New York's quota under the Next draft.

--A letter from New York, dated the 29th ultimo, says:

‘ The steamer that leaves for Newbern to-morrow takes out several agents from the neighboring counties duty authorized by Governor Seymour to recruit in North Carolina. One of these is Mr. William Turner, who goes as the agent of Queens county. The city and county of New York meanwhile folds its hands, looks on, and does nothing. Its Board of Supervisors and rich capitalists seem to be possessed of an idea that something will turn up to cause the draft to be deferred till after the 5th of September, and hence all present effort to raise the quota has about ceased.--The folly of this policy may be apparent when too late.
