General Order No. {

Official information having been received,
that men mustered into new Organizations will
be credited In reduction Of the quotas under the
call Tor 300 900 volunteers, it is ordered as fol-
lows:
|. The selectmen of the several towns in this
State Will not ALLOW this information to interfere
with their efforts to fill their quotas for old
regiments, as assigned in General Order No. 9.
dated November 2, 1868, but will proceed. with
al due diligence, TO fill their quotas as hereto.
fore directed. The Battery of Light Artillery,
Stationed at Burlington, and recruited by Capt
X. H. Start, will he mustered into the service
of the United States in season to allow the men
enlisted for that organization, to be credited
upon the quotas Of the towns, from which thew
enlisted, under the call for 300 900 volunteers.
But as the Seventeenth Regiment can only be
credited tUhen mustered, and can only be muster
ed when il shall have been filled to the minimum
by enlistment, there is no such reasonable pros
pect, that it will be raised and mustered prevl-
Gus to the fifth day Of January, 1864, as will
justify the selecmen of the several towns in re-
hitting their forts to raise recruits to fill their
quotas for old regiments, as heretofore assigned.
AS soon as the regiment is filed, it viii be
mustered and if filled in season to be mustered
previous to January 9Th, the men of the regi
ment will be credited, in pursuance of the IN
formation received, But good faith to the sew
eral towns requires, that they should be inform
ed what is the reasonable prospect as to the
regiment beng filled, and be cautioned that
they do not allow themselves to incur hazard of
a draft, through reliance upon expectations that
the regiment will be filled and mustered in sea-
son TO secure to them the benefit of the credit
for the men enlisted therein, upon their present
quotas, under the call tor 100000 men.
2. The Seventeenth Regiment will not be
dsbsnded, but Will be filled to the maximum
and mustered into the service of the United
States as soon as it can be done Every effort
will be used by the Governor of the State to Sc
cure tor the men OF the regiment the same gov
ernment bounties and all the advantages which
are received by recruits for other regiments, and
it is confidently expected and desired that the
several recruiting officers for the regiment, and
the selectmen of the several towns, will promote
the filling of the regiment as soon as is pract-
cable and, when mustered, although it should
DC subsequent to the fifth Of January, the men
WIZ ce credited to the towns, from which thew
enlist, towards their deficiency of the draft, or
under any future call which may be made.

VOLUNTEERING AND DRAFnNG.-From an or
DER OF Gen Washburn which we print elsewhere,
1t Will be seen that we were in error in stating
that volunteers in the 18th regiment would be
credited to their respective towns on the last call
for volunteers. They will not be thus credited
unless the regiment is filled before the 9Th Of
January. Those enlisted in the Battery will be
credited as We stated, as it is now certain that the
Battery will be mustered in before January 9TH,
1t now, f not already full, lacking but three or
four recruits of being so.
1t is now, also, probable that the date fixed
for the cratt-Januery 5th-will be changed to
later day, to give Congress tin to make some
needed alterations in the CONSUMPTION law and
IN that case, OF course, towns which have not AL
ready filed their quotas will have so much more
time to obtain volunteers.

THE FRUTs.-We cut the following items from
our exchanges
There are now in New Orleans seven schools
for coored children, with twenty-tbree teachers
and eleven hundred and ninety scholars.
A New Orleans letter says working men are
prosperous, wages being very high. there are no
slaves, and every ablebodied servant expects
twenty dollars per month. The " Yankees have
come in with the currency and they want
help" They have taken the stores, put up red
and gilt signs of Dry Goods" Yankee No.
tons, " Produce" &C., and gradually they are
making new city.
Among the acts passed by the West Virginia
Legislature at its recent session was one for a
system Of free schools.
The above are instructive paragraphs in the
history Of Emancipation. Slavery could never
endure free schools, nor servants working
tor wages Industry, enterprise, thrift, and edu-
cation for the million, had no place in its system
OF political economy. 1t was the ally of gnor-
ance and the foe of wages" "The laborer is
worthy of his hire was no part of its creed AS
natural result of these opinions, the contrast be-
tween Southern slaveholdng States and Northern
free States had become in the highest degree
marked, u all the characteristics regarded essen
tlal to the growth stability, prosperity and free
dom of ommonweaths. The free States have
made rapid Advancement in wealth. and in popu-
lation, and the intelligence, the brains of their
entire population, have contributed, as product
of their free schools, to the sum of their wealth,
in the ideas and thoughts that rule the world
But the slaveholdng States during the same time
tagging far behind in every course of material
prosperity, have kept one third of their popula-
ton ignorant and imbruted, and at last, through
envy OF and spite against more intelligent, and
prosperous neighbors, have plunged TITO the
terrible crime of treason.
But Yankee enterprise, free schools, and wages
tor those who work, will shortly change the
whole aspect of these rebelious districts and an
other generation of southerners may have cause
10 bless the terrible CONFUSION through which the
nation cast out the devil of slavery Then sitting,
clothed and in their right minds, the people of
States now cursed with slavery, shall find that
New England enterprise, education, morals and
freedom, will cause southern fields to blossom
with richer and nobler haryests than ever before,
and people heE territory with race of men who
love justice and liberty.

Ripe Old Age

1ne man that dies youngest, as might De
expected, perhaps, is the railway brakeman.
His average age is only 27. Yet tbs must
be taken with some allowance, from the fact
that hardly any but young and active men
are employed in the capacity.
AT the same age dies the factory workwo-
man, through the combined Influence of con-
fined air, sedentary posture, scant wages, aud
unremittiDg toll.

the powder-maker, the well-digger, and the

sudden and violent deaths, die on an average
under the age of 30.

apothecary, the confectioner, the cigar maker,

A DECISIVE VoTE-When bill making an
appropriation for paying bountes to volunteers,
was under discussion ia the House of Represen-
tative', on Monday, Mr.. Harding, (Dem.) of
Kentucky, offered an amendment that no part of
the money appropriated be used for raising, arm.
ing, equipping and payirs negro soldiers This
proposed amendment was rejected by the decided
vote of l05 to IL. Many Democrats voted against
the amendment. This is evidence of decided
progress. Two years ago no man who cal ed
himself Democrat, would have thought of vc-
ting in favor Of encouraging negro enlstments,
and the Border State men would have been I'M
animous against such proposition. But preiu-
dices and opinions have changed since then, and
men from slave States and prominent Democrats
vote now with Republicans, and give their boun.
ties TO negro volunteers. Is it improbable that
the same march Of opinion may in two years more
establish as large majority in Congress in favor
of giving negroes all their lights2

parties to suite in which the Government has an
