The New SuLrAS-According to the laws
Of the Ottoman Empire, the Sultan has for
successor the Oldest prince Of his family,
either in direct or collateral line. 1t is in
virtue of that principle that his brother
Abdul Aziz, has assembled the throne. Con-
formally to the custom of the country, the
Sultan, who died at nine o'clock in the
morning of the 25th, was buried the same
day, before sunset, at the Mosque of Achmet,
where the mortal remains of his father, the
Sultan Mahmoud, rest. Immediately after
the decease. the brother Of the late Sultan
was informed by the chief of the palace that
the reigning monarch had just expired, and
that the grand officers were about to come
and present him with the insignia Of power.
The ceremony of investiture took place at
halfpast nine, and Abdul Aziz was proclaim
ed Emperor Of the Ottomans. At noon the
new Sultan received the Grand Vizier, the
Ministers. and all the superior functionaries
of the Porte. The official reception of the
members of the Diplomatic body was to take
place at one on the following day The
present Sultan is a man of middle height
energetic countenance. and in no way ener
waited by the life Of the Seraglio. He has
received good education, and speaks both
French and English correctly. No one vel
knows what his line Of policy nay be. but
some words which he used to his Ministers
appeared to indicate that his wish for The
country was order and economy.

An Affecting Incident of the
War.

An incident was related to me last night
which affords striking but sad illustration
of the effects ofcvil war. A lady has resi-
ded with an only daughter for many years
in Alexandria. About niEe months since a
mutual friend introduced 8 youns gentleman
Of Richmond to the family. The young
people soon became intimately acquainted,
and, quite naturally fell in love. The par
ents on boath sides consenting, the parties
were betrothed, and the marriage day was
fixed for the 4th of July instant. IN the
meantime, howeve, Virginians were called
upon to decide on which. side they would
stand The ladies declared themselves on
the side of the government, but the gentle
man Joined the forces of his State. No op.
portunity was afforded for the interchange
of sentiments between the young folks or
anything settled to their future movements.
Matters thus remained till the 4th of July,
when, exactly within an hour Of the time
originally fixed for the marriage, intelligence
was conveyed to the residence ofthe ladies
that the young man had been shot by SEN
try two days before, while attempting to
desert and join his bride. His betrothed did
not shed tear, but, standing erect, smiled,
and then remarking to her mother, 81 am
going to desert too" fell to the floor. while
the life blood bubbled from her lips, and
this morning her remains were conveyed to
their last resting place. Kash Cor. NJ y

Three Years Volunteers.

The compensation OF volunteers for the
war is not generally or correctly understood.
Those who serve only three months will be
paid eleven dollars month and board. We
are not aware that Government provides
them with uniforms, tentsor camp equipage.
They must look to the States to which they
belong for those things.
But it is different as regards the "t.iree
years" volunteers, as they are called They
will be provided with all that is furnished
to the soldiers and officers Of the regular
army. The condition OF enlistment is, "for
three years, unless sooner discharged" /"
which means until the end Of the war, ifthat
should be less tha.l three years. If the re-
bellion is over in one year, the three years
men viii then be permitted to return home
with honorable discharge. 1t is not at AL
likely that the volunteers will be needed
ianger than the first Of next May, which is
the time Gen Scott has set for the rebellion
to be put down. The regulars will be able
to finish up what remains of the mutiny
after the volunteers have swept through the
rebel country.
There will be paid to each Of the voiun-
tecrs who serve until the end of the war, a
bounty of Que hundred dollars in gold and
in addition thereto, Congress will doubtless
bestow land warrant of 16O acres The
regular pay Of Sll per month and board is
in addition to the bounty money.
The volunteers for the war will be allowed
$3.50 per month, or $50 per year, for cloth
ing, and fall outfit of camp equippage be-
sides. ,aas1g MS
The three months militia who refuse to
enlist for the war viii get no bounty or land
nothing but their pay Of $ll per month
and board .sa s.ss .e
Volunteers who are hesi.ating about en-
listing for three years, should bear three
things in mind lst. That the war will be
over, in all probability, and they viii gel
their discharge, within one year of their en-.
listment 2d. When their service Is ended,
