PROCLAMATION.

THE DRAFT TO TAKE PLACE POSITIVELY DEC. 30rH.
To the People Of the State of Michigan.
1t is essential to the maintenance of the honor
of the State by meeting its obligations to the Fed
eral Government that the quota of the troops re-
qured of Michigan under the call for 600 900 men,
should be speedily furnished. have felt great
to draft but it will be impossible at the rate
listments have been making for the last month and
more. The number required of each town and
ward in the State has been assigned the prin-
ciple of giving credit for all recruits furnished
since the 1st of July last Substantial justice in
this respect has been done toward all. To be ex-
act was impossible, and to 60 back of the first Of
July was impracticable, both because the order OF
the Secretary of War did not authorize it; and be-
cause there was no reliable record by which such
record could be made up with any chance of fair
ness.
1t is therefore, indispensable that the several
towns, and wards of cities, should furnish the
Der of recruits assigned to them, and take this
casion to assure the people that unless the
furnished by voluntary enlistment they will be
taken by the draft.
For the purpose of still giving abundant oppor-
tunity to fill the quota of the State by voluntary
enlistment recruiting win be continued as follows
1st. Recruits will be received for new regiments
now forming in the State, and for all the old regi
ments now in the field. until, and including,
the 29th day of December next. These must be
enlisted for the term of three years during the
war.
I'd. From the 1st to the 10th days of December
next, volunteer recruits will be received for old reg
iments only to serce for mine months, in pursuance
of the Act of Congress.
Sd. On the 3Oth of December next, the draft will
commence, and proceed until the requisite number
is obtained in all those towns and wards which
shall then be found delinquent.
Less than four Thousand men are now required
to fill the entire quota of the State, and earnestly
hope that they will be found to come forward cheer
fully and enlist for the sCar as all our troops thus
far have done. And 1 desire this not so much be
cause there is anything discreditable in draft, as
because it is exceedingly desirable that all the
troops from Michigan should stand on the same
footing in the army. Let the people of Michigan
make one more loyal and vigorous effort and the
entire number required can be obtained and tho
high reputation of the State for patriotism ant
promp.ness will be maintained

CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA. Va,
November 25th, 1862.
FRIEND CAMPBELL: I'm the great
struggle which is now going on for the
maintainance and perpetuity of our
National Government, and the preserv-
alton of it's laws and enactments intact
and inviolate, there are doubtless many
interesting details which do not come
to the knowledge of the public, and
which too, even after the impartial
historian has faithfully chronicled the
events of the fitful past, are still left
entombed in oblivious darkness.
Therefore, lest such might be the case
in this instances, I propose to give you
brief, yet concise synopsis, of a.Jayiny
visit paid to Mount Vernon, under the
following circumstances:
1t was on last Sabbath morning
just two day, ago-that James M.
Spencer, Esq. of Dowagiac-(you are
"slightually" acquainted with him, l

Milney, Surgeon in U. S. A., arrived
in our Camp. Both were looking ex-
ceedingly well, especially our worthy
friend "Jim," who seems to have grown
still more hale and hearty since he has
donned the habiliments of a public func.
tionary at w Washington. Avisit was pro.
posed to Mt Vernon, which, of course,
were readily agreed to. Capt. Heazli,

WINE q!


From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth. 1t is rendered proverbial in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued as a
luxury, but there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary. In Europe there are upwards of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine obtained from as many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
hghtful wine from medical plants and roots The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called Dr. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From q
formula of roots, plants etc., of the highest medi
cal order, is here produced pure wine, equal, il
not SUPERIOR in flavor to any imported at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of disagreeable TASTE and none can take il
without being convinced of its great value 6
medical agent. From our own experience we car
vouch for the excellence of this wine; and we trus
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read DR.. Halsey's advertisement
which will be found in our columns to-day, ant
avail themselves of the remedy.

THE RESPONSE,

THE RESPONSE,
have put the children to bed, Harry
Rose and Willie and Maud;
They have sung their hymns together,
And whispered their prayer to God.
Then Rose said, gently smiling,
"Come Willie and Maud now say
God bless the dear, sweet father, ~
Father so far away"
And such glad trust arose, Harry,
In this sad heart of mine,
For felt that God would keep you
Safe in his hand divine
And kissed their pure, young foreheads
And said, Z" He is over all
He counteth the hair of your heads, darlings,
And noteth the sparrows fall.''
Then sung them TO their sleep, Harry;
With hymns all trust and love,
And knew that God was listening
From his gracious throne above.
And since that calm, sweet evening,
have felt so happy, dear,
And so have the children, Harry,
Theysseem to know no fear.
They talk of your coming home, Harry;
As something sure to be;
l list 10 their childish pratings,
Nor care to check their glee.
{ For oh, tits a cause so noble,
And you so brave and true,
And God protects His own, Harry,
And surely win watch DER you.
So keep up a brave good heart, Harry!
God willing-and He knows best
Wen welcome you, safe and happy,
Back to the dear home nest,
And Maud and Rose and Willie
Shall yet with moistened eye,
Give thanks to the dear, good Father,
While you stand fearful by.

The Soldiers Dream Of Home.
By CAROLINE A. MASON.

You have put the children to bed, Alice
Maud and Willie and Rose;
They have lisped their sweet Our Father"
And sunk to their nights repose.
Did they think of me, dear Alices
Did they think of me, and say,
"God bless him, and God bless him,
Dear father far away?''
Oh, my very heart grows sick, Alice,
Ilong so to behold
Rose with her pure, white forehead,
And Maud with her curls of gold;
And Willie, so gay and sprightly,
So merry and full of glee;
Oh, my heart yearns to enfold ye,
My 60 smiling group of three!"
/ can bear the noisy day, Alice;
The camp life, gay and wild,
Shuts from my yearning bosom
The thoughts of wife and child.
But when the night is round me,
And under its strong beams
/ gather my cloak about me,
/ dream such long, sad dreams
think of the pale young wife, Alice,
3 Who looked up in my face g
When the drum beat at evening
And called me to my.place.
l think of three sweet birdlings
"a. Left in the dear home
And my soul is sick with longings
That will not be at rest
Oh, when will the war be over, Alice!
Oh, when shall behold
Rose with her pure, white forehead,
And Maud with her curls of gold;
And Will, so gay and sprightly,
So merry and full of glee,
And more than all, the dear wife
Who bore my babes to me?
God guard and keep you all, Alice,
God guard and keep me too;
For if only one were missing,
What would the other do?
Oh, when will the war be over,
And when shall behold
Those whom love so dearly,
Safe in the dear home-fold.
