Thus far but few of those drafted in this city
have been accepted into the service of the United
States. They have either procured exemption
or have furnished substitutes, while few have
psid the communication money. Capt. Scheetzis,
however, very particular in allowing claims TO
exemption. He swears all parties, and ques-
tions them closely: and those who profess to be
unable TO perform military duty On account Of
physical defects, are searchingly examined
from head to feot by DR.. Keasby. no !.
The most common infirmity is hernia: and
persons afflicted thus are OF course unfit tor

claimed exempt Many claim exemption on
account Of hemorrhoids (piles). The law how
ever, is explicit on that poinf, and mere exter-
ton; old and liberated and internal henaor-

cy, are, however, taken into consideration by
the surgeon deciding upon case. Advanced
stage Of consumption is also cause for exemp.

This morning drafted man claimed exemp.
ton on account Of chronic diarrhea, and he
produced a number OF certificates from physi.
clans in this city. Not satisfied with this, the
man said he had discharge In his pocket. DIR.
Keasby supposed. OF course, that it was a dis.

Enrolment and asked for papers exeIupting

money back, in order that he might procure a
substitute.
There have been up 10 this hour 81 cases

yielded sixteen Standardization white and
three colored-all being substitutes.
