NEW DIRK, July II.
PRoCLAMATIoN-Th riotous assemblages
have been Observation-Disclosures is running in
its usual channels; the various lines of omni-
buses, railways and Telegraph have resumed
their ordinary operation. Few symptoms of
disorder remain, except in a small district in
the eastern part of the city, comprising part
of the 18th and 2lst Wards.
The Police is everywhere on the alert. A
sufficient military force is now here to sup
press any illegal movement, however formida-
Bile. Let me exhort you, therefore, to pursue
your ordinary business. Avoid especially all
crowds, remain quietly at your homes, except
when engaged 10 business or assisting the au-
thorities in some organized force. When the
military appears on the streets do not gather
about IL; being sure that ii is doing its duty in
obedience to orders from superior authority
Your homes aud places of business you have
right to defend them at all hazards. Yield
to no intimdations and demands for money as
the price of your safety. If any person worms
you to desist from your accustomed business,
give no heed to the warning but arrest the
person and bring him to the nearest station
house for punishment as a conspirator.
Be assured that the public authorities have
the ability and the will to protect you from
those who have conspired alike against your
peace, against the government of your choice,
and against the laws which your representa-
tives have enacted.

- Morris Island, now occupied by federal
troops, aud from which the rebels are driven
except from a single battery, commands the
approaches to Charleston, and will prove the
key TO Fort Sumter, which is but 1900 yards
distant.
20 The report of the shooting of the Pro-
vost Marshal at Augusta was wicked canard
without particle of foundation. Such start
ling rumors, at a time when the public mind
Is in feyerish state, cannot be circulated with
too much caution. The draft at Augusta, for
the Sd district is progressing with the utmost
quietness, and not a murinur of i-feeling has
yet been manifested
sB- The second quarter of the summer
session of the Eaton Boarding School for
Boys, at Kent's Hill, will commence next

because we disapproved Gov. Seymour's olive
branch policy with God-forsaken mob that
had just been bought off from the destruction
of the 9th Avenue Hotel with libations of
whiskey, and pronounces him great, patri-
otto, and good man and able chief magistrate"
We only hope he may prove TO be such, but his
tampering with the mob was poor way to ex-
hibit such qualities.
sB- Gov. Seymour has at last issued a proc
lamation, saying the law must be maintained
He should have done this in the outset instead
oil betraying weakness before a merciless mob,
ana thus saved great deal of violence and
Dioodshed. No Chief Magistrate should ever
iear 10 take the responsibility, when lawless
men attempt to override good order and to
break down all the barriers which are erected
for the protection of life and property.
- 1t is not so generally understood as IL
should be, that drafted men, who paw com,nu-
tation money, are not thereby excused from
any subsequent draft, while those tcho furnish
substitutes are exempt for the tern, for ,chicb
such substitutes are mustered into the sernice
three years. Such substitutes get bounty
OF s202, and can therefore be readily obtained
for $500, and in some cases for less. The prices
paid in this city hitherto vary between SITS
and $500, as far as reported.

The Execution OF Private Laird.

Mr.. Editor The Courier seems to be in
hurry to publish everything it may hear, with
out inquiring into the accuracy or truth of the
reports. Thus it was in the statement in that
paper of this evening, that "a pardon from the
President for Laird, who was shot on Wednes-
day at Fort Preble was delayed on the way ar
irving one day too late
The truth is, there was no pardon from the
President. Laird was sentenced to be shot at
one o'clock Wednesday. At half past ten
O'Clock Wednesday night received the follow
ing dispatch:
New YORK, July Is, 1861
To Major George l.. Andre,cs, Commanding
Fort Preble:
\ on are authorized TO suspend the execution
OF private Laird until the same hour to-mor-
row.
tSigned) JOHN Z. Wool, Maj. Gen.
Had the dispatch been received in season,
as 1t would have been but for the rioters in
New York destroying the telegraph lines, the
execution would have been delayed but "a
hours. The Courier, before publishing such a
statement as it did, should have made an en-
quiry at the Fort, where all information would
have been given in relation to the matter.
Yours, DC,

DeplOrablc condition of the Indians
of the Southwest.
The Draft to be Carried Through.

WASHINGTON, July II.
The Indian Agent for the Upper Arkansas
District. in an official communication, dated
Colorado, Both ut., speaks of visiting the Cad
does, and other Indians, 30 miles South of
Fort Larned. They were destitute of both
clothing and provisions, having been robbed
of everything by the rebels before leaving
But for the abundance of the Buffalo herds
they would have starved.
The Agent ministered to their necessity
They say they will always remain loyal, and
would celebrate the 4th of July as has been
their custom. Other Indians from Texas will
soon join them. Those remaining in Texas
are in a deplorable condition, having been
plundered of all their stock to feed the rebel
troops, large body of whom were on the
Red River moving northwest.
Gov. Doty has made important treaties with
the Indians in Utah, thus additionally secur-
ing safety to emigrants.
Var Department, Provost Marshal Gener-
ais Office, Washington, July 1Ith.-Circular
No. 4S-The operations of the draft lately or
dered in the New England and Middle States,
though in most instances completed, are now
in progress without opposition. have in one or
two cities been temporarily interrupted. Pro-
vost Marshals are informed that no orders have
been issued countermanding the draft. Ade-
quate force has been ordered by the Govern
ment TO the points where the proceedings have
been interrupted.
The Provost Marshals will be sustained by
the military force of the country in enforcing
the laws of the United States, and will pro-
coed TO effect the orders heretofore given for
the draft as rapidly as will be practicable, by
the aid Of the military forces ordered to CO.
operate with and protect them.
