to Brandy Station. The rebels were numeri.

this we drove them back handsomely, and

THE CLASSES UNDER THE CoNsCkIPTIoN.-
The Consumption bill divides citizens liable to
draft into two classes. One comprises all able
bodied men between the ages of twenty and
thirty five, married or unmarried; and all I'M.
married men between the ages of thirty five
and forty five. The second class includes all
married men between the last named ages 1t
turns out, according to the enrolment in New
York city, that the proportion of the first class
to the second is nearly as four to one. There is
good throughout the country generally. In the
extreme tier of Western States. the Territories,
and California, the proportion OF the first-class
to the second will undoubtedly be larger. As
the second class is not to be drawn upon until
the first class is put into service, 1t appears
that the Benedicts between thirty-five and
forty five stand but little chance of the draft;
In fact may be considered as practically exempt
from il unless the war becomes one Of extermi-
