“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. resist i>ce to cox««:rii*tio.\ at ihe >0(1111. 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.

A mortar fire was kept np on Battery Wagner every few minutes doting toe night trom tbe bata tery near Grabam’s house. On Sunday morning the enemy sent in a flag oi truce to aek permission to bury their dead, whore bodies lay thickly strewn in the trench and elsewhere in Iroat of our works. As it was 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.

About ! o’clock on Saturday the halyard of the garrison flag was cut, and tbe flag fell, when pri vate John Flynn stuck up a battle flag on the rampart in the midst of the bursting shells of the bombardment, and with Sergeant Stilton, tied np the garrison flag to tbe staff. The battle flag was shot down, and was reinstated by private Gilliland, These men belong to Captain. Lord's company, cf the Charleston Bairn! on.

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, and father and mother have made up their minde to remain here-oj tits tta oathjT^^^B bnt leaves « to each or os to d li ettier H U, the o»ii, and ; SBla , n PV to go tip to at once.” ' “Stster, what do you atend to dor- I litre nw made up or mirH n a what will you do?’’ • Cordji “Sister, I don’t Uke to leave . er, ’ and here the tears burst forth as, *?'
