THE Board of Supervisors completed
their work yesterday. and the money is
now available for paying each recruit three
hundred dollars down. The following is
the order of the Board:
ORDERED, That the President and Clerk,
in accordance with previous orders of the
Board. proceed at once to pay the county
bounty to recruits mustered in and credited
to this county, under the call OF July 18th,
1864. of the President of the United States,
for 500 900 men, to the number sufficient
to fill the quota of said county.
What we need now is some systematic
arrangement which will bring the proper
influences to bear on the work of procuring
volunteers. There should be a number of
persons at work by Monday morning next
as agents of some organized responsible
citizens committee. One or two or more
of these agents should go out and travel
and have authority furnished them where
with to represent the county, and money
enough to meet their expenses. The
stand still aud wait policy will moi
fill up our quota. The rate of pro-
gress is too slow for the short TINT
now left. Cannot fifteen or twenty
practical business men get together to-
day and devise ways and means2 One OIL
two small meetings, hurriedly got up ant
meagrely attended, have been held, from
which nothing has resulted. In this wa!
valuable time is being wasted. We car
name a dozen men who could put thu
whole matter through in two hours tint
to day if they would only take hold and or
gauize it. All it wants is q responsible,
start and business shape, and the people
liable to the draft will fall into it in thu
way of funds. The trouble is that every
body is anxious that some other body o.
bodies should move in the matter. They
are all willing to agree to and endorse
whatever is done, but are not willing tt
do what is prime necessity to achieve
anything, viz: get. up an organiza
tion by personal exertion. We ar,
urged to call upon citizens to act in thu
premises. But mere calling will do nj
good SO long as each man shifts action OF
himself on to somebody else aud shirks hi
own share of duty. We can tell all thu
parties interested that words will not &C
accomplish the result. Notwithstanding
the three hundred dollars bounty, casl
down, and the ten dollars extra to person
who may bring in acceptable recruits, W
shall have the draft unless we are Willing
to do, e.ch and all of us, some work ant
spend some money in setting others Il
werk. Do you use it," gentlemen of tn
enrolled cOrps1 IfyCu don't now, You viii

TIE government recespts from the new
$50 loan average about 81 900, 900 per day;
while the receipts from the 1910 loan,
long bonds at per cent interest in gold,
were only little over 100000 for the
whole of last month. After this statement
We are not surprised to learn that the bal
ance on hand with the o s. Treasurer and
his assistants is pretty well down. IN ad-
dition to the issue of per cent compound
interest notes, the government depends en-
tirely on the 7,so loan and the receipts from
internal revesue, for It's current expeudi-
lures. But the receipts from all these
sources does not exceed over $2,25O, 900
per day while the expenses are more than
$4,000 which leaves an unpleasant
balance at the close of every days work
With this condition Of our finances it is no

TELL THAT TO THE MARINES. oil
the marines who were on shore from the
Monitors the other day were telling sea
stories to a crowd of soldiers. Among
others, one involving popular supersti
tion among sailors.
One OF their comrades fell overheard
from the topsail yard while reeting in q
gale Of wind. He was supposed to he
instantly killed; but the crew saw him
standing erect in the water, and i'm
mediAtely lowered q boat, against the
wishes Of the captain. AS their hands
reached out to catch him he sunk sud
denly away from them into the water, as
the captain had told them he would.
Observing . look of incredulity on the
facs Of Sergeant B, who has often
"sphced the main BRACE" and is some.
thing Of wag withal, the narrator asked,
suddeBlyi
"Do you not believe it?"
"Oh. yes" said he, ~ believe it, for
I've been to sea, and in fact fell overheard
myself once"
How did that come about?"
"It was down in the Gulf coming from
the West Indies. The captain didn't
like me very well, so he went on and left
me. Iswam little-just enough to keep
me afoat-for number of days"
"BGt didn't you ever see the vessel
againf"
"Oh yes; but she went home and dis.

again. ] swan to her, climbed up her

with desire to go up and hear the band
