REcHITINo.-If the same activity as is at
present shown is continued by the various com
miltees whose wards are still deficient, there are
some hopes that the draft can be avoided. This
morning warrants were issued for the payment
Of sXty-fiye men, seventeen of whom were sub
stitutes. There are recruiting in Philadelphia two
organizations, or rather parts of organizations.
Authority has been given 10 raise two more com
panies for tho Union League Regiment which
left for the seat Of war last week and four com
panes for the Birney Houayes. This latter regi-
ment is TO be recruited 70 ten companies six OF
which are already full, while the four being
raised in this city are much behind. For the
credit Of Philadelphia, these four companies
! should he filed at once. The several wards
/ whose quotas are not filled will have their men
/ credited 70 these companies
AS a step in the right direction, we would state
| that at the draft meeting Of the citizens of the
| Second Ward, held last evening, the following
resolution, offered by Mr.. John W. Frazier was
| adopted -

Mr.. Frazier offered the resolution and advocated
its passage as an act OF charity to the First Seventh
! Tenth, and other wards, that are largely deficient
in their quotas as every enlisted by the Second
! Ward from this time forth lessons the chances
