QUorA FuLL.--We are very glad to be
able TO announce this week that the Quota
for this town under the last call, is now
full, and thus the draft will be avoided.
On the revised enro ment the quota was
reduced from SO TO 40, and as the town
had five previously credited, there were A
men to put in. The expense of these
men we are Informed will average about
$3.50 each, which is something less than
had been expected, and the best of all is
that Of the whole quota of AZ, they are all
three years men except two. This graft,
! flying result has been brought about by the
hard work of several persons, but the
most OF it in the last few weeks has been
done by Mr.. Albert Derby, who acting as
the agent of the town, and amid much
opposition and some vile SANDER has pres.
1 sed forward with his well known enegy,
and accomplished the object. He has also
put in good men, who viii be oiSsonis lser-
vice to the army and the country, and dur
ing the work caused many 10 be thrown
out, after satisfying himself they did not
intend 10 faithfully serve their country !;
otherwise the quota would have been filed
at an earlier day.

THE FAIRs-The great New England
Fair at Springfield last week was7a fine
success and Vermont took her full share
of premiums. We notice that our neigh
Dor Geo. W.. Black. of Westminster. took
premiums on cattle as is usual with him at
such places. aWinslow of Putney aud
Daniel Davis of Windsor also take their
usual share of premiums on cattle. On the
finer grades of sheep j. d. Wheat of Put
ney and NJ. c. Roundy Of Springfield car
ried off the premiums. The Vermont
State Fair is held this week at White
River Junction, and to-day Thursday is
the great day of the exhibition, and as the
weather is exceedingly fine it will no
doubt 'prove success.

Negro Soldiers.

Congress has at last done partial justice
to the negro troops in the service. 1t has
placed all enlisted since January 1st,
1864, upon the same footing, as to pay
and allowances (except bounty,) as white
troops, and the question ofslaw concerning
the pay of those enlisted prior to that date
is left to the decision of the Attorney
General The bounty allowed to colored
troops is fixed at 500. The bill contain
ing these provisions has been for some
time passing back and forth between the
two houses on disagreeing amendments !;
but On Saturday the report of the Com
mittee of Conference upon it was agreed
to, and the bill only awaits the signature
of the President to become law.
The history of this war has shown, so
far, that the colored troops do as good
fighting as any. They have behaved
bravely, under all circumstances, In the
Department of the South, and that
department. is garrisoned by them now
almost exclusively. They won honors at
the siege of Fort Hudson, and lately, at
Petersburg, their conduct under fire has
been most exemplary. There comes also
a very creditabIe account Of their courage
db tuc lbo uAiAOi-
tunate General Sturgis. The testimony
to this effect comes from officers who look
upon events from purely military stand
point, and who nave never been suspected
of partiality 90 the negro, or even OF an
absence of prejudice against him. a dis
patch from Memphis states that the black
soldiers who came into~ Memphis after
Sturgis' defeat brought their guns with
them, while the white ones lett theirs be-
hind
That with proper treatment and good
officers these black troops will make good
soldiers, is no longer an open question
To put them upon an equality of pay and
allowances is one step in the right direc-
ton; all others that may be needed viii,
in the end, doubtless be extorted, as this
has been, by the bravery of those who are
its objects.

THE ARAY-ITs INCREASE AND IT'S
LossEs.-In debate in the Senate,
few days since, Mr. Wilson, Chairman of
the Military Committee, made some i'm
portant statements, from which it appears
that since the 18th of October last, six
hundred thousand men, not including
black men, have enlisted or re-enlisted in
our armies, and that ore hundred and
twenty-five millions Of dollars have been
expended in bounties since that period !;
that within the past year seven hundred
thousand men have been put in the field,
aud that since General Grant commenced
his march toward the rebel capital rein
forcements to the number Of forty-eight
thousand men, exclusive of the one hun
dred days men-some two thousand more
have been forwarded to him. BY the
latter statement, it will be remarked that
General Grant is stronger at this moment
than when be commenced his grand march
toward Richmond; for, no matter how
much the reported Union losses may be
exaggerated by the rebel newspapers and
rebel sympathizers in the North and in
Europe, it is officially known that the
actual losses of General Grant in al, his
fights, from the Rapidan to the Chick
ahominy, have not exceeded twenty-six
thousand killed and wounded.

LINCOLN AND JoHNsTON.-The Ohio
State Journal calls attention to the fact
that Abraham Lincoln and Andrew John
son are natives of Slave States. It says ::
''Lincoln was born in kentucky in 1909,
and johnson was born in North Carolina
in 1908. Is it not most wonderful
coincidence in the history of these won
derful times that two men, both born in
Slave States, both born of poor parents,
both subjected in youth to all the dcpres-
sing influences of the aristocracy system
of slavery without any of its privileges,
should become the standard bearers of
Freedom against the aggressions of sla-
very Aud it now seems in the highest
degree probable that in these two men
the iSLave States have themselves given
to the country the men who are to be
chiefly instrumental in -eradcating and
utterly wiping out slavery. From slave
territory these leaders of the hosts of
Freedom have sprung, who are now to be
made instrumental in bringing about the
abolishment of the accursed system of
bondage and oppression under which the
parents of these men were classified as
among poor whites " y

THE .DRAFT.-T'he following, from the
act of Congress OF February 24th, 1861,
may be of interest just now :
"a drafted man, furnishing a substi-
tute liable to draft, shall be liable to draft
on. future calls, but not untI the present
ensDHment shaN be erhausted' 4 new en-
rollment will take place next Spring.) IF
u substitute not liable TO draft, the exemp-
ton continues during the time such sub
stitate as not liable to draft, not exceeding
three years"
Substitutes mot liable to draft are
Aliens, persons under twenty years of
age, and soldiers discharged after two
years service; also all who paid commu-
tation or urni:hed substitutes in the draft
of 1868.
A'ieadqe of a proposed Substitute must
he proven an the same manner as is re-
quired in the case of drafted man.
Communication "shall operate only to re-
lieve from draft in filling tbs quota, and
the name shall be retained on the roll in
filing future quotas"
10 is sufficient, according to the terms
Of the ENROLMENT law, if a copy of the
notice of draft is left at the last residence
of the person drafted. Ii such person has
changed his residence and fails to notify
the Provost Marshal of the fact, and his
notice is left at the residence where en-
rolled 1T is legal service of the notice.
Another error committed by some drafted
men is, that after having committed, they
fail to report to the Pr6yost-M Marshal
They remain on the rolls, technically, as
deserrers. There are number of citizens
who are In this condition, and will be
classed as deserters unless they report
promptly and obtain their exemption pa
pers.
