The military fever still keeps at white heat-tis
war, the draft and volunteering. forming the STAPLE
of conversation. Last week we stated that a num-
Der had left for tho Fourth Delaware Regiment On
Monday Sergeant Draper left with fifteen recruits
for the First Delaware at Suffolk, Va. Capt, Yard
ley and Corpo raj Barney are still here procuring
enlistmentr. About twenty have been procured in
this town, and this number will doubtless be consid-
erably increased in the coming week or two. The
three persons above named have enlisted thirty
persons already and with those procured by other
officers in New Castle co. they want to, and expect
to get, 200, swelling the ranks of the regiment to
1850.
The cavalry service seems to be popular among
the farmers boys, and the ranks Of the Battalion
being rapidly filled by fine class of young men.
Fifteen twenty have already been recruited in
this locality BY Lieut. Ayars, and Major knight and
Capt. Lord at Dover with the aid of the subordinate
officers in different parts of the State enlistng
men rapidly and expect by another week to have the
Battalion, 400 in number, completed.
Seven of the band fthe First Delaware Regiment,
who went from this town, having been discharged
from the service, under the operation of the law
passed by the last session of Congress- have returned
TO their homes. Some of them talk of reensting.

Gov. Burton.

We had hoped, yea, expected, better
things from Gov. Burton than we are now
receiving. We had hoped he would lay
party aside while his country is being tossed
on the turbulent waves by fearful tempest,
occasioned by conflicting partizans. We
certainly had right to demand of him, as
our Chief Executive, that our affairs be con-
Quoted to the interest of our State, and in
accordance with our prefessed loyalty to the
Federal Government. In all these things,
it seems, we fave calculated wrongly. Some
months ago, when he sent repentant let
ter to the War Department about the
course he had pursued and announced him
self Union man, and later, when he Joined
with the Governors of the loyal States in an
offer of 800, 900 volunteers to suppress the
rebellion, we supposed he meant to be hon
est to the State, and loyal in his support of
the Government. Nor are we altogether
satisfied that he was not Gov. Burton is
getting to be an old man, and too feeble in
every way to grapple and dash off the quasi
traitors and schemeing politicians that sur
round him, and who, if he does not look
out little more sharply, will mesh him
before he is aware of it in the web of trea-
son. Unfortunately, his advisers are most
ly men who have been in secret and open

men, but the same old secesh) and who, nc
doubt, have influenced his recent appoint.

THE PRESIDENT DEFINES HIS POSITION.

THE PRESIDENT DEFINES HIS POSITION.
Horace Greeley, last week, in the columns
of the Tribune, addressed a prayer to Presi-
dent Lincoln, in the name of I" twenty mil
lions of people" This was blod assump-
ton to claim to represent the views of so
vast constituency.
Mr.. Greeley plant was that the President
did not enforce the laws Of Congress-did
not carry on the war efTectively-did not
proclaim enough, and do enough, Of and
about the negro. The latter was the re-
frain of the whole "prsyer of twenty mil
lions"-in buckram.1c g' "a. .o,45
With characteristic modesty and good
breeding, Mr.. Lincoln did not question the
sublime suficiency Of his correspondent, but
answered MIR. Greeley in a letter as briei
and pithy as the epistle of the latter wa:
long and difdse. Many persons may ques
ton the propriety Of q Presidents condo
scending to make formal reply to anews
paper article, but. doubtless Mr.. Lincoln il
prosecuted with appeals like that of Mr.
Greeley, and he thought the occasion q Fl
one for answering them all in mass. an,
exactly defining bis position on the question
of slavery. The Ietteris what may, in for
chile though inelegant language. be calle'
a !" crusher," and should satisfy the. radica
Abolitionists and secession sympathizer
that the object of the Administration ID q
save the Union, and thatin the shortest pos
sible way, After administering rebuke
while, at the same time, waving any sue
intention, the President replies as follows;

one in doubt 3Afsss re -hAa. ss'.fs s1sis.

TIE DRAFT.-The excitement on the sub
ject of drafting still continues. The sym
pathizers of the rebellion speak of it in a
most doleful tone, with a few exceptions,
and they are emphatic against being put
into service. Some think it a very great
hardship for them to be taken from their
family and business when it is revolving to
their feelings. A great naany come far short
of practcing the doctrine which they preach.
1t has been but very little more than one
year since this sympathetic feeling was a
stranger to those who now advocate it
We will not deny that it is sacrifce-the
greatest sacrifice that a man can make for
his country, when he does it cheerfully, to
leave the tenderest ties on earth and the
various comforts with which he may be sur
rounded, to depend upon the charities of a
cold world, but nevertheless if it needs be
done let it be done with a determination to
rescue all sections of our land from the hands
of traitors, for unless we have government
to suit the masses it viii be despotic and
tyrannlcal. But why is it that rebels al
heart have not, before this, thought of re-
voting measures? That ought to have beer
borne in mind when South Carolina first
took it upon herself to lord it over all the
other slave States, and to dictate course
of policy for the free ones; It ought to have
been thought of when the Star Of the YES
was fired into because she made the attempt
to convey provisions to a few furnishing sol
diers in United States fort, which they
had sworn to protect; it ought to have beer
thought of when Virginia was carried out
at the point of the dagger and bayonet, anG
it ought to have been still more thought o
when Union men were arrested and in som,
instances severely scourged by bands of ruff
fans for expressing their loyalty 70 the oil
flag.
The drafting in ths loyal States is nothing to com
pare 70 the conse Pt act in the seeedod States whic
compels every man that is physically able TO bea
arms to 20 into service. Neither docs it place ou

commandant of the militia, and Myers Con-
well, of Dover, recommended for Provost
Marshal. We understand, also, that in
New Castle county DIR. Cardeza has been
appointed examining physician, and Geo.
Il. Riddle commandant of MALTA. In Sus-
sex, DIR. w. w. Wolf, of Milton, was COM
mission examining physician, but declined.
Maj. John Sordon has been commissioned
commandant in the place of. Nathaniel ia
cobs, declined. Wesley Smith has been
appointed Commissioner, and John c. Haz-
zard, of Milton, recommended for Provost
Marshal. The Georgetown Messenger says !:
"The Governor has had much difficulty

der this order for the draft Nearly all seem
disposed to shun the responsibility and fear
the odium which may follow their acts"

EvERYsoDY's BUsISEss.-In enrolling the Militia,
it is the duty of the enrolling officer to ascertain the
number of volunteers who have joined the army
since the commencement of the war, and the reg-
ments they have enlisted in; also, whether prior to
July last and since the last CALL Every should
make it his business to assist the officers to obtain
the name of every volunteer that has enlisted from
our county, in as much the counties are to re-
ceve credit for the volunteers they have furnished
which shall be deducted from their quota when the
draft is made. 1t should be considered the duty Of
eUery man to assist the enrolling officer in this
respect, and to ascertain, before the return of his
Hundred is made to the Commissioners, that the
of euery volunteer who has joined the army
from that district, since the first call made for
troops, is the enrolling officers list See that
this be carefully attended to, and let no man cave
it for his neghbor to do.

TIE Illinois Journal, remarking that men
in that State, VIGOROUSLY known to be
" Knights of the Golden Circle" are sud-
denly willing to take oath that they do not
bolong to that Order, explains the fact by
stating that the members of the Order have
changed their name to that Of g Consolida-
ted Democracy" The men who met in
Independence Square on Saturday last, the
Philadelphia papers say, belong to the same
party organization, and the above explana-
ton may indicate also why the Knights
