FROM NEW ORLEANS.

New YORK, July 1.-The Herald's New
Orleans correspondent, dating July I'd, says a
large force of the enemy had for three days
been raiding upon plantations near Lake St.
Joseph, between Vicksburg and Natchez. The
plantations we're robbed, and their stock and
the farming implements and cotton destroyed.
Several planters were taken prisoners. An or
der has been issued sending all registered enc

Capt. Geo. III. keith, Provost Marshal I'd District
Minnesota: h-.. Hr. ...I t.t
CAPTAIN: As many inquiries are made with
reference to change of residence and liability
to the draft, l deem it proper to invite your
attention to the following facts aud rules, for
your government and action in such cases:
1. Every man owing military service should
expect to be enrolled and be liable to draft in
some place. Wherever his proper residence
may be at the time of enrolment he may ex-
pect to be liable to draft. Should he subse-
quently change his residence and wish thereby
to change his liability to service, he may re-
port himself promptly to the Board of Enroll
ment of the District into which he moves and
satisfactory evidence to said Board of Enroll
ment that he has made such change in good
faith. The Board of Enrolment will then en-
ter his name upon the roll of said district and
furnish him certificate thereof, and serve due
notification on the other Board of Enrolment
concerned. IL
2. It should be fully understood that if a
man changes his residence and neglects to re-
port himself, as above expressed, in order to
be properly placed upon record, he will
be liable to draft in the town or sub
district only where he was first enrolled.
This right of change of enrolment and liza.
bility to draft is applicable in any bona fide
change of residence either from another State
to this, or from one town to another within
the State.
sd It must be remembered that he who de-
sires such change of EN- ollment should do it at
the first possible date. Should such action be
DELAYED until after the Board has formed and
reported the proper draft quotas, the applica-
ton could not be received, because man anx-
ious to escape from his liability to duty could,
upon learning the quotas and credits Of differ.
erit towns, change his residence at will into
some sub district which may have furnished so
such. sub district free from draft, and thus
avoid an liability to service. - a.a ,,a.lt, fT

LOGS CONNIE DowN.-Mr. Morrison, by
hard work and good deal of it, is getting
eight or nine million feet of logs down the Mis-
sissippi, and has got them over the worst OBJ
structions. The telegraph poles, small as they
are, are reported to be inextricably jammed on
the rapids.
On the Rum river, the logs are coming down
finely. Jas. McCann's drive, leading, is proba-
bly, at Anoka before to-day. We presume that
on this river head of water has been gained

SHALL We HAVE A DRAFr IN ST.. PAUL ?

SHALL We HAVE A DRAFr IN ST. PAUL
The progress thus far of the great summer
campaigns exhibits in unmistakeable light the
unfortunate fact that our armies in the field are
not yet sufficient in number to insure success
in attacking the rebels in their strongholds.
and there are other indications that the notice
of fifty days will soon have to be given for q
draft on another call of three or five hundred
thousand men. If the citizens of st. Paul wish
to avoid the breaking up of business and con-
sequent damage to the prosperity of the city
sure to arise from draft for two hundred men.
now is the time to commence securing volun-
teers by bounty, to fill the city quota. Inc
draft this time is not for the poor devils who
could not raise three hundred dollars, and
whose going would therefore hurt only them
selves and their families, but 1t Will fall equally
and iustly upon all able-bodied men. Every
able-bodied man is therefore directly interested
IN having our quota raised without draft, and
any taxpayer, whether liable to draft or not,
had better pay his share ola tax to give three
hundred dollars city bounty for volunteers,
than to have his butcher, tailor, grocer, part
ner in business, or members of his own family
left liable to draft from which there is no ex-
emption but disability.
Under call for three hundred thousand, the
quota of st. Paul would not be less than one
hundred and seventy-fve. Under call for
five hundred thousand it would reach three
hundred. The highest estimate of our surplus
up to this time is one hundred and forty. IN
der the coming draft we must raise then, at
least, thirty-ive men, or, perhaps, hundred
and thirty-fve. Whether the city could pay
two to three hundred dollars for such num-
Der of men and we doubt their being got at
less than three hundred dollars-without lay
ing special tax, is an important question to
be first answered but in view of the effect
which draft in this city would have upon its
business prosperity, we believe it to be best
that that question should be considered, and.
if possible, trial made to raise men by volun-
teering.

Why Coal is HIGH. The P6iladel-
phia Gazette says that some of the coal
miners who work by the piece, not labor.
ing hard, earn from $500 to $500 month,
which is $4,000 or $4,000 year; and
the car-pushers, their work requiring ply
steal force, but no skill, study or capital
have Sc a d"y. Then the railroads that
carry the coal have combined to make
large dividends /; and the mine owners
have done the same to secure large profits;
and the middlemeu and other dealers have
not forgotten their interests. The gov.
ernment is an immense consumer, 10 its
war steamers, and the FORCES, founderies,
and factories engaged in government work
must use great quantities of COAL Take
all these things together, and throw in the
advance in gold, and articles of produce
ard general consumption, and we have
some elements of the coal problem which
must interfere to prevent the solution be-
ing as favorable as it might be desired.
