Summary of the Quota of the Dif- ferent Wards, &e., ae, — @ontrary to the hopes and faliacious predictions of the Pietous and evil disposed in this community, the draft, ‘whieh was #0 rudely interrupted in the month of Julp Inst, was yesterday resumed without the semblance of a @iMoutty, and successfully prosecuted during the entire |, @ay without the occurrence of a single;act which the jour malist could be pained to rebord. The preparations made ey the police and military authorities for preserving order fad obedience to the law, and for instantly repressing @ay tumukuous demonstrations that might bave been made, were of the most extensive and perfect character. Although very few soldiers wore to be seen at any given petat in the city, it was generally known that large bodies farmed men were at band all over the different wards, ae Mit, kee The entire potice farce was. on duty, and the tolegraph apparatus fm convection with the department was kept ready for amy emergency that might have called it into use. A eencerted signal was adopted by the police authorities in @ane sudden ricting should begin in any part of the me- tropolis. This'was ten strokes on all the fire bells of the qty. Fortunately, this tocain was not sounded yesterday ; fer the good gense of the masses prevailed over the mere’ @vullition of passionate moments, which on anotber ooca- stan proteee ree eeneak MEE THE DRAFTING HEADQUARTERS. ‘Lang before ten o'clock yesterday morning, the hour fixed fer the resumption of the draft, a large crowd of people— Principally men—assembled about the doors of the head q@marters of Captain Farr, the Provost of the Sixth Congressional district, which includes the Ninth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards of this city. The poflce were on duty @evera! hours before, and although the populace gradually fmereased there was not the slightest irregularity or eymptom of disorder anywhere, The people seemed to be more impressed by s feeling of curiosity than by any Amelination to be restive or troublesome to the suthorities. a noon as it was decided to open the doors to the public @ large number of men and boys rushed into the build- tng, and harried up to the front apartments on the second floor, where the wheel of tate had been erected, and ‘where \t wag decided that the drawing should be made, The space allotted to the public was, however, very Mmited, and, after two or three hundred had been ac- @emmodated, the others found the place too warm for them, and therefore they wisely returned to the strect, where many hundreds of persons were collected during the whole day. a window of the building wore paying the most intense attention to the silent wheel, and it did not seem that wided with every facility that they could desire, and such @ourishing of pens and pencils as was witnessed under the circumstances it is impossible to describe. What Feporters geticrally want they had on this occasion— plenty of room, pens, ink and paper, a fair field, and little @ wo favor. Provost Marshal Farr and his assistants are @eserving of all praise for their considerate judgment in this respect. THE INVITATIONS TO THE DRAPT show that Captain Farr is not only a good military officer, ‘but also a man of taste. Some of the people seemed in ined to laugh af tne idea of the official invitation issued by Captain Farr, One man jokingly said it was like in- ‘viting 2 follow to seo his own caffin; when another thought it @ good opportunity to throw ‘n tbe old lines, bt walk | 2d eld ths Capel lee ed higher tows than these, He bad to diecharge @ serious but In some way unpleasant duty, and be sought to do bis duty with as little harshness as pessible.

At a quarter past ten o'clock or thervabouts active pro- evedings to begin operations became apparent. Captain Beer called for order among the spectators, and directed Semen W. Booth and Joseph D.

Of course, next to the wheel, he was the 4 served of Gli observers. “Mr. Conitiing BP ee ea BS Es de ERE EOS Cs Ee Rk SPE SRR, ELT SEs SOR, Sens rere tended by his som, a boy of six or seven yoars of age. Many of our readers will, in this harried description, re- Cognize the blind keeper of a email store in Charles street, whe formerly vended kerosene oil through the streets. Among the gentiemen present, besides Captain Farr, were Dr. Powell, surgeon, one of the Board of Earolment Of the district ;Mir. Charles Lamont, commissioner ; Rich ard Isham, W. W. Waterbury, who superintended the en- rolment; David A. Wendell, clerk to the board; Captain ‘Turner, Mr. Glassen, government solicitor; Philip B. Marsh, Lieutenant Barger, General Wetmore, Aldermen Chipp and McCool and Mr. Charles Oakley. Colonel Gurney, of the One Hundred and Twenty- seventh New York Volunteers, in charge of Riker’s Island, wos present as a spectator. Lieutenant Hagen, of Colonel Nugent's staff, who bas but one arm, represented Colonel Nugent. Everything being now in perfect readineas, the whoel Degan to revolve and the excitement of the audience to increase apace. Everybody seemed anxious to know whose name would fall out first. Cries of “Hints off there,’ ‘(Heads off in front,” began to come from all parts of the room, mingled with pealsor laughter. The people were in a merry yet anxious mood. Now and then some weak. hearted chap in the crowd would utter a doleful “Ob, Lord,” whieh would be a signa) for fresh roars from tho other spectators on the floor, But yet the wheel went on revolving. ‘Shake her up well, old man; ‘Roll up your sleeves, sir”? These were remarks ad- dressed to the blind operator, who kindly acquiesced by divesting himself of his coat. Though known to be as blind as a peannt, to render seonrity doubly secure, to satisty the padlic and comply with the law, the blind man was blindfolded, 80 to speak, by a red handkerchief tied across'his faco. Natarally the old man’s head was dent towarde his work, and, seqjog this,some of the boys cried out, ‘See, the fellow is looking down through the Dandage.” The blind man seemed to. enjoy thie idea amazingly. . ‘(How long are you going to be turning that wheel?’ asked some tmpatient observer. ‘‘Non’t lose so much time. Hurry up, and let’s get home.” » “There they go again—turning the wheel,” ejaculated another. “Oh! don’t you see that the butter isn’t churned yet?” answered another. Here a general laugh came in, which all hands seemed heartily to enjoy. We note these little waifs to show the tempor of the people on 80 momentous an occasion to the city and themselves.

Here and there a corporal and guard might be seen march. tg along the sidowalks, with shouldered or eloped arms, and fixed bayonow; but beyond these military signs there were no indications that any riot was apprehended, and no disturbance was feared. There was the usual crowd incidental to unusual occurrences on the sidewalks oppo- nite the building where the draft was going on; but it was peaceable, without the slightert imdication ef a riotous intention. The Thirty-seventh Marnachunetts regiment is com- mandod by Colonel Oliver Edwards. They were present ab the battle of Gettysburg, where they formed a portion of Meade’s army, Tho Dboys are quite bronzed, and have about them all the appearance of veterans. Yos- terday they wore not backwar! in expressing thoir satis- foction that the draft was going on quietly, and that they were not called upon to engage in deadly conflict with their countrymen. Military men were of course posted in buildings not far OM, in order to be rendy to assist the police in suppress. ing any outdbreck at a moment's notice; bat everything was kept #0 quiet that dobody knew, or seemed to know, where they were etatione’, nor would it be proper for us to tell, Jokes about the conscription were freely bandied about the streets and in the city cars, and those liable to be drafted seemed to think, with Mark Tapley, that there was some credit in being jolly under the circumstances. In the Morning, as one of the Sixth avenue cars was rolling down town, the front door happened to be closed by the driver, upon which a gentleman remarked that it was a happy expedient to keep the passengers out of tho draft, Only one casualty occurred in the Ninth ward yester- day.

Sooner than this lotter will be reat, inal! likelihood, the crand ex: periment wili have bees made,and the proviem upon which the Commanding General ts #0 earnestly at work will have been satisfactorily svlved. Our heaviest gunw are in position; our ammunition te at the front ; our artilieriste are ready. nly the details of the majentioc programme remain to be arranged and perfected. As yet 1 can say sothing of the porition of our batteries, or of the namber or calibre of the guna within them.
