WAS THERE A RIOT IN BROOKLYN THE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST. nwldp 1 Topics of the Day. There is but little war news. The operations against Charleston are progressing. A change has come over the spirit of the Department of the South since General Hunter's retirement Wc hear no more of negro schools, negro colonies, and we have no speeches from General Gilmore to the piccaninnies.

Gen. Gilmore does not believe that the end is to be reached in this way. Batteries have been erected under cover of our gunboats within 250 yards of Fort Wagner. Heavy siege guns are mounted on Morris Island, within a mile of Fort Sumter, near enough to operate against it. On Wednesday last fire was to be opened on both Sumter and Wagner, and of the result intelligence is hourly expected.

The THlmne's correspondent announces the ar. rival of 180 men to reinforce a Pennsylvania regiment belonging to the army of the Potomac. These are the first men raised under the con scrip law. They can hardly be called conscripts, however, as they are all substitutes for men who were drafted, but who did not see fit to go. Mr.

Lincoln's little speech on receiving the congratulations of the people of the capital on our recent victories, has seenred the attention of the foreign papers. Mr. Lincoln commenced by telling his audience that the rebels had "turned tail," and wound up with "now I'll take the music." The speeches made by Mr. Lincoln's Secretaries were about equally chaste in language and elevated in spirit. Commenting upon these speeches, the London Times says "The cabinet of "Washington are not equal to their task.

Every crisis of affairs seems to elicit additional proofs that they are in every respect unfit to deal with the events passing around them. The gleam of suecuss 'hut bas fallen on the federal arms in the surrender of Vicksburg and the incidents of the second Maryland ampaign, hare exhibited the President and his chief ministers in aruanner almost pitiable. 'With their country torn asunder, and its soil reeking with blood, they ouly find a voice to make poor and flippant election speeches. Mr. Seward crowned the wretched display by something that we record but will not here repeat, for it was simply blasphemous.

That men in such positions could so express themselves at such a time is a deplorable illustration of the degeneracy of American rulern." Otjk cavalbt has had engagement with the cavalry of the enemy at Kelly's Ford, which end Local Politics A Change of Programme. To Vie Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The programme has boen changed. The englaeers who run the "machine" for the so called Eegular Organization had foolishly consoled themselves with the idea, that the political elements had as3umed a calmness aud serenity that no powor could disturb. Alas, their dreams of peace and harmony have proved wretched delusion. The leaders of tho national wing of the party will come forward and peremptorily demand an equal share in the distribution of the several offices to be voted for this fall.

They contend that if tho Regulars claim the Mayoralty, that they, the Nationals, arc entitled to the office of Street Commissioner. This has not failed to create quite a sensation among the several candidates belonging to the regular side of the House. The Nationals claim the following as a fair and just apportionment: The Eegulars to take the Mayoralty, County Judge, one Superintendent of the Poor, one ustiee or the Peace, and one Senator. The Nationals to lake the Street Commissioner, Shoriff, one Supe in tendent of the Poor, one Justice of the Peace, and one Senator, and each organization to he entitled to three Assemblymen, the remaining district to be drawn, for by lot. It Is evident that the Nationals will not listen to any other programme, and It.

rests entirely with the Regular organization to say whether the Democracy shall have but one ticket in the Held or nol; suffice it to say that there is no doubt that if two tickets were in the field that the Nationals would poll two votes for the so called Regulars one, and in view of the weakness of the latter organization it is the duty or the leaders to accede to any JuBt demands, in order to disguise that fact as much as possible, as likewi. to ensure an overwhelming victory for the while ticket. Admitting then for the sake of argument that these terms of compromise have been azreod upon let us take a Brief survey of the prospects. First then as regards the Mayoralty. The Regulars have several prominent and influential citizens to choose from viz.

Dr. J. Sullivan Thome, Benjamin Prince, James n. Brundae, and C. J.

Sprague. Mr. Eeajamin Prince seems to be the iavorite with the leaders up to the present time, although it Is a well known fact that if he is nomiaated Martin Kalbfleisch will be a candidate against him. Tour correspondent would npt be surprised, however, if the Regulars nominated Benjamin Prince, notwithstanding vhia objection, as it is evident now, as heretofore, that the policy or that organization is either to rule" or 'ruin." The resignation of Martin Kalbfleisch, as a member of Congress, would give the publican opportunity of Bendiog that well known Democrat and Bterlln citizen, Hon Henry C. Murphy to Washington.

The next office that demands our attentien is that of Street Commissioner. The Nationals have in the fleld but two candidates, who are also very popular with the other wing of the party viz. Alderman O'Keeffe, President of the Eoord of Aldermen, and Michael Welsh, an ex i0t.h WRrd' but now holding the position of Clerk in the Police Court. Alderman O'Keeffe, uo to ihe present tune has the inside track, and when we take into consideration, that the 12th Ward although strongly democratic has never, been tendered a city or county office, we must admit that the voters of that Ward we entitled to a nomination for their past services. It is strongly urged that Mr.

Welsh would not prove au available candidate from tbe fact that three years ago he received a nomination for Justice of the Peace from both wings of the Democratic party and then was badly defeated. Alderman O'Keeffe strongly identified himself with the Nationals as long back as when Hu h. McLaughlin and John McNamee were rival candidate.) can be proved by the record of the 12th Ward, which rolled up for McNamee almost two voles for McLaughlin's one. The nest position to be disposed of is that orSheriff, which is conceded to the Nationals. Tour correspondent is or tbe opinion that even if it belonged to the so called Regular orcanization, they would unanimously nominate John Maonamee, although he has always been identified with the other wing.

The County Judgeship next invites our attention, this position falling to the Regulars, we may notice of their candidates the two most prominent Mr. James Troy, Asst. Dist. Attorney, aud George Thompson, Esq. of the Eastern District.

Mr. Troy not only has the inside track but is three lengths ahead, anil from present appearances looks as if he would be able to maintain it. Mr. Thompson should learn that on the political read the distance to travel over is very great from the starting point to the terminus. As regards the two Superinteudentents of the Poor, Mr.

Jumes Boyle, of the 9th Ward, is the leading candidate with tho Regulars, while a spirited contest is going on between Wm. Powers of the 20th Ward, and Mr. James Edwards of the 9ih, on the side of the Nationals. 1 rom what I can gletn, Mr. Powers is ahead.

The next offices to be disposed of is that of the three Justices of the Peace. Tbe Nationals claim ibo Sd, and present only, one name for the position, Chas. B. Wylie, i.rq. The 4th district, on the side of the Regulars, will be contested by John II.

Colahan, W. A. Brown, Andrew J. Provost, and ex AM. Smith.

The 5th district by cx Postmaster Tnos. Goodwin, Dennis plannery, Stenhon Ryder, and Arthur Eassett. The Second nomination will lie tendered to the Hon. James Darcey by tbe Nationals. The Third Senatorial nomination will bo tendered to Hon.

Henry C. Murphy, provided he Is not a candidate for Congress if, however, there should be a member of Congress to elect in the place of Martin Kalbfleisch, then we can name as aspirants for the senatorial honor Hon. John Paulding, of Flatbush, and Hon. Bernard HuThej, or the SecondAssembly district. It fas understood that the five county towns will demand this nomination provided Hon.

Henry C. Murphy Is not a candidate. Having, Mr. Editor, presented the programme ct tho leading wire pullers lo your many readers, 1 trust you will luvor them with your views regarding this change. H.

TVe referred in the Eagle a few days ago to the mischievous effects of circulating rumors that there were organizations in this city to resist the authorities and create a riot. Oue of the results we predicted has been realized. The owners of the property recently destroyed at the Atlantic Docks have presented claims ngainst the city for indemnity for their losses. The fire occurred on the night of Wednesday the 15th of July, the third and last day of the riots in New York. Two grain elevators, a boat, the pier, a quantity of machinery, grain, were destroyed.

The fire was a deliberate act of incendiarism, hut there is no evidence whatever to substantiate the assertion thnt there was a riot. The city is not responsible for damage done by incendiaries, whether the fire he the work of one man or fifty. Had there heenno riot in the city of New Terk, no one would have dreamt of making the assertion that this act constituted a riot. There was no disorderly gathering, no defiance of the authorities no act whatever that comes under the designation of riotous proceedings, and there is no reason why the city Bhou.d be called upon to pay in the neighborhood of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to save the insurance companies. If these claims are sustained then the city may hereafter be compelled to make good all the losses by incendiarism when it can be shown that three persons were in the vicinity when the act was committed.

Three persons can mnke a riot, but it does not folio that every unlawful act in which three persons may participate is a riot. There must he a "tumultous dibturbance of the peace," a disorderly demonstration to make their proceedings come under the legal definition of the term riot. The city authorities will of course refuse to entertain these claims and defend the city in any legal action which may be brought by the claimants. "We append a copy of the claims which were filed in the Comptroller's office this morning. SMITH FANCHEB AND CIAD4.

Those who have felt disposed to complain of the great prevalence of rain storms ecently, and wish for tome warm weather, without an accompaniment of thunder, lightning and rain, had their wishes gratified to the fullest extent yesterday, which was by four hot degrees the hottest day we have had during the present season, The mercury at eleven o'clock was as high as S3 degree Farhenheit in the shade, und between three and four o'clock it had reached i2 decrees, In the suburbs there was a slight relief from a gentle breeze from the water, but iu the city there was no relief from the sweltering, sweat provoking heat, which made the faces of pedestrians glow like furnaces and caused an immense de fetructien of the purity of mid cambric handkerchiefs. Everybody who had a dime to Ri tind nothing el; to do, hastened to get out of the city and the sweltering heat, and all day loijg the various lines of railroad ears were crowded by paterfuinilie and m. tterfitruilie and their hosts of uncomfortable little ones, sweating and squalling, fitting on some kind friend's knees, or standing on swells' patent leather toes; but nil these liltle drawl neks arc borne patiently in view of the, prospect of a few hours lo breathe the fresh ecu air at Coney Island or Fort Hamilton, to ramble for a few hours among the plen eant and shady btreets of the "city of the dc.td," and read the thousands of loving records written there on the monumeutal marble, or to rumble nmong the fields at Flushing, East New York, Bedford, Jamaica and the hundred and one other cheap and accessible retreats in the suburbs of Brooklyn.

PROMINENT MISSISSIPPIANS' FAVORABLE TO A EECONSTETJCTIOK OF THE TXUIOS. PEMBERTON'S MEN RETURNING HOME THE BLACK REGIMENTS, What Ceneral Grant Advises the Negroes to Do, Vicksbuko, July 2 Later accounts from Gen. Sherman bring the information of his having pursued Johnston far beyond Jackson. The latter took up his line of march immediately on hearing of the fall of this jlace. Bis retreat was too precipitate for Gen.

Sherman to do much more than threaten his ear guard. Johnston was compelled, however, leave a vast amount of private property and rubsistence behind, that would certainly have been taken with him, or destroyed, had his danger been less imminent. He attempted no de ence of Jackson, but, on our approach, fired the city in many places and manifested the utmost dcf lre to leave ns nothing but a smouldering heap of luius. On our former occupation of the place, pains were taken to leaveall private and much of he public property of the place uninjured. No buildings were allowed to be burned that did not contain Confederate stores, or were in some way in the use and occupation of the Confederate government.

Many of these even escaped. But, on Gen. Johnston setting the example of malicious destruction, Gen. Sherman felt absolved from farther obligations in that direction, and finished the work ohnston began. Precisely how much or rather how little of the city is lelt to mark its former site, I am unable to say.

From account received here, the city exists only in the memory, tradition, and history of the Dast. Its deserts may have been overwhelming." Its fate has been sudden and total destruction. Tbe head of Geu. Sherman's column reached Big Black River on the return, two days ago, and the entire corps will probably remain there for the present. Gen, Sherman reports to Gen.

Grant that the people are the worst whipped and subdued of any on tbe face of the earth. They are humbled, and beg for mercy ou every hand. They acknowledge themselves thoroughly conquered, admit their inability to longer successfully oppose the federal government, expreso their willingness to come into the Union aain on any terms, and beg of him in the name of everything sacred to oppress them no farther. Judge Starkie, Mr. Miller, Mr.

Poindexter, and other prominent men of the State came forward and proposed organizing a State government favorable to a reconstruction of the Union on the oesi ooiainoute atl ttie tnnuencea they possess against tbe rebellion and iu favor of the federal government. The country between here and Jaekson is completely devastated. No subsistence of any kind remains. Every growing crop was destroyed, when possible. Wheat was burned in the barn staeb wherever found.

All subsistence was brought off or deit royed. Live stock was used or brought away everywhere. Gen. 8herman aa scrts that the people must inevitably leave, be fed by the Federal government, or starve. Thousands are applying for food to sustain life, and such heartrending and terrible destitution never existed on this continent as in the region indicated.

He bas established a temporary system of relief, and Issues army rations to the most needy. Geu. Johnston's whole army has been subsisting almost exclusively on green corn for several weeks past, and half his troops were probably unfit for duly. We came upon them sick at almost every house, and found them languishing or dead in almost every fence corner The utter impossibility of supplying his men may have prevented his gathering an army sufficient to fallon Gen. Grant's rear at Vicksburg before reinforcements arrived from the north.

As Jt is, Johnston is by this time far from here, if not without his department, and no attack is possible from the forces under his command for mouths to come. IfVicksburg were defended by but ten thousand men, I doubt Johnston's ability to take it before Christmas. While Gen.Sherman was pushing towards Jaekson, Gen. Herron, was sent up the Yazoo (almojt at tin hour's notice), with orders to cross the country towards Cuuton, and, by threatening Johnton's flank and the northern portion of the State, compel withdrawal of such cavalry aud other forces as were trying 'to interrupt the na gation of the Mississippi between here and Helena. He occupied considerable property, captured mote, and returned.

Though accomplishing but little to outward appearances it was considered a dashing, daring expedition' brilliantly executed, for he'started almost wholly without baggage or rations and marched over ISO mile6.

It is not likely the War Department will establish trade contrary to Ins advice.

To do so would be not onlv improper, but criminally wrong. Emancipation is beginning to plague the inventors." Black brigades are failures whatever may be written to the contrary.

Burnside's order proclaiming mar tial law In Kentucky, on the eve of an election, will create alarm not alone in Kentucky, but throughout the loyal States.

The order Is issued under the pretence that Kentucky is in imminent danger of invasion. were led to believe from our recent success In the west that Kentnc. Icy was not at any time since the war broke out a eafe from invasion as she is to day. Judging from tho data in possession of the public, it is impossible to believe tha. there is any necessity for the extreme measure of declaring martial law throughout an entire State.

Gen. Bnrnside declares tho State of Kentucky to be invaded by a rebel force with the intention of forcing upon the people disloyal candidates. There is no evidence that there are any disloyal candidates before the people, in Kentucky, unless we accept as the standard of loyalty that which is set up by the party which finds eo supple an instrument in General Burneide. If hereafter that standard is to be accepted, and those" who do not come up to it are to be disfranchised, then we hare seen the last popular election in these States. General Burnside's department includes besides the State of States olOhio, Illinois and Indiana.

If he has it within his to declare martial law in one of these States, he can do the same in all of them. What security have the people of Ohio that they will have free choice in selecting State officers next October According to the administration standard of loyalty the nominee of the Democratic party for Governor of Ohio is a disloyal man, and those who sustain him are a priori disloyal. If the administration test of loyalty is to be accept result in Ohio is decided without any ac tion pa the part of the people of that State. The adherents of the party in power declare that only those who support its policy unconditionally, are loyal; if the Generals at tha head of our armies are able to enforce this test, then an election in any State of the Union can result enly in reechoing the voice of the administration. Had the policy attempted in Kentucky been enforced in this Slate, the will of the majority of its people would have been set at If the administration has any confidence in either itself or its policy, it can have nothing to fear from the people.

If there be any intention on the part of the men at present in power to disfranchise the majority of the people and set their will at defiance, then the sooner we throw by the forms of a popular government the better. The candidate for Governor of Kentucky is Mr. Wicknffe. He represented his State in Congrcsf at the commencement of the rebellion. He was then, and is now, a zealous lover of the old Union.

He was a Unionist in Kentucky when it cost something to be a Unionist. He was loudly praised by the organs of the administration two $ears ago. As soon as Mr. WicklirTe believed the administration departed from what was declared to be the6ettlcd policy of the war, he opposed its policy, as did Mr. Crittenden and other conservative men, whose loyalty no man should dare to question.

If opposition to the policy of the administration constitutes disloyalty then Mr. Wickliffe is disloyal and his disloyalty is shared in by majority of the people, not only of the State of Kentucky, but of the people of all the ths loyal 8tates. That Mr. Wickliffe heartily desires the restoration of the old Union, that he fctands by the Constitution ot his country in letter and 6pirit, cannot be questioned. In Congress he acted with the minority in using all the means at the disposal of Congress to compel adherence to the Constitution.

Great powers are given to Congress to cheek the executive branch of the Government, and Mr. Wicklifle favored tho exercises of these powers, to frustrate a policy which he belived would result injuriously to his country. New Tork and every other State has a direct and immediate interest in the question which General Buruside forces upon the country. The complexion of the next House of Representatives depends upon the result of the election in Kentucky. If unfair means are used in choosing representatives in Kentucky, not only are the people of Kentucky silenced, but the purpose of the people of New York is frustrated.

The people of the loyal States will watch with a jealous eye this day's doings in Kentucky. If the Administration puts its policy into effect if it assumes the strong arm of military power to impofe the penalty of disloyalty upon those who cannot support its policy, then there will be a question presented to the American ieople in view of tho magnitude of which even the great rebellion will shrink ino comparative iiis'iLjnili cance. KoiiTii Cakolina and thk Confederacy. The speck of trouble in North Carolina seems to have expanded into quite au ominous cloud over the now darkened horizon of the Confederacy. the Str.tidard, the leading paper of Raleigh, the capital, openly denounces Jeff.

The following extract from a letter re received by Gov. Parker from the President, explains the iDtcution of the government in suspending, for thirty di.ys, the enforcement of the draft in New Jersey "K.v"T?!rtecryoa wj pr6Mrt within thirty ulMate' flt and ready to nu lbB araft That quota I IteMvThS huodrjd and ZvS.SrZ, ('H83' bo before an additional 'I 8lau. required; a Way ijdrj, that if we get well through me proem draft I entertain a atrong hope that any further om i never needed. of Lope bowovor ma? uot be construed iuto a promise." tr' mu81 aul Last. The hero of Vienna Gen Bchonck, has added another leaf to Ms laurels' capturing entire a funeral procession iu Baltimore.

The body of a rebel officer, a resident of Baltimore, who fell at Gettysburg, was brought to that city and his frieuds were on the way to the cemetery to inter it, when they were arrested and sent to priion. If Sehenck remains much longer in Baltimore, Gen. Butler will have to look to his laurels. Tnu Pbesidbnt has issued an order statin that if the rebel authorities will not consent to treat negro soldiers taken prisoners upon the Fame terms a white soldiers, he will retaliate upon the rebel troops in our hand. ed in considerable loss on both sides without any decided advantage on either, except that our side succeeded in ascertaining that Lee's whole army was at Culpeper.

Fredericksburg has not been taken possession of by either side, it would appear. Mb. Thomas D'Arcv McGee is addressing the people of Canada, with the purpose of preparing them to accept a monarchial system of government, of which system McGee has constituted himself the champion. From one of bis recent addresses on this subject the following extract is taken: I endeavored to contemplate it in the light of a future, possible, probable, and 1 hope to be able to live to say, positive, Britieh American nationality. For I repeat in the terms of the question asked at flrst what do we need to construct such a nationality? Terriloral resources by sea and land, civil and religious freedom those we have.

Four millions we already are four millions culled from the races that for a thousand years have led the van of Christendom. When the sceptre of Chrii tian civilization trembled in the enervate grasp of ihe luxurious Greeks of the lower empire, then the Western tribes of Europe, flery, hirsute, clamorous, but kindly snatched at the falling prize, and placed themselves at the head of human affairs. We are the children of those fire tried kingdom founders, of these Ocean disrovcrcrs of western Eurspe. Anilize our aggregate population; we have more Saxons than Alfred had when he founded the English state; we have more Celts than Brien had when he put his heel on the neck of Odin; wc have more Normans than William had, when be marshaled his invading hosts along the strand of Falaise. We have the laws of St.

Edward and St. Louis; Magna Charta, and the Botnan Code: we speak the speieh of Shakespeare and of Bossuel; we copy the constitution which Burke and Somers and Sir Thomas Moore lived or died to secure or save. Out of these august element', in the name of the future generation, who shall inhabit all the vast regions we now call ours. 1 invoke tbe fortunate Genius of an united British America, to so solemnize law with the moral sanctions of religion, and to crown the fair pillar of our freedom, witbiiB only appropriate capital, lawful authority, so that, band in hand, we and our descendants may advance steadily to the accomplishment of a common destinv. (Loud cheers.) The Draft Bottnties Paid to Volunteers.

There has yet been no official information as to the time the draft is to commence, notwithstanding reports to the contrary. It is announced, however, that two day's notice will be given in an official manner as to the day the names will be drawn. A little preparation can therefore be made to meet exigencies. Thioughout the State energetic efforts are being made to fill up the quota without drafting. In this city nothing further has been done than to vote one million of dollars, which cannot yet be made available.

As soon as it is we have" no doubt that several regiments can be raised, enough, in fact, to prevent the sending of one unwilling man. All that is wanted is monev ure cash and no humbug. The inducements'for voluntary enlistments are now more solid than anv heretofore since the commencr mont nF tho war, and as it is a matter of universal interest in regard to the bounties paid both by the Suite and United States, independent of the city, we here with reproduce the sections of the act passed by the "iSittturc last winter relative to bounties chap. 11 Section 1.
