The work of recruiting in Massachusetts
grows promising as the week draws to a close.
Several towns have already furnished their
full quota, and have their men in camp.
Nearly all the towns have acted officially, and
made generous provisions for townsmen who
respond to the call During the coming week
the work ought to be closed up. The policy
of his excellency the governor in placing the
care of this enlistment almost wholly in the
hands of the cities and towns is right, and
should be responded to with alacrity and
pride. The instructions relative to the new
enlistments earnestly recommend municipal
authorities to encourage above all the enroll
ment of men for the ranks. The existing
corps are provided with officers, and vacan-
cies are properly filled by promotions within
the corps. The state has complement of of
ficcrs; the ranks are for the time the place
Of duty, and therefore the place of honor.
Camp Wool is designated as the general re-
ceiving camp for all volunteers from Worces-
ter and the four western counties, whatever
corps, either organizing or in the field they
may select to join. Whenever ten recruits, or,
if desirable, less number, are obtained in any
city or town, they are to be forwarded to
camp, reporting to Lieut.. Col Lincoln, if de-
signing to join the thirty fourth regiment, or
to the general recruiting officer to be ap-
pointed for the purpose, if destined for any
regiment in the field. Clothing, equipments,
and subsistence are provided Immediately on
being mustered into service. Nothing which
the state can do, nothing which municipal gen.
crosby can do or patriotism can reasonably ask,
has been left undone. The rest must depend
upon individual effort, and, if necessary, per-
sonal sacrifice. Precious weeks are passing
away when not an hour ought to be lost The
government and the army, in pursuance of the
policy they have chosen, have been compelled
to fall back upon their reserves Secretary
Seward, writing privately to a friend, says
with unusual emphasis :-''You must help Di-
ven and Van Valkenburg raise men. All is
well if we instantly show our strength" Mr..
Diven, writing to the same friend, and fresh
from the perusal, probably, of the foreign cor
1CopohuSnCc WHICH awakened MT. Seward
from his ''sixty days" illusion, says :-sDon't
say we must resort to drafting. We have not
the time to draft We must end this war soon
or fight the world" No doubt the government
has anticipated the possibility of such an al
tentative. Mr.. Seward does not stand alone
in resting his prediction that sail will be well"
upon the condition of instant relief The peo-
pie have done their duty thus far without
reservation. How many of their jewels sleep
in bloody graves to rise in history as Witness
es of the manner in which they have shown
their devotion! They will not begin now, I'M
der the impulse of temporary disappointment,
to interpose objections and conditions between
themselves and their obvious duty. The gov
eminent will be held to a strict and severe re-
sponsibility for its use of the resources which
are generously placed at its command.

The militia bill, passed and signed during
the closing hours of congress, is one of the
best of the session, 1t removes many diff
culties which have heretofore stood in the wav
of effective operation, and puts in the hands
OF the president a new weapon which he can
use with irresistible effect against the rebel
lion-if he will. 1t gives him authority to
call upon the militia for period not ex-
ceeding nine months-the militia embracing
all able-bodied men between eighteen and
forty-tive years, apportioned among the states
according to population. 1t authorizes him
to call one hundred thousand volunteers, as
infantry, into the field, in addition to the
number already authorized by law, every SOL
der who shall enlist under the law being en-
titled to all the benefits allowed to volunteers
for the war except in regard to boun-
ty, which is limited to S25 in adj
vance. 1t authorizes him to accept voun-
teers for twelve months to be on equal foot
ing with troops for the war, except in regard
to bounty which is limited to $50, one half in
advance. 1t authorizes him to receive into
service for the purpose of constructing en-
trenchments, performing camp service, or
any military or naval service for which they
may be found competent, persons of African
descent, and such persons shall be enrolled
and organized under such regulations not in
consistent with the constitution and the laws.
as the president may prescribe; and whenever
any man or boy of African descent, who bv
the laws of any state shall owe service or Ia
Dor to any person who, during the present re-
bellion, has levied war or borne arms against
the government, or adhered to their enemies
shall render any such service as enumerated
in the section preceding, he, his mother, wife,
and children, shall forever be free, any law
or custom to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Loyal masters whose slaves are liberated un-
der the operation of this act, are to be COM
pensated. Nothing would encourage the
country so much as for the president to t
the authority which has been given him to inn
mediate use. 1t would indicate an awakened
and resolute purpose to have the rebellion UNI
der his feet, and would command the grateful
support Of an anxious and patient people.

A PLEASANT TRIAL TRIP.-The new steam
tug l. w. Wellington left the steamboat dock
at ~ IL O'Clock Thursday morning for a trial
trip down the river. She took out a comDanv
OF about twenty gentlemen from Worcester.
and an equal number from this city, includ
ing the stockholders of the boat. and few
favored guests. The trip was conducted nm
der the auspices of Mr.. T. w. Wellington.
the well-known coal dealer of Worcester. and
the details were most admirably carried ont
by Messrs. p. st. NJ. Andrews, George Bent
ley, and Julius Webb. The run of the We'll
hngton was confined to sail down the river
as TAR as the sleepy harbor of New London, A
turn around the frigate Sabine, and return
to the deserted metropolis of Allyn's Point.
and eventually to the point of departure.
Inc run from Allyn's Point down and back
was accomplished in one hour and twenty
hve minutes, and from Allyn's Point to the
city the time consumed was a little short of
three quarters of an hour, showing that the
| Wellington is an institution of immense prom
| Use. She was not in the best sailing trim on
! Thursday.
On their return from New London the par
ty were induced to step ashore at AlIyn's
FONT, where splendid collation. was served
| up TO them After the more perishable COM
forts had been attended to, the Intellectual
entertainment was introduced by Geo. w.
Bentley, Esq, who, in neat speech, paid a
just compliment to the personal worth and
| patriotism of Mr.. T. w. Wellington-who
has two sons in the army; who supports at his
own expense a hospital building for sick and
wounded soldiers in Worcester, and who has
exhibited hberality during the present war
which has reflected the greatest honor upon
himself and upon his native city of Worces-
ter. Mr.. Wellington responded briefly and
| pertlnently. Short speeches were made by
Lieut.. Col Ward of the Massachusetts if
teenth, who lost leg at Balls Bluff, VIM. NJ.
Converse, Esq, Capt. Foster of Massachu-
sets, who was wounded at the battle of Roa-
noke Island, p st. NJ. Andrews, John w.
Stedman, N. c. Breckenridge, and quite a
number of others. The exercises were con-
Quoted with great pleasantly and infinite en-
thuslasm, and passed off to the immense sat
lstaction of all concerned. Altogether the
trial was pronounced great success.

PERsoNAL.-We have had the pleasure of a
call from our old friend, Col. Calvin L. Pratt,
of the 3lst New York regiment Col. Pratt
was formerly resident of Worcester, but af-
forwards moved to Brooklyn, N. Y, and at
the breaking out of the rebellion took com
Inand of the 3Ist New York regiment. He
was in the battle of Bull Run, where his regi-
ment gained credit for saving battery. In
the battle of West Point Col. Pratt's men dis
tinguished themselves for their excellent
fighting qualities, and in the engagement
on the 9th ult. gave the best pos
BILE evidence of their determined yalor
in the loss of one hundred and sixty-seven out
of four hundred men. 1t was here Colonel
Pratt was wounded rifle ball entering his
left cheek and lodging in the right, immedi
ately under the eye. The wound is healing
kindly, and except numbness in the right
cheek, and occasional twinges of pain, he suf-
fers but little. He will rejoin his regiment
for the members Of which he expresses a
strong regard, rough fellows as they are, as
soon as his wound is thoroughly healed. Col
Pratt deserves promotion for the gallantry he
has displayed and the ability he has exhibited.
The government would do well, better than it
does now, if it would carry out the policy an
nounced, and make promotion in every in
stance wait on merit.-NeW Bedford Mercury.

yesterday, swelling the number now there to
between four and five hundred. Among
these were twenty-three from Pittsfeld. the
nucleus of the Allen Guard twenty-three
from Millbury, to Capt II. W. Pratt's COM
pany, sixteen from Shirley, eleven from
North Adams, and smaller squads from Hol

Those from Pittsfield were recruited NV
Lieut.. Van Loan, who expects to bring in
twenty-five more on Monday next, and Geo.
Bowler, who recruited those from Westfeld

hundred more by the first of next week.
Other large additions are also expected daily.

PUBLISHING THE TRAIToRs.-The good
people in the vicinity of Southbridge have for
some time been annoyed by the conduct of
men of doubtful loyalty, whom no degree of
public contempt has yet seemed competent to
reach The editor of the Southbridge Jour
nal, having borne the annoyance with COM
mendable patience, in his last issue gives
warning as follows =
We are determined to countenance this
thing no longer. Last week we published the
name of well known traitor in Sturbridge.
The week before we published the name of
one in Union, Connecticut, who is as misera-
bic a citizen as he is house builder We
shall not stop here, and we wish it dis
tinctly understood that hereafter we shall
publish, without any reference to standing
in society-be he rich or p0or-the name
of any man who is heard uttering anv
reasonable sentiments whatever The entire
public shall know who are not for the Uuon.
If we cannot hang them by the neck, we will
hang up their characters, to be gazed upon by
all respectable and loyal citizens. Theirnames
are in print, they cannot be blotted out; but
they will stand on file to be read long after
the war shall have ended and peace is restored.
We feel it duty thus to do, and IRE shall per-
form the duty. To parley with traitors, is to
encourage their treason. This we cannot and
will not do, and we wish every traitor in
SOuthbridge to understand it.

Gen. Halleck has been called to Washing
ton, probably to assume high command in
connection with the army of the east. The
following dispatch announces his transfer
from his late command in the southwest =
CoRINTH, July 16.-Gen. Halleck has Just
issued special field order, saying that in
giving up the immediate command of the
troops composing the army of the southwest,
he desires to express his appreciation of the
endurance, behavior, and soldierly conduct
which they have exhibited on all occa-
sions. He expresses to the commanders
of the army corps and their subor(lin-
ates the warmest thanks for their cor
dial cooperation. He says the soldiers
have nobly done their duty, and accomplished
much towards crushing the wicked rebellion.
If they continue to exhibit the same vigilant
courage and perseverance, he believes they
will bring the war soon TO close.
The Corinth correspondent of the Tribune,
under date of July 10th, says =
This military community has been consid-
erably exercised since this morning by the I'M
expected arrival of Gov. VIM Sprague of
Rhode Island, accompanied by Mayor Miner
of his staff. knowing that no state interests,
such as looking to the condition of Rhode
Island troops, could have brought him to this
distant point his unexpected advent gave at
once rise to the surmise that he came here
upon some confidential mission in behalf of
the authorities in Washington. The fact that
he arrived on a special train from Columbus
in half the regular time, and that he repaired
at an early hour this morning to the head
quarters of Gen. Halleck, with whom he re-
manned in private consultation all morning,
made this superstition at least reasonable.
The Washington correspondent OF the Eve
ming Post adds:
There is a very positive rumOr on the streets
to-day that Gen. Haleck arrived here last
evening, or that he will arrive here tonight.
1t is reported in so many high quarters that
am inclined to believe it true 1t is also said
that Gen Haleck comes here to assume COM
mand of all the troops in Virginia, not as an
active commander in the field, but as the con-
sulting general of the president. The pres
ident acknowledges that it is now fully time
that one mind should direct all the loyal
forces in Virginia, and that the ''army of the
Potomac and the ''army of Virginia should
act in concert. To enable this to be done it
is asserted that Gen. Halleck will be put in
command, with the understanding that he will
remain in Washington. This will relieve the
president and Mr.. Stanton from attacks in
the future, on the ground that they have i'm
properly interfered with this or that general.
ThiS is qumor. But many facts give the ru-
NOR an aspect of truth, and the country need
not be surprised to learn that it is absolutely
true.
