49, "
THEe PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
j STATES has issued the following ORDER
aEXECUTIvE MANSION.
aFebruary l, 1864.
"Ordsrsd that q draft for Eve hundred Thousand
men to serve for three years or .during the war Dc
made on the 10th day of March next LOT the mn,
tarv service of the United States. crcditing and
deductinp 30 many as may have been enlisted or
drafted into the service prior to. the lst Gay Oh
March next and not heretofore credited.
fsieuedI ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The number mentioned in the above order In
clndes the 3OO, 600 called for in October last.
Man ~enlisting before tho lst day OF March WIN
be entitled to bounties from the Government as
heretofore, viz; $500 for veterans, and SSoU ior
nav recruits. After that time no bountles WIZ DO
na;d And I recommend to the Supervisors OF the
isner.l counties to meet and offer q county bounty
If from 500 to $500 in addition to that paid oy
The Government. Under q late act of the Legs.
lature this bounty may not only be levied for, put
the Supervisors may borrow the money TO pay tine
same. All the other States are Offering induce
ments 70 volunteers, and it seems to me that II
should he done in many of the counties OF this
State. It is true that West Virginia, overrun and
laid waste in many parts as she mas oeen, mas
shown q devotion to the cause In when we are en-
gagged that is unsurpassed, If equalled py any poI-
Ton of the country. Yet more troops are needed.
They are called for and must be furnished. The
number who have volunteered under the last call
have fallen much short of what had anticipated.
The State must furnish her proportion-lf not oy
yoluntesring-it must be done by draft. And
while I shall regret the necessity for the draft, l
assure you, if it becomes necessary, 1 shall aid
the Government in its execution by every means
in my power. E
The I'd, Sd and 9th Regiments of Mounted In
fantry have been changed to cavalry by a late or:
der Of the War Department, and I am authorized
to raise two new companies for each regiment and
to appoint a full complement Of officers tor eaen
company. Those who prefer new organizations
NAV recruit for these companies. 49,
1 request that the people take action on this
subject. That you hold meetings and encourage
e~nlistments and let US not permit it to be SAID,
after this war is over, that it was necessary to draft
in West Tirginia to supply her quota of troops.

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.


HEADQUARTERS, 3D SEPARATE BRIGADE,
9Th Army Corps, Bait. Aug. %, 1864.
Mr.. EpIToR;
In years past occasionally INDUCED in
letter-writing, as a source Of amusement, and
as means of disposing Of the many leisure
hours hanging upon the hands of a country
pedagogue; and-perhaps 81 winning the
respectable title of "a member of the press"
But those years have long been sleeping side
by side, in the tom b of time, and the visions
of my callcw youth have vanished like the
morning vapor, andI find myself contending
with the stern realities, incident to an exis-
tence upon the surface Of the planet known
as earth.
1t is true, the world is nearly the same as
when / was dreaming boy, scribbling
'creaking couplets" and jangling rhymes, to
please the fancy of some blue-eyed lass, why,
never doubted for moment, would accept
me as her poet-lover, and feel herself COM
plimented at ha wing SO brilliant beau
But Il have changed since then, and all those
who started on the voyage of life with me
but the world is about the same. The change
is in each individual, who is but single
character in the great drama of life.
One Of the strongest points Of evidence that
each succeeding generation follows closely
in the footsteps Of its predecessor, d the
country newspaper. From the time when
the memory OF man runeth not to the con-
trary," every village newspaper had its poets.
The first column OF the first page was gene
young ladies and BSronic youths. "Lnes

spectiully dedicated TO Miss =, and AN
Acrostic," &C., may yet be seen in tine lies
Of c.untry newspapers, published fifty years
ago. History repeats itself in the .Union."
Fifty years ago, some "Adolescens" wrote
poetry ~ to t'L,zzie r." Ten years ago the
writer of TINS did Something equally foolish,
and thought the world would be astonlshed,
at his genius. To-day ALBERT" writes lines
to Lizzie s." and makes ''peace' rhyme
with Increased" and "home" with "doafe,"
and is doubtless will pleased with the effect
his poetry will have upon Miss Lizzie's heart.
''Recips," an individual Of your town,
see, has turned blasphemer on account sot
Miss -of the Quaker City. He intends
to do a great many very desperate things,
one would judge from reading his poetry ~
if the lady DIES not SURRENDER immediately
think the country would obtain "brave
volunteer" should she refuse. 1.-THE battle
ield'fwsuld probably be his destination in
caSe this "earthly angel" should find sultor
more to her mind.

member him. | can't blame him for asking
the favor, for know something about the

consequence. We thought he reasoned
the cause of the nation well, though his
applicatiougWas nisapplied.
Last of all came the @gallant young
Senator" who did not rise to make a
speech, but oaly to have a talk. He pledg-
ed himself to be in favor Of no particular
man for the nomination of President. He
should go for the ''most available man"
and when the nomination shall have been
made, "irom every mountain top to valley
step, men, women and children would
sing peace, peace. The nominees of that
convention ''will be inspired of God, . said
he, He now saw ray of hope to dis
ruptured country, He now had a plan
for peace and the reunion of these States,
which would, if carried out, result favor
ahly, and that was down with abolitionsm,
with that abolished, peace, union, harmony,
fraternity and prosperity would again be
ours,

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

At County meeting Of the democrats
held IN Georgetown on the 10th inst, for
the purpose of selecting delegates to the
Democratic Chicago Convention to be held
the 29th proximo, Hon. Willard Salisbury
and Edward L. Martin, were chosen, and
Harbeson Hickman and Alfred P. Robin
son, ST., alternates
The first speaker who appeared upon
the stand was John Rell Robinson, well
known in this County as house-carpen-
ter, but on removing to Philadelphia COM
menced the drug-business, failing in that
he became tallow chandler, and last Of all
having married lady with some means
became gentleman at large, seeking an
Office. Mr.. Bell Robinson expatiated at
great length upon the inferiority of the
negro race, the great burden of his song
being his personal objection to social
equality with the negro, and his desire
for peace.
The next speaker was G.. w. s. Nichol-
sen, Esq, who wished the delegates in.
structed to resist secession and dissolution
and to counsel the adoption OF measures
by the convention which "shall guarantee
free election, and come to the relief Of
any people who may resist the arbitrary
acts of the administration, and ''strike a
Llow in their behalf"
Then came the whining Hoosier, who

perish bNthe sword, and that the NORTH
