s1OOl and offered themselves to the Mayor
os mart of the Salem quota but were refused
,vitb the remark that he did not care to pay
anv more bounty to Out-ot-town men, as II
the Salem men did not come forward before
the 18th he should draft. This same thing
was repeated to some men fromrOpsfield. The
military committee in Taunton have author
lied Joseph j. Cooper to raise new military
company in that town, on the conditions pre-
Scribed by the military authorities. Rev. AL
bert Case, at one time pastor OF the Univer-
salist Church and Society in bingham, has
volunteered his services to raise company
for the seat of war. This is a case worthy of
example. Referring to a typographical error
in an announcement of a recent meeting in
which Judge Russell of Boston was to partic-
ipate, he said, on rising TO make his speech,
that she had read in the papers that Mrs
Judge Russell was to preside at the meeting.
But he had left her at home in charge of
small body of infantry, and, unable to come
herself, she had sent a feeble detachment
from the main body"
The quota of South Reading, 81 in number,
has been filled, large proportion having en-
listed in the old regiments. The Richardson
Light Guard will probably volunteer, as part
of the 7th regiment, in making up the second
100000. In Newburyport, Wednesday, re-
cruiting was proceeding with great spirit, and
no less than 1913 enlisted, majority being
married men, There is now no doubt that
! the full number will be obtained. Not only
! has Hopkinton filed her quota of AZ men, but
! enough have volunteered to complete the quo
ia under the call for 100000 militia. This
will take about all the able bodied young men
| of the town. North Andover has obtained
| her full number-24. Abingdon has secured
| its quota-ll7 About 40 recruits from Will
| braham and Ludlow, under command Of Capt.
! Flagg, left for the camp at Pittsield Tuesday
| morning. The quotas of Longmeadow and
some Of the mountain towns will make up
full company. The following towns in Hamp
shire county have raised their quota of troops:
Belchertown, Chesterfield, Hadley, Easthamp-
ton, Hatfield, Huntington, Westhampton, Will
liamsburg, Worthington. Chesterfield sends
IA, which is 8 more than her quota.

| plains that the sons of wealthy men are pur-
chasing tickets for Europe, in order to avoid
draft. He believes, first that the poorer
classes will also leave-perhaps for Canada
if the others are allowed to depart without
hindrance; and, second that government
| ought to interfere and stop the fugacious indl-
viduals. Mrs. Sarah Spencer of Middletown,
| has procured two substitutes, one for herself
and one for her niece, paying each $50 extra
bounty.
The Providence journal of the 7th says -
| ga goodly number of colored men met yes
terday forenoon in Mr.. Browns room under
| the United States court room to consider the
question of enlisting in the service of the Uni
| ted States. There was an exchange Of feel
ings on the subject. The prevailing impress
sion of the meeting seemed to be that it was
no more than fair that a distinction should be
made between the cOlored men of the north
| who volunteer as soldiers and the contrabandS
of the south who are employed as laborers;
and that, if colored volunteers at the north
| should be accepted as citizens and soldiers, in
snort, as men, probably nearly all the cOlored
men in Rhode Island would volunteer who
could The meeting was troubled by a state
ment reported by a Tribune correspondent
to have been made by the president, that the
president would employ all colored men Of
fered as labOreIs, but would not promise to
make soldiers ofthem.' VIM. j. Brown, John
T. Waugh, and John \. Creighton, were ap-

the meeting was adjourned till this evening"
At the war meeting in Brockport N. Y,
eX-heutenant governor Church expostulated
with the young men for not coming forward,
and said, after pause in the proceedings,
''Why, | could raise more men from the la
