We said the otber day that Gov. Seymour oid mol

DRAFT from the "rurl districts but that all me
.xer,ions were being put forth TO relieve ms
.friends" In New-Yor City and It's suburbs from
,be duty of bearing heir share Of the burdens in-
posed by the Enrolment act; and We now have q
stsrthng confirmation Of tie fact. Tine BIgd1

nony 1t appears that Mr. VIM. Wlkeson wa
seut TO Washington TO otaln credit on the draft tt
the men who have been enlisted ia Buffalo since the
9Th OF February last but returned with the lniorma
ton that IL could not be accomplished as 70 make
Il local relief. Tie following is TIE C0gr'@
statement OF the case:
Ad,usnGenersl Sprague IN his mission to the National
C.pisl had procured TIE erecting Of al the men ~hos

cilies and towns which have iurisned an eAcees W
their former quotas and now we md thei the 0ncer
s.nt down by the Governor himself has caused the
credited 10 the State at large, that the City OF
Nsw.York and the few otner places which are
largely deficient receive the benefit OF the surplus
,oipnieers furnished IN other localities
Thus, Rochester has furnished about q Thousand
men more lhan its quota, but will receive no special
sredit for them under this precious arrangemen ut
vade by the State authorities. They have slready
been credited to the whole State at the specis re-
suest of Adt Gen Sprsgue, acting under the drec-
Son of Gov. SEYMOUR Thus, districts whi:h az
dsfcept will profit much by the surplus OF Koch
ss,er AS Rochester itself will
Bv this plan the city Of New-NOrk, which is be
hind in It's quota from 10000 10 $1,000 men, and
Brooklyn which is also aI eely in srIesrs VIII REAP
the benefit of the patriotic exertioDs Of Rochester
Buffalo and other places which have furnished more
tban their proportions Of volunteers!
Really Gov. Seymour friends IN New-l OH
have reason 10 COT. rgtuate themselves upon Their
ngscity IN choosing 8 Governor who IL go careful
Of them; but tow with the people IN other paris
of the Staie We DOUBT whether they viii be at
well suited with the Governors arrangements.
There il one satisfactory reflection TO be made The
Democratic journals IN Gov. SeymOurs interest VIII
now be compelled 10 ceafe their complaints against
The Federal officials. Tie Latter appear to have
made cue allowance for volunteers furnished, and
no one but Gov Seymour can be blamed becaus,
he localities which furnished surplus men do moi
receive tie benefit Of tier energy and patnolism'
