u paragraph that appeared in our pa
per Monday, taken from the Lewiston
journal, occasoned some uneasiness among
by to be able to inform those who are ac-
customed to listen to his able diseourses on

IL 1t will be seen by the report published
yesterday of the doings ofthe City Council Mon
day evening, that the necessary steps are being
taken to fill up the quotas of this city without
being under the necessity Of resortng to a
draft. We nave no doubt, with liberal induce
ments offered, the requisite number of men
can be obtained. 1t will be remembered that

pended TO obtain volunteers, if paid to our own
citizens, will find its way into the pockets from
which it is paid.
sVWe have thus far omitted to extend
as we do most cordally-the hand of fellow
ship to new member of the corps editorial in
this city-Capt. ENoCH KNIGHT. Capt. X.
was for some time editor of the Brdgton Re-
porter, and made Of it an exceedingly racy
and readable sheet. He left that post for the
army, in the command of Company in the
Maine 18th, but was obliged to resign on ac-
count of il-health. He is now connected edi-
torially with the Evening Courier, though we
understand that in the spring, having recover
ed his health, he proposes to rejoin the service.
Capt. X. is an excellent journalist and while
he remains connected with our evening con-
temporary its readable qualities will be guar
anteed.
