The health il campis improving. The army

make it necessary, but while being held we'll in

cripple the enemy depart daily.
The Mobile papers publish call addressed to
the Freemen of Mississippi who requested to
meet in council at Enterprise on the l3tn inst,
TO consult together touching the interest and
honor and defence of the State and country in
the present crisis through which we are now pass
ing.
We are glad to see this movement in Missis-
sippi, for it indicates determination to revive
and concentrate the energies of the State.
Uy A most extraordinary custom prevails
among the Wires, powerful tribe, occupying
an extensive district in Cabul, among the
mountains between Persia and India. It is,
in fact, female prerogative that has no par
allel among any other people upon the earth.
and that reyerses what we are in the habit OF
considering the natural order of things-the
women choose their husbands, and not the
husbands their wives. Ii a woman be pleased
with man, she sends the drummer of the
camp to pin a handkerchief to his cap, with a
pin she used to tasten her hair. The drum
mer watches his opportunity, and does this il
public, naming the woman, and the man is O.
bliged to marry if he can pay her price to he
father.

YANKEE DRAFT,

The New York Herald says the draft was to
commence in New York on Wednesday, the
18th, and adds
Ample preparations are being made for the
protection of the force engaged in the operation,
and no interference whatever will De permitted,
as indeed, none is anticipated.
A very gratifying feature of the modas operan
di is this: To any drafted persons who, for what
ever reason, elect to go themselves to the army,
furough of longer or shorter time will be grant
ed for the purpose of the necessary preparation
for departure, the settling up or arranging OF
business details, and so on.
Substitutes will be expected to be in immeGi-
ate readiness for service, and will OF course ex-
pect no furlough.
All the lists will probably have undergone the
necessary examination by the oath of the month.
and the probabilities are that by the lst OF Sep
tember, the whole affair will be over, all he $500
paid iu, and the Substitutes provided, or the con-
scripts in the service of the United States.

A WORD OF WARNING

Rebel emissaries throughout the North
are active and vigiant in the plotting OF
their demoniac schemes. Under the patron
age of the Knights of the Golden Circle they
are connecting their stupcndous villainies,
and laying their deviish plans for tho sub
version OF law and order, and the introduc
ton of mob violence, anarchy or despotism.
Let the unconditional friends of the Union
he OH the alert. They should enter into :,
complete and thorough organization, that
they may be the better ablo to thwart the
lawless designs ol their adversaries
The emissaries of our willy foes will lcay,

levied upon the people o-who can only sc,

They are men who would sell themselves

FRUITS OF THE REBELLIoN.

The news from the South, to he found in
another column, which we take from the
special Of the Cincinnati Gazette shows that
rebel barbarity has reached point that
would cover with disgrace tho most savage
people on the face of the earth. The Rich
Iuond despotism includes in its conScripuou
males between the ages OF eighteen aud
forty. The State of Mississippi is now con-
scripting all between the ages OF forty and
sixty. In North Alabama and Mississippi
Union men were being hunted by cavalry
and bloodhounds and by the latter animals
women had been torn to pieces. Men sus-
pected of Union proclivities were shot down,
and their houses burned over the heads OF
their families, Men, women and children
fleeing from their barbarous prosecutors
had reached Corinth and received protection
from General Dodge. Union men from Al
ALBANIA and Mississippi were eulisting at
Corinth, and regiment was being formed
which already numbered over six hundred.
Rebels who had left Memphis for the do
minions of JEFF. DAVIS, we've returning to
that city for safety. A roign of terror such
as has few parallels in the history of the
worldprevoiled in Mississippi and Northern
Alabama. Neighbor was arrayed against
neghbor, and no one suspected Of Union.
ism was permitted to live.
This is the way in which the Emancipa-
ton measure has united the South as one
man" Aud yet these fends have the
sympathies of a class OF cowordly miscre,
ants in the North, who
" Are well prepared for EVERY KIND of fraud,
Would sell their country or betray their God,
Pillage the Palace of the King Of kings,
Or strip the gliding from an angels wings"
They have the sympathies of men, who
under the guise Of patriotism, are doing
the dirty work of the Devil, and his agent
on earth, JEFF. Dayis--mon, who are despised
by the patriots of our land, and who are
equally despicable in the eyes of open Sc
cessionists. A day of reckoning is yet to
come. and it will be bitter aud terrible

to permit volunteer soldiers to vote, than

been some hesitation ON the Purt of the ma
