THE NEWS PRoaf NEW roRK.
We have some intelligence from the North
this morning, fir more welcome and much
more important than foreiga Intervention.
The peace meetings IN New York, 80 bitterly

North we're working into open reslstance to
L}nco|n'e Government-haye borne their
fruit. The white flag has been suddenly low

New York over streets net with the gore OF

series Of similar outbreaks. Already have
riots followed in Hartford, Conn, md New
ark, n. j., and in q teW days We shall hear-
from the West. These demonstrations may
md doubtless will, be put down hy the Iron

These people have elected to die in tie streets
rather than submit to the hateful tyranny OF
1Ancolp, and have proved themselves in ear

clude that the days US we'll as the soldiers Of
the Union army are numbered. There will
fet sed on all hands that the present Yankee
force under arms can never begin to subd1e
the Confederacy. Let us have more Of these
ontronrings-a few more great cities on the
Mon1ner's bench-some. more cutting and
sackirg Of houses, and hanging and matilat-

REBEL Jor OVER THE NEW YORK R1o7s-BE-
- GINNING OF CHAOS. So
lFrom the Richmond Enquirer, July18.1
Riot, murder md confng1ation hare begun
in New York. It is q worlds wonder that
this good WCtk did not commerce long ago ;
and this excellent outbreak may be the open
iug ecere uf the inevitable revolution which
is to take to pieces tAat most rotten society,
ant leave the Northern half Of tie old Ameri-
can Union desert Of b1ool'soaked ashes.
We bid it good fpeed.
But Ill this may have little Or no effect on
the war, at least for long time. Let us not
deceive ourselves; for internal revolution and
even utter ruin In nation by no means
weakens it for foreign aggression, of which
revolutionary France is u notable example,
The news is cheering 10 Us, indeed, because 1t
po1teuds the breaking down Of the whole
cess may be long, and In the meantime the
desperate energy Of their war for conquest Of
The Confedetacy may grow more furious for q
season.
: No matter; re can at least now see to the
end ot it. 7his oEe thsnrrcctfon may be sup
pressed for the moment, but 1t will be the pa
lent Of other and still woFse conYulsio15.
We have but to perscyere" In our determined
resistance, grid ourselves to the task Of win
ming cur Independence more sternly than
ever, yet little while, and we shall see the
eiant, but hollow bulk Of the Yankee nation
bursting Into fragments and rushing down
Into pefdiiion III flames and blood. Amen.

Inc 1Ict tHAt NJ ttlegEaAHs Lave peeA re-

mournfu1 predictions Of the ''iinpenlipg

They were quite sure. that tue Government
had news Of terrible import, which it refused

papers partial answer to these ieremfads,

thisks the city Is in imrniuent peril. and to
save 1t the Yankees must be driven Oft Norris

lowing extracts:
We mean not either to censurc our mill

then, nc say to them that our people are fully
up to the e1jgercy of the times, and stand
ready, at any and every hazard and cost, to

The fall Of Charleston involves conse

With her capture the whu1e State would soon
lie at the mercy Of the foe, and the great cause

let us make every possible human effort
to wrest the adjacent Islands from the

the yandals at bay. Falling In thls, and even
should Sumter became uutcnable, then Let us
