about, were very agreeably surprised this morn

before stated, this number of men is needed to
nil the last quota of the Ward, aud the delay is
now made in consequence of some three of the
citizens having furnished substitutes. Itis hoped

other citizens of the Twenty fifth Ward, and that
before next Monday the number of men regis
tered may be furnished, so that draft may be
rendered unnecessary, The names OF the gentle
men who furnished substitutes yesterday, are
