It is indeed Of the greatest blessings connect

be shared by all classes, however humble may be
the scale on which it is pursued. The directions
given ample for all necessary instruction, and
an ornamental charm is imported to the volume by
prsfusion of fanciful illustrations on wood They

air of elegance to the practical prosaic part of

Important 10 Drafted Men.

WAR DEPARTMENT, PRoyesT MARSHAL GENE
RAILS OFFICE, WASHINGTON, March 22--Cir-
cular No. l0.-The following opinion of tho
Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor of the War
Department. is republished for the informa-
ton of all persons liable to be enrolled in the
military forces of the United States, and in
tending to leave their places of residence for
other places at distance therefrom. The
laws against desertionlwill be rigidly enfore-
ed:
when person has boen drafted, in pur-
suanee of the enrolment act of March 8, 1868
notice of such draft must be served within
ten days thereafter, by written or printed
notice, to be served on him personally, or by
teao'ng copy at his last place of residence,
requiring him to appear at designated
place OF rendezvous for duty. Any person
failing to report for duty after notice left at
his last place of residence, or served on him
personally, without furnished a substitute or
paying $500 lis pronounced by law to be
deserter; he may be arrested and held for
trial by court-martial, and sentenced to death
IF a person after being drafted, and be-
fore receiving the notice, deserts, the notice
may still be served by leaving it at his last
place of residence with the notice, or furnish
the substitute, or pay the $500, he will be in
law deserter, and must be treated acoor-
dinghy. There is no way or manner in which
person, onced enrolled can escape his
public duties; and when drafted, whether
present or absent, whether he changes his
residence or absconds, the rigts of the United
States against him are secured, and it is on
" by performance of his duty to the country
that ne will escape liability to be treated as
cryminal."

Rear Admiral Porter, in a communication
70 the Secretary Of the Navy, dated Fort De-
Russey, March 10, gives tho following paTtic-
.,lars Of the taking of that stronghold:
The gunbohts, it appears, arrived at
Himmsaport at noon and found the enemy
poetsd in force about three miles back. The
Benton landed her crew and drove in the
piekets. The army came along in about
half an hour more, and landed the next
morning. taking possession Of the enc
my's camping ground that night. General
Smith concluded to follow them BY land
while Admiral Porter proceeded up the Red
River with all the gunboats and transports.
In the meantime the Passport had reached
the obstructions, and with the vessels that
kept face with her had commenced the work
of demolishing the Formidable barricade GU
which the rebels had been engaged for five
months. They supposed it to be impregna-
BILE. but our energetic sailors, with hard work,
opened a passage in few hours.
The Passport and Neasho then proceeded
70 the fort, which at that moment was being
surrounded by tbs troops under Gen. Smith,
who had marched from Simmesport. A brisk
musketry fire was going on between the reb-
els and our own troops, and they were SO
close together that it was difficult to distin-
guish the combatants. The PASSPORT opened
her batteries, but fearing to iniure our own
men ceased firing. when our troops proceeded
to the assault, and carried the place. In a
few moments, and with small loss, two hum
bred and fifty prisoners, eight heavy guns,
and two field pieces fell into our hands, and
all the munitions of war.
The main body Of the enemy, 5000 strong,
under the rebel General Walker, male their
escape.
Admiral Porter says '"Fhe whole affair
has been well managed. Tine troops made a
splendid march and attack, and the officers in
command of the guntoats and transports
have shown great zeal and industry in get
ting up the river and through the obstruc-
tions which the rebels deemed impossible"
In the recent attack ON Trinity by the gam
boats number of negroes who were captured
by the enemy in recent attack upon Good
rica's Landing were-rc-captured.

and with Con. kees afmy ne must invade
Ohio, and with Cen. Johnston's army move
through Kentucky and Tennessee into Indi-
ana aad Illinois without this If we remain
at home. and attempt to defend thousand
points from thousand attacks from an enc
my commanding our seabosrd and navigable
rivers, with ample means for transferring
their armies where they choose, and with
every part Of our territory assailable to cav
airy, raids, our agriculture will be ruined
and our manufactures will be destroyed.
Let us invade them with our whole force.
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland. and the
.scopperheads" will swell our ranks. We
want food. raimcnt and gold. Let US 60 and
take what we need. The army will receive
the order, forward to the north" with a
shout. There LET them stay until our ruth
less invaders call for peace. Better die there
with arms In our hands than starye here or
expire in chains. The best protection we
can give those we leave behind will be to get
the helpless of the north as hostages in our
power.
If our trans-Mississippi army advances
upon St. Louis, and the Virginia army upon
Pittsburg and Ohio and Pennsylvania, unless
the whole Federal army is withdrawn from
the south to defend Ohio and Missouri, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and Chicago will be coptur-
ed by General Lee, and Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois will be overrun by our forces, and
Missouri will be rescued. But if the Federal
army should be withdrawn, as it certainly
will be. OF else, if it should be greatly weak
ened to defend st. Louis and Pittsburg,
General Johnston can without difficulty adj
vance to the Ohio and liberate Tennessee and
Kentucky 1t is perfectly clear that the in
vasion of the north will effect these prime OBJ
jects.
l. 1t will free the whole south from the
presence of the Federal army. The militia
garrisons and our troops not in condition to
march, can protect our homes against the
small force they may have to harass us.
2. 1t will supply us with all the horses,
equ pments, clothing and articles of every
kind needed by our soldiers.
8. The retaliatory infliction of the horrors
of war will make the north desire peace, and
make foreign nations see that we have the
power to annoy our enemy, and dispose them
to recognize US.
4. 1t will double our army instead of de-
plcting it.
s. 1t will end the war in our favor in one
year.
