THE NEW YORK MERCURY,
 For the New Year.

It is with no fear of Wars effect upon their literary fortunes, that the publishers of The New York Mercury acknowledge the unwaver- ing loyalty of their two hundred thousand Subsoribers, and announce to them, and to all, that the New, York Mercury for this year (1863) will be richer in every luxury of polite literature than ever before. It is no upstart speculation, no temporary s'sensation,' but a first class literary weekly, which has been fa- miliax to the United States for quarter of a century; and while the wishy-washy mush- room prints of yesterday are cutting down their talent even while they raise their sub seription- price, The New York Mercury main tains all it's great Staff of Romancers, Poets, Humorists, Essayists, Story Tellers and Edi- tors, and promises ta make it still greater for 186S:
 It is the one paper for every home. It's forty columns of reading matter per week constitute an unparalleled
 gsn Conservatory of the Entestainuy, Snd it's Novels, Miscellaneous Tales, Beauties of Verse, Gossip, Feuilletons, Broadsides of Hpmor, and Polished Editorials, combine to spfsonize all the charms of
 WIT AND sENTIMENTl
 The husband reads it to his wife, the mother to her children, the lover to his sweetheart, tfe soldier to sis comrades, and the village se ho olmaster to the circle around the stove Itis familiar to the sight of every man, wo- man and child in our country, and has regular subscribers in several countries of Europe The New York Mercury is also identified with the grandest patriotism of the age for several members of it's brilliant Staff hold high rank in our noble army, and have made themselves as famous with the Sword as with the Pen The great Illustrating artist of the New York Mercury, the inimitable Darley, gives the pa per the highest attributes of Fine Art; and yet this largest literary weekly of the day promises to surpass itself in all these respects during the New Year!
 The first New York Mercury Novelette, for the New Year, commenced in the issue of Jan g, 1868, is called

Correspondence of the Freeman.
Letter from New York.
New YoRk, Tuesday 2. Nj.

NEW YORK, Tuesday L. M.
EDITOR FREEMAN Il send you the latest is
sues of the Times with news of the riot. 1t has
resolved into mere pillaging rabble, composed
largely of women who exceed in bloodthirstlness
and fury the men. Yesterday evening they
caught poor unofendiDg negro on the street
and beat him nearly to death, then hung him,
after which the women stripped him to his shirt,
then poured on camphene and set him on fire.
This morning | was awakened by the measured
tramp of body of men, and springns up saw
regiment of soldiers marching up Broadway past
my window, their muskets cleaning through the
grey dawn, and later, up at the St. Nicholas, two
brass howtzers guard the headquarters of Gen.
Wool and Mayor Opdyke. The Mayors house
was attacked this morning, but was defended, and
is now guarded by troops. Fires were constantly
set till an early hour this morning. and while
write, the alarm sounds and the engines rumble
by. The Asylum for colored orphans was also
burned, being first plundered. The women entered
the building, and stripping sheets from the beds,
gathered and tied in them bedding, clothing,
the dresses and linen of the children, and hoist
ing them on their heads make their way out Of
: the crowd. After the building was thus cleared
it was set on fire and totally destroyed, hardly
one brick remaining on another.
New York has inflicted lasting disgrace on
herself and on community by this causeess and
bloody riot-The soldiers fired once on the mob
killing twelve and wounding twenty more. The
Tribune buildings are barricaded, and the COM
positors of that and the Times office are armed
think the most serious part is past, though
one cannot tell the events of the coming night, az
the crowds seem feyerish and ready to seize an!
chance for an outbreak. -Shall leave the city 10
morrow morning so shall be unable to give YOU
further news. Yours truly, o. NJ. T.

MOB RurE.-New York has had bitter ex-
perience of mob rule, and we hope has learned
a lesson from it that she will profit by. Mob
violence soon becomes indlscriminate violence.
Every cut throat, murderer, garroter, villain,
and scouldrel in New York who has sufficient
courage, has Joined the mob in that city. 1t
cares but little for the draft. 1t is not that
alone, or chiefly, that has excited the disturb
ance But the flame of wicked passions has
been blown into this great fire of destructive
violence by men who have hoped to make head
against the Government. The moving spirit OF
the mob has been sympathy with traitors In
arms But those who have stirred up these
internal spirits of anarchy, have found that
they cannot guide the mob they have raised
and they are compelled to ask the constituted
guardians of the public peace to deliver the
city from mob rule. We hope the people of
New York will learn from this terrible ex-
perience that law and order arej the highest
blessings which any people can enjoy. AMI we
trust they Will also learn who are the true
friends and supporters of public order, and who
render the readiest and most cheerful obedience
to law.

State Nominations.

GIVING AID AND COMFORT ToTHE MoD.-lhere
are certain class Of papers in the country that,
after having excited the passions Of violent men
dill they have blazed forth in the frenzy OF
fendish mob of violence, are now trying to
turn this mob against the Government, and use
II to compel the abandonment of any further at
tempts to raise soldiers 10 put down treason.
The New York World, after pleading theeause
of the murderers who have desolated 50 many
portions of that city, says
Men of all classes should unite and demand
that the CONSUMPTION be postponed. 1t Is SIMPLY
madness to try and enforce it. The present
mob is not really dangerous, as 1T has no organ
;za,ion, and the good sense, wealth, IN fact all
the great interests of the city, are against it.
But its suppression can only be guaranteed by
Dostponement Of the draft.
What shall we think Of. paper which de-
Clares that the Government must yield to the
demands of mob, which it declares in the
same paragraph L" is not really dangerous
hiss no organization" and is opposed by " al
the great interests of the city Does an!
one doubt where the Worlds sympathies are
and that it hopes to make this mob useful il
weakening the Government ?

EXEMPTIONS. In view of some inquiries on
the Subject of exemption, we offer the follow
ing suggest4ons
1st, We do not believe that person enrolled
and drawn by name different in some respects
from his true name, will on that account be ex-
empt The question to be decided will rather
BIO ,oho was enrolled and drawn. Unless this
was so, person might designedly give wrong
name to the enrolling officer, and thus secure
his exemption.
3D. We believe that no person who is exempt
because he is an alien over or under age, or for
any other reason, will, because he was errone-
ously enrolled, be compelled to 60 into the ser
vice. If enrolling officers have made mistakes,
they will be all corrected by the proper author
tiles on proof of the facts
These propositions appear too plain for argu-
ment, and we hope drafted men will consider
them when determining what course to take IL
their own cases.
1t will be wise to be as reasonable about the
draft, as about other things.

TIE DRAFr-After the draft in this (1st)
Congressional District had progressed til the
counties of Washington and Addison had been
completed, the Provost Marshal for the District
issued the following order
PRoyosT MARsHAL's OFFICE, FIRST DISTRICT, !
Rutland, July IL, 1868.
The draft for the five remaining sub-districts
in the lst District Of Vermont is hereby ad-
iourned until further notice.
C. R. CRANE, Capt. and Provost Marshal.
The reason for this suspension of the draft,
we understand to be, to give time to complete
the work of serving notices, &C., on those al
ready drawn.
The Draft is proceeding as usual in the Sd
District.

A JUST REBUKE.-We are glad to see the Bos-
ton Post, Democratic paper of the better sort,
condemning in severe terms the brutal, coward
ly and murderous assaults upon unofending ne
groes in the recent riots in New York. The
Post says:
cit is the meanest and most cowardly revenge
to persecute the poor negro. No blame can
justly attach to them. They have been pas
siye element in this dreadful controversy, and
to turn upon those defenseless beings with the
savage ferocity which has been exhibited, is a
brutality that deserves the seyerest execration
and punishment"
