supplementary Draft.

We gave notice last week thata supplement
tary draft would take place in few days to
fill deficiencies in some of the towns in this
District, where the authorities had not used
diligent exertions to have their quotas hiled.
The supplementary drafting commenced
yesterday with the town of
BALDWIN.
The deficiency in this town was ten, and
twenty names were drawn. Sixty-two names
those remaining after the last draft-were
placed in the wheel, and the twenty were
drawn out in the following order:
Alanson Burnell, VIM. q. Spencer, Daniel
+. Flint, Oliver Murch, VIM. Guptill, John E.
Carturet, John Flint, Jr., Marshall Yates,
George w. Titcomb, Charles Harding, Thos.

LTMINGToN.
The town of Limington was next taken.
The deficiency was twelve. The names re-
naming after the last draft, 1873 in number,
were placed in the wheel, and twenty-fo
were drawn in the following order:
Ersstus G. Strout, John R. Bragdon, Thorn

Some of these were skedadlers to Canada
to avoid the last draft, but as they were not
drawn they returned home. Wonder if they
win clear out again?
The draft viii be resumed in day or two
for other towns whose quotas are deficient,
unless the deficiencies are made good immedi-
ately.
Three substitutes were accepted and passed
at the Provost Marshal's office yesterday-one
for each of the towns of Sanford, Kennebunk-

A New Atmosphere: BY Gail Hamilton, author
of Country Life and Country Thinking, Z
Gala Days." and !" Stumbling Blocks. !"
12mo, PIP. $40. Boston: Ticknor & Fields,
1865. ~
Here is a book suited to the times, got up in
the publishers neatest style, and filed with
burning words that can scarcely fail to find
their way through the materialisms of the day
! to the great heart of humanity, and kindle up a
spirit there which shall blaze out in better
life.
Imperiously as good, unvitiated material,
atmosphere is demanded to secure healthful
play of the vital organs, and natural and per-
feet developement of the material system, a
pure atmosphere of love, kindness and affection
is much more needed to secure spiritual deyel-
opement, and to bring the moral life to perfec-
ton and crown it with glory and honor; and
although we have not had time to read Miss
Dodge's new volume, we infer from glance at
a few random sentences that its object is to COM
mend and show the advantages of such an at
mosphere, and thus to do acceptable service in
behalf of those who otherwise might become
dwarfed, if not dead, by constant living in the
atmosphere of hatred, sordidness, selfshness
and sin.
"Gail Hamilton is one of the most vigorous
and forcible of American writer's, and whatever
she utters goes straight to the heart. ssThe
New Atmosphere should find entrance to every
household.

Railrosd travelling At the south.

A refugee, whose story the New York
World tells, gives the following account
of railroad travel at the South:
From Mobile to Richmond the trip Ia
made in five or six days if no accidents
happen $3.50 will cover all expenses
We bought peaches on the road at the
rate OF three to four dollars dozen.-
One Of the distinctive features in the
South was, in past days, cotton fields
spreading out over hundreds of acres,
their mass of green, glittering leaves,
whereupOn myriads of boles, like SO
many flakes of snow, were Graded by
the - passing breeze. No such sight
greeted our eyes. Cornfield after corn
field stretched over hill and plain. The
corn crop is good throughout the South,
ern States, and there is no fear OF
starvation. One car only is allowed for
passengers, and blessed is the man who
has lady in charge, for he is admitted
into that car. The bachelor goes into
the soldiers cars, there to stand or sit
on the floor, for they are nearly always
overcrowded. There is SO much travel
ing for the sake Of visiting wounded
soldiers or seeing relatives long absent,
that ladies have to stand up for hours in
the passenger car. Trains connect with
a certain regularity not always to be de-
pended upon.
