Stare or New Yons, -WeaPORARY Ov COMMANDER-IN-CHIED, New Yorx Orrr, July 24,1863. ‘The Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the military Serces of the State of New York, upom the return of those Feximents of the National Guard who, upon his order, with a promptness and alacrity whieh excited the admi- fation of the whole country, went forth on a sudden call Of danger to other States, expresses to ‘them his thanks for their gallant and successful service, which has been alike honorable to them aod to the State whose name and arms they are proud to bear. . By tbe ready and vigorous assistance thus rendered the boll of Penusylvania was relieved from the presence of the invader, and aid was given to the national armies which.holped to.win the victory at Gettysburg. ‘The people of vhe State of New Youk will remember ‘with pride and honor with praise their fellow citizens ‘who hadprepared themselves ‘for this great’ work by a dong period of drill and discipline at a time when general encouragement-was withbeld. It required no little moral @ourage to upbold.our militia system when it bad fallen foto disrepute; but this Bas been done by the citizen gol- diery of New Youk,who have wobly maintained their or- ganization, and by, their example and zeal revived a mar- tial spivit throughout the State, which we must regard as. eur surest protection in the hour of danger. It has shown the utility of that section of our national constitution which declares that a ‘well regulated militia be- fmg necessary for the eecurity of a free Stato, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not. be infringed.” So careful were our fathers upon this point that they exempted tne musket from seizure and sale, before they placed the tools of the mechanic and the implements of husbandry beyond the reach of the ereditor's.grasp. They.confided the safety of the republic to the bands of its citizens, and secured to them tho musket, as they did the bailot, for the defence of their rights and the protection of their interests. Time has @emonstrated their wisdom. If our mihtia system js allowed to decay all our insti- tutions are weakened, The militia is the main strength Of the Executive to maintain the laws, put down insur Fection and:to-repel invasion. Within thisty days the uniformed militia of thix State have goue forth to assist their brethren beyond our Umite. and bave returned to put down riot, arson aad robbery at home; they have aided in defending tbe na. thonal flag and honor upon the battle flelds of other States, and, that done, their tread upon the pavements of this great city brought back a sense of security to its disturb @d and endan)eved inhabitants, It would nether be just to these gallant soldiers nor true to the occasion, in commending their prompt obed!- @nce and honorable service, not to add an expression of ‘the gratitude due to them for their just appreciation of @beir constitutional duties and the Jabor and time they Rave given to preparation for their work of usefulness and ‘honor which they have now accomplished. 3 ‘The State of New York bas already furnished two bun @red and twenty-six thousand voluateers to the national @ervice. It now contains within its limits more than three hundred thousand persons liable to service in its militia. ‘The proper organization of this great force will not only reserve tho power amd safety of the State, but enable it te becven more bonefictal in its aid to the nation and to ether Gtates than it bas been heretofore. ‘The several regiments as they return will report to the gommanders of their respective divisions, who will cause thie order to be duly published, and to whom such further ardors will be issued as may hereafter be deemed neces- wary.

Sergeant Young, of the detective force, aided by Mr. Newcomb and other special patrolmen, rendered most effective serviee in arranging the commissary supplies for the large number of police, military, special patrol- men aud destitute colored refugees whose subsistence was thrown unexpectedly'on the department. Thed was arduous and responsible, and was performed witl vigor and fidelity. All the clerks of the department, each in his. sphere, performed @ manly share of the heavy duties growing out of these extraordinary circumstances. The Central Department became a house of refuge for large numbers of poor persecuted colored men, women and children, many of whom were wounded and sick, All of whom were helpless, exposed and poor. Mr. Jonn H. Keyser, with his accustomed philanthropy, vol unteered, ‘and was appointed to superintend these wretched victims.of violence and prejudice and has de- voted unwearied days tothe duty. The pitiable condi- tion of these poor people appeals in the strongest terms to the Christiay charity of the benevolent and humane. fhe ‘members of the force will do an acceptable service by calling the attention to their condition of those who are able and willing to contrrbute in charity to their relief. Arrival of Conscripts im the City. The Troy steamer C.

Jt will be remembered that during the prevalence of the riots in the city last week, an attack was made by the insurgents on a gun factory at the corner of Twenty. second street and Second avenue, and quite a large num ber of rifles which were on storage there were se1zod by the rioters. It was ascertained that at the time of the attack at least three thousand six hundred rifles an d carbines were m the building at the mercy of any persons who chose to remove them. When the Place was recaptured by the police, about six hun dred of these arms were retaken, leaving, as is stated, nearly three thousand still in the hands $f the people, Since then small parties of police baye been searching for these concealed weapons with but little suc cess, as but a few hundred more have been rendered np. tn order, therefore, to obtain ion of the missing ‘arms, it was determined by the police authorities, in con sultation with the military heads, that four expeditions, each consisting of a military and'a potice force should be despatched to scour the disaflected districts of the city and search ai) the suspected dwellings in the neighbor hood for concealed arms and also for stolen property, Ac- cordingly at noon yesterany the expeditionary forces wore got ready and despatched on their mission. Large trucks accompanied each party for the purpose of con veying the recovered property to the police head- Address of the Metropolitan Police Board.

Farly in tbe day the Supermtendent was aseaulted, ervelly beaten, robbed and disabled by the mob which was engaged in burning the Provost Marshal’s office in Third avenue, shus in a manner divarranging the organiza- thon at the Central Department, throwing new, unwonted hod responsibiedaties upon the Board. At this juncture the telegraph wires of the department were cut. and the movement of forces by the railroads pnd stages violently interrupted, interfering seriously with our sccus' means of transmitting orders and poncentrating forces. The militia of the city were absent at the seat of war, Renting the battles ef the nation against treason and seces- + tnd there was uo adequate force in the city for the Brat twelve hours to resist at all points the vast and infa- riated mob. ~~ force was not strong enough in any precinct to head, unaided, against the over- @helming force.

This course was promptly adopted on Mon day bye Shy military were called upon to act in aid of the civil to subdue the treasonable mob, protect Aife and property and restore public order.

Still the moral effect of the movement has been beneficial. No resistance or op- position was showd tothe search of the police, and at some places they were welcomed by the inmates of the houses. The male occupants did not show themeelves in great numbers, though the female portion of the commu. nity appeared in full force, and in some instances at- tempted to stop the progress of the Metropohitans by tne very free use of their tongues, but all to no pui To fearch they camo, and search they would, despite all obstacles. The men kept very reserved, fearful of being recognized ag having heen concerned fn the recent dis- turbances and conilicts between the people and the autho- rities, Under these circumstances the military guard accompanying each detatchment of police searchers was almoet unnecessary, as their services were not called for, although their presence no doubt tended to check any Attempt at opposition. We will now give a history of each of these expeditions in detail:— ‘The first was composed of a section of policemen, under Sergeant Brackett. of the Twenty-firet precinct, accom- panied by the Fifth company of the Seventh regiment New: York National Guard. They were instracted to pass through that portion of the Eighteenth ware 17s be- tween Sixteenth and Twenty -f urth streets and ave- nue and the Fast river, and to enter every # house, and size all the arms, ammunition ead wrslen pro- perty they oeuld find—the military to act os a guard while these operations were going ou.

At between six and seven o'clock that evenil Mathew Powers and another man, not yet arrested, came to the house.

Of this number seventy were from the Twenty-eighth battery New York Volunteer artillery, and thirty trom the Twentieth battery New York Volunteer artillery. On the afternoon ol the 15th instant, Lieutenant Joyce. with @ party of seventeen men from the Twenty-eighth battery, was ordered by Colonel Meyer to proceed to Thirty-second street and seize the arms reported to be stcreted there.
