No posrrONBWENT OF TE DEApr-Thc War
Department has forwarded ordcrs ~ all the Pro-
vost Marshals Of this city, directing them TO have
everything in readiness to commence the draft
Immediately after the expiration Of tho City
days allowed for the iilling Of the quota Of the
city. The enrolment lists are 70 be closed and
forwarded 70 the Provost Marshal Generals
office by tho lst OF September, with corrections to
that date In order 70 assign the proper quotas.
The conscrlptijn will inevitably visit portions Of
the city. Tho enormous burden OF the First
Ward cngs % IL hike the pack 90 Christians
shoulders. There must DO great increase IN
recruiting there - Cs ape the dral. 4 the
Seventh the Provost Narshlls will have their
hands full. Tho draf VIII be sweeping. The
most singular stupOr ismanifestcd In tue seventh
Ward. The volunteering there Is no, rs brisk as
might be expected from the liberal and patriotic
character OF its citizens. We would advise them
20 adopt the Tenth Ward plan, and form an
"insurancc association" by which every sub
scriber may be insured from the dram. Surely
there are large number OF citizens in the
Seventh Ward who are willing to pay, say $50
each, 20 save the credit Of the locality, as well
10 guarantee themselves from conscripuon on the
jth Of September.
How 80 AVON rHE DRAFT. - While the
authorities OF New York arc laboring to prove
that the city IS exempt nom the draft, in conso.
lucnco Of a surplus OF mon having enlisted in
tho navy, and while the press az home and
ahroad Is daily discussing the probability of
TIE enforcement Of re drAft on the Sch Of Sep
tember, it behooyes the citizens Of Philadelphia,
Notwithstanding the CNertiOns made 90 dlsCOdr-
age enlistments, as all such arguments are calcu-
lated TO do, 10 examine the records in their diff
icrent wards and discover just exactly how
many men have been furnished tho Government,
and what is their quota under the present call
The only fact this city desires 20 substaniiate is
that her quota Is tNR, by reason OF men who have
already enlisted either in the army or navy, and
then IL Is a natter OF but little moment 20 us
whether the DRAFT Is enforced or not. To-
doubtedy, there are many wards IN this city
whose quota can ho materially reduced ii the
matter is thoroughly invCs igated. Let the wards
Dc Canvasstd 81 scientifically, and the proper
credits obtained. Bat little time will be con
sumCd, and tho expense will be quite small In
comparison with what will be required TO obtain
fubsututes when the draft does come upon us.
Which i--Philadcpha desires as many re.
cruits as she can possibly obtain before the 9TH
OF the coming month. There are several regi-
meuis now in process of organization In this city,
and the claims OF each OF them will be found in
their appropriate column. Let those contcm-
plating enlisting in the defense OF our country
run their eyes over the list and say which of
them they will Immediately attach themselves
TO. The bounty money In an OF those regiments
Is large, and great inducements are offered to
recruiis
Hi5HTy I'tpoBI iyT DECISION RELATIVE TO
rB DRArr-Proyost Mlr>hhl-Gcncral Fry has
decided that men who paid commutation under
the draft Of june 1863, are liable to the draft
which takes place in September next 20 ell
liabilities in suh-districts under the cllis made
up to the present time, ard the District Provost
Marshals arc ordered to place in the wheel for
the dram. the names Of such parties.
PROvosr MARsHALs NOT LIABLB 10 DnAPr-
The case of Captain II. ). Nils, Provost Marshal
OF the Filth District, New Jersey, who was
drafted some time since in the -Four h Distric',
having been referred to Provost MARSHAL General
Fry, that official has direc, ed CAPTAIN Brown to
discharge Captiin Mills from all liIbiity under
the late dram, which finally settles the question.
AT WonK.--The mastering lieutenants ap-
pointedby the committee tosuperntend recruiting
in the five wards Of the city having the largest
quotas TO fill, are now at work, and have already
obtained q number OF recruits. l. now behODycs
these wards TO aid tho Committee all they eau
by literally subscribing for traditional bounties.
CANVASS YorE WABps.-Citizens should can
vaSs their wards and receive full quota for all
men furnished by them 10 the navy. The neces-
sity of this IS shown from the fact that canvass
of she Second Ward has brought 20 light the
enlistment OF $50 men in tho navy This number
Will be credited TO the coming draft.
