am advised by the A. A. Provost Marshal
General for Ohio, that all men mustered in prior
to the 7th day of September, 1868, were credit
ed in the quotas sent to me for the several
Townships or sub Districts when It was suppos-
ed draft would take place on the Goth int;
and that all mustered since tUiH be credited to
the District or sub District, so far as can be as.
certained. ....-.
In order that credit may be given to the
Townships, as well as the Congressional Dis
trict, all Recruiting Offers are now required TO
place on the enlistment papers Of each recruit
the District aud sub District or Township
where the recruit belongs l think it would be
well for you to advise your Township Military
Committees to look to this matter, and see that
all men enlisted in their several townships are
thus described on the enlistment papers. 9th
erwise they may be credited only to the dis
trict generally, as the credits are given at
Washington, from the official rolls aud enlist
ment papers, when returned to the proper de.
partment there. ...n n...
Some Township Military Committees seen
to think that the Board of Enrichment have the
power to assign quotas and give credits tc
townships when draft is ordered This is q
mistake entirely. We have nothing whate ve
to do with giving credits for volunteers from
any county or township. The number of mel
to be drawn from each township will be fur
uished from Washington.

present themselves at this Office can be enlisted

A SPLENDID ORNAMENT TO BRoADwAY.-lt
must be pleasant thing for that venerable in-
dividual, the oldest nhabitant, to run back in
recollection to the days when our now palace
beautifed Broadway was in a much more crude
condition than it is in these days of progressive
utility. Such improvements have taken place
within the past few years in the appearance Of
our favorite thoroughlare, that it seems as if
some arch enchantress had produced the change
by one motion of her magic wand. . ~.
All along that grand avenue, from Bowling
Green to Union Square, are to be seen some OF
the most magnificent structures which ever
sprung from the train OF art and architecture,
And imposing as they are externally, they are
equally so within. Some of them are fitted up
in q style which would draw tears of ecstasy
and admiration from the eyes of the most ex-
travagant Partisan whose life is devoted to the
study Of luxury and magnifcence generally.
Recently novel improvement has been ush-
cred into existence on Broadway. We refer to
the splendid new Temple of Pharmacy 1.-THE
doors of which we're for the first time opened 10
the public but few days ago. of Mr., II. T.
helmboId, at No 594 Broadway, and adjoining
the Metropolitan Hotel Ever since Its open
ing day IL b as been favored with full houses, (tc
use the language of the dramatic critics,) i'll
unique splendor daily and nightly attracting
large crowds of admirers. ..
The entire building, which is 26 feet front
! 235 feet deep aud stories 10 height, has beer
leased by Mr.. Helmbod. The street floor ha!
been most tastefully fitted up, the front hal
being used for the retail department aud th'
rear portion for the wholesale business and al
laboratory. There is probably no drug stor'
in the world more beautifully and luxuriousl.
furnished than this new acquisition to ou
Broadway attractions. st.i '
Connected with the establishment is recep
ton room, which is intended for the comfort o
those who are obliged to wait while the pre-
scriptions which they desire to purchase ar
being prepared. This is something which ha
long been desideratum. which MIR. Helmbo
has supplied. The room is furnished wit
costly lounges, chairs. sofas, aud velvet carpet
Taking this new establishment altogether,
deserves to rank as one Of the msgnifcenees {

AstrAnuLA s. New LISBON RA1LRoAD.--Our
New Lisbon cotemrorary says:

a continued and persistent effort is being
made to put things in proper shape for
completion OF this road One thing must
be borne in mind, aud that is, it cannot be
built without the aid Of foreign capitalists.
If the owners of the coal veins along the
route will grant leases to the capitalists,
the road will be built, and at the prices
offered them, they will realize fortunes. II,
however, they choose to act the policy OF
"the dog in the manger," and neither con-
tribute toward the enterprise themselves,
nor grant leases of their coal veips to those
who will, the prospect of finishing the road
is gone. Their coal, without the road, is
worth nothing to them; with the road, and
the prices they are offered per ton to lease
they will realize from three to four hundred
dollars per acre. They must be prompt il
making their decision, or the parties who
would make the road will abandon the en-
terprise and turn their attention to the Goa
veins of Mercer county, Pennsylvania.
