At THE SEVENTEENTH WARD STATION HOUSE.
After breaking in the front of the soap factory, the
mob made toward the Seventeenth Ward Station
through Third street. The main body halted near
Second avenue and sent on small advance guard
v;vad tba If
ard the Bowery the police made descent upon and
drove them off. Officer Thomas II. Carin of the
Seventeenth Ward arrested one man and brought him
into the Station. As the mob retreated, several shots
were fred, but from what quarter could not tell.
Happily, they did not harm any one
Mr. Commissioner Draper was at the station to d.
rect operations Several prominent citizens Of the
Ward called upon Mr.. Draper and told him that the
mob was gathering in strong force and threatened to
attack the dwellings of the leading Republicans Of the
Ward. Mr. Draper said that any attempt Of the kind
wsud be promptly suppressed He did not however,
believe in provoking hosties by making any hostile
demonstration Subsequently he ordered Officer s. j.
Smith. of the Fifteenth Ward TO divest himself of his
star and reconnoiter the Ward In short time he
turned, and reported that the mob was led by four
persops three of whom he had arrested in times gone
by for theft. He only asked for thirty men, and he
rledced himself to arrest them and bring them
in. Other citizens arrived and represented that mat
tiers were becoming still more threatening Gen. Hall
arriving ut this uncure after consultation Mr.. Draper
requested him to call out the military. Platoons OF
policemen from various Wards continued to arrive,
until about 300 men were at the Station-House The
utmost excitement prevaied-a large number ct per-
cons gathering outside, and every now and then re-
mort would be circulated that the rebels were on their
way to attack the Staton-House.
About o'clock, Mr. Eichoff the principal editor of
the Stats Zeitung, came to the Seventeenth Ward
Station House TO see the Commissioners, and was In
troduced to Commissioner Draper. He said he came
TO try TO persuade them not to send any policemen
down 10 Avenue A. lie thought the assembage there
would be pe aceable unless ezced by the presence OF
the Police.
Mr.. Draper said that it conld not be allowed that
OBJ should collect in any part of the city, and TO DIS
perse at their own motion. If that were permitted in
one District the idea would 60 abroad that the police
were afraid and larger mob would gather another
time If they remained there they must be dispersed
by force.
Mr. Eichoff said he had only to give his idea;
that wac all he had to say.
II WAS reported about 10 o'clock that some Of the
Second avenue cars had been stopped and that bricks
Delama,er were sent down with squads of six men b
cover their shields and make arrests if necessary In
a few n inutes Mr. Smith returned very much out of
BREATH complaining that his squad had been frightened
at bonfire and had proved the excellence Of their
legs. He commended their legs. The men arrived
soon afterward.
The men were then ordered on their regular beats,
the Eighth Ward men doubling with the Seventeenth.

Captains Trumbull and Hartt with about 200 men,
were ordered down to disperse the mob. Capt Trum-
bull, after marshalipg his men, told Mr. Draper that
he learned that the mob was well armed. and his men
were cot He said that his force new he did not
even know their names; and he thought the odds
against them would be too great unless they were
supported by the military.
MIR Draper assured him that he should be supported
and he went to return unframed
Meantime, Mr.. Draper had suggested to Deputy
Superintendent Carpenter that he should take tour
through the infected district. Mr.. Carpenter asked if
he should not take off his badge Mr. Draper thought
he might as well wear it. Gen. Hall volunteered to
go with him.
After short time they returned, and the following
conversation ensned with Mr.. Draper.
