TO COnscripts.

Hon. VIM. Whiting, solicitor of the war
department, has declared that drafted man
has the right to be examined and see if he is
fit for military duty, and if he is, then to fur
nish his substitute, or pay the $500 exemp-
ton. This is contrary to the decision of the
Secretary of War and the Provost Marshal
General, but it is evident to every candid and
fair-minded man that this Was the real inten-
ton Of the law.
The law expressly makes the payment of
the $500 exemption equivalent to furnishing
a substituted is declared to be paid to the
government in order that the government
may itself procure the substitute. Caleb
Cushing has published a letter arguing that
such is the letter and spiri: Of the law, and
that the men who pays the exemption fee. is
relieved for three years from further draft,
precisely as if he had furnished the substi-
tute himself instead of accepting the offer of
the government to procure one for him.
This is common sense and common Justice.
Another recent decision is that conscript
may get as "a substitute some person who has
been enrolled but not drawn, and yet both be
free from the effects of another draft for the
term for which the substitute is sworn in.
Another point has been decided by the
Provost Marshal, and that is, that no substi-
tutes will be received unless they are between
the ages of 20 and 40, u,der any crcum-
stances.
1t has been decided by the Board of En-
rollment in Massachusetts that when con-
script present substitute and that substit-
ute does not pass the required medical ex-
animation, the party offering the substitute is
not then compelled to serve but he may offer
another, but this offering a substitute cuts off
the alternative of paving the communication Of
$500.

A National Thanksgiving for
Victory.
Proclamation by the President.

1t has pleased Almighty God to hearken
to the supplications and prayers of an atfiict-
ed people, and to vouchsafe to the army and
navy OF the United States, on land and on
the sea, victories so signal and so effective as
to furnish reasonable grounds for augmented
confidence that the Union of these states will
be maintained, the constitution preserved and
Their peace and prosperity permanently pre-
served.
Blu: these victories have been accorded not
without sacrifice of life, limb and liberty in
Cured by brave, patriotic and loyal citizens.
Domestic atiiiction i'll every part Of the coun-
try follows in the train of these fearful be-
reavements. 1t is meet and right to recognize
and confess the presence of the Almighty
Father, and the power of his hand equally
in these triumphS and these sorrows.
Now. therefore be it know, that DO sent
apart Thursday, the sixth day of August next,
to be observed as day for national thanks
giving, praise and PRAYER, and | invite the
people Of the United States TO assemble on
that occasion in their customary places Of
worship, and in the forms approved by their
own conscience, render the homage due to
the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things
he has done in the nations behalf, and invoke
the influence of His Holy Spirit to suhdue
the anger which has produced and so long
sustained a needless and cruel rchsllion to
change the hearts of the insurgents, to guide
the counsels of The government with wisdom
adequate to So great a National emergency,
and to visit with tender care aud consolal ion
throughout The length and breadth of our
land all those who through the vicissitudes
of marches. voyages, battles and Sicses, have
been brought to suffer in mind, bod, or estate
and family, to lead the whole nation through
paths of repentance and submission to the
Divine Will back to the perfect enjoyment OF
Union and fraternal peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal OF the United States
10 be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, the 10Th
day Of July, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three. and
of the independence Of the United States of
America the eigh,y-eighth.

nearly all destroyed by our shells, Gen Oster-
hause was killed. The Charleston papers
express a wholesome fear of Gen Gillmore's
power with artillery and recall the fact that
he knocked Fort Pulaski to pieces like a pack
of cards. The Richmond Enquirer urges
that the only safety for the south is for the
people to rise en- masse under the President s
proclamation.
Caleb NJ. Dyer, the we'll known Enfield

that Wier had placed in the care of the shak-
