&, The draft ordered for next Monday has
been postponed to the 18th inst About two
thousand more men are wanted to complete
the nine months quota of Massachusetts, of
which about one hundred and sixty are re-
quired of this city. By deducting the surplus
over the the former requisition, our number
may be reduced to about one hundred. The
management in regard to the Boston quota,
has contributed something to create this def
cheney in the state, the quota of that city hav-
ing been reduced to the lowest possible figure,
and filled to considerable extent by credit
ing to Boston the surplus of other places,
leaving the number of Boston men enlisted
smaller than it otherwise would have BEEN
The municipal authorities of Boston have
been active to secure enlistments in that city,
but the work has not been quite so easy there
as in some other localities.
If measures are taken successfully to raise
the required number of men by enlistment,
the draft will, of course, be made unnecessa-
~. The object Of the present postponement
is to allow an opportunity to recruit the new
cavalry regiment, the 18th, 18th, 14th and
18th batteries of light artillery, and the Sd
battery of heavy artillery, now at fort War
rem. These are all three years troops, and
the draft is suspended for ten days, that such
may be raised in preference to nine months
soldiers. 1t is hoped that, throughout the
state, and especially in the towns and cities
more Immediately interested, the proper eff
forts will be made to secure recruits for the
new cavalry regiment and the several batteries
named. The time can be allowed without
detriment to the service, because the demand
for the remainder of our quota is not so ur-
gent as the demand for more troops at the
time when the call was first issued.
1t is to be hoped that no draft will take place
until the existing laws and regulations con-
corning draft of the militia have been thor
oughly revised. The French system of con-
scription is much superior to that provided by
our laws; and experience, the never-failing
teacher, will undoubtedly give us something
better. This subject will engage the attention
of the present congress; and the necessary
notifications and improvements of our
present laws will most likely be made be-
fore there is another call for troops,
should another call become necessary. In
Connecticut and some other states, where
the quotas are much more deficient than
ours, the draft has been postponed indefi-
nitely; and an extra session of the Connecti-
cut legislature has been called to revise the
militia system of that state, where the attempt
to draft was not successful. They mean to
do better next time; but congress should act,
and either revise our present system, or give
us a new one that shall be at least as wise and
considerate as the best system of CONSUMPTION
in Europe.

The MUNICIPAL ELECT1oN.-Itw will be seen
by the following letter from Mr.. Hoar, that he
declines the nomination for mayor rendered
him by the republican municipal caucus,
Wednesday evening. We are sure that it
would have afforded the citizens of Worccs-
ter much qualification to have elected him to
the place for which he was designated, if it
had been possible for him to accept it,
WORCESTER Dee. 4, 1862.
To MesSrS. d. Il. Goddard and j. E.
Tucker, Esqrs., President and Secretary of
Republican caucus = Gentlemen,-I have re-
ceived your letter of last evening informing
me of the action of the republican meeting.
l highly appreciate the honor conferred upon
me by my fellow republicans whose wishes
you so cOurteOusly convey. The duties of
the office of mayor, at all times laborious and
important, will in my judgment require, dur
ing the coming year, the entire devotion of
the time, thoughts, and best energies of the
person on whom they may devolve. They
ought not to be sighted, postponed, or shirked.
| cannot SO devote myself to them, or per-
form them satisfactorily to myself or the pub
lie, without sacrificing other interests which
are entrusted to my care. l must therefore
decline the nomination.
| am with the highest respect, yours,
GEO. f. HoAR.
In accordance with call published in an
other column, the republicans OF the city are
requested to meet at Horticultural Hall this
(Friday) evening at seven and half O'clock

Mr.. Hoar. 1t has also been suggested that
the republican ward meetings to nominate
candidates for ward officers, should be held
at Horticultural Hall and the adjoining rooms,
this evening, Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the general meeting, which will prob
ably be atan early hour. With the acquies-
ence of the ward committees, the call for
these meetings is published, and will be found
in another part of this paper.

CITY AND COUNTY.

DEsERTER SHoT.-A company of about one
hundred deserters from various Massachusetts
regiments, who had been confined at fort In
dependence, passed through this city by the
steamboat train, last evening, to join their re-
spective regiments at the seat of war Just
after passing through the bridge in this city,
two or more of them deserted again, jumping
from the cars, and one of them, named Mi
chael Farrell, aged %, was fired at by one of
the guard, shot through the body, and fell
upon the track near the Nashua engine
house. The wounded man was taken to
the Soldiers Rest" and every medi.
cal aid was rendered, but he can not
long survive. He says he enlisted on the
18th day of July last in the 9th Massachusetts
regiment, and had been at fort Independence
eleven weeks for desertion from camp. He
states that John Moran, another soldier who
deserted from the cars with him, gave Mr..
Cook, one of the guard, five dollars 70 let
them go, but the other guard fred at them af.
ter they ran away.
The affair created considerable excitement
on the street during the evening, and it will
OF course be investigated, when all the facts in
the case will become more accurately known

A Submarine Antagonist for Iron
Clad Vessels.

Tue Philadelphia Ledger refers to strange
looking cigar-shapcd craft, which is lying
at one Of Che wharves of this city, and
says:
"This machine is a submarine boat, which
has been invented by Mr.. Yilleroi, and which
was experimental with in Delaware bay
some two or three years ago, with not alto
gether satisfactory results. The popularity
is in its shape, like Winans' cigar-formcd
steamer, and in its capabilty of remaining
under water for six or seven hours without
any communication with the air, the atmos-
phere necessary to breathing being supplied
by artificial means, probably compressed
air. Subsequently to the experiments in
Delaware bay, Government Commission
tested its capabilities. and reported SO favor
ably that the inventor received an order from
the Navy Department to finish the machine
for the Government use. The machine has
been nearly finished; but some difficulty be-
tween the contractor and the inventor pre-
vents the Government having the use of it.
Had it been received earlier, it was the in
tention to try it upon the Merrimac when
she came out Of Norfolk SO small a mat
ter as interfercs with its entire completion
ought not to be suffered to exist. The new
esstcm of naval warfare which iron-clad
vessels is introducing will warrant various
kinds of experiments being tried which have
the appearance of feasibility"
