The impression that there was foul play intended in the management of the draft in New York city, was the causa of the riot which swelled to such great propor tions, and which committed bo many ter rible and revolting outrages. Bat if we consider for a moment the provocation to riot, we must conclude that the dark game sters behind the soenea are responsible for its consequences. Conscription laws are at all times and under all circumstances repulsive to any people j bnt if they are to be enforced, the proceedings should not be only fair, bnt beyond suspicion of ■wrong. Ii those in authority manifest disregard for law, they bnt set an example to the apprehensive multitude, and are really and morally responsible for any outrages whioh the latter may commit. And this is precisely the state of the oase in relation to the late monstrous riot in New York. Tae late correspondence between Gov. Seymour, and President Lincoln, proves that the suspicions of the people of New York wre well founded That city, with thirty thousand of a Democratic majority, was called upon to furnish about twice the number asked for from strong abolition districts in the interior. Gov. Seymour demonstrates this by figures ; and, in hit rejoinder to the President, (which we pub isii in another column,) demonstrates to any one's satisfaction, that the draft in the stale o: New York was designed for the basest of party purposes. From the man ner in which the Administration intended to enforce the conscription, in New York, we can readily conclude what the secret purpose of its enforcement was and is. The rebellion in the South is tumbling to pieces j from every quarter we have borne to us upon every breeze the lamenta tions of the baffled conspirators, and the rtjoicings of the Southern people. The resources of the South in men, money and every aaxillery are well nigh wasted, while whoie States are moving to return to their allegiance. In the face of these notorious fceta, our Administration, in stead of Bending word of encouragement and hope to the repentant Bicner, howls for the enforcement of a conscription which, as is proven now, is not necessary, except to enable Abolitioniam to carry certain State elections. In view of each outrages the reader cannot wonder that the advocates of them are anxious to stifle investigation and discussion of public af* fairs. No wonder they desire to confound the Government with a stupid administra tion of it, and convict of disloyalty all who doubt the infallibility of its decrees. There is a purpose, there must be a purpose beyond the one given, for these proceedings. No man can say that the flagrant injustice pointed ont by Governor Seymour, is a matter of channel the draf wheel has “freaks,” but none so strange as those to which he directs the Presi dent’s attention. Alluding to this Bub. jeetthe World remarks: “With just and manly indignation, Governor Seymour picks up Mr. Lincoln’s description of Jeff Davis' conscription, inserts a barb m the end of it, and hurls it like a javelin into the very heart of the dishonest partisan ap ponionment in this State, If Davis drives every able-bodied man he can reach into his slaughter-pen, his conscription has at least the merit of impartiality; while the monstrous discrimination against Demo cratic districts in this state, for the pur pose of extinguishing the Democratic ma jority at future elections, discloses a depth of political baseness which renders Mr. Li ncoln’s prating about the imperative neces sity of his notion contemptible. There are a dozen states which are behind New York in the proportion of men they have furnished in which the draft has not been commenced. If the necessity is so pres tlng, why not complete the consoription in them, and let New York wait until Bhe can have the benefit of an honest enrol ibfEt? No reason can be alleged, except a determination to make the draft in New York an engine of partisan oppression for enforcing it here cn a palpably fraud nlent enrollment, while it is pat off in ether states from which no oomplaiot is made. Mr. Lincoln is politically blind If he does not perceive that this question is feet passing beyond the domain of argument. More Democrats will be left in New York than he can take away conscripts to the war; and it behooves him to oonsider whether onr armies in the Sooth will be really strengthened by a proceeding which wil) create a necessity f or l arge armies in every loyal state.

A correspondent of the St. Louis fie publicangivea the following aceountof the late outrage upon the Beckham family by negro soldiers. The unfortunate victims were closely connected with.thelate Major Beckham's family in Allegheny City : ® T- Louts, Augußt 7th. “We landed at a place called Comnro m.ee, m iennessee, near the dividing line Ee f ntnck y TennesseeT and heard there from netghborsof a mosthor ribie murder committed on Tnesday, the 4th. Eighteen negro soldiers, fully armed, having come from camp on Island No. 10 went to the house of Mr. Frank Beckham on the river immediately where we landed this morning and murdered him, aged 40 years, his old father, Mrj. Bsnj. Beck ham, aged SO, and four children ol Mr. F. Bickham—Laura, aged 14; Kate, aged 10, Caroline, aged 7, and Richard, aged ■> years._ They 6rst caught Mr. F. Beckham and his aged father, tied them, marched them to the edge of the hank of the river shot and stabbed them, and threw iheir bodtes into the water. They then threw little Dick into the river; tied the twu youngest gills together, and threw them m; tfaeu ravished the oldest girl, and beat her over the head with their mnskets until she sank down. The bodtes cf old Major Beckham and theyonngsat child have been recovered. Many of oar passengers and mys»lf went to the house aud saw them. Fortunately two ol the family of children wore off a' school, and the mother and one child four years old went np to Owensboro, Ky with us on onr last trip. All the rest bh' murdered.

The exploits of that branch of the military service are recorded m our telegraphic dispatches of yesterday. Fif teen negro soldiers, armed and nniformed. visited the house of a planter in the neigh borhood, killed him and his father, and threw their bodies into the water, threw his lrttfe son alive alter them, bound two young girls together and threw them-into the river, and after consummating the sum of all imqnmes upon the person of the eldest daughter, sent her after the rest to a watery grave. They made short work of a defenceless and unarmed family these brave disciples of Adjutant Gen eral Ihomas negro theory, bix unofTsn [ ding and harmless individuals were butch ered with all the savagery that brutish in stincts could suggest.

Fatal Besult of Careless Driving. On SatHrday afternoon, a boy aged 18 while furiously driving a butcher's wagon along the railway on Baltimore street, struck aud ran over a nurse aud two young children, a son and daughter of Wns. A. Boyer. The youngest child was so badly injured that It died soon after the accident, and the other, though “eri ODely hurt, ib expected to recover The nurse received injuries which it is thought wi l prove fata!: the horse trod upon fhe left side of her head, just above the eve mashing in the forehead and seriously in’ mnng the eye, _ and also trod upon h»r left hand, cutting and mashing it f n a hor rible manner; her body was cut and bruis ed, and she also received internal injury ihe young man whose careless driving cansed the accident, was, after a hearing ofthecoseby a Coroner’s Jury, finally committed to jail for the aotion of the grand jury, on the charge of causing Lejts Boyer’s death, by rnnning over A Pirate Sighing for an Artist. Il is related in a Manchester paper, by a sufferer from Semmes’ piracies, that the amiable pirate has an eye for grandeur, and sighs occasionally for an artist.

To the President of the United State>: I received your communication of the 7th instant this day.
