A correspondent of the Boston
Journal writes from New York city
under date of Nov. "a:
"Gen. Banks is at work night and
day. He is known to be at work as
late as three o'clock in the morning,
and no one gets up SO early as to find
him asleep. He is up and at it before
the sun. But such incessant toll wears
upon him. He is already prematurely
gray, and bears the marks of exhaus-
ton. New York is not like Boston.
You can trust no one here as to the
matter of time, and when one has such
charge as Gen. Banks has, he not
only must give the order but he must
watch, tend. and see that the thing is
done. / saw the gentleman this morn
ing. He told me he was now ready.
His transports are here and his men,
and he will embark at once.
Gen. Banks had an interview with
Gen. Mcclellan that lasted some time,
on Saturday; on Sunday, with Mrs.
Banks, the General dined with McClel.
Ian.
One of the great hindrances to a
speedy starting of an expedition here is
the impression that it must take three
months to do the work all parties act
under this faith. The transports can't
be sent till the troops come on, and the
Governors can't send on the troops till
the transports come, and in regard to
all other matters the case is the same.
How not to do it, is the card of action
with US, and live General has quite a
task to stir up these lazy dogs.
1t is stated that an officer from Burn
sides army made visit to Gen. Nc
Clellan, and left at once for the seat of
war.

PROCLAMATION.

THE DRAFT TO TAKE PLACE POSITIVELY DEC. 3OTH.
To the People Of the State Of Michigan.
1t is essential to the maintenance of the honor
of the State by meeting its obligations to the Fed
eral Government that the quota of the troops re-
quired of Michigan under the call for 600, 900 men,
should be speedily furnished. have felt great
confidence that this might be done without resort
to draft but it will be impossible at the rate en-
listments have been making for the last month and
more. The number required of each town and
ward in the State has been assigned upon the prin-
ciple of giving credit for all recruits furnished
since the LIST of July last. Substantial justice in
this respect has been done toward all. To be ex.
act was impossible, and to go back of the first of
July was impracticabe, both because the order of
the Secretary of War did not authorize it, and be-
cause there was no reliable record by which such
record could be made up with any chance of fair
ness.
1t is therefore, indispensable that the several
towns and wards of cities, should furnish the num-
Der of recruits assigned to Them and take this oc-
cason to the people that unless the men are
furnished by voluntary enlistment they Will be
taken by the draft.
For the purpose of still giving abundant oppor-
tunity to fill the quota of the State by voluntary
enlistment, recruiting will be continued as follows
LIST. Recruits will be received for new regiments
now forming in the State and for all the old regi
ments now in the field, until, and including,
the 2sth day of December next. These must be
enlisted for the term of three years or during the
war.
Cd. From the 1st to the 10th days of December
next volunteer recruits will be received for old reg
iments only to for nine months, in pursuance
of the Act of Congress.
Sd. On the sOth of December next, the draft will
commence. and proceed until the requisite number
is obtained in all those towns aud wards which
shall then be found delinquent.
Less than four Thousand men are now required
to fill the entire quota of the State and earnestly
hope that they will be found to forward cheer
fully and enlist for the all our troops thus
far have done. And desire this not so much be-
cause there is anything dscreditable in draft, a.
because it is exceedingly desirable that all the
troops from Michigan should stand on the same
footing in the army. Let the people of Michigan
make one more loyal and vigorous effort and the
entire number required can be obtained and the
high reputation of the State for patriotism ani
promptness will be maintained.

our patrons continue IT. however, any are dssat-
listed with this arrangement, and wish to discon
tinue. their wishes will be complied with, upon the
settlement Of their arrearages To those who have

WIN e Z!

From the earliest ages wine has been know and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth. 1t is rendered proverbial in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued as a
luxury, bat there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form a valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary. In Europe there are upwards of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots. The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called DR.. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From
formula of roots plants etc., of the highest med-
cal order, is here produced pure wine, equal, if
not superior, in flavor to any imported, at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of dsagreeable taste, and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value as a
medical agent. From our own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine and trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read DIR. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.

Our SCHooL.-At the close of last
month October submitted to the patrons of our
School few thoughts concerning the Importance
of promptness and punctuality of attendance to-
gether with some items from my Report to the
School Board. Hoping that these facts were pro-
ductve of good, respectfully submit the fol-
lowing brief abstract of my Report for the month
ending Nov. 2sth 1852.
The whole number enrolled during the term is
346 the whole number of present members is
s1o,-the average attendance for the month is
a57 9. a gain over last month Of II whole num-
Der of absences for the month is 1953,-3s1 less
than there were last month THE number of alb
sences caused by sickness is ss4,-thirty-one less
than there were last month the number OF tar
illnesses is 13e, against "a for October, and the
per cent, of attendance is a. 46-1O0 against 70,
Ga 100 for last month.
1t will be observed that we have made gain in
all respects except tardiness Can we not have
some remedy for this am certain that did the
parents who have children in school fully realize
the VERY GREAT disadvantage tardiness is to the
whole school we should have no more of it worth
mentioning. Notwithstanding the gain made in
regularity, there is still very great number OF
absences not caused by sickness-nine hundred and
ffty-nine in a month with only three hundred and
ten scholars in attendance! Why not teach our
children correct business habits, by sending them
to school as regularly as we 60 to our work-noth-
ing but sickness preventing. Attending school is
their business and there is no good reason they
should not be faithful in it.
The number of foreign scholars in attendance
this term is forty-two. Let us commence our new
term with the New Year, determined TO let no OBJ
stacle prevent the accomplishment Of the greatest
possible results. J. A. BANFIELD.

SHARP SHooTERs.-James A. Lee,
Esq, of Pokagon, has been authorized by Gov
Blair to recruit company in this county for the
regiment of Sharp Shooters called for from Mich
igan by the Secretary of War. Thus another op-
portunity is offered to this county to fill its quota
without resort to the draft. Mr. Lee is an energet-
ic, active man, and will make capital officer. Re-
member that the draft will most assuredly take
place on the 3Oth of December. and if the quota
for this county is not furnished voluntarily, the
men will be taken by draft. The number to be
raised is about 200, if we are correctly informed,
and we believe this number can be raised volun-
tarily if every man will take hold of the matter
with q will.

The Movements for the Taking Of Rich
mOnd.

nond.
It is idle to speculate a. to the mill
tary plans now being carried out in
various sections Of the country. If
the rebels don't know more about these
plans than we or other loyal people do,
the Government is fortunate indeed.
There never has been time since the
war commenced when even the best
guessers were so completely in the
dark as to what is being done or about
to be done by our armies.
All eyes are directed towards Burn
sides movements, with intense anxiety.
1t has become evident that the general
expectation that his plan was to cross
the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg
and march directly south upon Rich
mond, is a mistaken view. We now
feel certain that this has not been
Burnside's intention. fit had been he
would have rushed his army across the
river at once on reaching Falmouth,
before the enemy could concentrate on
the other side, as they now have done,
for formidable resistance. Events will
demonstrate, we think, that the rebels
have been deceived by well planned
feint. So it looks TO us now, and we
are prepared to hear that a considera-
BILE portion of the army of the Poto-
mac has been transferred south east
wardly of Fredericksburg, perhaps
even of Richmond, and that the base
of operations and the line of march
have been so completely changed that
the rebels will be compelled to draw
their forces close to Richmond, instead
of protecting the lines of the Kappa
hammock and the Rapidan. In this
event, Sigel's and Heintzelman's arm
les could operate from northerly or
westerly direction against Richmond,
while Burnside and gunboat fleet
would approach from the opposite side.
The Rebel Capital would thus be be-
sieged from all sides-and we doubt
not that the intention to capture that
city by regular seige is the great aim
of our military authorities.
These views We throw out as mere
conjectures. We may be mistaken.
We make no pretensions to positive
knowledge as to the plan of eventful
campaign, but reason simply upon
what, in military Judgment, would
seem to be probable. In "a few days
very few days, We bclieve-the pub
lie will no longer be left to guess, but
will know, what is going OH.
In this connection, We may mention
that the Presidents visit to Burnside,
at Acq,ia Greek, has some significance
as these visits of the President to the
arm y always have. Putting together
the rep rted movement of troops down
the Potomac, the "quietude" of the sit
uation on the Rappahannock, the fact
that fleet is ready to sail from Fort
rcss Monroe, and the Prcsi-
dents personal trip to Acquia Creek,
and We may guess with safety that
somethingimportantis going on. In this
belief let US possess our souls in pa
tience and "await developments."-
