ENLIoTING.
Written for TIE Fayetteville Observer.

Mr.. EDlToR::4I have ffequent-I
ly heard men, calling themselves
Union men, in conversation on the
streets and elsewhere, charge JIM
substance, that Union men most
ly have enlisted in our army, and
that while they, the Union.men,l
were, sacrificing the, Z comforts Of
home and friends, and i,nperilling
even lie itself for cur colntry's
cause, thousands ofCSeeessonists,
who clamoredf for the rights of the
South and thereby brought this
war upon the country, were ~
ing at home ct their case, attend
ing to their ordinary occupations,
Specializing, &c, and, to use their
own language, ''making a good
thing Of t"--and cannot beinduced
TO enlist. And further, these I'm
ion men, as they call themselves,
in their war speeches, sometimes
appeal to their secession friends to
induce them to enlist in this way,
saying that in this county thee
Union men to. one Secession 1T
have enlisted, and that they, the
tSecessionists, having brought this
war upon the country ought ito
go and fight its battles, &C., and
even dare them to count noses.
Now, | say that I have heard
substantially these charges and
appeals made, ard state them thus
publicly for the purpose Of en-
.tering my solemn protest, and tie
protest as | believe, Of q large pre-
portion Of the rejecting men Of all
parties in the country, against
them. / think this is all wrong;
/ the charges they make are untrue
in fact, and they ought to quit
making them. y .g
Now what are the facts? They
say that the Breckenridge party in
the South were Seeessionists and
are responsible for the warAthen
if this be true the Secessionists
numbered last fail PAP votes; and
the Union men only $40, making
together 1854. Now, how many
of this number have enlisted?
About one-kaif, say 1700 men
they claim three-tourths of this
number, which is 1875, to be Tn
ion men. New l ask how can
they get 1915 volunteers out of
SO Union men, much less when it
is very certain that not one-half
even of these $40 Union loving
men have enlisted. Count now
and see if you have 1915 moses on
those ,405 Union men,, Is ii. not
a shame for men to make such
groundless charges, such pitiful
appeals in the face of the .factssg-
men too who now claim to be good
Southern men, and pronounce our
cause just. SECESSION.

LiEcolnism in a Kentucky Pulpit

The Rev. II. A. NJ. Henderson,
of Alabama, who has passed some
time in Kentucky, writes letter
to the N. O. Christian Adrocate,
from which we make the following
extract:
To give you the anina,s of the
Northern Methodist church in
Kentucky, allow me to tell your
readers about one Rev. Mr.. Black,
stationed in Newport, opposite
Cincinnati. On one Sabbath he
had bis church ornamented with
u. S. flags and brass eagles; his
hymns were the "Star Spangled
Banner "The Red, White and
Blue and sIIail Columbia" He
prayed that the Union may be pre-
served, seven though blood may
come out of the wine press even
unto the horses brides, by the
space Of a thousand and six hundred
furlongs." In the course of his
sermon he said, II trust that our
troops will rally and wipe out the
disgrace of Manassas, though it
cost the life of every rebel under
arms. Let Davis and Beauregard
be captured to meet the fate of
Hannah. Hang them upon Mason
and DiXon's Line that traitors of
both sections may be warned
Let them hang until the vultures
shall eat their rotten flesh from
their bones; let them hang until
the crows shall build their filthy
nests in their skeletons: let them
hang until the rope rots, and then
let their dismembered bones fall
so deep into the earth that God AZ
mighty can't find them in the day.

A Significant Admiisdios.

The New York Herald makes
tie following irrepressible admis-
zion in regard to the poverty of the
recruiting business; but lays the
account at the doors of the Abo-
litionists. It says:
It's painful to perceive to what
extent, in the villages and interior,
) towns of New York, New Eng
land and the west, the recruiting Off
GERS OF the Federal army have be4
come forsaken in consequence of
the intrigues and Vaccinations of
secession sympathisers and abcli-
ton mal-contents. In large cities
like this metropolis, Boston, and
Philadelphia, their efforts are neu-
traized, but in portions of the
North where the poison can be
sown with less observation, an
j, incalculable amount of harm is be-
ing done, to which it behooves the
Government to pay immediate at
tention. The leaders OF the politi-
cal intrigue, carried on in the
name of the old Democratic party,
do not hesitate to avow their IN
tention of SO acting that they may
be able to lay claim to Southern
gratitude, whenever the war is
ended. The newspaper associa-
ties of the Tribune, on the contra
ry, hope to turn the hostihties that
have commenced into war OF

broad ground of niggerworship.

The Sick on the Potomac.

A correspondent of the Union
and American, writing from Fair.
fax c. 81, Va, says:
Our sick list has been increased,
resulting from the incompetency
of young surgeons who, not hav-
ing practice at home, forced them
selves upon the army through IN
Auential relatives. But the whole
Medical Board of this division of
the army has been disbanded and
will be re-organized. 1t is the re-
greet of our principal surgeons that

/. 1t will be perceived that the
statement of Mr.. Mcdonald shows
the amount deposited with him
$3.50 greater, than the amount of
the subscription list. This excess
might have been cash which was
received by me, and not entered
ON the subscription list; or it
might have been my own money
which became mixed with the sub
scription fund in making change
when the collections were made.
| am unable to account for it in
any other way. ~ m

If any one paid me money for the
Camargo Guards, whose name
does not appear in the list, or
which is not accounted for in the
$3.50 excess deposited with Mr.. !
Mcdonald, it will be an easy mat
