RIOTIN NEW YORK,

The Northern draft was commenced last
week in New York. On Monday, it was
resumed and there ensued a large and bloody
riot. which continued throughout Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday. Col O,Brieu
of the Army and number of officers and
privates of the New York Militia were kill
ed and also some of the rioters. Many
houses were sacked and burned. and man
taken for Horace Greedy was beaten severe
~. Gov. Seymour made speech, prom
ising that the draft should not be enforced.
Lincoln afterwards telcgraphed to this eff
feet: Riots have occurred at other places
where, as at New York, they will not enforce
the draft It only surprises us that these
riots did not commence in the West Per.
haps the fall of Vicksburg may explain the
mystery. We copy from the Herald of the
10Th the following:
The riot con tinued all Of Wednesday
without abatement.
The draft is positiue7y suspended.
Several dreadful conflicts took place be-
tween the military aud the people and there
was terrible fighting in East Nineteenth
Street. The military were com pletely rou-
ted. Col. Jardine was wounded, and a Cap
tain and Lieutenant Of the 9th New York
Militia, were killed.
There was great slaughter Of the soldiers
and populace, forty dead bodies lying in one
place.
The negroes were greatly prosecuted, and
thr e hung.
Government Street was completely sack
ed. A great flight Of negroes took place.
The Council has appropriated two and a
half millions for conscripts. Several build
Jugs in the Twenty first ward were sacked
Severe fighting took place at the Seventh
Avenue Hospital, accompanied by heavy
loss Of life. Disturbances have also taken
place at Boston, Newark Y orkville, Har-
lem, Brooklyn. Jamaica, West Chester, and
other places, but not SO serious as at New
York.

FEMALE spy.

Mrs. Mary j. Allen, formerly Of
Richmond, but native of Cincinnati,
was arrested by Gen. Winder's order,
on account of having written several
letters to persons in the North giving
information sufficient to condemn her
as spy, and when brought before
Gen. Winder she confessed having
written the letters Base ingratitude
is exhibited to the family Of DR.. Hoge,
whom she recommends should be ar
rested on his return from Europe and
confined during the war, while as late
as the time of her arrest she was en-
joying the Inequalities Of his house as
a guest. She is at present under
guard but what will be done with hel
has not transpired.

The enemy, with one Regiment of
Cavalry and parts Of two Regiments Of
Infantry made raid on Wytheville,
on Sunday last, and were met by
about 100 men under Maj. T. NJ.
Bowyer. After a skirmish in the
Streets Of three quarters Of an hour,
Maj. Bowyer was compelled to retire
bringing off part of his command.
Capt. Oliver. and two citizens were
killed, and 1t. Rosary badly wound

Zone commanding the Brigade) one
Major and seven privates killed and
one 1t. Colonel and IS privates
wounded and in our hands 1t is re-
ported they lost all their field officers
They left Wytheville, after burning
the Jail, Commissary and QHartermas-
ter store-houses and several private
houses and damaging the Rail Road
slightly, retreating towards Tazewell
Court House. Il is supposed that the
force at Wytheville was only a de-
tachment of larger force which
threatens an advance on other points

rank OF Major is assigned to each State and posa
Quartermaster, with the rank Of Captain. to each
collect the tenth. W
Each Congressional District will be subd; s;ded
by the Post in charge of it into Sec
tions,for the convenient delivery by the taxpayer
of his quota OF produce, and agents will be av
pointed by that officer to take charge of the de-.
pots to be established in each section
Before these 'epots can be established, or the
assessments required under the law be made, the
crops OF small grain, hay, and the clio of wool for
the present year will have been secured
To relieve farmers from the risk and inconveu
fence OF storing the Government portion, as well
to obtain immediate supplies for the use of the
army, the Department authorizes and requests
farmers residing near posts where Quartermasters
are stationed to deliver the government tepth
or any part of it, to that Quar:ermaster.
Under the law, farmers are required to deliver
their tenth at depOts not more than eight miles
from the place of production. If they will deliver
under this request, the Government will pay for
the transportation in excess of eight miles. The
Quartermaster receiving produce under the rule
will give receipts to the producer as evidence that
so much of his tax is paid. And as the Pos: Quar-.
termaster of the Congressional District is RESPONSE
