Drafted Mihaa.-A detachment of
Militia from this Gen lrish'sj Brigade
are now doing military duty at Jordsn's
battery in this town. Tho il must be
very announcement for farmers 10 leave
home at this season of the year, the
readiness which the requisition has been
complied with, is highly creditsble to
both officers & men. | he specified term
of service is sixty days, but IL is 10 be
hoped the state of things will permit a
discharge before the expiration OF that
time, OF at least, that i: will not be he
cessary TO make a second one.
Many OF those upon whom the lot has
fallen, this time, have been under the
necessity of hiring substitutes at consid
cradle expense, whilst those who are
unable to hire, must perform the service
In person, however great the sacrifice.
But il the war continues, this is only
the>beginning of sorrow, mere drop of
the bucket--another year, and its evils
and burdens will be- increased hundred
fold.
BY the last accounts from England,
it appears Ad. Warren was authorised
to blockade the whole coast oil the u.
States, provided his naval force was adj
equate. This will (unless peace takes
place. unqueslionably be our situation
next summer-in that case, it will be
necessary TO line the coast with Militia,
to repel invasion. If our seaport towns
have thus far escaped conilag ra,ion, it is
not owing to the protection afforded by
those who have plunged US into this
abominable war. What is still worse,
there is no evidence that the general
government will sdop. any measures for
our better security in future. Those
who were possessed with The infatualion
to declare war when the country was in
a total defenceless state and destitute of
military preparation, eanno, be suppos-
ed to be very selections about It's defence,
nor can ii be expected that our situation
will be bettered, SO long as the authors
of the war remain in power. Taxes,
poverty, and militia drafts are only
part OF the legitimate offspring Of the
present administration an administra.
ton composed of men who when they
were eleclioneering for the places they
now fill, told the people they were borne
down and oppressed with federal bur
dens; that if ever they wished for
good times" perpetual peace" and
" prosperity" exemption from tax
galherers and standing armies, it was
only 10 turn out the fedei alists and put
them, their exclusive friends, lsueh as
Widgery, Carr and Varnum) in power,
and then every one should sit under his
own vine and iig-tsee, and there should
be none TO modest nor make afraid. -
The people took these pseudo patriots
at their word, gave them the reins of
government, and the country is reapng
the blessed fruits of their promises.
