been full Of anxiety, disappointment and sadness.
would not murmur against the Good Being whs

for bis graeiou, help, by which Twas enabled to-
continue the school under many and serious en-

thank you from my henrt, for the sympathy, goed

= Enforced.
The New York Herald OF the 18th instant
gives tho following:
: The great riot in New York had been for
the time suppressed, and the draft was to be
enforcch. :sly
The Herald says:. "Almost perfect order
reigned throughout the whole city yesterday.
The wards where tho highest excitement had
prevailed, were filled with large bodies of
military, vino patroled, the streets entirely
unmolested By the populace."
Mayer Opdyke bad issued a proclamation,
in which he says, the riutous asscmblsges
having becn dispersed, business-is running in
its usual channels. The people are warned
against unlawful combinations. having for
their object the .usurpation Of the laws ;islo
give no heed to persons warning them to de-
,sist from their occupations; but to arrest
such persons for punishment, as conspi rators.
( The Provost Marshal, General had issued
newzorders from Washington, as follows:
3, g Provost Marshals are informed that no
orders have been issued countermandiIg the
draft. s..s.,.ss s.,e
q Adequate force has been ordered by the

The Herald correspondents dispatch from

that the Government intends to carry out the
