not let them impress on the public mind

We do not AK OF recognize as possible

at Ike same thing that Jefferson Davis

jefferson Davis and his partisans do not
want the war 70 stop soon, even by the re-
cognition Of thcir Confcderacy. We know
froln men devoted to the southern cause
active in their baitlc-fieids and influential
among the Southern people, that, were

were the Democratic principles to be ac-
knowlcdged by the North that the war
ought not to be made on States-werc the
Southern people to feel sure that no more

We fully believe now, what we have
long suspected, that it is Jefferson Davis
policy to protract the war, despite Of inde
scribable suiierings of the Southern people
in order to consolidate his new rulc-to cc

The Puritan abolition game as revealed
by Seward ip his cups and hiccoughs a

To avoid misunderstanding, it may be
proper to say that this proclamation, so far
as it relates to State governments, has no
reference to States wherein loyal State

which the national authority over every

The Mob in New York still Raging

New YORK. July 15.-Mob reign
not vet ceased, although to-day will
probably witness its end. There is
no doubt that a vastly larger num-
Der was engaged in it yesterday than
Monday.
At noon yesterday the rioters turn
eli out about 5000 strong and attack
ed the Union Steam Works, corner
22i street and I'd avenue. At two
o clock 800 police arrived: the rioters
were in possession Of the building,
and finding escape impossible, they
made an assault on the police who
shot 4 of the mob; about 20 remain
ed in the building. The rioters be-
came desperate; they again assaulted
the police, who killed II Of the ruff
fans. Four were killed, and num-
Der injured by jumping from the ID
story windows.
As the dead were borne from the
scene. men, women and children ran
bowling through the streets in a
most frantic manner. The rioters
were then dispersed.
Quite number of troops are arri-
wing, and some batteries of artillery
have reached the city. 1t is the gen
eral impression that at this hour o.
noon Wednesday, the worst is over:
the mob hearing of the arrival OF
troops from the south.
4 great crowd is around the pro
duce exchange, threatening the de-
strnction of that fine building.

Rebel Prisoners.

One day last week some nine pris
oners were brought in and lodged IN
the county Jail, charged with various
offences. One, we believe, was de-
serter, some three or four were re-
cruits for the rebel army, and others
charged with aiding and abettlng
them. Their names are as follows:
Jonathan Huddleson, Geo. Holmes,
Adam Wamsley, Gilbert Rodgers,
James Wallace, John Weaver, Jo-
seph Wistmau, John Jones and Ohio
Darr.
1t seems that an organization has
been in existence for some time, tor

bel service, and every effort to find

his. hand, which he did very success
fully by Disgusting himself as a con-
federate soldier, and going to the res

himself as a rebel soldier engaged in
