Delaware State journal and statesman., 1863-05-19

A good deal of confusion seems to exist
in the public mind concerning what is
wrongly called the "Conscript act pass
ed by the last session of Congress Pro-
perly speaking, no such act was passed
The act referred to, the correct popular
title of which is the ENROLMENT act" is
not at all in the nature of conscription
The utmost it requires or authorizes is an
enrolment of a certain portion Of the pc.
pulation of the United States, with view
to their being called into the service Of
the Government, if necessary.
This enrolment is no more in the nature
of conscription than is the taking of the
census. 1t is, in fact, merely census of
such portion of the people as is capable
of military service. The government de-
sires to know who and what its resources
are in the shape Of men and materiet
One step toward it is the enrolment as
innocent and praiseworth a deed as is the
registry Of voters or the assessment of
property 1t is the only means the Gov
ernment has Of learning its power; which
it is eminently necessary it should know
1t is sometimes hinted that there will be
difficulty in the execution Of this act
Possibly some evil disposed persons may
endeayor to create such difficulty So
there have been troubles in the location
of railroads in the assessment Of pro-
perty, nd IN the taking Of the census
But they grew out Of Ignorance Or mis-

The Commission has kped dorm most
of the prejudicial reports concerning it.
There are always returned soldiers
bringing with them stories of dishonest
surgeons and nurses, some of which must
necessarily be true in so large an army as
ours. We never deny these reports, but
the proofs (names and dates) are asked
for, with promise of investigation, and
the punishment of all convicted delin-
quents. We have not, as yet, been able
to trace back any of these reports to any
thing tangible.
We presume there are few persons who
have not heard some charge brought
against the Commission There has been
rumor for some weeks in circulation
here that some ladies in Washington, con
nected with the Sanitary Commission, had
been selling bandages and lint in large
quantities. This rumor at length reached
the ears of the President of the Commits
sion. Inquiries were set on foot, and the
name of the paper manufacturer ascertain
ed. An agent was Immediately sent to
him to examine the material, which, if
coming from the Sanitary Commission,
would bear the mark upon the separate
rolls The manufacturer confirmed the
report, but unfortunately had made up all
the stock into paper. The name Of the
dealer from whom he had made the pur-
chase was next ascertained, and the agent

HOW TO TEACH A HORSE TO
BACK.

A correspondent of the Rural New
orker, would teach horse how to back
in this wise: "a horse that will not, or
don't know how to back, should be har-
messed beside one that is kind and we'll
broken, and hitched to a lumber wagon.
loaded mot too heavy) with wood, rails,
or anything at hand, or that you wish to
move and then find in the road or field.
Knoll where the surface is smooth and
free from stones, and the decent from one
to two rods. Drive the loaded wagon to
the top, and after stopping minute or so.
command your horses to back, pulling
steady but hrm on the lines. The wagon
being in position to start very easy, and
being loaded, will not easily stop after it
is inmotion, and your horse, if the har-
ness be good, will be very likely to
back down the hill After getting to the
bottom of the hill, speak kindly to him.
BE sure to say whoa" about the time You
see the wagon is going to stop. Patting
him and rubbing your hand over his head
and face, repeat the going up and backing
down the hill until he knows what It
means to back and then commence back
ing the empty wagon on the level gradu-
ally increasing the load, and you will soon
be able to back all the load that would
be reasonable to back-not forgetting to
pat your horse, rubbing the hand over his
face and head, and calling him good
fellow, and using him like one. He will
soon make up his mind that he really is a
good fellow, and of course he will act like
one, and will become your friend and will
ing slave, and do what he is required to,
evening bordering on impossibilities.

Prosperity OF FooLs.-I have ALWAYS
maintained that the one important pheno-
lnenon presented by modern society is
the enormous prosperity of fools Show
me an individual fool, and l will show yotf
an aggregate society which gives that
highly favored parsonage nine chances
out OF ten, and grudges the tenth to the
wlsest man in existence. Look where
you will, in every high place there sits an
ass, settled beyond the reach of all the
greatest intellects in the world to pull him
down. Hee is the perfectly hopeless
BOBBY Frank he has never done any,
thing in his life to help himself, and, as a
necessary consequence, society is in a con-
splracy to carry him to the top of the
tree. lie has hardly had time to throw
away that chance you gave him, before
this letter comes and puts the ball at his
loot for the second time. My rich cousin
(who is intellectually fit to be at the tail
OF the family, and who is therefore. as a
matter of course, at the head of it has
been good enough to remember nv exis-
tence, and has offered his influence to
serve my eldest boy. Read this letter,
and then observe the sequence of events.
MY rich cousin is BOBBY who thrives on
landed property; he has done something
for another BOBBY who thrives on politics,
who knows a third BOBBY who thriyes on
commerce, who can do something for A
fourth BOBBY thriving at present on moth
ing, whose name is Frank. So the mill
goes. So the cream of all human rewards
is supped in endless succession by the
fools,- WSlkie Collins.

representation; and no man in the North
ern states, except a fool or knave,
thinks now of opposing any such steps as
these. No more should there be any op-
position in the enrolment, which, if
thoroughly carried out few times, as the
law requires it shall be, cannot fail to be
OF immense advantage in many ways.
The question of the draft has nothing
whatever to do with it, except as it en-
ables the Government to know who ought
and who ought not to be drafted. A
Conscript law is an indiscriminate enforce
ment of the population into the military
service, as is the case in the South at the
present time. An enrolment is nothing
ol the kind The two should not, there
fore, be confounded.
The draft may never take place. That
Will depend on the public necessity and
the Executive will. But he who opposes
or endeavors to impede the carrying out
OF the enrolment, so far from taking anv
step toward preventing the draft, is simply
doing the very thing which may render a
draft inevitable and indiscriminate. But
we have no fear Of any such result. If
nothing Gse, the return to their homes of
SO many of our brave soldiers, who have
recently been mustered out at the close of
their honorable service, is a sure guaranty
That eve ything in the shape of the violent
opposition thereto will be promptly sup
pressed.

SANITARY COMMISSION.
SIXTH ARTICLE.
Cur Sick and Wounded Soldiers.

We were recently shown letter from n
Hospital Stewart at Nashville, making
complaints of the Sanitary Commission
for Withholding their stores for the battle
field, while men in Hospital were suffering
for the want of them and at the same
time an application was made for supplies
to be sent out from this branch. Upon
taking the letter to one connected with
the Philadelphia Agency, to receive in
structions as to the course to be pursued,
we were told that such complaints were
not reliable: that the Surgeon in charge
of the Hospital could obtain from the
Louisville Branch of the Sanitary Com
mission ali that was necessary, by making
proper requisition never being
withheld from any point where they were
needei This was satisfactory but wish
ing for further intelligence, we have writ
ten to the Sanitary Inspector, and we hope
before long to have information from a
more responsible source concerning the
Nashville Hosp ais. In the meantime,

munication from Nashville, to show that

witnessed in this State. The military escort
was large, and the Governor and staff, State
officers, and members of the Legislature were
present, together with the civil authorities OF
the cities Of New Haven and Hartford, and the
officers Of the National Government The
stores were closed and mostly draped in mourn :
Ing, also many private residences.
The remains lay in state in the State House
from ten until two O'Clock, when escorted by a
company of marines, they were borne to the
Centre church, where the Rev. DIR. Leonard
Bacon, assisted by the Rev. Drs Dutton and
Cleveland, conducted the exercises. At half
past four, the military, commanded by Major
General Russell, and the civic procession in

Sndell has had very long conference with
the Emperor OF France The Emperor sent
Tor him and had a private tste-a-tete with him
at breakfast. They did not part until the

by Napoleon are likely to be the result of the
fall Of Puebla.

suspicion and was searched at Hartlepool, in
the belief that she was intended tor Southern

She is vigilantly watched.
