AZ important Order respecting the Residence
of and Credits for Enlisted Men.

The competition which has commenced among
the towns in this State in offering large boun-
ties for the purpose of obtaining recruits from
other towns where smaller bounties were being
offered, under the mistaken notion that the town
in which the recruit enlisted would get credit
for the volunteers, without reference to his real
residence, has called forth new order from Gen
Washburn. In this order he settles this ques-
ton as follows
The rule prescribed by the Governor of the
State in August 1862, was substantially as fol.
lows IF two or more towns claim the same
man, he is to be credited to that town, which
was stated by him, at the time OF enlistment to
be his place of residence. This rule was extern
sively published throughout the State, has been
ever since acted upon in credlting recruits was
again promulg gated in General Order No. |, da,
ted Oct. %, 1868, and is the only practicable rule
on the subject. This rule will govern in all ca
SEES, which may arise under the present call for
volunteers. No order can be issued which shall
restrict he enlistment of recruits, or their own
statement of their residence. The enlistment
contract is the record in such cases, and there
rs no authority tor receiving evidence to contra
dict it,
But the inequality of the bountIes offered by
several towns In the State has rendered necessa,
nv the exercise of the most perfect good faith by
the Se.ectmen of the different towns in prOcur.
ing enlistments. Otherwse the large towns
may fill their quotas, by means of large bounties,
and the smaller towos be inevitably subjected to
a draft. The enlistment contract ought always
to show the real residence OF the rec uit.
IL is therefore snJoined upon the Selectmen of
each town IN this State, that they refrain from
enlstlng, for the purpose OF filling their own
quotas, resident citizens of any other town in
State, unless the quota OF such other town shall
have been previously filled by enlistment.
Recruiting officers for new regiments, and Pro-
vost Marshals enlisting Tor old regiments, will
also exercise extreme care IN ascertalning and
stating the true residence Of recruits.
According to this order, volunteers whose res
ideuce is IN towns which have filled their quotas,
NAV be credited 10 the towns IN which they
actually enlisted. Otherwise nos. And we sup
pose this rule will hold good in respect to vol
unteers for the veteran regiments. The State
autboiities have decided that these veteran vol
uuteers are to be credited to their respective
towns on the Deficiency IN last Summers draft
and until that deficiency is filed, veteran who
may volunteer f. om such town, In the veteran
regiments, will be credited 60 the town IN which
his rel residence is, without reference to hi
place " enlistment.

We leave it for others to say what IS demanded
by this state of things. The rebel daily papers
in general terms acknowledge the truth OF all We
have affirmed. but usually close their abusive ed
itorials by declaring that even such treatment Is
better then the invading Yankees deserve. The
Examiner, in recent article, begrudged even
the food the prisoner did receive and the boxes
sent to US from home, and closed by eulogizng
the system OF semi-starvation and exposure as
well calculated to dispose of US. All this is true;
and yet cold weather has hardly commenced.
We are horifed when we picture the wholesale
misery and death that will come with the biting

In the Senate on Thursday, Jan. 29th, Mr.,
SALISBURY expressed bis sincere regret for what
had occurred in the Senate on the Tuesday
evening previous. The resolution for bic ex.
pulaion will probably be suffered to rest for the
present. ~
In the House on the same day, the negro aol-
der bill was taken up. Mr.. Cox, Of Ohio,
said the gist Of his objections was that the bill
placed the black soldier on perfect equality
With the white. Mr.. MAYsARD, Of Tennessee,
said that Congress had already provided that
the President might employ such persons of Al
ricsn descent as ho might deem needful under
this bill--not only black Brgadier, but black
Major, G GENERALS might be appolnteda Mr.. DUNN,
Of Indiana, said he was favorable to the policy
Of the bill, but wished to provide explicitly
that black men shouldn not command white men.
Mr. McPHrRsoN. Of Pennsylvania, said the aus
thor Of the bill would confne the efficiency 10
white men. Several voices demanded who was
the author Of the bill. Mr.. WIcKLITrE, Of Ken.

Well, the President issued proclamation q
month ago, declaring all the slaves In the ex.

the Army and Navy of the United States to
maintain them In their freedom. And yet We
hear Of no slave insurection on large or q

matters as bstore, except few runaways that
como within our lines, as was the case and to
about the same extent, before the proclama-
tion was issued.
