The Portland daily press., 1863-11-07
The List OF NOn-reporting Conscripts.

The list of drafted men who fail to report
to the Provost Marshals office, is required to
be published with three insertions, in public
newspaper. The list was inserted first Thurs
day morning, and not knowing that any alter
ations were TO be made, we worked off in ad-
vance the outside impressions of our paper
containing the list. not only for Friday but
also for Monday, in order to allow the press
to lie idle to-day for the engineer to put out
his fires aud clean out the boiler. Because of
this fact We publish the following list OF per-
sons whose names appear in the other list,
but who, since that list was published, have
either reported or been ascertained to be ex-
empt in consequence of being in the service
on the 3D. of March:

As we are upon this matter we may as well
say. that while few errors have been discov-
cred in the list that has been published, and
while in one instance at least there would seem
TO outsiders to be no reasonable excuse, yet
the Provost Marshal and his subordnates have
been indefatigable in their efforts to guard
against such things, and have taken every
reasonable precaution, by questioning select
men and other persons presumed to be well
posted in relation to the names of their own
townsmen, to prevent the commission of the
slightest injustice to any one. In some cases I'M
questonably, incompetent or careless enrolling
officers were at fault; in more numerous in
stances difficulties have arisen from the I'M
willingness or refusal.of parties to give correct
information TO the enrolling officers when
called upon, while the completely and delicacy
of the whole business seem to render more or
less errors unavoidable. We are quite sure
that no one can regret more deeply the occur
renee of any errors or mistakes, annoying or
unjust to individuals, than the Provost Mar
shall and his corps of attendants.
