General Lee's army has recrossed the Pótame

he defeated in Peaneylvaaia, and drizan out
of that átate. Oar own papers say that ha wo*

THEKEWYORK HIOT
The Northern files received last night eon tarns
intelligence of sufficient interest to demand all of
the available space in his journal. The gTeat riot
of Sew Y ark possesses a political and military sig-
aificance of tho highest and m ist absorbing vharac
tor. Immediately after the battle of Gettysburg,
the Washington Government issued an order for
the prcemptory draft o1 three hundred thousand
mea under the conscription act of the Federal Con-
gress. Hitherto this step has bee a only threatened,
but now the officers of the law actually made it.
The draft was made by lot at the police offices jfor
the different districts of Nsw York, and the uaaies
of the persons drawn for the army advertised the
Herald. The population the , for tho first time,
appear to kayo realizad th© "faot; and au org&ii?2-
ed riot of the most extensive and determined cha-
racter commenced.
•The police were attacked, in many placea routed
and tho Stations demolished. The Tribune office
was broken into, fired, and only paved by the mili-
tary. Many other houses were gutted and fired
Negr ea were in nil cases pursued with the most
aüguimtry intentions, and many killed. The mili'
¡ tary were called cut and bred on the mob. It dia-
; juried only to reaa.-cmh'a elsewhere. These ter-
rible .seenes continued up to the last date, but
now, n-> d ubt, appeased. For in the papers of the
15th. the statement appears, that Governor Sey-
uj or has announced, by tUe authority^ffom Wash-
ington. that the d ra Hon New Yor^ city is witli-
i :iwn, and the Common C.-'utiei>-"has appropriated
U. sum of money sutScieot to pu'rchaae the legal ex-
emption of the whole number of conscripta demand-
ed -i' New York.
So re si .it an co to ^há draft- has been succcísful.—

amy are now makiag almost superhuman efforts to
wreak their abolition veagoaaco upon that devoted
city. They have become ten-fold more r.a;psratc4
by the disappointment and defeats they have hi-
therto met ^ ith. The following articles irom the
Mercury and. Courier show that the people of Char-
