TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. [ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.] LEE’S ARMY ACROSS THE POTOMAC, > The Infantry Cross at Falling Waters, and the Artillery at Williamsport, The Baltimore American of last evening, has the following telegraphic dispaich : Wittiamsrort, July i4.—I telegraphed to you from Boonsboro this (Tuesday) morning, that Lee’s army was retreating, and would probably escape &cross the river. Our army was undcr orders to move at day- light this morning. It moved only to find no enemy in frontotit. I followea .ue advance down to this place, and a cleaner clearing ont than the rebels have made could not be ima- gined. The rebels commenced their retreat yester- day morning. Their infavtry crossed princi- paily upon a pontoon bridge at Falling Waters, and their wagons and artillery at the ford at Williamsport. The river is not so high as re- ported. The people of Williamsport say that the rebels dreaded an attack yesterday from Gene- ral Mexde, as part of their force yesterday was already &cross the river. Their fortifications in tront of Williamsport are mere temporary affairs, and, as their line was long, they would easily have been carried by assault by our troops. We waited just one day too jong There Was tome artillery firing at Falling Waters this afternoon, and it is reported on very good authority that some 2,000 rebels have been captured Yours, &c., EF. Lute from the Army. We learn trom a gentleman who left the front last nigh: thatGer Meade, immediately on ascertaining the escape of Lee, put the whoje ariy inmotion for a new base of opera- tions, calculated to check the rebel retreat on its way to Richmond. Having the inver line of movement he will be able to secure all the mountain passes on the Virginia sade of the Potomac before the enemy can reach it. His army is in fine condi- tion and ready to tolow rapidiy. Pontoons were across the river last evening, and we have no doubt that his adyance is already on Virginia soil. We also learn that the delay in attacking the rebels wus owing to the differences of opinion among the corys commanders, to whose views General Meade yielded in oppos.tion to hisown judgment, sustained by Generals Pleasanton and Warren. They were all for an immediate atitck on coming up, before the enemy had Ume to intrench, How Lee was Permitted to Escape. ARMY oF THEPOTOMAC, July 14.—The first newe ef the retreat of Lee and his army into Virginia was received at Hagerstown, at four o’clock this morning, from a citizen who liyed within their lines. General Kilpatrick, commanding division at that pcint, soon had his men on the road, and reached Williamsport at seven o'clock, where he found five hundred rebel soldiers. The news reached General Meade’s head- quirters at fiye o’clock, when General Bu- tord’s division of eavalry was ordered to Fall- ing Waters, where they engaged and captured a brigade of retels under General Pettigrew, who was killed. The position of the rebels was naturally a strong one, but their works were not of much account, consistng principally of hurriedly constructed rifle-pits. Atier Lee had retreated across the river, it wae ascertained that he commenced to move his artillery to the rear as early as yesterday morning, which was continued during the whole duy, depending almost wholly upon in- fantry and cayaliry to keep our army in check. General Meade held 2 council of war on Satarday and Sundey evenings, consisting of corps communders, when the question ofattack was freely discussed. General Meade was in favor of active operations, but finding his corps commanders were divided, he hesitated to give the order, and so the rebel army was permitted to make its escape. Au order was issued 01 Monday evening for @& movement along the whole line at seven o’cloc k this morning. Yesterda, ternoon about two thousand of the Pennsylvania militia, which had arrived in the vicinity of Hagerstown, were taken to the front, and put into action. They were imme- ciately ordered to charge the enemy, which they promptly did, but not without severe loss. Uur Cavalry Overtake the Enemy—One Hundred of them Captured. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMac, July 15.—Our cayalry overtook and engaged the eneiny’s rear guard this morning, near Charlestown, and captured about a hundred prisoners. All is quiet to-night. Our army changed its position. Hundreds of Lee’s Men Drowned—He Goes Back with Less than Halt his Invading Army. BaLtimory, July 15.—A gentleman who left Williamsport this morning says that not a vestige of armed rebels are this side of the Potomac. Hundreds of them were drowned stattempting toswim the river. As soon uce reached the Potomac’s banks numbers of his soldiers threw away a& cavalry large their arms and tried to cross, Itis estimated that not over forty thousand rebels of the ninety thousand that composed ihe Invading army got again into Virginia, and those were thoroughly demeralized., It is now plainly visible that Lee never designed fighting agnin this side of the Potomac. Al he did were mere ftints. The New York riot and resistance to draft has not the slightest effect here, and by mutual consent we are perfectly quiet. The first inti- mation of mob resistance would be met with annihilation. No Copperheads‘tre permitted to agitate the question, They are not allowed to show them- selyes except in conformity to law. Hnckster- ing politieians are dispersed, especially such ug the Woods, Vallandizhams, &c. LiGHT DANE EN Se IN NORTH CARO- NA. A Majority of the Legislature in Favor of | the Onion. Newnerry, N. C., July 12.—Hon. Bradford Brown, State Senator from Qaswell county, Noyth Carolina, Has taken open grounds for « reconstruction of the Union. itis understood, und as much is admitted by the Raleigh Stand- ard, that a majority of her Legislature and Sovereign Convention concur with Brown; but itis thought in Raleigh that they cannot with safety to herself throw off the Confederate yoke *O long as the rebel army hold Virginia, or until there is sufficient Federal force here to sustain het in such an effort. Hon. John A. Gilmer and other extensive | slayeholders in this State aresaid te bein faver Ot gradual emancipation; a system which it is understood North Carolina will be required to Accept as the chief conditien of settlement betwcen her and the Federal States. _ Later intelligence from the Legislature, now in tession at Raleigh, contirms the reports that many of its members have come out for &n im- mediate repealot the act passed by the Sover- eign Convention of this State, and for the recall howe by Governor Vance of the North Caro- na Soaps from the Confederatearmy atonce. Should General Lee’s army be annihilated or fal ln from reaching this State, the re- pea} of this act may take place ‘at any moment; Otherwise matters will remain as above stated. itis snid that while the discussion of repealing the act of secession was going on adistinguished Thew ber suggested a foreign war as a method ofcementing the States together, which was applauded to the echo, all partirs joining. MORGAN IN OHIO, His Escape very Doubtful, Cincinnati, July 15.—Morgan reached Georgetown, brown county, Ohio. at midnight.

The Jeurnui of C of last evening says: “ The riot broke out yesterday mornin ten o’ciock, in the 7th and i3th ward. kody ot men whe had convened at di points in the above-mentioned wards, marched down Pitt street for the pupose of visiting the ship yards and compelling the workmen io jom them. Wood had been received at the central police office of this movement; and a detachment of 150 rezulars, under command of Lieut. Wood, marched te the scene of action. As they passed along Pitt street they encoun- tered the mob 2,000 strong, who were yelling like demons. t. Wood drew his men into line, and ordered “shoulder arms.” One of the tingleaders approached Lieut. Wood and de- sired tospeak with him. The officer told him to stand aside, when a yolley of stones was hurled at the troops. They stood their ground; and then the lien- tenant directed his men to fire over the heads of the crowd. The rioters tnen discharged pis- is tols at the soldiers, when the-lieutenant gave | the word to fire point blank, and a volley was fired, killing twelve men andtwochildren, and | wounding seventeen men. The soldiers then loaded tor another volley, but the mob did not wait for it. They ran, frightened, at the top of their speed into the side streets, the soldiers pursuing them, but without further firing. No soldier was injured. Lt. Wood shpped accidently and sprained his ankle severely. In less than fiye minutes after the firing there was nota citizen to be seen fora space of several blocks around the scene of slaughter. About 10 o'clock a iormidab'e riot broke out in Second avenue, near Thirty-fourth street. The mob commenced ft buildings and as- sailing persons in the streets. Information of the outbreak beins sent to the Central office, a powerful force of policemen and a detachment of artillery was ordered tothe spot. The rioters weie found to be 5,40 strong. ‘The policemen attacked them at once with clubs, and used their pistols where it was necessary. The crowd broke bejore their determined onslaught, but rallied again. The battery of two six- pouncers, under command of Col. O’Brien, then opened on the rioters with blank cart- ridges, and at the first discharge the crowd were uispersed and had nov reassembled at the latest accounts. A large number of the rioters were wounded, and several are be- lieved to have been killed. At 10 o'clock the house occupied by Colonel | O’Brien, (who had volunteered his services to assist in suppressing the mob,) in Second aye- nue, was assaulted by the mob, and most of the furniture destroyed, und a large number of valuable articies stolen. The house would have been burut down, but the fact became known thatit wes owned by another person, and it wus therefore spared, Goy. Seymour made an address to the crowd from the City Hall steps. SPEECH OF GOV. BEYMOUR, He svid, in substance, that he had been called | here by existing trouble, and begged the people to understand that in destroying life and prop. erty they only injured themselyces. He was their triend. They had the power to maintain order. It was their interest to do it, and it was also their duty. It was nota question of con- seription. The conscription was not in pro- grees. Hehad sent Adjutant General Spraguc io Washington to ask that the draft might be stopped untit the coeria could decide upon its teqatity. Here there was an outburst of enthusiusm, esting several minutes.) To the decisiva of the courts they owed obedience and Tespect. If the courts decided the law legal he would use every exertion to ser that there should be no inequale ity we the matter of exemption between rich and poor. [Great cheering.)

That those pol- incians organized the resistance and promised to pay the rioters for all losses they might sus- lain, and that iow they skulked and were not tebe found.

About 7 o'clock a large crowd asaembled on | Fourth avenue and Eighty-sixth street, and marched down to the residence of Postmaster Wakeman, on He Been between Foarth and Fixth avenues. he rioters were preceded by about fifty boys, who clambered over the fence, got inside, and proceeded very deliber- ately to light a fire on one of the parlor floors. ‘The inmates had previously left. As soon as the fire was started, the main body, yelling like demons, rushed through every room in the house, carried away every portable article on the premises, and what | could not be carried away was broken into the smallestatoms. In less time than it has taken to write this, the house was completely gutted ond turned literally inside out.
