THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK.
PERFECT ORDER PREVAILING.

The draft in the city of New York, ich
was interrupted in July by the riot, was re-
snmed yesterday in the Sixth Congressional
District. The utmost qniet prevailed, and
there is every reason TO believe that the drast
wiii now be allowed 10 go on peacefully. and
that the law will be fully enforced The
drawing yesterday took place al No Isl Sixth
avenue, and long before the hour announced
tcr the drawing 10 commence a large crowd
had assembled in and about the building
bnt 30 one present appeared to be in
clined 10 engSge in q riot or disturbance No
soldiers were Immediately at the building,
outside, bul as precautionary measure a de-
tachment was placed in the second aud thir
story OF the building, and regiments were 81
disposed in the immediate neighborheod as 1,
be within speedy call. A police force Of ON
hundred men was detailed for duty isr aud
around the room where the drawing took place
a toEm Emittae OF prominent citizens counted
me ballots and placed them in the wheel.
When Inc announcement was made that 7,70S
ballots lad been placed in the wheel. and tka,
OF that number but LILO, or one out of seven,
were TO be taken, the crowd seemed much
pleased, and made such expressions as, ais that
AL >, "Ihats not much" &c.
The names were drawn by man named
Nlshop, who has been blind for ten years; but
In order 10 "make ass urance doubly sure he
was also hlindfolded
The blind man asked to be shown how TO
opeE the door. On Captain Farr, the Prov vost
Marshal, showing him, he was greeted by one
OF the crowd with keep your hands out OF the
box
When ready to proceed he was saiuted with
many good-natured remarks, such as 1Wont
you take drink!' Take OF your eoatn
One irishman, more impatient than the others,
said, "Dont lose so much time hurry up and
let MS go heme'' Nze. 80
The blindman took oil his coat and rolled up
ms SHIRT sleeves before proceeding to draw the
names.
The first name drawn was received with
three hearty cheers, hut Capt Farr requested
that no more such boisterous demons trations
be made, and after that there was no con fusion;
but as names were drawn and the parties re-
cogniZed, good deal of merriment was
created. .. II ! = = I
The District in which this drawing took
place is said to be one Of the most quiet and
peaceable in the city; but the good feeling
manifested, and the absence of the roughs and
that class who create disturban ces, induces the
belief that no more such degraceful scenes as
those of July will be again enacted.

II Reinforcpments for British America-The
Polish Question still lUn>ettled-Proposed ed
Rebel Alliance with Mexico.
st. John, August l9.-The steamship Sidon.
from Liverpool on the tn instant, was boarded
oday of Cape Race by the news yacht OF the
Associated Press.
tt ere are rumors OF reinforcements to be sent
to the British army in British North America.
The Polish question remains in Statt fuO.
The latest news, VIA Queenstown, states that
il is generally asserted that Maximilian will
accept the Mexican crown.
The Times says there is rumor that, in con-
America, the Goyernnent intends sending
additional troops to British North America
The Times says it would not be surprised if
something arose out of the alleged proposition
OF JEFF. Davis TO Napoleon for an offensive and
defensive alliance between Mexico, under
French protection, and the Confederates which
would be quite COZ sistent with the late French
policy. TIE world might look with favor on
such contingency, but absolute neutrality
would bic England's policy. .-
The Times looks upon the election OF the
Arehduke Macmillan in Mexico as important,
and says it will have tendency to a union be-
tween France and Austria, and division be-
tween France and America. The northerners
must be lncensed against Napoleon, and the
Federals can hardly tail to come IN collision
with the new empire.
] he Daily News is bitter on the French policy
IL Mexico, and does not believe the Archduke
VIII accept the throne.
La fatrle asserts tn2t the Archduke made
acceptance dependent on the consent of the
Empire OF Austria.
La France says if he accepts, France and
England will recognize him immediately, and
other powers will follow.

duke.
