"Under the thirteenth section of the

tute or pay the commutation, must do so
on or before the day fixed for his appear
ance, The privilege expires with that
day. IF he fails TO report himself and is
arrested as deserter, he has still the
right to 60 before the board of enrolment
and prove that he is not liable to do mill
tary duty but if, on the hearing, his
claim to exemption, he is TO be held liable
he cannot escape personal service. He is
also, under such circumstances, subject to

EFFECTS OF THE WAR AT THE NoRTl

EFFECTS OF THE WAR AT THE NORTH
While we are suffering the miseries
springing from deranged and redundant
currency, it is sweet to know that the hate.
full Yankees, the authors of all our woes,
have not escaped similar evils. From a
gentleman who left New York ten days
ago, I'VE have received an interesting and
highly gratifying account of the condition
of the currency and the markets Of that
great metropolis, which, being its centre OF
trade and wealth, is certain index of the
condition of affairs throughout the North.
Our informant says that the price of eve.
ry article in the market has risen two hun.
dred and a great many Of them three hun
dred per cent. Real estate is held at fab
ulous prices, and will not be sold for green
backs at any price. A piece Of coin is no
more seen in circulation than it is with US.
The small change consists of postal cur.
rency, individual notes, bar.room tickets,
milk tickets, SO. Bank notes have long
disappeared from circulation, and are boar
ded by individuals, who are afraid to offer
them for sale, Jest they should be arrested
for attempting to depreciate the precious
green. backs.
The North is suffering another evil of al
most equal magnitude, The Alabama,
Florida and Retribution have sent dismay
to the hearts of the underwriters, and they
refuse utterly to insure goods in Yankee
bottoms. Consequently, the immense Yam
kee merchant navy is idlo, andtlies rotting
at the ,wharves. Thousands of men are
thrown out of employment, and the suf-
fering in all the coast towns is terrible. L.
But by far the greatest evil that now at
ficts Northern communities is the uniyer-
sal distrust which, like moral pestilence,
pervades all classes. They are destitute of
confidence in their currency, their army,
their rulers and themselves, and with the
gloomiest apprehensions look forward to
the future,
Our, own ills seem more endurable, when
We know that our enemies are suffering,
even in greater degree.-RieA Examiner.
