HOARD OF ALDERMEN. The Safety of Our City. We trust Mayor Kalbileisch is not unmindful of the fact that a fierce mob is surging through the streets of New York, and that no man can tell where their riotous proceeding may be stopped. We believe there is no fear of trouble in our city. There is no provocation for it.

The draft has been for the present postponed, and it may be that means will be taken to obviate the necessity for it altogether. There is no doubt that the constitutionality of the law will forthwith be tested in the Courts. We believe there is no material for a mob in this city, but there is a possibility that a party of infuriated meu from New York may extend their field of operations to this city. We take it for granted that the and SherilTare preparing for the emcrgen. c'.

We trust they are iu communication with the ferry companies, and are prepared to nip in the bud, any lawlessness like that which has sullied the fair fame of our sister city. The lraft and other Mutters Connected with the Anti Draft Demonstration. The draft in this city has been postponed for the present. The excitement in New York is the consequence. Capt.

S. B. Gregory of the Third Congressional district, taking time by the forelock, secured all his lists and enrollment papers, and placed thein where no mob can destroy them. Meanwhile, the draft, which was fixed for tomorrow (Wednesday) is postponed for the present at least. THE ENROLLMENT.

The enrollment, as we. have heretofore stated lias been completed and the result is as follows: in the second Congressional district. is about The number of lives lost is not yet known. The Police seemed to be powerless with the mob up town, and the military force, what there was of it, seems to have confined itself to the protection of the 7th Regiment Arsenal. The following additional particulars we have from an eyewitness: One of die serious disturbances of yesterday occurred in dames' slip, a negro woman coming down the street was chased by a number of men boys und women, two or three persons nour by at the time interfered; immediately tour or live hundred, men came down Chambers street, one or the gentlemen who interfered ran into Mr.

James Valentine's No. 15 James Slip for safety. Tho crowd then set upon the building, a perfect 'rain of stones broke through the windows, and the crowd followed in. Mr. Valentine sought safety in the roof where he lay until 11 l.

M. Two others in the room made an escape by the hack window. Patrick the bar lender was brutally beutcn and tlnallv rescued by two women. A number of shots were tired. An Irishman was shot through Hie neck, killing him; another was shot in the check and a third iu the leg.

The barroom wiib completely gutted, oven to the counter, decanters and gas fixtures, the water pipes also were cut. Captain Freeman at pier No. Kast Kiver at the same time seeing a negro and a woman tlghtingpcaeeably separated them. The crowd seeing it made a rush upon the Captain who look refuge in ihe sloop niligent. Capt.

Brown, lie was there caught and greatly mangled. His face receiving two cuts one upon the lip and the oilier running from the eje down the cheek. He also received a severe blow in the breast from a missile, lie was finally rescued by some friends. Three policemen endeavored to the mob. one of whom was beaten almost to death, another received a scere cut in tho temple, and I he third escaped by flight.

After a quiet of a few minutes the crowd made a rush for the negro sailor boarding houses, near the comer of Roosevelt and Chambers street. The Liverpool House, Iiooserelt, kept hy John McKean, the houses, 68 Chambers, 74, "It, 7S and SO Roosevelt street, and the whole block in Batavia street, from Chambers to lioosevelt, were completely gutted. There ar numerous reports of negroes brutally mangled, but the greater number lound safety in the station houses. The 4lh precinct house had its windows smashed. When yonr reporter left the scene at ten this morning, there was an immense and excited mob, who, with axes, crowbars, and shovels, were finishing the demolition of the buildings.

There can be but one opinion among right thinking men of the proceedings which yesterduy excitcd terror in every home within the commercial capital of the nation. A volcano is not more indiscriminate in destruction than is an infuriated mob when its passion is once excited. Its fury grows with what it feeds on. The object which first excites its wrath is soon forgotten or lost sight, of, and ultimately its leadership passes into the hands of those who have only the basest purpose to subserve. There is and can be no two questions of the duty of the good citizen in an emenrencv like tiie nresent.

Our rulers, bow. ever, have duties to perform which it would be folly for an instant to lose tight of. It would be a libel upon a city which has so zealously stood by the government as New York to charge her people with disloyalty. That the people of NTew York are willing to do all within their power to sustain the government the sixty thousand soldiers New York has sent to the field is an all sufficient attestation. It is the manner in which her support is demanded that is objectionable.

It would be impossible to devise a conscription law, the execution of which would not be attended by great hardship. It would have been very easy to have devised a law much less objectionable than that which yesterday provoked a riot in New York City. The suddenness with which it was put in operation, the unseemly mystery as to the number of men required, the disregard of the authority of the States, instead of dividing, throw the entire responsibility on the General Government, were all impolitic antecedents to a law which it was not possible for the Government to render unobjectionable. The government will bear in miud that the enforcement of the conscript law has been resisted elsewhere than in New York. In Indiana aud Ohio blood has been shed.

The lawlessness in the West was less formidable, mainly because it is in large cities where great masscss of people can be readily collected, that great riots are possible. From what has happened iu New York and elsewhere we believe the government will be justified in taking it for granted that the conscription law is objectionable to the people. Conceding that it is the right of the government to enforce the law, the policy of doing so may well be doubted. To place muskets in the hands of men who are taken by force from their hoines, and to rely upon them in positions where the safety of a whole army may depend upon their conduct, is to invite disaster. It is the experience of the South that the men forced into the ranks of the rebel armies are of no value; the strength of armies is not in numbers alone, but mainly in that spirit which a reluctant and disaffected soldier can never feel.

This war is the people's war. If the administration lias wisely used the means the people have placed at its disposal, and if after making an appeal to Ihem for further means of prosecutin" a war, which is their war, and the people faifin their duty, then the administration cannot be blamed. It will be held to have done its hole duty. It is not posble to bring this war to a successful close, unless the great mass of the people are heartily with the government. If they are they will voluntarily provide the means to carry on the war.

Now is the hour for those men who have talked so loudly of their lovaltv to eomc tn tw rescue of the government, menaced as it is lv foes on every side. The indications are that one vigorous campaign will secure for us all that war ever will. If there are disloyalists among us, there is only the greater necessity for tbosevho vaunted of their loyalty when it cost nothing to do so, to make greater exertion. Where are the Union leagues, so valiant in talk, so mighty in resolutions Let them take active efforts and they can relieve the government from a position from which it can neither proceed with safety nor retire with dignity. They have been called merely lip loyalists uow is the hour to refute the charge, and by coming themselves to the rescue put to shame thusc who shrink from their Where is Mr.

Greeley's large reserve force of Let but one hundred thousand of them speak, and the government can within a week declare that the patriotism of the people has exceeded its expectations, and that volunteers have come forward in such abundance that the dralt is abandoned. If thev want to relieve the government from an embarrassing position, win honor for themselves and confound the councils of the opposition, let them step into the breach and each proclaim By Jove. I nm not covetous for gold. Nor care 1 who doeth feed upon mv cost. It yearns me not, if men my rrarme'nts wear.

That fear his fellowship to die with The Wak News.

No general eiitratreuiont was fought yesterday between the armies of General Meade and the Kcbel Lee. A correspondent telegraphs that during Sunday night the atmosphere grew very hazy, and in the morning of yesterday it was so heavy that objects could be discerned only at a short distance. About noon a steady rain set in, bidding fair to last the remainder of the day. The mountain streams were fast rising, and it is probable that within twenty four hours the Potomac will have several additional feet of water on the fords. Sunday night the Rebels drew in their lines in a number of places, although on our extreme right and front they atill maintained a front and were engaged throwing up intrenehments and works for tlftir artillery.

Gen. Kilpatnck is in possession of Hagerstown and forms our extreme right. Nothing has been heard of Longs: reet since the battle of Gettysburg, and robe' troops while passing through Hagerstown told the citizens there that he was wounded and a prisoner. Our army is represented as being in fine spirits. The capture of Vieksburg is not believed by the rebels, and the ollicers, doubtless, use every effort to conceal the fact trom the privates in the army, denouneiu" it as a falsehood and an invention of the "Yankees." Lee's lines commence about a mile and a half from Hagerstown, running to Down.

yille and thence to the Potomac. Gen. forces face them, and so closely that there had been continual picket firing between the two lines for twenty four hours. The rain which commenced faUing at Hagerstown yesterday, has proved very heavy, pouring down in flooding torrents, without cessation, duringthe afternoon and evening. A later despatch from Frederick states that near noon yesterday onr skirmishers brought on a pretty severe engagement, which ended in the Union troops taking the Kebei works at the point of the bayonet, together with three hundred prisoners.

Our loss in killed and wounded is about one hundred from the Third and Fourth Corps. It was reported that a large body of our cavalry had crossed the Potomac above Williamsport, and were moving down the river for the purpose of heading off the enemy in his efforts to cross to the Virginia side. The wagon trains belonging to Lee's army, which had already reached the right bank of the stream, are in imminent danger of being captured or destroyed by this cavalry force. Lee had succeeded in placing a bridge of boats across the Potomac, but our artillery it ts snid commands it. So.

The Chief Engineer of the Fire Department in view of the present stale of affairs across the river, has rescinded the orders heretofore issued dividing the city into seperate districts.

THE ARSENAL AND TIIE ARMORIES. All the heavy guns as well as the small arms in the State arsenal and various city armories have been removed to a place of safety.

Some live thousand stand of arms are thus disposed of besides several batteries of field artillery. THE NAW YARD. The navy yard is bristling with cannon. The Flushing avenue side is guarded with thirteen 18 poundcrs; at the main entrance arc two 32 pounders, and all the vessels have been placed at anchor in the stream, and in readiness to meet any emergency. All the available force in the yard and on the vessels not required for immediate duty, are held in reserve for contingencies 11 1 xiie me ncu aiineu in every respect.

THE POLICE. The police of this city are also held in reserve to act as occasion may require. Last night one hundred men, in charge of Iuspeetor Folk, went to New York, but returned about 0 o'clock their services being no longer required. TUE AKTII.LEKY CALLED UPON Capt. George Chappell, of Co.

A number of colored women applied at the Station House of the 42nd Precinct last night, ior proiecuon. itiey told some lUarminjr stories about crowds coming to sack their houses and kill the occupants.

There was considerable apprehension excited in Green lane, Stewart's alley, Talman street and other places where the darkies most do congregate. A crowd of boys, who amused themselves by hooting and yelling at some darkies they encountered, and throwing a few stones, were the only resemblance to a mob, and they were easily dispersed. Affairs in the Eastern District. A BROOKLYN MAN BLOCKADED BY RIOTERS. Yesterday morning the capable manager of the Wall House in the E.

Capt. Henry Anderson, went over to New York to obtain the necessary papers which would exempt him froui Hie draft he being entitled to exemption by virtue of being an Assistant Draft Commissioner. After procuring the necessary documents, he called at the residence of Col. Nugent, Provost Marshal, in Lexington avenue, to obtain the signature of that officer to the certificates, and when he made his exit from the lmilding he found surrounded by an infuriated mob, who devoted themselves immediately to him. He made ids way down the thoroughfare followed by the crowd who began to make some blood thirsty threats, that if carried out would materially have effected the future of the Captain.

He quickened his pace and the crowd did the same, when fortunately he met a friend, who obtained an entrance for him through a basement door and thence up stairs. The crowd surrounded the building and were apparently bent on mischief; but by this time the houses fired iu the neighborhood" claimed their attention and flic crowd swaved up the avenue again. Captain Anderson remained in the house all day. as the proximity of the rioters rendered his re appearance unsafe. After dark he ventured forth and made his way to the Wall House witnessing on his way the firing of the houses destroyed opposite Essex Market.

TIJF. DR.VFT IN THE LD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Provost Marshal Maddox announces that the drawing for conscripts for the 2d Congressional District will be begun on Monday next. The Riot in New 1'ork. The 18th of July, 1803, will be a memorable day in the history of New York, when the city was given over to the rule of a de tte mob.

Opposition to the draft was the exciting cause of Ihe outbreak but the spirit of lawless violence once let loose, there was no progress or prescribing any limit to its work of uesuucuuii. me obstruction of the Provost Marshall's olliccs in the Eighth and Ninth districts was followed by reckless acts of brutal fc roeityin all parts or the city, violence, rapine arson were the order of the day until a late hour of the night. Half Ihe incidents of the riot h. not yet been told; the number of killed injured not yet known. The wildest rumors were afloat, and there is much exaggeration of the events y'ct The unfortunate negroes became marked objects for attack, and whenever a colored man was seen on the street he was chased and beaten by the mob.

Not content with this, the mob fired the Colored Orphan Asylum, and several houses in different parts of the city where colored people reBidc. One colored man was hung to a lamp post in Clurkson street and his clothes set on tire. It is likewise reported that many other colored persons have died of their injuries. The Tribune ofliee, which had been threatened once or twice during the afternoon, was finely attacked about eight o'clock in the evenening The crowd here was rather small, not over lifty or faixty active rioters. They smashed all the windows on tho first and second floor, broke into the counting room and destroyed the countera anu ucbkb, aim ui.ujiiipi.ea to nre the building but the timely arrival of the police saved it from destruction.

OPINIONS OF TIIK PRESS. The New York journals of this morning are entirely occupied with details of the great riot of yesterday. For the first time in over two years the news from the scat of war is of secondary The press of New York is unanimous in condemning yesterday's lawlessness, unless the New York Humid may be taken as exception.

This journal has never been noted for its resistance to any measure which is popular, when such resistance involved the slightest risk of profit or safety. The Herald is desirous of sailing with the current. This morning, its conductors not knowing the way the current runs, say nothing. The Tribune has most to fear from the continuance of yesterday's doings. The people engaged in the riot were all but successful in destroying the Tribune office.

Mr. Greeley himself, with some difficulty, escaped from the enfuriated mob. The Tiibune found fault with the local authorities while giving credit to the alacrity and zeal with which the police transacted their hazardous duty. Mr. inccicYiiuw ucuumus inniiue national government shall take the matter in hand, and advocates the proclamation of martial law forthwith.

We quote from the Tribune: "The plain obvious duty of the Government Is to declare at once Martial Law in this citv, and to place some officer in command who will enforce It. A nvl, not formidable by organization, hy arms. hardly even hv numbers, was suffered all yesterday to work its will oil lives and properly. Where ihe police were used, they did the main very well, but thev were not half used The civil power was at fault: "lacked capacity and lacked eourasre even the poor cotiratjeto summon ibe military its protection. Such niiliiarv leadership as we laid was no belter.

It presented onlv the spectacle of irresolution, and incompetence: was worse than useless, and must be replaced. Let the Government take thought for this eity. The mob which froverned it yesterday, and may resume its lawless scepter ai any moment, needs to be crushed ith relentless purpose and an iron hand. Only the Government can do it, or the citizens who. failing the Government, will organise for self defense.

The Government can do it onlv by martial law, and by declaring that promptly, exercising it mercilessly, and maintaining it lill the last vestige of treason is annihilated." We believe that there is no necessity for this extreme course. The State of New York if not the city is capable of maintaining order within its limits. Martial law has been delated as the absence of all law. We desire to see law, and would bo sorry to find that Mr. Greeley's panic should be contagious.

Tlie.Y. i'' York Time calls upon the people to respond to the Mayor's call for the enforcement of the law. It says "Mayor Opdyke lias called for volunteer pDliceinn to tor the special and temnorurv ni. down the mob which threatened yesterday to burn and plunder the eilv. I.tt notntin man atlord to neglect it.

man, whatever his calling orcondition in life, can afford to live in a city where the law is powerless, and where moljs of reckless ruffians can plunder dwellings and burn whale blocks of buildings with impunity. Let the mob which ra ves ter.l. ourstreets with so tittle of real restraint, "obtain the upper hand for a day or two longer, and no one can predict or imagine the extent of the injury thev mav u.tiict. or the eight of the blow they mav strike it our pence and prosperity. Thii mob niuit he cruxksti ai on.e.

Kvery day'. every hour's deliy is big with evil. Let every citizen come promptly forward andgive his peisonal aid to so good and so indispensable a work. The World believes that New York yesterday witnessed the saddest sight that she has ever seen since her first foundation stone was laid. It characterizes the attack upon the inoffensive negroes as mean and cowardly.

While condeiu ing the doings of the mob iu the strongest language, it does not hold the authorities blameless. It says un tiiis point Does Mr. Lincoln now perceive what alienation he has put between himself and the men who three years ago thundered out with one voice in Uiiionsquare 'The Union.it must anil shall he preserved These are the very men whom his imbecility, his wanton exercise of arbitrary power, his stretches of ungranled authority have transformed into a mob. At the heginuitig hundreds of thousands of men went willingly to risk their lives ai his and the nation's call. Was it impossible for him to have rested upon the nation's heart, so to have obeyed the nation's will, that if need ware still other hundreds of thousands would have gone forth willingly at his bidding? Who believes it it was not impossible.

What has lie and his infatuated partv done instead? They hae framed a Conscription Act, never tolerable to a free unconstitutional bc vond any manner of doubt in its provisions if not in its very nature, offensive anil most unwise in the method of its enforcement, discriminating between rich and poor, unfair, onerous, and most oppressive linn. where the attrition of discontent was at us height. Does anv man wonder that poor men refused to be forced into ii war mismanaged utmost into hopelessness, perverted almost into partisanship? Did the President and his cabinet ima" ine that their lawlessness could conquer, or their folly scducc. a free people?" World in conclusion urges the cessation of unlawful resistance, intimates that the law will be found to be unconstitutional, holds that this question should be legally tested, and promises on behalf of the State authorities "that the du 'cision of the courts will be sustained in the Kiiipirc State against any and every power which attempts to overrule them. The New York Dully AVu claims that it warned the Administration that there would be trouble.

It now advises the people to rise above the level of abolition fanatics, and to save the country in some way which the AV fails to point out. We quote: Let a voice that comes from one wnnm you can trust, and who is with you in all legitimate opposition to despotism, he heard among you. Listen to it anij take counsel from it. for you have but to search the record to know that it has never lied to you and will not betray your cause. We have so much at stake, our poor country appeals to us piteoualy, thai we cannot afford to lose our opportunities in the vortex oft mi nt and blind fury.

For tho sakes of your cause, men. orise superior 10 me passions ot the moment. ami let your luture action be ca m. consirti n.i noble. New ork City must give an example to the North, but it must not beau example of unbridled license, anarchy ami rashnesa.

Die, if it need be. to defend your rights, hut let there he no stigma upon the names uf your fraternity, and let no bistort hereafter recount of you deeds that your children will hi ush to read. The Jmcrnal of Couowrct thus points out the duty of the citizens in this emergency: "There is but one word of advice to be given to every man. It impresses itself on all citizens to day. the laws', Stand by the constituted authorities local.

State and nationul. There is no other security. Every man has his duty lo do. Kvery voice should lie raised in this behalf. It is a pressing duty this morning.

Our lives and property are dependent oil its fulillmcm! The authorities need every mau's support, and they iutt i have it." The following is the Sim's view of the matter "It is nciw useless to repeat our condemnation of the policy that has provoked this outbreak of violence, and we can only deprecate most earnestly and sincerely any continuance in proceedings that will surelv result in arraying the adherents of law and order against the rioters. All eyes are instinctively turned towards Governor Seymour for the counsel and action that will restore harmony. He cannot fail lo ho profoundly utrectcd by the occurrences that have dishonored our city and though he is not responsible for them, he "will not fail to interpose his broad shield, both for the protection of the people, and the preservation of the constitutional authority of the Fcdcrul Government." The Police Courts this mousing. In consequence of the absence or the police force of this city, who were ordered to New York yesterday to put down the disturbance there, there wero but few arrests made in this city and tho Police usticea had but few cases before them this morning and these all cases of intoxication. The whole number of arrests in this city did not exceed twenty.

13 imiors of a Riot at Jamaica. We have heard a report that riots had taken place at Jamaica and Flushing, but we have been unable up to this time to obtain information as to the truth of these rumors. What is a Riot The word riot is derived from a Latin word riotu, signifying a brawl. Iu law it is a tumultuous disturbance of the peace by three or more persons, who have assembled, together of their own authority for the purpose of assisting one another in the execution of some private enterprise, and in resisting any one who shall interfere witii or oppose their proceedings; and after wards carry out that purpose in a violent aud turbulent manner. It is wholly immaterial whetherthe act intended is lawful or unlawful, for it is not in the act itself, but iu the manner iu which it is done, which creates the particular offence.

Women may be punished as rioters, but children under fourteen years of age cannot. In the trial of Lord George Gordon, the leader and instigator of the celebrated "No Popery Riots" in London, in 17S1, it was the unanimous opinion of the King's Bench that tin attempt by intimidation, and violence to force the repeal of a law, was a levying of war against the king. The laws for the punishment of riot are based upon the statute 1, George commonly called the "riot act," which made it a capital felony for persons riotously assembled to the number of twelve: or more, to continue so assembled for one hour after proclamation by a justice of the peace eoniuifiidiiigthem to disperse. Subsequent statutes made oilier specific offences felonious Mich as riotously demolishing any church, chapel, or other building, or any machinery or manu faelory, or forcibly obstructing the export of corn. Principals in the degree and accessories before the fact arc also punishable as felons.

In the United States the statutory provisions respecting riots follow in a great measure those of England, but are milder in their punishment and more qualified in their application. 11 aft Reoclatioss. The Provost Marshall General has published a further series of regulations in respect to tho drart; one of these'pro vides that "a drafted man cannot pay commutation money or present a substitute after he has reported himself to the Board of Enrollment for examination." This is an arbitrrry rule. A man may believe that he is physically disqualified, and seek exemption on that ground; if he is declared qualified he is compelled to serve whether he can provide a substitute or not. On the other hand, men who are obviously disqualified, through fear of a capricious decision of the enrollment Board, may pay the exemption money, which the gov ernmet has no right to take Irom persons who arc not liable to service.

The government has been unfortunate iu the selection of agents who, by prescribing arbitrary and unwise regulations, have heightened the popular discontent with the conscript ion. Letter from the Brooklyn 23rd. CAiir or 23d Regiment, Waynesboro, July 8th. A gentleman about to return to Brooklyn has offered to convey letters from the regiment and 1 therefore avail myself of this opportunity to send jnu a few lines. Our march from Harrisburg has been a very fatiguing one and the men stagger along as though intoxicated, so completely are thev worn out.

have not as yet reached our destination, but it will probably be Gettysburg, Ibe seem: ol the late battles, or Chambersburg. All Saturday night last we were on our march and the route lay through rugged mountain passes, which were almost impassable, owing to the heavy rains. That niglns' march I shall remember to my dying day. We have traversed since Wednesday last at least sixtv miles, through the wildest country imaginable. Many fugitives from the late terrible light have been met with, who give the most encouraging account of affairs.

Many of them were wounded. Our men complain much for want of food; in fact we have almost been tempted to boil down our own shoe leather to make soup. All we do get is by foraging. A piece of hard tack" is a luxury. At last, however, we are resting our toilsome march is at an end, for awhile, at least.

We are now encamped in a grove about a mile from the pretty town of Waynesboro. During the latter part of our march we saw many proofs of the rapid flight of Lee's army, such its shells, solid shot, a dead horse branded S. caissons, and you may be prepared to hear in a few days ol the surrender of the rebel annv to Gen. Meade. A gigantic and impassable "barrier is thrown in Lee's path in the Potomac river, which lias been very much swollen bv the late rains.

That very rain which made our march of about To miles so laborious and painful will doubtless be the means ol throwing Lee into the hands of lie. Union armv; should that be the result I shall feel repaid "for the sufferin" 1 l.ave endured. Meade's army is marching in an oblique direction and is expected to engage Lee at Hagerstown. A large cavalry force, a part of the Army of the Potomac, is here. They have been following up the retreating rebels in order to annoy them and make them understand that a large army is on their heels.

Weare to act as a reserve, so that should our forces be defeated in the next battle we can march forward and reinforce them. Our tctm of service will expire on Saturday, 18th but it will probably he the wesk following before we return. In fact, if our services are required, there is not a man in the 23d who will not cheerfully remain till tiiey are no longer needed. A little fighting will be a relief to all of us after the hardships and privations we have endured since leaving Harrisburg. L.
