THE COMING DRAFr.-The committees ap-
pointed at a public meeting IN this city to sa-
meet at the Mayors office o.morroW night a.
1t is absolutely necessary that the subiec.

would be avoided. The treasurer of the com

bounty TO volunteers, and he has secured at
his rate fifty six soldiers since the 9Th inst or
at the rate OF seven per day. This namber
could be largely increased il the committee and
collectors would only assemble in such Il force
as to auihorize the adoption OF mora perfect
measures looking to the securing Of volunteers
1t is therefore TO be hoped that there will he a
large attendance at the City Hall to. morrow
night. Georgetown has returned eight recruits
within day or two, and this Is no doubt
owing to the fact that that city pays SIS pre-

valued at ever $4,000 were stolen. The front
door. by which they entered, WAS fastened by
three locks, but the thieves used a croWbar,
and forced the door, smashing all the fastan-
ings. Yesterday two colored men entered the
store, apparently to make q purchase, but did
not, and their movements excited suspicion.
They are unknown. 1t was a very bold rob-
berry, for beside the tact that the police are
passing and repass,ng that locality nearly
every hour, day and night, there is family
living in the upper stories of the house, lad
though the operation must have been attended
with considerable noise, no one WAS disturbed.
