We again caution enrolled men that the
day of the draft is close at hand. Those who
mean to get the large government bounties
should enlist at once, for on next Tuesday
night the golden opportunity will be gone
The government have not the remotest in
tention of ever offering these 5ounties again.
And why should they? If such liberal boun-
ties do not make the patriotic path one more
agreeable to travel, .then there is the stern
conscription law, at the execution Of which,
next 9TH day of January, no one must find
fault. For the commander in chief must

The italian Frigate.

New YORK, Dec. 29.-lhe Italian IRON
clad frigate IRE de Italia" which left this
port Saturday on a trial trip, for Fortress
Monroe, has gone ashore on Jersey beach,
between the Islands and Long Branch.
Three tugs left this morning for the scene Of
disaster. Collector Barney was informed of
the accident, and Immediately dispatched one
of the revenue cutters. The Italian consul
applied to the navy for assistance. We I'M
derstand that the cannon of the ere de Italia"
have been thrown overheard to tighten the
trigate.
The cost of this frigate is 81 500, 900, and
she is uninsured. She was at the time of the
accident in charge of one of the New York
pilots. Those on board for the trip were
Capt. Comstock and several other well-known
American captains and officers, besides, of
course, the officers and crew of the frigato,
with invited guests.

Col, Geo. d. Wells of the Saith Massachusetts
infantry, has returned to Harper's Ferry
without the loss of man after pene-
trating to Harrisonburg. When Averill
Lad finished his work, and after Col,
Wells had accomplished his diversion strictly
according to orders, he found himself con-
fronted by 1000 or 10000 OF Lees forces,
with Gen. Rosser's brigade and part of Stu
arts cavalry in his rear, at Front Royal: BY
clever strategy and forced marches he es-
capped the former and avoided the latter
forces, and reached his post with his men and
munitions unframed. So desperate at one
time seemed the chances of the expedition
that the rebels in Winchester offered bets
that not a man would return. One hundred
rebel prisoners were safely brought off.

New York, Dec 29.--The Post states that
a British lieutenant, who was to sail to-day
for Bermuda on board sailing vessel (the
Amazon) with rebel letters in his possession,
was caught to-day by United States marshal
Murray, and is now on his way to fort Laiay-
cite. The other officer was to proceed with
the officers, but marshal Davis received infor-
nation concerning the rebel mail, gave the
captain permit, allowed the other passen-
gers to go forward, but detained the lieuten-
ant. That individual displayed his uniform
and much arrogance at the office of the mar
shall, but the baggage in which the mail was
concealed was sent for and the letters found.
The letters were at once forwarded to secre-
tary Seward, who is in this city. and it is I'M
derstood that the secretary, while having no
objection to the presence here of English Off
GERS, agreed that such individuals ought not TO
engage in the business of carrying mails to
rebels. The Engishmen was sent to the fort.
Before lie went to the fort, however, the Off
Ger insisted thst the rebels had vast stores at
Bermuda. That place he said was great
port of war material He allowed that
large share of it came from this city.

The Congressional Adjouranteat-Ih The Con-
scriptiOR Lac.
WASHINGTON Dec &C. 1868.
You know already that congress has ad.
iourned from Dee 23d to January 5th,-near-
ly two weeks This adjournment seems to
me to be an inexcusable disregard of the pub
lie business The "Christmas Holidays are
named as the reason for this adjournment;
and there is really no other reason; but these
Christmas Holidays are little more than
form OF speech. Business goes on as usual
at all the departments; nowhere is there
suspension of business save in congress.
Many of the members, however, instead Of
going home, are taking the time TO advance
their business at the departments, and make
acquaintance with the hospitals.
1t was supposed that congress would not
think of adjourning until the proposed amend
ments of the CONSUMPTION law had been con-
sidered and acted on; but this subject was
put aside A joint resolution was passed, in
which there is provision that the govern
ment bounties of $500 and $500 shall not be
paid after the 9th of January. The resolu-
ton came to the house from the military com
mittee; and the provision to suspend the pay
ment of bounties was added in the senate;
the house afterwards agreeing to the amend
ment. Many failed to see good policy in it /;
but it is now the law of the land, and those
who mean to get the large government boun-
ties, in addition to the bounty offered by the
Al L.
After that time the government will pay only
the bounty of 800; and it seems absolutely
certain that the offer of the larger bounties
will not hereafter be renewed.
1t is likely that the amendment of the con-
scripton law: proposed by the Committee on
Military Affairs, will be taken up Immediately
after congress shall reassenble. On the
morning of the adjournment there was an at
tempt to put through in hurry bill to con-
solidate the first and second enrolled classes
but it was deemed by many that matters so
important should not be managed in that
style; and so the bill went to the Committee
of the Whole on the State of the Union. 1t
is believed, however, that no draft will take
piace unul congress mas VOteu on the prOpo-
sitions to strike ont the $500 communication
clause, to consolidate the two enrolled classes
and to amend the law in several other partic
ulars. 1t is to be hoped that draft will be
found necessary. The military committee is
very anxious to amend tine law in the particu
lars named. As yet, nothing indicates yer.
clearly whether the house and senate will o
will not agree with this Committee, althoug
most of those with whom l converse on til
subject believe very confidently that the tw
classes will be consolidated, and that tn
$500 clause will be repealed.

Florida Reorganizing.

On the evening of the 18th inst, the first
Augustine, for the restoration of Florida to
the Union. Prominent in the movement
were many old citizens, who were driven
from the state at the outbreak of the rebellion
for their firm and unwavering loyalty, but
who have now returned, with the assurance
that the government will protect them against
all foes. The prevailing and unanimous sem
timent among them was that immediate meas
ures shonld be adopted for recognizing the
state government on the basis of absolute
loyalty to the Union, and that the state con-
stitution should be so reformed that secession
and rebellion would be henceforth impossible.
To this end it was of first importance to re-
cognlze the fact that ALL persons in the state
are FREE, and to provide by fundamental law
that SLAVERY shall be henceforth prohibited.
They also recommended that delegate con-
vention be held at st. Augustine on the
LIST of March next, for the purpose of
repairing the wreck, and amending the char
ter in the respects here suggested. This
is another of the fruits of the presidents plan
of reunion. All who were interested in re-
storing the state to its old place in the govern
ment, accepted it with all its conditions,
without reservation or a doubt, as the
prophecy and beginning of better times. 1t
was an event of no ordinary historical inter-
est, when these loyal and true men met to-
gether to plant the standard of liberty and
law on the spot where three centuries ago
Spanish adventures - Velasquez, Narvaez,
and DE Soto-came to plant the bloody stan
dard of tyranny and slavery.
