THE ENLISTMENT MovEMENT.-A Another
meeting of the committee to promote enlist
! ments was called to be held last night at the
! Mayors Office, City Hall, but as usual. there
was not quorum present, and consequently
1t was impossible to transac business Messrs

only Ones present. tF l~s .--0..--r - = -
Within the last week 80 more recruits have
been obtained, and yesterday the bonnties due
them were paid by the treasurer, Mr.. Semn1es
The committee and recruiting officers are
satisfied from actual observation and expe-
rience that there is no dearth Of men, and if
money can be obtained to pay bounties, &c :,
the quota OF the District could be filled up be-
fore the first Of March. The committee, the
colleetors, and all concerned. will therefore
see the necessity OF working with energy to
secure means; and If our citizens would save
Washington from another draft they must con-
tribute literally.
/ DISPLAYING sAR YELLOW FLAG.--The bill
passed in the lower Board of the City Council.
requiring yellow flag to be displayed from
premises where the small pox exists, has not
yet been passed by the upper Board, but we
notice that various parties in the city, acting
from a conscientious desire not to spread this
deadly pestifence have voluntarily designated
their houses where small pox exists by throw
ing out the yellow flag. People are thus duly
warned against walking unsuspectingly into
the midst of the infection.
As 70 the id that the display of a yellow
flag wonld create panic in this city it is only
necessary to call attention to the fact tina. COM
mon Tnmor always travels far ahead of the
fact in these cases; and since said rumor has
given 1t out that there are from fifteen to twen-
ty thousand cases of small pox in this city
alone, a proper designation of each house here
where it exists, would sho W that there is really
not more than twentieth of that number OF
cases in the whole District.
