THE DRAFT IN BROOME CO.

BINGHAMTON, July 25, 1863. MR. VISITOR:—Although at a somewhat late

hour in the day, I will tell you a few things about our draft, which, since the citizens of your county have not yet been through the "mill," may not prove uninteresting.

The Provost Marshal of this district, Hon. E. C. Kattell, makes his headquarters at Owego, the shire town of Tioga County, and there all the drafting is done. The district comprises four counties, viz.: Broome, Tioga, Tompkins and Schuyler, although the aggregate popula­tion is less than in your district, which includes only three counties, viz.: Chenango, Otsego and Delaware. The latter district having, at the last census, a population of 133,569, while the former had but 114,899, leaving our district in a minority of 18,670. The quotas in the differ­­nt districts, are, however, arranged so that the proportion to be drafted is equal throughout the state. The draft here, including the fifty per cent. additional names, took about two out of every seven persons enrolled in the first class, and, no doubt, the same figures will apply to your place.

The drawing of the lottery for Binghamton took place at Owego, Friday morning, 17th

inst., and at 12:30, p. m., we had the list of names, which also appeared in an "extra" at about four o'clock.

There had been some dark hints of resistance, mob violence, and the like, for which the loyal men had fully prepared by procuring a hundred muskets from Elmira, and securing all the avail­able ones in town, which were put into the hands of the three military companies then or­ganized. But the precautions were, as it prov­ed, unnecessary, for the most violent of those who were in for resistance before the draft, were quiet after it had been made, and leading Irish-men, who were determined to "fight at home" quieted down with the remark that "it was a fair dhraft, there was no chating about it."

Among those who were "gobbled up," with very few exceptions, the utmost good feeling prevailed, and even those who could illy afford to "pay or go" were ready to crack jokes at their own expense, hailing each other as "con­scripts," and having a good time generally.

Very few of the rank copperheads were ta-ken, but then, most of those who answer to that name, are too old for the first call. Young America is, as a rule, loyal to the Union.— Eight colored men were "gobbled up;" and of these the proportion was more than an average with the Irish, who seemed to slip by. Loyal men were taken, in a great majority, and some loyal firms were almost entirely taken. From I. N. Hine & Co's., dry goods store, three part-ners and one clerk were taken. Hirschman Brothers, and R. H. Hall's stores each contrib­uted three, and Preston & Sears, book store, sent four to join Uncle Sam's $300 army. Nei­ther of the newspaper offices, of which there are three, were disturbed, the printers, for once be-

ing in luck. Our ex-Assemblyman, George Bartlett, was invited to the Union Ball, and one Theodore T. Hunter received two invita­tions, one in Binghamton and one in Kirkwood, in both of which places he was enrolled. Two brothers, Lucius and Allen Negus drew success­ive numbers. They were both in Virginia building bridges when drafted, but are now here and say they will neither procure substi­tutes nor pay the commutation. Two others, H. H. and J. H. Doubleday, drew with only one number between them. Two persons named Michael Conners were taken, and so on. Rev. Silas McKinney, a returned Presbyterian mis­­ionary and Rev. W. P . Abbot, a Methodist teacher were the only clergymen taken in town.

Various companies were formed to mutually insure each other, and most of these worked satisfactorily. But I am making this letter too long. On the whole, this first conscription which this generation has enjoyed passed off in good order here.

Probably one half of the conscripts will pay or get substitutes, while of the other half a great number have volunteered and got their bounty, a privilege they enjoyed up to the time of their notification, which was commenced day before yesterday. The whole number drawn in town was 288. L.R.E.

BINGHAMTON STANDARD WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1863. The Draft. The draft for the County of Broome took place at Owego, the head-quarters of this military district, on Friday morning last. The quota for this town was 192, being one in five of the num-ber liable to draft, in the first class, but fifty per

cent was added to the quota to offset those who would probably be exempted by the examining surgeon. The whole number drafted, therefore,

was 228. A general and lively interest was shown as

the time drew near for the draft, and especially on the day it took place, but these was an almost universal good nature manifested. The public sentiment was, unmistakeably, that some sacri-

fices are demanded on the altar of patriotism when the country calls on her sons for support; and all or nearly all, cheerfully decided, in case they were called, to comply with the requirements of the law—either to go, procure a substitute, or pay the exemption fee. Insurance clubs were formed in many instances—that is six or more individuals joined together and paid fifty dollars each; and then those of the number drafted used the fund to pay the exemption fee.

We give on the 4th page a list of those who drew the prizes. In this town we notice some queer incidents. Four persons were taken from

Preston & Sears' store, namely, C. W. Sears, R. S. Darrow, his clerk, and Messrs. A. Lounsbury and J. M. Bostwick, Jewelers. Three were taken from I. N. Hine & Co.s store—I. N. Hine, C. B. Perry and R. R. Coates. The various newspaper of­fices escaped the draft; according to the ratio they were entitled to two conscripts, at least. The legal profession is represented by A. E. An­drews, E. K. Clark and Geo. Bartlett. Two brothers, H. H. and J.W. Doubleday, were drawn within one number of each other.

(Mr. Cary, of the Republican, for the courtesy of allowing us to use the type of the list of names, will accept our thanks.)

THE CONSCRIPTION.

The forces enrolled for the draft comprise all able-bodied male citizens and aliens who have declared their intention to become citi-zens, who are between the ages of twenty and forty-five. The exemptions are as fol-

lows: "Such as are rejected as physically or men-

tally unfit for the service; also, first, the V i c e President of the United States, the judges of the various courts of the United States, the heads of the various executive departments of the Government, and the Governors of the several States. Second, the only son l i a b l e to military duty of a widow dependent upon his labor for support. Third, the only son of aged or infirm parent or parents dependent upon his labor for support. Fourth, where there are two or more sons of aged or infirm parents subject to draft, the father, or, if he be dead, the mother may elect which son shall be exempt. Fifth, the only brother of child­ren not twelve years old, having neither father nor mother, dependent upon his labor for support. Sixth, the father of motherless children under twelve years of age depend­ent upon his labor for support. Seventh, where there are a father and sons in the family and household, and two of t h e m are in the military service of the United States as non-commissioned officers, music ians, or privates, the residue of such family a n d house­hold not exceeding two shall be exempt.— And no persons but such as are herein ex­empted shall be exempt: Provided, however, That no person who has been convicted of any felony shall be enrolled or permitted to serve in said forces."

The forces are subject to d r a f t for two years from the first day of July following t h e enrollment, and if drawn are liable to serve during the rebellion, not exceeding three years, having the same pay and bounty as the volunteers for three years . They are di-vided into two classes—the first comprising

all between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, and all unmarried persons between thir-ty-five and forty-five, and the second com-prising all others. The second class "shall not, in any district, be called into the service of the United States until those of the first class shall have been called." The classes are enrolled separately.

Persons drawn are t o be notified within ten days, and informed of the place or ren­dezvous, where they are to be inspected, and claims for exemption for disability are to be passed upon. The provision for commuta­tion is as follows:

§13. And be it fusther enacted, That any person drafted and notified to appear as afore­said, may, on or before the day fixed for his appearance, furnish an acceptable substitute to take his place in the draft, or he may pay to such person as the Secretary of War may authorize to receive it, such sum, not exceed­ing three hundred dollars, as the Secretary may determine, for the procuration of such substitute, which sum shall be fixed as a uni­form rate by a general order made at the time

of ordering a draft for any State or Territory; and thereupon such person so furnishing the substitute, or paying the money, shall be discharged from further liability under that draft.

The Secretary of War has fixed upon three hundred dollars as the rate of commutation, and has designated the Collector of Internal Revenue in each District to receive the money.

The following persons, drafted from the 14th and 15th sub-districts in this town, were exempt-ed for the causes named.

Richard H. Hall, phthisis. Oramel D. Abel, in service March 3d, 1863, in
