We ire utile to ohroniole thli week, a more Important vlotory at Vicljsburg than was at firat supposed. The latest diipitch from Gen. Grant dated 8th, bring! the gratifyiog Intelligence that the nnmher of prisoners captured It 31. 277. They were, however, all paroled, In con sequence of there being no meant at hand of ' I -nding them North, 'fltey could not, either, be kept In garriion, became there wits moro important work fur our men than gnarding prisoner!. , Gen. Grant complimented the rob' el ivldiert on the gallantry of their defence of theworkt. Hit compliment certainly reflect glory on the perseverance, bravery and hero ism of our men, who overcame to many dim eoltiet. We alto have the cheering iiitelli " genoe from Vioktharg, that our oommandert are mailing tho rebels In the surrounding coun try to the wall. Immediately upon the turren- der of Vioktburg, Gen. Sherman marched out in the direction of Big Black, encountered Jo Johnston and defeated him, taking 2,000 pris oners. The' Federal forces are again in pos session of Jackson, Beteorant has driven Bragg back from Chat tanooga to Atlanta,. Georgia, and hat cap to red about 4,000 prisoner!. There it a report that Port Hudson surrendered to Banks, on the 7th. Not improbable, though confirmation ll needed. Our western generals are evidently wide awake. Tho rebel John Morgan It kicking np a great dutt and excitement in Southern Indiana, where 'tie it cavorting around with 7,000 cav alry and sixteen piccea of artillery. lie crosa d below Louisville, and proceeded to Cor) don, thence to Salem, and Lovelnud. At the be ginning of tlie invaeiou, be threatened a trip to Iudianupolii, but that la idle. 6 loco entering the Slate, he hue deitroyed several railroad de pots, one steamer, considerable amounts of sup plies, and captured several hundred prisoni-jj. The militia is hard after him, but being moun ted and in marching order, be will be more likely than otherwise to escape. At last ao oonote be was proceeding in southeasterly direction from ovcland, having crossed Ilia Big Miami at Vienna, and burned the bridge after him. The rebels, tinder Lee, have escaped aorou the Potomac. They crossed on pontoons, at Falling Waters, above Williamsport. The ad Taooe of our army, under Pleasantou. arrived at Williamsport immediately afterwards, and captured 2,0110 prisoners left there as rear guard. Le luooreded in getting away with II tho plunder captured iu Pennsylvania. It does not appear why be was not more closely followed. It is reasonable to presume that al ter suon a mo imcea oonuicl. our armv was not Bdition to render pursuit possible. Tha pursuit of a largo araiy, even just defeated but not demoralized, is quite as ditboult, anil some times mure dangerous, than to meet tbe sume force face to face. The rebels never feared Bigcl half so much as when he was retreating. The returnt of rebel losses In our hands foot np 10,000 killed and buried, 33,000 prisoners, and 12,000 stragglers a total of 57,000. If this showing is correct, Lee must have left B5"ro) than half his invading army on the north aide of the Potomac ' - A terrible riot broke out In New York, on the 12th, in eonseqoenoe of the attempt to en foroe the draft. Numerous conflicts between tbe polioe, assisted by the militia, and the riot era had taken phioe, and a good many lives lost. The mob was still uiiquelled on the eve ning of tha 15th. It had burned several hous es, aud committed numerous outrages of a Bend ish character. Two or three soldiers captured had been literally torn to pieces or beaten to death. Every negro found was beaten or kill ed. A portion of the TW6aa.Oflloe was gut ted, but before the Job was completed, the mob was driven away by au armed polioe force. Tbe Provost Marshal's orHoe was sacked, and the house burned.. Got. Seymour is in New York, and hat sent to Albany for all the militia available. Mayor Opdyke has delegated to him all necessary powers for quelling the riot, and Gen. Wool Is also taking active measures to tbe same end. Tba Provost Marshal received an orjer from Washington to suspend the draft. This riot it probably the culmination of tho plotting! of tha Ben Wood "peace" men. LATEST.

The tin thopt were ot once set to work making lamps for a torchlight procession t tho requisite funds for eipenset were subscribed very readily and tbe Union men entered heartily Into the busi netsnf duly celebrating th joyful news. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the procession was formed opposite Btarr't and Strang's tin stores. preceded by th Capital Brats Band and na tional lag. and marched np Commercial ttreet to the bridge where it wheeled and came down to the old gymnasium and halted. Here the 'Ugly Plugs" joined the procession with their 'tin horn band" and the "Buttermilk battery" and were greeted with prolonged shnnti of an plnuto. Ihe procession displayed about two hundred torches and several transparencies all that it was possible to get np on so short a notice. Among the inscriptions on the trans- pnranclet were, "Vicksburg and Gettytbng" Port Hudson and Richmond next"; "Our brave volunteers"! "Unconditional turren der" "Bully for Grant"; "The Union must be preserved" "We'll ttnnd by Undo Sam") "Bully for Meudo" i "J. Dnvlt dines in Wash ington in a C7 'eto., eto.

Tha prooetslno moved down to North Salem and then returned by High street to the Ave nue where a Inrge assemblage had already gathered around tho flag staff. Patriotio speeches were made Iroin the stand by Messrs. Untie, Pearne, Mallory, MoRuherts, Williams and Knigbt. The speakers were often inter rupted by the most hearty applause. At a lute hour the assemblage dispersed, each Union niRn In better temper with the war and higher hope of a successful issue, than have been in dulged in for a year. The relit present were not par lio n-lur ly pleased. Disunion Rkjdicinor At a recent meet ing iu New York, Wendell Phillips was intro duced as, ' 1 he man who bad done more to bring on this war than any man except John Drown." The railicnls who sympathized with John Drown honied themselves bourse with applauding this Introduction and the disunion Iniitor Phillips who tillered 111 J most aban dmied treason in Ihe course of his speech. lie arraigned tbe adiiiiiiixtriitinii on charges of tbe miiKt serious character, and abused it unmerci fully, and was applauded throughout. Thus it is shown that these radical fanatics do not core a straw for criticisms of the adiuinislrutiou.onlyl as the cr ticisins excuse and condemn their ilccply damnable designs ngnlnst the Union. They appluud a villub.ous speech of Wendell Phillips', against the Union, the President, ihe Cabinet, Congress, the generals nud the army ; hut if a man who wat alwayi for tha Union when they were against it. opens bis mouth to complain that the war lor the restoration of Ihe Union is needlessly procrastinated and in some respects prostituted lo base purpHset of parti, saniiin, they frantically denounce hi in as a con. ptrhtad.

Wo do not place much reliance upon the rumor in Friday' dis patch, to the effect that the rebel commission er! Stephen and Old were charged with a proposition for peace on the basil of Hunter's speech. We have no doubt that if the rebels gat once thoroughly convinced that recognition is out of the question, they will be very glad to fall back on Hunter's plan, which it substan tially, that the South shall have a separate po litical government with a general government for North and South, at to all commercial rela tiont, whether with each other or with foreign countries; to be presided over by a President of the United Confederacies. Thit it practically hut littlo different from total independi noe of the two sections, with treaties of comn ercial amity. The South would lie to all intents as distinct a people as aro those of Canada, and the Union, at proposed, would be Just no Union at all. There would be no guaranty In it that future secession from the "comtnericial" alliance would not occur nt J any time, and with a better showing ot rlglit than the present rebellion. Can it be possible that the cabinet emit at Washington hat ariten npon thit proposition t We do not see any other basis for peace tlis- cussioni or peace propositions In the cabinet at present. Con scription. The North is to be subjuirated and coerced Into tho army for the trifinf purpose of subjugating and coercing the South into tbe Union, r vault. The above hit of secesh pleasantry is from T'Vault's Intelligencer. It expresset T'Vault's valuation of the Union. It signifies hit horror of taking an eqnnl chance with hit neighbors of being obliged to take a murderout musket in lis hands lo thool at "southern brethren" and wayward listen." T'Vaolt is a peace lamb, at well at a stoic philosopher. He ii at indiffer ent to ordinnry "trifling" matters suoh as the agonies of national death as woi Nero while Rome horned. Nero fiddled j T'Vault turni op hit chivalrous nose and denominates the preservation of the Union a "trifle." What it not to Nero that the proudest city of the old world should crumble into ashes, so it I to T'Vault that the grandest of modern national governments should be rent into fragments and cast helplessly under the tramp of traitors and despots. C7 Tbo resolutions passed by the demo cratic State Convention of Pennsylvania, de clare the uniilteralilo determination of tho de mocracy of Peinmylratiia to never consent to any pe&cw involving a dismemberment ol the Union, mid they claim the right to disous and urge the adoption of such measure! as will be most likely to place and keep the whole Na tional Union together under one geueral gov ernment. Expedition in North Carolina. Gen. Foster telegraphed lo Halleck. on tho 7th, that he hnd sent an expedition to Wanaw which had destroyed two miles of railroad, burned all the culverts for five miles, and destroyed the armory at Kenansville, with a large quantity of small arms and commissary and quarter master's stores, captured a number of prisoners, 130 horses and frmn 200 to 300 contrabands. The expedition returned wilhont lost. Tall Shooting. The Lewiston Age snyt that nn tbe morning of the 4th, "at an early hour, old Sol't rays shot across the hills." From what we can gather from tho Agc.al wni all the thooling done at Lewiston ou (but day. Resumption op Specib Payments. 8v- eral of our city' hanks, desirous of avniling themselvi-a of the privileges guaranteed ill the National Bank Law, hav for tome time paid gold and silver for their circulation, hoping thus to draw it in : and now the tubject of paynft nt uf their dividends in specie is under discussion Ly the directors or the lianka, which, accord iii( to the Commercial Adcertiier, are large holder of government securities, on which they are receiving interest in gold, moro thiiu sullieieiit in the aggregate to meet the pay ment or their dividends. In the present as pect of financial affairs, it is of no advantage to the banks to add to their already large accu mulations nf the precious metals. It would be a public benefit to put in circulation that which would otherwise be hoarded in batik Vault, and a private benefit lo Ihe stockholders, from an increase on the returns nn their investments, which would he the probable resnltof the adop tion of thit line of policy.

For the last two yean the mail of Oregon and Washington Territory have been "going it" pretty much on their own hok. receiving no attention whatever from Iho agent of thit coast, as far at we can hear There it some disorder, and iu some respect! the routes and lime of carriage need looking af let and changing. The old agent, Watrona, evi dently thought Oregon too small a province of California to be worth his distinguished consider ation. Watrous went tearfully up the spool on a little Senatorial bull and Ihe presumption is that he drew the postal ogrocy up after him. If not, where it it and who is the agent ? It wat rumored that somebody wat appointed to wear hi cast off agenoy shoes, but, beyond that, Oregon has no knowledge of hit successor. The government was last year rvqneted to establish a separate agency for Oregon and ashtngtnn, but Ihe application went unheeded. The P. M. Geueral thonght he hsd already as many agents on hand as h could manage, and discouraged the proposition to add another itraw to hi camel's hack. So Oregon mailt go when and sometime where, chance may determine, and frequently become the prey of mail depre datura. It f not the fault altogether of post master or carrier they do at well aa they can under the Independent tystem upon which we have fallen. If there really is ao agent for this eo iet be it doublleet a Californiaa and it busying himself about the pickings of some cus tom boose, mint. State or congressional ehe- Ilea. When that kind of occupation erases to he intrrrftini-. he wilt douMlet uverhanl mail matter a far north aa Yreka and then g bmi again. Oregon will be obliged lo bis fur veo that much. tr M. S.

The enforcement by Victor Smith of tho order forbidding the ex portation of cattle, has created considerable excitement in the Northern country. Th British colonies have heretofore depended mainly on Washington Territory for their sup plies of beef, and the order, if strictly enforced will prove a serious embarrassment. The mat- ter baa been discussed by the Governors Washington Territory and British Columbia. and they have agreed to address an application to the authorities at Washington for a with- drawal of the order so fur a this coast is oon cerned. Tho Victoria Chronicle proposes to evade the order as follows : To evsdo the beef embargo, two avenni are open : 1 he nrst u to establish a slaughter house at rort Angeles, and ship dead animals to icto rla daily by tho steamer Caledonia : tho second and most feasible is to Innd live stock from th Sound on San Juan Island, whence they may be reshippod to tins port. San Juan Island being neutral territory, the Chronicle thinks tbo bitter plan will not he violation of the order.

The sanguine Union men are confident the war it nearly over, now thut Vickuburg is oun and the rebel army driven out of Pennsylvania. Tho conviotion would conic gladly to every loyal heart, but at present wo cannot tee any warrant for it. The lute victorici may ba the beginning of the end." but there it much to be done yet before tbe last tcene of the rebel lion shall be enacted. 1 f any great portion of r . from the Potomac, it will Ijen !" vw'l'v- th niideut of an army of defense for Rich he mond which will gather in from regions aban doned in consequence of the late victories The fall of Vioktburg will operate at no dtt: taut day to materially contract the boondariei itbin which the rebellion can or win uo sus tained. The troopt now wett ol ine aiissis- ni can icarcelv proceed in any practical co operation with those on the east tide, after the capture of Port Hudson which we look npon at a Question of time only. Ihey will, ii pot- sible, be withdrawn eastward to be nted in the uch reduoed area of the Confederacy. The rebel foroet in Mittitsippi, 'Iennetsee ana Louisiana, will either of their own motion fol low in the general concentration of troopt, or they will be foroed to do it. But yet all the lower Mississippi valley may continue to be in- fetled with roving and predatory bandt of guerrillas. While the rebellion holds out with any respectable ihow of resistance, it .cannot be expected that the excnnioni of luch bands can be altogether prevented. A great deal of tronble may be reasonably anticipated, in that ay, until the end comes much nearor than now. Tbe defent of Lee, whether he shall be fur ther orippled or not, will doubtless put an end to the idea of transferring the teat or war north of the Potomac. The rebels have learn ed by dearly bonght experience, the impracti cability of carrying on anything beyond a de fensive war. They announced bnastingly in the beginning of the war that, if defeated in the open field and driven from their intrencb ments, they would retreat to the mountain fait- nesies.and carry on a predatory guerrilla warfare at long at a man was left. They will proba bly fulfill their boast so far as to contract the boundaries of the territory they will attempt to defend, aa far at they find it Decenary. It may be possible that within a few months, the active rebellion will be thut dwarfed to three or four States or fraclioni of Statet. But thil hedging in process will only be forced by a prompt and vigorous prosecution of the recent advantages. Waiting where we are to tee how near dead tho rebellion is, wont accom plish it. Tho rebellion should be allowed no breathing spell. We have got it to whip, and the more rapidly and vigorously the blowt are applied, the sooner will the devilish thing 07 " enough." President Lincoln and the Ohio Com mittee.

A majority signing this, there will be a reversal nf the order in relation to Vullanilighatn. The President says : I do thil because he is not present to speak' for himself ; hence, 1 expect Mint nn hearing of it he would not put himself practically in antagonism with the position of his friends. The committee replied ai follows : However just the undersigned might regard the princi ples contained in the propositions submitted br tbe President, or how much soever they might, under other circumstances, feel inclined to elP dorse ihe sentiments contained therein, yet thuy assure him that they hare not been au thorized to enter into bargains or conditions with the President to procure the release of Vallandigham. Ihe opinions ol the under signed, touching questions involved in the prop ositions, are well known and sufficiently mani- tested In the resolutions of the convention which they represent ; and they cannot suppose that the President expects they will seek the discharge of Vallandigham by a pledge imply ine not only an imputation upon their own le curity and fidelity at citizens, hut also carrying wiiii n ny implication a concession ol toe legal ity of his arrest, trial aud banishment, against which iney and ine uonvsjntmn they represent have solemnly protested ; and while they havo asked a reversal of the order of banishment, it was not ns a favor, hut ai a right due to the people of OhiA. and with a view to avoid the responsibility of conflict or any disturbance of tue puotto tranquility, i Dey do not do this, nor aoei aiianuigtiam desire it, nt any eacri- uot ui tueir uignny or teii-retpect. t7" Tho California Contingent nnder Major Thompson, wai in the great fight at Gettysburg and lost thirty or forty of their number.

At an abolition meeting, convened nn party occa sion, such sentiments would have been properly enough expressed ; but at a Union meeting, composed, in part, of men to whom snch doc trine was odious and repulsive, it was out of place, in bad taste and in violation of good manners.
