The CoNscRlpr LAVA good many per-
sons are under the belief that the consumption
law relieves from the service all persons over
thirty-fve years, who have re-enlisted for the
war; In this they are mistaken. All who
have enlisted for the war, whether old or new
volunteers, will have to serve, it matters not
what their ages may be. But the consumption
law does not touch those over thirty.fve or
under eighteen, who are not now in service.
This, as we learn, is the decision of the Secrc-
tary of War, and the manifest intention of the |
law ITSELF Caroliniam.
