THE DRAFT.-we have the satisfaction OF
knowing that through the constant appeals of
THB TELEGRAPH, several of the Wards OF our
city have been successful in filling their quota
by obtaining credit for naval enlisments, as also
by raising sufficient funds to enlist recruits into
the service. The draft, which was expected TO
take place on the 9th instant has been post
poned-at least no orders have been received by
the Provost Marshals to enforce it-and there
fore additional time is afforded other Wards to
follow the example of those TO which we have
referred. II is proven beyond doubt, that re-
| Cruits can be obtained in large numbers, If the
| sufficient gTeonbacks are only furnished the
different Ward Committees to secure these men;
| and we trust that none of our citizens will for
| moment cease their labOTs to accomplish the con-
| summation of this desired end.
| An adjourned meeting of the citizens of the
| Ninth Ward will be held to- night at the National
Hall, Market street above Twelfth, which every
enrolled citizen should attend.
