A REVEREND CoNscRrPr.-Rev. Mir. Pot,.r. Of New Bedford, was drafted the other day. On the following Sunday, he informed his Con gregation that if accepted by the Board, ho should serve. Said he:
 "My words to you with regard to our duties to our country have expressed my sincere eon- victions. I have preached what believed. and still believe as have preached and what have preached to others have meant also for myself: and could never come into this pulpit and utter again such words as l. have spoken here-for they would then seem to me mere empty breath-unless I obey, so lar as have the capacity, this call"
 Referring to the anxiety sometimes shown to, obtain exemption. Mir. Potter said:
 "Young men, if your mothers should be ay. sailed, would you exult because you were fee. ble-bodied and could not go to their defence i Onr country is our mother; and shall we not pray for strong arms, in this her hour of peril. to defepd her? I decide not for others but for one, do So pray continually; and shall use all possible means between this day md the day of examination, to make myself Dhysi. cally worthy to answer her call"

Ea- There has been no recent movement of Gen. Meade's or Gen. Lees army; nor is there likely-to be, so long as the weather con- tinues so oppressiyely warm. Lees army has been reinforced by part of Bragg's troops, and one division is reported to have been sent to Charleston. They will be needed there. A thousand conscripts are said to be arriving daily at Washington.

FLTEs.-A correspondent of the Courier. srys that mixture of Kerosene Oil (ono- third,) and Law Oil,s stwo-thirds,) applied to the legs of horses and oxen, will tend greatly to lessen the annoyance which these animals snf: fer in 6y-time. He says:
 4 fhrner used it last summer on his oxen. having it applied twice day on their going out to work morning and noon. His cattle gained in flesh during aytime. have used 1t on horses and COWS. Its benefit is immediately observable. X horse uneasy, fretting and stamping becomes, after the application, at once quiet"

 TIE DRAFT, which was to have been made at Headquarters in Bridgeport, on Saturday last, was postponed until Saturday next 18th inst, when the towns of Torrington, Harwin- ton and Washington will probably be drawn. The postponemest was matter of some dis appointment to several !" first class" gentle men from Wolcottyille, who went down on the Saturday morning train, hoping to hear their names announced to fame; but it was clearly unavoidable, from view of the crowds of principals s-already drafted claiming exemp- stion, and substitutes pressing for admission into UncA Sam's Army, who throng the Pro vost Marshal's Office, day and night. The Board of Enrolment are having busy time of it at Bridgeport, and no mistake. We learn that not : single principal drafted, has yet gone into the ranks, but has been dis charged, either by paying his exemption fee. or by furnishing substitute. Consequently, nearly every principal has to be examined, and every substitute, and as these examinai tions are very csreful and critical. the double labor to be performed is very arduous.
 x The labors of the Boam are also undoubt- edly increased by the fact that a perfect army of Substitute Brokers" who line the curb stones around the Provost Marshals or. nee, and who pull and haul tAe various msm- bers of the Board about in doors and out, asleep and awake, contFiying in every con

ItWas reported few weeks ago that the Hon. Wm. Aiken, of South Carolina, had been
 incarcerated ip the Libby prison, at Rich
 mond, by order of Jeff Davis, for disloyalty
 to the Southern Confederacy. Gov. Aiken's political and social standing were such that the story seemed quite incredible. Late in- telligence, however, fully scorroborates the re- port. URionists recently arrived from Rich
 mond, declare that they were associated with him within the walls of that loathsome dun geon. He incurred the hatred of the rebel authorities by reason of his invincible deYo- ton to the Union, for which they are now sub jectiRg him to cruel persecution. He is, per- haps, the wealthiest citizen of South Carroll i na, being the owner of numerous plantations
 and several thousand slaves. He was mem
 Der of the federal Congress from 1851 to 1857. and was selected as the opposition candidate
 when N F. Banks was elected Speaker.
 The correspondent of the Boston Horald, in
 letter dated Aug. 2d, says that the new bat tery erected by Gen. Gilmore on Morris Island,
 is mounted by the largest guns ever cast at the
 North. When these batteries are opened against Sumter, there will be dreadful scat tering of things generally. One hour and 2 half is allowed for the bomsardment of that fort before it will be compelled to surrender.

Ing and disastrous event of the war; and fats blow to the rebel cause.
 The receipts at the internal revenue depart ment for the month of July, are $5,29s ,467 larger than for any preceding month.
 It is now computed that three hundred peo. pie were killed by the late riots in New York. and claims against the city to the amount of $275,oo0 have already been presented. Yet this was demonstration by Copperheads, who howl for peace, and declare that law and order can be secured only under their administration
 Awhile ago the rebels were reported to have contrived way to protect the walls of Fort Sumter against Gen. GilImores heavy guns {; they had hung cotton bales over the southern face of the fertilization, and for time felt quite safe. It is since learned, however, that the device was bad failure. The cotton was ignited by the forts own guns much of 1t was burned or lost overheard, and the balance the rebels took in with all possible dispatch.
 The communication money, paid by those draft cd throughout the country, will amount it is supposed, to some forty or fifty million dollars.
 It is said that General Halleck is very em- phatic on the draft. He says we must either raise two hundred thousand men this fall, for victory and peace, or eight hundred thousand men next spring,to prevent all that we have won being wrung from us

Mr.. TLros's WAR Hrns.-Tho popularity Of
Mr.. Theodore TilIons War Hymn, "God Save tho
Nation" no less than its eminent fitness for choral
purposes ia shown by the attentive treatment which
it has received from various composers in different
