"A BOY PATRIoT.


A mere boy Of about fifteen, from Darke
County, Ohio, being in Illinois, had enlist
ed in one Of the regiments raised IN the
southern part Of that State; but IS he was
in very delicate health, his father was ex-
tremely anxious to have him released from
ihe service, though The youthful soldier de-
sired 10 remain in It While at Forts Hem
- zeud 1esnelg5n, lAe boy was very IN, but
still insisted upon performing his duty.
His fathsf arrived at Donelson on Friday,
the 14th inst, intending, if possible, TO
take him homo. BE had sn interview with
some Of the officers, but could learn moth
ing Of his son. While looking for him in
diBirlOusIy among his companions, he
learned, 70 his surprise and horror, that
the poor boy, after fighting gallsHtly on
Thursday, had died from eKposure Wills
lying without FIRE or shelter, upon the fro
Esn ground on that bitter and desolate
night.

OF every one. lie is assisted by Mr.. James X.

ing officer, the names of all persons within their
respective beats, who have entered the service
since the late enrolment made by order of the

The number of conscripts from this District
Will probably not exceed sixty. Up to the
time we write, 81 names have been entered OH
the roll. Sixty have been exempted under
confederate law, including exemptions for d,sa
biity. Seventeen have claimed exemption un.
der state law, which is not recognized by con-

Mounted Men for State Servics.

Under the late call Of the Adjutant aud In.
spector General Of South Carolina for a Battal,
ion OF mounted men, ito be used in defence of
the Seacoast Of South Carolina, Fl ON the North
Carolina line to the Santee river, or elsewhere, "
Capt Amos McManus, Of this District, proposes
to raise Company, and requests us to Civ
public notice OF the fact. This call is address,
ed - what is termed the "First corps of Re.
serVes-men between the ages OF 35 aud 90
years. As this class has been relieved by the
ConscriPtion Act of Congress from the scverer
lAbors Of the Confederate service, it is suppos.
ed that there can be no hesitation or DELAY in
Milling the call for State defence. Capt. McMa.
nus, survivor of the laborious Mexican cam.
pAgn, has recently concluded a twelve months
service in Virginia as Captain Of the "Lancas-
ter Invincible." Still vigorous aud In the prime
OF manhood. he proposes to again take the field.
With suck record, VIC may safely assume that,
If the project Of raising a Company Of voIun.
teers in at all feasible, he will succeed.

Our Victories.

Although the details aud results Of the late
battles before Richmond are still somewhat un,
certain. there is no doubt Of the fact thst God,
In HIS Providence, has given our army great
victory. The enemy has been driven back with
immense loss, aid the question now is, whether
he can escape, or whether he may be enabled by
heavy reiniorcemen,s to partialy recover from
his present critical situation. But though We
rejoice in g. eat victory, We are compelled to
mourn the loss Of many valuable lives Many
heasthstones have been made desolate by this
bloody battle, and many more are still racked
with anxiety from uncertainty IN regard to the
fa % Of their friends We look for other details
with great interest

Effects Of the Conscript Law

We have been ned that number of
families in our District will in all probability
be reduced to suffering, in consequence of the
head upon which they were entirely dependent
Tor support, being taken away by tho Conscrip-
ton law Where man, without means, leaves
wife and five or six children-perhaps none
Of the latter large enough to work-the pros
pect for their future support is anything else
than fattering.
This is but one or the evil effects OF the con.
script ls~. We expressed doub, Of the pro
priety OF the law at the beginning Then it had
numerous advocates, but now there are com
parativcly few, who do not admit that Congress
acted unwisely in changing The mode of re.
cruting Tor our armies. 1t has done more to
chill the spirit OF patriotism thsn any thing else
that has occurred since ,he commencement of
the war. The prescribed class can see 10 rea.
sen why all the bu.dens of the service are
thrown upon them, aud another class equally
capable, is excused from service II the Law
had remained as it was, there could have been
no ground io' tie complaints OF inequality aud
discrimination whic.i now exist Aud those
who are not liable under the Act do not mani,
lest the same interest," in the cause that they
formerly did the Government having taken
the matter Of raising a,mies entirely to itself,
the individual feels less responsibility resting
upon him than when the plan Of volunteer
was III vogue. 1t has had ali Injurious effect in
many respects not, indeed to render the cause
any less dehr to the hearts OF the people in gem
eral, but TO impair that confidence in the wis.
dom aud justice Of the Government, which had
hitherto been felt. 1t is this devotion to the
cause which has induced n prompt and com.
mendab'e obedience to the provisions OF the
law, notwithstanding the people are fully con.
scious Of its glaring determinations.
Our Congressmen will never be ahls to make
the people understand the "imperous public
necessity" which they alledge as reason for
the enactment Of the conscript law. The States
respectively had responded promptly to every
call that had been made upon them. and would
have continued to respond. without resort
to dcspotic means, and without making unjust
determinations among their citizens.

FOR THE LANCASTER LEpGsR.I

t ~ written, that "Stonewall" jackson
smiles at the sight Of a wngon-that moth.
ing affords him so much pleasure as the
capture of this vehicle from the enemy.
Now this wonderfully succ essful military
nero must have reason for this love Of
wagons. II is written, that he has never
lost any military stores-and that he takes
great care OF his sick and wounded, and that
his soldiers are devotedly attached to him
Now wagons are useful TO convey military
stores which are necessary for fighting aid
for supplying his soldiers with food but,
moreover, they serve to convey the sick and
wounded. Now we mIy see why Jackson's
soldiers are devoted TO him, and why he
smiles at the sight Of n wagon-no,hlng is
better calculated to make the soldier love
his General than the facts that he supplies
his army with an ,Rbnndence Of food and
that he takes good caro- Of his sick and
wounded. Let Us then have plenty Of was .

Jesus to thy earthly keeping
One a Jewel kindly gave,
But thy joy is turned to weeping,
For you've lost it in the grave.
Mourning for thy vanquished treasure,
Will you hear the Saviour say
cease to sorrow. for MY pleasure
have borne thy gem away.
"Is thy spirit filed with anguish
Is thine eye with weeping dime
Cease, Oh mother thus to langush,
Cease, for had need of him.
Purer than the dews of morning,
Brighter than the stars Of night
See thy gem my crown adorning
In a world Of Heavenly light
''Let thv faith and love be stronger,
Though the tide Of grief O'er~helmd;
Thou must wait little longer,
Ere give thee back thy gem.
Where the flowers of Eden blossom,
Wnere no tears Of grief are known,

Thou shalt wear it near my throne.
Mother. then forbear thy weeping,
Lay thy weight of sorrow down,
Leave thy gem IN Jesus keeping
Send il to adorn his crown"
