Certain parts of the city have been visited | where Irish laborers are employed, who have | been induced to leave theirlabor. Many joined | the mob. i Several detachments of soldiers are reported | to have fired into the mob, but very foolishly | used blank cariridges, which only exasperated | ihe rioters. The most atrocious robberies have been com- mitted in the streets by ruffians, who seize any respectable looking men, rob them of watches, money, etc., and then finish by beating the victims, Many such things occurred this morn- ing. ‘The mob attacked Mayor Opdyke’s house, but the police and citizens rallied, and atter a fierce battle drove them off. Postmaster Wakeman’s house was burned ast night. New York, July 14, 20’clock.—It is under- stood that Mayor Opdyke has delegated all necessary power to act in the city to Governor Seymour, and the latter will soon issue a suit- able proclamation, calling upon the rioters to desist from their illegal acts and leaye to the State authorities such proceedings as may be deemed proper to test the legality of the Con- | seription law. | Governor Seymour addressed an excited crowd from the City Hall steps at noon, urging | them to disperse and use all endeayors to repress illegal acts. i A negro fee killed about eleyen o'clock in Leroy stree! New York, July 14—3 o’clock._The Post says bodies of rioters to-day visited large man- ufacturing establishments, forcing the laborers to join them. ‘ Gangs also took laborers from the wharves forbidding the loading of ships, and threatening destruction to the latter. Up to this hour several houses haye been sacked, including Mayor Opdyke’s. Confiagrations are occurring momentarily, and the mob, which seems to be divided into separate crowds, are bent on plunder, pillage, and robbery of persons. id The merchants haye held a meeting, and | about two hundred have jnst marched up | | anchored off Wall street | a company of infantry made their appearance, | which fires twelve balls ata discharge. | to protect it if need be from the mob.

A battalion oi the Seventh regiment reserve is already on duty. The police have done nobly to-day. The Post says a large crowd was harangued in front of the Tribune office at noon. Violent demonstrations were mide, when fortunately and the crowd dispersed.

He implored the crowd to respect property and persons, and the State would see all would be satisfactory. All communication, telegraphically, with the East and West has been suspended, the mob having torn down the wires in all directions as far as Williamsbridge, driving the telegraph- ers off, and threatening their lives. Operators on the Eastern lines were located, all last night und up to nine o’clock this morning, ma car two miles from Harlem on the track, when the mob discovered them and droye them off. Major Opdyke has prohibited the sale of flre- arms, and all such storcs are closed. The day,so far has been a_ horrible one.

Seymour has is- | sued a proclamation stating that riotous de- monstrations and organizations in opposition tothe conscription haye swelled to vast pro- portions. He says he knows many would fot have gone to such extremes unless apprehen- sive of injustice, but he reminds them that the only opposition which can be allowed is an ap- peal to the courts, and the right to such appeal will be maintained, while the decisien of the courts must be respected. Riotous proceed- ings must and shall be pu: dowh. The laws of the State must be enforced, peace and order Mmuintained, and lives and property protected, He then calls on all the rioters to retire, de- claring he will use all necessery power to re- store order. Hundreds of wild reports and rumors are fiying about the city, many of which are ex- aggerations.

THE NEW YORK RIOTS, Additional Particulars. New York, July 11.—Intelligence up toa late hour last night reports “all quiet” ut the Arsenal. There are only about sixty-five men in charge, but they consider themselves per- tfectly able to protect the buiiding. The bal- ance of the troops originally ordered there haye been placed on duty elsewhere. About ten o’clock last night a detachment of four hundred regulars arrived in this city from | Fort Trumbull, it is said. and at once reported | tor duty to Major Gen. Sandford. * Ateight o'clock a meeting of ex-oflicers of the militia was held at the 7th RegimentArmo- ry in compliance with a call from Gen Sand- ford. About 150 were present, who offered their services, In the early part of the eve were coming down Broadw posite Prince street, they wi by Inspector Carpenter with 200 men, aad rout- ed. The onslaught of the police was unexpect- ed, and met with no resistance. Numerous damaging blows were inflicted and arrests made. A banner inscribed «No Dratt,” and an American flag, were the trophies of this brief but brilliant engagement. During the entire evening, and farinto the night, the mob were engaged in burning negro houses inthe Fourth Ward. The police fol- lowed up the riotors with great rapidity, and dispersed them whenever the two parties came | into contact. The firemen were always promptly on hand, and succeeded in arresting the spread of the flames beforesmuch damage was done. It was impossible to follow up the | rioters so closely as to prevent these acs of in- cendiarism. Several negroes were severely injured by the mob. About 94 p.m. another large detachment | from the up-towh mob came duwn Broadway with the intention of sacking the Tribune office, in which purpose they had been foiled an hour er two previous. Inspector Carpenter, with a force of about six hundred men was notified Of | their approz ch, by telegraph, and lay in wait | | | ing, as the mob » 40a point op- ere attacked in front for them in iront ¢f the Uity Hall. As they came yelling down Broadway, he rushed out opposite the City Hall and attacked them in fiank. | This sudden assault produced the utmost consternation among the rioters. They broke and ran, pursued by the police, and smitten hip and thigh by their stout locusts. Abouta | dozen Tioters were severely bruised about the head. A few of the policemen received slight | injuries. The victory was complete. Superintendent Kennedy is in a fair way for | recovery. A crowd of women called at some of the station houses and begged that wounded police- men who had been brought to their dwellings might be removed, as they feared their homes might be sacked and burned. Amongst the rioters were a large number of known thieves, who instigated the sacking and burning of elegant private dwellings, for the purpose of plunder. A demons ion was made to sack the Fifth Avenue Hotel; but the occupants appeared at the windows, waving handkerchiets and cheering, and thus saved their property, the crowd passing the hotel with cheers. Major Genera! Sandford was he was ducked and then let go. . FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. nal Prisoners Cap- tured—The Rebel General Pettigrew Killed.

AES, TWO GUNBOATS AND THE MARINE BRIGADE SENT TO THEIR ASSISTANCE. —— THE REBELS PUT TO FLIGHT, ——— INTERESTING DETAILS. panes an Rear Admiral Porter, ina report to the Navy Department, received this morning, and bear- ing date July 2, 1963, says that he received a communication on the 29th of June from Gen. Dennis, commanding the post at Young’s Point, informing him that the black troops at Goodrich’s Landing bad been attacked, and that the rebels were getting the upper hand of them. Admiral Porter had already dispatched a gunboat to that point, but sent off another without delay. He also directed Gen. Ellet to proceed with the Marine Brigade to the scene of action and remain there until everything was quiet. The headmost vessel of the brigade (John Raines) arrived there as the rebels were setting | fire to the so-called Government plantations, and suppogng the Raines to be an ordinary transport, opened fire on her with field pieces, but were much surpfised to have the fire re- turned with shrapnel, which fell in among them, killing and wounding a number. The result was a retreat on the part of the rebels, and the escape of anumber of negroes they had imprisoned. The gunboat Romeo also came from up the river about this time, and hearing the firing, hurried to the scene of action. The com- mander soon discovered the rebels setting fire to the plantations, and commenced shelling them. This he kept up for a distance of 15 miles, chasing them along the river bank, the rebels setting fire to everything as they went along. The result was an almost total de- struction of houses and property along the river front in that vic : The rebels succeeded in carrying off about 1,200 negroes who were employed on the so- called Government plantations. Gen. Ellet, haying landed his forces, pro- ceeded xyith a black brigade to chase the rebels, who were making a hasty retreat when they found there was a force after them. The road was strewn with broken carts and furniture, which the rebs left in their haste to get away. It seems to be no part of their system to fight, but simply to plunderand carry off the negroes. Gen. Ellet pursued them as far as Tensas Tiver, Where they had crossed, burnt the bridges and entrenched themselves fora battle. This was soon offered them, and our artillery opened on them and soon put them to flight, notwith- standing it was reported they had twenty field pieces. Gen. Ellet not knowing the country very well, and having only a small torce with him, deemed it proper not to pursue the rebels much further. He sent 200 infantry across the bayou, and found that the rebels were retreating to | Delphi, leaving all their plunder, splendid furniture, pianos, pictures, &c., strewn along the road. The unexpected reinforcement of the brigade and the gunboats sayed the whole of the black troops. Admiral Porter regards the result of this engagement as productive of only a temporary peace, and thinks that as long as the blacks remain in such small numbers, so lon; will they be an object of aitack. . The party who made this attack on the so- called Gevernment Plantations, are the same that attacked Mulliken’s Bend a short time sinee, These are represented by Admiral Por- ter, asa half-starved, half-naked set, whose hope is to capture some of our transports with ciothing and provisions.

They gutted about a dozen other houses. The police didall in their power and finally beat off the ruffians. This morning, a small row occurred in Cedar street, contiguous to the above locality, buta liberal use of police clubs dispersed the ruffians. There was quite a serious riot en Staten Island last night. A band of ruffiians, num- bering five hundred, roamed in detached bands over the island, hunting negroes, ostensibly, but in fact bent on plunder. Several houses of negroes were burned, their occupants fleeing to the woods. Six negroes were killed. ‘Various persons were notified that their hou- ses would be burned. The railroad depot at Vanderbilt landing ‘was burned. The drinking shops were despoiled and gutted, and a perfect reign of tegror prevailed. No private dwellings were destroyed, al- though deep threats were made against Mr. Meverick, one of the editors of the Post, and others. Citizens there are arming and forming a patrol force. A detachment of the Sth regiment, with two howitzers, have been sent down. LATER. age DISTURBANCE IN BROOKLYN, peeegsee ae NEGROES HORRIBLY MALTREATED.

One negro house in Columbia street was de- stroyed, and a few othersmall houses in Tallry street were pillaged. The negroes are being horribly maltreated. Itis reported this morning that both grape and canister were used freely up town last night against the rioters. There were several fires last night in various parts of the city, nearly all, however, being small houses. An attack was made on some residences in Gramercy Park, including the house of Dud- ley Field, from which a volley of musketry was fired into the villains, scattering them. Quite a number of troops are arriving, and some batteries of artillery have reached the city. e The general impression at this hour—noon— is, the worstis over; the mob fearing the ar- rival of tried troops fram the sonth. Large numbers of families have remoyed from the city, and the exodus continues un- abated. Telegraphic communication East has not yet been resumed. Two hotels on Courtland street were some- what damaged, especially the bar-rooms. The Hudson river railroad trains come only to Yonkers, the track this side being torn up. The inhabitants of Yonkers naye organized to protect themselyes, and two companies were last night guarding the Arsenal. At Tarrytown, the inhabitants are also or- ganizing. New Yorks, July 15, Noon.—There is now a & great crowd around the Produce Exchange, threatening the destruction of that fine build- ing. Brooks’ great clothing establishment, on Catharine street, has been gutted by the mob, Who robbed them of $65,000 worth of clothing, women and boys carrying off clothing by armsful. THIRD EDITION 4 O'CLOCK P. M. THE oe THE SURRENDER OF PORT HUDSON. It is understood that by the capture of Port Hudson we come in possession of another little bagatelle of prisoners tothe tune of from ten to eighteen thousand. This will do very well to go with the trifling lot of thirty-one thousand, odd, taken at Vicks- burg. The General Gardiner in command at Port Hindson is the son of ex-Postmaster Gardiner, of this city. . ATTACK UPON CHARLESTON. As some doubt bas been thrown upon the statement that our nayal forces were ready to take part in the attack upon Charleston, in- itiated by the land forces by the movement upon Morris Island preparatory te assailing Fort Sumter, from the fact that Admira) Dahlgren bad arrived out too recently to make his plans, we may say that private letters have been received in this city stating that the moye- ment of our combined forces, land and nayal, to the end:—Ist, of the reduction of Sumter trom Morris and Folly Isiands; and 2d, the capture of Charleston; was to be entered upon during Wednesday night. Gen. Gilmore, who it will be remembered reduced Fort Pulaski when it had been pro- nounced impregnable by some of the first en- gineering authorities of the country, was san- guine of success in knocking Sumter into a cocked hat could he once get a foothold on Morris Island with his Parrott guns. That foothold he has obtained by the admission of the Richmond papers, and we have no manner of doubt that ere this he has pounded 4 hole in the side of Sumter big enough to drive a team ofelephants through. Sumter in our posses- sion, the work of the reduction of the other fortifications defending Charleston is a minor job. Tue Maits.—_Immediately on the extent of the damage to the Washington branch railroad by {the freshet coming to the knowledge of the Post Office Department, the Hon. George W. McLellan, Chief of the Contract Office, ad- dressed a telegram to the Baltimore and Ohio Railread Company, inquiring as to the practi- eability of transmitting the mails by wagon, orin any other way, to secure that importan; object. William Prescott Smith, Esq.. the master of transportation on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, whose indomitable energy is proverbial throughout the whole country, being person- ally engaged at the scene of destruction, did not receive Mr. McLellan’s despatch until 8.30 last evening, when he responded to the Depart- ment’s inquiry as eee LTIMO! CamvEN STATION, 9.30 P. M. sae dhe Sen. Geo. W. MeLellan: The road is now complete, except at Laurel bridge, which will be ready to-morrowevening. Alldelayed mails will be transferred this p. m. in both di- fections. That leaving 11.15 a. m.I had trans- ferred myselt to train which reached Baltimore at.5.15 this p m., and cennected for Philadel- phia at 5.30 P. * The travel by turnpike proved a failure. Many bridges and embankments are gone. Trains will leave Washington at& p. m. and. 3 p.m. and Baltimore at § a, m. and 3.50 p.m, Other trains may be run. W. P, Smita, Mast. of Transp'n. « ‘This morning, however, these fair anticipa- tions were frustrated by the receipt of the fol- lowing dispatch from the same indefatigable officer of the Baltimore and Ohio road: Campen Station, July 15.—I regret te're- port another unexpected difficulty on the hington road, involving adiitional delay to trams with mails, Last night the rain again washed the line at Paint Branch, for nearly 300 feet, where we had built a temporary track over the first track. 1 This has preyented movement of trains this morning, but repairs will be made it is hoped, by three p.m. Inthe meantime the work is progressing well at Laurel Bridge. W. P. Sits, Master of Transportation. Whilst on this subject, it is but sheer justice to the Clerks and other employees of our City Post Office to state that on the receipt of some of the mails at a late hour last night, every man was at his post and distributed all the matter with most praiseworthy emerzy. Tar New York BioTs.—From the mass of confused statements concerning the numbers, purposes and deeds of mischief of the New York mob, the following facts begin to appear: First. That at no time bas the number of per- sons actually concerned in the riots at any one place exceeded 5,000 in number. The rioters are the very scum of creation, including thieves, pickpockets, burglars, and rogues of all descriptions, who are availing themselves of the opportunity for plunder. The wire-workers in the business stand studiously in the back-ground, appalled by the consciousness of the infamy that must attach hereafter to those concerned in the deeds of un- paralleled ruffianism committed by the monster they have created. Ben Wood's paper, the New York News, that on Monday morning egged on the mob by every variety of utterance, ander the headings : “The Iniquitous Conscription,” “Frauds in the Draft,” The Conscription Unconstitutional,” “Conscripts, you are yet Freemen!” “The Wheel of Misfortune,” &c., &c.; but on Tuesday it has an “Appeal to the Populace”’ not to descend to acts of incendiarism and outrage!
