BROHRO* of Co.?D, 14th Bogt., who wus so painfully weuadei befare Richmond a year ago, 'celebrates the anniversary of that event by returning heme with a bu! lc t ho lo through each thigh-whick pleasant punctures be received from the hands of the Yankees at Gettysburg, The friends of this intrepid soldier will be glad to hear that his wounds are doing well, ?nd that he is-already getting about a little on his crutches. Mr. W. 8. Covan, son of our old townsman, Mr. Sn KURT Covan, ?has also just got home from Yirginia; ho has boen brought low by typhoid pneumonia, but "fieme, sweet Home" has already set him upon bis feet. ' Thoo shalt not Croak I We aaaufacture a now commandment to suit the tim3?. Our Country abounds arith croakers ; they are as plenty as the frogs that were sent te visit rebellious Pharaoh who reigned over the land of Egypt The record of these Egyptian croakers however, does not show that they, kept up by any means, so incessant and discordant a serenado as our white-livered Confederate perform ors. These latter are .croaking in . every style of voice from tho highest topratuxtown to the lowest bateo pro/undo ; and. what is worse, they have been on the cre?ee?<ie molt? ever since the fall of Vicksburg. .They see every thiug in a distorted form, and alt adverse news is magnified ten fold; the ab sence of uews is interpreted by them to ind?calo fearful disaster and they insist upen drinking the* cup of wot to its very dregs. They exclaim : I teilt drown, and no man shall save mo. If the army makes a retrograde movement, they at once infer disastrous results as baring kappened, or about to happen ; if we get no news at all,, they ar? then positive that irretrievable disasters have befallen us-that,the whole Confederacy, is suui hBatcd-that there has been a general smash-up North, Spath, East and West. If Gen. Lee dees not'telegraph that bit has changed his shirt, er Gen. JOHSSTOX that- he has had his bu?ts cle*m?d, or Gea.'BitAaa tha't. he has' washed bis feet, they at -once imagine that the shirt, the boote and the feet, with their respective owners, have become lawful booty ef the Yan kees. Our canse ia sot lost nor endangered by the fall of Vicksburg, if the Government and people will now set abtut hand and *heart to repair the damage and drive back tho invader. If Vicks burg had surrendered a year ago, tho disaster would not bare been considered half aa crushing as either tho fall of Donelson or New Orleans ; and it is to be doubted to day, when considerad in tray but a nraral point of view, in its effects upon the enemy and upon our own people, whether the lo.-sof that city is a greater disadvantage -to us in a military aspect, than many similar dlsoom fituros during this war. We*will continue te have dashing leaders on both sides of tb? Mississippi, who with batteries and sharpshooters on 'he banks of the river, can annoy the boats and troops pass ing down, to an extent whioh will render tho trip more precarious than profitable. Neither dovs Ms biie necessarily fall, from t he oap tur e of Vicksburg. Naturally a defenaiblo position, and difficult of access by land and water, we do not se? that with proper resolution and proparatior. on tho part of its citizens and the authorities, why it will not be able to make, as sueeessf A a resist taco as Rich .mond or Charleston. Why then croak} 'Tj? true that Gen. Las has enterod Pennsylva nia, end after the severest battle of tho war, has heep forced to fall back-bas recrossed the Poto mac and is again on the soil ef Virginia. Tho result so far as we are able' to judge from the lights before us, has not incroased either our moral or material strength. Our confidence, however, in our great leader and the noble army he commands is unabated, and what bas boen done may all be for the bett. Wo at least ought to wait and t< J-and not croak. Charleston has net f?lleu, ncr do we beliero lt will fall. But if it should, the true and bravo will seo ia such a casualty, cause for renewed and increased effort, and will redouble their resolution to drive the invader from tbo soil. A blow like that should call into action all the spirit of the country, and our people should then let it bo soon that they have nut yet done ell tboy a?? oapablo of doing. Every thing depends now upon the oelerity and rigor of eur movements. If the people allow themselves to bo frightened oat of their wits into a disgraceful panic, tboy may be sure Gie military will partake of their fears, and the whole become a confused and disjointed mass, at the prey of the well organised forces of tho enemy ; but if the people are calm ind true, standing firmly by their jans, and yielding a ready aniatanoo to the au thorities, ail will eome out of the straggle with 1 glorious consciousness that they have acted as aecomo the descendants of th? patrio ts of '76, and trill deserve the euocaas with which tho God of rattles never yet failed to crown the efforts of a seeple who remained faithful to a good cause. In.conclus'! on, we would suggest that the publie viii eave itself muoh disquietude and discomfort, f it will refuse to believe reports put afloat and :ept iii'circulation by faint-hearted and white iverod croakers ; and wait the reception of news brough tho regular channels. If the news is ad, irwill be heard aeon enough, and there is 10 need- of meeting trouble half way. If it is ;ood, lt will only be enjoyed with the more ?est. Ibove all things, keep buoyed up with an unfai ling, undying faith in the justness and final access of oar cause, and persistently hop* for the est, until the worst is demonstrated, end bo sure > draw comfort and consolation from the most ntoward events ; as disease ir eradicated and. saith restored by the most unpleasant 'remedios ad the most unpalatable medicines.

New York Riot-The Draft to bc Enforced. - The New York Herald ol the 18th instant gives tho following: The groat riot in New York had been for the time suppressed, and the draft was to be enforced. The Herald says :. " Almost perfect order reigned throughout the whole city yesterday. The wards whore the highest excitement had prevailed, were filled with large. bodies oT military, who patrolled the streets entirely unmolested by the populace." Mayer Opdyjce had issued a proclamation, in which he pay?,' the riotous asseinbilges having been dispersed, business is mouing in its usual channels.. Thc people are warned against, unlawful combinations, having for their object the.usurpation of tho laws 5 -io give no heed to persons warning them to de sist from their occupai ions ; .but to arrest snch persons for punish men t as conspirators. Tho Provost Marshal. General had issued new orders from Washington, as follows: " Provost Marshals are informed that no orders have been issued countermanding the draft.' . " Adequate force) has boon ordered by the Government to the points where the proceed ing?" bave been .interrupted.

The Herald's correspondent's dispatch, from WashiDgtou, dated the 17th, say?: ,lIndica tions are as thick as leaves in Valumbrosia that the Government intends tb carry out the conscription .at whatever cost. It is whisper ed that, under the great and momentous nce'd of enforcing tho draft, the high administrative abilities of General Butler will becalled mm .requisition.
