THE CITY.
WILL THERE BE ANOTHER DRAFT?—
Yesterday morning the provost marshal of the First
district had before him one hundred drafted men to
pass judgment upon their claims for exemption, to
receive the commutation fee of those who did not
obtain substitutes, and enlist such as desired to
enter the service. Out of the whole number ninety-
SU were exempted l Of the remaining four, one paid
commutation, two furnished substitutes, and the
other reported for duty. The latter was Mr. Sohn
L. Norcross, a reporter. NU. Norcross enters the
army, and will no doubt serve hie country as effectu
ally with the musket as he has heretofore done with
his pen. Literally, he in "one man out of a hun
dred " and we wish him awarded with all the honors
in his future career that intelligence and patriotism
merit. This single instance of the leniency of the
conscription act will strike every one with astonish
ment. The proportion of those entering the army
and those whose names are drawn from the wheel is
so very large as to justify the belief that in none of
the districts will the quota be obtained. To have
provided for exempted oases, by the drafting of fifty
per cent. more than were needed was a wise measure,
but to have drawn one hundred and fifty per cent.
additional would have been wiser. Those who flat
tered themselves with the pleasing hope of escape;
because their names happened to be among the
" fifty per cents.," will find another illustration of
the deceptions of' hope and the uncertainty of all hu
man calculations: We are assured there is no expec
tation that the quota will be obtained in any of the
districts, even with the fifty per cent. additional. We
hear many complaints that the boards of enrolment
show a readier disposition to grant an exemption
than to examine the grounds for such exemption.
These complaints are, in every case, unjust. The
most rigid examination Ashes place in every in
stance, save where the "physical disability " is so
very marked that an examination would be a pal
pable waste of time. There are certain men; for
instance, whom the surgeon would pronounce unfit
even before they had placed their feet upon the three.-
hOld. Oapt. Lehman, in the First district, is not
satisfied with an affidavit in many cases where par
ties claim exemption on account of non-age. alien
age, He requires baptismal records, 'family
bibles, and the most undoubted evidence of the truth
of the statements made. It is not generally known
that those who ate exempted on this draft because
of never having been naturalized or voted, non-age,
Sz.c„ are liable to be again drafted. Their names
are preserved, and the pleas of exemption recorded.
What will avail today may be of no service to
1 hem again •, and the " exempt" may yet be a " con
script." in two or thi ee weeks it can-he stated
with more definiteness, whether there will indeed
be another draft in this city to fill up our quota of
the 300,000 men called for by the President. Pre
sent indications favor the presumption that there
will be more work for the provost marshals than
they at first anticipated. We are requested to state
by one or two of the provost marshals, that the ex
aminations of the board of enrolment are open to
any official, reporter of the press, or others who
might entertain an idea that the proceedings are
not conducted with strictness and impartiality.
FORT DRI.AWAR.E.—A. number of the de
-legates of the Christian Commission left the city on
Saturday an e moon last. on boardthe steamer Major'
Ea 3 bold. for Fort Delaware. in order to assist the
worthy chaplalirkat that point in ministering to the
ten or eleven thousand soldiers under their charge.
The Rev. Mr. Paddock, of the Episcopal Church,
has care of the prisoners;andißev Mr. Way, of the
Methodist Church, of te United States soldiers
composing the garrison.
•The rebel prisoners are placed in barracks outside
of the fort. They are divided into three or four
apartments, each surrounding a large court yard.
When service is to be held among the men, the
speaktr enters the court yard at one end, and takes
his stabd in some favorable position, and commences
the singing of some familiar hymn. There may be
but thirty or forty persons around him at the tune,
but the number soon swells to hundreds or thou
sands.
What is very noticeable and encouraging is the
marked attention the prisoners give to every word
uttered in their hearing, not the slightest indecorum
exhibited by any of them while the gospel message
is being delivered.
A delegate of the Commission, who signs himself
J. P.. writes to us as follows :
I could but feel deep sorrow of heart as I looked
upon the filthy appearance of the men, and then
upon the eager, upturned faces of the thousands be
fore me, in the reflection that necessity existed for
their confinement in that place. -A feeling of pity
for these deluded men unavoidably takes possession
of the mind. while for those who have deceived
them you can indulge no sympathy.
No matter where you turn your gaze, whether
upon, the battle field, in the hospitals, or the prisons
—whether in their desolated homes or hearts—wheth
er in a violated Constitution, broken laws, or a dis
honored flag—the enormity of the orime connected
with the authors of this unholy rebellion every
where appears, and the wafflings of widows and or
phans will prove the most effectual prayers ad
dressed to Heaven for vengeance upon these wicked
leaders of their country's misery.
As the Sabbath sun was setting' in the western
sky, we turned our attention to a more pleasant
quarter. In the centre of the tents, just outside the
walls of the fort, upon the green grass, we called to.
gether the Union troops.
Although the Gospel is designed for the chief-of
sinners, it is no less a source of joy and consolation
to those who, in obedience to laws human and Di.
vine, bow the knee in prater, and raise the voice to
Him who is alike the pod of *nations and of men.
The Union soldiers, while they give thoughtful at.
tention to all that is said to them, do not surpass, in
'Vs, particular, their less favored prisoners. But
6 '." 'there is something manly and dignified in boy
one's country, and when stamped upon the
brow of the,. soldier, the religion of the Gospel is
ealculateak beautify and adorn.
My heart- mounted upward as thine songs of
praise. to God ab , ended upon the evening breeze to
Heaven. And I e.teernad it a great privilege to
guide the thoughts ritlhoSits men unto the Word of
life, and /pray for the \ spirit to seal it upon their
hearts.- -
May God bless the upholding of eunstitutional
law and order over our whole 'n , nd, and succeed
their endeavors In bringing peace to our distracted
country.
Allow me to say that, in addition to rA k at
Christian Commission provided for the temporal
comfort of these men, my friends, Bucknor & Itig-
Cammon, aided me very effectually in procuring.

'ENTICING SOLDIERS TO DESERT—CONVICTIONS 'UN
DER TEE CONSCRIPTION ACT:
Yesterday Jacob Rautz, a German, residing at
New Haven, Lancaster county, was put on trial,
charged with enticing soldiera to desert, and buying
from soldiers their equipments and uniforms. The
indictment is drawn in accordance with the .provi-
Mona of.the 24th section of the conscription act,
which is as follows : •
And be it further enacted, That every person not
subject to the rules and articles of war who shall
procure or entice, or attempt to procure or entice, a
soldier in the service of the United States to desert,
or who shall harbor, conceal, or give employment to
a deserter, or carry him away, or aid in carrying
him away, linowicg him to be such ; or who should
purchase from any soldier his arms, equipments,
smmunitfon, uniform, clothing, or any part thereof,
he shall, upon legal cop . viction, be fined at the dis
cretion of any court having cognizance of the same,
in any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars, and
he shall be imprisoned not exceeding two years, nor
less than six months.
From the evidence that was offered in the case, it
appears that the officers of the Government, in
Lancaster county, received information, some time
ago, that the defendant was harboring two deserters,
and they accordingly paid a visit to his house one
'morning before daylight, and arrested him, Be ad
mitted that the men had been there for two - weeks,
but said that they had told him they were paroled
prisoners on their way home, and they had gone
away the day before. The house was searched, and
under the ticking of a bed ii. the garret two sets of
soldiers uniforms were discovered. Rentz en
davored to explain this, by saying that they had
given him $4 and their old uniforms, for their board
and lodging. It was in evidence, also, that Rentz
had visited Lancaster, and purchased two suits of
citizen's clothes. -
On behalf of the defendant it was contended that
he had no knowledge that they were deserters, and
that there was no proof of their being so.
Judge - Oadwalader thought that the evidence did
not warrant a conviction on that portion of the bill
of indictment charging, the harboring of deserters.:
but that there wss evidence, if the jury believed the
testimony, sufficient to warrant it'sxmviction on that
portion charging the defendant with having pur
chased soldiers' uniforms and equipments. On the
first iiortion , of the indictment he instructed the
jury to Tender a verdict of not guilty; on the other
portion the case was left with the:jury. They were
absent but a short time, when they returned with a
verdict of guilty on the third, flfth, and sixth counts
of the indictment charging the defendant with pur
chasing uniforms and equipments. They also re
commended the prisoner to mercy. - 41 --
Lewis 0. Cassidy, Esq., who appeared for the pri
soner, immediately gave notice of a motion for a
rule for a new trial.
J. Hubley Ashton, Esq., appeared for the Govern-
Inca. This is the first conviction under the con
scription act.
John Stiger pleaded guilty to a charge of enticing
soldiers to desert, and was sentenced to an imprison•
meat of ids months in the Eastern Penitentiary.

SENTENCES.
Yesterday was a busy day in this court, the long
and unusual adjournments having been productive
of a vast amount of business. The prisoners' dock

dated with seats in front of it. The indications are
that there will be no more adjournments during the
term. The following persona were /sentenced at the
close of the session
William B. Hunt, 'for larceny, six months.

Payii , g for, their Pugnacity.
Patrick.McNulty and. Robert Miller were ar
raigned yesterday afternoon, on the charge of vio
lating an ordinance of the city, by obstructing the
paesengerraihohd on Sixth Street. It seems that
each Wail driving a furnitrire oar on the track. One
would not turn out for the other. The man driving
down the track had the right , under the law. The
other man -driving up the track, and consequently
against the usual course of travel, was in the wrong,
most decidedly. Orowds of spectators '
assembled on
each side of the way, interested in the progress of
events,, and anxious to witness the termination,
The horror' heads were - pretty near leash other.lThe
driven seemed to be entirely indifferent to each
other's fate.
"Get off the track," said one.
"I won't," said the other, as he struck a match
to light his pipe.
"Well, I don't keer, you may smoke per pipe,
and Pll read a newspaper ;" so:saying he produced
an old paper that probably contained news to him.
"What's the news'?" shouted an enthusiastic
little man on the sidewalk.
"Is Fort Sumpter taken'!"
"How are you, rebel"
"What's the news from Charleston?"
These, and any number of other questions, were
propounded, as might be expected, from a curiosity
hunting crowd of promiscuous humanity.
The two drivers were doggedly indifferent to all
surroundings ; one read, the other puffed at his pipe.
Presently a railroad car came down the track.
The driver thereof sounded his whistle, but no at
tention was paid to it. The whistle wag repeated
again and again, but still the driver of the down• ear
was deaf to its shrill tones. The pugnacity of the
two men was destined to an abrupt and, to them, an
unexpected termination. Officer E. Hart arrested
both the parties and took them at once to the alder
man's office. After a hearing the penalty of $5 was
inflicted. One of the defendants paid the amount
with costs. The other in default thereof was com
mitted.
[Before Mr. Alderman Bolder.
Irrnit Stands.
The proprietor of a fruit stand, at Ninth and Ship
pen streets, was arraigned at the Central Station,
yesterday afternoon, on the charge of maintaining a
nuisance. The prosecution was brought by the pro
prietor of a Idrug store at the corner, in front of
which the stand is erected. The keeper of the stand
was requested to remove it, but he refused. Hence
the suit. He was held to bail in the sum of $6OO to
answer at court.
We might state here, for the benefit of stand•occu
pants generally, that the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania decided, years ago, that such stands are
nuisances. Several suits have been brought before
the inferior courts, and a verdict necessarily fol
lowed against the defendants. In some cases parties
occupying houses have rented a certain amount of
space to be used as fruit stands, and have even gone
so far, as to lease the same for a term of years.
Other parties have succeeded the occupants of the
houses, and demanded a removal of the stands be
fore the termination of the lease. One or,two cases
of this kind have been heard in our Court of Quarter
Sessions, and verdicts, however hard they seemed
to be, were given against the occupants of the
stands. As there seems to be a sort of crusade
against the stands, perhaps it would he well to enter
suit against any person who has rented, or may rent
or lease, any part of the highway for such purposes.
A large number of the stand occupants are aliens,
who claim to be subjects of foreign Powers, and
thus escape the draft.
(Before Mr. Alderman White.]
Attempted Homicide.
A colored man, giving the name of Middleton
Morris, was sent to prison yesterday, on the charge
of committing an assault and battery upon his wife,
with intent to kill. The sanguinary deed occurred
between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday night,
in a house near Lombard and Hurst streets.
Screams of murder, emanating from the house, at
tracted the attention of Officers Hamilton and
Sparks, who immediately hastened, to the place,
broke in the door, and discovered the defendant
with a razor, trying to kin his wife. The woman
was badly cut in the breasts, arms, cheek, and there
were several other gaihes in her neck and back.
The room was like a slaughter pen. The blood was
upon the wall ,and floor in almost any quantity.
The officers entertain the opinion that the woman
would have been murdered upon the spot, had they
not so timely interfered. .The woman was removed
to the Penn Hospital. ;Tealousy is said to be the
cruise of this brutal attack. Morrie is of a morose
.. . . .
disposition ; he has be,eif in the hands of the police
on several occasions for maltreating his wife. He
assigned no reason at the Alderman's office for at
tempting to commit a murder.
private Watchman In a Scrape. •
Michael Donnell is the name given by a man who
was employed as a private watchman to guard sun
dry crates of earthenware from the hands of despoil
ers. The crates were located on Lombard street,
near the wharf. At an early hour yesterday morn
ing Officer Graham,' of the Harbor police, observed
the watchman make two or three trips from the
crates and return after a short absence. His suspi
cions were aroused, and he closely watched the fur
ther movements of the private guardian. Observing
him going away for the third time the officer ma
naged to intercept him. On searching him he found
the defendant had in his.possession a large stone
pitcher, half a dozen figured cups and saucers, a.
couple of mugs, and one or two articles that he had
stolen from the crates. This evidence was deemed
conclusive. The accused was committed in default
of $l,OOO bail to answer at court.
[Before Mr. Alderman Shane.]
Riotous Conduct. &c.
David Davis, Michael Conner, and Richard Lane
are the cognomens given by three young men ar
raigned yesterday on the charge of riotous conduct
and assault and battery upon Mr. J. H. Simee, who
keeps a public house in the vicinity of Tenth and
Poplar streets. From the evidence, it appears the
defendants entered the house on Tuesday evening
and called for something to drink. Mr. Simes did
not choose to sell them anything, whereupon they
became riotous. Mr. S. tried to eject them and they
resisted. Mrs. Shoes, in the endeavor to assist her
husband, had one of her fingers badly bitten by one
of the cannibal trio. It is alleged that Conner corn
ratted the atrocious assault upon the lady. He was
required to enter bail in the sum of $1,200 to answer.
The other two in the *sum of $5OO each.

DEAR SIR: During the night of May 19, 1863, our Gro
cery and Provision , Store, at North Second and Willow
streets, took fire at about 2 o'clock A. M., and as the
store was a two-story wood building it burnt rapidly,
and before the fire•engines could act upon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including much combustible ma
teriel, and amounting to over $2.000, were wholly do
stroyed. -We had one . of your No. C. Chilled Iron Safes.
which was in the hottest part of the fire, andat came out
of the lire not in the least injured, except the melting of
of the name, plate And paint.= The contents inside were
not affected in the Nast, and we consider the Safejust u
good a protection against fire now as before, and shall
use it hereafter with increased confidence. The look
works as perfectly as before the fire.
Yours truly, MCMANIIS mart

guested, as it is the first trial of LILLIE'S SAFES in alt
