I@-A most terrible and destructive riot
has been going on in the City of New York,
during the last few days, and was still
progressing at the last accounts. The
Draft was the osteIsible cause, but that
seems to have been lost sight of by the
mob. Hundreds of lives have been lost
and thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth of property destroyed. We cannot
even pretend to give an abstract Of the
facts Gov. Seymour has done all in his
power to quell the rioters, and before now
by the aid of troops, he has doubtless sue
ceeded. We shall try and give an account
of it next week. The Draft has been post
poned for the present; and the law has
been declared, by Judge McCunn,to be un-
constitutional.
1t does not matter what was the cause OF
riot, nor whether the Couscription law is
constitution al or not, there is not and can.
not be any excuse, palliation or defense
for riot. 1t is 10 be condemned by al
good citizens, and no man not lost to al
sense Of what is due to law and order, vii
defend or even excuse them.
We think Of the riot in Nav York al
we did of the riot in Bloomsburg-It il
without cause or excuse--those originating
aiding or abetting it, ought to be arrested
tried, and if convicted, punished-and no
parioned.

DIR. John, in the foregoing brief extract
is as usual, belying the record. The first
named individual, about one month ago
addressed a large Democratic Meeting in
Centre in which he urged upon the people
the imperative duty of all, and especially
Democrats, to observe and obey all consti-
tutional laws. This will be readily attos-
led by every manufacturing the republi'
cans--who were present Such he has
always done. The second gentleman
named, on Saturday last in Jackson did
hs same. Nay, more. He demonstrated
the plain duty of good citizens, to obey the
laws and not even attempt to resist tht
enrolment. These are truths. The Dr.
added the lie.

Notwithstanding Lots for Death


At the Libby prison yesterday, by or
der of General Winder, tho Captains
among the Yankee prisoners, numbering
seventy-four, drew lots for two to be shot
in retaliation for the shooting Of Captains
VIM. +. Corbin and I. j. MrGraw by
General Burnside at S4ndusky, Ohio, on
May last.
The prisoners were assembled in room
at twelve o'clock by Captain Turner, the
commandant OF the prison, and after being
formed in hollow square around table,
were informed of the order of General
Winder A slip of paper, with the name
of each man written on it and carSlully
folded up, was then deposited in box on
the table, and Captain Turner informed
the men that they might select whom they
pleased to draw the names out-the first
two names drawn to indicate those to be
shot.
Captain Sawyer, Of the First New Jsr.
scy Cavalry, suggested that one of the
chaplains be appointed. Three of the
Chaplains were called down from an up
per room, and Rev. Mr.. Brown accepted
the task. Amid silence almost death
like, the drawing commenced. The first
name taken out of the box was that Of
Captain Henry Washington Sawyer, of
the First New Jersey Cavalry, and the
second that of Captain John Finn, of the
Fiity.irst Indiana.
When the names were read out Sawyer
heard it with no apparent emotion, remar-
that some one had 10 be drawn, and he
could stand it as well as any one else.-
Finn was very white and much deprcs.

! The prisoners were then dismissed, and
the condemned men sent to General Win.
der's cffice. On arriving there they were
permitted TO write letters to their friends
Sawyer wrote letter home, and read i
aloud to the detectives standing near.
Upon coming to the last part of it, say
ing, "Farcwell, my dear vile, farewell, m,
children; farewell, mother" he begged
those near by to excuse him, and turning
aside burst into tears. Finn said he ha,
no letters to write, and only wanted
priest.
Both men were returned to the Libb,
Prison, and will be kept in close confne
ment unit! the day Of their execution
! which is not yet affixed. Sawyer is
Pennsylvania by birth, and Flynn is a
Irishman.
The Confederate officers shot by Burn
side were executed for recruiting in Ken
tucky, and that General, when appeale
to by the sisters Of ono of them to spar
his life, refused, with the brutal reply
that he "had quit handling tho Rebollio
