SUBDIVISION of labor is the only practi-
teal way in which to do business, either
thoroughly or ezpsditiously. Understand
ing the value of this axiom and the incent-
ives to exertion which it induces, the
government, through its agents, has dtvi-
ded off all the counties, of all the States
into so many sub districts for draft Pnr-
noses. and REQUIRES of each of the sub-dis
tricts 30 many men, according to their
population liable to draft. In this county
we have FIVE sub-districts, being, IN their
order. as respects the Congressional dis
trict, the 9Th, 7th, 9th, 9Th and 10Th sub
districts. In the 9th district, 29S men are
enrolled, and, allowing 80 credits on the
former excess, 16 men are to be furnished
under the present call, on or before the 9th
of September next. In the 7th, 462 men
are enrolled, 80 are credited, and 25 are
to be furnished In the sth, 1921 are en-
rolled, 1872 are credited, and 70 are to be
furnished. 10 the 9th, l.3l4 are enrolled,
125 are credited, and 80 are to be furnish
ed. In the 10th, 5l2 are enrolled, 90 are
credited, and 81 are to be furnished.
1t IS, perhaps, not as generally known as
1t should be, that the draft or drawing for
men takes place not in each county by
counties, but in aud for each sub-district.
Thus, in this county, Eve drawings, one in
each sub. district, will take place on the
came day. If any sub.district has the
quota assigned it filled up before the 9th
of September, of course no draft takes
place in that sub district, and the remain.
der of the couuvy's quota must come from
the deficient sub. districts. 1t behooves,
theu, all enrolled persons in each sub
district to exert themselves to the end oil
filing up the quota of their respective
cub districts.

STRENGTH VERSUS SwEETEEss.-Very
plain but clever women, who are restlessly
conscious of their plainness, but decline to
adopt the attitude of humiliation, will dis
charge their impressions with bang, like
the bolts of a cross bow, in a way that
shows they almost triumph in disregardiug
the etiquettes of social suaVity; but after ali
they are better worth talking to, and will
generally succeed more entirely in getting
out of themselves, and hanging for time
the moral atmosphere they carry about
with them, than those who lose half the
singleness of their aims in the study of
pretty attitudes, or in watching the effect
of each drop in the healing stream of their
converse ton. Conscious beauty and a
conquering ease of carriage in man or wo-
man ooze out in q manuerism that gener-
ally Rwakens, and always ought to awaken,
sort of reactionary thirst for hard heal
thy hitting-just as you are apt to come
away from the unCtious moral el0quence of
the Bishop of Oxford with strong resolve
never again to indulge in a sweet and per-
sussiVe manner, and a wish to rub of the
impression by striking some one intellec-
tuslly on the spot. The consciousness of
a winning and persuasive grace, physical
or moral, may be very pleasant bat we
suspect it is a pleasure that pals upon the
possessor, as it certainly does on the re-
cipient of such suavities.-LoHdoH Spseta-

DR.. Wambey, for the respondent, con-
tended that it would be very dangerous to
set aside marriages upon technical
ground like this, and that the evidence did
not establish the completely of the wife
he also read several letters from the hus-
band to the wife, some of them written
subsequent to the filing of this petition,
in which he protested his continued devo-
ton to her, acknowledging that he had
treated her badly, and that he would "put
her name before the world pure and unde-
sled" In one letter he said he had given
up novel reading and taken to the study OF
man, and in another he reminded her that
he had "promised to coronet her dear
brow" and reproached himself as a wretch
and villain for having listened to the
promptings of ambition, and deserted an
| idolized wife" The judge ordinary, in
summing up, said the sole issue was wheth-
er the wife was cognizsnt of the Suppress
ion of one of the Christian names Of the
husband. They ought, no doubt, to look
with great caution upon the evidence
brought forward in suit IKE this, espe-
cially where it was instituted not by one
of the parties to the marriage, but by q
third person. In this case, if they believed
the evidence of the young man, the petit
toner's case was provided, and the young
woman not having been called to contra
dict it, he could see no reason for disbe'
lieving it. The jury returned verdict fol
the petitioner, aud his lordship pronounced
the marriage null and void.

TIE latest accounts from Mexico repre-
sent that Macmillan is steadily, gaining
ground in his new dominions, aud fast get
ting friends. The correspondent :of the
New York Commercial says the people, the
highest as we'll as the lowest, receive the
emperor with the sense that he is to be a
permaneucy in power, and that it is not
the temporary elevation of the leader of a
successful faction. Under this feeling
great satisfaction is expressed by the real
native population, who are not at all I'M
der the lead of the French, and the de-
meanor of the emperor aud empress daily
feeds and increases their satisfaction
Macmillan conducts himself like an hon
est, hard working monarch, and his appa-
rent confidence in his own powers adds to
the respect for him. He rises at FIVE a. m.
and makes ell his personal suit do as much;
attends to everything personally himself,
gives audience, reads aud makes reports;
walks about entirely alone, iuspects things
generally, aud is evidently bound to be.
come master of the situation. Another of
the signs of Maximilisn's advancement is
the detection of Gen. Uraga, one of the
principal officers of the liberslists. At
last accounts he was reported marching to
deliver himself up to the new government,
with his whole command. If this is true,
it will be the severest blow yet received by
the national flag, and will go far to seat
the new emperor firmly on his throne
Complete quiet will not, of course, imme-
diately be restored 10 all parts of the
country. But it looks very much now as
though Macmillan would soon be emper-
or in deed, as well as in name, with only
an Insignificant faction opposed to him.

or ability whatever to give it influence
So long as such pspers as the chief copper
head sheets of the county are allowed
free circulation, and SO long as Vallandig-
ham and Voorhees, end Ben Wood and such
treason mongers are allowed to do pretty
much as they please, it is simply ridicu-
lous to be making examples and martyrs
out of such small fry at the editors of the
Register. Gen. Hunter, in our opinion,
proved his incompetency as much in taking
any notice of them as be did in his mill
tary mis- management, tor which he has
been happily superseded at last.
The writer of the letter makes a brutal
attack on Captain Over, commaDdaut OF
the prison and the post, accusing him of
all sorts OF iniquities. We would not de-
file our types by repeating the epithets
employed. Among other thiDgO the Cap
tain is charged with giving the prisoners
only "quarter rations," and these of 'sOur
bread, salt pork and something miscalled
bean soup" The writer also charges that
the Captain is in partnership with the
suttler of the prison, from whom "supplies
of coffee, tea, sugar, and other eatsbles
must be purchased at exhorbitant prices
We have no means of knowing anything
as to these charges, but we have no idea
that there is snY truth in them.

Editors Lntslligencsr:
suppose the readers of your excellent
paper, 1.-THE soldiers friend) as well as the
friends aud relations of many members OF
Battery H., would like TO hear how the
BOYS conducted themselves in the recent
engagement at this place. l would say
they deserve the heartiest congratulstion
of every citizen of West Virginia, for the
manner in which they so mantully defend
ed their homes and fresides.
At the sound of the bugle, every man
was found at his post, at their several
pieces, fully determined on victory or
death. They stood to their pieces with the
Rrmness of rocks notwithstanding the su-
perior numbers they had to contend with,
and poured Volley after volley into the
rebel ranks, leaving them TO mourn the
loss of many a southern friend.
Capt. Holmes took an active part in the
! fight and was ever found at his post urg-
ing his men to Conquer, although the
leaden messengers of death few thick
about them. He as we'll as his men were
cool and deliberate.
would also add that the 18th West Vir-
ginia Infantry, and portion of the 9Th,
under command of Major Simpson, done
good WORK. seVeral tlmeb uFh"luB tue cue
my out of the rife pits at the point of the
bayonet, until the enemy with reinforce
ments made desperate charge and com.
PEELED our gallant Major and command to

Capt. Holmes Battery and q section OF
the 23d Illinois artillery, with renewed Wig
or again poured into their ranks decisive
and deadly fire which compelled them to
| skedaddle in disorder.
A few rounds we're sufficient to complete
victory, and the enemy retreated through
the night, leaving q great many of their
killed and wounded on the field, fully de.
termiued to get as far out of reach OF West
Virginia troops as possible ere the break Of
day.
/ would say in conclusion that Colonies
Stevenson and Hoy are good and efficient
officers, aud foiled the enemy in every at.
tempt to take our position. ]. E. NJ.
