On the whole, it may be said that the fury of the conscription disturbances has exhausted itself, and that the disposition of the people is undoubtedly once more becoming peaceful. Archbishop Hughes has addressed on important notice “to the men of New York who are now called in many of the papers ioters,” calling upon them to meet him at two Velock this afternoon, in front of his residence, orner of Madison avenue and Thirty-sixth treet.

Despatch from James B. Fry, Provost Suspending Governor Seymour remained most of the day yester- day at the St. Nicholas Hotel. His rooms were crowded nearly ali day, Mayor Opdyke was there the samo as on Wednesday. Senator Morgan also called in the morning, and had a jengthy interview with the Governor, Im- portant developments transpired at the interview, which we do not consider prudent to givo at this time, ‘The Tribune yesterday morning made the statement posi? tively and unequivocally that the admivistration had not postponed the draft, thus neutralizing the efforts of Governor Seymour during the night to quiet the crowd. Gov. Seymour informed our reporter that Col, Nogent, the Provost Marshal, exhibited t> him nd Mayor Updyke yesterday a telegraphic despatch from Col. Fry, the United States Provost Marshal Geveral at Washington, in the following words:— The draft in New York and Brooklyn is suspended.’ This despatch was exbibited to the Governor and Mayor Opdyke before the former wrote the note to Mr. Sloan, President of the Hudson River Railroad, informing him that the draft had deen suspended. Mr. Greeley must bave known the fact of that despatch having been received. If #0, there could possi- bly have been no other motive fer the state- ments made in that paper yesterday morning than a de- sire to incense the disadected crowd, and urge them on in their desperate work of destruction, pillage and plunder. The article of the Tribune yesterday morn- ing bas, in several important points, upset the labors of Governor Seymour. When quiet is once more restored the effect will bo shown by oificial statements Under the statement that the draft bas been suspended the Governor has been able, through an interview with some of the most prominent Germans in the city, to pre- vont that element jining in the bdeliigeront demonstra. tions of the hour, and organize themselves to maintain may aud protect the property in their respective locali Relative to the troubles ih Queens county, Governor addressed a jotter the Joba D. ‘ia.

They were formed into line in Madison avenue, and no doubt did oflicient service during {be night. About three o'clock fate ‘a delegation, heaced by General Walbridgo, waited upon the Governor. The pre- cise nature of their business weare unable to state; but they le’t evidently perfectly satisfied. ‘Several politicians are busy among the infuriated crowd eudeavoring to pacify them Tm several instances they have been # ful,aud if a moro general eflort was made by those elected to office on the democratic reagan be done towards quieting the excited THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS. Scenes at Headquarters. The police headquarters presented the same warlike ap- pearance yesterday, that it has on previous days, The military on guard, the spocial and regular policemen in the neighborhood, all seome: to make an exceedingly in- teresting appearance. Inside, Gen, Brown, now command. ing the troors, bad his headquarters, and numbers of mili- tary geutlemen are continuntly passing to and fro. The Commissary Department, in charge of Sergeant Lotferts, is by po means tho least noticeable feature. Huge piles of andwiches, and great milk cans of coffee, keep the force well supplied with the necessaries of life, and thus pre- Pare, them for their numerous marches against tho crowds whenever notice is given of a threatening assemblage. There are now about eight hundred special policemen om duty, which mikes the total Metropolitan forces pumber early three thousand, Add to this tho enrolled citizens, five thousand mo: and the military ready for duty last night, and there can- not now be a force of lees than twelve thousand ready to protect the pence of the city. This fact, with the addi tional one that in a day or two five thousand more men will be here, makes the authorities feel contident that peace js now quite thoroughly established. ARREST OF JONN U. AXDRRW?. The most noticeable event of the day at headquarters was the arrest of Jobn U. Andrews, who is accused of having harrangued the crowd on several occasions, urging them to deeds of violence, The detective police were potified in the morning that Andrews was concealed in a house at No. 11 Eleventh strect, and officers Dusenborry, Farley, Radford’, Tiemana and MoCvol were detatied to make the captare. They proceeded to the designated place, reaching there about ten o'clock, and, securing admission, Doled the doors, and began to rearch the building. It was not long before Andrews was discovered. The ofll- core told hitm they were (riends, and that the police were bunting him up, advising bim’ to effect an immediate ercaye. He folt extremely grateful for this seemiogly kiod laterposition, and departed with the police. After going with them for a short distance he seemed tmpreseed with the idea that al! was vot right, and ventured the opinion thet he was caged. When pear the headquarters be remarked that he ‘expected as much," and quietly pefora General Trown, who ing questions, but ordered Afr being locked up » crowd when the dis- Andrews said that he was in and several men came to him and He. ous turbances took demanded whether be wax for or against them. of regard for his personal safety was compelled doree tbe proceedings, and theseupon there was x demand for a speech. He dves not remember t] said anything calenlated to causo disturbance, aud believed that he was misunderstood, Andrews repeated the speech that be delivered, as he remembered it, in order w prove the truth of his aesortiow. Many of the men around were highly incensed againat the prisoner, and were with difficulty restrained from the infliction of Personal violence General Brown ordered the prisoner to be removed to Fort Lafayette, and for that purpose handed him over to United States Marshal Murray, who sent him down the bay yesterday afternoon. Un bis way down he expressed rent fear lest the citizens might attack and kil! him, le begged the officers to protect him from violence. None was offered. It is rumored that Andi will bo tried for treason. It is here proper to remark that the prisoner ts goner- ally supposed to be the sume person who addrossed the great Peace Convention at Union square. This ts not so, The gentleman who spoke that time i# ao entirely different person, being a tuch older man, and one not at all likely to get into trouble of this character, The names being similar, and both being from Virginia, bas led wo the mistake. ARREST OF AN ALLPGED RIOTER. Last ovening a tall, stot man, named Michael Moran. ‘was arrested in | wentieth street, near Third avenue, by special officer Fiske, several woidierr and poliermen lay- jag identified him as one of the crowd who on_the day be- fore was engaged in firing upon them The prisoner mare no reatetance, bat came quietly to headquarters in pensession of bis caytors. He was taken before General Brown, who, after Learing,the statements of the officers, io red him to be locked up preparatory to an examina. yj rows AN OFFICER DISMISEED.

A REQUEST TO WITHDRAW THE TROOPS REFUSED. ‘Yesterday afternoon Senators Pradley and Connolly waited upon President Acton, and requested nim to allow the troopa to be withdrawn from tho East side of the city. ‘They pledged themselves, it this were done, that the Pence yg Rricyrtamdoneae should be preserved, and contender milit Presence only led the le to acts of violence. matt i) ee Mr. Acton replied that be was not in command of tho troops, but that with big consent not one should be with. drawn. He referred tho Senators to Gen Brown. Tho General said that ne was in command of the United States forces, and would not be dictated to by any citizen mm regard to the dispusition of the troops, The district was an infected one, and must learn that thore was government to be obeyed. The Senators took the hint and retired. Afterwards Mr, Hitchcock and Mr. Jackson called on the General, and asked that the.troops should be with. drawn from the Jackson foundry, as their presence only tended to keep glive the excitement, which it was ne- cessary to allay. The General replied,’ sball put my soldiers where I please, and no mob shall dictate to me where they are to go.'’ He then sent orders to Colonel Burns to defend the foundry at all hazards, and if a crowd gathered, not to be sparing of his fire. SUPERINTENDENT KENNEDY. Superintendent Kennedy returned to the office yester- day. He isable to walk, but presents a very bad ap- pearance. His face is full of bruises, his eyes yet show the marks of severe blows, and his body is badly scarred. It will be some time betore he is the same he once was. ALL QUIET IN YORKVILLE.

Their Arrival and Seencs Around the Armory—Colon Lefferts Reports to Governor Scymour—Interview Betwe the Governor and Colonel, &c. Yesterday mornicg at four o'clock the Seventh regiment New York State National Guard arrived in this city, and, avter reporting to Governor Seymour at the St. Nicholas Hotel, Colonel Lefferts headed his mento the armory, at Tompkins market. Although they arrived at so early an hour, the news having spread, the armory was soon crowded with their friends and relatives. The men ap- peared much fatigued, and had to leave Frederick with- out their camp equipage, baggage or knapsacks. Conse- quently they came home in ‘light marching order.’ This arose from a special order from General Halleck to Colonel Lefferts to take tho ae on from Fort city, The particulars of that interview are pot to made public, but it is sufficient to state that the members of the regiment are to be kept at the armory, and ready for any wer gen Bad may require their action, The ith when absent at the seat of war under went arduocs duties, acd their domiciliary comforta when at Frederick were the hard ground for a bed and huts of straw for a shelter. ‘The interview between the Governor and Colonel hav- jug terminated at twelve o'clock, the men were soon or- ‘to prepare for parade. FIRST WARD, There was no serious disturbance tp this ward yester- day. Everything passed off very quietly with the excep- tion of a gang of boys, who attempted to create a row by throwing stones into the,establishment of A, Comstock, 41 Broadway. They were promptly dispersed by the police. A rumor was provalent that an astack would be made ov the building 65 Broadway, but up to a late bour last night no attempt had been mado, Alderman Fox, aided by the firemen of the Seventh and Kighth districts, were on duty to render any assistance to the police in quelling any’ tot or outbreak that might occur. ‘The shee store of Wm. Rosner, 101 Greenwich street, was suked about six o'clock last bight of most of ite stock, consisting of boots and shoes. He was badly beaten and the building fired, but by the prompt inter ference of the police it was soon extinguished, Nothing whatever occurred in this precinct, AM was quict up to a late hour, no arrests being made by the | police.
