THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY «0. - JULY 17, 1863. | @7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE, BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- G@BAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. A MISCHIEVOUS FALSEHOOD EX-_| PLAINED. By way of relieving Governor Seymour, of | New York, from the immense weight of public odium which his course in pandering tothe mob EXTRA! TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. | THE LATEST FROM NEW YORK. Terrible Fight on 29th street last night ! | Eleven Rioters Shot Down and Numbers Captured! no less than his identification with those who have been for more than a year past striving to bring about the exact state of things in that city which have so recently occurred in New — York bas brought upon him, the World news- paper yesterday made the following statement: “GOVERNOR SEYMOUR AND THE Riot.—I should be distinctly known that Governor Sey- moour lett this city late on Friday last, after passing a week in sedulous attention to the de- enses of the harbor, without haying received Any intimation from the federal authorities of | heir intention to attempt the execution here ot tie draft. duct disappears from sight in the contempla- tion o: the frightiul scenes which might haye been spared our city and our country had the oificials at Washington done their manifest duty and communicated te the executive of New York their intention of commencing a conscription involving the happiness and the dives er citizens. This miserable attempt to achieve a surreptitious triumph, at once over official decency, constitutional law and civil rights, will fix upon those who were guilty of ita fearful responsibility in the fu- H ure.”” We have to say that this is entirely without foundatien in truth, knowing as we do, posi- tively, that early in this month Gov. Seymour was duly notified, by letter from the Provost Marshal General in this city, that orders had been sent to New York city for the prompt commencement of the draft, with a list of the several districts in which it was to be made, the number of men required from each, &c. He was further notified that «the records from which calculations, as well as the calcu- lations themselves, in determining the quota are on file in this office. They are impartial, and claimed to be entirely correct; but if an er- ror should be discovered or pointed out in them it will be duly corrected in the next subsequent draft. I beg that you willdo allin your power to enable the officers acting under me to com- plete the draft promptly, effectually, fairly and successfully.” We have further to add, that on no oceasion when a draft in New York has been necessary, has the Governor of that State failed to be notified of the fact through a similar official letter from this point; the said notification being in all cases sent on the day on which the particular draft was ordered. ESCAPED FROM THE REBELS. Among the prisoners captured by the rebels atthe recent battle at Gettysburg, was Co!. harles Wheelock, of the {7th Reg msat N.Y, ‘Volunteers, who, however, managed to make his escape; his captors either being not very | vigilant or having so much desire to get away to Dixie, as not to be able te keep a close watch upon their prisoner. Col. W. escaped into the mountains, and was two days and nights with- out food or drink, and (as he expresses it) «* 1,000 feet above civilization, and living among rattlesnakes and wild cats.” that, however, preferable te Libbey prison, and is now safe at Frederick. In the engagement Col. W. was slightly wounded in the leg bya shell. {From the Richmond Enquirer, of 13th inst.] Landing of the Emcmy at Brandon. A report, deemed authentic, reached the city on yesterday that the enemy was landing in considerable force at Brandon, on James river. Brandon 1s situated on the northeast extremity of Prince George county, about twenty miles below City Poimt, and about thirty due east from Petersburg. A raid against the Weldon abd Petersburg railroad is doubtless the object of this move. CHARLESTON, July 10.—The firing on both sides ceased at 6% o'clock p. m. The principal fighting has been with the Bat- tery Wagner, on Morris Island. Four monitors were engaged trom5 a. m. to 2p.m. renewed the attack at 3 o'clock. The Infantry fighting has also been severe. The Yankees made two assaults on Fort Wagner and were repulsed. Our casualties are about 150 killed, wounded and missing, including three officers killed— Capts. Yaskell and Cheeyes, and Lt. Bell. It is supposed the fight will be renewed te- morrow, (11th).

General Kilpatrick arrived here lastevening, and a farce of cavalry is to be immediately organized for a mounted patrol. From military movements this morning quietly made, there will be but little opportua- | nity for the rioters to carry on their infamous designs to-day, any attempt at which will meet with a most terrible check. The 152d New York regiment arrived at midnight. The probably last fight of consequence be- | tween the military and the lioters took place | last night near Twenty-ninth street, where a | military force had been sent to drive away the | scoundrels who were plundering houses there. | The mob cencentrated strongly, and the mili- tary withdrew. Nearly every house for three or four blocks on both sides of the street were filled with the mob, who fired bullets, stones, and other dead- ly missiles upon the soldiers. The 7imes’ report states that fifteen members of the fitth company of the 7th Regimentare re- | ported kiiled by stones and brickbats. | Seven hundred Regulars were sent up asa | reinforcement, When a terrible battle took | place. Eleven rioters were killed and wounded, and thirty-five taken prisoners. Two of the mob were run through with bay- nets, very handsomely.

As we go to press to-day Pennsylyania av- enue is wild with aramor alleging the reception by the Government this forenoon of information of the fall of Charleston before our land and naval forces under General'Gilmere and Rear Admiral Dahlgren. We regret to be compelled to discredit this report. A dispatch has reached here from the West stating that rebel prisoners taken say that Charleston has fallen. These prisoners doubtless allude to the fall of the portion of the defences of Morris Island, an account of the capture of which has already that even if Charleston is by this time in our han ds, it is impossible that information of the | fact could reach Washington by thistime.

C., July 17, 1863. Circular No. 48. The operations of the draft lately ordered in the New Engiand and Middle States, though, in most instances, completed or now in prog- ress without opposition, haye in one or two cities been temporarily interrupted. Provost Marshals are informed that no orders haye been issued countermanding the draft. Adequate force has been ordered by the Goy- ernment to the points where the proceedings have been interrupted. | Provost Marshals will be sustained by the military forces of the country in enforcing the | draft, in accordance withthe laws of the | United States, and will proceed to execute the | orders heretofore given for draft, as rapidly as | shall be practicable, by aid of the military eg eee Wak DEPARTMENT, i forces ordered to co-operate with and protect Janes B. Fry, Provost Marshal General. them. Latest from Gen. Lee’s Army—The Ad- vance at Front Royal. Reliable advices state that the advance of Lee’s army was at Front Royal this morning. The whole army was moying as rapidly as possible towards Richmond, without order or arrangement, baggage trains, ammunition trains, cavalry, infantry and artillery being | inextricably mixed up together. The rebels depend on their superior celerity of movement, and do not care to niarch in order of battle. A rebel officer captured yesterday afternoon | says that itis not Lee’s intention to fight this side of Richmond if he can avoid it.—Chronici-. We doubt if any portion of Lee’s army pro- per has reached Front Royal. It would bea physical impossibility for it to have reached there within the time since Lee crossed the Potomac; and the terrible rains have certainly tended to delay its progress. A As in the advance of Lee into Maryland, so in his retreat, he is forced to move on the are of the circle, while our army, moving on the chord of the same, has the power to intercept him.

Johnson, detached from the | Naval Asylum, Philadelphia, and ordered to | the stea frigate Wabash as surgeon of the fieet of the South Atlantic blockading squadron, Surgeon George Clymer, detached from the | steam frigate Wabash as surgeon of the fleet of the South Auantic blockading squadron, and ordered to return No#th.

EXTRACTS FROM PAPERS TO THE 14TH, pant see Wailing Over Great Disasters—The At- tack on Charleston—Lee’s Defeat Ac- knowledged—Fall of Vicksburg, &c. a The Attack on Charleston—Great Disasters Acknowledged. The Richmond Enquirer of the Mth, in an | editoria ays: | «The fall of Vicksburg, the retreat of Bragg, the repulse of Lee, and the advance on Charles- ton are all serious disasters, the most serious that attended our arms since the commence- ment of the war.” The defeat of Johnston by Sherman had not been heard from at that time. The Defeat of Lee—Acknoledgment of Deteat. | The Richmond papers conceal their great distress under a bold front. The Whig of the 9th says: The intelligence from Gen. Lee falls short of the promise of the dispatches published yes- terday, and will prove a grievous disappoint- ment to the high wrought hopes of the public. Superadded to the calamity at Vicksburg, it casts a sombre shadow over our affairs; but ‘we must constantly bear in mind that true greatness is revealed in its noblest attributes; and we must resolve that, come what may, the cause shall never go down, nor lack courage- ous hearts or stout arms enough to bear it on to a glorious triumph. The Fall of Vicksburg—W Rebel Papers. The Richmond Whig of the 9th has several articles on the fall of Vicksburg, from which we make a few extracts: What is most to’be feared as the immediate result of the fall of Vicksburg is the conversion of the great army under Grant from a station- ary Into a moving force, Fromits organization, almost, it has been confined to the work of taking that city. It is now free tooperate else- where This is the evil against which the Government is called to make the most ener- getic preparations. Itis not difficult to imag- ine in what direction Grant will move, nor to estimate the effect of so powerful an army coming upon the field, with no corresponding accession on our side. This is the danger that resents the most serious grounds for alarm. ie would be blindness not to see it, and im- Lecility not to put forth the most strenuous exertions to guard against it. We can only pray that those to whom the management of affairs is entrusted may be equal to the crisis. The Whig says that the following official dispatch was received at the War Department on Tuesday night: ACKBON, July 7.—Hon. J. A. Seddon, Secreta- of War: Vicksburg capitulated on the 4th instant. The garrison was paroled and are to be returned to our lines, the officers retaining their side-aims and personal re . This intelli.ence was brought n officer who left the place on Sunday the 5 J, E. Jounston, General. Jackson, July 7.—But little more is known of the tullof Vicksburg. Officers who have come out sey that had Gen. Johnston reached there twelye days sooner he could not have relieved the garrison, as they could not muster over 7,000 men for duty. Many of the citizens were Jeaving with their tamilies, negroes, stock, &c. Sugar.

C., July 7.— ene es 4 passed the’ mills iiPtogar” It ou been published in the Star. We feel very sure. home to serve for three mon! The Richmond Enquirer of the 13th has the followi ng: The Situation in Maryland. ‘The President received a letter from Gen. Lee on Saturday which puts to rest all anxie- ties in relation to the situation of our army in Maryjand, and confirms the statements which bave been made that our army has been uni- formly victorious in its encounters with the enemy in Pennsylvania. The letter states in efiect that the engagement at Gettysburg re- sulted in defeating the enemy completely, in killing end wounding a number far exceeding our own, and in the capture of a large number of prisoners, that the falling back of our army to Hagerstown was a prudential move not oc- casioned by. any success on the partof the enemy, and not through any Bs reer ot contingencies arising which ight ensure his success at that point. The gist of the letter, in a few words, is that the enemy was even more thoroughly cut up and whipped than he has ever been on South. ern soil, and that the occupation of Hagerstown ‘was & Movement dictated by strategy and pru- dence, as ecsential to the success of the cam- paign. The secret involved in this movement may as well be leit to Gen. Lee to develope in his own good time. The prisoncrs in our hands and on the way here, are, we understand, estimated at between 15,(00 and 18,000. The army 1s in fine spirits and excellent condition. The army correspondent of the Enquirer, writing from Winchester, July 8, claims a Confederate victory on Wedresday at Gettys- burg, but says of Thursday's battle: «The result of this day’s fighting cannot be said by apy means @ decided success to us;” that Fri- day’s fighting resulted in « mostdisastrous loss of officers and men” to the Confederates; and that «the results of the three days’ fights may be summed up in immense losses on both sides, but in the two last days’ encounters we were unable to carry the heights beyond and below Gettysburg.” The came correspondent writes, July 9th: Our army is certainly now at Hagerstown, Boonsboro’ and Frederick, Md., and seem to be on the route to Baltimore, My own im- presion is that the great battle of the war will be fought at or near the Relay House; the prizes at stake being nothing less than Baltimore and Washington. The slanghter has been dreadful, and the fighting most severe. It is said we had 500 pieces of artillery bearing upon them. It is reported that we lost some of our wounded in the change of base, but beyond this I think Gen. Lee has not been hurt. The latest reporis represent the army in motion. The great loss of general field and staff offi- cers was unavoidable on account of our posi- tion being so well commanded, and, indeed, raked by the enemy’s batteries, and not because of any necessity to expose themselves in order to get the troops forward; for all concur that the men never fought better or charged harder or faster. The Enquirer's correspondent answers the question what the South gains by the invasion of a free State with so heavy a loss by saying thatit demonstrates to the North the ability of the southern people not only to repel aggres- sion but to assist largely in banishing from the minds of the northern people theirschemes for the subjugation of the South. He then says" “A Gelgotha monument to the folly of this cruel crusade has been erected in the heart of Pennsylvania, near the homes of those who have been most energetic in its prosecu- tion. The chalice which they haye commend- ed to others has been pressed to their own lips. The draught is bitter, but like all healthy med- icin€s 1t must work good results political and social to the system of our opponents. I confess that I have no great hopes of grand results likely to flow from “Maryland, my Maryland.” She has been so long held down and £0 long exempted from the ravages of war, that I believe the impnise of patriotism willbe merged in the reflections ot expediency and drowned ir the calculation of interest and ne- cessity. Had Virginia so argued, hermenhood would have been long since destroyed, and her fame unenviable. A kior at BurraLo.—We hear from passen- gers from Buffalo this forenoon, that that city is again disgraced by a mob, this time on account of the draft. Fears were expressed that the mob would seize the State arsenal there and Government property.

He was about 35 years of age, and was much es- teemed by his associates on the road. Officer Barkely was.on the spot and rendered all the assistance in his power.
