'
We have to say that this is entirely without
foundation in truth, knowing as we do, posi-
lively, that early in this month Gov. Seymour
was duly notified, by letter from the Provost
Marshal General in this city, that orders had
been sent to New York city for the prompt
commencement of the draft, with a list of the
several districts in which it was to be made,
the number Of men required from each, &c.
He was further notified that "the records
from which calculations, as well as the caIcu-
lations themselves, in determining the quota
are on file in this office. They are impartial,
and claimed to be entirely correct; but if an err
ror should be discovered or pointed out in them
it will be duly corrected in the next subsequent
draft. beg that you will do all in your power
to enable the officers acting under me to COM
plete the draft promptly, effectually, fairly an
successfully"
We have further TO add, that on no occasion
when 8 draft in New York has been necessary,
has the Governor of that State failed to be
notified of the fact through similar official
letter from this point; the said notification
being in all cases sent on the day on which
the particular draft was ordered

SECOND EDITION,
4 O'CLOCK p. M.
REPORTED CAPTURE OF CHARL rs.
TON.

AS we go to press to-day Pennsylvania av-
enue is wild with rumor alleging the reception
by the Government this forenoon of information
of the fall of Charleston before our land and
naval forces under General Gilmore and Rear
Admiral Dahlgren.
We regret to be compelled to discredit this
report. A dispatch has reached here from the
West stating that rebel prisoners taken say
that Charleston has fallen.
These prisoners doubtless allude to the fall
of the portion of the defences of Morris Island,
an account of the capture of which has already
been published in the Star. We feel very sure
that even if Charleston is by this time in our
han DIS, it is impossible that information of the
fact could reach Washington by this time. Our
brave Army and Navy are doubtless to have a
severe battle with the rebels in that quarter
before they take Charleston.

FATAL ACCIDENT. Yesterday afternoon
about three O'Clock as Government train was
backing past the Capitol towards MARYLAND
avenue the two foremost cars ran off the track
and careened over on their sides. A brakes
man, named John Winthrow, seeing the cars
running off jumped from them alighting on his
hands and knees, and before he could get out of
the way he was caught under one of the cars
and mashed in horrible manner and killed
almost instantly. The wrecked cars were
righted with considerable difficulty delaying
the running of the street cars for some time
The body of the deceased whose family, con-
sisting of wife and six children, reside in
Philadelphia, was taken to Alexandria, from
whence it will be sent to Philadelphia. He
was about 35 years of age, and WIS much es-
teemed by his associates on the road. Officer
Barkely was on the spot and rendered a IL the
assistance in his power.

Latest from Gen. Lees Army-The Ad.
vance at Front ROYAL,

Latest nom Oens Lees Army-Ihe Ad.
vance at Front Royal.
Reliable adyices state that the advance of
Lees army was at Front Royal this morning
The whole army was moving as rapidly as
possible towards Richmond, without order or
arrangement. baggage trains, ammunition
trains, cavalry, infantry and artillery being
inex'ricabIy mixed up together. The rebels
depend on their superior CELEBRITY of movement,
and do not care to march in order of battle
A rebel officer captured yesterday AFTERNOON
says that it is not Lees intention to fight this
side of Richmond if he can avoid it Chronicle.
We doubt if any portion Of Lees army pro-
per has reached Front Royal. 1t would be
physical impossibility for it to have reached
there within the time since Lee crossed the
Potomac; and the terrible rains have certainly
tended to delay its progress.
As in the advance of Lee into Maryland, so
in his retreat, he is forced to move on the arc
of the circle, while our army, moving on the
chord of the same, has the power to intercept
him
