Hooker, which have been Occupying @ position at Malvern Hill, withdrew on Wednesday night, leaving a strong guard, however, at Haxall’s station. The rebels, under the impres- sion that our whole army was advancing when Gen. Hooker moved up with his reconnoitering party, came in by three different roads from Rich- mond towards Malvern, but they were disappointed in their calculations as to Gen. McClellan’s move- ments. Genera! Halleck has proposed to the President to fill up the officers of all the new regiments which may be formed from those already in the Service, instead of appointing them from the ranks of inexperienced civilians, or others who may be instrumental in raising regiments. This plan, if carried out, will be of vast service to the army. 1t will afford promotion to many worthy officers who have endured hardship and privation for the cause of their country, and will secure to the now levies commanders who understand their duty in the field. It will be seen by the list of promo- tions, &c., in the New York regiments, up to the Sth inst., that quite a number of non-eommissioned Officers have been promoted to lientenancics, ‘The news from General Pope’s army ia not very important. The General reviewed the infantry and artillery of General Banks’ command yesterday, The typhoid fever prevails in many of the regi- ments, the Sixtieth New York suffering considera- bly. Thé latest news from Culpepper intimates the advance of an expedition from that point, the object ef which, of course, it is not deemed proper to state. Seoretary Stanton has Issued two important orders, which will be found in another column. The stringency of these orders is in keeping with the exigencies of the times, The first forbids al! those persous liable to draft from leaving the United States, or their State or county, upon pain Of arrest; and in all such cascs the writ of habeas sorpus is suspended. The other one consigns all parties saying or doing anything to obstruct cnlist- ment to the nearest station house hy the hands of any United States officer, State officer or police- man. Our correspondence from Hilton Head, touching the new rebel ram Fingal, and the proceedings of the enemy in that quarter will be found highly inte- rating. THe new gunboat is fully armed and manned. She has been altcred from the British steamer of that name which ran the blockade into Savanna: lastfapring, and, it is said, is now quite a formidable engine of destruction. She carries two one hun- dred-pound rifle guns, six ten-inch columbiads, four fifty-pound rifle guns, and two twenty-four pounders for grape and canister. She is said to resemble the Merrimac in shape and form, with a massive heak at either end. Our troops are pre- paring to receive her, The plan of the rebels is said to be: first, to destroy our flect, and then to ‘move the Fingal aronnd to Seabrock and there cover the landing of their forces; they, meanwhile, are concentrating land forces at Bluffton. at Har- deesvilto and at Grahamsville. The rebci guerillas inthe West have inaugurated the course which might fairly be expected from ‘them, in the cowardly and cold blooded murder of General Robert McCook, of Ohio, while journeying sick in an ambalance near Salem, Ala.,to join his wrigade.

It was rumored that a nwaber of prominent se- ceasionista in that elty have beou shot by exaspe. i rated Unionists. It appears that the rebels contemplate an incur gion from Tennessee into Kentucky.

By telegraph from San Francisco we have re- ceived somo bfief particulars of the destruction of the@#ékm-ltip-Golden Gate, by*fire,-near Manza- nilta, on thiePacitc coast, on the afternoon of the 27th ult. The fire broke out while the passengers were @%dinner. The ship“vas immediately headed for the shore, distant three and a half miles; but before she was beached the upper decks fell in, and she afterwards burned to the water's edge: There were on board— Cabin passengers. =o cabin and steerage passengers.

The steamer St. Louis arrived at San Francisco on the 6th inst., with seventy eight passengers, all that are known to have been the rescued passengers may be found in another column. A portion of the crew remained at Mau- zanilla to look after the missing passengers. The Jura, from Liverpool 31st ult. and London. derry Ist inst., arrived off Cape Race yesterday, with five days’ later European news, of which we give a synopsis in anothercolumn.

Her nows has been anticipated by our reports by the Arabia, Archbishop Hughes has delivered some three or four powerful speeches in Ireland on the subject of popular education. the Union and independence of the United States, emigration from Ireland to America, and the interference of foreign Powers in our home troubles. Onthe latter points he said:—- No matter what may occur—no matter if foreign interference, whether naval or military, should desttey the great cities round the coast— no matter what shall occur, the question must end as I have described, that that people (the Ameri- can) shall remain. The weather yesterday was the most uncom- fortably hot, scorching and close we have had yet. The thermometer did not indicate a temperature quite so high as on some days daring the present season; but the heat was felt more, on account of the absence of a single breath of air stirring. The mercury stood as follows in the shade:— grees B degr a” « 92 89 street to protest against a proposition, as ad- vanced by the Hanaup, that the government shall draft substitutes, and that the money paid for sub- atitntes shal] be paid into the national treasury.

After months of he- sitation and uncertainty the period of decisive action has arrived. The President has at last indicated his authwrity and exerted bis full powers to sustain the constitution and restore the Union. In ow: War Gazette this morning will be found tw@ special orders from the War Department whidh will gladden the eyes of every pairiot. Tine first order directs all United States marshals nd chiefs or superintendents of local police t# arrest every person who shall speak or write anything calculated to discourage enlistments. The second order commands the leave the country or to escape from his own dratt. These orders are necessary and indis- | pensabie to the unity of the North for a vigor- ous prosecution of the war. They will be hailed with rejoicing by every loyal citizen. They are the death warrant of the rebellion. Ever since the rebels began this war by the arsanit upon Fert Sumter two dangerous and disaffected classes have labored to retard the success of the negional arms by dividing and thus paralyzing the North, The first of theve classes is the cor- rapt remnant of the old democracy, re- presented by such papers as the Albany Argus, and by such politicians as Vallan- digham, Wickliffe and Ben. Wood. The other class is the infernal, thirty-year-old abviitionists, of whora the Tribune, Evening Post, Commercial Advertiser, Independent and Liverctor are the organs, and Wendell Phillips, Cheever, Garrison and Beecher are the orators, Different as there two classes are, they have to be carrying stores for the rebels, also left NEW ¥ORK ‘HERALD, SATURDAY, AGBGUST 9, 1863. but returned. to Queenstown on the Slat, What | dent and discourage recruiting.

They are best of it, newspapers have published treason long enough. A few northern orators, in public and private, have spouted treason long enough: From this day forth the North must be a unit’ and force takes the place of moral suaston. The President bas set his foot down upon a plat- form to which no Union man can object, and every citizen must stand with him.

The government saw this, and the President was equal to the emergency He decided the negro question by confiscating the slaves of rebels on the one hand, and re- fusing to receive black regiments on the other. This done, he has issued these special orders, in which he gripes both secessionists and abo- litionists by the throat, and chokes them out of existence. We congratulate Secretary Stanton that his name is appended to such orders as these. He began the first stage of his career as Secretary of War by issuing a bulletin ‘against Malcom Ives, and he concluded that stage by resigning all experienced Gen. Halleck. He has begun the auspices, and now directs his energies not against an inoffensive man, but against the enemies of his country.

Under the impression that every kind of disease would be a bar to the draft, thou- sands of citizens have incurred the expense of medical certificates, which are of no more value to the parties than the paper on which they are written.

The retreat to the James river and the prolongation of the campaign have for the present, we fear, knocked in the head all these grand projects. From Napeleon Ullman down to Field Marshal, Grew, all the . opera- fle and theatrical people feel impreffed with the necessity of lending their aid to put down the rebellfon before embarking in fresh enterprises of thissoré. It will not do for Nero to be fiddling while Rome is burning.

Foreign artists have no idea that a war so stupendous as that we are disturbance of commercial and social interests as that occasioned by the rebellion. They will worked to.ether for a common object, just as the Northern anti-slavery men and Southern fire-ontera worked together for the dissolution of the Unien. The corrupt organs and repre- sentatives of the corrupt remnant of the demo. oracy have assailed the policy of the govern- ment iv the modes adopted to raise men and means for the war. The infernal journals and orators of the infernal abolitionists have as sailed the policy of the goverament in its treatment of the slavery question, its conduct of the war and its choice of generals in the fleld. We include both of these classes, there- fore, ia our indictment of those who have aided abellioa by trying to divide the North, accordingly not be over anxtous to insist on the fulfilment of engagements which were con- tracted when things looked more promising. Let us finish the war first, and then we will find full employment for all the foreign talent— theatrical or otherwise--that chooses to visit us. At the present we have only eyes and ears for the great drama in which we are engaged, and its accompanying musio, the fife and drum.

The first section of the law of Gongress, | passed on the léth of July last, provides as fol- lows:— ‘That whenever the President of the United States shal call forth the roilitja of the Btates, to be eraployed in the service of the United States, he may specify in his ox!! ‘we period-for which sueh service will be required, not exceeding nine monthe; and the militia #0 called shall be | mete it and continue te serve for and during the | term 80 specified, unless sooner dischargad by command of the President. if, by reason of defeets in existing laws, or in the execution of them in the eeyeral States, or avy of them, \t shall be found necessary to provide for enrolling the militia and otherwise putting this aot Into execution, the President ‘s authorized in such cages 10 make all ncesary rules and regulations; and the enrolment of tue militia in all cases incinde all able male citivens between the ages of sighioen and among the states ac- cording t© representative population From the foregoing it ie easy to see who are liable and who are exempt; but itis advisable for all who desire more particular information on the subject to purchase a copy of the State law.

Now we know, upon the very best authority, that the rebels have at least three hundred thousand troope- messed im and around Richmond. To say nothing of the statements of General McClellan, we know that General Halleck te- cently informed a gentlemen of this city that, im hie opinion, three hundred thousand was a low estimate of the real number of rebels at Bioh- mond. Of course the Tribune cannot and doce not attempt to eontute such official statements, but contents itself with insisting that they are untrue. Why it adopts this course is very evi- dent. Naturally the Tribune readers say, “Well, if the rebele have only a few men at Richmond, what is the use of our raising six hundred thoe- sand more troops?” Thue the public is educat- ed into indifference, and recruiting {s hin- dered, while the government is bitterly assailed for ordering an unnecessary draft. This just answers the purpose of the Tribune, however; for that infernal sheet has always labored for disunion, and now is the best Northern friend Jeff.
