WEDNESDAY, JULY Is. 1853.


The absorbing topic Of interest yester-
day. was the fearful magnitude reached by
The New York Copperhead mob in resist,
nncc to the draft It had ragged q second
day. with proportions hourly increasing.
It is the most important crisis In the rebel
lion, the crucial test of the power Of the
Gove1nment in the loyal States. There
can be hut one opinion as to how it viii
result and the Government will come
forth ssthe stronger for ; the trial.
+Tfcason will be put down, the
draft sustained, the rebellion crushed,
Minnesota is still suffering from the
nightmare Of Indian atrocities, and Wis
Eonsin has got up horror of her own Of
The 'eame Kind. Doubtless much cxaggo-
ration is at work upon the teeming ao-
counts, but enough is certain to prorc that
The day Of the Indians along the borders
Of our civilization is likely to be short
and stormy one.
The news Of last evening from the
Theatre Of WAT On the Upper Potanac full
u sustains the conclusions we hare before
lrawn from the lutcr dispatches from that
quarter. Lee has steadily and uninter-
ruptedly been pouring his arm over the
Potomac, and has succeeded IN saving his
trains and his wounded. he is now safely
iuVirginia, and ourforces are occupying his
recently deserted works ut Williamspon.
This finishes the chapter OF Lees raid north
ward. The lesson has been severe enough
to discourage any desire on his part to re-
peat it. Gen. Meade and The Army Of the
Potomac have nobly met the demands Of
the crisis which made it the first requisite
that loyal soil should be freed from the
tread of hostile force. It will be sore
disappointment to cur troops that their
enemy has eluded the fate his daring, in
yitcd capture aud humiliation.
The raid Of John Morgan in Indiana
has proved an eye-opencr to the most pnr-
blind Of the people Of that State, who
hepceforth will sec the rebels as they ere.
3ndinna LAS done nobly in the crisis, and
Inns brought over SIXTY THOUSAND men
into the ranks to catch Morgan. At latest
:advices he was moving due east across the
3ndiana line into Ohio, apparently with
The design Of striking across the Ohio

Mr. Kuykendall, an organization has been ef-
fected that is Going the work right.
Tomorrow will see great squ1d Of the

A grand Union demonstration Is to take
place at Duquoin on Friday Of the present
week. This place is noted for having in its
vicinity seTcral bot mouthed Copperheads.
They will undoubtedly attend the barbacues.
Gen. Logan is. announced as one Of the
speakers, and will be there if possible. Gems.
oslesby, Hnynie, and other orators, WILL also
be on hand.
Preparations are being made for one Of the
nost glorious occasions occurring since the
wes. Secession and treason will be rebukea.

TIE great riot in New York city, and
The position Of Governor Seymour towards
it, call tor the gravest and most deliberate
consideration Of every patriot of every
man Wto Inns, or hopes to have, home
and property to defend, and safety for
himself and those whose rights are dear
to him rs life itself. Under the Copper
head teaching Of the World and Jacobin
Journals Of that ilk, the mob in New York

lions. No man can tell where its burn
1ngs, devastation and murders Will
end. Instead Of ausing all his law

makes stump speech, stating TINT he has

coupled with tragedy so far reachingand
terrible. To yield to the mob is to confess
we have no government. Are the. people
Of New York, Of Chicago, Of the loyal and
hid.erto prosperous States, prepared for
1hats As between the most grinding des-
potism and mob rule, it will not take our
people many months to choose. Ithas been
50 in every age, and ours will be no ex~
pep.ion TO the general rule. We therefore
besecch loyal, patriotic men in all classes
and conditions Of society toreaect On these
things calmly;t to look hismomentous sub
jet square in the face, and make up their
minds to range themselves with unt1inch-
ing tirmness On the side Of Law and order.
In that alone is safety for yourself, your
property and your homes. That is your
Hacred duty both to God and man. Will

In this fearful emergency it is to be
hoped that President Lincoln will not wa

peril all the sacred memories Of the nation,
and it's achievements in the past and all
its 3lores in the future. The people will
Hustain Mr.. Lincoln if he will only stand
firm and lead them on to victory and
peace. 4 solemn lesson, We trust, will be
learned from this New York mob. Let
no drafting commence in any Of our large
cities till the people aud the military are
fully prepared to ENFORCE it. To pursue
any other course is simply suicidal, imper-
