McPherson, Esq., Deputy Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, who returned from his farm near Gettysburg Wednesday, we have the following interesting particulars of the late Gght at that point :—After the first day’s fight the rebels were very jubilant, and took every occasion to taunt our people by sneering at the Army of the Potomac, and declaring that they could not fight even on theirown soil. Mostof the shell fired by the enemy on Friday did not explode. Their fire, too, was noticeably inac- curate. When the rebels were put to flight very many of them dropped their muskets. | Some 3,000 of their guns were picked up on the + field. The rebels left some 6,000 wounded on the ground. They were taken from the field and distribuied among the various buildings in | the neighborhood; and it is estimated that there is nota house within six or eight miles south or west of Gettysburg but has some of the wounded init. Two poor fellows, who were so upfortunate as to crawl off into some remote, locality, were not discovered until ten days | after the battle, and when found were in so | weak a condition as to forbid their being re- | | moyed. A tent was erected over them, their wounds dressed, and food and water given them. The rebels left behind them 3,000 of their dead, who were interred by our forces. they bad charged, but were repulsed. The cu- pola of the Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg was used as an observatory by Gen. Lee, and that, too, while the hospital flag was floating | over it. A professor of the college, who was in the cupola at the time, represents the glass used | by Lee as one of singular excellence, enabling him to distinguish the features of the most re- | mote man upon the field. CAPTURE OF AN ENGLISH SCHOONER. | The U.S.S. Juniata reports the capture, on the 2d instant, of the English schooner Don | Jose, of Nassau, N. P., bound to Havana. She | had a crew of eight persons and two passen- | gerson board. Her cargo consisted of 100 bags They | alliell just in front of our lines, upon which | Your homes and your places of business you baye aright to defend, and it is your duty to defend them at all bazards.

The fire Marshals estimate the losses by fire growing out of the late riot, at ever four hun- | dred thousand dollars. The fires occurred be- tween Monday morning and Thursday night. New York, July 17.Generals Wool and Brown have been relieved from command h2re, and General Canby has assumed command of the Department of the East. Morris Boyle also was arresteffyesterday on the charge of shooting at soldiers, and was Jocked up in the station-house. Judge McCunn promptly issued a writ of habeas corpus, returnable at three o’clock to- day, but thcre being a serious informality in the writ, the prisoner was retained, and has been removed to military quarters. ‘There are come six thousand troops now in the city, ard regiments continue to arrive. New York, July 18, 1.10 a. m.—General Dix I will arrive here in the morning. About three o’clock yesterday the military ‘was withdrawn from the scene of the fight on Thursday night. Over two hundred houses had previously been visited and a quantity of arms seized. Nota casualty was sustained in the Seventh Regiment. General Kilpatrick had a long conference wiih General Sanford te-day, itis urdersteod, in reference to the arrival of cavalry from ‘Wachington to patrol the city. |. General Sanford has ordered all liquor stores in the vicinity ot the arsenal to be closed for | three days. Cannon remain in tbat vicinity, | with a strong guarc, but there is no probability | that it will have to be used. | A dozen persons who attempted to extort | money from James B. Taylor, at his foundry in George street to-day, were all arrested. The military still hold possession of the Thir- teenth Ward, on East river. Efforts to effect the withdrawal of troops from the Eighteenth Ward failed, though rec- ommended by the Governor. Police Commissioner Acton was again noti- fled to-day by some lunatics calling themselves | & committee “to prepare to meet his God.” | Mr. Acton is not particularly affectea thereby, and anticipates the exercise of the pardpning power. The prisoners captured in this city are thirty in number. It is not positively known when drafting will commence, but it is intimated that when it does the Government will not have less than 35,000 troops in New York. All perfectly quiet to-night.

A portion of our caveley wera olnga nn their heels, and whenever the opportunity offered were harrassing them in a manner exceedingly annoying. Other portions of our cavalry are in the mountains, between Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg, and are hourly bringing in hun- dreds of deserters, who are willing prisoners.

Memruis, Jnly 15.—Hurlburt’s scouts report great excitement and consternation throughout Central Mississippi, caused by Gen. Sherman's movement. Cattle, mules, horses and negroes were run across the Tombigbee river at every ferry. Large numbers of the latter are trying to make their way into our lines. Col. Hatch’s 2d Iowa cayalry is in pursuit of the rebel bands north of the Charleston and Memphis Railroad. He encountered Forrest, Biffles and Newcomb, with two thousand mounted men. A fight commenced at the forks of Deer Creek, near Jackson, Tenn. Col. Hatch gained possession of the place and drove them. Our loss was 13 killed and wounded. The rebel loss is from 50 to 100 prisoners and 125 good horses. It is reported that there was a fight at Helena yesterday, but the report is not credited. &a7 The rebels are gathering mp the crops in Kentucky wherever they go. entice says S7 Major Gaines has resumed his duties as Judge Advocate of the Department of Wash- | ington, under Major Geveral Heintzelman. &7 From Shillington, Odeon Building, we have an early copy of Godey’s Lady's Book for August.

THE NEW YORK +‘ CONFEDERACY" NIPPED !N THE BUD, Elsewhere we publish a telegram to the Star, snnouncing the end of the recent riot in New “York. Allinformation from that quarter re- ceived up to this time, goes to make it more certain that public opinion is growing there in intensity, against those whom it so unanimous- ly holds responsible for the excesses of the mob,—Gov. Seymour, whe, in hisspeech to the miscreants styled them «my friends,” and substantially palliated and justified their treason and excesses, and the secession politi- ciens and disloyal newspapers, who, to force peace on the Government with the Union dis- membered, have, since the beginning of the war, been maligning the authorities and mis- representing their acts, and instilling into the minds of the ignorant, cowardly and vicious, the idea that they have a constitutional right to recist the Government's nocessary war measures, by violence. That such teachings in such times as the present should result in re- | mitting the lives and property of the citizens | of New York, for the nonce, to the mercy of the city’s thieves, prostitutes and open and secret sympathisers with the rebellion, is so natural that the authors of the mischief evi- dently make no headway whatever in their efforts to escape the indignation of all sur- rounding them who have anything to lose by such a reign of terror as that through which the Union's commercial metropolis has just passed. THE DRAFT. ————————— IMPORTANT MODINTUARION OF CIRCULAR Provost Marshal General's Office, Washingten, D. Cy July 18, 1863. Circular, No. 51. The fourth paragraph of Circular No. 44, issued from this office July 12, 1863, is hereby modified, 0 as to corzespond with the follow- ing opinion of the Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor of the War Department, which will hereafter govern in all cages in which it is applicable: —_.—_ War Derautment, i OPINION, ‘A person drafted into the military service of the United States, under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1563, chapter 75, for ‘enroll- ing and calling out the national forces, and for other purpores,’ claiming exemption from draft by reason of any disability as provided in caid act, has the right to have the question of his disability submitted to and passed upon by the Board of Enrollment, whose decision thereon is final. If the Board shall have de- cided that the claimant is liable to serve, he has the right, a/fer such decision against him, to pay his commutation money, or to furnish his substitute, within such extended time as may be fixed by the order of the Board of Enroll- ment for his appearance for duty. (Signed) “ WILLIAM WHITING, “ Solicitor of the War Department.” Jas. B. Fry, Provost Marshal Gen’l. THE LAW OF RETALIATION. On the 6th inst. the Confederate authorities caused lots to be drawn among the Union pri- soners in Richmond for two to be shot «in re- | taliation” for the shooting of two Confederate captains, by orders of Gen. Burnside, for re- cruiting in Kentucky for the Confederate ser- vice. The lot fell on Capt. Henry W. Sawyer, of the ict New Jersey cavalry,and Capt. John Flinn, of the 51st Indiana. Our Government, ‘we understand, on learning of this extraordi- nary proceeding, promptly notified the Con- federate authorities that if they undertook to carry out their brutal threat a like number of Confederate officers now in our hands would meet the same penalty. To this end we learn that Capt. W.H.(or J. H.) Tyler, of the sth Virginia cavalry, now in the Old Uapitol prison, has been designated asa hostage for Sawyer, and notified to prepare himself tor the same late that is meted out to the latter. No hestage has yet been selected for Flinn that we are aware. With the long list of Confederate of- ticers now in our hands, from Gen. W. H. Fitz- hugh Lee down, there can be no difficulty in selecting equivalents to carry out any system of retaliation, should the Confederates be so bloodthirsty as to inaugurate it. But the indi- cations are that the Confederate authorities will hesitate long before entering upon a policy that will call upon them the reprobation of the civilized world. ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS. Seven hundred aud twenty-four rebel prison- ers, captured at Falling Waters on the 15th instant, reached here this morning in charge of “aguard under Col. Gates, of the 20th N. Y.S.

THY int OF STARVATION AT THE TIMES ul OF SUBRENDER, pect ber eta THE SURRENDER UNCONDITIONAL, ——— T JOY IN NEW ORLEANS OVER THE em OPENING OF THE MISSISSIPPI. ees New York, July 18.—The steamer Locust Point, from New Orleans on the 11th instant, has arrived. A dispatch to the Era, dated on the morning ot the Sth instant, from Port Hudson, says: Attwo o’clock a parley was sounded from thefort. Being replied to,an inquiry was made aboutnews irom Vicksburg. On being assured it had fallen, Gen. Gardner promised to sur- render to-day. We entered the place at noon. ‘The glorious eyent has filled thearmy with the wildest enthusiasm. A subsequent account states that General Gardner sent a flag of truce on the eighth, asking terms. General Banks responded, “an unconditional surrender, with twenty-four hours to consider.”’ + At seven a. m. on the ninth instant, General Gardner unconditionally surrendered. The moment the surrender was completed the rebels sent @ request for siz thousand rations, as the garrison had eaten its last mule. ‘This was found to be literally the fact. A hundred guns were immediately fired, by order of Gen. Emory, at New Orleans. ‘The loyal citizens were to have & torchlight ion and illumination and general joyful jubilation, on the night of the day the steamer left that city. ‘The news ofthe capture of Vicksburg reached Port Hudson on the 7th, occasioning the great- est enthusiasm. c No mention is made of any of Grant’s troops reaching Port Hudson, and the capture muss bave been made by Banks and his little army. LOCAL NEWS. Horris_e Murper—A Man Stabbed in Five Piaces.—Last night, about nine o'clock, a hor- rible murder took place on north A street, near Second street east, (Capitol Hill,) the victim being an Italian ice cream vender named ‘Wheedi, otherwise “Monte,” who was stabbed in five places, apd must have been killed almost instantly. The Coroner held an inquest this morning, when no less than fifteen wit- nesses were examined, but nothing was elicited as to who was the perpetrator of the bloody deed. The evidence went to show that the de- ceased yesterday afternoon and evening was playing cards with a number of his country- men pear where he came to his death, and af- terwards he was seen at another house fear by. Some of the neighbors heard a scuffle and the tremp of persons running away irom the spot, but ne one appears to have witnessed the deed. But little could be got out of the Italians about the deceased. A colored man stated that he saw a person who looked like the deceased closely followed by two Italians, and atterwards heard that they had a scuilie. Some soldiers, with some of the neighbors, were early cn the spot and found the deceased lying face downwards on the pavement, the biood flowing profusely from his wounds, which consisted of one apparently made with a small but heavy sharp knife above the right ear, entering through the skull into the brain; another about the same size in front of the right ear; one ney through the throat, which was lacerated in a horrible manner; one in the right breast, about fourinches above the nipple, apparently made with a large knife, and a fifth one about an inch and a half below the nipple, made, itis thought, by a bayonet. Some of these wounds were very deep, one being over seven inches, and any one of them would have caused death. Officers Walling, of the Sixth Ward, who was off of duty and at his dwelling near by at the time, and Cole, of the Fifth Ward, were early at the scene, ard on inquiry found that the deceased had been playing cards at a house, and arrested several persons found there on suspicion—Nicholas Sanford, a discharged sailor, Christian Ricker, Carlo Capitano and Angelo Josico, peddlers; Eugene Segiorm, or- gan grinder, and Frank Ceowa, shoemaker— and Frederick Beckler, Angelina Beckler and Mary Devage as witnesses. Sergeant Milstead was at once notified, and with the policemen came round and took the prisoners to the station house, together with the corpse of the deceased, and after the rendi- tion of the verdict by the jury—which was that “the deceased came to his death about nine e’clock on the night of the 17th instant, from wounds inflicted by some two or three heavy sharp instruments, and that after an examina- tion of fifteen witnessess they are unabis to say by whom the deed was committed’—all of them were discharged. The deceased was a young man, of about 23 years of age, and he came to this city with the 39th New York regiment (Garibaldi Guards, ) from which he was discharged some months since, since which time he has been engaged asapeddler. The Italians have taken charge of his body for burial, The impression is that he was attacked for the purpose of robbery. On the pavement, near where the corpse was lying, a emall dirk knife was found, which had not been used, rendering it probable that there were a number of persons ia the attacking party, some of whom had their knives ready, but had not time to use them. fi La CENTER MARKET.—The supply this morning ‘was moderate and the sales brisk, at the tol- lowing prices: Beef, best cuts, prlb.15a2: New peat next, Wal2) Pes 18 Gooseberries, per at Lamb, per a --$1.26a1 4) Celery, per biinch....
