8 THE DRAFT. CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. ‘the dreadful confusion it was impossible to ascertain whether they were among the aszailanis or mere spec Savors. ‘The courage of the defenders of the building, however, @id not last long. They did not wait for a second assault, Dot fled through the entrance on Twenty-first stfeet. The policemen were the first to run, it is said, dropping their rifles apd batons. Twelve of the workmen of the Duilding next took to their heels, leaving only four men with arms in their hands to guard the building, ‘The assailing party withdrew for a few minutes after ‘the firet assault, and fired stones, &., at the windows, Beoing no sign of resistance on the part of the defenders, tho people soon made a second attack, burst into the build- img, and then followed a scene of indescribable excite- ment. Everything in the building was devoted to ruin, Guos were seized, and cartridges and caps; aud after the people considered themselves fully supplied they took the remainder of the arms, smashed them, threw them from tue windows into the street, and then Sred the building, A poor man standing in the street bad his skull frac- ‘tured by one of the muskets thrown out of the window. Be was killed instantly. ‘Two of the workmer. belonging to the building leaped from a four story window, and, it ie supposed, were killed, ‘The building was reduced to ashes about six o'clock in the evening. THE BURNING OP TWO MANSIONS ON LEXINGTON AVENUE. Among the distressing occurrences of the day we have to record an unexpected yet lamentable scene in Lexing- ton avenue. The people, infuriated to an alarming de- gree, having reason to suppose that a policeman was endeavoring to escape punishment at their hands, made a rush at and came up with him in Lexington avenue, Seeing that he was being determinedly pursued by the crowd, and observing the iron gate of a basement pen, he rushed in to escape from the wrath of his pursuers, The inner door, however, was closed, and the ‘policeman could not obtain entraoce. The women in the ‘upper part of the house, hearing the knecks of the officer at the door, and seeing the excitement from the windows, began to cry out ‘For God's sake do not wpen the door for the house will be destroyed!” This ‘exclamation seems to have given a new idea to the crowd; for goon a heavy shower of stones, brickbats and all other kinds of missiles began. Wo may mention that Khe house so assailed belonged to Mr. William Turner. The windows were amashed, the furniture broken and pitched through the apertures, valuable pictures and a Jibrary of choice books demolished, and in short every- Abing on which the crowd could lay hands was literally torn to pieces. Those articles that were too ponderous to be easily removed were committed to the flames im front of the building. The family silver plate, to the estimated valuo of $2,000, was also subjected to a similar fate. Tocap the climax and conclude the picture of de- ‘vastation, the house itself was fired. This was between two and three o’clock. The number of the house was 44 Lexington avenue. Jt is as useless as unnecossary to do- gcribe the painful scenes that ensued. The lady of the house, with her young children, and followed by her servants, fied wildly and in terror from the ravaging.and womerciful element that was rapidly consuming her home. There were none to aid her at this moment, as po attack was expected in this quarter. The police ‘were ail woll employed elsewhere, and the firemen in the Beighborhood did not interfere. At three o’clock this. Pouse and the one immediately adjoining were envoloped in flames, and hissing ana burning with great violence, What became of the policeman endeay- ering to escape is not positively known. Probably he got pately off in the midst of the excitement. The ruined Families tied for succor to the nearest district station Douse, where they were cordially received, and every Pifort made to relieve their severe affliction. EXCITEMENT IN SFRING STREET—A NEGRO SHOOTS A WHITE MAN, ETC. ‘During the afternoon a disturbance took place in Spring. street between a negro and a white man about the draft- Jug troubles up town. The discussion ripened into blows, pon the colored man produced a pistol and shot the white man in the groin, rendering injuries from which Mis reared he cannot recover. The negro immecditely fed aftes discharging bis pistol; but he was wildly pi r- pued by an excited crowd of the people. The crowd iid mot, however, succeed in overtaking the negro, but out of vengeance for their disappointment in this parti- enlar they attacked several colored people whom they jaet, and severely injured them. THE EIGHTH DISTRICT. ames of the Conscripts in the Twenty- second Ward=—Tht Draft Suddenly {Btopped, &e. *% ‘Yesterday morning at ten o'clock the draft commenced $ the Eighth district, and was witnessed Dy a large au- lence.

On their arrival the first attack was made on the enrolling office, No. 1,190 Broadway, second door from the corner of Twenty-ninth street, then store after store on that block between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-njnth streets, ransacked the stores, throwing the valuable property into thestrect, which was as rapidly carried away by those outside. Clubs and stones were used in profusion, then one building after the other were deliberately fired, and in the space of two hours the whole block was burned to the ground, nnmbering ten stores. ‘The block was built of brick and was three sto- ries above the stores, The whole of the upper part wag occupied by Mrs. Sumner as a boarding house, The con- fusion and terror manifested by the boarders can bo more easily imagined than described. ‘The stores were occupied by the following persons:— Mr. Quimby, combs, &&. H. Sarles, boots and shoes. Victor Magne, boot maker. My. Benedict, papor hangings. ‘Newman, Onderdonk & Caprop, hardware, Mr. Jewett, jewelry. 4. Brady, liquor store. In addition to the above there were two carpenters’ shops, a plumber’s shop and a shoe shop destroyed on Twenty-eighth street. This block of buildings is estimated at about sixty thousand dollars. SEVENTH AVENUE ARSENAL. em. Rumors of an Attack on that Building— Defensive Preparations—Troops Under Arms and Cannon Placed in Seventh Avenuc—Intesesting Details, d&c., &c. From an early hour yesterday morning rumors bad Deen in circulation throughout the city that the seizure of the Seventh avenue armory was meditated by tho people. The large quantity of arms stored in the build- ing wee said to be the prize aimed at, The building was under the command of Colonel Henry Moore, command- ‘ant of the Forty-seventh regiment New York Volunteers. In the morning Major Seeley, of the Tenth regiment New York State militia, arrived with a detachment of men belonging to that regiment. During the day Captain Franklin arrived from Fort Hamilton with a detachment of regulars belonging to the Twelfth regiment. A de- tachment of the Third regular infantry, under command of Captain Wilkins, arrived from Governor's Island. Do- tichments from the Invalid corps, under command of Captain Lieber, Captain Grabam and Lieutenant J. W. Powell, Jr., and a number of volunteer cavalry, undet command of Captain Lockwood, also arrived. The mili- tary force within the building at nine o’clock last evening numbered about one thousand men. Several twelve-pounder mountain howitzers were Drought from Governor’s Island. Two of them, loaded with grape and canister, were placed in Seventh avenue in readiness to command the appreach to the arsenal, either from up or down town. The others were placed Just within the gates of the arsenal ready for instant ser- vice, Inside the Arsenal there was considerable excite. ment and bustle. Major General Sandford and Colonel Nugent arrived at the building about four o’clock. Prompt means were at once taken to perfect the defensive mea. sures which had been in progress during the day. Dr. James W. Powell, formerly surgeon in Hooker’s division, was appointed acting surgeon in charge. * The following officers reported to General Sanford, and offered their services to him in any capacity where they might be required. Colonel Postwaithe, Third regiment Huzzars; Colone! W. R. Farrell, Assistant Commiseary of the State; Major R. L. Shelley, Captain Graham, and Dr, Shelley, of the Navy; Dr. J. F. Smith, Lieutenant Regan, Lieu- Same Demarest, Major Fearing, apd Heury Livermore, op _s s Saarinteat of thé Afdeaal, “2 +> ‘About eight o'clock in the evening lines of sentries wero placed across Thirty-fifth and Thirty ¢ixth streets, doth at Sixty and Eighth avenues. Tho pedpié, both men and women, collected and joked with the soldiers, Occa- sionally they pressed a little too close on the line, when the officer in ebarge would order the street to be cleared for a fow yards. They fell back with considera- ble grumbling and swearing from the men and faint sereams from the women. The regular street trafic was not, however, interfered with. About this time Col, Moore, at his own request, was relieved from command of the Arsenal, and Col. Nugent was appointed to fill that position, In company with Gen. Sandford, he then made every disposition to resist ‘fan attack from whatever point it should be made, ‘Atnine o'clock scouts were sent out over different Geo C Clark, 18 Gramerey pk ¥ C Donnell 2d av Henry Butler’ 44 E 21st st parte of the c ‘Gors to report in an hour's time. a esau Numbers of young’ men gwere coustantly arriving, who roported themselves toyOol, Nugent anu Sneed Wels wer. vices to assist in defence of the Arsgpal” £"jo I} arrived at the Arséfiil about , ie summoned from Albany by half pas telograph Several of the scouts returned at ten o’clock and ro- ported everything quiet in the neighborhood of Sixth and Fighth avenues and in all the streets of the upper part of the city which they had visited.

A number of the troops were also sent down to Mulberry street, to be of service should they be required to quell any disturbance in the Jower part of the city, It was nearly midnight before our Toporter left, and at that hour there was every indication that Colonel Nugent and his command would remain un- disturbed through the night. WHAT THE AUTHORITIES DID. General Harvey Brown in Command of the Troops—Generals Sandford and Wool tn Consultation with the Mayor= Proclamations by the Mayor, &c. About one o'clock yesterday afternoon Major Generals ‘Woo! and Sandford had a consultation with Mayor Opdyke rolative to the troubles in the city.

A detachment of United States regulars were at once sent to the Seventh Avenue Arsenal, which, it was under- stood, would be attacked. Oolonel Henry Moore was directed to take command at that place, and press all the men to help him that he could find, Ho was directed to load bis howitzers and placo them in position, and if apy attack was made tbe injunction ‘was given him not to spare powder or canister. ’ Colone! Wm, H. Allen was directed to proceed to Cen- tral Hall, in Second street, and take charge of all re- turned volunteers who were willing to aid in keeping the peace of the city. A detachment of the Tenth regiment are on duty at the City Arsenal, in White street, at which place George Murphy, the keeper, and his force have made prepara- tions to resist an attack. Cannon are mounted and in position, guarding al! ap- proaches to the Seventh Regiment Armory, THE POLICE YESTERDAY. Incidents and Accidents, &c. ‘The Metropolitan Police had a dangerous and arduous task to perform yesterday. All the men ;who could be spared from the different precincts were assembled at the Headquarters, in Mulberry street, In the Nineteenth precinct, Captain Galen T, Porter was under the necessity of sending for reinforcements at an early hour. A large squad was instantly ordered out and proceeded to the scene of the disturbance. Superintendent Kennedy also left for the same place, From what could be learned, Mr. Kennedy drove up town in a light wagon and arrived at 677 Third avenue about half-past eleven o’clock, While stopping his horse in front of the prem- ises fabout @ dozen fmen called out “There comes Ken- nedy.”? The crowd instantly made a rush for the wagon, and dragged Mr. Kennedy to the ground. For a few moments it seemed doubtful whether the unfortunate man would ever leave their clutches alive, He was jumped on, kicked, struck with clubs and sticks, and dragged over the pavement. Some one cried out : ‘ To the pond with him.”? Another rush was made and the crowa Were in the act of bearing him off to a pond in the vicinity, when a squad of policemen, aided by a number ofsciti- zens, confronted the crowd,jand rescued Mr. Kennedy. ‘He was then almost insensible. His friends placed him im a wagon, and he was driven rapidly down town to headquartors. Up to this time the policemen had not been molested by the crowd. On witnessing the rescue of the Superin- tendent they turned on his subgrdinate officers, anda general melee ensued. The police were powerless to re- sist the onslaught of the mob. Clubs were snatched from their hands and ussd by the crowd in beating the un- |. fortunate policemen about the head and body. Sergeant Brackett, of the Twenty-first precinct, saved himself by his coolness and sang-froidg The crowd pressed him closely until he retreated against a fence. Then folding his arms he very composedly told them he did not think he could manage them all; but if they chose to stone and beat him, they ‘had better go abead, This exhibition of coolness and courage on the part of an unprotected man took the crowd com- pletely by surprise, and after exchanging a few words among themselves, they informed the Sergeant that the sooner he made himself scarce the better, an intimation he was not slow to obey. From the many reports we heard yesterday, it appears that the policemen did not act with their usual discretion. ‘To the most casual observer it must have been apparent ‘that the force on the ground was wholly inadequate to overawe the crowd or quell the disturbance. When Chicf Engineer Decker had obtained permission for the hose to play on the fire, about thirty Metropolitans made a rush at the crowd, with what object could not be clearly ascer- tained. They were instantly surrounded and overpowered. After being deprived of their clubs they were mercilessly beaten and trampled on. The following is as correct a list, as far as we are able to obtain, of the injured men belonging to the police force:— Of the Twenty-ninth precinct, officer Swainson was struck on the head and severely cut. Officer Holmes was very seriously injured by being cut on the bead. Officer Morrison had his skull fractured. Officer McCarty was shot and is not expected to live. Officer Fleming was se riously wounded on the head, and is not expected to re- ‘cover. Officers Henderson, Swainson, Lee, Mcintyre and Leaycraft-were alf badly injured about the head. Of the Eighth precinct, Sergeant Ellison is severely ‘wounded about the head. Officer Charles R. Law was seriously injured about the head, Officer Nolan Walsh had his head badly cut. Of the Fifteenth precinct, officer Sutherland was badly cut and brujsed. Officer Philhps badly injured about the head and body, Ofer Bennett badiy injured about the head. ret PUI. In addition to the names given above, it is supposed. that there are betwoen twenty and thirty others who were more or Yess injured and sought refuge in private houses. During the afternoon acrowd of women gathered round the different station houses and called upon the captains to remove the wounded men from their dwell- ings, as the people had expressed a determination to burn down any house in which a policoman was barbored. Several of our reporters paid visits t tbe different police mepeai et lke ty, last night, th Owing (0 the evnitement orev {ing VC was Impossible to ascertain any particulars concerning the deaths, wounded and missing incident to the extraordinary occasion. Amongst the casnaltics reported on the occasion was that of Mrs. Crawford, who resides between Thirty- seventh and Thirty-cighth streets, The old lady was out walking between the hours of eleven ana twelve o'clock, ‘when she received a blow on the bead from some Instru- ment which completely prostrated her, and left her in- sensible for some time. Dr. E. D. Connery happened at the time to bg near at hand, and used all the necessary restoratives, which proved eo effectual that the old lady was pronounced to be quite safe, POLICE CASUALTIZS—NAMES OF SOME OF THE IN- JURED. A large number of persons were injured during the rush after the police; but during the excitement it was dificult to collect anything like a reliable list, We, however give a few of the names:— 1,—Officor Patrick Morrison, of the Twenty-ninth pro struck onthe right side of the head with a ~. sro “@ carotid artery and otherwise injuring stone, cutting \.. ery seriouslye re somocr Fawin Bosine, Fittconth precinct, sever. p woun! ack of the head, vory badly.

A few groans, @ few cheers, and some ‘Hi bi's” left one at a distance in doubt of what ‘was going On or intended; but a closer acquaintance with the feeling of the crowd demonstrated clearly enough that & very rough demonstration was in contem- plation against the said office. A gradual ebullition of hostility first among a parce} of boys in front, and gradu- auly extending to the rougher and more determined spirits behind them, broke out into a regular attack. A prehmi- nary and premonotory crash of glass was heard, at the sound of which numbers of lookers-on immediately stam- peded as if the neighborhood haa become already too hot fer them. But crash followed crash, dours were rent open, and all the sounds of a speedy demolition of counters and furniture inside told that an entrance had been offected, ‘and that the work of destruction under many hands was going on. er ‘The word passed around among the more thoughtless, « How are you, ?ribune?”” but amongst’ many others, the suggestive exclamation arose—*Where will this all end?’ “That office 1s doomed.” ‘The men up stairs have all fied.’? Whether the men up stairs had fled or not is a question; it is, at all events, rare for brave men to fly at the first pre- monition of danger, and very rarely for men of their profession, It was, however, clear enough that they kept their lights burning; for, while all the rest of the building was enveloped in darkness, the composing rooms were still all alight. To the first body of the more active participators in the stone throwing and window breaking operations were added, with the rush of a hurricane, an immense body from the direction of Chatham street, who joined in im- mediately, and the work of destruction inside the building ‘was evidently culminating to what appeared must be the final result of the continued attack—the complete destruc- tion of the Trilune Buildings. The first stone was thrown at a quarter to eight o’clock. Events follow rapidly when there appears no check to unbridled license, In a very few moments the lower portion of the building was taken possession of. In almost as few moments the police appeared, walking up leisurely through Nassau street; following them pretty closely, and as leisurely, came a second body of about equal numbers, both num- bering not more than about a hundred and fifty men. They halted between Beekman and Spruce streets; there Doth joined and formed in column at the magic signal of the “Baton on the Flags.” The contents of the lower part of the Duilding were then flying through broken windows and gaping doors, hundreds of ready hands aiding in the work of destruction. This halt of the police had‘a purpose. But a very brief time elapsea from the forming of the column in Nassau street when an answering signal on the flags. was heard coming from some distance infront. The same moment the whole body of police in Nassau street rushed forward in a charge, baton in hand, some of the forward men raising the cheer ing cry of ‘Hi, hi,” which wasas cheeringly answered by numbers of people on the sidewalks and door fronts, and by clapping of hands as they rushed passed. Two Dodies of police on the same instant charged from two other points converging on the very centre of the crowd through whom they dashed, scattering them like chaff before the wind. Down they fell by dozens in the street—the fellows who had got into the office of the Tribune tumbling over each other like merry Andrews as they hurried to escape from the scene of their own depredatiens, often stricken down as they rose by the touches of the inevitable baton-Nemises, which mer- cileasly descended upon¢hem, an avater they had at first not the sightest idea of, Instantaneously the streets were eleared. Two shots were fired, after the first of which one man ‘was seen to fall, but none stayed to pick him up and ho was carried off by the police. ~ ‘Several were injured, and many persons this morning have reason to grieve for the idle and culpable’ curiosity which leads men to give countenance to popular gather- ings upon such occasions as we hayeto note in connec- tion with yesterday. In a littie time after the first cl@rance of the streets police squads cleared all the streets for some distance leading to the 7ribune office, and up fo the hour of going to press no further demon- stration was made against it. The Pifth Avenue Hote! Rumor, with her numerous tongues, circulated the Teport through the city during yesterday that the Fifth Avenue Hotel was threatened by serious danger. How, or through what means so absurd a canard arose it is scarcely necessary, bere to state. It is sufficient to say that the Fifth Avenue Hotel was as prosperous and quiet yesterday as it bas aiways been; and when our reporter got upthere (as ten o’clock last light) a busy and active trade was in progress in every part of the establishment, ‘without any apparent chance of interraption. In fact, this rumor is but an idle joke; for there is no more liberal or popular hotel in the city than the Fifth Avenue, and, considering its location, it is about the last that the working people would think of attacking without any eason, The Movements of the Governor Are for the present wrapped in obscurity. There are reports of military preparations of a formidable kind and of the introduction of overwhelming quantities of troops into the city. But whence they are to come and what they are to do we are not now permitted to say, The Third Av Depot. It was reported that the different buildings cunnected with the Third Avenue Railroad, at Sixty-fi{th street, would be attacked, and tbat threats had been made that all the establishment would be set fire to.

Although the fighting scemed about over, and the police had, in good measure, gone to the central office, in obedi- ence to @ call from President Acton, yet there was a latent feeling which manifested iteelf in numerous ways. Little knots of people congregated on the street corners, and talked of the events of the day; women and children gathered before the houses, and seemed deeply interest- ed. There was but one opinion expressed, so far as our reporters could hear—that the people were right in de. stroying the Provost Marshal's heacquarters, The women in particular were most decided in their expressions, One on the Fighth avenue,near Tweat ythird street, who seemed quite intelligent, held forth loudly. She said that her husband was of more service to his family at home than he would be in thearmy, At any rate, if he must fight, she would sooner see him fight in New York than in Virginia, The bystanders loudly applauded ths femi nine speech. The scenes near the smouldering ruins cn Broadway and Third avenue were quite interesting. Large crowds were gathered on the sidewalks, and looked on with @ self-satisfied air, and they included many who, frem ‘heir tone and dreee wong evidentiy of the well to do mene en AS narticularty was clas in society, tn Derr : this the care, There was fo hoise, no con- fusion. People came and went, remarking that they hoped this exhibition of feeling woula be a warning to the administration, The laboring men who thronged the neighborhood.were very quiet, Some acknowledged that they had had a hand ia the work, but seomed en- tirely at ease, ‘The police did not attempt to interfere; im fact, the few who were present seemed more for orna- ment than use, In the Fifth Avenue Hotel there was an immense crowd all the evening of the upper tan, They wore about as decided in their expressions as their poorer neighbors outeide, who seemed to think that Genoral Me- CleNan was present, and kept calling for him. ‘The fashionables oursed the ab oniste, and when the nows of an attack on the Tribune office came expressed their great approbation, “It has been a curse tous, and the main cause of our troubles,’ saidone, ‘That's #0,’ repeated others, and, to settle the matter, nomerous cocktails wore called for, It might be impertinent to say 80, but the bon tom seemed somewhat under the weather. Thoy were particularly severe upon the admi- nistration, and very bard upon the “dammed aboiltion- iete.”” ‘This was the state of fooling ent of doors up town Inst Night. All places of business .were closed, excepting here and there a drinking saloon, and these were patronized to an extent unprecedented, A NEGRO we aa mt CLARKSON Intense excHament prevatied on the weet side of the town yesterday afiernoon, News had reached tho people that their fellow citizens up town were tn open resistance to the draft,aad ia consequence intense ex. citement everywhere prevailed. The feeling was, asin all other sections, very severe against the negroes, and several were badly beaten, At last, towards night, ne negro got into difficulty with a white man; loud words followed, and finally the crowd eet upan the black man. He alittle ways and finally drew a pis- tol and discharged its contents into the crowd, The ball Wok effect in the breast of one of the assailants, who fell forward as if killed. ‘The negro, terrified at the act, took to his Jegs and ran with all possible speed towards Hudson street, the affray having taken place in Cornelia street, where be lived. When near Hudson street he was overtaken and severely beaten, He was then stripped of all his clothes, except- ing the shirt, and a rope was loudly demanded, One was Procured from @ store near by—a stout clothesline—and in the most artistic fashion it was attached to the nogro’s neck. ‘The other end was then slung over a tree, and, amid the piteous cries of the unfortunate wretch, he was drawn up for several feet. Seme one then set his shirt on fire, and the sight presented was a frightful one. The body remained hanging until late last night, sur- rounded by @ dense crowd of people, who shouted and yelled, pursuing every negro who made bis appearance. Mr. Acton, hearing of the aflair, gave orders to have tho body cut down, and this was dono late,a large force being detailed for the purpose. ‘MEBTING OF EX-OFFICERS AT THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMORY. ’ A meeting of several hundred ex-officers of volunteer nd militia regiments was held at tho Seventn Regiment Armory last evening, for the purpose of eflecting an or- ganization to assist the authorities in quelling the present disturbance.
