TIE DRAFT IN NEW-YORK.

As the approaching conscription is the foremoa
theme of conversation at this time among our cia~
zcus generally we lay before our readers all tho
facts that our reporters have been able to obtain In
regard TO the matter. Thus far everything has pro-
gre.sed quietly, and the people generally appear 70
consider the draft as matter Of course, for We have
been unable to learn Of any undue excitement in
regard to it in any section. Many stories bsve been
circulated to the effect that bands, gangs and COM
panes have been organized here and there with the
intent on Of resisting the draft and that the members
are armed and drilled hold secret meetings and 70
forh; but from all that we can learn no such or.
csnizations exist, and even II they did they will
amount TO nothing. We hear however, that num-
ber Of companies have been formed for the purpose
Of providing more substitutes IN case the drsft
should fall upon any OF the members OF such orgsni'
cations or of Tightening tho burden of the $500 ex.
emption clause upon the members. fund Is formed
by each member paying In $lO or so, US tho no
ciety may determine.
The draft iu this city will be made by wards.
which constitute a sub-dstrict, stated quota Of 20
many men being assigned to each. The modus
operand will be somewhat ss follows; The name Of
each person enrolled. with his residence and color
lwhito or black will be Inscribed upon slip Of
paper about six inches in length and in breath.
Each slip will be rolled tightly, and bound with Q
ring Of Inia.rubber. The lot thus prepared will be
placed in n revolving wheel on high platform and
drawn out by the Provost Marshal, or some person
by him designated, one by one, ut each revolution
OF the wheel The following sections from the regu-
lations of the War Department fully explain the
