If I can have notice a week at least in advance of making public the order for drafting, General Pope suggests that steps can be taken to prevent riot in the dangerous localities. The original, of which the inclosed letter is a copy, from the provost-marshal of the First District was referred yesterday to General Pope. IN indorsing that letter I was under the impression that it was proposed to remove the office to Racine. In that I find I was mistaken. Probably that impression was made from the conversation with Captain Tillapaugh and Judge Barnes on the subject.

I am, colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

CHAS. S. LOVELL,

Lieutenant-Colonel Eighteenth Infantry, Acting Assistant Provost- Marshal-General for Wisconsin.

We are in possession of evidence that satisfied us, beyond the possibility of doubt, that there are organizations now in this city with planed matured, and that at a given signal the mob will break forth in all its fury. We could and, if the Department desires it, will give facts and reasons for all we state. We have to-day been called upon by other parties occupying apartments in this block, soliciting used to remove the provost-marshal's office from this block to avoid the destruction of their property.
