There are from 8,000 to 10,000 men on a strike in this city. The police have notified me that their entire force is engaged in maintaining order, and the mayor has request me to suspend the draft for a few days. I have taken the responsibility of doing so in the city district; it is going on in the country districts. The deficiency in this city is nearly 1,000. I send copy of mayor's communication by mail.

Dispatches from the Army of the Potomac have just reached here bringing dates to 5 o'clock p. m. of yesterday.
