The only thing the rebels have to console
them in this day Of defeat and disaster is the
news of the New York riot They hail it with
joy unspeakable, and glodt over the details
with peculiar zest. 1t was one Of their boasts
that they would have such aids at the North
at the time the rebellion commenced, and they
have been sorely disappointed that their pre-
dictions were not sooner fulfilled. They seem
to think, however, that their day Of joyful de-
hverance by the aid of Northern demonstra-
tions in their favor is now near at hand, and
hence the extravaganza of their rejoicing. AS
a specimen of their comments on the news we
give the following from the Richmond Enquir-
er of the 18th:
Riot, murder and conhagration have begun
in New z York. 1t is a worlds wonder that
th1s good 1oOrk did not commence long ago.
and this excellent outbreak may be the opening
scene of inevitable revolution which is to tear
to pieces that most rotten society, and IeaUe
the NortterH half Of the old American Union
desert of bIood-sacked ashes. We bid it good
speed.
But all this may have little or no effect up
on the war, at least for a long time. Let u;
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 noticeable example
The news is cheering to US, indeed, because it
portends the breaking down Of the whole struc-
ture OF Yankee society. Yet the process
may be long, and in the meantime the desper
ate energy Of their war for conquest of the
Conlederacy may grow more furious for sea.
son.
No matter; we can at least now see to the
end of it. This one insurrection may be sup
pressed for the moment, but it will be the pa
rent of other and still worse eonvuIsions. We
have but to perseVere in our determined resist.

independence more sternly than ever, yet lit

It is matter of prime concern that it should
now be settled, once for ali, neither this Gov
ernment is not strong enough to compel militia
ry service in its defence. More than any other
one thing, this will determine our durability as
Republic and our formidableness as ma
lion Once established that not only the prop.
erty, but the personal military service of every
able bodied citizen is at the command of the
national authorities, constitutionally exercis-
ed land both successful invasions and successful
rebellions are at once made impossible for all
time to come. From that time it will be set
down as known fact that the United States
is the most solidly based Government on the
face of the earth.

John Morgan has been interfering greatly
with the appointments of our fellow-citizens
Geo. f. Pugh, to address the Peace Democ-
racy of Ohio. He has been just ahead of Mr.
Pugh at or near WaverIy Portsmouth, Pom
roy, jackson, Macarthur and Logan. Now, as
Mr.. Pugh declines to discuss war matters
considering them of secondary Importance
and quite incidental to something that Mr.. P.
calls personal liberty" it is certainly very
improper in Morgan to go about interfering
with his liberty Of speech. Perhaps if Mr..
Pugh could have addressed Morgan's gang on
the impolcy of arbitrary arrests, and the in
significance of the war, he might have CONVEX
ted them; who knows?
We suppose the difficulty was Morgans
personal liberty was in danger from the per-
sistent proximity of Hobson, at the head of a
large party of "Lincoln's minions." 1t is a
pity the discussion of the merits of the great
charter should be molested in this unseemly

RUNNING AWAY TO ESCAPE THE DRAFT.-
All sorts Histories are in circulation, says the
Boston Traveller Of Tuesday, relative to the
''exodus" Of persons who have been drafted
At one of our popular hotels, six walters were
drafted, all of whom are reported to have sud-
denly disappeared. 1t is said that seventy or
eighty of the men employed at the gas works
we're drafted, and that rot more than one in
ten of these are at work to-day. The steamer
for St. John went out this morning crowded
with passengers. A private letter from Yer
mont says that four hundred of the invalid
corps have been posted on the Canada line to
prevent skedaddling.
As this attempt to escape the draft may be
made in other places, it will be well to remind
the fugitives that unless the conscript answers
the call in one of the three ways required in the
act, he will be considered "a deserter,'' and
as such be liable to be punished should he re
turn even after the expiration of the time fol
which he was drafted.

House, on 22d street, fell. The building was
destroyed last week by the mob. One wal

mostly of children, thus far have been taken
from the ruins. Seven dead, and one past re-
covery. 1t is unknown how many yet remain

The Late 1nvasion--the Rebel. at williams

The Late Invasion-the Rebels at Williams
port
Mr.. Thomas o. Harter, "a Government de-
tective, who was arrested by the rebels and sub
sequently managed to escape, tells the follow
ing story of his observations:
He learned that the rebels had commenced
to make preparations to cross the river as
early as Monday week, the 9Th inst, when they
first began to arrive at Williamspert from
Gettysburg.
At Wiiamsport there were only two fiat
boats or scows at hand, each of which was ca
pable of carrying about forty men aud two
Wagons at a single trip. In this way they
crossed a large number of Wagons, sick aud
wounded soldiers and prisoners. The mode of
transit being very slow, necessity compelled
them to adopt more expeditions mode to es-
cape the threatened attack of Mead's army, !,
of which some appeared to have a great
dread.
TO construct a pontoon bridge was decided
on, and forthwith the contents of a lumber
yard at Wiiamsport was appropriated, and
men were set to work Immediately building
scows-niue of which were finished on Mon
day last, and foated down to Falling Waters
These scows were covered over with boards,
forming a substatial pontoon bridge The
crossing Of Lees main force on ben Monday, 3
! o'clock in the afternoon, aud all got over late
that night. Most of the infantry and lighter

SPECTATORS BIT.-The reason assigned for
the suspension of the Banking firm of Sweeny

in gold since our victories at Vicksburg and
Gettysburg. Their losses are said to be large
We hear of other bankers suffering largely
from the same cause. They bought heavily on
the advent of LEE, and the wish being father to
the thought, they expected to see the rebel
general triumphant. The Philadelphia .. S.

city are losers to tile amount of from $4,000
to $32, 900 each

The INCOME TAx-THE Returns TO BE
HELD STRICTLY PRIvATE.-A circular issued
by Commissioner Lewis directs Assessors and
Collectors to exercise such a control of the
lists as to prevent the qualification of mere
idle curiosity in the examination of them
He also advises as follows:
You will please to observe that the returns
which have been, or shall be made by tax
payers, to officers assessing income tax, are
not to be communicated to others than those
whose business 1t is to collect the tax, except
in the performance of official duty; and all Off
GERS of internal revenue are ins tructed that in
quiries as to the purport of, or amount of such
returns, by persons not interested in them pc
cuniarily, or in some fduciary capacity, are
not to be answered. Considerations relating
to mercantile credit, and to the feelings of in-
dividuals as to the exposure of the state of
their fortune or business, renders a careful OBJ
servance Of these instructions particularly
proper, and it is therefore strictly enjoined,
HORRIBLE CASE OF SUIoIDE,-On Thursday
last, man named George Knepper, residing
in Allen township, In this county, was arrested
and brought to this place by Constable A.
Wolford, on a charge Of having stolen from
his father-in-law, a Mr., Polin, about $3.50 in
money. Anepper was taken before Esquire A.
F. Wilkins, for trial, when it was agreed to
| defer the examination until Friday. While
the Prosecuting attorney aud attorney for de-
! fendant stepped outside Of the door Of the JUS
tice's Office, (which is in the county treasucers
ofice) to fix the amount of the bail bond, the
| prisoner being seated on a bench sn the room
alone, Except the Squire, who was seated
some distance behind the counter, filling out a
suppena) drew from his pocket razor, and
deliberately cut his throat from ear to ear, sew
ering both arteries and windpipe, and the
blade penetrating far between the joints of the
neck. All this was done so noiselessly that
the Justice was net aware of any causalty till
he heard what he supposed to be water run
ming out Of the watering pot, which was really
| the volume of blood Issuing from the severed
ments, and died in less than five minutes. The
excitement was intense for while, and hun
dreds went to see the ghastly corpse Of th'
misguided victim. He was man aged a
bout 30 or 80 years, and had wife and sew
eral children. He evidently premeditated The
taking of his life before leaving home, as h
went to his chest, and took therefrom his ra
zor and put it into his pocket. Such is tn
sad condition to which crime will often brins
its votaries. We have no further comment
to make than to say to the living, beware G
