Enrolling Blacks.

The Attorney General of Massachusetts,
concludes letter on the enrolment of
colored citizens as follows:
The authorities of Massachusetts have
no more right to diminish its quota of
troops by refusing to enroll black men
than they would have to reduce the age
at which the obligation of military ser.
vice terminates from forty-fve to forty
years. The only possible question now
open is, whether colored men are citi-
zens OF Massachusetts,, which no one, I
presume, will have the hardihood to de-
ny, inasmuch as they are taxpayers, vot-
ers, jurors, and eligible to office; and
there is no inequality founded upon dis.
tinction of races known to our laws.

Another Chance.

By Gard, which appears in another
place, it will be seen that our friend, |.
6. Barksdale, of Athens. is engaged in
recruiting a company of volunteers for
immediate service. Mr.. Barksdele is a
brave and gallant gentleman and cannot
be long in filling his company to its full
est quota. He also publishes list of ap.
pointments, at which he will address the
people on the subject, and we. bespeak
for him large and attentive crowds Now
is the time to strike. There is no hum
bug about it. Volunteering will end in a
few days, and Consumption begin; and
those who would avoid the last must be
in hurry to embrace the first. Your
Country calls-Honor and Duty point
the way-Victory, Glory, and Indepen.
dence are Mt the end!

It is probable there will be decline in
the prices of blockade goods. The
drawing back of the Yankees in Tennes-
see and Kentucky will throw large
amount of this description of goods on
the market, which will, no doubt, cause
a decline in the present prices.
