A WORTHY ExANPLE.-The Hon. Charles
Naylor was recently drafted in Philadelphia.
He Immediately reported for service, but was
informed that he was over age, and was
served with exemption papers by the Board.
The papers set forth that he "claimed exemp-
ton on account Of age" He refused them
and addressed letter to the Provost Mar.
shall, in which he says:
never claimed exemption, and / now
claim no exemption. You informed me in
on official letter that had been legally
called, by allotment, to join my countrymen
in arms. The moment was so informed, |
held it to be, and hold it now to be, my first
duty to obey that call-all other duties OF
life being, in my Judgment, Of u subordinate
character. As an American citizen l con.
slider it (regardless of the provisions OF the
CONSUMPTION act) in the last degree dishonor-
able and reprehensiblc. whatever might be
my age, condition or circumstances, to offer
any plea, excuse or pretenso by which might
avoid the moral obligations Of that draft. |
have neither exposed nor suggested bodily
injuries or in6rmaties, alluded to family ties
or any other cause OF exemption; but have
answered your call, Offering myself freely,
such US am, to tho service which you say
has fallen to my lot-a lot which can en-
brace with pride and pleasure, not with pain.
With such sentiments, am unwilling that
my country shall make up u record by which
| am to be made to appear in the unenviable
light Of an exemption claimant. All that
remains to me of lie and strength | am ready
with cheerful heart. to give. l can give
no more.

He has recently imported cabinet 4 l-2 #.

more than 200 varieties Of elaborate full

wnAr DOES 1T NEAS?-It should not be
forgotten that the copperheads are sisniii'
cantly quiet by way OF resolutions at their
conventions. The State convention at Port
land which so incontinently skedaddled with
out making any nominations, had no princi-
Piles TO offer, or, in other words, was utterly
unprincipled. Last week, F" Democratic "
conventions were held in Vermont and lndi-
ana, and at the same time their Southern
brethren were invading loyal State and
threatening Washington; yet these copper
heads had no rebukes to oHer to traitors, not
word was uttered that JEFF. Davis would
not approve. Call you this aiding their
country? Well, the people did not expect
them to rebuke their "iriends."
