With the remnant of the division avd the first of these reinforcements from General Wool, detachments wore sent to ail parts of the city, and the rioters were every where beaten and dispersed on Monday afternoon, Mun- day night and Tuesday morning; und the peace of the city would have been entirely restored in a few hours but ior the inte ference Brovet Brigadier Gevoral who, in disobedience of the orders of General Wool, withdrew tho detachments belonging to the general government, and thereby #0 muaterinlly diminished the force under the orders of the Major Gene ral as to limit most seriously his operations against the rioters.

Prior to this inter‘erence, detachmou's wore went by the Major eueral to Yorkville, Webb's shipyard, Second avenue, and various other places on the oast side of the city: but after General Brown withdrew his troops he assumed control of the United States forces on the cast side of the city, and wis aided by the whole police force, except a small detach- ment ubder Captain Walling, Notwithstanding these iifionttion, the north and west sides of the city. from Fourteenth street to Fifty-nioth siroet, and from Fifth avenue to the river, were ef. fectually cleared of rioters by detachments from the Araet Tn Fama Forty second, Twenty-cighth, Twenty-ninth, Thirtioth, Thirty first and Thirty serond Ninth, Tenth and Elev- eoth avenues, mos were attacked, and in every instauce dofeated aud dispersed with great loxa, No blank cartridges were issued to or tised by any troops under the orders of the Major Genoral, ‘the gan works in Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, avd tho verlous manninctorios throatened by the rio'ers, were fully protected, and numerous fires in buildings occupied by colored Legs of and others were extinguished by the iromen, alter the rioters were dispersed.

Sapporing, for instance, that five thousand of our citizens should be enrolled twice. and the administration should cail for one out of five of al! enrolie! in this city, that alone would jocrease the quota of the city One thousand men. Ig that right’ is it just? ‘There is still another point. The entire list of men he tween the aves specified in the order have been taken down as fighting men, many of the number are totaly disabled, not only from military service or even manual tabor, yet they are all counted in the list of figuting tion, and the quota is made up acerding'y. ut of @ given number. All know that there large number of aliens in thi eity not sub > military doty, never having filed their intention of becoming citizens, yet they are on the list and counted to make up the number of fivbting populasion. There in Probably no one point in the whole country where this will affect the list to any Kuch extent as it docs in this city. The State authorities, therefore, have called alien. tion to this point, and insist that the draft shall be post- poned, at least until thia 18 remedied. If the administration corrects all of these errors it will take several days yet to get ready for the draft, and per: haps two or three weeks. It will be no small job to arrange al! the difficulties. In the meantime the Govern’r has sent, and will Kend, an additional pledge to raise the whole quota ot the State by enlistments. How the ad. ministration will act in regar! to all this—whether they will follow the ruinovs advice of the radical orgins, or that of the Governor and common sense, remains yet to be seen. We have beeo assured that more bittor fecling exists at Waehington now than at the time of the recent trouble, Another delegation will go on in a day or two, and lay aaditional facts before the Washington au- thorities. and it is to be hoped that an ainiosble arrange- ment will be made, Governor Seymour was out of the city yesterday. fiverythinu. however, was quiet, General having. & day or two before, nipped in the bud a scheme of the radicals to bring about a conflict between State and na- tional authorities, and Governor Seymour quietly put his foot upon a scheme coming from the other extreme, bav- ing the ame object in view, Everything remaius in an amicab'e state as far ng State and United States officials are concerned.

Congress bas a right, by the copatitution, to raise Togular armies, and no restraint is imposed in ‘the exer. cive of ft, except in the provisions which are intended to guard against the abuse of power, with none of which does this plan inter ere.

The idea that the United States cannot raise a regular army in any other m than by accepting the voluntary service of individuals Is’ believed to be repagnant to the uniform construction of all grants of power, and eqnaily so to the first principles and Jeading objects of the foderal compact. An unqualified grant of power gives the moans necessary to carry it into effect, ‘This ts an universal maxim which admits of no exception. Equally trae is it that the con servation of the state ig. duty paramount to all others, The Commenwealth basa right to the service of all its citizens, or rather the citivens composing the Common. wealth have a right collectively and individually. to the service of ench other to repel any danger which may be menced.

The I mitation of time by the law for the performance of there dit ties is such that it was impossible to go on with the draft for the remainder of the district till the business of the sub districts already drawn was in good measnre out of tbe way. We learn by inquiry at the Provost Marshal's office that the drawing will probably be resumed on next Monday afternoon, beginning with the Tweifth sub-dis. trict, and will continue from day to day till that of the entire district is completed. ‘The sub-districts yet nn. drawn comprise the towns in Orleans and Fssex counties and the town of Milton, The Twelith sub-district em- braces the towns of Albany, Greensboro, Crafsbury , Iras burg, Coventry and Giover, and one hundred and forty- five names are to be drawn for it. ‘The Drafe in @hode Istand.

Hens whea the tqwns wanted authority to graut bounties, they. procured an act of the General Assembly to tht effect.

They must ascertain that the man whose family or dependents they propose to relicve, bas. beva bimecif mustered into the service of the United States, and not merely that he has procured a aubstitate or paid a commatation fee of three hundred doliars. In addition to this, they must ns- certain that the family or dependents whom they propose to relieve are needy and destitute, Thoy can provide for the needy and destitute family or dopen:tents of any ol- dior or sailor from the town in the military or raval service of the United States; and,as the law now ia, they can do po more. They cannot lawfully, in any form, provide ubstitute for a drafted man. If they desire to do this must procure an act of the General Assembly. In these times when we very properly tell the lees favored classes of society that they will resist the laws at the peril of their lives, it seems to me that respect for plain ws is epecially incumbent in those who make, and in the prescribed code, can chadge all our laws.
