THE DRAFT AND ITS REoumEH ENrs.--The
Bounty bill which has been passed by both
branches Of City Councils, proposes paying the
sum 500 to one year recruits; s22j to two years
men, and $500 to those who enlist for the full
term, three years. The city has q surplus of
| over 1000 men, which will be credited on the
present call, leaving our quota about 1000, which
uumbCT, if not forthcoming by the 10th day Of
| February, 1863, will be furnished by cOnscrptOn.
| Those who are drafted must either shoulder
muskct, or furnish an acceptable substitute. The
comm utaton clause, by which person who was
drafted might be released upon pay ment Of three
| hundred DOL ars, was repealed, with single
| exception in the case of persons conscienuously
opposed TO bearing arms, who 2'ay commute
| upon pas ment Of three hundred dollars,
| OF otherwise be considered as "nOn-combatants,
and If GRATED be held TO service for hospital duty,
| or in the care OF freedmen Persons physically
| incapable of duty are exempted upon surgical
examination. The division Of citizens into two
classes, the second class not being liable 10 ser
wee until the first class was exhausted, was also
abolished, and all citizens liable are enrolled in
| the same class and nav be held TO similar SER
vice The -se Of liability to the draft is between
I twenty bnd forty y-hve years. Volunteers may be
| received who are between the ages of eighteen
and forty-hve years. Youths between sixteen
| and eighteen years may be received with the
consent of their parents or guardians. The en-
listment Of boys under sixteen years of age is
| military ofIense in the officer who recruits them,
| who may be punished therefor.
| Volunteers receive the Government bounty ac-
cogding 10 the time for which they agree to serve
| For one year, SlOO; for two years, 500; for
| three years. $500. These amounts are paid in
iDstafments. To one years volunteer when
mustered in, S3333; to two years recruit
S6j 66 to a three years recruit 500. Two other
pstamerts are to he paid to the volunteer, or his
representatives, during the term of Service. The
monthly pay of a private, either volunteer, sub
stitute, or drafted man, is sixteen dollars a
monlh. Non. commissioned and commissioned
officers receive an increased pay beyond the
rates which were allowed before the last session
| OF Congress.
Drafted men receive no bounty either from the
| Federal Government or the city-neither do sub
sritutes for drafted men, or for men liable to
| draft furnished in advance of the draft, receive
| bOunties from the Government. Representative
substitutes for persons not liable TO draft are con-
sideIed as volunteers, and receive the Federal and
municipal bOunties, and whatever their principal
| agrees TO pay them. Representative substitutes
for those not liable to draft may be persons who
are liable. 1t should be borne in mind, however,
that substitutes for persons liable to draft, fur
nshed before drafting, must not themselves be
liable.
An enrolled man furnishing an alien as a sub
stitute is exempt for the time OF service OF the
| substitute, unless the alien becomes a citizen, or
declares his intention TO become so, in which case
the substitute is liable to draft, and his principal
likewise. man may enlist in the army or navy
for three years as substitute. II in the navy he

Since The Bounty bill has passed Councils, a
| number Of the Wards are taking the necessary
steps to fill their quota. A meeting of the citi-
zens Of the Seventh Ward was held last night, at
| Broad and Lombard streets. Those interested in
the draft should pay particular attention that the
names Of all those not liable be stricken from the
enrolment list Every name taken of reduces
the quota OF the district. Each Of the Wards,
| while they appoint committee to collect funds
TO furnish volunteers, should also appoint 8 COM
mittoe to huntap all the exempts OF the district
who may be enrolled, and zee that their names
are dropped.
