The Soldier’s Grave.
BY GEORGE w. BUNGAY.
“ Touch him tenderly,” gently raise
The fallen hero ; let his praise
Sound sweetly through all future days,
For he was brave and true.
Lean him against a manly breast,
Close to the heart that loves him best,
Like a tired traveller taking rest
Under the arch of blue.
Then hear him to the sylvan shade,
Where dew falls from the drooping blade.
Like tears from a sad-hearted maid
Whose grief no words unfold.
Where the soft wind in sorrow sighs,
Among wild flowers whose pleasant eyes,
Repeat the beauty of the skies,
Starlight and blue and gold.
Brush from his brow the Wind-tossed hair,
Mingled like cloud of sunshine there,
Kiss the cold check so pale and fair,
In silent sorrow weep.
Fold his white hands upon his breast,
And when the day fades in the West
Under the green turf let him rest, .
There let him sweetly sleep.
Dig his grave where the soft green sod
By traitor‘s feet has ne’er been trod.
Where sweet flowers are the smile of God,
For the patriot pure and true.
There let a graceful fadeless tree,
Emblem of hope and liberty,
Arise, his epitaph shall be
Sweet flowers, red, white and blue.
Bury him where the brook shall sing
His requiem, and returning spring
Shall come with bloom and rustling wing
To deck his grave for aye.
And Heaven shall watch with starry eyes.
That sleep not in the steeping skies,
The tomb to which an angel files
" To roll the stone away.

The First Day-Monday.
The draft pas recommenced this morning
.at the headquarters of the Ninth Congrese
sional district, corner of Third Avenue and
Forty-sixth-street. The wheel had been re.
volving about twenty minutes whéu the
building in which the oflcer was, was at-
tacked by a mob armed with clubs, stones,
brickbats and like missiles, but no firearms.
The building, a four story brick house, the
upper stories of which were occupied by
families, was defaced, the windows broken,
doors smashed and furniture destroyed.
The mob rushed into the enrolling oflce,
seized all the machinery and papers, records,
lists, &c., of the ofilcers, except those con-
tained in a large safe.
burned down. This done, the mob proceed-
ed tO destroy the police telegraph in Third
avenue, by cutting down the poles and carry-
ing ofi the wire.
One of the draft officers was set upon with
stones and clubs, and is so much injured
that he will probably loose his life. Several
other persons were injured, but not serious.
ly. The mob, which numbered three or
four hundred active and determined rioters,
next proceeded to other parts of the city,
expressing a determination to destroy every
building in which the draft or enrollment
oflces are situated. , ,
PARTICULAns or THE mar—m DRAFT RE-
comNcaD.
The drawing by Provost Marshal Jenkins
did not commence punctually at 9 o’clock
in the morning, as was intended. The Pro-
vost Marshal had received intimatiens that
riotous demonstrations were probable, and
he accordingly sent to Acting Assistant Pro-
vost Marshal General Nugent and the police
for a force which would be sufficient to sup-
press any disorder.
At 10 o'clock,'however, although orders
had been given to the military and to the
police of the different wards, no assistance
had arrived except ten or twelve policemen.
The Provost Marshal at that hour decided to
commence the drawing. The great wheel
was placed upon the table; the blindfolded
man took his position beside it; the man at
the wheel was ready to perform his duty,
and the Provost Marshal announced that the
draft in the Twenty-second Ward, which
was begun on Saturday, would then be con-
cluded. The wheel began to revolve amid
the somewhat excited-demonstrations of the
crcwd of spectators (numbering from one to
two hundred persons ;) and the draft pro-
cecded for about twenty minutes, when the
more formidable riot took place.
HOW THE nIOT BEGAN.
This morning some of the laborers em-
ployed by two or three Of the railroad com-
panies and in some of the foundries, assisted
by a gang of deepente men, went to differ-
éut establishments in the upper wards where
large numbers of Workmen are employed,
and compelled them, by threats in some in-
stances, to cease their work. The rioters
thus gained large accessions of strength, and
marched through the streets yelling and
threatening, and brandishing their clubs and
other weapons.
At tWent'y minutes past ten O'clock the
crowd marched down Third Avenue and
congregated opposite the enrolling ofilce.
Meanwhile, the draft was proceeding;
though, when the rioters had taken their po-
sition in front of the building the operations
of the officers were interrupted by the noise
and the loud threats of ruflans inside of the
building, who soon afterwards took their po-
sitions with the principal rioters in the
street. .
A must on sTONEs.
The first demonstration of violence was
made immediately thereafter. A volley of
stones crushed through the Open doors and
large windows of the enrolling ofice (which
had been constructed for a store on the first
floor of the building.) One or two persons
inside the office were hit by stones, and
other persons—among whom were the Pro-
vost Marshal, who has maintained his posi-
tion on the table where the wheel stood, and
the commissioner, Surgeon and other ofiicers
of the draft, including Deputy Provost Mar-
shal Vanderpoel and the reporters for the
newspapers—at once made their escape from
the room to other parts of the building and
to the rear. The Provost Marshal, who
would probably have been murdered, if
caught, was assisted over the wall of the
back yard.
THE DEMONSTRATION ON THE BUILDING.
When the room had been cleared the
rioters approached with their clubs and with
their hands full of stones and bricks, and be-
gan to destroy the windows which had es-
caped the previous volley.
When, however, some of the more excited
persons in the crowd had entered the office
and begun the work of demolishing the ma-
chinery of the draft and furniture in the
room, the building was occupied by. very
large numbers, who seized upon the lists,
records, blanks, and the great books in
which the names of the drafted men were
to be engrossed, bore them into the street
with loud demonstrations, tore them into
fragments, and scattered them over the
neighborhood.
Everything in the enrolling once was
utterly destroyed, except the large safe which
was understood to contain the record of the
men drafted on Saturday, and which the
mob could not open.
THE nunmnvc ON FIRE.
Shortly after this destruction, smoke issued
from the rear of the room, and a great about
was raised by the crowd when they saw that
the building was on fire.
They thenshook hands with each other
and gave variohs indications of unbounded
delight
The fire burned slowly, but when it
reached the second story the demonstrations
of the crowd were renewed with greater in-
tensity, and violence was freely threatened
against the enrolling officers and all persons
in any manner connected with the drafi.
It was understood that some of the enroll-
ing officers were in the upper part of the
building, and though several families of
women and children occupied that part,
stones and other missiles were thrown
through the windows.
THE POLICE AND THE mrranx.
The police force then ready for duty con.
sisted of only about twenty men, and nearly
all were drawn up in Forty-sixth-street, a
few rods from the burning building. They

tions of the mob, and would have been un-
‘able to act effectively, in any event, on ac-
count of their small numbers.
It is said that details of policemen have
been ordered from the difi‘erent’ wards of the
city, and that about two hundred were oi:
their way. 'At eleven o’clock a small fared
was marching up Third Avenue.
Mayor Oppyke, on receiving information
of the riot, communicated with General
Sanford, and preparations were at once
made to send a sufficient force to quell the
distur' bance.
THE ransom DIITBOYED.
Two or three men with axes attacked the
telegraph poles in Third strands, and at 11
o’clock two of them had been cut down and
the wires destroyed.
A’mnnn ATTEMPTED.
When the crowd attempted to enter the
upper part of the building, Deputy Provost
Marshal Edward S. Vanderpoel boldly
stepped to the front and, assuring the rioters
that they already had possession of all the
drafting paraphernalia, asked them to with-
draw or to do something to prevent the dos '
truction of the families in the upper part of
the building.
Suspecting from his uniform that he was
one of the drafting oficers, one of the rioters
seized him and struck him. Mr. Vanderpoel
merely shook off his assailant, and in a pa-
Cific'manner renewed his request, When the
act of the first rloter attracted the attention
of the remainder, and a number of them
surrounded him.
They struck him with their hands and
with stones, and, seeing that he could ,not
resist them, he withdrew to the place where
the police were posted. The rioters followed
him with great clubs, and men who were
desperate, beat him upon the body and head.
His head was so badly bruised that blood
flowed profusely, when he was thrown down
and kicked. '
He afterwards escaped by the aid of the
police and one or two of his fliends; but the
rioters followed him, striking him with
clubs.
He is so badly injured that there is but
little probability of his recovery.
It appears there must have been a concert-
ed plan of resistance to the conscription, as
all the workmen On the difi‘erent railroads
were combined together with those of cer-
tain factories, and marched to the building
on Third Avenue where the drafting for the
9th district had commenced at about half
past 10 o’clock. All the horse cars were
stopped and the drivers taken off by the
crowd. The police were overpowered and
beaten horribly.
A detachment of 75 Provost Guard ar-
rived at noon, and drew up in line between
44th and 45th streets, on Third Avenue, and
were quickly surrounded by the intensely
excited mob, who stoned and jeered them.
The soldiers fired blank cartridges into the
rufiiaus, when they were set upon and driven
off, and pursued about a mile. One of the
soldiers was caught and actually beaten to
death by both men and women fiends. An-
other Was nearly torn to pieces ahd thrown
over a precipice, and his body stoned until
half buried. ‘
Soon after a squad of police arrived, but
were driven ofi‘. One of their number was
torn to pieces and kicked to jelly.
All the stores in the vicinity were soon
closed by their owners, and the rioters had
everything their own way. The firemen
were not allowed to play on the fire.
The most horrible and beastly outrages
have been perpetrated. Some 12 or 13 of
the police have been so brutally treated that
their recovery is almost hopeless.
A person named Andrew, of Virginia,
who has .lately haranged meetings at the
Cooper Institute,seemed the leader of the mob
and addressed them near the ruins, while
the destruction of the buildings were going
on, denouncing the Provost Marshal, and
advised the people to organize and resist the
draft.
The howling devils after this harangue
then proceeded to the large beautiful dwell-
ing on the corner of Forty-seventh street
and Lexington Avenue, which was com-
pletely sacked of mirrors, sofas, chairs, beds,
etc., being thrown into the street. They
then set fire to the house. and amid hideous
yells, burned it down. :
L
Second DayeTuesday.
(From the Evening Post of Tuesday.)
. The disgraceful riots of yesterday were re-
sumed at an early hour this morning in the
upper part of the city. Bodies of the riot-
ers visited the large manufacturing establish-
ments in the same manner as yesterday;
Other gangs forbade the loading of vessels
at the docks under penalty pf total destruc-
tion of the ships. Pillage thus far has been
the order of the day; several houses have
been sacked; new coufiagrations are'occur-
ring; and the crowds, which were hourly
increasing up to noon; threatened more se-
rious Work during the remainder of the
day.
ANOTHER BIOT IN THIRD AVENUE.
The greatest crowd this morning assem-
bled at an early hour on Third avenue, be-
tween Thirtieth and Fortieth streets It is
estimated that the number of rioters in that
part of the city reached ten to fifteen thou-
sand persons.
At ten o’clock this morning a body of
three hundred and fifty policemen, nuder
Inspector Carpenter, were assailed with
bricks and paving stones while marching
through Second avenue. An order was then
giventocharge upon a row of tenement
housesbetwcen Thirtieth and Thirty-first sts
which were filled with rioter- "' - bad at»
tacked the police; .2... mid asbower of
bricks and stones the policemen 'entered
the buildings and ejected the mob. The
buildings were then set on fire, but the
flames were soon extinguished.
THE MILITARY-AT wonx.
In Thirty-fourth street, at about 9 o’clock,
three detachment of troops, consisting of
one company of United States marines from
the arsenal at the corner of Thirty-seventh
street and Seventh avenue; one company
of Fire Zouaves (New York State Volun-
teers, 11th regiment.) and a company of the
Twelfth Regulars from Fort Schuyler, to-
gether with a company of artillerymen, with
two pieceI of ordnance; from New Dorp,
Staten Island, arrived on the ground where
the rioters had assembled in great force.
Col. O’Brien had charge of all the troop
in the neighborhood, and promptly marched
Hummus through the crowd downto
Third avenue. Ordering the rioters to dis
perse, be repeatedly fired his revolver upon
them, wounding two of their number.
As the crowd continued to increase, two
howitzers which accompanied the artil-
lery corps were placed in position at the
corner ofThirtieth street, when three rounds
of blank cartridge were fired. The mob at
this was disorganized, and percipitately fled,
going through to Second avenue and the
adjoining thoroughfares and scattering.
The rioters, however, soon reassembled
issmaller crowds, and incensed at the at-
tack by the troops—inefilcent as it was—r
they threatened to resume their riotous pro-
ceedingsas soon as the military was re-
moved, and wherever they could prosecute
their work without interruption. Many of
them proceeded to their homes to obtain
firearms, with which they threatened loudly
to overpower the troops.
At about 10 12 o’clock this morning, as a
company of United States Infantry from
Fort Lafayette, Hamilton and Richmond,
mdcr command of Lieut. Wood, were
marching through Pitt street, they were as-
sailed with volleys of bricks and stones,
and at length, having been ordered to dis-
perse the rioters at all hazards, fired upon
the crowd, and several persons are said to
have been killed.
THE POLICE.
The police force, as far as possible, are
protecting the property threatened, but
their number is altogether insufficient for
the duty, inasmuch as the ' rioters are
gathering in all parts Of the city, and num-
ber in the aggregate malty thousands.
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION AOAINIT THE
TRIBUNE-SPEECH or Gov. summon.
At 12 o’clock this morning a large body
of men assembled with violent demonstra-
tions in front of the Tribune buildings, un-
mistakably indicating .an assault, to which
they were encouraged by a speaker who was
haranging them. Fortunately, however, a
company of infantry at that moment. ap
peared on the scene, and the rioters alarmed,
quickly dispersed, leaving the street almost
deserted. .
Shortly after, a crowd having concentrated
near the City Hall, Governor Seymour, who
was in the building, appeared on the steps
and briefly addressed the mob. The gist of
his address was that he had on Saturday last
sent his Adjutant-General to Washington
with a request that the Government would
suspend the draft; that he desired to pro-
tect the people, and he implored the crowd,
therefore, to respect the rights of persons
and of property. promising them that he
would see that everything should he made
~ satisfactory.
Governor Seymour did not command the
mob to disperse; he merely “implored”
them in dainty phrase to do him the kind-
ness not to continue these violent proceed-
ings, and at his side, while he was speaking,
stood the man who had been encouraging
the mob in an inflammatory address in front
of the Tribune buildings.
The Governor's remarks seemed to give
great satisfaction to the rioters. .
RAILROAD CAns STOPPED.
The Second, Third and Sixth avenue cars
are stopped in consequence of the disturbed
condition of the upper part of the city, and
of the refusal of the men employed on the
lines to perform their duty. These men are
compelled to stop work by the threats of the
rioters, who also express their determination
to burn the buildings Of the companies if
the cars are permitted to run.
The mail train on the Hudson River Rail-
road due at Chambers-street at half-past 10
o’clock this morning, was stopped at Fifty,
second street by the rioters, who overhauled
it to see if any soldiers were on board.
None havig been found the train was suf-
fered to proceed.
Subsequently a mob of two thousand per-
sons proceedcd to the Hudson River Rail-
road Depot, uptown, threatening to destroy
it. A body of infantry and a battery of ar-
tillery Were sent there.
PILLAGE.
The object of the mob now seems to be
indiscriminate pillage, and not, as yesterday,
for the purpose of resisting the draft.
POSTMASTER WAKEMAN’B RESIDENCE DES-
TROYED.
The residence of Abram \Vakeman, Post-
master of this city, in Eighty-sixth street,
(Yorkville,) was pillaged and destroyed last
night. Mr. Wakeman at the time was not
at home, his duties as a public Ofilcer trans-
cending, in his opinion, everything else.
The first purpose of the rioters was plunder.
They stole the furniture and carried it ofi' ;
took up the carpets, and cut ,them into
pieces of a yard in length, and divided them
among them; sacked his library, a collection
worth several thousand dollars, and removed
everything valuable about the premises
Then they finished by setting the house on
fire. It was totally consumed. Mr. Wake-
mau’s loss was about $15,000.
[From the Tribune.]
TH] mo'r IN sECOND AVENUE REBUMED.
About noon, between 300' and 500 of the
rioters entered the Union Steam Works at
the corner of Twenty-second street and
Second avenue, and commenced carrying
away the muskcts which had been secreted
there the day previous, the arms having
been taken from Mr. Opdyke‘s armory in
Second avenue before the building was fired
by the mob.
The rioters were here in large force.
During the morning all the factories and
shops in the neighborhood were visited, and
threats made to burn each establishment to
the ground unless it was closed. As a con-
sequence, every factory for a mile around
the Union Steam Works was shut up, and
the streets swarmed with infuriated men. It
appears that the rioters had taken possession
of the building (a large brick oueeseveral
stories in hight,) for the purpose of using the
place'as a fortification from which to resist
the police.
About 2 O’clock, a force of 200 police,
under command of Inspector Dilks, arrived
on the ground. Some of the rioters, becom-
ing alarmed at being thus caged, endeavored
to escape but were too late, for upon the mo-
ment Inspector Dilks gave the order to
charge. In a moment four of the rioters
were stretched upon the pavement. The
men, with all the pluck of veterans rushed
into the building upon the mob, and after a
desperate fight of a few moments, during
which some of the policemen and rioters
were more or less injured, succeeded in con-
quering the crowd, causing them to leap
from the windows and rush to every other
avenue of escape. .,
A large number Of Women at this moment
attacked the police cursing them in a fearful
manner and in some instances stoning them.
After clearing the building the police came
out each man with a musket, and charged
upon the mob Who skedaddled on a double
quick.
The police, after clearing the building, left
the ground, a small force only remaining.
Subsequently the mob greatly augmented,
reassembled around the budding, andfinally
stormed and took pomession. With the
arms which they had succeeded in stealing"
they defied any force to dislodge them. The
Eighteenth Precinct Police made an attempt
to re-take the building, but were repulsed by
superior numbers. Soon afterward icin-
forcements of police, under common d of
Capt. Helme, and a detachment of Regulars
under Capt. Franklin, arrived, and found
the building in possession of the rioters, who
crowded the Windows.
When the police force, among whom were
a number of citizens sworn as special police-
men, made their appearance, they were
greeted with a shower of brick-bats and
stones and shot. The charge lasted nearly
10 minutes, the rioters at every step getting
the worst of the fight. The building having
been again emptied and the mob scattered,
the police marched through the district, the
Regulars bringing up the rear.
The crowd in the meantime ralliedvand
followed the military for about a black,
when they greeted the soldiers withashOwe:
of stones. Quick as thought Capt. Franklin
gave the order “ ’hout face,” which brought
the soldiers-face to face with the crowd. ‘In
an instant thereafter the order “fire” was
given, and a volley was poured into the
mob. It is said, but with what truth, that
15 were killed and wounded. A chm-geis-
made with fixed bayonets, when the mob
broke and scattered like sheep. The force
then returned to their rendezvous with abbut
200 carbiues which they had captured. '
DIsTUIusANCE IN THE SEvENTI! AND T!!!-
TEENTH warms.
About 11 O’clock, Lieut. Wood, in com-
mand of a company of regulars, While
marching through Pitt street, was attacked
by the mob and treated to a shower of
stones. He brought his men to a halt and
fired upon the crowd, killing, it is said, to]:
or twelve, and wounding six or eight. .
The effective fire upon the mob hadasalu-
tary effect upon the insurgents in that part
of the city, and restored the streets to ‘ their
usual quietness.
ATTACK UPON COL. O’BRIEN.
Colonel O’Brien who had command of the
troops in the upper part of the city yester-
day, while charging upon a force of . the
rebels was wounded in the knee with a
stone, but still continued in the discharge of
his duty.
After the mob had been dispersed he was
returning to his residence on Second avenue,
between Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth eta,
for the purpose of removing his family to" a
place of safety, in consequence of threats
which he had heard made against them.
'Hc alighted from his carriage in Thirty-
fifth street, and had just entered his house
when the mob, who had apparently been
watching for him, made their appearance,
and pouncing upon him dragged him into
the yard Where they beat and kicked him in
the most brutal manner.
Several women who were among the
crowd also kicked the unfortunate man.
Yelling like so many devils, three or four
men seized the Colonel by his hair, and
dragged him into the street Where they again
kicked and beat him.
A man keeping a drug store on the corner.
with feelings of compassion, carried out a
glues Of water to give -the Colonel, where-
upon the mob turned about and completely
gutted his store.
After heating Col. O’Brien until he was
completely insensible, they again dragged '
him into the yard and threw him into a co:-
ner, where every now and then they visited
him and renewed their attack upon him.
Several persons witnessed this outrage
from their near Windows, and protected
against, when the mob cried out “ kill them
too, don’t let’s have any Witnesses.” Th0
‘ringleaders notified the neighbors that they
intended burning the block at night, dud
were going to burn the body of the Colonel.
Third Day—Wednesday.
The rioters have this morning notified
Harper Brothers, J obn A. Gray, printer, and
other establishments, to stop work immedi-
ately, threatening that if theydid not obey
the command their establishments will bu
destroyed.
MODS IN SEVENTH AvnNUE mun ON.
Mobs collected at an early hour this mo:-
ning in Seventh avenue. The , gres‘telt _
crowd was at Thirty-second street. It ap-
pears that some of the rioters had secured a
negro and the gathering was for the pur-
pose of hanging him. The mob after heat--
ing him in a savage manner, suspended
‘him to ,a tree, yvhere he remained for two
or three hours.
Meanwhile, intelligence reached the__au-
tnrities, when a detachment of the 7th Refit.
and other soldiers, with howitzers were sent
to the scene. A yelling crowd which ire-
gro, was charged upon by the soldiers, but
it was found necessary, in order to their du-
