10 THE DRAFT.. Prececcings Before the New York Mass Meeting of Comecripts in Brooklyn. The Draft Not Yet Ordered in the Tenth District, &., &., &. THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK. Notifications and Exemptions. THE POURTH DIPTRICT. ‘Tee Board of Faroiment for the Fourth Congressional @wiriot met again yesterday morning at ten o’clock at Whe headquarters of Provost Marsha) Erhardt, No. 271 Broadway. Over two hondred appheantes for exemption ‘were on band at an early hour to lay their claims beforo the Board ard pass inepection at the hands of the surgeon. ‘Phe Board pushed the work of the day forward at a rapid Fate, but done justice to every case that came up before them. Nothing of importance beyond the regular routine of labor occurred dering the hours of the session, and no delays wero occasioned. ‘The entire arrangements of this Board are adiairable and work toacharm, The Board ope to be able to udjust cach cay hereafter, on an ave- rage, one hundred cases, which wil) materially jessen the time in going over the gr defore them. The exami- nations are copiucted by Provost Marshal Erbardt with tho stricteet adherence to the written law, and the exuminations in some cases are severely rigid. ‘One or two amoxing Ipeidents occurred, one of which wecive. Tt was os followe:—Jobn Hasiey, a som of Old Neptune, who lives at No, 99 Cherry street when he js at home, was represented before the Board by three good looking ladies, dangnters of Kirin, ene of whom stated that abe was Jobn's: wife; tint be was a “saylairing man” who ‘thraveiled all over.’ When sho was asked ‘Dy the Board when John ‘was expected bome, she anid she ‘had not the least idea, Le might be home ina week, and be might not be home in years.” When asked for the’ name of the vessel on board of which her husband was employed , she replied, “Indade I niver knowed the ‘ame of the ship he goes on!”” John’s case was adjourned for @ month. i ‘Tue following is the list of cases for yesterday, with tho Geposition in each case.

HE SIXTH DISTRICT. ‘The Board of Exemption for this district seeing the umber of persons in waiting at the appointed bour, and Soxiour to keep persons but as shortatime as possible ‘Waiting, proceeded immediately to business, and con- Snued (with but about an hour’s lntermission) to dis- 28e of exemption claims until half-past four P. M., when they adjourned until njne A. M. today. It is but right to @tate that the proper authorities should give Dr. Powell ‘more assistance, as during the day the Doctor was con- tipuslly ip the inside room examining substitutes, &c., ‘and now that all the police, &c., have vo be examined it Way cange a great delay if is not reinforced. The Board are sparing no exertions to expedite the pro- ceedings, 80 as not to keep poor men waiting, and they should be seconded by the authorities. From ‘the number of policemen who furnished substitutes ‘the bilnd goddess must have been very liberal of her favors amongst the force. The Board of Sapervisors farnished the ‘needful’? in those cases. Much laught ‘was created on the crier being directed to-call out pBame of Bonvelt Benquitores, 84 Bleecker street, phonographic sound ovly being conveyed to his ears wag regularly bothered, and after reposted fruitiess forts to make out the euphonius ronymic he com. Pounded by roaring out at the top of his voice 84 Bleecker Street, A lieutenant and a soldier belonging to the Twelfth New York State Militia appeared to present a iain for exemption, but not satisfied with ihe Board's directions retired apart and began to make somo disre- epect(ul remarks, dafoning, Ac.. which reaching the Provost Marshal's ears, he immediately told them that af they didn’t conduct themseiver, or if he heara avy more Uinchare them, he woula put them under ‘@rrest cr have them put out of the room. As the Hoard Were about to commence the afternoon seesion Provost Marshal Farr addressing the persons present said-—*] sm credibly intormed that a person down stairs ie in the habit of taking money from different Parties for passing them into this room before their time, and as I am determined that every- ‘thing bere will be carried out fairly’ and with Justice, if | hear of this agam I will d @ every one from the building. I know the person, and I will also publieh heeg tacts through the public prese This is as {t should be, and we certainly know that this Board will always oct honorably and consistently. ‘The courtesy of the Board to all claimants, &c. , and the facil). @ies afforded to members of the press, have been already Soticed in the Hearn and many of the other daily papers substitute business appears now to be at its height. During the evening there were agreat many persons in the trade loitering about, bat with ep eye to business, A poor, dejected looking woman was seated, waiting until ber reckless Jooking husband (who was going as ® substitute) ‘would be taken charge of, when she was handed over three hundred dollars as a pavacea. A yaung centleman produced afomily Bible, with a register of bis birth, which settled to his dis-sailfaction that he was over ace @a the let of July last,and way consequently held for eerviee.

The military and other arrangements were the same as on Thursday. Parties claiming exemption were admitted imto the room ip squads of about a dozen atatime. Kach applicant was then examined by Capt. Manierre. The substitutes were handed over at once to the military. by whom they were immediately forwarded to River's island. The whole nimber drafted in this district was three thousand and seventy-five, and, judging from the number of exemptions already claimed 'on various grounds, there will only bea iow over @ carporal’s guard to ‘march, march away’ when the labors of the Board are con- qd Capt.

The Militia and General Crooke. A VERY PROPER ORDER RELATIVE TO SOME OF OUR WEALTHY MERCHANTS. Firma BryGape, New Yor« State Mima, ProoKurn, Sept. 4, 1862. ‘The militia of the city of F'roo:lyn are on daty by order of the civil and military authorities. Many clerks, depencent on their salary, are enrolled, and obliged to be absent from their places of business on pain of military punishment. " ‘Their employers, in rome cases, have notified tiem “that they must cleet whether they return to their bnsi- Ress or give up their situations.’ In some cases they ue been told they will be allowed until Saturday to de- ci Some of these employers are amongst the wealthiest houses in New York. ‘They, perhaps, are not aware that their olerks ia the militia have not the privilege of *elect- ing”? to desert their military eervice. These employers also have very mn forgotten that they would have no business to be travsacted— possibly ‘RO proverty to look after—bet for the sustaining power of the militia. The United states troops do not look after private property. Perhaps alittle reflection, and due regard for their own character and comfort, may induce them to recou- sider their orders. I feel it my duty to these young members of our militia in Brooklyn to notity ths employers who may dis- charge clerks for the reason of their absence on military duty, that I rhallin everycase hand im the name of the employer to the civil authorities of the county where he re- sides, lo be summoned as a special peace officer to preserve order therein. Good order must be enforced, and by thore most interested, either in person or otherwise, Very respect(uily, PHILIP 8. CROOKE, Brigadier General Fifth Lrigaae. THE DRAFT IN THE TENTH DISTRICT. From information received it was generally believed that the draft for the Tenth Congressional district of the State of New York, embracing Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties, would commence yesterday. <Ac- cordingly two reporters from the HigRaLD were sent to Tarrytown, the place where the draft is to be made, to tako the names of the men drawn. Un arriving there, however, they found that the Provost Marsbal bad re. ceived no order as yet to make the draft. It is probable that orders will be received to commence on Monday or Tuesday next; bat, on whatever day it may be, it will bo duly advertised in the city papers. The enroliing and dra‘ting cfficers are:—Captain M. G. Leonard, Provost Marshal; Colonei James Ryder, Commis- sioner, and Dr. George B. Upham, Surgeon. The commit- teos to examine the ballots will be selected from among the Supervisors of the eeveral towns for which the «raft is to be made, and they are "to be specially invited to Attend for that purpose. Fifteen thousand dollars’ have been appropriated for tho purpose of pro: viding a bounty of three bundred dollars for ench man who may be drawn in Turrytown, either for himself, if he should elect to serve, or to provide @ substitute. A similar course is being pursued in Yonkers and other towns. Meetings for this purpose haye been called throughout Kockiand covnty. ‘The district is divided into thirty-one eub-districts, each embracing @ town, except in three instances, whero two towns are coupled together ina single sub-district. Everything is quite tranguil ja and about Tarrytown, and there is not the leust apprebonsion entertained of a riot during the draft. A regiment of soldiers will probably be atationed there, to aid the civi authorities in the execu ‘on of their duty, if necessary, however. The ballots are ad — up and everything is Jn readiness to proceed to usiness, According to the census of 1860 the population of the three counties comprising the district amounte! to one hondred and twenty-seven thousand souls, Of these, tweive thousand five hundred and eighty seven names: e been enrolled in the first class, as capable of bearing ‘ms. Counting in the second ciasa,\the total enrolment embraces nineteen thousand four hundred aud forty-two names. The enrolment of the first clas, with which we have to do at present, is distributed among the different towns in the followiog proportions:— DISTRICTS 18—White riains and Scarsdal 2~—Kent... 3—Phillips: 4—Potham V 6 7—North Salem “and Lewishore &—Somers. 9—Yorktown, 10—Cortiandt.

Beall, of the United States Army, has cast a gloom over 8 large circle of friends, It did not come unexpectedly, for Colonel Beall was advanced in life and broken down by years of active service; but it is hard to realize that that bright eye is dim, that merry voice is hushed, that restless form stiff and rigid in the grave. Colonel Beall was perhaps more widely known in the army than any officer connected with it. His countless anecdotes, his ever ready wit, his daring adventares by flood and field, were in the mouth of every one. He early in life evinced s decided taste for a military career, ‘and at the time of the organization of the Second Dra- goons, General Jackson gave him # commission as captain im that regiment. In the Florida war Captain Beall served with great distinction. Hie company was the dread of ‘the savages, and many stories are told of their mis chievous propensities, as well as their deeds of bravery ‘and daring. Daring the Mexican war Colonel Beall served part of the time under General Soott, with the rank of major, coming out with the brevet of lieutenant colonel before tho war was over. He was then ordered acroes the plains to New Mexico, and in this newly organized treritory he remained for several years, at one time in command of the department, and snbse- quently-in charge of the more northern posts, from which, winter after winter, he sallied forth, a terror to all evil doers, but beloved and revered by all the friendly tribes of Indians. On the breaking out of the rebellion Colonel Beall remained loyal tothe Union, though of Southerg extraction; and although his increasing infirmities pre- vented him from, taking the freld, the spirit of the old war horse was in him still, and he seemed to chafe that the fire of youth had departed trom his frame, though his feelings and impulses were as fresb and strong as ever, ” Jo one unacquainted with the deceased his character would be a hard one to describe. His principal trait was 4 most wonderful exuberance of animal spirits, He ap- ponred to be always overflowing with vitality, as if the ordnary afluirs of life were iusufticiont to exhvust the nervous energies of hig system, and required a vont io constant pleasantry and bumor. Gifted at the same Ume with great powers of expression and mimicry, he ‘wag one of the most genial of story tellers and choicest of boon companions. His anecdotes were rich, Pointed and brilliant; his songs were the. perfection of convivial music, and his recitations and imitations of individual characters were of such excellence and power as to render it probable he would have made a great actor bad his talents in that direction been cultivs But Colone! Beall was not distinguished for his social qualities alone: be wasa poldier in every sense of the word. With a poble countenance and a commanding and well knit (rame, he looked every inch the warrior. Once im the saddle bis powers of endurance were wonderful. In mid winter, when the valleysat the castern of the Rocky Mountains were filled with snow, when even the nomadic savage had to seek some sheltered nook to pitch bis lodge in, it was then tbat the Colonel used to start on his expeditions against bostilo Indians which rendered him so famous. Day after day, night after night, as long as a horse could hold him up,be would travel. During his term of gervicg in New Mexico he underwent hardships that broke down even the stoutest of bis troops; but cold never pinched him, heat never relaxed him, hunger ever weakened him, Incapable of fatigue, quick in decision, brave iv action, ho was per- haps the best specimen of a partisan officer our service has ever produced. ‘A character like that of Colonel Beall was apt to be mis- understood by those who did not know him well; but be- neath his apperent occasional levity of munner thore beat @ warm and nobie heart and a conscience free from gi1'e. Astrong ander current of religious feeling tinged his whole life; and many a time, even in the field, after an evening Spent over the camp fire ‘in riot most uncouth,” bas the writer of this seen the old Colonel, before he retired to his bivouac on the ground, take out his prayer book and '® few preciocs moments from his restiess and Seg tee for @ communion with the things of another world, w He is now gone, and in after times, when the oft.told joke goes round and some old familiar story that he once told calls ont the merry laugh, @ tear will mingle with our cups, as we think of that true and bonest gentioman, that noble sekiver, what prince of boon companions, Colo- nel Ben Beall. &e, tofancy that because they have accepted the interven. tion they have therefore the right to turn all its force - carrying out their own revengefal designs against their an- clentenemies, The first step of this kind was in ordering * tho suspension of all labor upon houses known as clergy ® property, The French had already decided by decree to. Festitute all properties beloyging to charitable instita-' tions, and the Mexican clergy at once made s dash upon * this to molest purchasers of their property. Their repre- sentatives, now nominally in power here, ordered the’ suspension of all works, and there was consequently great confusion amongst all clagses of clergy property holders. Although there are few of these people who deserve any’ consideration whatever, still there are a few who have purckased in good faith, and in shielding them from injury’ the rogues who have swindled the State are given a pro- tection they donot deserve. General Forey, by advice of the Count de Saligny, it is supposed, has decided to give aN clergy p operty holders equal protection until such time aa there can be a revision of all these titles, and he bas therefore required the supreme ex@eutive power (or regency) to undo what they did in connection with the orders for suspension of work on ¢lergy! property. The same executive power also came! out with a decree probibiting labor on Sundays, except! standing the supremacy of the power of the regency, procured the repeal, or rather suspension, of this most stupid decree. Thus two of the acts of the re- genoy have been undone on the spot, and { believe it has been provided tbat the regency do as little as possible a6 decres making in future, A remarkable paper bas Chief Justice Bronsan. ‘The Hon.
