THE DRAgrE.

There is great uneasiness manifested by
some with regard to the manner in which
the coming draft is to be conducted how,
when, where, &c. Some seem to have the
idea that the drawing is to made in secret,
and that drafted persons will know nothing
about it until called upon to report for duty.
These impressions are erroneous and should
be corrected. The Davenport Democrat Dc
Nesos, of the 30th inst speaks semi-oflici
ally, as follows:
We are authorized by Major Duncan, Pro-
vost Marshal General for the State Of Iowa,
to state to all concerned, first, that he has
had no instructions whatever as to the day
when the CONSUMPTION is to be made. Sec.
ond that but three of the SIX Assistant
Provost Marshals in Iowa have yet made
returns to him-those of the LIST, End and
9th, consequently the enrolment is yet in
complete. Third, that when he receives no
tce from headquarters to proceed with the
draft that timely notice will be given to the
public throughout the State, so that all shall
be apprsed thereof; that the draft will be
publicly conduct and that all will be invited
| to be present that they may see and hear
| that all matters connected with the drafting
will be plainly stated. and carried on with
the greatest fairness and strictness impair.
TALLY.
! He wishes further to state that the books
in the enrolling offices of the various dis.
tricts are open to the inspection of the pub
lie; that any person who has any doubts OF
surmises to clear up can sec them at any
time. In short, he wishes to be understood
that the greatest caution and watchfulness
will be exercised that no one shall have rea.
son to complain that Partially has been
shown in any direction. There is not the
least occasion for any apprehension of wrong

Major Duncan is capable OF duplicity. or bias

inhuman manner all colored troops in the
