NOT CoRRRCT.-Some of our naturalized
citizens are about taking measures to prevent
tne issue OF license to any person Of foreign
birth who has not taken out his sfrst papers,
to do business in this city. The reason of this
Is SIMPLY the fact that when asked to go to the
board OF enrolment and secure their exemp-
ton, and so reduce the quota of the city to its
true number, most OF such persons laughed at
the applicants, and remarked sits time enough
after the draft we are not naturaliZed, and are
not subject to military duty NaturaliZed
citizens think II very unfair that those persons
should be licensed to grow rich upon the
necessities of the community, which neceSsi-
ties are increased by these fellows refusing to
show exemption cause before the draft, thus
exaggerating the quota of the city
MLITARY.-We take great pleasure in an
nouncing the fact that the order relieving Col
Wells from duty IN this city has been rescinded
by the commanding General, and the Colonel
is once more at his old post. This will prove
of more than ordinary satisfaction to our citi-
zens and the citizens Of the adjoining country,
as 1t was through their united efforts and re-
presentations that the last order was issued.
A greater compliment could not be given to a
most deserving officer. The order reassigning
defenses of Washington south of the Potomac"
thereby rendering his field of duties separate
and distinct from those of Col. WisewelI, Pro-
vost Marshal of the defenses north of the Po-
tomac.-Ate1dndrtd Journal.
