The Peopie’’ Urged to Resist the Draft— 4& Revolution Declared Inevitable. {From the New-York News, August 12.) ‘The recent edict promulgated by President Lincoln, in his communication to Gov. Sey- mour, has created the most interise excitenient in thfs community, who considered they were diving under a Democratic form of Govern- ment. The dictatorial epirit in which the, President refuses to concede tothe justice of Gov. Seymour's request to have the draft sus- nded until its constitutionality can be tested -y the Courts, has fallen like a bombshell | emong the conservative men of the city. Cne of the reporters of the News has visited He details his efforts to take Vicksburg from, the eouth eide by prosecuting the work on the canal commenced by Gen. Williams; and also of his efforts to co operate with Gen. Banks, | by the Yazoo Pass expedition; the details of ; the operations of which are familiar to our j readers. After detailing the operations in the i Yazoo and giving reasons for his withdrawing his forces out of the Yazoo, Gen. Grant says } that this fact “may have been providential in ; driving us ultimately toa line of operations | | As scon as Gen. Grant decided to o) | communication from s point on the ic! successfal.” which has proved eminently as near Milliken’s Bend to New Carthage, ; termined to occupy the latter piace, it Lad | the | tirat_ point below Vicksburg that could be : reached by land at the stage of water then ex. : isting, and the occupancy of which, while it | secured to him a point on the Missiesippi river, | would also protect the main line of commauni- ; cation by water. 1s ‘New thage was accordingly ordered to be occupied by a force under Gen. McOlernand, | aud atthe same time preparations were made | for running transporte by the Micksburg bat- ; teries with Admiral Porter’s "gunboat flee ‘The. boats got by. the Vicksburg batteries suc- | cessfully; and here Gen. Grant tales occasion | to highly liment ee forces of he United Si sa 2 nit isa aininy Dalerones far as my obser- % wation goes, of the present volunteer army of IN BURNSIDE’S j the United States, that there is nothing which | men are called upon to do, mechanical or pro- ! fessional, that accomplished adepts cannot be found for the duty required'in almost.every regiment.” in the 29th of April it was intended that the mavy should silence the guns of the enemy, and | the troops land under cover of the gunboats } and carry the place bystorm; and accordingly at 8 o'clock that day the navy commenced the | attack. It soon became evident that the gans | of the enemy were too elevated and their forti- fications too strong to be taken from the water side. The whole range of hills on that side were known to be linea with rifle-pits, besides the field artillery could be moved to any posi- tion where it could be made usefal in case of an attempt at landing. This determined Grant to again run the enemy’s patteries, turn his | position by effecting a landing at Rodney, or at H Spruinsboye, between Grand (iulf and Rodney. | Accordingjy the gunboats again engaged the batteries at night, the transports ran past, and | at the same time an expedition was ordered out in the direetion of Bruinsburg; and the Thir- teenth Army Corps, which composed the ex- pedition, was within three days after ordered | to Port Giteon. On May Ist McClernand and his corps en- gaged theenemy four miles from Port Gibson. "he encmy was here repulsed with a heavy Ices in killed, wounded and prisoners. The ; Tepulse of the enemy on our left took place late | in the afternoon. He was pursued toward | Port Gibson, but night closing in, and the ene- my making the appearance of another stand, the trcops slept upon their arms until day- light. In the morning it was found that the enemy had retreated across Bayou Pierre, on the | Grand Gulf road, and a brigade of Logan’s di- vision was sent to divert his attention while a Hoating bridge was being built across Bayou { Pierre immiediately at Port Gibson. his | bridge was completed, eight miles marched by McPherson's corps to the north fork of Bayou | Pierre, that stream bridged, and the advance of this corps commenced passing oyer it at five o’clock the following morning. 4 On the 3d the enemy was pursued to Haw- + kineou’s Ferry, with slightskirnvshing all day, - during which we took quite a number of pris- oners, mostly stragglers from the enemy. | - Grand Gulf having then been evacuated, Gen, Grant changed his base to that point. _ During sll this time Gen. Sherman had been left behind, and was ordered to make a demon- stration on Haines’ Bluff, in order to prevent | the ememy from reinforcing Vicksburg. This | succeeded. About this time Gen. Grant received informa- tion that Beauregard was expected at Jackson, | different directions, and on the 7th of May an advance was ordered along the Black River. he met the enemy near Raymond two brigades strong, under Gregg and Walker, on the same day engaged him, and after several hours’ hard fighting drove him with heavy lose in killed, wounded and prisoners. Many threw cown their arms and deserted. Grant's position at this time was with Sher- man’s corps, some seven miles west of Kay- mond, and about the center of the army. On the night ot the 12th of May, after orders had been given for the corps of McClernand and Sherman to march toward the railroad by arallel roads, the former in the direction of <dward’s Station, and the latter to a point on | the railroad between Edward's Station and | Bolton, the order was changed, and both were | directed to move toward Raymond. This was in consequence of the enemy having re reated toward Jackson after his defeat at | Raymond, and of information that reinforce- ments were daily arriving at Jackson, and that Gen. Joe Johnson was hourly expected there to take command in person. Particulars are then given of the fight at and capture of Jackson, Mississippi. Grant was informed that Pemberton had been ordered by Johnston to march out of Vicks- _ burg snd attack his (Grant’s) rear; and he therefore ayailed himself of the information and issued orders to McClernand and Blair, of Sherman’s corps, to face their trcops toward Bolton, with a yiew to reaching Edward's Station, marching on different roads converg- ing near Bolton. as to feel the enemy, if he encountered him, | but not to bring on 4 general engagemeat un- | lesshe was conlident he was able to defeat him; and also to order Blair to move with him. Full particular- are then given of the pur- | £uit of Johnston «ud of the arrival ofthe Union | army before Vicksburg on the sth of April, | and of its complete investment on the morning | Of the 19th. ‘The possession of Vicksburg at that time would haye enabled Grant to drive Johnston from the State and take possession of all the railfoads, &c.: and conseq uently a gen- erat ascault was ordered to take place on the On that day a portion of the commands of each corps succeeded in planting their flags On the outer slopes of the enémy’s bastions, and maintained them there until night.

On entoring the yoom where the General and his aids were burily engaged in writing and examiniug docu- mente, C. T.

The assault was gallant in the extreme on the part of all the troops, but the enemy's Position was too strong, both naturally and Artificially, to be taken in that way. At every point assaulted, and at all of them at the same time, the enemy was able to show all the force his works could cover The assault failed, I regret to say, with much loss on our side in killed and wounded: but without weakening the confidence of the troops in their ability to ultimately succeed. No troops succeeded in entering any of the enemy's works with the exception ot Sergeant Griffith, of the 2tst regiment Lowa volunteers, and some eleven privates of the game regi- ment. Of theee none returned except the ser- geant and posaibly one man. The work en- tered by him, from its position, conld give us no practical advantage, unless others to the Tight and lett of it were carried and held at the same time. About 12 m. Gen. McClernand was directed to reinforce pela hard pressed from such troops as he had that were not enzaged. Gen.

ML- FROM NEW YORK. Se ICATION OF A BENBWAL OF THE RIOTS. —_—_———Ss From an intelligent and well-informed gen. tleman who reached here to-day from New York, we learn that there many indications of an ‘intended renewal by the there of their recent acts of mob law in case the draft -sball be enforced. Our tnformant estates that in Rochester city also, the mischievous element is busily en- gaged fomenting oppocition to the draft, and unless the Government's prompt to take meas- ures for theenforcement of the law; it ie feared by many that the most serious riots are yet to be recorded. ‘We presume the Government has taken all Tequisite precautions,.and believe that much of thie talk in New York State is merely by way of threat in the hope of intimidating the Government. ; . The’ perfect’ good-temper with which’ the draft i= taxen here, where the ratio is much heavier (one. to three instead of one to five, ae in New York.) than there, shows that the op- to it there on the ground of its severity. and oppreseion, is merely & “made up thing.” Ps hae Seca cpetnge er OHI AND THE. WAR IN THE KAST. gasanleaetoe a A MERITORIOUS OFFICER. sentniarars ores We notice in town, on a hasty visit from the army, that brave and experienced officer, Col. Orland Smith, acting Brigadier General in command of the 2d Brigade 2d Division Elev- enth Army Corps, whose gallantry and cool discretion at critical moments has won for him so much approbation, and especially at Gettysburg elicited the warm commendation of the veteran Howard. Col. Smith abandoned his busiaess occupations in Ohio at heavy pe- cunisry sacrifice, to raise and bring into the fleld the 734 Ohio regiment, some eighteen months ego, and has served most faithfully and gallantly ever sincé, winning honors at McDowell Cross Keys, Ball Run 2d, Chan- cellorsyille, and at Gettysburg, where he de- fended and maintained the importani central position in front of the Cemetery with singular ability. Upon the first opportunity after that action, the officers of the 24 Brigade, which ‘was organized by Sigel—( who had the highest opinion of Col. Smith’s abilities, )—for the ex. prees purpose of placing it under him, madea preeentation to Col. S., in the shape of a costly sword, sash and belt, from Tiffany’s, which had a more earnest meaning than such presen- tations usually ba ve,fromits entire spontaniety; and especially trom the enthusiasm with which his remarks made upon the occasion, upon the necessity of unity, the justness of our cause, the littleness of party ambitions, and the duty of conducting the etruggle in the interests of human freedom, was received by his com. mand. The feeling there displayed was a death knell to Vallandigham-ism; and we maybe assured that when western troops and western officers of the standing of Col. Smith, take this stand, copperheadism in the West will soon receive its quietus. We hear that the claims of Col. Sihith to @ Brigadier Generalship sre being earnestly urged by his friends, and trast that they will be successful, uct only as putting the right man—brave, expe- rienced and loyal—in the right place; but also asa fitting compliment to the gallant Western troops of his command. . PrERSONAL.—Gov. Todd, of Ohio, hasarrived in Washington. Considerable interest is attached to his visit here, from tRe report tbat he is to meet with Governors of other States and varicus other prominent men, for the purpose, itis surmised, of considering the prerent condition of poliucal affairs and the probable return of the Southern States to the Union. PenrsonaL.—Governor Randall, First As- sistant Postmaster General, has returned from his trip North. Provost Marehal Todd returned from New York this morning. Isaac Newton, Eeq., Commissioner of Agri- culture, leaves to-morrow for the sea shore. During his absence, James S.

WHEATLAND, 15th March, 1850. My Dear Sin: 1 was in town this afternoon, and, receiving yonr letter there,-I gave it a hasty answer, provoked thereto by the condact of Cameron. So far from having in any degree recoiled from the Missouri promise, I have Pe ared a letter to sustain it, written with allthe jittle ability of which lam master. You may ask why it has not been published? The an- swer is very easy. From acareful examina- tion of the proceedings in Congress, it is clear that non-intervention is all that will be re- uired by the South. Webster's speech is to be the base of the compromise—it is lauded to the echo by distinguished Southern men—and what is it. fon- int vention, and non-intervention simply because the Wilmot Previso in not re- quired to prevent thecurse of Slayery trom being inflicted on the Territories. Under these circumstances it would be mad- ness in me to publish my letter, and take ingher ground forthe South than they have taken for themselves. This would be to out- Herod Herod and to be more Southern than the Sonth. It conld do no good, buat might do much mischief, The truth is the South have got themselves into a condition on this question from which it appears to me that they cannot extricate themeelyes. My proposition of the Missouri Compromise was at once abandoned by them, and the cry was non-intervention. They fought the buttle at the last Presidential election with this device upon their bannere, The Democra- cy of Pennsy!yania are now every where raily- ing to non-intervention. They suppose in do- ing this they are standing by the South in a manner most acceptable to their Sonthern brethern. Our Deniocratic journals are prais- ing the speech of Webster, because all the a, pesrances are that it is satisfactory to the South. It is now too late to change front with any hope of success. You may treat with honor upon the principle that you can carry your slaves to California, and hold them their under the Constitution, and referthe question to the Supreme Court of the United States. I am sorry for your sakes and my own that such is the condition in which you are placed. leay for my own sake, because I can neyer yield the position which I have deliberately taken in favor of the Missouri Compromise, and I shal} be aseailed by fanatics and free. soilers as long as I live, for having gone fur- ther in support of the rights of the South than Southern Senstors and Representatives. Iam committed for the Missouri Compromise, and that committal ehall stand. Sbould there be any unexpected change in the aspect of affairs at Washington which would hold out the hope that the publication of my Missouri Compromise letter would dd any good, itshall yet be published. 1 was about to write more; .but this letier is Tong enough. - It may be, and doubliess was the fact, that in 1819 and 1520 my name was placed on a committee wBich reported the resolutions to which that ecamp, (¢eneral Cameron, refers. I was then a young man, and had a great ven- eration for the chairman of the committee as my legal preceptor, and probably was under the influence of the excitement then univer- alin Pennsylvania. I first went to Congress in December, 1921, and throughont my whole ublic career have teen uniform in maintain. ing the just constitutional rights of the Sonth.

A deserter from Fort ‘Wagner says two-thirds of the guns have been removed from Fort Sumter and mounted on James Island, and that the fall of Sumter is considered by the rebels asa certainty.
