THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK.
tFrom the New York Tribune, July a1.1
There was no disturbance whatever on Sun
day night, and good order prevailed through
ont the entire city Yesterday; The hundreds
sion, united with the mob, resumed their ayo-
cations yesterday, as on the commencement of 4
the week, and In no quarter could we perceive
any 1iotous demonstrations. The city, from
one end to the other, presented scene OF
greater business activity than We have Witness
ed for long time past, Colored people pass
ed freely through the streets, and were not
molcsted. The walters employed in several Of
the downtown sestaWEants took thelr accus-
toned places. a1d we're welcomed back by
many u their customers. The ugly crowds
haye disappeared from the street corners; tile
burglars, footpads, and pfckpockets we'll

jncenaiaries MD mnFderers are hldlug away
from the authorities, and 1t Is safe to appear
abroad in any part Of the city.
Coaches are Ennning Oh all the lines Of

1n The course Of Our pc.ambulations yes
PIC express the opinion that tue resumption
of the draft would only lead to another out
break; but the general sentiment seems to be
that the Government must enforce 1t, at all
events. It Is said that the rioters arc now well
organized, ard that sooner than permit the
draft to proceed, or ratler than permit any OF
their number to be forced Into the ranks,
they will make general bonfire Of the city.
In whatever light the presence Of the large
military force4now stationed about town my
be viewed, but little or any expression Of
opinion is made In regard to them.
At the Provost Marshal Generals headquar-
tiers In Leonard street, aud at the offices Of the
other Mu1shals, all was quiet, and prepara.
items were making to continue the draft
There will be no change In the manner Of
drawing. but 1t will be conducted In the same
