The Providence OR. IL Post gives an
idea of the working of the conscrlption in
that State, in the two following cases:
Thirty four men were drafted from the
town of Little Compton, in this State
Not enc of them has entered the service.
Yet Little Compton is very patriotic
town., and voted for Mr.. Smith last spring
with tremendous earnestness-thc Re-
publicans getting three votes to one FOR
tho Democrats.
"The town of Bristol is also a very pa
triotic town. 1t has Union League, y
which is one of the most active in the
State. No Coprerhead is allowed tc
breathe within its territorial circle. Well
one hundred and nine men were drafted
from this town of Bristol; and how many
of these, think you, did the government
get? Just one-AND HE WAS A NEGRO
Smart old Bristol" :"

that, in the language Of THAR own leader
Mr.. Dawes, they stole two hundred mil
lions of dollars. the first year of Lii coins
administration, under the Abolition lead
ers, and it was dull year for stealing
compared to year or two since. and this
the people have to be taxed to pay fer.
CHARGE UPON THEM
that they have prepared a conscript law.
by which the rich mans money is
nut against the poor mans blood. The
rich man pays his military service in mo-
ncy, and the poor man in blood.
CHARGE UPON THEM
that they have kept up host of shoddy
contractors, suffers, officers, ship con
tractors. ship buyers. and those who have
filled their pockets by making mcrehan-
dizc ont of the health and blood of oar
noble soldiers. They have given the
soldier stale meet, shoddy clothes, pea
coffee and sour bread, in many instances
running his health and destroying his
life.
CHARGE UPON THEM
that they have vinlatsd the Constitution
and the law, and the rights of the citizen
AMI the soldier, constantly and outrage
ously.
CHARGE UPON THEM
til It they have trampled upon the rights
of the States aud the people most shame
fully. by interfering with the elective
franchise, by expressing citizens without
cause, by suspending the writ of habeas
corpus and declaring martial law in places
and States where there is no insurrectiou
or war.
CHARGE UPON THEM
that, in following the example of JEFF
Davis, in changing the policy of the Re
public from peace to war, from love te
hatred. from brotherhood to revenge, from
prosperity to devastation, from happincs
to sorrow, from constitutional law to tyr
amy, from freedom to dcspotism, from
union to disunion, they have tarnishet
the glory of the American Republic ant
blasted the hopes fthe lovers of libert,
throughout the world
CHARGE UPON THEM
hat, while they have made loud profes
sions of Union, they are struggling to de
stroy the Union our fathers made, by con
quering and dividing States. and by re
fusing to let States return to the uniol
with their institutions as they were be q

that they are disunionists, and traito

Execution of De.erters

A number of deserters from the Army
of the Potomac have recently been execu-
ted. On the 18th ult, Edward Elliott,
aged 81 years, and Charles Eastman, aged
% wears, both substitutes from Boston,
were shot for desertion. A letter in the
New York Herald, giving the particulars
of the execution, says;
Captain Fields came up and. bandaged
the prisoners eyes. Elliott sat back on
his coffin; Eastman knelt in prayer.
His voice was audible above the click and
sound of the guns as they were brought
to s"present." The word"6re" having
been gived, Elliott fell back gently on his
coffin only wounded, while Eastman jump
ed up and tore the bandage from his eyes,
evidently untouched. The reserve was
ordered up. Eastmsn appeared as if cleo
trifcd, and placed his hands before his
eyes to shut out the horrid sight. The
men again missed. The provost marshal.
during this, in mercy pulled our his revol-
YER and shot him through the head he
also fired another ball Elliott's head.
| After the two unfortunate men were pro-
nounced lifeless. the troops were marched
by the corps The provost guard had
some conscript prisoners in charge, and as
they passed the bodies they were seen to
change color and tremble, I hope this
fearful lesson will be a warning to those
misguided men who think they can shrink
from the duty they owe their country by
the base act Of desertion.
The Washington Star says:
A number Of soldiers (substitutcs) o

of desertion, they were sentenced TO b
