They viewed im the throng who witnessed their movements © patriotic desire to be Rumor with which they quizsed the sewly-made con- neripts, whose names wero familiay to them, ag @ face ious instance of unconditional loyalty; and they saw not in the perilous mood which ‘they developed the plastic character which o day might infuriate or calm, ‘The Provost Marshal, Captain Jenkins, when the work: of the day was over, had @ banquet, to which the mem- ders of the press and enrolling officers were invited, and their tirst day’s labors thus closed amicably. Is was a significant fact that tho sudience who wit- essed the drawings were composed exclusively of labor- ers and mechanics, who seemed unable to raise th amount required to exempt them from the conscription law. Tho district ig densely populated with this class of our citizens. On Saturday évoning there was intense ‘excitement in ‘the neighborhood, and when the names of the conscripts ‘were read there seemed to be a genera) determination to resist tho law. There was no free discussion tolerated cn the subject. Whoever supported the draft seemed to be Yegarded as an enemy of the people, or at least as an in- dividual who bad the mammon antidote to it—three hun- dred dollars. These indications ripened on Sunday, when the Hrrarp Published tho list of over twelve hundred names which the wheel of fortune and a man blindfolded, independent of their will—and in hundreds of jnstances of their know- Jedge—enrolled as soldiers. The people seemed to forget theigprayers aud the reli- gious aspect attached to the Sabbath. Piety and the saints; Scripture and tradition, were temporarily discarded by the masses, who a few hours previously had filled spacious temples. The draft was the all-absorbing subject. Who were its victima— how many were the chances of escape—how the rich (made so by a war they sought to make perpetual) wero exempted on payment of a nominal amount, which the profita on a roll of shoddy or a few explosive muskets ‘would realize—were the points which” Iurge coHoquial groups discussed, not only in the Ninth district, but throughout the city. ‘The fact that nearly all the men drafted were laborers and mechanics added fuel to the flame. There was many asad household on Sunday in the Twenty-second ward, where the names were read; and it must be stated, by way of an explanation of the cxtraordinary resistance which marked the draft, that the female relatives of the conscripts mingled their wildest denunciation against the conscription law, and thus gave the people a ‘cavalier’ motive to enact the terrible scenes in the district and throughout the city, Sunday closed peaceably, We have réain to believe that no organization was then formed to resist the draft, But when Monday came—the weekly holiday of the people—when labor is merely started, the masses gene- rally abstained from work. The day toeffect de- velopments of no ordinary character. Opposition to a law—which might become the signal of hostility else- ‘where—was to become practical. Few of the sone of Weil entered toeir workshops. and, az if by a preconcerted arrangement, a concourse of over twelve thousand, armed ‘with various weapons—clubs, staves, pieces of steel, Dare of ron and oart rangs—appeared and proceeded to Patrol the city. It was well known that the draft was tobe continued yesterday morning in the Ninth district. As the move- ments of the throng were not anticipated, no measures ‘were taken to overcome them by strong force. At an carly hour the people met, then but two thou- sand in number, in the Twenty-second wart. They pro- ceeded through the city, on what might be termed re- cruiting service. One of the number had a copper pan— ‘& gong—with which he drummed men to participate im the hostilities. The throng met with a welcome re- ception almost everywhere;-their calls were promptly answered; at their bidding to join in resistance to the con- seription workshops were suddenly deserted; men left their various pursuits; owners of inconsiderable stores put up their shutters; factories were emptied; conductors or drivers left their onrs; employes at ratiroad depots—all added formidable accessions to the con- Course; and on they swept like a torrent to the Provost Marshal's office of tbe Ninth District, No. 677 Third @venue, to destroy every vestige of the conscription there, and wreak their vengeance indiscrimipately on the ofiicers. As they rushed through the streets they armed them- selves with various weapons; bat, although many of them had firearms, they were not used till a later portion of the day. ‘Tho drawing bad proceeded quietly up to ten o'clock, when a portion of the crowd—the advance guard—pusbed fm the epectators ;then interruptions followed. A passing stone, directed at the head of the Provost Marshal, but whichja reporter received, was the signal for the attack, which subsequently broke out in the most terrific fury, Gespite of restraint, The awful scenes which followed are Fecorded in detail in our columns.

Mr. Opdyke was accord- ingly waited upon by many city officials; but they, of Generals Woo}, Sandford, Hall, Brown and otherg also waited upon the chief executive of the city, amd some shape was given to the proceedings. General Sandford de; termined to call upon the exempt National Guards Bow ig this city, and met a large number of them, as he ro- Ported, at the Beyenth regiment armory. They allex- Pressed perfect willingness to aid in defence of the city. Tho Mayor also determined to issue @ proclamation calling upon all well disposed citizens to report them- selves at the police headquarters this morning, and be Sworn jn for special service, This was deemed especially Wise, in the absence of Governor Seymour, who waa re- peatedly telegraphed for at New Brunswick, but did not answer, for the best of all reasons—absence, He was at Long Branch, and it must have been bight before he knew of the exciting events of the day. It was also determined to ure the returned volunteers, and some of their officers appeared and offered their own services individually and those of all the men they could get together at the short notice given them. The yolun- teers will report to General Woo! to-morrow. ‘Tho Mayor expressed the opinion that, with the efforts already made, the troubles could be crushed without any resort to more extreme measures, Profoundly solicit- ous for the safety and peace of the city, he was unwilling to go farther than stern necessity requirea. If, how- ever, there should be another outbreak this morning, and the force preferred be unable to put it down, then he would feel it to be a duty to request General Wool to declare martial law. Captain Rynders and Judge Advocate General Water- bury, who wero present, hoped that tho Mayor would hesitate before taking euch a step, which they feared would only result, in the present excited state of public feeling, in still severer conflicts than those already wit- peseed. 4 Mr. Opdyke eaid that be knew a declaration of martial law would be very severe, and the necessity for its call unfortunate, but he could see no other course to porsuc if mob law became triumphant. Ho believed that there would be @ quiet day on the morrow. ‘The military men present were engaged in writing out omders and preparing for freeh duties, and the scene in the bandsome St, Nicholas parlor reminded oue forcibly of a goneral’s headquarters in the field, minus tho sofas, glasses, and other adornments of the room. The Mayor remained here all night. THE CROWD VISIT MAYOR OPDYKE’S RESIDENCE— SPSECH OF JUDGE BARNARD. While the excitement was at its height yesterday afternoon, and when all respect for order seemed gone, some one proposed to the throng who were witnessing the destruction of Cap in Manierre’s building, that they should march to the Mayor's residence and give him a “serenade.” Tho proposition was instantly adopted, and, feveral thousands of the people, armed in all concewable ways, marched in comparatively good order to Mr. Op- @yke’s palatial residence on the Fifth avenue. Tho residents in the neighborhood wore terri. Diy alarmed, foaring that general vengeance would ‘be wreaked upon the entire locality; but the throng paid its entire attention to the building eccupied by the Mayor, Some shouted, ‘Bring out the Mayor and eo what he has got to say about it”? “Let us ecehim.” “Ob, he is a sfoddy aristocrat.” “Burn the damned building.” ‘No, no.” “Xes, yes,” and so on, in all varieties. After remaining there for a few moments it was evident that incendiartsm would be the Tesult unless some voice was raised to stay !t. ‘Judge Barnara, who lives close by, was in this juncture all pon. “He appeared, and edging his way through the crowd, managed to get a position onthe stoop, Being recognized, the multitude gave three cheers and de- manded a spgech. It was almost impossible to distinguish at times what the Judge said, ‘but he was understood to denounce the draft as an uneonetitutional act, as an act The administration bad gone too far; they had imposed upon the people, whereat there was tremendous cheeniug. But he would call attention to the fact that we ‘still bave law, that the courts would protect us in the ex- ercise of all our just and legal rights. (Cheers.) He hoped, for the honor of this city, so great and glorious, that its people would do no such ‘injury as to destroy the residence of bim who was their legally elected Chief ‘Officer. (1*Well, you're about right, Judge,” cried = voce in the crowd.) They should Jeave and go to their homes, and not sully the reputation of our city for ite obedience’! to haw. ‘The Judge’s remarks were greeved with load applause, and the throng in a quiet manner immediately took up the line of march for Bromiway, to again witness the burning ruins of the Eighth district Provost Marshal's headquarters. VISIT TO COLONEL NUGENT’S RESIDENCE. Our reporter paid a visit to Colonel Nagent’s late res! dence, No. 6 Prince street, at ten o'clock lastnight; but, on arriving there, found that the Colonel had left there some time ago, to reside in Eighty-eixth street.

After ® very short interval, and before any of the per- Bons in the upper part of the premises had had time to remove their handsome farnituro—for some of the apart- ments were very expensively furnishod—tho flames Durst out of that part of the bufiding where the offices were held, on the ground floor, and soon were master of the entire edifice, which waa four stories in height, A current of wind blew the flames across Forty-sixth atreet, and goon a number of frame workshops and stables were laze. ARRIVAL OF THE FIREMEN—SUPERINTENDENT KEN- NEDY. Tho firemen bogan rapidly to arrive at the scene of the destruction, and made a few vain efforts to plant their apparatus for the «xtinction of the fire, The crowd, how- ever, refused to let them work, asserting, in positive terms, that they should not extinguish the flames until all the intended work of destruction had been accom- plishea. Atabout this time Mr, Kennedy, the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police, was discovered by some of ‘tho persons assembled on the ground, and very soon ho wag attacked and dragged into a hollow that happens to ‘be near the corner of Forty-sixth street. While he was in the bands of the infuriated peoplo he received very serious injuries, and would doubtless have lost his lifo but for tho mediation of some of tho lees excited portion of the assemblage, Hoe was therefore allowed to be re. moved from the scene, and the crowd once more turned their attention to tho fire, OTHER BUILDINGS IGNITED, ‘The corner house was soon burned down, owin g doubt- Jess to the inflammable nature of tho material within it, and the next building, also four stories high, becamo ignited. Although this building was is no way connected with the Provost Marshal's offices, still it was allowed to burn, As there was a party wall between this second house and tho third from the corner, it was hoped by many that the fames would extend no farther than the second building; but after an interval of time it was found that the third house was also ablaze, CHIEV ENGINEBR DECKER. Mr. Decker, the Chief Engineer of the Firo Department, now appeared to think the destruction had gono far enough, and he therefore mounted a table, or some other similar article of furniture, and began addressing the angry people. He stated that ho thought that, having destroyed the government buildings, they should not carry their feelings eo far as to injure and destroy the property of private people, whose feelings, perhaps, rather more sympathized with them than otherwise. He spoxe forcibly and to the point, and bis remarks wero well re- ceived on all sides, It was then determined that the fire- men ehould be allowed to try and extinguish the James, and a jull occurred among the excited people. THE POLICE—THE EXCITEMENT AGAIN RISES. The police, unaware of the arrangements with the Ore. men, advanced at this moment with the intention of making @ demonstration, This at once again excited the people, and, fancying that the officers intended to attack, them, they commenced firing stones, brickbats clabs at the police to such an extent that they had to beat a precipitate retroat, the crowd following clorely after them.. Of course several mon and offcera became seriously burt, and when the now enraged people saw any of their companions bleeding they at once made for nome one or other of the retreating officers, Several of the latter were felled by stones, and others defended thomselves with their revolvers When any ove particu. Jar officer war marked out separate parties would pass up neighvoring streets to the one by which the officer was retreating and try to bead him off. At last, ‘weary with the chase, the people returned to the burning Dulidings, and the wounded were taken to the various doctors ip the vicinity. AN OLD LADY BURT.

For some time the flames resisted the opporing clement, but finally were subdued, and the crowd moved to other 08. A large number of persons, onlookers and others, picked Up portions of the broken telegraph wire to keep as tro- phiee of this particular occasion. Some transformed the wire into the shape of walking canes and other articles whereby they could easily carry them away without giv- ing offence THE MAIN CAUSE OP TROUBLE. From the conversation of those around our reporter learned that the principal cause of the outbreak was tho idea that the draft was an unfair one, inasmuch as the rich could avoid it by paying $300, while the poor man, who ¢ greenbacks,’’ was compelled to go vo the war, THE NINTH DISTRICT, M1 Partic rs of the Operationsin This Vicinity=The Attack by the Military— Burning of B g*—Terrib Thrilling Scenes—Fights with the Pas ee, &e., he, To describe the ecenes which took piace at the Provost Marshal's headquarters, and in the streets and vicinity adjoining, yesterday, would take volumes.

Perhaps the members of tho police fagee in thia vicinity suffered more than any other clans. Aa there were but fow of them at any given point, they were at the mercy of the crowd and received more rough teeatment, A mont touching tragedy took placo in Forty-second street, Tesulting in the death of two persons, one of whom, wo &ro vorry to say, was a woman, A policeman fired into the crowd at that locality, being im @ somewhat danger- ous position, the ball, it waa said, entering the breast of ® woman and killing her instantly. The officer was then energetically attacked; bare of iron, large sticks and other weapons dealt him heavy blows, and, bleeding from Almont every pore, the fated man ruahed ito a vacant lot; but bofore be had gone far a bail lodged in tho back part of bis head, whem he fell to the grouna. Ho was foon Aftor taken to St, Luke's Hospital. There is no hope entertained of bis recovery. Another policeman, n sergeant in the ward, secreted himself ino house in Forty-second street, but, beiwg for reted out by the crowd, was assailed and beaten about (bo head and back until he was nearly killed. A body of thirty policemen, however, here chargod upon the crowd and rescued tho sergeant from bis dangerous position. Thoro wore alxo quite a number of there cases, but at this writing it i# impossible to refer to but one or two of these melancholy occurrences. TEE CROWD MOVES TO OTHER WORK, After the policemen and military had been dixposed of the crowd turned thelr attention to the work of destroy~ ing prominent buildings in the vieinity. The flames were spreading rapidly from the headquarters where they had been started, and now enveloped the two neighboring houses. ‘This fact seemed to incite the multitude to pro coed with othor work of a similar nature, and they imme. diately proceeded to the Bull’a Head Hotel, Bituated tn Forty third street, near Lexington SCEXES AT THE BURNING OF THE BULL'K MEAD 110+ TEL-—IT 18 COMPLEFELY GUTTED AND THEN BET ON FIRE, RTO. On filing from Third avenue into Forty-third street, where tho Bull's Head Hotel is situated, the crowd baited immediately in fromt of thatestabliahment , and cries of “Fire it, fire it,” were clamored sloud, while prepara tions were made with crowbars apa pickazes, with which some were armed, to burst open the doors. Theso Preparations were hardly thought ¢ wien » number of those who seemed to bo loaders leaped upan the stoup, and with one or two biows eemt tho ball door fying from off its hinges. Thoro was grand rush then made {nto tho house , and several began to belp thomecives to tho articles which were profusely scettefed s»vund. After this part of the programme had been properly gone throwgh with, and nearly every articlo which ‘was in any manner portable eppropriated atorch wae applied, and the devouring clement soon swept its course from top to bottom, When the @rowd saw that thie portion of their work had bece acostmpilshed, thay wonded their way tn the direction ofyLexington avenue. BURNING OF THE COLORRD ORPHAN ASYLUM—DREAD- FUL SGBMBA, BTC. As soon as the Ball’e Head Hutel bad received the courtesies of the crowd, tlisir next destination was the Colored Urphan Asylum, on Lexington avenue, near Ferty- third street, The crowd had swelled to an immonse number at this locality, and went ywofersionelly to work in order W destroy the building, and, at the samo time, 10 mako appropriation of anything of value by which they might aggrandize themseives, About four hundred entered thé house at the tine, and funmediately proceeded to pitch out beds, chairs, tabler, and overy species of furuiture, which were eagerly seed by the crowd below, and carried off When ail was taken, the house wes then set on fire, aod shared Ube fate of ibe others. scattering it around the floor, applied a light to the same, and soon the whole building was in Hames, THE TELEGRAPH WIRES CUT. After setting fire w the headquarters the crowd pro- Ceoded to eut tbe telegraph wires. For this purjore large axes were provided, and soon tho wires hung dangling from their poles, This waa done evidently in order to prevent any communication with other places relative to the work which was then going on. PROGRESS OF THE FIRE—TUB RNGINEA ARRIVE, The fire, which was originated at the headquarters, goon spread to the adjacent buildings, Nos. 675 and 679, and goon they, too, were euveloped fn flames. It was then that Engino No, 33 and Hose 53 arrived at the scene, The crowd gave them @ bint that their services wero not required, and they immediately removed their apparatus from the ground, The buildings destroyed at this time ‘were Nos. 675,677 and 679 Third avenue, No, 675 was occupied by Mr. Robert Pettigrew av a carringe factory; No. 677 was the Provost Marshal’s headquarters of the district, and No, 679 was occupied as @ lager bier saloon, the upper portion of which wag occupied as @ tenement bouse. ‘The stenes outside at this time it wonld be imposalb' for a pen to adequately describe in @ limited space. ‘The flames shot up with amazing rapidity, and the erowd, ‘as they viewed the scene, cheered and expressed their ap- probation. THE BPFORTS OF THR VOLICH AT THIS TIME. To the credit of the police, it may here be sald that they sfood Out manfully and did all in their power to controt the multitude, But they were soon overpowered, both {nside and outside, and each one recorved a most ‘thorough beating at the bands of the crowd. Thero wore not, pro- Dably, more than ten policemen present at tho time, and it was evidently absolute feily for them to make even ap attempt at resistance. THE PEMALES IN THE ATTACK. Prominent among those who made the first attack, and who also urged on their relatives and acquaintances in order to carry on the work of demolition, were quite o largo number of women, These latter were also armed principally with bricks and stones, which they used with much precision in gending them through tho windows, and aiming them at tho heads of those who made any show of resistance to those who were engaged in carrying out the work of destruction. THE CROWD RETIRES. As soon as it was perfectly certain that everything in connection with the headquarters was given up to the de- vouring element, which wag now leaping in Mery streaks to the houses in the immediate vicinity, the crowd began to express an intention to go on the move.
