The Draft.

There are Il few districts in our county,
that have not yet furnished their quota Of
men under the late call of the President.
DO these districts intend to fill their res
pective quotas by procuring volunteers !?
Ifthey do, it is about time that they were
at work One half of the extended time
is now up, and the remainder will soon
pass by, and'then the citizens of these de-
linquent districts will be aroused from
their lethargy with the consoling and graf
flying consolation, that, they knew their
duty but did it not, and the strong arm Of
the law will compel them to do, what they
might have done voluntarily.
Four-ifths of the districts in the cOun-
ty, have furnished their quotas, and are
thus clear of the draft. Are the citizens
of the remaining districts desirous to fill
their quotas? Are they too poor to pay a
EJeyul Iocal Jounty? Is there not patri-
otism enough in any district in old But
her county, to cause the citizens thereof
to respond to the call of the Government,
which they have sworn to defend against
all enemies, whether foreign or domestic ?
AWAKE. from your slumber. ACT, like
lnen. Do your duty, and feel that you
are American citizens. Show that you
arc alive to your own interests, and the
welfare of your country. Do some
thing for the perpotuation of civil and re-
ligious liberty Danish selfshness from
your mind and heart and rise to the full
dignity of free Amcrcan citizens; that
your names may be handed down to pos
terity MS true potriots and noblcm"n We
are glad to hear, that at least four of the
delinquent districts ave moving in this
matter. Per=evcrc, AMI your efforts will
be crowne with success

Gently placed some unnecessary and very
aggrevating restrictions on. our prisoners
confined in Richmond. They are allowed
to write only six lines at a time to their
friends in the North, and that but once
week. The Lieutenant has received
from an imprisoned friend one of the six
line letters, which is not exactly in keep
ing with the intention of the regulation,
as the writer used the widest paper he
could obtain, wrote in diminutive style, and
abbreviated as much as possible The re-
striction is despicable, and must have been
inspired by pure malevolence Rebel
prisoners should be similarly dealt with so
long as it remains in force"

For the Citizen
March. 10th and IIth, 1864.

The melancholy days have come"
No more abroad dare TO roam;
l cannot leave my quiet home,
With skies so dark and lowering:
The ceaseless pattervf the rain,
Has filled me with stifening pain
The smoke lies level Ger the plain,
Instead Of upward soaring.
The foauing brook is "clear as mud
Your foot comes down with sudden "thudi"
And lights full often in a pud-
DIE not of limpid" water
Wet feet chilled limbs and "draggled" dress,
And bonnet, in " a pretty ness"
These are the pleasant things, that bless
You, as you onward potter
You can't go out; nor Is this all,
For if friend should chance to call,
He leaves a track on stair and hall,
Most trying to your temper.
But all in vain 10 tax the brain,
No matter how the muse may strain,
She can't do Justice TO the rain,
The very thoughts a dtmper. MN. o.

I'VE have long held the opinion that it is

all Democrats except Schurz. A patriot
ic letter was read from Gen. Dix. Mr..
Puriy was chairman of the meeting
Here is an extract from his speech:
Partizan as | am and as | expect to
be, | will unite with any man who will
vindicate the cause of our country, the
preservation Of the Union and the Consti-
tuition, and the supremacy of the laws
la the language of one of our most dis
tinguished New Workers, would say,
shoot down the first man who insults the
American flag [Chees.l Those who are
not with us, let us brand them as traitors.
We must take no step backward. Now is
the day, now is the hour to let voice go
forth from old Tammany that will say to
the constituted authorities that there is but
one sentiment in the city of New York,
and that is to defend the Union er'dle IN
the attempt"
And so they all talked General Mea-
ger thus transfxed the Peace Deniocra-
cy: :.
" What are the terms, he asked, on which
theyscould have peace with the south
There we're none which they could ac-
cept as long as there was asquadron Of the
enemy'in the saddle, or battalion OF IN
fantry in arms The General read from
The Richmond Sentinel the terms upon
Which Col Lee of the Southern army
would grant peace, and concluded by
saying that such terms neither their con
science nor their interests could accept.
And who, he asked, could negotiate such
a peace A vo.ce-"Fernanio Wood,

THE STRING CAMpAIGN.-It is stated
upon good authority that the Spring CAM
paign will be opened as early as the 1st of
April, and that it will be simultaneous
along all points of the line. The veterans
are now hurrying to the front from their
furloughs, and many OF the recent recruits
have acquired steadiness enough to be
trusted upon the battle field.
