NV YoRK, August 3O-The Worlds
Washington special says Most encouraging
accounts are received from every quarter as
10 the number of recruits nov being obtained.
In Pennsylvania about 10000 men have been
recruited, and quite as many in New Yor k,
while New England has furnished u, 1000, and
perhaps, when all the returns are received, the
number will be found to be even greater than
this r-
The Western States are also doing very
well. For some time past an average of 1000
per week have been going forward to the Ar.
my of the Potomac, aud tor the next two or
three weeks it is expected that 700 per day
will be forwarded ~ Ja.a-
The average number Of troops now obtain.
ed daily throughout the country is about l..
800, and this number will be increased to
2 900 or $500 per day before the jlh of Sep,
tember next 4EA 9E4l la-b AatbAN tA
One hundred and fhy thousand men will
have been raised for the army and navy. Had
the call been for 300 900, it is thought it could
have been raised, but the larger call discour-
eyed the people
atOn account Of these large additions to the
army efforts will be made 20 have the draft
postponed, in hopes that sufficient num-
Der of men may be obtained without resort to
that obi ectionsbls measure.

Drafting Men.

The draft for this county is well under
way. Deer Isle had quite windfall in
the way Of prizes. Nincty-eight men
wanted, and twice this number drafted
Among the lucky gentlemen drawing
prizes, are Charles A, Spotlord and Thomas
). FGller, EsGrs. Brooksville comes in
for quite large number Of prizes. Nearly
fifty men deficient. and double that num-
Der drafted. In some of the towns, there
are not enough enrolled men at home. to
answer the draft Of double the number Of
deficiency.
There seems to be want Of practical
business capacity. i'll the officials who man
age the matter of fixing the time for draft
ed men to appear for examination, or else
there are orders which, although applicable
to more compact districts, are utterly out
of place in this, for we find that some of
these men are informed that they must
appear at certain day or he deemed
deseAers, when it is an utter possibility
to get the men notified before the day
named in the notice. This causes much
unnecessary i'll feeling.
1t would be well for those who have the
whole management of thi matteito study
the map OF the district, the means Of con-
municat.on, and the haIits, occupation and
temper of the people. The 5th district
embraces more than half of the seacoast
of Maine, and has large number of Is
lands lying of the coast, on which re-
side enrolled men, who are not at home
three months in year. tits prePosterous
to suppose that a district thus situated can
respond as readily as others more farorably
located How necessary. that the officials
in charge, manifest an accommodating
spirit The interest Of the Government
and the object to be accomplished alike de-

Keep on Enlisting.

BY circular issued by authority from
Augusta towns that have filled their quo
tas are requested to keep on eniisting men.
Men can no doubt be raised easier now
than at any future time, as the public mind
is now drawn to the subject, and the town
authorities see tn importance of keeping
ale ID with their quotas. The reason why
some towns had such large credits, is that
they kept on enlisting men. This should
have never heen relinquished for day

THE RESULT IN PENNsYLvANIA.-The
editor of The Philadelphia Press COM,
ments as follows on the probable result Of
the recent election in Pennsylvania, and
mentions the only contingency in which
the opposition can claim triumph:
We have already expressed our opinion,
and given the reasons for it, that the State
will give clear Union majority on the
home vote. But it is useless now to dis
cuss suggestions, for in few days the en-
tire vote will be officially announced. In
fact, but small majority on the home
vote could he obtained by either party
and neither could claim one of few hun
dreds as any great triumph. The
soldiers vote--the vote of thirty or forty
thousand citizens who are absent from the
State defending it and the country-is the
important vote. If they give the Demo-
Gratis majority, or il there is any Demo-
cratic gain in the army vote, then, and
then only, the leaders of that party may
claim triumph in Pennsylvania.
