The New ENRoLLMENT.-The following
directions have been issued from the execu-
tive department of the commonwealth, rela-
tive to the militia enrolment preparatory to
draft
The assessors Of the several towns and
cities, in preparing the new enrolment are
instructed to include the names OF all citizens,
white or colored, who at the date of the order
VIZ, August 4, lS62-were between the
ages of Is and As years. No exemptions are
to be deducted from the enrolment except Of
such men as are plainly and visibly disabled
by some permanent defect from doing military
duty. Aliens are not to be enrolled until
they have taken out their final naturalization
papers. Enrolment blanks will be immedi-
ately furnished by the secretary of state.
They will state the name age, and occupation
of each man, whether now in service or not,
and any other remarks which may determine
his exemption from draft The enrolment
already made for the present year may be
used as the basis of that now required, by be-
ing corrected so as to conform to the present
requirement.
In any town OF city volunteer companies of
militia Tor nine months service may be en-
listed, and their number will be deducted
from the quota of that place in the draft
But only residents in any town or city will
be deducted from its quota. DRAFTED men
may furnish substitutes, but cannot be re-
leased upon paying fine under the Massa-
chusetts statute. Towns are strongly recon-
mended not to offer any bounties for nine
months men. As the law now stands the
families of drafted men are not entitled to
state aid, but it will be allowed to nine
months volunteers. All officers Of nine
months men, whether volunteers or drafted,
will be elected in the manner provided by the
statutes of Massachusetts. But the command
er-in-chief will refuse to commission any Off
Ger in his judgment incompetent.
The above order for the enrolment of col
Ored as well as white citizens, is based upon
the law of congress, approved July II, which
provides that ''the enrolment of the militia
shall, IN all cases, include all able bodied male
citizens between the ages of eighteen and
forty-ive years"

and child, his sister and brother, instantly
killing the horse, throwing the doctor and
family from the carriage, and breaking Mrs.
Seaverns' wrist and otherwise severely bruis-
ing her. The others were more or less in
jured, but none of them dangerously. The
sister of the doctor had her skirt cut off by
the car wheels. 1t is almost miraculous that
the whole family were not instantly killed
About half past two O'clock Wednesday

roe's wharf, on First street, East Cambridge,
owned by Mr.. Edmund Munroe, and occupied
by Daniels & Co., as mandatory of furni-
ture and refrigerators, and by Mr.. Crandall as

at New Bedford, after an absence of So
months, brought home 25 men, officers and

DUKES.
Mr.. Bartlett Stewart, of Edgartown, aged
about so years, was walking on the beach at
that place, on the 8th, when the thunder

MAINE.
Some months ago the British iron steamer
karnak was wrecked on a coral reef near the
Bahamas, and became a total loss. An east
ern paper says that after lying at the bottom
of the sea for some weeks, inhabited by fish
and turtles, two enterprising men from Bath,
Maine-Messrs. Kimball and Arnold-bought
the wreck for 1925, thinking they could ''iish
up that amount Of old iron from her. John
Bull pOcketed the 1925, and thought Jonathan
greener than the sea weed for making such
purchase. The purchasers explored her with
submarine armor, plugged up her holes,
pumped her out, raised her to the surface,
took her into Nassau, New Providence, the
nearest port, having rugged her with sails, as
barque, at an expense of $4,000 more, and
soon she will be in New York, when, after
putting in new boiler, (the rest of her ma
chinery being good,) she will be worth $751;
900 to 500, 900 at least.

IMroRTANT INTELLIGENCE REPORTED.
The Traveller states that letter has been
received in Boston from a naval officer at
tacted to the fiotilla of james river, in which
he states that great events there are unms-
takably at hand, and that within a few days
the loyal people of this country may expect to
receive intelligence of most important
and momentous character. A movement
is Immediately to take place, which, in the
opinion of the writer, has been so well ar
ranged that it can scarcely fail of success, and
which will, if carried out as designed, result
in a victory which will erase from the minds
of the people all the failures and defeats Of
the past" Other correspondents allude mys'
teriously to great events on the eve of trans
piring in that department.

CAss1Us NJ. CLAY made an address at la
dies fair in Washington, Tuesday evening,
relating chiefly to foreign opinions of Ameri-
can affairs England he pronounced bitter
and malignant enemy. France was not un-
friendly, and the emperor was well known to
take deep interest in our cause. OF Russia
he spoke with great admiration, and Of the
car as one of the best and wisest of reigning
monarchs. He closed with urging the most
vigorous war measures, and expressed himself
ready to serve the government wherever he
could be made available; but he would strike
only for liberty, and never draw his sword for
the protection of rebels slaves.

PIcNIc.-The want of a bell in the easterly
part of the city, both for religious and secular
purposes, has been for some time past ac-
knowledged. In case of fire that neighbour
hood would have to depend on their own ex-
ertions to great extent, as no ready means
of alarm are afforded them. The members of
st. Anne's congregation have taken the mat
ter in hand and intend to procure bell for
their church tower. They start fund for
that object tomorrow FRIDAY, Aug. 15th,)
with picnic party, which leaves the Foster

sic, boating, dancing, singing, &C., as an at
traction to cooperating friends.
