HumOrs Of the Draft.

The draft is attended by some curious
results. In Boston several members of the
Board of Brokers have been drawn. One
gentleman who had secured passage to
Calcutta, while on his way to the vessel in
which he was to sail purchased paper
containing list of the drafted men. He
soon perceived his own name among them,
whereupon he gave up his contemplated
journey and returned home Ten men are
taken from the Boston Custom House, and
ten from the Navy Yard:
In Chelsea, Massachusetts, the Methodist
minister was taken; in Charlestown two Prot
estant ministers are taken, and in Cambridge
Rev. Mr.. Murray, the Congregational minister.
From one store in Beverly all the men are
taken-owner, book-keeper and clerk.
In CharlestOwn two brothers, twins, are
taken.
A lady residing in Cambridge has sent three
sons to the war, two of whom have been killed
in battle and the third died from sickness. A
fourth son was drafted on Friday morning.
In one or two cases it was discovered that a
man had been enrolled in two different sub-dis-
tricts, and one man who had been drafted in
Boston belonged in Chelsea and his name was
thrown out. This did not save him. for he was
drafted with the Chelsea quota.
The Lowell Courier states that at Concord,
on Thursday, thirty-sX men were drafted from
the town of Acton. A gentleman of that town
belonging in the first class thought he would
rather enlist than stand the draft. He declared
his belief that he should be elected" and TAX
ing an early train for Boston he enlisted and
secured his bounty. His forethought in so do
ing was made apparent, as his name was the
first one drawn.
Among the persons drafted in Boston
and its vicinity are six policemen from one
district; Mr.. Duff1e, Postmaster of Cam
bridgeport; Emory Washburn, Jr., son of
Ex-Governor Washburn, and Horatio Alger
Jr., the well-known poet. Nine persons
were drawn from boarding house in ward
Nine, and two only sons from a house in
ward Six.

THE new two cent stamp which has just
been issued by the department to meet
the demand created by the new law fixing
the rates on drop letters, circulars, tran
sient printing matter, &C., at two cents,
are black in color, and bear head of
Gen. Andrew Jackson. The portrait oc-
cupies nearly the entire surface Of the
stamp, and the character of the engraving
is such that the process of DETACHMENT, to
which is must be subjected, is easily and
effectually performed.

~ WASHINGTON, July Is.
Circular, No. 81.
The fourth paragraph of circular No. A,
issued from this Office July -, 1863, is
hereby modified as to correspond with the
opinion Of Hon. Mr.. Whiting, solicitor of
the War Department, which will hereafter
govern in all cases which it is applicable.
A person drafted into the military SER
vice of the United States under the provi-
sions of the act of March Sd, 1868, chap
ter rs for enrolling and calling out the ma
tional forces, and for other purposes,
claiming exemption from draft by reason
of any disability as provided in said act,
has the right to have the question of his
disability submitted to and passed upon
by the board of enrolment, whose deci-
sion thereupon is law.
If the Board shall have decided that the
claimant is liable to serve, he has the
right after such decision, to pay his COM
mutation money or to furnish his substi-
tute, within such extended time as may
be offered by the Board of Enrolment,
for his appearance for duty.

First-Drafted men become soldiers in
the service of the United States by the
fact OF their names having been drawn in
the draft. The notification served Upon
them by the Provost Marshal, is merely
an announcement of the fact, and an or
der for them to report for duty at desig-
mated time and place.
SecOnd-The following opinion of Hon.
VIM. Whiting, Solicitor of the War De-
partment, is published for the information
OF all concerned:
OPINION OF MIR. WHITING.
When person has been drafted in pur-
suance of the enrolment act of March Sd,
1868, notice of such draft must be served
within ten days thereafter, by written or
printed notice TO be served on him person.
ally or by leaving copy at his last place
Of residence, requiring him to appear at
designated rendezvous to report for duty.
Any person failing to report for duty
after notice is left, without furnishing a
substitute or paying $500, is pronounced
by law a deserter. He may be arrested
and held for trial by court martial and
sentenced to death
A person after being drafted, and be-
fore receiving the notice deserted, the
notice may still be served by leaving it at
his last place of residence. If he does not
appear in accordance with the notice, or
furnish substitute, or pay the $500, he
will be in law a deserter, and must be
treated accordingly.
There is no way, or manner in which
person once enrolled can escape his pub
lie duties, and when drafted, whether
present or absent-whether he changes
his residence or absents hmself-the
rights of the United States against him
are secured, and it is only by the perform
ance of his duty to the country, that he
will escape liability to be treated as
criminal.

L. A. BRuSSER, Esq., Sir AS l am
not in the habit Of writing for newspaper
publication, you will excuse me for this
very short letter. In the first place l am
happy to state that the 6lst Regiment
are enjoying good health as a general
thing. We had a rapid hard march to
and near Dumfreys, to try and bag the
rebels that were to make raid on the
place. They were TOO smart for us; we
did not get many of them, We were
lately near Fredericksburg, whore the
late battle was fought, but did not reach
there in time, in consequence of the bad
roads, it was impossible to get the artil-
lery along in due time. The roads aie
very bad---almost impossible. We have
not yet got into winter quarters.
The only thing new among us is the
resignation Of Capt. Nc cCutchen, caused
by his gettibg his foot badly bruised by
a heavy wagon accidenlly running over
it, which will disable him from marching
during the winter, consequently he will
be at lome in few days.

Sabbath School Festival
The subject of holding Sabbath School
Festival or gathering for the children in
Little sandusky. had been talked of by
the friends Of the Sabbath School during
the summer and autumn OF the past year;
but the mere talking over the matter did
not seem to give general satisfaction, and
especially SO to the children.
1t had been determined that on New
Years day there would be a meeting Of
the kind for the enjoyment of the chill.
dren, and their parents, teachers and 81.
fcers were invited to attend. The day
arrived, and the children with Joyous
hearta and shilling faces fastened to the
place Of anticipated pleasure. There were
mott Perhaps, as many of their parents
present them as Oh some other Occasions;
but judging from the many happy and
smiling faces Of little ones that stood
around the loaded table, we thought that
Little sandusky was pretty well represen-
ted, at least by the children. Not only
was there an expression of interest on the
occasion by the number Of little boys and
girls present, but when one looked upon
the table which groaned with the greatest
abundance of delicious cakes, pies, can.
dies, &C., gave evidence that there had
been more warm hearts and busy hands
engaged in the matter than were present.
B. that as it may, the mothers and daugh-
ters of Little sandusky are not to be ex-
celed in preparing a New Years dinner
for the little folks.
At two o'clock nearly all in attendance
were quietly seated in the church. Miss
Kate D. Worley had kindly loaned her
Melodeon for the occasion. A number
Of the young gentlemen and ladies had
selected pieces expressly for the days
exercises, and the tunes were sting and
played in such a manner rs to call forth
the pfaise atd admiration of all present,
adding much to the enjoyments of the
day. The parents and children joined in
singing portion of them.
After thanks being offered to the Great
Gvor of all mercies, all present partook
of the repsst, the children were of course
served first.
We can say to the parents Of Little San
dusky, that your children at that place,
saw nothing nor did tl,ey hear anything
that would, in the least, harm or injure
them, as they might have been had they
been at some other place; but they learn
ed much to do them good, and judging
from the feeling manifested, it was to all
happy New Years day. May the en-
joyments and pleasures Of the children
never grow less, and may this year be
spent in tie daily efforts to advance in
the way in which they should go.
We also learned that parents, children
and citizens generally of Wysndot, had a
pleasant time on New Years day, and
similar occasion. Good feeling and an
abundance of good things were the order
Of the day. Rev. Mr.. Wallace made a
feeling address. *a*
