There must not be the least holding back
or want Of interest. or willingness TO work
all day, and all night too, when called on, OF
hesitation in obeying the order Of the officer
or cniel man under whom you are placed
Any man who is thus guilty shall be sent to
work IN the trenches and in the works in the
very front at Morris Island.
l am determined to make short work ol
such worthless and wicked men as will not
put forth every effort, aud show an interest
in the public cservice at this important time.
ANY man that will strike for higher wages
ia this emergency should be shot.

district. 1t says:
The enrolling officers had put down the
names Of all that they could see or hear OF,
including the lame, blind, deaf, and dead.
This swelled the enrolment list, and ot
course the quota to be drawn. Among the
names put in the wheel for this town we no
ticed that of Geo. X. Mason, who died in the
United States service nearly il year since, and
". A. Sheldon, who has not resided in this
town in four years.

The draft rendezvous in New Haven was
pretty nearly cleared out on the 18th by the
departure in the steamer Detroit of 24O men
for the army of the Potomac. Seventy-one
of them are for the I'd Rhode Island reg giment
and the rest for 14th Connecticut, which has
previously received go men from that post
The Philadelphia Ledger, of the 18th,
has the following:
In the several Congressional Districts in
Philadelphia where Boards of Enrolment are
engaged hearing claims to exemption, an av
crage Of % substitutes for each district is re
ceived daily. As soon as squad of POO is
collected together the men are forwarded tC
the Army of the Potomac, under a sufficient
guard. In view of the fact that substitutes
from other parts of the State, as well as from
other States, are going forward, the army
will soon be filled. In short time the
drafted men of Philadelphia will be required
to report for duty, and the addition to the
army will prove large one.
The bill in equity, filed in the Supreme
Court. to test the cOnstitutlonallty OF the
draft, by praying an Injunction 10 restrain
drafted man named Nichols, will not be heard

THE NEGRO ENLISTMENT IN THE SOUTH

The following article on the negro regi

late number of the Chicago Times. |
would appear that the experiment o
making soldiers out Of runaway slave'

surd and ridiculous--none so destitute OF III
slightest result-as the mission Of Adiutan'
General Thomas for the enlistment Of negf
soldiers in the Southwest. We have bee
amused at the venerable prattle OF his print
