SPURIOUS or THE CoNIN0 DRATT.-The
Board of Enrolment have been very busy
for several weeks past, correcting the en-
rolIment lists, and have stricken off the
rolls during the last month not less than
one thousand names. The reduction ofthe
Ii-ts is being made as thorough as itshould
be, although the draining, sitting process
is giving somewhat alarming results. In
anticipation of the coming draft the hold
ers Of tickets of admission into the elected
clique are rushing before the Board with
their certificates of physical disability,
alienage, over age, and what not. About
seYenty-fve such characters appeared yes
terday before the Board, giving them a
terribly hard days work. The Board wish
for about two weeks more time in which to
complete the work of purifying the lists,
Then they would be all right for the draft.

DEARTH IN SHIPBUILDIEG. - Those who
may chance to visit the ship yards of this
city will be surprised to see the almost
utter inactivity in shipbuilding and repair
ing. The like of it has not been seen here
for many years. New craft are not being
built by reason of variety of causes
which have reduced and propose to keep
down the rates of frsights, the dearness of
labor, and the advanced expense of all
building materials.
Qnayle & Martin have contract to build
q tug, g,using the hshed-up machinery Of the
wrecked tug Winslow, and this is the only
contract we can, on inquiry, hear Of.
In the way of repairs the barque FOn-
tauelle has had her bulwarks and deck
removed, preparatory to quite general
renovation. The schooner Midnight is on
stocks, waiting some repairs, and two OF
three smaller craft, scOws, &c, are being
patched. The shipbuilding and repairing
i---;--.-a is indaad exceedingly dull.

think have gabbled enough about
the mines and mining for once, and will
write little about farming, climate, etc.
There is not much farming done in the
territory, and what is done, consists prin.
cipally in raising few potatoes and 9th.
err vegetables, and in the cutting of a
little wild grass for hay. Even wild
grass is not plenty. The general face
of the country is one barren, sterile
waste, producing little besides sage bush.
and some other kinds of stunted bushes
The timber is very small and scarce.

of some of the bills which border on a
few of the valleys. The ground in many
places is covered with white substance
of the nature Of potash, called alkali.
and the water in many places is impreg-
mated with it forming strong I've, which
to drink generally proves fatal to stock,
and it is no uncommon sight to see the
sides of the roads, lined, as one might
say, with the dead carcssses of horses.
cattle and mules.
The climate here in the Reese River
country is much more pleasant than il is
at Virginia, although it is worse than in
any place l ever lived, except Virginia.
There is great deal Of sickness in all
parts of the territory, and many deaths
occur, but the newspapers hardly report
one tenth of the deaths, and contend that
it is healthy country, and dispute the
reports to the contrary, which appear in
the California papers. No person who
has lived in the territory for much length
of time, and reads the papers, believes
hardly anything he reads concerning the
territory, unless he knows from his own
knowledge that it is true.
AS tor society, do not think there is
any here. There are certainly many
good people here, but think there is a
bigger percentage of grand rascals in
Nevada Territory than in any other
place outside of Dixie. have been
obliged to witness more rascality in the
few months that have been in the ter

Quoted by 1t, Col. Barney there were
about one hundred present, all earnest in

acted as he had opportunity. No sooner

CAMP NEAR BRANDY STATION
VA, April 4tb, 1864.
Mr.. EDITOR: Nothing has occurred
OF late in camp worthy Of notice, aside
from an occasional horse race with small
bets of one thousand dollars on side
this manner of gambling is getting to be
quite common, land most too much so
fear for the good OF Uncle Sans horses
and service.
On Saturday last we received goodly
supply of greenbacks from our paymas-
ter, which always makes the boys feel
well, they must have one good repast Of
the few dainties camp affords, and then
we must remind kind friends at home
that they are not forgotten by these alb
sent ones, in the shape of present of a
few greenbacks, and hope Mr.. Editor
you will receive your share for your val
liable paper, which we peruse with much
pleasure.
There has been goodly number of
men OF late enlisting over from this reg
iment, but they have been very careful
not to put their names down for towns
not paying bounties.
There are some men In the State of
Vermont, who, were they on the sacred
soil Of Virginia, would have long ago
found homes in the old Capital prison,
had they expressed sentiments as they
do at home, and these men are allowed
to vote. We cannot call them men, al
though they wear the impress of men,
for he who will not defend his country in
the hour of peril, is not worthy to be
called man. Jefferson Davis is a gen.
tleman compared with some men of Or
leans County. Davis comes out bold, bus
these men stay at home and are not will
ling to assist the government which has
SO long protected them, nor do they 60
and assist JEFF. but stay in Vermont and
attend town meetings, voting against
every means used to fill up town quotas,
and have been informed some of them
send their sons to Canada for fear of q
draft.
Why does not the State of Vermont
rid themselves of such persons. The
State of Maryland politely invites such
persons to go over and live with JEFF. ard
II they are not inclined to do so, at last
they receive ticket by the under ground
railroad across the Potomac, and YER
mont would do we'll to follow suit, and
send such persons to Canada or some
other place, and they will soon. learn
what good government is.

HE MARYLAND ELECrIoN.-The
election in Maryland Of delegates to a
constitutional convention occurred last
Wednesday. and rs@~Itea In sweeping
victory of the immediate and uncondi-
tlonal emancipatonists. The Baltimore
American says that the majority in the
convention for immediate abolition, will
be at least twenty, and the majority in
the State for the onvention-that cues
ton being also submitted to the people,
will probably reach 10000. The cop
perheads either did not vote, or voted
the conservative" or gradual emanci-
patton ticket.
This result will make Maryland Free
State before midsummer, and open be-
fore her career of prosperity in which
she will, in few years, take the rank
with the rapidly growing free States of
the Union. The State is blessed with
fertile soil, capable of producing wheat
and corn and grass in abundance. Cot
ton and tobacco have time to come to ma
turity in its long summer. All manner
of fruits, the luscious product of many
months of warm sunshine, pour their
abundance into her lap. The climate is
most beautiful and salubrious, midway
between the sweltering heat Of the Gulf
States, and the pinching, almost frosty
summer of the Csnadas. Nothing but
the curse of slavery has hitherto kept
the grand old State back from the rich
development Of its resources, which the
near future has now in store for the free

ARMY CHAPLAINS.

We should be doing injustice to our
feelings were we to close without express
sing an opinion of this branch of the SER
vice, particularly after the attempts made
in certain quarters to cry down the chap
lains of the army, pronouncing them
"useless appendages There is, we
firmly believe, no class of men that Isl
more useful TO the service and to our
boys than are the chaplains. The com
handing general himself works no hard
er and has not many more things to see
to. He is not merely man of prayer,
to talk to the boys on Sundays and give
them long and dry homilies on the terri
BILE state Of their souls, but he is the err
rand boy and the savings bank Of the re-
giment, the letter writer of the sick, and
the doer Of an hundred little things that
the boys cannot always have the oppor-
tunity TO do for themselves. And when
it is done willing ly--as it no doubt is n
most cases--the moral effect upon the
boys is great and they are led to love the
chaplain as father. OF this class is the
Rev. John L. Roberts Of the fourth re-
giment, whose whole time is devoted to
the boys of his charge, who goes to the
hospital and to the tents of the sick and
talks TO them as man should, gets their
perfect confidence SO that when be comes
TO act the preacher he has the better sue
cess in leading their minds TO the source
of all good. An orange or lemon put
into the hand Of the sick has a better eff
feet upon the soul of the sufferer at such
a time than thousand prayers addressed
to the throne of grace. The invalid can
appreciate the one because bis thirst
Graves it and he is in no frame to receive
the other till that craving is satisfied
This we consider to be a common sense
view of things, and that minister who
makes himself the aleviator of bodily
suffering will achieve the greatest success
in preaching the word of God to mankind.
This is al least the practice of the chap
lain Of the Vermont fourth, and also OF
Rev. d. A. Mack, chaplain of the Yer.
mont third, to whom we made brief Wis.
it. They are both OF them untirinc in
their labors. Rev. Mr.. Mack was a |
classmate Of ours at Newbury Seminary
nineteen years ago; be was then as now
Flooding, firm, an unyielding and I'M
firing student. The war has brought
many gray bair to his head, which
proves that he has not reposed altogether
upon a bed Of roses. Rev. A. Webster
Of the sixth was in Vermont and we had
not the pleasure Of seeing him, but we
made inquiries of some of the regiment
him and the report was highly
favorable. We think the fact of our brig
ide being so well provided with chap
aims ought to crafty all who have friends |
n the army, or who have the cause of ,
Christ at heart.
