The Senate has amended the bill amend
ing the enrolment act The bill, as It pass
ed the Senate. now provides that drafted
man who pays the Communication is exempted
until every other man in his district is draft
cd whereupon his name is placed upon the
enrolment list, and he is again liable to
draft. Both classes are consolidated, md
all exemptions of the only son of widow,
father of mOtherless children, &C., are strick-
EN- out. The bill in this shape is acceptable
TO the House Military Committee and will
doubtless become law pretty much as hero
with given. The Communication is increased
TO s4O0-those who pay it Ito be exempt
from the present draft, but liable to be call
cd upon in the next. In other words they
are in the condition Of u reserve. Drafted
men may, if they prefer. be transferred to
the navy such transfers being credited to
their respective localities. Alterations are
made in the details of the old act for con-
Quoting the draft, and attorneys or agents
are restricted TO the fee of five dollars for
preparing the necessary exemption papers
The bill has not yet been perfected by the
Senate, but it will! probably pass that body
with the above prominent features.
Volunteering in this State does not 60 on
us briskly as was anticipated, and unless
something is done by our citizens and the
Legislature promptly, draft will undoubt-

much patriotism in our little Commonwealth
us can be found in the Union, but it mus
not be expected that men will leave theil
homes and families without some provision
is made for the care of their families durirg
their absence. Other States are giving
large bounties, and we do not see why the
gallant sons of the Diamond State SHOULD
not meet with the same favor from the hand
Of those who remain at home. If the Leg
islature will do nothing, let the loyal people
move in the matter, and our quota will sooi
be filled. Now is the opportune moment.
The cause of the rebels is OH the wane, an,
it requires but one more decisive blow Il
be struck TO accomplish the work. Let i

FROM THE CAPITOL.

DOVER, January lG, 1864.
The Legislature has Adjourned until Monday
evening next. think it very unfortunate
for the interests of the State, that the resolution
of Mr.. Williamson, which passed the Senate be-
cause Mr.. Hickman did not understand the
meaning Of the words sine die, had not prevailed
in both Houses. II would at least have saved
a vast deal of money to the State, which could
be more proftably expended As it is, however,
our citizens will have to bide their time, and put
~ -''>A. Nheir uua acts, unit after lNuveu-
Der. presume, they will have periodical Ses-
sions until their time expires, no matter how
much it may he in in violation of the Constitu.
ton of the State
Judging from the number of divorce cases be
fore the Legislature, one would suppose there II
terrible condition of things existing in the con
jugal state. One half of the bills before tn,
Legislature, are DEGREES of separation between
mau and wife. l think that the Legislator,
should examine all these cases well before act
ing. They certainly exhibit sad depraviiy il
public morals, which is a disgrace to Delaware
fear that this thing of granting divorces il
becoming too common, aud that they are givel
on evidence of entirely too trivial a character
To sever the tie of marriage the most convincing
proof should be required, that there is a grea
wrong existing, which cannot be remedied b..
any other process.
The committee appointed in the House on tina
portion of the Governors Message relative Il
