10 Tue LdhoF o. the f'ress:
AUGUSTA, Oct. 23d, 1868.
Recruiting for the invalid corps has been
stopped throughout the State, in order that
men may be obtained for active service under
the new call for volunteers. The State au-
thorities are giving their undivided endeavors
to obtaining our quota by voluntary enlist
ments, and no doubts are entertained as to the
result. A few towns have been somewhat
drained by previous calls, but they have con-
siderable credit OF surplus. About seven hun
dred veterans are encamped here, under Capt.
w. p. Jordan, of Portland, Col. Beal being Of
ficially engaged. Recruiting officers have
been detailed to open Offices in various sections
OF the State, and most cheering results are ex-
pected. The general feeling of the people of
the State is indicative Of q hearty response to
the calls of the government
About seventy invalds are encamped here !;
some are eyeless, some toothless, some armless,
anfa more or less giving evidence of hard
battle. They are OF true pluck, and by re-en-
listing show determination and bravery
worthy of imitation.
MIR. Fred. A. Ellis, the gentlemanly clerk Of
the Mansion House has SO far recovered from
the late savage assault upon him as to be about
the hotel.
The first show Of the Waterville Horse AS
ISOLATION terminated most successfully at Wat

three thousand people witnessed the trots,
which are considered superior to any hereto
fore in Maine. Not being posted in the New
York Clipper mode of reporting races, We can
but say that Lang's horse, Gen. Knox, ran the
hardest contested heat, on the following time:
First heat 2.32 10; second heat 2.32; third
heat 2.34. Hiram Drew was almost up to the
General on the two first heats, but the latter

The Hcrald's Washington dispatch saws it is

suit with the President in regard to new
movement of the army of the Potomac, for
the execution of which arrangements are al

Much has been said during the past three or
four months, while drafting has been going on,
In favor of raising soldiers by the volunteer
system, instead of by draft. The volunteer
system has never been abandoned in this State,
offices having been open in all the large cities
where men who desired could enlist any day
since the drafting commenced, and men were
constantly and earnestly solicited to step in
"out OF q draft"
But men were needed faster than they came
forward 10 offer themselves for the country's
service. What must be done? Were we to
leave our brave men in the field to be outnum-
bered, overpowered and destroyed by the reb-
els, and our noble country to be torn in frag
ments by traitorous hands? Was the govern
ment to withdraw the troops, and acknowledge
that there was not sufficient power therein to
secure obedience to its laws, or demand OF the
men of the country that they come to its sup
port? Whether the enterprise was such as
was desirable or not, the necessity was imper-
alive, and men must be obtained. How? As
all are not wanted, the fairest way was to de-
eide by lot who should be compelled to enter
upon the unpleasant work or furnish an equity
alent in men or money.
The draft was necessity growing out of the
failure to secure a sufficient number of volun-
teers. But, from various causes it has not an
s~ered the expectations of those who advocat-
ed the passage of the CONSUMPTION act or those
who have defended it. The failure is not the
fault OF the law, that was as humane and equal
AS mere men, without any precedents to guide
them, could make it. The practical operation,
however, developes defects which will be
amended
Another emergency is to be met. The Pres
ident has called for ISL more men from this
State. The men are, or may be, needed, as
every one can see who is informed in the war
movements. The President does not prescribe
only il not raised by such time, resort will be
had to conscription. Every man will say, let
us raise the volunteers if we can. Let induce
ments of the most liberal kind be offered. Let
towns that will be obliged to raise their quotas
OF men by draft, if not by volunteering, offer
the same bounty to volunteers that has been
paid drafted men, and there can be no doubt
the men can he raised. A little more than
two months only is allowed for volunteering
before the draft is resor;ed to. Let meetings
be called in each town and city to talk the
matter over and decide on the best course 10
be pursued, and then go to work earnestly and
systematically with the determination that the
quota Of Maine shall be in the field by the first
day of January, 1854.

THAT BIDIE.-It will be remembered that
there was communication published in the
Press short time since stating that bible
had been taken from dead rebel in which
was the name of Miss Almira Alice Wilson,
Pressure Isle. The Loyal Sunrise contains
the following:
son the morning that Moses c. Annis, 4
patriot in the 18th U. 5. Infantry left home
Mrs. Annis formerly Miss Wilson,, presented
him with the bible. At the battle of Chan
cellorsville, Moses lost his knapsack contain
ing This bible, and also his mothers and sisters
miniature. He was wounded at the battle of
Gettysburg, and letter received by his sister
on Friday last from him, staetes that he is
now in the hospital in Harrisburg, Pa. nearly
recovered from his wounds. What's volume
of thought do these incidents in the career of
a brave soldier awaken.
A bible mothers and sisters miniature
sacredly preserved, and together kept"
through the visistisudes of soldiers life and
lost only on the sanguinary battle field, tells a
tale Of iilial piety, and Of devotion to God bet
ter than words can do. Our country is safe
whilst such men fight her battles. The incl

NEW YORK, Oct. %.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says it is
learned from perfectly trustworthy source
that Admiral Dahlgren has been relieved from
the command OF the iron fleet at Charleston a
few days since, and that Capt. Thomas Turner
OF the Ironsdes was appointed to the position
1t is believed that official notice of the change
went TO Charleston in the last steamer
Thus far Lee has retreated without stopping
to make any considerable resistance, and the
main body of his army is now reported beyond
the Rapidan. If Lee gets fairly out of fighting
distance, you may expect to hear that the fate
of Gen. Rosecrans is visited upon Meade, who
has certainly been too cautious in the pursuit
Gems. Sedgwick and Sickles are talked of as
his successor.
observation-disclosures from the front to-day
shows that active operations for the present
are at an end Lees forces are beyond the
Rappahannock, and are probably concentrated
at Culpepper. The statement of Washington
papers that our forces have penetrated that
far, is untrue.
Gen. Meade came to Washington to-day, and
after an interview with the President and Gen.
Haleck, returned late this evening to head
quarters.
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad is
completely ruined between WarrentoD and
