WAsuINGToN, Oct. 29.-ln the recent an
nouncement of the quotas to the several states
under president Llncolns proclamation of
October 18th, calling out an additional three
hundred thousand men. the deficiency OF the
states under former calls and under the re-
cent draft are taken account of only in refer
ence to a subsequent draft in case another is
rendered necessary by the failure to furnish
the full quota of volunteers. 1t is presumed
that there will be no draft in those states
which ra Sc their quota OF three hundred thou
sand volunteers called for by the presidents
proclamation but in states where, through
failure to raise their quota of the three hum
dred thousand volunteers, the draft has to be
resorted to, all deficiencies at the time exist
ing in such states " ill be taken into account
Drafted men and substitutes are entitled to
the one hundred dollars bounty provided by
law, and not to the increased bounty OF three
hundred dollars offered TO volunteer recruits.

president OF the American Mills at Rockville,
was instantly killed at the depot in this city,
this evening. He had arrived on the train
from Boston on his way home, and was pass
ing from the baggage to the smoking car, just
before the train passed into the depot, when
he fell between the cars. One arm was taken
of and his head badly crushed. Mr.. Barrows
was well known in New York and Boston as a
business man. His loss to Rockville will be
very great.

The July DRAFT.-The provost marshal
general has published an interesting statement
oil the results of the draft last July. Of those
GRATED over eighty per cent reported for ex-
Amihation' OF those who reported, about
thirty per cent were exempted on account of
physical disability; about thirty per cent were
found to be improperly enrolled. Oftbe man
examined, about forty per cent were hold 70

son, furnished substitutes, or paid commu,a-
ton. OF those held to service, about one
half paid Communication; two thirds of the re-
mainder furnished substitutes. and the rest
went in person, and are now with their regi-

The FIvE-TwENTY CoUPoNs.-The rule
for computing fractional coupons from an ex-
change paper, given in the Spy of yesterday,
may mislead in some cases. The interest is
not to be reckoned from the date OF ''pur-
chase" unless the bonds are procured directly
from the treasury department, because this
may not coincide with the date of the first
coupon. This last is the true period to reck-
on from. The following decimal shows the
interest for one day, according to the govern
ment rule, on a one hundred dollar bond, viz
,0l630+342. Multiply this fraction by the
number of days from the date of the coupon
to the first day of November or May follow
ing, and this product by the number Of hun
dreds in the total amount Of the bonds, and
you have the value of the coupon. The in
terest, being payable in gold, may be sold at
the market value. Example Bonds amount
ing to S7500-cOupons bear date August 20.
There remain eleven days in August, thirty
days in September thirty-one days in Octo-
Der, and one day in November-in all seven
ty-three days. ,0l6304342, multiplied by sew
enty-three, gives 1.l9O2l6966. Multiply this
by seventy five, the number ofhundreds in the
face of the bonds, and we have the whole val
ne ofthe first coupons, namely, $S9.26.
Where the amount of the bonds is under
ten thousand dollars it is sufficiently accurate
to use four decimals. Keep this decimal by
you, remembering that it is the value of
coupon on one hundred dollar bon for the
half-year terminating November /. For the
half-year, however, ending May l, it is differ
ent, because the number of days Is not the
same, being in this case one hundred and
eighty one; the decimal is consequently

Hostility of British Islands

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The U. S. armed
vessels George Manghan and Ethan Allen,
engaged in cruising among the British ISL
ands, have been summarily ordered from
some OF the ports of Prince Edwards Island
a private letter from an officer OF the former
vessel states that when at, Charetown an or
der came from the government requiring both
vessels to put to sea-a proclamation III the
name of the queen having been issued max
ing the demand, which was promptly complied
with. United States treasury notes are at Il
heavy discount at The various ports OF those
islands. Ship supplies and stores can only be
obtained by the payment Of coin.

zen. MEADE's SIrUATIoN.-Gen. Meade's
headquarters are still at Warrenton. The
only late accounts OF his movements are that
within day or two he has made some changes
IN the position of his forces looking to the bet
ter protection of those engaged in reconstruct
ing the Orange and Alexandria railroad De-
serters repeat the improbable story of the des-
titution OF Lees army, which, if true, would
show that his troops were on the verge of
starvation. The fighting below Warrenton
during the last week has not been important
The accounts have been exaggerated, and our
losses small. Of the prospect of fall cam
p2ign we take the following from
Correspondence of the Boston Traveller
The latest papers received from Richmond,
speak as if the fall campaign was ended. and
the retreat OF Lee across the Rappabannock
may mean this. But Gen. Meade will hardly
consent TO call it quits, and go into winter
quarters TINS early. If cold weather comes
in early, little can be done. but if we are TO
have an open pleasant November, and perhaps
December, there are six or eight weeks of
good fighting weather left. The November
and December of two years ago will not soon
be forgotten. Gen. Mcclellan did nothing
during eight weeks of splendid weather in
those two mOnths-and was severely blamed
for it. five should have such weather this
fall, and Meade shall accomplish nothing,
shall in fact keep his headquarters where they
are to-day-at Warrenton, he will not escape
without censure.

Extraordinary Sale of Government

agent reports the sale of $5,7l2OO0-the
largest sale yet made in any day. One Bos-
ton house took over 100000 worth At
this rate the amount remaining unsold will be
consumed in six weeks or less. The ten days

only referred to the withdrawal of the loan by
the secretary while the amount authorized
was unsold. SO little remains that it will

thousand dollars, while the amount of COM
mutation money received from drafted men
exceeds twelve million dollars. The advan-
tagcs that could reasonably be expected from
the law, are, in the opinion Of the provost
marshal general, already accruing, and he
has no doubt that with suitable notifications
the military strength of the country may, I'M
der its operation, be surely and cheaply
brought into the field.

FITCHBURG. The Reveille says that, not

All the various manufactures are running 10
their utmost capacity, and find it difficult to
fill their numerous orders. Messrs. Whit
man and Miles of West Fitchburg have been
adding largely to their works during the sum-
mer. They are engaged exclusively in the
manufacture of moving machine knives, rum
ming their establishment day and night. Sey-
eral fine dwelling houses have been erected,
and a large paper mill is being built on the
line of the Fitchburg and Worcester railroad.

The rest of the year will be well spent in
answering this allotment without another ap-
peal to the draft. The burden does not seem
to fall heavily on any portion of the state, and
there is no district in which, with earnest and
resolute effort, tn. required enlistment may nor
be obtained But it will not do to assume that
the public necessity will be satisfied by indiffer-
ence and delay, nor that the call is made from
mere freak of arbitrary power. Though
very much Of the danger and hard work of
the war is probably over, there is still obvi-
ously more to be done than the government
with its present fnrce--a great part of which
will be discharged during the coming year
can successfully contend with. 1t is NOT to
be expected that the states will again respond
to the government with the genuine and cleo
trio enthusiasm Of the first few months of the
war. But the reasons for answering the call
OF the government are quite as strong, and
ought to have equal force upon the minds of
practical and earnest men. We have no
doubt that those to whom the care and work
OF recruiting is entrusted will enforce these
reasons with all the inducements which can
be presented within the limits of their author
lty; and their fellow citizens will sustain and
encourage them in any measures that are ade-
quate to the much desired result.
