THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY .... «eee JULY 14, 1863. B7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. | OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. OUR MILITARY BUDGET. THE RESISTANCE TO THE CONSCRIPTION IN NEW YORK CITY. | The telegrcph brings the intelligence that | the political teachirgs of Wood & Oo.—the un- scrupulous demago gues who would peril the fate of a nation tor the advancement of their personal fortunes—have borne their leritimate | fruit and a bloody attempt has been made by an armed mob to resist the draft in New York | city. A squad of soldiers sent tosnppress the | disturbence were disarmed and beaten. and some fifteen policemen, including Superin- | tendent Kennedy, were killed, it is reported. | The telegraph wires eastward were cut by the mob and trains prevented from leaving in the same direction, and other acts of disorder had been committed. } New York city cannot afford to permit mob law to prevail there twenty-four hours. Her business interests alone make it imperatively necessary that any such scheme of anarchy shall promptly be put down, and we are con- fident that before this time the supremacy of law and order has been emphatically reasserted in the great commercial metropolis. Deplorable as the affair is in some aspects of the case, we are not sure but that it will result in goed. It must serve certainly, in New York, | } to unmask the heartless demagogtes who, in the name of peace and good will to the rebels in | arms, incite ignorant men to assemble in mob | and shoot down their own neighbors. | The easy-going citizens of New York, who | treated the mischieveus utterances of Wood & Co. with such philosophic indifference as «amounting to nothing,” as mere “political clap-trap,” find that they do amount to some. | ting; 4nd that municipalas well as national safety demands that the traitorous demagogues shall haye no more rope, unless, indeed, that Tope takes the shape of u halter! So iar irom hindering the enforcementof the draft, we believe further that this affair will serye to bring ont such an expressiog of public sentiment on the right side, as will haye the happiest efiect in forwarding the labors of the enrolling officers throughout the country. At this auspicious juncture, with Lee’s de--| feated army straining every nerve to get out of harm’s way, and with the Southern Conted- eracy cut in twain by the capture of Vicks- burg, with the Legislature of North Carolina | already moying to bring that State back to the | old Union, and with Louisiana, Texas, Arkan- sas, Georgia and Virginia taking steps in the | same direction. and the hitherto tabooed word | “reconstruction” whispered froia length to | breadth of the bubble Contederacy, with all these encouraging facts in view, we have no | idea that the Government's requirement of suf- | ficient men to finish up the good work at once | and foreyer will be deteated by any such at- tempt te resist furnishing the insignificant | quots required of New York city. — TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ae From the Front. See Kilpatrick Occupies Hagerstown—Lee Pro- | bably Across the Potomac, HARRISBURG, July 13.—A gentleman who | left Waynesboro’ on Sunday noon turnishes the followirg information : It is understood that the rebels in falling back to the line of the Conococheague river trom Antietam, encountered the force of Gen. | Mulligan, and after several skirmishes in the vioinity of Cloarepring. retired ta tha oaeturard The position of the rebels is now reduced to aspace of six miles by ninein which to ma- neuver. They have no naturally strong de- tensive points left to them, and it is believed | by persons in official position they cannot pos- | sibly escape capture or annihilation. | Two hundred Union prisoners who refused | to takea parole from the rebels were crossed | over the ferry on Thursday evening. Captain | Norris, who succeeded in making his escape, | brought information that, as far as he observed, | there was no considerable rebel force on the | south bank of the Potomac. | The Grey Reserves and Blue Reserves of Philadelphia went ona reconnoissance in force | on Saturday toward Hagerstown, and suc- | ceeded in opening communication with the army of the Potomac. They captured several | prisoners, and were complimented by the corps | commander for their excellent behavior. A gentleman who has just arrived from the | Antietam valley reports that heavy thunder- | storms yisited that region Saturday and Sun- | day evenings. Kain fell in torrents for hours. and the mountiin streams are again much swollen. Later. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac, July 13.—A messenger trom Governor Curtin arrived this morning, and states that General Couch has formed a junction with our right Wing, which rests northeast of Hagerstown, and that that point is secure against any attack | by Lee. He also reports that Lee has a bridge com- posed of thirteen boats across the center of the river, and continued thus to both shores by a trestle work supporting long timbers. Our siege and heavy guns haye gone to the front, end left where it is believed a geod posi- tion can be obtained commanding the bridge. Our troops are hopeful and energetic, and anxious to again defeat the enemy. Bavriorg, July 13.—A special dispatch to the American says: Early this morning it was discovered that the rebels had fallen back from Funkstown. A reconnoisance from our right wing was thrown out, and it was discovered that they had withdrawn their left wing toward the river, and had formed a line of battle in a semi- circle covering Willimsport. Kilpatrick's cavalry has pushed forward and re-occupied Hagerstown. Our whole right wing was put in metion and swept aroundin the line of the rebel retreat. Weentered Funks- town one hour after the rebels left. They had fortified the bridge over Antietam at Funks- town, but abandoned it without a contest. Strong rifle-pits enfiladed the bridge, and an embrasure for cannon had been knocked in the stone walls above on the hills. The rebel line ot battle covers the Williams. | port pike. Longstreet hoids the center, Ewell the right, and Hill the left. ! The country people were not allowed to pass through the rebel lines, and know little of their strength or movements. It is reported that Lee has entrenched himself: There is 8 growing belief that the mass of the rebel army has crossed the Potomac, and that | ‘we are now pressing back their rear guard. Beyond slight skirmishing there has been no fighting to-day. The rebels have swept everything from the © eountry beyond Hagerstown. Scarcely a ser- viceable horse has been left within ten miles around. The graim crops have been trampled down, and flour, corn, and hay have been car- Yied off. To-morrow will probably determine whether there is to be another battle in Mary- dand. The people of Hagerstown received the ‘Union troops with great jey, and the display of flags was large. Numbers of refugees followed the army into Hagerstown. ‘Very heavy rains have fallen. RIOT IN NEW YORK. New York, July 13—11 a. m—A large mob collected at the conscripting office on Third avenue to prevent the draft being carried on, At this hour they h&ve driven away the con- soripting officials, s¢t the building on fire, and the whole block is now ia aes The mo- | cbarge for ca’ will not allow the fire bells to be rung nor the firemen to act. They have destroyed all the telegraph wires in the vicinity, and are bent on mischief. Regulars trom Governor's Island have been senttothe scene. - Later—2 O'clock. The riot is said to have assumed vast propor- tions. It is stated that the arsenal on Fifty- fourth street has been taken by the mob, who have armed some tour hundred of their num- | ber. The police have been handled terribly severe. It is reported that Superintendent Kennedy aud some fifteen police have been killed, and many wounded, A squad of some thirty soldiers were ordered to fire on the mob. They had ‘their guns taken away, and were terribly beaten and dispersed. The noon train for Boston was nearly de- molished, the passengers driven ont, and pre- vented from leaving. The telegraph lines are all cntin many pleces, destroying communication with the eastward. The Draft in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—The draft in the Third Congressional district, which was to have commenced this morning, has been post- poned on eccount of dissatisfaction of the en- rolling officers, who complain of injustice to the district in the quota. They represented the facts to Washington, and were ordered to sus- pend the dratt for the present. A Pirate near Portland. Boston, July 13.—An armed steamer ap. peared off Portland harbor yesterday.

The Associated Press, up to this hour, has not furnished one word to-day in relation to affairs there, but the following dispatches have reached here by the Independent Telegraph line : New York, July 13, 11p.m.—The post office is closed, and bells are ringing constantly for fires burningin different parts of the city. The windows of the office of the Evening Post are closed. The U. S. Sub-Treasury is garrisoned by | soldiers. The office of the Associated Press is closed, and all lights im the telegraph offices are ex- tinguished. . ‘ The Fifth Avenue Hotel is threatened with destrugtion by the mob. A young reporter, named Lawson, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, was severely handled and maltreated by a crowd of ragged boys and Trishmen. It is understood that most of the damage was done in Lexington avenue. | [s ND DISPATCH.| | New York, July 14—i2.30 a,m.—The mob | has been sensibly diminished by the heavy rains that is now falling. Two handsome brown-stone-front buildings in Lexington ayenfe have been destroyed. The Allerton Hotel is also destroyed by fire. The negro boarding-houses on Roosevelt street. and several houses occupied by negroes on Cherry sireet, haye been destroyed. These and several other buildings of lesser note were all burned by the mob. It is reported that the up-town residence of Horace Greeley has been fired and destroyed, Cannon have been brought from the Brooklyn | Navy Yard, and placed in position to protect the Custom Houge, the Sub-Tzeasury, and Post Office. i Cannon firing was heard inthe direction of the locality of the first ontoreak, about 11 o'clock. No particulars respecting it yet re- ceived. The lower part ot the Tribune office was torn outby the mob. A strong force is now guard- ing it. They are said to have six boxes of Sharpe's rifles and ammunition to defend it. Fire beils have now ceased ringing, and the lower part of the city is comparatively quiet. The bulk of the mob appeurs to be up in the | vicinity of Forty-third street. Several negroes, in various parts of the city, have been severely beaten. It 1s believed that the rioters willbe dispersed before daylight. ——- LATER. {ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH} ie ES Particulars of the Doings of the Mob in New York City. aaa DONE THAN REPORTED, Se eS THE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FULLY DEFENDED. ee VARIOUB REGIMENTS OF NEW YORK STATE MILITIA CALLED OUT AND ON DUTY. oes SUPERINTENDENT KENNEDY NOT KILLED AS REPORTED.

They ‘were concealed in caves, as well as in all sorts of buildings. The siege and sea coast gans found exceed sixty, and the whole capthred artillery is above two hundred pieces. The stores of rebel ammunition also prove to be surprisingly heavy. The stock of army clothing is oilicially in- yoiced at five millions dolls Of sugar, molasses, and salt, there is a large quantity. Sixty thousand pounds of 3, confederate prices. bacon were found in one place. THE NEW YORK RIOTS, ———___ AN ORGANIZED PLOT! palipanl E> <ihahins All the evidence goes to show that the plot to resist the draft in New York city had been fully organized previously. Mr. Moses Sweet- ser, who came as passenger from Boston, passing through New York city by the last train Saturday evening, says thata copperhead, who got into the cars on his wayto New Brunswick, N. J., appeared much excited; told Mr. Sweetser he was a peace man, aud that the citizens of New York would not submit to the conscription or draft; that he left the city fear- ing agreat mob Saturday night, and wished to get out of the excitement: said fhey were or- ganized thoroughly, and if the authorities at- tempted to enforce the draft, they would call out thirty thousand men, and would lay the city in ashes! This man was as boastful as cow- ardly in his style of talk; said he had been in public office for the past eleven years, and the time had now come to stop the war, the draft, &c., and they were determined to do it. It is stated on the street to-day that Goyern- ment will leave the suppression of the riot to | the State and city authorities, as a matter of justice to them, contenting itselt with protect- ing its own property there. There seems to be no doubt that Gov. Sey- mour and Mayor Opdyke are exerting them- selyes actively to put down the revolt, and trom the tenor of the later dispatches it would seem that the rioters were moving in scattering bodies, contenting themselves with acts of petty mischief rather than attempting anything on a large scale. It is reported that the gang were atlast accounts perpetrating such acts of in- sensate destruction as burning bridges on the Harlem railroad, (setting fire to an ice house even.) showing that the more intelligent movers had slunk away from the gang, leaving their ignorant, deluded followers to their fate. That rowdy quarter of New York known as the Twenty-second Ward seems to haye been the headquarters of the rioters, and tohave tur- nished a large quota of the mob material. Despatches received in this city to-day state that the New York telegraphic oflices were last night removed to Jersey city, as a precau- tionary measure. Many of the reporis from New York are already ascertained to be of « sensation charac- ter. The Times, Post,and Tribune offices were not gutted, as reported. A demonstration against the latter was promptly repulsed by a tew of the employees ot the oflice, who were armed } The number reported killed has been greatly exaggerated, it has been ascertained. FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC. The state of the water at Georgetown to-day indicates thatthe storm did not prevail toa great extent up river, as it has risen only to a modergte height. Itso, Lee will not suffer the inconvenience threatened him supposing the floods of rain which prevailed here visited the region of the upper Potomac. ' Reports are contradictory here to-day in re- ference to Lee’s position, whether en the Mary- land or Virginia side. Those who ought to be well posted believe that his entire army is now on the Virginia side of the river, while authorities of equal weight hold that he has sent nothing across more than his sick and wounded and such cumbrous ar- ticles as were in his way. It is believed that he is much too cautious to divide his army in the face of the enemy, unless the ford has been “in so favorable & condition that he could cross his entire army within a brief space of time.
