THE DRArr AoAn-rrnr Yer TO Volunteer

The DRAFT AoAN-TIHE YET TO VOLUNTEER
Orders are issued so rapidly in reference to the
draft in this city that it is difficult, we should
suppose, for the Supervisory Committee to keep
pace with them. They certainly interfere most
decidedly with the action of the committee, and
keep the entire community in state of fer
ment and dread
On Monday an order was received by Gene
raj Hays, and communicated to Supervisor
Blunt, to commence to-day the draft for the
few remaining men requisite to fill our quota;
but yesterday the General informed the Su-
pervisor that the measure is again postponed
for week. Although this shows great and
needless vacillation, and through such indeci-
sion causes great deal of annoyance, which
| could all be prevented if the authorities in
Washington would take the trouble to inform
themselves of the position of the quota In this
city, yet we rejoice that the draft is again post
ponsd, and that Mr.. Blunt is allowed to pro-
coed in the work SO faithfully carried on al
most to completion. Only about one thousand
men are required by government count, and by
the estimate of the committee less than six hun
dred. This variance in the estimates is owing
to an unwillngness on the part of the War
Department to give full credit for the sailors
enlisted.
Now is the time, then, for all DESTROYS of
reaping the bonors of victory to come forward
and volunteer Those doing so will get three
hundred dollars cash in hand, and the war may
be at an end in less than six months For the
army or navy the money is now ready for
every man who volunteers. But this only lasts
marines, and enrol yourselves at the commit
tees headquarters, in the Park. This is the last
call. Come quickly or you will be too late
Three hundred dollars or the draft.
No ARTILLERY ENGAGED.-In the late battle
among the almost impenetrable jungle Of "the
Wilderness" it appears that, from the impossi-
bilty OF bringing it up, there was little or no
artillery engaged on either side. From this
circumstance the advantages which this terrible
arm of General Grants army, immensely
strengthened as it is, would have given him in
an open field fight, were entirely lost; and yet
he gained the day. What the result will be,
therefore, should Lee attempt to make another
stand en- route to Richmond, may be conjectured;
for there is no position beyond "the Wilder
ness" from which artillery can be excluded.
We presume, however, that Lee is aware Of the
crushing superiority Of General Grant in artil
lery. and will not stop to put it to the test this
General Butler shall succeed in heading him
off

Fight Between Union and

It is probable tina, Major General Butler had another

Beauresard. or has been joined BY that General and

army from the Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road seems to have brought out those lately
invisible interlopers known as guerillas in
squads all along the line. They are those
troublesome customers who are farmers by day
and soldiers by night, and they always hang
around within reach Of some supporting army
column. With the removal Of Lee their occu-
patton in Eastern Virginia will soon be gone.

of the company is that their Tea faster not
