CITY ITEMS.

TIE DRArr-Gov. Morgan and Quartermaster
General Arthur have just returned from Washing
ton, whittier they proceeded last week for the pur'
pose Of having an interview with the United States
military authorities concerning tie draft aud our har
Dor defenses. All the statistical Information which
the Governor had been able 10 obtain from the War
Committees as TO the number of men enlisted from
this State was laid before the President aud Secre-
tary Of War, and unless specially directed otherwise
the draft will take place as soon as blankets and
uniforms are provided by the Government There
is deficiency Of ebou. 80 600 men in this State on
the last quota but how to apportion them teens T.
be the trouble in hand. Ia some counties there are
great discrepancies, the Senatorial War Committee
having been exceedingly lax in their endeavors TO
I'll up the ranks. Nearly every town throughout
the State claims 10 have furnished its respective
quota Of troops. Brooklyn claims TO have furnished
an excess Of 400 the number specified in her re-
QUESTION: while New-York City asserts that she has
done more than was required Of her. Athorough 10
spection Of all the muster-rols shows that our
quota has been nearly or quite filled,
which fact IL oorroboraied by the amount
Of bounty money paid. Yet while this apparent FAC,
can be shown by figures, it does no: appear that
all Of the men enlisted aud mustered into ihs service
have been sent to the seat Of war. Hundreds have
deserted after having been duly enrolled and paid
their bounty, hence the discrepancy between the
number Of men in the field, as reported b. their
con mander, and the reports made BY our State
authorities. The Government calls FOR O certain
number Of men which the State furnishes, bu. does
not feel inclined 10 hold berself ohargesble on &C
count Of their dessriion, eoniendiug that the Gov
eminent should have appointed proper officers
to look after them. An impression seems 10 have
gained ground that thero viii not DO any dfah N
this State, bat il is erroneous Every preparation
has been made, and there is doubt that the Gov
ernuont will order it, unless some active measnros
are taken TO ell up the quota The Authorities 4,
Washington want the full number Of men asked for.
aud will only give us credit for the number that have
actually reported in the field. Gov. Morgan, how
ever will not enforce the draft until be has obtained
the requisite number Of blankets And equipments
for tho drafted men.
A BIG PILr.-Col. Bli,s, Paymhster Of tie State,
has recently paid on! over 100000 10 tie State
troops.
