Philadelphia Not Exempt.

Dilatory Districts to be Drawn
First.

MONDAY utAls Iut ANlu INST
Although the quota Of this city has been re-
duced some thousands by means Of the enlist
mcuts and credits for the men who have entered
the navy, still Philadelphia is not yet ercmpt from
the draf. In number of the wards Of this city,
great exertions have been made from the time
the TACT OF the draft was first announced, TO oil
their quota, and in this laudablc desire some nave
succeeded.
Others are yet deficient some fifty or one hun
drCd men, while third class have neglected %
institute even the iuitiatOry movement IN the
mnltCr-the calling Of ward meeting. To all |
such, who come under the latter head, we can
only call their attention to the gratifying fact that
IN accordance with recent orders received from
Washiugton, the draft will hrst be commenced in
those districts where the residents have been
least energetic in cndeayoring to raise recruits to
I'll their quota.
4 The object of this charitable provision is to
allow all possible time 10 other wards where
efforts have been made to obviate tho necessity
of draft by recruiting. Surely, at the low price
Of recruits not u single ward in this city should
permit draft 10 take place among them some
of the most pupulous Of our wards have sue
ccedCd in reducing their quota to u few score Of
mon, and we can perceive no reason why Phill-
dc,phia should not be entirely exempt. I here is
money enough in the hands OF our citizens 70
secure this object if sufficient zeal is displayed
