clerks. A detachment of forty men, from
the 4sth Regiment N. G., under command of
Captain shutherly, Company G, and Lieuten-
ant Smith, Company K, guarded the en-
trance to the Office, and none but the officials
and clerks, committees from the counties and
towns to be drafted, reporters, and other
persons whose presence was necessary, were
admitted. There was apparently, however,
no need of any great precaudon.-
Little excitement was manifested.
Knots of men would gather on the sunny
side of the street, opposite, and, looking up
to the open window where the " drafting
machine" was visible, and the operation
was going on, would cut stereotyped jokes
on the subject, but there was no sign of
deep feeling or excitement in the matter.
This was doubtless owing to the fact that on
this day the counties of Summit and Lake, il
which our citizens felt no great personal in
terest, we're drafted, and the scene to-day
will probably be one of greater excitement.
The draft commenced promptly at nine
O'Clock. Provost Marshal Nash called the
gentlemen present to order, and announced
that it would proceed, beginning with Frank
lin, Summit county. The whole number Of
tickets for the particular township to be
drawn were to be placed. in the wheel,and the
number required from the township were to
be drawn and announced. The remainder
were then to be taken out and counted to
verify the account.
Each ticket bore the name Of one man,
endorsed on the back with the township aud
county to which he belonged, and the
sheet on the Provost MarshaPs lists on
which his name was written. The tickets
for each township had been counted, tied
and placed together in a sealed envelope, and
were now opened and placed in the bo1-a
tin cylinder, in shape resembling a cheese
box, hung so as to be easily turned on its
axis-by the Provost Marshal. After being
thrown in, they were thoroughly shaken
up by turning the wheel around, its motion
being frequently reversed. A young man,
named Ansel Pillsbury, selected from among
the spectators, was bIindfoEded, and drow the
names from the wheel. They were handed
to Commissioner Kirkpatrick, who an
nounced them and handed them to clerk to
be strung, ,as ballots are strnng in an election
count Two other clerks took down the
names, in duplicate, as they we're annOunced'
and third filed out notifications to the draf-
ted men. After the requisite number were
drawn, the remaining tickets were taken out,
counted-being found, in all cases, to agree
with the enrolIment-and again sealed up
together.
The sPP~satHs for drafting was placed at
an open window in full view of the street.
The draft commenced with
