THE DRAFT NOT TO BIZ POSTPONED IN
THIS DISTRICT.

This morning Mayor Wal!soh, accompanied
by delegations from the various Wards, waited
upon Provost Marshal General Fry, to ask n
postponement of the draft in this District, for
short period, in order to give the District an
opportunity to fill the quota, as active exer.
tiyns were being made In the various Wards.
Col. Fry gave the delegation q courteous
hearing, but expressed the opinion that no
urged for a postponement did not seem to HIM
sufficiently valid.
The delegation afterwards waited upon the
Secretary OF War, who also received them
courteously, but replied very promptly that
the draft could not be postponed. s'Not mi.

ALEXANDRIA ADMINISTRATION of De.
serter-Private Samuel w. Downing, ALIAS
fantry, was executed to-day for desertion and
bounty jumping. It appears, from Downing's
own confession, made before Col. Wells. Pro-
vost Marshal General, that he enlisted in the
4th Maryland in August, 1861, and since then
has deserted and re.enlisted, or Joined the
army as substitute, seventeen times. The
amount OF bounty and substitute money he has
received foots up grand total Of $3.50.
Dowing was arrested while at the Provost
Marshal's Office in Baltimore, where he had
gone 70 re-enlist for the eighteenth time.
button, near this city; was from there soon
transferred TO the Green prison on Fairfax
street, where he remained until after his trial
He was then for few days confined In Odd
Fellows Hall, and during the last days Of his
imprisonment was confined for better security
in the county Jail.
The execution took place on the common
northwest of the city, near Sickle Barracks.
The prisoner was marched into the square at
fifteen minutes past eleven, accompanied by
the brigade band playing solemn dirge, the
Provost Marshal, Capt Gwynne, ministers
and guard.
At the conclusion Of the reading of the sen.
tence by the Provost Marshal, the prisoner
spoke f0l1Sws: IN iond clear voice nt
ecuted and / reckon it's all right. All I've
got to say is, do your duty to your country
faithfully. l was once color sergeant of the
- Pennsylvania, and an honorable man, but
l have disgraced myself and now have to die
for it. You had better work for one dollar a
day all your lives than act as have l avn
worth twenty thousand dollars, but am to be
executed, and it won't do me any good. Take
my advice then, and let prostitutes alone
bounties won't do you any more good In the
long run than they have me. Serve your coun-
try faithfully and take a little whisky now and
then-it won't hurt you! l haven't got time to
say anything more. Good bye"
II there was any sympathy felt for the pris;
oner before this speech was made it was all
gone by the time Of Its close. After an exhor-
tation and prayer by the ministers in atten-
dance, he was seated on the end of his cffionn,
with his face to the east, and blind folded.
Not muscle was seen to move, bat to the last
be braved death as one who had fully made
up his mind to die. Exactly at II O'Clock m,
Capt Gwynne gave the order to fire, and the
prisoner was launched into that eternity for
which he seemed to have SO little dread.
Mosby Reported Wounded.-A skirmlsh took
place in the neighborhood Of Centreville day
before yesterday, between five Unien soldiers
and three guerrillas. Mosby was IN company
with the guerrillas, and 1t is said by citizens
from that vicinity that he was wounded in the
skirmIsh. The report comes SO direct that we
can hardly doubt 1t, yet we fear 1t may not be
true. We lost two horses and had one man Sc
verely wounded In the engagement-AIerdn-

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16-The late order OF
Sherman. in regard to his mode Of dealing with
secessionists, causing great deal Of uneasy
fluttering in that body here. A few indignant
comments, and a comparison favorable to But
Ter, is about The extent Of their condemnation
and protest at present. Bounty jumpers, both
male and female, continue to thrive, but the
authorities are active, and scarcely a day passes
that several are not detected and made to suffer
the penalties.
Its rumored here that distinguished mill

the Shenandoah valley. A train was kept TN
and this may have given rise to the rumor.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN LOUISIANA
The new Constitution Of Louisiana is adopted
by the people OF the State by large majority.
The Era says:
/" Louisiana is Free State forever. The
Constitution that prohibits Slavery or invol-
untary servitude, except as punishment for
crime,' has received the endorsement OF q
large majority Of the legal voters Of the State
Of Louisiana.
The election Of the ratification or rejection
Of the new Constitution, and for members of
the General Assembly and members OF Con-
gress, passed or very quietly. Considerable
earnestness was displayed In the early part Of
the day, and the friends of the respective can
didates displayed much enthusiasm for their
fayorites-towards noon q heavy rain came
on, and drove the crowds away from the polls
The streets were wet and the weather threat
enne during the balance of the day, aud no
doubt prevented many persons from visiting
the voting stations"
