B THE REW CALL FOR TROOPS. Military Movements in New York and Vicinity. Continuance of the Drafting Excitement. foreigners Rushing to the Consuls’ Offices. The Office of the British Consu! Besieged. SCENES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY. THE NEW UNITED STATES MILITIA LAW: Instructions for Preparing Claims for Soldiers’ Pay, Ree The two subjects of drafting and exemption now hol’ the popuiar mind, and speculations in regard to thes« tmatiers were rife yesterday throughout the city. Those claiming exemption papers flocked to the City Hall in large numbers yesterday, and the commisxioners of decd: were kept on the wiert administering caths and filling ur the printed forms of certificates at prices ranging from twenty-five to sixty-two cents. The exempts pay their fees gladly, apparently delighted to get off so easily; but ® good deai of strictness is pursued in the matter ©: granting those papers. THE RUSH TO THB CONSULS’ OFFICES, From an early hour yesterday morning up toa late hour {w tL» afternoon the offices of the several consuls through- @ i tw city were literally besieged by foreigners anxious te obta.u certificates of alienship. lngress to the office o: the british Consul was barely possible, so great was the throng. The applicants here consisted of English, Irish ‘and Scotch, who were somewhat taken aback on readi the following notice, posted in a conspicuous place:— British subjects who have never been naturalized abroad are requised by law to deposit the proof of thet patiovality with the County Cierk, at the City Hall. Tnir will render them exempt from military service. No cer Sifleate of apy kind from the Consul is required by law. Barns VoxsuLate, New Yora, August 4, 1862 ‘The applieants were treated very courteously by the ‘Vice Consul, who informed them that the simple filing 0 their names at the County Clerk’s office, with a certifi eate of their uon-citizenship, would exempt them from military duty. It was reported at the consulate tha Reverai persons who had been subjects of England, bu who had declared their intentions without ever baying cast a vote, hud vainly tried to file certificates in th office of the County Clerk. The decision of Secretar Seward, that a simple declaration of intevtions does not complete citizeaship, maccommanied by the exercise o! the franchise, it is thought wi!l cause some controversy with the British government, who, it is surmised, wil Qct on this decision and exempt such from military duty, THE PARK BARRACSS. A number of anxious tnquirers about the probability o: @ dratt visited the Park and the barracks therein during the day. ‘The reoruiting officers gave them to underetan: that they would have to submit tp a draft without any Dacking out. Several filed their exemption paper with the County Clerk, on the ground of varion @ompleated diseases. ’ Notwithstandiug all th: ‘been written in relation to drafting and exemption there appear to be many quite ignorant on the subjec yet. Let them, once for ali, understand that those wh are liable will have to submit to adrait when it comes anc those who are not will be entitled to the full benefi of exemption. There ig no possible way of getting ent of this, and the public might as well sub: with as good a grace as possible. With the absolute necessity staring them in the face of immediately rei forciog our armies in the field, people onght 10 be more pleased than ovberwise that this process las been revorte: to by the government. The citizens of New York, whc more than any other portion of the North, derive wealth and advaneeiment from the Union government, shoul: mot commence to grumble now that their strong arm: and willing bearts are needed in order to stem the tide of destruction which is fast rushing upon the country The nation has need of men—has need of all the manly exertions to which patriotic emotion can nerve the ‘arms of the people; and, trusting in Providence and the efiiciency of our military authorities, let us march for ward at once to the rescue, aud there is no doubt but that our efforts will be crowned witb that suecess which i: eo cminently deserved by afree government strugglivg against mternal enemies. By reference to the rules and regulations in relation to draiting, published in yesterday's Hana, everything will be made clear in relation to this important matter THE QU ARTERMASTER’S OFFICE. There was considerable discussion and excitement rela tive to-drafting at the Quartermaster General's cilice @uring yesterday, recruiting officers being there for the purpose of better ascertaining all the facts avout drafting And in what manuer the government order affects them If they would put read the particulars and laws as they appear daily, then there would be no necessity of thei harryig tato Gen, Arthur's office, and they woul saye him anc his sttaches avast amount of trouble. There appeared to be @ want of tents and cietling for our volun teers, and it would be well to bave this matier settle immediately. The contracting for tents has been ent to Colone! Vinton, and there besome bitch in the pri ss of manufacture. eral Arthur took his departure tor Albany on Monday fer with the Governor on the maiter of recruiting anc ether military subjects. Goveruor Morgan bas cailed a Weoeting o1 bis stall. THE MUSTERING OFFICE. Business at this office yesterday wes rather slow. This hen ee may be inferred from the fact that an order bas been Is sued preventing the payment of any United States bounty for the Lime being. Captain Larned received a commun! eation from the War Department some time since, stating that be would she Foquisive amount of Ua nica tly be seat $100,000 in order to'pay the States bounty, which comrau ion Was subsequently verilied.

LETTER FROM COLONEL GOODWIN, Tho annexed letter, which was sent President Lin- som by Colonel Goodwin, in relation to war matters, i* published without comment:— New York, July 20, 1862. Paesunenr Linconn—It 1s to be hoped that you are get- ting your eyes opened to the horrible condition of our ountry, and that you will see where selfish pohtical iricksters are drifting us, and: that you will cease to take counsel from sueb deceitful servants, You have bad the sontidence of all the loyal people, irrespective of party; heir money and lives were at your coll in defence of our country, until it becamea wel known fact that both nave been recklessly squandered by public servants whom you have chosen as worthy your conf lence, ‘but whom the people now must look spon’ ag traitors, and the worst specimen of ebels. Ihave attended the mass meetings, both in Ph® adelpbia and this cty, and! know that wo have done sverything in our power to strengthen your position, and wil! contiaue to do so 80 long 28 there is a shadow of hepe eft. You will remember what | told you a year ago, ‘That you wanted more meu than you then hai to save > own neck.’? You afterwards called for 400,000 move men; you got 700,000. Where ave the brave hearts? You now ¢all for 300,000; but they are slow to come to che slaughter. I now repeat that you want more men, and st least call for 1,060,000. You will want thei all, and the quicker they sre called forthe better. Take chem, white or Diack, 80 as net to protract this war. Remove the red tape oificers, 80 that true men can come to the rescue of our Unien, and the few remaining brothers who now are on the tented fleld wuait- to be attacked by the inhuman rebels. Let us play war uo longer with men who are in carnest. Place Seward, Stanton and Thomas where they cannot in. ure our efiuse, Remove ail the General Stones out of the cap. Letus have honest, true men in office, whom the people can have confidence in; then you will not lack voi- anteers. A Dounty is not necessary to find one miilion of brave men to defend (heir own rights, We are all ready toa man; but we are not ready to be drafted by piece: meal to stand to be butchered at the bidding of pretended riends. I for one will prefer to sufler martyrdom before Tshal} submit to such gross villany. I dread not my life in a just cause. I can point out to you rebels sfice. Washington is fll of them. Your own $ not safe amongst them, aud we must submit to be taxed to support such miscreants in office. Men like Lathrop, of Philadeiphia; Adams, of New Hamp- shire, Fremont and hundreds of other true men are kept from doing their duty. In saying as I do I only spe Sentiments of hundreds of my own friends, men who are eady with myself, at our country’s call, and our motto is, Freedom and liberty forever”’—no home intole anee or foreign intervention. Hoping you wili call for nd accept at least 1,600,000 of us to defend the Union, nd let us show to foreign nations that we are able to defend our own rights, I remain, with profound respect, your obedient servant, R. D. GOODWIN. MILITIA ENROLMENTS. 70 THE EDIOR OF THE HERALD. It is announced in the daily papers that the late en. rolment of the militia of this city amounts to 40,000 men. Of these a large number are filing excuses a8 ex- mpts. This will reduce the number considerably. How many then are to take the chance of a draft? How has (bie enrolment been made? It surely does not include all those liable to do duty. Jn 1861 there were euroiled in this city 9: 2 ununiformed militia, besides the mem- bers of the First division, under General Sandford, amounting to 7,000 more. This enrolment was made after our regiments bad gone to the war. The question is, who is responsible fur the present enrolment? His it been done by the captains, as the law requires, or by ome incompetent individual ? crvis. ‘MIE SHARPSHOOTERS, ‘The charpehooters engaged in the recopnoiseance refer- sed to in our correspondent’s letter, dated Fredericksburg, July 28, and which appeared in the Henarp of the Seth, were commanded by Lieutenant Colonei Frank Peteler, uot Lieutenant Colonel Potter, as therein stated. Explanatory Letter from Mr. A. Gregory’ TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Cauy Bows, Rissa’s Istanp, August 4, 1662. Finding in your widely circulated sheet that I had been arrested as a secessionist and a traitor to my country and che Union, and, that I had taken the oath of allogiance imder compulsion—either to go to Fort Lafayette or eu- list. I take this means of saying that I enlisted with my own free will. As for my being @ traitor to the Union that is best known through my acquaintances, who are numerous in New York and its suburbs. I never was asked to enlist, neither was it spoken of to me until { offered my gervices, as a trae patriot, to be ove w serve my country as well a8 yours. I feel myself wronged, not in pame ouly, but by some contemptible puppy, whom ueither the press nor man ought to notice. As tomy taking the oath of allegianco, it is false in toto. It was not spcken of by me or by the officers; neither was here a telegraphic despatch from Washington fixing my destiny at Fort Lafayette. What assertions I made could uot send me there if | hai demanded a hearing. As for my intemperance, let my acquaintances judge, not gers. Leutisted under Col. Turnbull.

The soldiers under his care are as tine a lot of men as ever went juto the field.
