DEATH OF Hon. S. A. WILLARD
Hon. Sam'l A. Willard, whose death we
barely announced in our last paper, de-
serves more than such brief mention, and
had we not been so pressed for time
should have done his memory the justice
Of a more extended notice. Judge VIII
lard formerly resided in Lamoille county,
where be practiced law for many years,
but for several years past he had resided
at Barton Landing-representing the
town Of Barton in 1858-'59. He was
well known TO the people of this county,
in LamoiIle, and in many other parts Of
the state, and wherever known, or in
whatever station of life be was placed
in the capacity of judge, attorney, or pri-
vate citizen, he won the confidence of all
with whom he was associated he was
affable, kind and gentlemanly in his de-
pertinent, pattern to the rising genera,
ton. In politics Judge Willard was al,
ways democrat, but a democrat that
stood by bis country in her hour of trial,
and who did not strike hands with the das-
tardly traitors that are attempting to pull
down the pillars of our temple. His
birth day dated too near the revolution
to allow him to inbale the virus of cop,
perheadism and cry for "peace upon any
erms." He has gone to his reward, full
IN the faith of glorious future. His
death was sudden and leaves q blank in
that it will take years to fill.

THE BRIGHT SIDE AGAIN.

The Washington Republican of Sat
urday says the government has received
glorious news from Gen. Rosecrans, but
the details cannot be stated. The rebel
army, from the latest kilograms, has not,
it appears, molested Gen. Rosecrans in
his present position. There is in Wash
ington a general spirit of cheerfulness
regarding future military movements.

The delegation at Washington from
Missouri are said to be unanimously in
favor of Gen. Butler as the successor to
Gen. Schofeld. They express a deter

are preparing for an interview with the

GEN. BURNsIDE's POSITION,

Gen. Burnside was at Knoxville on
Friday. Military authorities at Louis
vile say that Burnside did not know of
the impending battle between Rosecrans
and Bragg, and could not have rein
forced Rosecrans if he had. The battle
had been long concluded before the news
reached Burnside. A Kentucky ex-
official left Morristown, Tennessee, Mon
day night. Gen. Burnside was then
forty miles east of Knoxville. Gen.
Hartsuff is at Knoxville. There are no
rebels this side of Greenville. Burnside
is entirely safe in his present position
and, by concentrating at Cumberland
Gap, can repel any force. His supplies
are abundant and not liable to be cut off,
The rebel telegraph line from the gap
to Morristown is not in order, but there

The manner in which the drafting is done,
at least IN this State, precIudes everything
like unfslrness. We copy the following from
the Daily Herald:
The method of procedure in making the draft
is simple, and brief description of it will doubt
less interest our readers. In accordance with in
structons from the War Department, the draft
is made by suh-districts instead of towns. SO in
! fixing the number to be drafted from each sub.
distrctcredt is given for the excess, if any, hich
the sub district has furnished over the quotas of
the towns composing it under previous calls.
The names OF the persons enrolled, are written
opon slips of paper of equal size, each slip con-
tanning one name, together with the name of the
town in which the person designated resides. The
slips embracing the names of all enrolled in one
sub district, are placed together in a simple wood
en- box, SO arranged as to revove by turning
crank at one end, The box is revolved for The
purpose of mixing the slips up well together is
opened and one slip drawn out, the name upon il
announced with the residence and recorded. The
box is again revolved, opened, and one other slip
drawn, and so on until number of slips equal to
the number OF drafted men required from the
suo-dlstnct III question, are drawn out, the name
oelng recorded IN the order in which the sps
containing them are dawn. The slips remaining
IN the box at the close of the drawing, are taken
out and sealed up for future reference.
The stage on Saturday was occupied by the
board of enrolment, and the deputy enrolling
oitcers OF Washington County, and other parts Of
the District The box was tnrned by the Com
missioner of the board the slips were drawn
from the box by Mr.. Reynolds of Pittsford,
dlsnterested and respectable person, who has been
totdIty 6lna Tor years, and each slip as drawn vas
handed by Mr.. Reynolds to the Provost Marshal,
VINO announced the pame, and it was recorded by
the Clerk. AT the close of the drawing the slips
uTawn' ana the revolving box used, were submit
teo TO the examination of the person assembled in
the hall.

The Mob in New York, and its Connection
with the Draft.

While the visible physical strength of the mob
in New York is composed largely of thieves, gar
rioters and cut-throats, there is unfortunately the
most convincing evidence that those who for
months have been clamoring in the newspapers
and on the hustings against the CONSUMPTION law,
are in alliance with these riotous villains to resist
the draft. Mr. Sandford, one Of the Board of
Councilmen in New York, made this speech the
other evening at meeting of the Board, as report
ed by the Herald:
"Mr. Sanford said that the $500 conscription
clause was the occasion of all this trouble. SO
far as he was concerned, he would vote for any
amount of money to permit poor men to remain
at home with their families but, SO far as his
private opinion was concerned, he Ysuld moi uete
