Modus 0perandi Of the Draft.

L
The follcSine, which has jmt been re,
ceived from the sConscription Bureau,
describes the exact form and manner oi
making the draft:
WAR DEPARTMENT, PR0vOsr !
MARSHAL GENERALS OFFICE, WASH
. IxGroN, D. c., July 9, 1868. J
INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO MAKING THE DRAFT.
l. Provost Marshals will cause the name
of each person of the first class enrolled,
to be written on card as soon IS the en-
rollment lists are completed. These cards
must be uniform in size, shape and color.
II. The cards ore then to be assorted BIZ
sub-districts, verified by comparison with
the enrolment lists, and placed in an en-
velope marked with the number of sub
districts and the number oe cards contained
in it and sealed.
III, After all sub-districts have been
thus prepared, all the envelopes will be
put into one, and sealed up, and put away
until the day of draft.
w. On the day of the draft the Board
of Enrolment will open the envelopes in
presence of any who may choose to attend,
and take the envelope containing the cards
of the first sub-district.
These cards must be counted as they are
placed in the box, and must agree with the
number on the envelopes.
The box should be about one foot wide,
one foot deep, and one and half long,
with lid securely fastened on, and hole
in the lid large enough to admit mans
hand.
V. This being done, the Commissioner
will announce that the draft for the first
sub-district of such district of such State,
for so many men, will commence.
vi. The Provost Marshal or some trusty
person selected by him, will then be blind
folded and draw from the box single card,
which he will hand to tho Commissioner,
who will read aloud the name on it. The
clerk will Immediately enter this name on
list previously prepared, opposite No. l.
Thus the draft will continue until the re.
quired number Of names are drawn, when
the cards remaining in the box will be
taken out and counted, so as to verify the
whole number originally put in.
VII. Great care must be taken to enter
names on the roll exactly in the order in
which they are drawn.
VIII. The remaining sub districts will
be proceeded with in like manner.
TX. As soon as practicable, persons
drafted will be notified. JAMES B. Far,
Provost Marshal General.

About three o'clock On the 18th the mil.
itary were withdrawn from the scene Of
fighting. Over two hundred houses had
previously been visited, and . quantity Of
arms seized. Gen. Fitzpatrick had a long
conference with Gen. Sanford, understood
to be in reference to an arrival of cavalry
from Washington to patrol the city. Gen.
Sandford has ordered all the liquor stores
in the vicinity of the arsenal for three days.
Cannon remain in that vicinity, with a
strong guard of militia, but there is no
probability that they will have to be used.
The military still hold possession of the
18th Ward, on East River. Efforts to
effect the withdrawal of troops from the
18th Ward failed, though recommended by
the Governor.
It is not positively known when drafting
will commence, but it is animated when It
does, Government will have not less than
$500 troops in New York City. All per-
fectly quiet.

MARTIAL Law IN LEAvENwoRrH.-A conflict
has arisen between General Ewing and Mavor
Anthony, growing out Of the arrest Of a govern
ment detective by the City police. Anthony
is therefore accused of interfering with the en-
forcement of the Generals order respecting the
recovery of stolen property. Martial Law has
been proclaimed in that County, mainly for this
reason: "To enable me TO prevent this inter
ference, and not to preserve the peace OF the city
have proclaimed Martial Law" He considers
that place the rendezvous of all the pirates Of
the border. and believes this the most effectual
way Of squelching them. We are sorry they do
not work in harmony-the task would be much
easier accomplished if they did

Status of Affairs in Front Of Charleston.

Status of Affairs in Front Of Charleston.
Nothing has yet been received by Gov
ernment as regards the reported fall of
Charleston.
A letter to the Boston Journal, dated of
Charleston, 18th, says the grand and final
attack was assigned for Tuesday, the 14th,
and adds everything is working we'll. ;s
Morris Island is in our possession. Five
iron-clads and one forty-gun frigate 90 over
tho bar tonight. Batteries, with heavy
two-hundred FOUNDER rifles, have been
erected on Morris Island by our troops,
and will take part in the bombarment of
Sumter.
An official dispatch to Gen. Halleck,
dated Morris Island, July 18th, says:
have the honor to report that at FIVE
o'clock on the morning of the 10lh, made
an attack on tho enemy's fortified position
on the south end of Morris Island, and
after three hours engagement captured all
his strongholds on that part of the Island !;
and pushed forward my infantry to within
six hundred yards of Fort Wagner. We
now hold all the Island except about one
mile of the north end, which includes Fort
Wagner and Cummings Point Battery,
mounting fourteen or fifteen guns in ag-
gregate.
Our assaulting column landed their boats
under cover of the batteries of Folly Island !,
and four Monitors which entered the main
channel abreast Morris Island continued to
fire during tho day, mostly against Fort
Wagner.
At daybreak on the morning Of the l1th,
an attempt was made to carry Fort Wagner
by assault. The parapct was gained, but
the support recoiled under the FIRE to which
they we're subjected and could not be got
up. Our loss in both actions will not vary
much from $50 in killed, wounded and
missing. We have taken II pieces Of
heavy ordnance and large quantity of
camp equipagc. The cnemy's loss is about
200. w. A. GILMORE,

vicksburg Items.

A Vicksburg letter, describing the meet.
ing of Generals Grant and Pemberton, on
the day before our occupation of the rebel
stronghold, says:
Thousands of soldiers looked upon the
strange scene. Two men who had been
lieutenants in the same regiment in Mexico
now met as foes, with all the world looking
upon them; the one his country's glory,
the other his country's shame. When they
had approached within few feet there was
a halt, and Col. Montgomery spoke: Gen.
Grant, Gen. Pemberton.' They shook
hands politely, but Pemberton was evident
ly mortified. He said: Il was at Monte
rey and Buena Vista. We had terms and
conditions there Gen. Grant here took
him aside and they sat down on the grass
and talked more than an hour. Grant
smoked all the time; Pemberton played
with the grass and pulled leaves. It was
finally agreed to parole them, allowing the
officers each his horse. 1t was a polite
thing. The dread of going North and fear
of harsh treatment had deferred them from
capitulating sooner.
Our men treat the rebels with kindness,
giving them coffee, which some of them
have not tasted for a year. The city is
much dilapidated, and many houses are
injured. The Vicksburg paper Of July I'd
admits the eating of mule meat and the
pilfering of soldiers,
In private houses there seems to be suf-
fering from sickness and our missiles. The
river batteries at Vicksburg are composed
of thirty.six guns, Of the Blakely, Whit.
worth and Brooks pattern. All these fell
into our hands," Q :.tez

Bushwhackers in johnson County Again.

From George A. Reynolds, Esq, We
