There are not less than thirty thousand
troops at this moment in and about New
York CITY, exclusive of militia, By some
accounts there are forty and even fifty thou
sand-enough at all events for any work
that may Be in hand. What that work is,
or wheth Ter there really is any need of 50
great a plumber, are questions to which in
the best informed circles it is not easy to get
| an answer. The Government is In posses
sion Of some information, that IS clear; but
what? From the magnitude of its prepara-
tions, it can scarcely expect less than rev.
olu'ion, with Seymour at its head, and his
friends" to support him in hitherto unex-
pied numbers. But it is useless to speeu-
late, for the simple truth is that few, and
have good reasons to think, no one outside
of military headquarters, knows the mean
ing Of precautions so extensive.
One practical advantage will result from
th % presence of the troops, aside from the
savage dislike and dismay with which they
are contem plated by the insurrectionary ele-
ments The conscrpts will be Incorporated
with these regiments and return with them
to Virginia aud elsewhere; all difficulties
about the draft .depots and transportation
being thus avoided. Officers of some of the
regiments say they are to remain at least q
month; until the draft is we'll over and the
drafted men we'll out of the city. 1t is
noticeable that all, or nearly all, the troops
are from the West and from New England
none from New York. They fill all the
small squares and parks in the city. The
soldiers evidently like the change aud the
city. They would like it still better II the
mob would obige them with an opportunity
for active service. But rascality, in the
presence of thirty thousand bayouets, con-
tents itself with glarng sulkiIy on the men
who carry them, and growing not in
audibly, at safe distance.
Meanwhile. our streets are filed with |
honest, CHEEKY faces, bronzed and manly, |
and all good citizens rejoice in the exist
ence of undeclared martial law. Especially |
the negroes who have awaited, with unut-
terable anxieties, the resumption of the
draft, are assured of safety and of the right
to rem ain at work in the city. l saw let
ter written the week after the mob, to the
editor of a leading journal. in which the
writer exultiugly decl ared tn at the mob had
achieved a substantial victory; that the
Irish had possession of the labor of the city.
and that the blacks were driven every
where from employment. There was some
ground then for the boast; there is very
little now, and will be less than none six
months hence. Negro labor will be sough;
for more than before. The negroes by their
patient fortitude, lifted themselves above
he preiudices which existed too com monty
,gainst them, and such preiudices are much
ess general than before. There are many
,ases of hardship, of exclusion from places
leld before the mob, and of fear among en-
oloyers; but the reaction is rapid. its effects
ire already visible in many quarters, and
destined to be still more marked.
