THE NEW DRAFT.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S PROCLAMATION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.

Whereas, by the act approved July 4, 1864, entitled,

. _
"An Act further to regulate and provide for enrolling and
calling out of the national forces and for other purposes,"

it is provided that the President of the United States may
at his discretion at any time hereafter call for any number
of men as volunteers, for the respective terms of one, two,
or three years, for military service, and that in case the
quota, or any part thereof, of any town, township, ward of
a city, precinct, or elective district, or of a county and not
subdivided, shall not be filled within the space of fifty days
after such call, then the President shall immediately ordc
a draft for one year, to fill such quota or any part thereof
which may be unfilled ; and,
Whereas, by the credits allowed in accordance with the
act of Congress on the call for 500,000 men, made July 18,
1864, the number of men to be obtained under that call was
reduced to 280,000 men, and _ _

Whereas, the operations of the enemy in certain States
have rendered it impracticable to procure from them their
full quota of troops under the said call, and
Whereas, from the foregoing causes but 250,000 men
have been put into the army, navy, and marine corps under
the said call of July 18, 1864, leaving a deficiency on that
call of 260,000 men;

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States of America, in order to supply the aforesaid
deficiency, and to provide for the casualties in the military
and naval service of the United States, do issue this my
call for 300,000 volunteers, to serve for one, two, or three

years.
The quotas of the States, districts and sub-districts under
this call will be assigned by the War Department through
the, bureau of the Provost-Marshal-General of the United
States, and in case the quota or any part thereof, of any
town, township, ward of a city, precinct, or election ward,
or of a county not so subdivided, shall not be filled before
the 15th day of February, 1865, then a draft shall be made
to fill such quota or any part thereof, on said 15th day of
February, 1865.
In testimony whereof I have hitherto set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Dono at the city of Washington this 19th day of Decem-
ber, 1864, and of the independence of the United States of
America the 89th.

(L.S.)

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

By the President :
W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.

A SINGULAR STORY.—A report comes from New
York that the Mexican Emperor Maximilian has issued a
proclamation, forthally uniting Yucatan and Honduras to
his dominions. This includes the British settlements in
Honduras, and we cannot believe that Maximilian has been
mad enough to take such a liberty with the old lion. The
whole story sounds apocryphal. Max, one would think,
had more territory than he is able to manage so early_ in
hie American career.—Toronto Globe.
