ANOTHER REoMESr To nE ORGANIZED.-Ad-
vantage is about 10 be taken Of the recruiting
spirit, which is now more active than il has been
for long time back and an cndeayor will be
made 10 recruit full regiment in this city, 10 be
known as ihe Second Fire Zouaye Regiment
The necessary authority has been received from
the War Department; the term of service to be
one year. About 200 men have already been Sc
cured. The regiment will be under tho command
Of Colonel John g, Smith late captain in the
l9Jth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers and

mCnt will he held this afternoon, when arrange
ments will be made 10 at once commence recruit

gaDNed in this city was composed of members of
the Fire Department, and 1t Is proposed 70 have
this regiment formed Of the same effective mute
rial The spirit of recruiting Is now rife and il is
thought the regiment will be iii led in three weeks

which is never lacking in patriotism, will take
some action in the matter, and thus aid in speeiiy
organizing regiment on the same footing as the
old regiment of Fire ZDuaVes, whose heroic deeds
form one OF the brightest pages OF History.
TIE DBAFT.-There may or may not be another
dralt. If recruiting continue as brisk as it has
been for the past month or two the ranks can be
kept filed by volunteering. We have no doubt a
suflcientnumber ofmen are in the fed 20 end the
war, but this number must not be decreased.
Volunteers must be ready TO take the place of
those who may die or are disabled. As soon as
volunteering ceases, and the supply of men falls
short of the demand, then draft will ha made
Having this fact in view, the Provost Marshals
have issued a notice relative TO the correction OF
the enrolment lists. Parties properly interested
will at all times have an opportunity 20 appear
before the Board and have their names stricken
from the list, if any are Improperly enrolled
This is n matter in which every man subject TO
military duty is Interested, rs every name stricken
from ihe list reduces the quota OF the sHbdistrict
to which the party may belong.
