Excerpts from "The Draft Yesterday," New York Times, Aug. 25, 1863

The drafting in the Fourth District passed off quietly yesterday, there being not an approach even to
any demonstration of dissatisfaction. Inspector DILKS had charge of the Police, and a body of military
was posted in the building. Provost-Marshal ERHARDT had made excellent arrangements, and with
his assistants hurried the drawings rapidly along. Mr. B. LEVISON, and blind man -- a Prussian who
has been blind five years -- drew the names from the wheel. The first name drawn was that of
PATRICK MAGUIRE, Pier No. 1, North River. The following is the result. The Fourth Ward has been
completed. The Fifth will be commenced this morning at 9 o'clock........

[The article lists the names of the draftees by ward. The original article provides the lists for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and
5. The following excerpt is the complete list for the Fourth Ward only. It includes the names of 402 men. Because
of the poor quality of the microfilm reproduction, not all the names were legible. -- ed. 10/13/2005]
