THAT part of the Presidents recent
call which gives volunteers the option OF
enlisting for one year, two years, or three
years, gives rise 10 good deal of consider
alton among the veterans and others imbu-
cd with the military spirit. The bounty for
ono year is but one hundred dollars, for two
years il is two hundred dollars, and for
three year it is three hundred dollars. But
oil these enlistmcnts arc for tho specified
term, or "for the war" it it should sooner
come to close. In this view Of the case
1t is clearly the policy Of the volunteer to
enlist tor three years or for the war. IIc will
thus get his three hundred dollars bounty
aud stand an almost equal chance Of being
discharged as early as the one year man who
gets but one hundred dollars, and certainly
quite as good chance as the two years men
who get but two hundred There is not
the slightest possibility of the war lasting
thIoe years more. and scarcelya probability
Of II continuing two years more; while ev.
cry new development leads to tho belle!
that one year at the outside win bring ",
peace. We have the repeated and emphat
10 declarations of the Rebels themselvc,
that they cannot stand il for another year
II is therefore tho clear policy Of the re
cruit 10 select the three years term; b,
will then make his three hundred dollars n
easily as the one year man makes his on
hundred.

a Pennsylvania Compliment 10
Ohio.

Speaking of the backwardness in recruit.
ing and the prospect Of heavy draft in
Pennsylvania in consequence, the Philadel.
phia Inquirer says
The Ohio people are wiser in this respect
chan We are. That State, which has raised
so many men for the war, has just gone back
to the old system to aid in the filling up OF
the Presidcnt's call for five hundred thOus-
and more men. Governor Brough has pro.
cured authority from the War Department
to raise twenty new regiments, and the Ad-
jutant General Of that State has just ap-
portioned them out among the Congressional
Districts-one regiment TO each district. -
Let our Governor procure similar authority
tor twenty.four regiments, to he distributed
In the same way among our Congressional
Districts. Let the most efficient OF tho re
turned veteran Captains be appointed Col
onels; give the Others commissions as Lieu
tenant Colonols and Majors promote the
Lieutenants to Cnptaincies, and the non
commissioned officers to Lieutenancies, and
We shall have, to large extent, n revival
Of the military spirit which operated with
such magical effect in 1851 and 1862 We
have an increased respect for tho Governor
and people OF Ohio for taking an active lead
N this matter, as they have been forward in
NIL patriotic and sagacious movements from
tho beginning of tho war.

handcufed him and bound his feet, and fed
him on salt pork. She said she knew the
man had some kind Of reptile in his stom-
ach, must eat salt pork and abstain wholly
from water. AT the expiration OF day or
two, when the man was almost dead with
thirst, she fnade him lie down by spring
and put pan Of water hear his mouth. In
about ten minutes large green lizard was
seen peeping out between his lips. In short
time after, accompanied by another OF the
same size and color, it jumped from his
mouth into the water. Five minutes later
three more came out. After waiting an
hour, anu no more making their appear.
