NORTHERN RIors.-The rebel papers

NORTHERN RIors The rebel papers
evidently are at no loss in tracing the re-
cent northern riots to their source. The
"peace meetings in New York." say they,
-" those safe parallels by which the
anti-war people of the North were work
ing into open resistance to Lincoln's Gov
eminent, have borne their fruit" These pa
pers send their compliments to thernorthern
brethren" and call for more Of the same
kind, "more cutting and sacking Of
houses and hanging and mutilating of
men," " 1t saves the Confederate troops
deal of marching and fighting and lops
of many dreary month of this war. -
That the origin, or at least the possibility,
of these riots, Is traceable TO the continued
clamor of the copperhead papers and ora
tors against every measure looking to the
vigorous prosecution of the war against
the government, the administration; against
the constitutionality and justice of the
consumption law, no sane man can doubt.
That the effect of them, so far as they
have any effect, will be to encourage the
rebels and prolong the war, is as evident
to loyal men as it is TO the rebels.
But some of these "peace at any price !"
1.-THE ANY price " now including northern
nsurrection) journals are now endeavoring
to shift the responsibility of the riots upon
those loyal papers which have always ad-
vocated obedience to the laws, but which
unfortunately not one IN hundred of those
engaged in the riots ever read. While
they are endeavoring to do this, we sab
nit that it is ungenerous in these rebel
papers towards their northern co-operators,
to speak out with such indiscreet plainness,
as TO the cause of the grand movement"
in New York, as does the Richmond Dis
patch, for instance, in ITS issue Of July
18th, upon "The news from New York"
1t says:
We have some intelligence from the
North this morning far more welcome and
much more important than foreign inter

haze 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 ha-
ted minions. This grand movement in
New York is but the precursor of series
of similar outbreaks. Already have riots
followed in Hartford, Conn.,, and Newark,
N. j., and in few days we shall hear
from the West. These demonstrations
NAV, and doubtless will, be put down by
iron hand of the military, but there will
be no enforcement of the draft after qulel
is restored. These people have elected tc
die in the streets rather than submit to the
hateful tyranny of Lincoln, and have
proved themselves in earnest by pouring
out their blood.
They have shown spirit which LIN
coin, too glad to see subslde, will never
again rouse. Already he is covering be-
fore it, and telegraphs to Gov. Seymour
that the draft will be suspended in New
York. When he shall have had time t.
gil the city with troops, his promise may
not be respected; but he cannot fill all, o.
even half dozen of the large cities at tn
North with sufficient force to enforce thu

GOLD HERE AND IN RICHMoND.-W
learn from the Richmond Dispatch of Sat
urday last, that specie has advanced lO(
per cent. during the last two or thre
months, and that the brokers in Richmon
pay for gold eight dollars for one, an
