TIE DRAFT IN New YoRK.-The Ft
ming Post makes the annexed interesting
statements respecting The draft in Me-
York CITY:
81 When the draft will go on depend
partly upon the result of efforts now max. |
ing by the city and State authorities p|
have the figures upon which our quota was
assigned corrected according to the facts
1t is believed. We understand by the
Governor of this State and by Mayor
Opdyke, upon evidence carefully collected
that the STATE and city of New York have
not only filled their quotas hitherto as
compared with the number of troops tu
nlshed by other States, but have, or ought
TO have, an excess to their credit; further,
that the number of men called for from
this city Is higher proportlonately than 1t
should be, aud Senator Morgan has been
deputed to proceed to Washington to IN
vestgate the facts according TO the records
there on file, and to take such action as
will protect the rights of the State.
The Senator was authorized TO proteS
on behalf of Mayor Opdyke, as the heat
of the city government, against the exac
ton of any unjust quota here, and th
Mayor takes the ground that if the whOl
| number of volunteers furnished by NeV
York city from the commencement of Ii
war be duly considered, the fact will
made manifest that the city is not benin
the 9th districts of the State Therefore
that a deduction should be made.
The decision of these questions, which
should of course be made before the draft
is effected, will probably delay the draw
ings beyond this week.

The MISSISSIPPI. - 1t is stated that
Gen Grant, very soon after the surrender
of Vicksburg to the United States forces
under his command, dispatched the steam
er Imperial to New Orleans, with instruc-
tons to return to St. Louis as fast as
steam could carry her. The object of
this demonstration, it is said, was to show
to the world that the Mississippi is open
for navigation its entire length, with no
other interruption than may be expert
enceed from few guerrillas who may for
time nfest the banks of the river.
A Washington dispatch says that the
Post-ofice Department will resume COM
munication between the West and New
Orleans by the Mississippi, as soon as il
shall ascertain that it can be done witt
safety. The mails between the Atlanti,
cities and New York will continue to b,
carried in the usual way.

Eastern States have operated to the SER
Gus detrlment of the hay fields and the rye
harvest, considerable quantity having
been lost and much more which has beel
got in is badly damaged. But while thes
crops have suffered, others have gained
wonderfully by the abundant moisture fOI
which three weeks ago they were suffering
greatly. The after-swath is coming IN 4
rate that promises to make up the de-
cheney of the first crop. Corn is grow
rapidly, is of good color and looks @
promising, wherever it got fair start
fore the drought.
From the West we hear that corn
forward and very promising. With slgn!
exceptions the promise now of abandan.
crops of the principal staples may DC s ~
down as very encouraging, though 'n'
harvest will be late. :.
Fruit is very uneven in It's proauS' -
different sections. In some orchards 'nVl'
will be but very little. while in others un
prospect is good. 1t is difficult TO oeV sa'
upon the aggregate supply unless one ~
been over larger tract of country 'n''
that from which we have heard IL.
The sweet bough apples have maze 'pn
appearance in market this week. ll'l
are brought from New York, are
about half grown, and sell at 80 a Dan, PAN,
retailing from the shops and street S''"
at one cent each.-BoSton IraUeltsr'
