Our CITIZENS propose giving thanksgiv'
ing supper to the First W. V. Infantry, on
Thursday evening This is good move
ment. And those favors should not be
confined to those soldiers who are amongst
US, but should be extended, as far as prae'
ticable, to those who are at the front and
those who are suffering the hardships o.
guard duty along the lines Of public and
army communication. Next to his nag
the veteran loves his stomach, and the sur
est way to win his favor is to compliment
his gallant devotion to the one, and pre-
sent him with thing of the gallinace-
Gus species to put in the other. Give the

1t is much easier to give thanks on full
stomach than on an empty one. There are
moro elements of devout Thanksgiving in one
turkey than in six boxes of hard tack.

Civilized Warfare.

The exquisitely sensitive soul Of the
English people thrills with horror every
time they cast their eyes across the At
lantic and witness the barbarities Of the
north in its treatment Of the south. The
London Times thinks that we have assimi-
lated in our characters to the red savages
who formerly held this country; other pa
pers, following the scent started by the
Tbunderer, are bowling on the same track,
and filling the air with medley as dis
sonant as that which pursued the fleeing
Actson. Singularly enough in its specula>
tions, as to the probabilities Of a nation in.
heriting the savage traits of aboriginal
races. the Times overooks the fact that the
peuple Of the South, quite as much as those
OF the north, are dwelling in country once
held by barbarous red men; and, therefore,
If there be anything in the mere fact Of
residence, they are as likely as ourselves to
inherit these aboriginal characteristics.
The result of this omission on the part
of the Times and Others of the English
press is, that the north is stigmstizsd for
its atrocity, while the South is lauded for
its forbearance and humanity. Every piece
of Information, actual, imaginary or ru,
mored, chit embodies an inhumRnity on
she part of the federal armies, is caught up
magni6ed and commented upon as illustra>
tive of the ferocity of the north; and at the
same moment we learn that the southern
armies are composed of christian gentlemen
who possess all the meekness, lowliness,
charity and forgiveness possible to aay
order of beings below that of the serapLin
1t is quite beyond dispute that instances
of atrocity on the part Of the north during
this war have, unhsppily for our credit and
that Of human nature, been not unfreq
in their occurrence. To-day, were Paine,
T1rchin, O'Neill, Butler, Montgomery,
Hunter ard others of that class of men, to
visit England, they would receive a greet
ing, compared to which that accorded 10
the Austrian butcher" Haynau, would be
complimentary. Whatever may be the YER
dict that such men may receive from pos
terity in this country, in all others they
will be embalmed in infamy.
While it is true that the north has stain,
ed its record with many cases Of wanton
brutality, it is equally true that occurren-
ces of this character have BEEN quite as
frequent in the south, in proportion
to the opportunity which has been at
forded that section for their commis-
sion. Occupying mainly 4 defensive po-
sition, aud having only in limited number
Of cases reached northern soil, the south
has scarcely ever been in a position in
which it could commit those acts of incen-
diarism and devastation that have been
witnessed so frequently in the operations

Interesting and Important to
those Liable to Draft in West
Virginia.
A. A. P. NJ. GENERALS OFFICE, I
= WHEELING, Nov. %, 1864. J

The necessity of correcting the Enroll
ment of every District and sub-District
in the State has caused the Provost Msr>
shall General to issue letter which con.
tains remarks of interest to every citizen.
BE says. "The vork must therefore be
performed mainly by securing the assist
ance and CO operation of the people in every
sub-district." ar
"They should understand that it is plain
II for the interest of each sub distaict TO
have stricken from the lists all names
improperly enrolled because an excess OF
names increases the quota called for from
such sub-districts, and that it is equally
for the interest Of each person enrolled in
a given ub>dlstrict to place upon the lists
ali person in the sub district liable to do
military duty, because the greater the
number to be drawn from, the less the
chance that any particular individual will
be drawn. 1t is The personal interest OF
every enrolled man that the quota in which
he 10 concerned shall not be made too large
and that his own chances for draft shall not
be uniustly increased; both these objects
will be obtained if all parties will aid in
striking out the wrong names and putting
in the right ones Especially is this the
interest Of those drafted men who bJ put
ting in substitutes themselves liable to
draft have secured exemption which by the
term of the law holds good only until the
present enrolment is exhausted in their
sub-districts. Men who are over As years
of age and in consequence excused by law
from the performance of duty in the field
owe it to the eatsc and the country to take
Jealous and active part in the correction
Of the enrolment lists, military service Of
the first Importance
The law Arequires that quotas shall be
assigned in proportion to the enrolment,
and the fairness and justice Of this mode of
determining the amount OF military service
due from each and every section Of the
country cannot be doubted, if the enroll>
nent is made as nearly as perfect as it is
practicable to make it.
The amount of service due to the nation
from any town or county is thus laid fair
ly and plainly before the citizens, and am
sure that higher motive than selfish in
tsrest will prompt all to their share in per-
fecting the enrollement and securing q Just
and efficient execution of the laws for rails
ing troops, whenever it becomes necessary
to apply them
