“THERE'S *3 SUCH WORD A* FAIL ” j
Vi hsburg the heroic, after a rigorous in j
vestment of forty fire days, ha* succumbed to ;
hunger.and 'utigue. and passed into the hands
of the cr.cmy. Johnston's little band of
braves is hard prosed by Grant's barbarian
horde —the conqu* rors, na they call themselves,
of Vicksburg. Charles tou, the proud city by
the sea. is beleaguered by the black, white
aud brown soldiers of the Union—God save
the mark. Bragg lias retreated to the line of
the Tennessee, and Lee has fallen back from
bis advanced position on the enemy’s soil. And
what of all that ? Why the Yankees are im
moderately elated, and God knows we ought
not to envy them their ephemeral enjoyment,
seeiug that they have been so long without
any success to rejoice at. And the Confed
erates, too, on the other hand, hare been suf
fering recently a temporary depression. But
with the elastic eni rgy of a new Republic our
people vr''l son. recover themselves, if indeed
they have no’ air. ~.ly done so, for with them
there can be, there must be, no such woid as
fail.
The Confederate soldiers and citizens know
the conseq tepees that would result from fail
ure, and therefore have determined that if fail
ure conic, it shall only be after they arc (lend,
and the whole laud a charnei house and a
waste, ’f hey fully appreciate the fate that
the enemy has in store if they should prove
strongest—confiscation of property, degrada
tion of the whole rnasi, equality with blacks,
a felon’s death at the rope’s end for the leaders,
and slavery for the remainder. With such a
prosp et in view, can it be wondered at that a
brave, free people is resolved to die rather than
submit?
And when we come to cou-ider the m .tter
carefully theic is no good reason why our peo
ple should be despondent, even for a time.
What if Vicksburg and Port Hudson are in
the enemy's possession ? That possession does
net give them control of the river for the pur
pose of trade, for aioug a thousand miles of its
banks a light battery of rilled pieces can at
any time stop peaceful trade and intercourse.
Can that be uu open river along which every
steamboat, ev'-ry flatboat every raft, loaded
with merchandise can only take its way under
convoy of u gnnboat, and even then not safe
ly ? Why every one sees at glance that, under
such conditions, the possession of the river and
the most important and strongest points along
its banks, cannot insure any sort of safety to
peaceful commercial craft, and that, therefore,
such possession is of no appreciable practical
advantage to the enemy, in a trade point of
view. The only control of the river that
would make it a safe and profitable highway
for Yankee traffic would consist in holding
not only the strong points along its course, but
in holuing and securely guarding every foot of
its shore, on both sides, from Cairo to the
Jializf, which is utterly and absolutely imprac
ticable. !
Then what have the Yankees gained, and
test, by the capture of Vicksburg und Port
Hudson ? They have cat the Confederacy in
twain, in a great measure, and almost clo.-eiJ
communication between the East and West !•?-
pirtments. But they had already effected
that, at least as fully as they have done by the
capture of these points, from the day that,
gunboats cume up past Port Hudson and
ran do*u by the Vicksburg butteries. Fori
more than a twelve month they have held all j
the river, except that contained between the
two poiuts. and when their gunboats occupied
that section they constituted a river patrol,
which prevented, though not effectually—nor
can possession of the strongholds enable them
to do it effectually—communication between
the east aud west banks. The only actual
advantage to the Abolitionists.'and conse-,
qnent injury to us, is in the moral effect. They.
are elated, and wedepressej, but we arc rapid
ly recovering from our depression, while their j
elation will probably huriy them into some j
speedy ToolbarJiness.und a resultant deb ut. The j
moral effect of tlies’ captures upon the gener- j
al public of E iropc, will also be injurious to j
us. But wh iJo we care for European opin
ions or conclusions about our success or Inj
ure ? Those nations have never yet aided us
in the slightest, not even morally, and i: we
have got along without them in the past, it is
equally probable we shall do as well without
them in the future.
Os course we should like to have the good
opiniou of outsiders while our struggle is pro
gressing, and the knowledge that Europeans
have faith in our ultimate success undoubted
ly has an inspiriting affect on us. But we can
manage to get along successfully without their
good opinion, an 1 wjth:ut the in-piration of
their opinion that we shall win success. And
then Europeans as we should all
know and feel here, that in a war of such mag
nitude and proportions we cannot expect to be
uniformly successful. Disasters must needs
*ome they do, and will come, to the best ar
mies the sun ever shone on, and engaged in
the holiest cause. They are necessary as a
trial of character, just as gold must be tried
by fire. The farmer rejoices and his heart is
made glad when the genial summer showers
give greenness and vigor to the growing corn;
but he learns by experience that all rain is
not good for corn, but that the scorching heat
of the sun, which wilts the blades and makes
the stalk droop, is absolutely requisite to pro
duce large ears and full com in the ears.
Away then with all despondency and de
pression. The curse is upon him that having
put his hand to the plow turns back—the
promise is only to him who perseveres to the
with all his might and strength. What (
[(though the sky is overcast—there is o silve r
| lining to the dark cloud. Up then and be
doing; cur wmk,is ahead of us. Let thepist
rest, and the dead bury their dead. We
have to do with the failure, aided by the ex
perience of the past. There have been faults
and errors committed—let them b* avoided
hereafter. We have had disasters—let us
push forward with more determination to re
trieve our loisee. We have had no actual dis
aster except Vicksburg aud Port Hudson,
and that more in the moral than material ef
fect, and the giving np of the country from
which Bragg has retreated. Johnston is not
yet defeated, nor Mississippi occupied, nor
Charleston reduced, nor has Gen. Lee evacuat
ed the enemy’s country or abandoned the idea
of invasion, and the final capture of Baltimore
and Washington. The most reliable corres
pondent with the army, P. W. A, says we
were not defeated, and Gen. Lee, in whom
there is no falsehood nor deception, writes the
President that all is well with him. lie has
not been entirely successful,*but he may yet
be. Fifteen months rgo our condition was
immeasurably worse than it is at present—fif
teen months hence it may be worse still ; bat
bravery and endurance will give us icdcpcu
i deuce some day, be it sooner or later.

The war ha 3 actually began around the
hearthstones of our foes. The telegraph
brings the news that in the great city of New
York, numbering a population of three-quar
ters of a million—just about three-fourths hat
of Georgia—the conscription is resisted, and
resisted by arms, and to the shedding of blood
—to the death. We have expected that this
would occur iu many localities in the North,
and we have counted certainly on its h ippen
ing in the city of New Yotk. We have not
been mistaken. Fernando Wood knew his
footing well before he declared uncondition
ally for peace, and in opposition to the con
stitutional authority of the Federal Govern
ment to coerce a State by arms, iu auy event.
From the accounts as yet received we can
make out only that the riot commenced on
Monday, the I.lth July, more than a week af
ter the captore of Vicksburg, and the report
ed defeat of Lee by Meade at Gettysburg, and
continued during that and the nest day, and
that at noon on Wednesday, the 15th—third
day of the outbreak—it was believed that the
worst was over, and that the rioters were
afraid of the trained soldiers from the saat of
war. It was not quelled at that l:me, but is
slowly progressing, and feebly, according to
the dispatch published by the Baltimore
American. Under the act of the Federal
Congress, there is a chief enrolling officer ap
pointed for each Congressional District, and
ifcc dispatches state that the rioters demolished
the offices of two of the enrollers in the city,
tLqscAr the ft.th and.9th districts. There arc
severarother districts m tne ‘env. out we have
!no account that anything was accomplished
or attempted in those districts. Perhaps the
officer! had not begun thedratt except in the
| two districts firs: mentioned. The rioters,
I not content with resisting what they believed,
• or were taught to consider, an unconstitutional
j luw, sought to be enforced for the unconstitu
tional purpose of waging war against sover
eign States, and with an end that could not,
I and ought not, be accomplished, the subjuga
tion of the South, proceeded to give vent to
their passions on the property of their neigh*
hors, and thus to array law and order and
property against themselves. So difficult is it
to restrain or control the headlong impulses of
a mas; of men once aroused and set to burn
: and destroy. Two whole blocks on third ave
! nuc, the accounts say. were demolished, houses
■ were gutted, policemen, soldiers aud rioters
| killed and wounded, and an attack made on
• the Tribune office was i t pul ed by the police,
j Greely himself, tho arch ogitutor, dining at I
j Windent's, on Park llrvv, having escaped the
fury of those who sought his blood. At last
1 accounts the rio: was still progressing, a reign
I ol terror prevailed, families were abandoning
j their homes and flying from the city, the iJov
| eruor of the State had telegraphed the Provi
dent to stop the draft for a time, and hud then
declared the city and county in a state of iu
surrection, subjecting them thereby to the
forces of the United States, including militia,
volunteers and regular array, and troops from
the battlefield—we suppose from Meade's ar
my, or from Scheuck’s command—were arriv
ing in the city.
This is the substance of all wo cleariy make
out, up to noon of Wednesday, the third day
of the riot, when it dearly was not quelied, but
when the opiniou was that the worst had pass
ed. We gather from the outbreak this much
as a fact—that at least a portion of the per
sons liable to draft in New York city were
determined to resist it to the bitter end, even
when the arinie3 of the Union had just achiev
ed some successes, over which the majority of
the nation, protoundly thankful for the small
est favors, were exceedingly jubilant, and bois
terously so. Occurring under such circum
stances and at such a time, we can but regard
the outbreak as conclusive evidence that a
very considerable population in New York
are, regardless of Vicksburg’s fall and Meade's
j trumped-up victory, opposed to the death to
conscription, and of course to the further
prosecution of the war. But at the same
time we think—not knowing, however, the
real strength of the movement—that the'out
break was most inopportune as to time, and
very ill conducted. Lincoln and his adminis
tration know perfectly well that, notwith
standing the Abolition successes of the past
few weeks, the rebellion is not conquered, cor
nearly so. They are aware that to continue
the war they must have large reinforcements,
and that these can only be raised by coftscrip
tio*. a policy odious to his people, and which
he has feared attempting to enforce. But un
der the impulse and ths auspices of recently
acquired victories, they know that the con
scription might be enforced, if ever enforced
at all, and that if they neglected their oppor
tunity it would not occur again. Hence, im
mediately on the announcement of the capitu
lation of Yicksbnrg, Lincoln and the admin
istration called for three hundred thousand
conscripts, aud proceeded to enforce the draft.
It was both the best time they could have se
lected, and the time also, although not admit-
ted. when they most needed recruits. The
Federal array has been vastly reduced recently
by the casualties ol battle, by disease, by de
sertion, and by the expiration cf ’he term of
enlistment of thousands of its hirelings, it
must have men, or stop the war. and no time
so opportune for the enforcement of the draft
as the present, when victories have been gained,
as J when it is made to appear to the North
ern masses that final and complete success is
just ahead.
Therefore, Lincoln, with saeacity and zeal,
undertook the experiment which he has great
ly dreaded, and which he never would have
dared to venture on had Me de bees well
whipped. It is the be3t time for him to en
force the draft that could possibly have oc
curred, and the worst time for the people to
resist. A3 Lee's army is withdrawn from Ma
ryland, and no longer threatens Washington
and Baltimore, Meade, not being in any humor
for an advance on Richmond, nor prepared for
it, can spare a portion of his trained hirelings
for the purpose of enforcing the draft, and to
qnell all opposition thereto. Doubtless many
of his soldiers, heartily tired of the war, dislike
to force their brethren into the service, bnt
they must obey orders; and thousands of
them, being themselves in, will take a delight
in forcing those who have remained at home
in ease and comfort to take the field which
they would gladly lea Te. We conclude, there
fore, that it would be extremely nuwise in the
Confederates to make any onr
advantage, based upon the recent emeute in
New York. The public mind of the North
is inclined at present, on account of the pros
pect, as they regard it, to submit to draft;
the soldiers are inclined to enforce it, and
many of th :u can now be spared for that pur
pose. The New Yoik riemtnstration is lasting
evidence of determined opposition to con
scription, even ander the e-Xat of victory, but
it may not be wide spread, and it certainly is
so timed that the Administration has decided
ly the advantage.
The above nrticle was prepared for oar pa
per on yesterday, bnt owing to a pressure of
- n v ■ Wir*-f -i 1 -mifttett. WTt^W l • :
the North indicate that the mob has been
qnelled, and that the resistance to the draft
was only spasmodic. If the populace once
yield to the intimidation of bayonets, the hope
of their successful rests ance is at an end, and
Lincoln will drag them at will to Cl! up his
exhausted armies. It is true t tat a few hun
dred turbulent spirits made Paris howl wit-1
mob violence fora week, defying Dearly ftO.OOO
soldiery at the command of the authorities ;
but the New York rabble are not Parisians
and if they were, now as then, they must fi
nally yield to organic d military authority.
Let us not hope too much from Northern
mobs; but rather, while Lincoln is fordiug his
hordes in'o the array at the point of the bayo
net, let oir whole orn»-b?aring population be
marshaled to meet them with eich a welcome
that neither threats nor bayonets or other com
pulsion can induce them longer to attempt to
occupy our soil.

On Sunday morning the enemy sent in a flag

supposed that the cbief object of this request on
the part of tbe Yankee commander was u> gain
an opportunity to reconnoitre our position, tbe
proposition was declined, and the duty of burying
the dead devolved upou our own men, and cn
Sunday no firing occured.
The numoer of bodies buried previout to the
renewal of the cannonade yesterday was eight
hundred—SOJ by our men, and 2»0 and odd be
yond our lines by the enemy, including thoss
still unburied, and the wounded who have since
died, tbe enemy’s loss in killed alone must have
been nearly or quite one thousand. The number
of prisoners taken by our troops (including
wounded) was 376. Judging from these figures,
and remembering tbe welt known habit which
tbe Yankees have of carrying off their wounded,
it seems quite reasonable to believe that their
total loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners could
not have been less than two thousand.

C' ma] ind, goes forth to rejoice the eye ana g'ad-
Oea the heart of all who feel a deep interest ia
the late of the little city by the sea. To attempt a
recapitulation of the details of this signal repulse
of our Vandal foe already described at length by
the fl wtng pen of the "Pioneer of Correspon
dents” would be an idle presumption.
Accustomed as we have been in Charleston for
the past ten days to loud reports of the booming
guns belching forth their ponderous shot and
mard»rous shell, the silence tosdar seems omin
ous, as the inli that follows or precedes a storm.
The sweeping tornado has swept past, the murky
clouds have dispersed for awhile, the forked
llghtniug no longer spreads its lurid glare over
the blackened sky, but when will the storm burst
forth again, when will the tnunder roll once more
to warn us of the approaching tempest.
Although the gallant repu!>e of twelve regi
ments of Vanin.* by our noble hand of veterans
must be a scarce of self-gratulation, and a har
binger of hope for the falure. there is yet au»
other much more substantial cause for rejoicing.
The bouioardmeot on Saturday, tvliicn lasted
true morning till night, was as ierr he, as inces
sant, as fierce as it is possible tor use to con
ceive. The thunder fSi.-.. guns—the hoi i-ig
i.f the tbelia, »t ch burst d in myriads in aou
it'i.uai Bittery Wagner, led us to suppose that
tin: slighter mustbe immense; aud ’bos* least
p one to give way to despoudent feelings 1 itk.d
an with blanched checks, but c mpretsed lips
anti toured the worst—lor to these who wi’.uesied
the bombardment, Irom ’he house; and ete.pie?.
auJ the rufii.us points of obacivation, it seem-.d
impossible for any w rk put up ot mortal man
to s'and each a terrible and concpntrjted 6re, and
pars unscathed through tueh an ordeal. But God
be pi atsed, it did do so. Four men killed and
f. urteen wounded, and the baterv uninjured, was
the result ot the bomburument, us severe as they
can possibly subject the battery to at any time!
But in tbe hour of victory—in the day of re
joicing, with spirits lightened and hopes elated
aot without just cause, we must beware of ex»
trernes, and must take care that our feelings do
not betray our reason. Charleston may yet be
saved; but the dknver i 3 by no means over jet—
the enemy foiled, repulsed,’ beateu back, though
he has been, :s still clamoring at our gates—ue
still retains a foothold ou Morris island, whence,
protec ed as he ts by his gunboats, it is almost
impossible to dislodge him. He has come here
determined to lake Charleston, if possible, he
has come (as a Yankee officer, recently taken
prisoner, observed,) *• expecting to meet with a
desperate resistance, expecting to have to tight as
they have never fought yet. expecting to have to
seff=r hardships, yet determined to endure all,
and to capture Charleston it it is possible to do
so.” Is it reasonable to suppose that he will be
contented after a few repulses to abandon tbe
game he has so set his whole heart on winning,
to retire from a position so threatening to us, as
long as he retains it as a base for future opera*
tioas? It is foolish to suppose so for an instant.
Charleston may be saved, must be saved, will be
saved ; but much work ts still before us—more
blood must be spilt—more lives most be lost
more battles "fought and won,” e’er the "clouds
that lower npon our house” shall be scattered and
dispelled by the welcome rays of the returning
BUD.
The master mind of Beauregard is at work, and
every man, woman and child la Charleston has
lull confidence in him. To give yon an idea of
the spirit of the people here, I will relate an in*
cident which came under my personal observes
tion. During the bombardment the other day,
a young lady, on going home, met her little sta
ler, aged 10 years, and the following dialogue
ensued: "Well, Cordy, so Charleston has stsrrens
dered to the Yankees.” The little girl turned
deathly pale—her little lip quivered tremulously
—her eyes filled with tears. “Sister,” said she,
in broken accents, “is this true.” “Yes, Cordy,
