Modus opcranal of Federal ReeruItIng.

The New York correspondent of the London
Ne,es who must be considered excellent authority
everything that concerns the interests Of his
employers, makes the following curious revelations
in AN aL.-..r.s vIudicatS the Washiu gton Gov
crntnont from the charge of recruiting: 81
"In the FIRST place, fifteen dollars werc offered in
New York to anybody bringing in = rec4iL' The
object of this To interest somebody 10 doing the
INDISPENSABLE work of canyassing, Of hunting up
those who were likely 70 join the army, and IL per-
suading thdsn TO join. This work has to be done
by somebody,
In England it Is done by officers and nom com
missioned officers, specially detailed for this
vice, and, directed tsee tho late circular Of tho
Duke OF Cambridge to frequent fairs, markets,
and all other places resorted to by idle adrentu-
rous or needy and in spite of their exerfions.
II is found easy matter to keep Il. British army,
small it Is, up to the required strength Suppose
it wcro suddenly raised to six hHndred thousand
uc,i and that gaps Of tremendous size being
daily Eadc in Il by the casualties and disease of
bloody do you suppose the regular recruiting
service would DO the only agency TO which the Gov
eminent would resort TO keep its ranks full !! Do
you that it would be saved the necessity of
canvissing altogether by the spontaneous rush into
! the seryice, private soldiers, Of the Igentoer
pcoPiSv who now Alled with such horror because
the Americans make no scrnple about employing
| meTcenaries?
'Tl,e brokers, here, however, not only pocket the
'hand money for bringing the recruit, bat they, IN
! general, mansge to share the bounty alse. That
they should DC able TO do Ia q striking ilustra-
ton OF the simplicity Of the Of those whom
they culist bus they do TO such an extent that
more than one OF them in this city hare made largo
! fortunes by the bnBaHess. They hunt mp the re-
cTssits all over tho country, explain to them what
usay be had by enlistng oeF to assist them in get
ting Il, bully them make thcuH drink till they
comps, advance them money to bring them 60 the
provost uarshals oface, show them the proper Of
fee to apply 70, and in fac, make of the thou
/ sand advantages which shrcWd, cffy-brcd knaYe
generally possesses owe. country pumpkins, and eS
, peoialiy araw Lrishmsp," to enable them TO get
: hold of q large share of the money have heard
of c-ses IN which, out of S79o, the broker pocket
ed $500; and tsiak there wers few men enlisted
4 throagh the instpinsntalty of the brokers in this
city in which the recruit manages to retain over
$500 or S4OO. You will sec from this that when
men are called for by the 200, 900 see, 600 the
profits of the business sanst be enormous. The
slave .rale CAT hardly compare with it. If b bro
ker only brought in ose man week he was richly
paid ;there wece few Of the successful who did
not bring in n dossu' week.
Nobody will suppo"e that energetic men, with
gains on such Aeele as this within their reach,

should be greatly astonished t. find they had NOT

cured especially for Amesies, sad no men make
soldiers than IriShmcn. Il would, therefore be
the most natural thing IN the world every bounty
