Rebel Views of the Riots.

TIE only CLEAN of hope for the rebels nee
July came in. has come from the anti draft riots,
and it is no wonder they rejoice at them. The
Richmond Dispatch says
ave have some intelligence from the North
this morning, far more t0eicome, and much more
imporiant than foreign Intervention. The peace
meetings in .NelO York, SO bitterly ridicued by
IKE minimizing safe parallels by which the
adti-war people Of the North were working into
open resistance to the Lincolp Government
haze borne their fruit The white flag has been
denly lowered, and the red battle-tlag now
wares in New York over streets wet with the
gore of Lincoln's hated minons. This grand
Increment 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 a few days we shall hear from the West.
Let US have few more Of these outpourings-
a few more great cities on the mournerS' bench
some more cutting and sackng Of houses and
han ging Of men. 1t saves the confederate troops
deal of marching and fighting and lops off many

burning has been heretofore at the South. Our

Well,-the cor rebels needed something t.

EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN Il arrived here

saw nothing at all interesting or pleasing. Per-

UNFULFILLED PREDICrIoN.-T London Times
of the 18th inst INDUCES itself in the following
view of the situation in this country:
"From the Federal camp before VickSburg
there was still the same dreary monotonous and
almost Responding bulletin. Gen. Grant had an
impossible task before him, ,cih an dduancing foe
and increasing difficulties behind. Gen. Banks
had not eUen this much TO say for himself at the
last date he had announced to his army that they
must raise thousand volunteers for one more as
sault, and, if they could not take the fort, they
must retreat fast possible, if they could re-
treat at all. This was, of course, to give up the
command Of the great river to the Conederates /;
1t was to expose General Grant to similar re-
verse, to endanger the possession of New Orleans
and all Louisiana, and compromise the safety of
he Federal forces in that quarter. As vet there
were only rumorS as to the results at Port Hud-
son and VckSburg; but one cannot help feeling
that, 10 the state of things in the South, there

The following pleasing anticipation of the
lief from the tolls and dangers OF a soldier
fe, and a return to the delightful endearments
I'D wei remembered scenes of home, was writ
N by Captain A. P. S aytOn, of the 18th Yer
ont Regiment;
It's cheering sight, yon pickering light,
For the evenings chill and dreary,
And it brings the glow Of hearth know,
With a welcome rest for the weary.
In a little while, with sunny smile
My wife will haste to greet me,
Ard our baby boy, with shout of JOY,
VIII stretch out his arms to meet ne
Others may stop at the first beer shop,
While their families beg or borrow,
But the cup Of tea that's awaiting me,
Will bring neither shame nor sorrow.
Around my knee, with joyous glee,
Will be happy children clinging,
And shall hear their voices dear
hymn at evening singing.
Then my wife and will thankfully
Lead out our life together,
And have fear though storms be near
Hard times or wintry weather.
Lifes wear and tear we will bravely bear,
Sustained in JOY sorrow
We will face as we may he ills Of to-day,
And trust in God for the morrow.
And when at last life's lsbors are past,
And our bodies in dust are lying,
Our souls shall rest in the home Of the blest
Where there will be no more sorrow or crying.

NUMBER 221.

Article XVI provides that any State
may secede with the consent of the Leg
islatures of all the States of the section
to which the State proposing to secede
belongs. This provision is palpably in
the interest of the rebels, allowing, as it
would, the secession of the whole South
IN body but refusing the privilege to a
single State to secede from its section.

Don't Fight Right.

a correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, Captain in the Army OF
the Potomac, has theory to account
for our want of success iii the recent
battles, which is worthy of attention.
He admits that our men do not fight as
as we'll as the rebels, and says:
"Sill, in spite of all l have said, it is
by no means the truth that our men are
a parcel of towards and poltroons.
They are as brave as the average of peo-
pIe-quite as brave as our enemies are.
But We don't fight in such common
sense way as they do. Shall tell you
no how one OF our lines of battle engages2
They 90 in in fine style, steadily, in
good line and without any finching, halt
at what is held TO be desirable point,
and at the command commence hiring,
standing, kneeling or lying down, as
may be ordered.
Then, as in all their previous train
ing, they have been taught to load and
fire as rapidly as possible, three or four
times minute; they go into the busi-
ness with all fury, every man vying with
his neighbor as to the number Of car
trldges he can ram into his piece and spit
out OF it. The smoke rises in a minute or
two so you can see nothing where to aim.
The noise is deafening and confusing to
the last degree. The impression gets
AROUND nuat ct ttffe4eRffdle~ger- tffe neareu ana
won't 60 off, and the cartridges begin to
give out. The men have become tired
with their furious exertions and the ex-
citement and din of their own firing,
and without knowing anything about the
effect produced upon the enemy, very
likely having scarcely had one glimpse
of the enemy at all, begin to think they
have fought about enough and it is near
ly time to retire Meanwhile the enc
my, lying quietly hur dred or two yards
in front, crouching on the ground or be-
hind trees, answer our fire very leisure
ly, as they get chance for good aim,
about one shot to our three hundred, hit |
ting about as many as we do, and wait
ing for the wild tornado ofammunition to |
pass over their heads, and when our burst
of fighting is pretty much over they have
only commenced.
"They probably rise and advance up
on us with one of their unearthly yells
as they see our fire slackens. Our boys,
finding that the enemy has survived
such an avalanche of fire as we have
rolled in upon him, conclude he must be
invincible, and being pretty much out of
ammunition, retire Now, if l had
charge of regiment or brigade, I'd put
every man in the guard house who could
be proved to have fired more than twen-
ty rounds in any one battle; l wouldn't
let them carry more than their cartridge
box full (forty rounds), and have them
understand that that was meant to last
them pretty much through campaign,
and in every possible way would endeav-
or to Danish the Chinese style of fighting,
with hie nosn and orrrnka. and initiate
rather the backwoods style of our oppo-
nentS.
