Regulations for recruiting in rebel States
for loyal States have been issued. Recruit
ing agents must have letter of appointment
from the State Executive. The particular
field in which the agent is to operate, is to be
specified in the letter of appointment. Ex-
perience has shown that these agents should
not be paid for each recruit, but should have
fixed compensation for services. All re-
crniting agents will be subjected to the mics
and articles of was 1t is made the duty of
the comm anding officers of any department or
dist riot to order back to his State or arrest

Desperate Affair at StratfOrd.

Sheriff Colby Of Lancaster undertook
Saturday night to arrest one VIM. H. Craw-
ford of North Stratford, N. H., a drafted
man who failed to report at expiration of his
Through. His arrest was made in Willar1s
tavern, when Crawford drew revolver which
was taken from him by the sheriff and by
ISLANDERS. He afterwards drew long dirk,
striking with it at Colby and cutting cash
six inches in length through pants drawers
and shirt on the inner side of the left thigh.
Colby started back parrying the blows which
continued to fall and threw himself upon his
back, keeping him off with his feet, and call
ing for help. Crawford made pass at his
throat, cutting the skin, the binding and an
ugly cash in the vest. He then turned and
ran, striking John d. French, of Bloomfield,
who was opposing his progress, fearful blow
near the pit of the stomach. The knife
struck the bone and glanced-making a &C.
we're and dangerous wound, from the effect of
which, it was feared, French could not re-
cover. As be left the hotel, Sheriff Colby
and others started in pursuit. He ran up
the hill to the Blacksmith's shop, then plung.
ed down the hill and swan the Connecticut
river. He was plainly seen by the bright
light of the moon to land on the Vermont
shore at about 10 P NJ Crawford had boast
ed that he should never be taken. The Lam
caster Republican, in which we find this &C
count, says active measures are being taken
for his capture.
